AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
222 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL STRENGTHEN FROM THE CENTRAL
PLAINS INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC BY THE END OF THE WEEK. BEFORE
THAT OCCURS...SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL COMBINE WITH
HEAT AND HUMIDITY TO PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 115 AM EDT THURSDAY...

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE REMNANTS OF A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MAKING
ITS WAY SOUTHWARD ACROSS OHIO...JUST ABOUT TO CROSS THE RIVER INTO
WEST VIRGINIA. RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES THESE STORMS ARE GRADUALLY
WEAKENING AS THEY ADVANCE...BUT A GOOD DEAL OF INSTABILITY REMAINS
ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA THIS MORNING. BASICALLY HAVE UPDATED THE
FORECAST TO REFLECT THE SLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF THESE STORMS MAKING
IT INTO THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR FORECAST AREA...ALTHOUGH DO NOT
BELIEVE THEY WILL BE VERY STRONG IF THEY DO ENTER OUR AREA. ALSO
INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND TWEAKED MINIMUM TEMPERATURES UPWARD A
DEGREE OR TWO FOR THIS MORNING ACROSS THE AREA TO REFLECT THE
INCREASED CLOUD COVER THIS ACTIVITY WILL BRING.

WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THESE DEBRIS CLOUDS WILL AFFECT
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES FOR THURSDAY...IF AT ALL.

AS OF 915 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

STORMS HAVE FADED WITH LOSS OF HEATING FOR NOW...ALTHOUGH WITH
LINGERING INSTABILITY AND SUBTLE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES LYING AROUND
AM KEEPING A SLIGHT CHANCE POP THROUGH REMAINDER OF EVENING ACROSS
THE SOUTH...AND THEN RETURNING SLIGHT CHC AND CHC ACROSS NORTH AND
WEST SOON BEFORE MIDNIGHT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS GIVEN THE MORE
ORGANIZED CONVECTION TO THE NORTH...ONE CLUSTER MOVING INTO NRN VA
AND LIKELY TO MISS US...UNLESS IT BACK BUILDS...AND ANOTHER LARGER
AND STRONGER AREA IN CENTRAL OH...MORE LIKELY TO SKIRT OUR WRN
SECTIONS...PERHAPS AFTER MIDNIGHT NOW. BEGIN TO REDUCE THE CHC
BACK TO SLIGHT CHC AFTER ABOUT 2 AM IN THE WEST. GIVEN THE DEGREE
OF INSTABILITY ACROSS OUR NORTH...STILL SOME 2000-3000 SB
CAPE...AS WELL AS VERY HIGH DCAPE WITH MID LEVEL DRY AIR AND STEEP
LAPSE RATES SEEN IN 00Z SOUNDING...AM CONCERNED THAT IF ANY OF
THIS DOES MAKE IT WE COULD STILL SEE SOME STRONG WINDS WITH THESE.
WILL ADD THIS BACK TO GRIDS IN A COUPLE HOURS IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT
REALLY WILL MAKE IT.

OTHERWISE...SHOULD BE ANOTHER MILD NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTH WHERE AT LEAST SOME DEBRIS CLOUDS SHOULD MOVE IN FROM THE
NORTH. BUMPED UP MINDS A FEW DEG ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF FCST AREA.

PREV DISCUSSION AS OF 610 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

MINOR UPDATE WAS DONE MAINLY FOR COVERAGE OF SHWRS AND
TSTRMS...MORE ISOLATED IN MOST LOCATIONS AND ESPECIALLY WITH
DIMINISHING COVERAGE ACROSS NW NC. ALSO NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN
SOUTHEAST PORTION OF AREA WITH LOWER INSTABILITY AND STILL COME
LOW LEVEL CAP. THE NW AREAS SHOULD SEE LITTLE IF ANY ACTIVITY
EARLY THIS EVENING WITH DRY AIR ALOFT...UNTIL MORE ORGANIZED AREA
OF CONVECTION APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH LATE THIS EVENING...PER
SOME OF THE CONVECTIVE RESOLVING MODELS AND CURRENT DEVELOPING
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER SW PA AND PARTS OF EASTERN OH WHERE
INSTABILITY IF CURRENTLY VERY HIGH. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CLIP
THE FAR WESTERN SECTION OF OUR AREA BY LATE EVENING AND LASTING TO
PERHAPS ABOUT MIDNIGHT. MAY BE LOSING SOME PUNCH..BUT WITH DCAPE
VALUES AS HIGH AS THEY ARE...GUSTY WINDS MAY BE AN ISSUE FOR A
WHILE. WILL ALSO NEED TO WATCH THE CONVECTION UP IN PA TO SEE IF
IT PUSHES EAST ENOUGH TO THEN PERHAPS INFLUENCE MORE OF THE VA
PORTION OF OUR AREA...MAYBE AS FAR EAST AS I-81. EVENING SOUNDINGS
MAY HELP PROVIDE SOME CLUES.

PREV DISCUSSION AS OF 310 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

A DISTURBANCE SINKING SOUTHWARD THROUGH SW VA THIS AFTERNOON WAS
ALLOWING STORMS TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THIS AFTERNOON RT 460 AND
POINTS SOUTH. LIKE YESTERDAY...SOME OF THESE CELLS COULD BECOME
SEVERE WITH STRONG WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. SLOWER MOVEMENT AND
BACKBUILDING COULD LEAD TO WATER PROBLEMS. SINKING AIR AND A DECENT
AMOUNT OF MIDLEVEL DRY AIR EXISTS BEHIND THIS WAVE...SUCH THAT
COVERAGE MAY DECREASE AND END RATHER QUICKLY WHEN COMBINED WITH LOSS
OF HEATING. KEPT POPS MINIMAL RT 460 AT POINTS NORTH FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE BEST COVERAGE
STAYS ALONG NW NC AND PERHAPS THE SOUTHSIDE UNTIL ABOUT DINNERTIME.
FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES...WHERE MORE ORGANIZED
STRONGER STORMS MAY FORM OFF OF A LAKE BREEZE. WIND FIELD IS SUCH
THAT SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE DIRECTED DUE SOUTH...BUT MOSTLY
TOWARDS SE WEST VA AND EXTREME SW VA LATER TONIGHT. KEPT HIGHEST
POPS IN THOSE SECTIONS LATER THIS EVENING.

WHAT PROMISES TO BE A VERY WARM OVERNIGHT SHOULD GIVE THURSDAY A
WARM START...AND SEND ROANOKE AGAIN RACING TOWARDS THE 100 DEGREE
MARK. DID GO ABOVE MOS AT SOME LOCATIONS TONIGHT CONSIDERING THE
MIXING/GRADIENT WHICH WILL REMAIN FOR THE OVERNIGHT. THE SOUTHSIDE
AND PIEDMONT WILL ALSO RUN TOWARDS THE UPPER 90S...ALTHOUGH THEY
WILL NOT BE AS INFLUENCED BY A NW DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT LIKE ROANOKE
WILL BE...PERHAPS GUSTING TO 25 MPH WITH DEEP MIXING CAUSING
DEWPOINTS TO FALL INTO THE LOWER 60S. BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS AGAIN
SHOULD BE ACROSS NW NC AND EXTREME SW VA WITH WIND DIRECTION AND
SPEED SIMILAR TO TODAY'S REGIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS IF 400 PM WEDNESDAY...

END OF THE WEEK LOOKS HOT WITH BLOW TORCH DOWNSLOPE WEST NORTHWEST
WIND OVERTOP OF BUILDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. 85H TEMPS ARE FCST
NEAR +23 DEG C FOR BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH DEVELOPMENT OF
LEE TROF AND DOWNSLOPE ADIABATIC HEATING HELPING TO BOOST SFC
TEMPS NEAR CENTURY MARK ALONG AND EAST BLUE RIDGE...INNER CITY
TEMPS AT ROA/LYH/DAN POISED TO REACH 100-105 DEG F RANGE WITH
POTENTIAL NEED FOR HEAT ADVISORY HEADLINE...AND STRING OF
LEMONADE DAYS ALMOST A CERTAINTY FOR BLUEFIELD WITH FCST TMAX IN
THE L90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAY BE HARD PRESSED TO SINK MUCH BLOW 70
DEG F...ESP IN THE INDEPENDENT CITIES.

500 MB TEMPS WARM FROM M7 FRIDAY TO M4 SATURDAY...THUS THINK
FRIDAY OFFERS BETTER CHANCE OF LATE AFTERNOON STORMS COMPARED TO
SATURDAY. SATURDAY MAY BE COMPLETELY RAIN FREE IF A STRONG ENOUGH
CAP EXISTS PER WARMIN ALOFT. FOR NOW...MAINTAINED CHC STORMS
FRIDAY...AND SLIGHT CHC STORMS SATURDAY BUT MAINLY FAR WRN CWA
VCNTY OF MTNS.

BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...WILL BE KEEPING AN
EYE ON A COLD FRONT SINKING SOUTHWARD FROM THE GREAT LAKES. THIS
FRONT WILL RESULT IN INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA TOWARD
SUNRISE SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER WARM DAY B4 UPPER RIDGE RETROGRADES WEST
AND TROUGHING DEVELOPS OVER THE ERN CONUS. MODELS REMAIN
CONSISTENT THAT COOL DOWN WILL TAKE PLACE FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK...SHAVING ABOUT 10 DEG C OFF THE 85H TEMP AND TRIMMING SFC
TEMPS TO A MORE TOLERABLE LEVEL.

WEST-EAST ORIENTED SFC FRONT IS PROGGED TO SAG SOUTHWARD THROUGH
THE REGION SUNDAY. THE BIG QUESTION...AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE AT
THIS TIME OF THE YEAR...IS HOW FAR SOUTH THIS FRONT WILL DRIFT
BEFORE STALLING. LONG RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE
FRONT MAKING INTO AT LEAST TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF OUR CWA BY
SUNDAY...AND AN EVENTUAL PUSH INTO GA/SC EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
DIFFERING SOLUTIONS ON WHETHER THE DEEPER MOISTURE CLEARS THE CWA.

FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE
EXTENDED WITH HIGHEST COVERAGE SUNDAY AND MONDAY VCNTY OF THE
FRONT. IF FRONT MOVES FAR ENOUGH SOUTH OF THE FCST AREA...MAY BE
ABLE TO TRIM POPS COMPLETELY FOR MID WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 215 AM EDT THURSDAY...

EXPECT ALL TAF SITES WILL EXPERIENCE VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTION FOR THE 05/06Z TAF PERIOD.

STILL WATCHING A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MAKE ITS WAY SOUTHWARD
ACROSS NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA THIS MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY IS
WEAKENING...AS INDICATED BY BOTH SHRINKING DOPPLER RADAR RETURNS
AND WARMING CLOUD TOPS FROM IR SATELLITE IMAGERY. SHOULD THIS
ACTIVITY MAKE IT INTO THE FORECAST AREA...AIRPORTS POTENTIALLY
IMPACTED WOULD BE LWB...ROA AND LYH...THOUGH DO NOT HAVE MUCH
CONFIDENCE IN THAT HAPPENING AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER...INCREASED
DEBRIS CLOUD COVER WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES WARMER THIS
EVENING...AND BELIEVE THIS WILL REALLY CUT DOWN ON THE CHANCES OF
ANY FOG FORMATION.

DOES NOT APPEAR THERE WILL BE MUCH CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN
OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS...WITH A LARGE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED OVER MISSOURI...WHILE A LEE SIDE TROUGH WILL REMAIN
SITUATED ALONG THE EASTERN FACE OF THE APPALACHIANS. EXPECT WE
WILL AGAIN SEE SPOTTY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DEVELOP DURING EARLY
AFTERNOON AS DAYTIME HEATING INCREASES...WITH THIS ACTIVITY FADING
AWAY AFTER SUNSET AS HEATING ENDS. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH DEBRIS
CLOUD COVER FROM THE WEST VIRGINIA STORMS REMAINS OVER OUR AREA
INTO LATE MORNING...WE MAY HAVE SLIGHTLY LESS HEATING AND
THEREFORE LESS CONVECTION TO DEAL WITH TODAY. REGARDLESS...A FEW
STORMS WILL BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE...PACKING LOCALLY STRONG WINDS
AND PERIODS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH WILL REDUCE
VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN A HALF MILE.

THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO THE
WEEKEND...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING WITH DAYTIME
HEATING...AND GRADUALLY DIMINISHING AFTER SUNSET AS HEATING ENDS.
THE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE PATCHES OF FOG DEVELOPING DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS...ESPECIALLY IN THE RIVER VALLEYS OF THE
MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS AREAS WHICH RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL
DURING THE PREVIOUS TWENTY FOUR HOUR PERIOD. A STRONGER MORE
IMPACTFUL SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT MAY ARRIVE MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT.
