AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
438 AM EDT SUN MAR 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THIS LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER
THE REGION MONDAY AND TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THROUGH THE
AREA ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 430 AM EDT SUNDAY...

AREA RADARS SHOWED CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ROTATING AROUND CLOSED UPPER LOW...THAT WAS JUST ENTERING SOUTH
CAROLINA. THE LOW WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TODAY WHICH WILL KEEP COLDER
TEMPERATURES ALOFT OVER THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
SOUTHERN COUNTY WARNING AREA.

SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME NORTH TO NORTHEAST THIS MORNING
THEN INCREASE FROM THE NORTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. NO DRIER AIR COMING IN WITH THIS FLOW BUT NORTHEAST
COMPONENT OF WINDS MAY LIMIT INSTABILITY IN THE NORTHERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA. STILL DEEP ENOUGH LAPSE RATES THAT HAIL IS
POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THE STRONGER STORMS AGAIN TODAY.

SIMILAR TO SATURDAY...COOLER TEMPERATURES WITH THE UPPER LOW ALONG
WITH THE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL HOLD BACK MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES.
HAVE GONE CLOSER TO COOLER MET GUIDANCE FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM EDT SUNDAY...

HEADING INTO THIS EVENING...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
DIMINISH SOMEWHAT QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET...AS DAYTIME HEATING ENDS AND
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW...WHICH HAS BEEN TRIGGERING THE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...CONTINUES TO MOVE
EAST...AWAY FROM OUR AREA. BY SUNRISE MONDAY MORNING...EXPECT THAT
THE ONLY SHOWER ACTIVITY LEFT IN THE AREA WILL BE FOUND IN SOUTHEAST
WEST VIRGINIA AND PORTIONS OF THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE.

COME LATER MONDAY MORNING HOWEVER...EXPECT TO SEE A SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE IN OUR WEATHER PATTERN AS A SHARP POLAR COLD FRONT MAKES ITS
WAY THROUGH OUR AREA. WHILE THIS FRONT WILL PASS WITHOUT TRIGGERING
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE COOLER AIR BUILDING
IN WITH IT FROM THE NORTH. MONDAY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
MILD...HOWEVER MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY MORNING TEMPERATURES WILL
BE THE COOLEST WE WILL HAVE SEEN IN ABOUT 2 OR 3 WEEKS. TEMPERATURES
NEAR FREEZING WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...AS
WELL AS PARTS OF THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE...THE NEW RIVER VALLEY AND THE
ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS. IN ADDITION...WITH LIGHT WINDS...CLEAR SKIES
AND MOIST SOIL CONDITIONS...BELIEVE THAT PATCHY FROST WILL BE
POSSIBLE FOR AREAS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...ESPECIALLY IN THE
VALLEYS. THOSE PEOPLE WITH VEGETATION SENSITIVE TO THE COLD OR TO
FROST SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE FORECAST THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING...AND CONSIDER MEASURES TO COVER OR OTHERWISE
PROTECT THEIR PLANTS ON MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON...THE DOME OF POLAR HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
SLIDE EAST...ALLOWING WINDS ACROSS OUR AREA TO VEER FROM
NORTHEASTERLY IN THE MORNING...TO SOUTHEASTERLY DURING THE EVENING.
THE SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW WILL ALLOW WARMER AIR TO MAKE ITS WAY
BACK INTO OUR AREA...AND WE CAN EXPECT A NOTICEABLE WARMUP IN TUESDAY
NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES...WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE
40S AREA WIDE. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...WINDS WILL BECOME
SOUTHWESTERLY AHEAD OF ANOTHER APPROACHING COLD FRONT...AND WE CAN
EXPECT A RETURN OF AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.
SHOWER AND SPOTTY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE DURING THE
AFTERNOON...AND WILL LINGER ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...WHEN THE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE
REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM EDT SUNDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BUT WITH NO REAL SURGE OF COOLER AIR TO GO
WITH IT. TEMPS SHOULD RECOVER BACK TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR LATE
MARCH...WHICH SHOULD ABOUT GUARANTEE THAT SOME CLIMATE SITES END UP
WITH THE WARMEST MARCH ON RECORD.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 205 AM EDT SUNDAY...

COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAD DIMINISHED WITH NO
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED AT LYH...ROA...BCB AND LWB THROUGH 12Z.
AREA RADAR SHOWED SCATTERED SHOWERS CLOSE TO BLF AND DAN BUT NOT
WITHIN THE VCNTY OF THOSE AIRPORTS.

VERY MOIST AIR MASS FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH MID LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE. EXPECT CEILINGS TO LOWER TO MVFR OR IFR VALUES
OVERNIGHT. MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR LIFR VISIBILITY DUE TO FOG AT
LYH BEFORE 12Z.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AS CEILINGS LIFT SUNDAY MORNING. SHRA
WILL DEVELOP AGAIN ACROSS THE AREA BY AFTERNOON...BUT WITH
CONSIDERABLE LESS INSTABILITY INDICATED AND A COLDER/MORE STABLE
SFC ENVIRONMENT...DO NOT ANTICIPATE AS MUCH TSRA ACTIVITY SUN.
PROBABILITY WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THIS
TIME.

DRIER WEATHER AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THIS WEATHER
SYSTEM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT A COLD FRONT
