AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
135 AM EST FRI JAN 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING. ANOTHER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM COMING OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE
GREAT LAKES WILL BRING A SECOND COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA ON
SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES
SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 116 AM EST FRIDAY...

HAVE TWO MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN. SHOWERS MOVING ALONG THE BLUE
RIDGE ARE BRINGING THE STRONG 8H WINDS DOWN WITH GUSTS OVER 45 MPH
BEING REPORTED WITH SOME OF THE SHOWERS. CONTEMPLATED A WIND
ADVISORY BUT THE TIMING OF THE WINDS WILL BE MAINLY LESS THAN AN
HOUR OR TWO WITH SHOWERS...SO OPTED TO GO WITH SPECIAL WX
STATEMENTS TO COVER THE STRONGER GUSTS. ONE THING OF NOTE IS THE
DEEP CONVECTION IN THE NE GULF OF MEXICO WHICH IS ROBBING THE
MOISTURE INFLOW INTO OUR AREA...WHICH WILL CUT DOWN ON QPF SOME.

WITH THE COLD FRONT/SFC LOW IS ANOTHER STRONGER LINE OF CONVECTION
FORMING AND HAVE AN SPS COVERING THIS AND WILL BE MONITORED FOR
POTENTIAL WARNINGS. THE LATEST RUC SHOWS TWO SPEED MAXES AT
8H...ONE MOVING ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE AND THE OTHER UP INTO
WV. THIS LOW LVL JET WILL BE EAST OF THE MTNS BEFORE DAWN IN
ADDITION TO THE COLD FRONT. KEPT HIGHEST POPS ALONG AND WEST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE EARLY THEN TRANSITION TO THE EAST THROUGH DAWN. DRY
SLOT ON WV LOOP WORKING INTO THE SMOKYS WILL SURGE INTO OUR MTNS
BY 12Z TODAY AND NAM/CMC SHOWING CLEARING BUT GFS HOLDING ONTO
MORE CLOUDS. LOOKING AT IR SAT...THE CLEARING LINE IS LAGGING BACK
INTO NRN MS/WRN TN.

ON FRIDAY...ONCE THE FRONT GOES THROUGH MODELS WERE SHOWING RAPID
DRYING...PARTLY DUE TO STRONG DOWNSLOPING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
HOWEVER THE SAME STRONG NORTHWEST SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL WIND WILL
HOLD CLOUDS IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR MUCH OF THE MORNING. HAVE ENDED
SHOWERS A BIT FASTER IN THE EAST AND DIMINISHED THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION IN THE WEST BY THE END OF THE DAY.

MODELS WERE SHOWING +8 TO +10 MB/3HR PRESSURE RISES AND MODEST COLD
AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT ON FRIDAY MORNING. ONCE MIXING BEGINS
EXPECT GUSTY WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MID AFTERNOON. NO
ADVISORY PLANNED AT THIS TIME. PEAK GUSTS LOOK TO BE JUST UNDER 45
MPH.

FOR LOWS TONIGHT...SINCE THE SURFACE DEW POINTS CONTINUE TO
RISE...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH OF A FALL IN TEMPERATURES. WILL GO ABOVE
GUIDANCE FOR MINIMUM TEMPERATURE. 850 MB TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE
FRONT DROP IN THE MORNING...SO HOURLY TEMPERATURE TREND WILL
MOSTLY LIKELY BE NON DIURNAL ON FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EST THURSDAY...

TWO FAST MOVING CLIPPERS WILL THROW CLOUDS AND COLDER WEATHER OUR
WAY FOR SUNDAY. SOME RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES/FLURRIES
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH BOTH OF THESE...BUT MORE SO WITH THE SECOND
CLIPPER PASSING THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WHICH MAY TAKE A MORE
SOUTHERLY TRACK WITH COLDER AIR IN PLACE. DECENT WIND GUSTS WITH
EVAP COOLING WILL ACCOMPANY ANY VIRGA WHICH CROSSES THE RIDGES. THE
DOWNSLOPE WARMING WILL CREATE STEEP LAPSE RATES...NEARLY DRY
ADIABATIC AND DEEP MIXING TO H7 AS SHOWN ON NAM/GFS BUFKIT PROFILES.
MOMENTUM TRANSFER AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER IS 60 KTS IN THE NEW
RIVER VALLEY NEAR 7P SUNDAY...AND THE NAM IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT
WEAKER. THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE OP GFS IS THE MOST AMPLIFIED
SOLUTION. NONETHELESS...CAN'T RULE OUT ADVISORY GUSTS WITH THIS
INVERTED V PROFILE ATOP THE RIDGES OF THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA.
A QUICK BURST OF SNOW SHOWERS SUNDAY NIGHT COULD PUT DOWN A QUICK
COATING OF SNOW IN WESTERN GREENBRIER COUNTY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EST THURSDAY...

WILL BE LOOKING AT A SERIES OF WEAK COLD FRONTS PASSING ACROSS OUR
AREA DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD...BUT DO NOT EXPECT ANY HIGH WEATHER
IMPACTS TO OUR AREA THROUGH THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF FEBRUARY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS OUR AREA ON MONDAY IN THE WAKE OF A
DEPARTING COLD FRONT...AND WE CAN EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND
LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS. BECAUSE THE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
IS MORE PACIFIC IN ORIGIN RATHER THAN CANADIAN...WE CAN EXPECT THE
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE ACROSS OUR AREA...WITH OVERNIGHT
LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S...AND MONDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S IN THE MOUNTAINS...TO THE MID TO UPPER
40S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT REGION.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS EAST OF OUR AREA ON MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY...ALLOWING OUR WINDS TO BECOME SOUTHERLY AND FOR
TEMPERATURES TO ENTER A WARMING TREND. EXPECT THAT WE WILL START OUT
THE DAY WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...BUT THAT CLOUDS WILL INCREASE
DURING THE EVENING AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO OUR SOUTHEAST WEST
VIRGINIA AND MOUNTAIN EMPIRE REGION COUNTIES.

THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH OUR AREA ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. WITH LIMITED MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...THIS COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO TRIGGER ONLY SPOTTY LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN QUICKLY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND
PASSES JUST AS QUICKLY TO THE EAST OF OUR AREA BY THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1115 PM EST THURSDAY...
A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO APPROACH THE REGION FROM EASTERN
KENTUCKY. IN ADVANCE OF IN SOUTHERLY FLOW SOUTH OF A WARM FRONT IS
INCREASING. SHOWERS ARE NUMEROUS ALONG A LINE FROM KUKF TO
KHSP...INCLUDING TAF SITES KBCB AND KROA. EXPECTING COVERAGE TO
CONTINUE TO BE GOOD IN THIS REGION HEADING INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS OF FRIDAY...ALL WHILE THE PRECIPITATION MAKES PROGRESSION
EASTWARD AS WELL. THERE MAY BE AN HOUR OR TWO GAP BETWEEN THIS
PRE-FRONTAL PRECIPITATION AND LOCALLY HEAVIER PRECIPIATION THAT
ARRIVES WHEN THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH BETWEEN 10Z...5AM WEST....AND
14Z...9AM EAST. MOST AREA WILL TREND TO IFR/MVFR CIGS AND THEN
IMRPOVE BEHIND THE FRONT...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST WHERE WINDS
WILL HAVE A STRONG DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT.

AS OF 640 PM EST THURSDAY...

CONVECTION AND MVFR CIGS HAVE BEEN SLOWER TO FILL IN THAN
PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED. AS SUCH...HAVE SLOWED ONSET OF PREVAILING
PRECIPITION AND LOWER CIG THRESHOLDS BY ROUGHLY TWO HOURS ACROSS
THE BOARD. OTHER ASPECTS OF EARLIER FORECAST STILL RELATIVELY ON
TRACK SAVE THE ONSET OF LLWS. THIS TOO HAS BEEN DELAYED BY AROUND
TWO HOURS AT MOST LOCATIONS.

AS OF 108 PM EST THURSDAY...

THERE WILL BE SCATTERED TO ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH
VERY GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH THE BAND OF SHOWERS. LOW CONFIDENCE
THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL TAF SITE WILL GET A THUNDERSTORM. THE MOST
LIKELY LOCATION WOULD BE DAN SO HAVE ADDED CB CLOUD TYPE IN LATE
TONIGHT.

BOTTOM OF THE 55-65 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET JUST REACHES THE 2000 FOOT
CRITERIA FOR LLWS SO HAVE INCLUDED IN THE TAFS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT. ONCE MIXING BEGINS IN THE MORNING
BEHIND THE FRONT GUSTS MAY REACH 30 KNOTS DUE TO STRONG PRESSURE
RISES AND MODEST COLD AIR ADVECTION.

THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS CLEAR OUT THE CLOUDS BEHIND THE FRONT
FRIDAY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. UPSLOPE CLOUDINESS WILL LINGER IN
SE WV...WITH MVFR CIGS MUCH OF FRIDAY.

COULD SEE SOME MVFR CEILINGS ACROSS THE WV TAF SITES SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A CLIPPER MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. OTHERWISE
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL BE VFR.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WINDS WILL GUST BEHIND THE FRONT ON FRIDAY WITH GOOD DRYING EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

THERE MAY BE SOME RED FLAG CRITERIA RH AND WIND SUNDAY...HOWEVER THE
GROUND WILL PROBABLY BE STILL TOO MOIST AND FUEL STICK MOISTURES
PROBABLY WILL NOT MAKE CRITERIA. WILL MENTION IN THE FWF DISCUSSION.

&&

.RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
