AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
638 PM EDT TUE MAY 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT...AND
THEN TO THE COAST BY LATE WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH SOME POTENTIALLY BRINGING HEAVY RAIN...WILL
BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER WEATHER WILL
ARRIVE LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

AS OF 630 PM EDT TUESDAY...

MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS AND TEMPERATURES ACCORDING TO LATEST RADAR
TRENDS AND OBSERVATIONS.

AS OF 330 PM EDT TUESDAY...

MAIN THREAT CONTINUES WITH SLOW MOVING CONVECTION INTO THIS EVENING
AS STORMS DEVELOP ALONG THE RIDGES AND THEN ONLY SLOWLY PROPAGATE
N/NE IN CLUSTERS. APPEARS HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE
FAR WEST EARLY ON BUT LIKELY DEVELOP EAST VIA OUTFLOW INTO BETTER
INSTABILITY WHICH REMAINS ALIGNED ACROSS THE CENTRAL CWA. HOWEVER
THIS REGION WAS WORKED OVER TO SOME DEGREE SINCE YDA SO BETTER
COVERAGE MAY END UP ACROSS THE SE THIS EVENING. SEVERE THREAT LOOKS
TO BE MORE OF THE PULSE/MICROBURST TYPE AS SUGGESTED BY HIGH WINDEX
VALUES BUT LIMITED BY THE CAP ALOFT OFF SOUNDINGS. THEREFORE WILL
KEEP LIKELY/CAT POPS GOING MOUNTAINS WHERE THE FLOOD WATCH WILL BE
MAINTAINED FOR NOW UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND EDGE SOME HIGHER LIKELY POPS
OUT TO THE SE WHERE COVERAGE MAY EVENTUALLY DEVELOPING IN FROM THE
SOUTH BY THIS EVENING. OTRW WILL SLOWLY DECREASE COVERAGE LATER THIS
EVENING GIVEN LOSS OF HEATING BUT CONTINUE SOME POPS OVERNIGHT WITH
THE UPPER LOW JUST SOUTH AND THE OLD FRONT LINGERING ALONG THE BLUE
RIDGE. MOIST CONDITIONS WITH SOME BREAKS SHOULD AGAIN LEAD TO
PATCHY/AREAS OF FOG SO INCLUDED LATE. LOWS AGAIN SIMILAR TO THE LAST
COUPLE OF NIGHTS...MAINLY 55-62.

UPPER LOW AND THE ASSOCIATED 5H COLD POOL WILL PASS JUST SE OF THE
AREA ON WED WHILE ENHANCING THE LOW LEVEL SE FLOW INTO JUICY MOISTURE
ALREADY IN PLACE. MODELS HOWEVER DIFFER ON PLACEMENT OF BEST LIFT
WITH SOME FOCUSED ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AND OTHERS IN MORE OF A
BANDED NATURE ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST AROUND THE UPPER LOW. ALSO
CONCERN ABOUT SEEING MORE CLOUDS LINGER LONGER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF
THE UPPER SYSTEM SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR SW TODAY PER THE
LATEST COOLER NAM. SINCE THE GFS/LOCAL WRF APPEAR BEST WITH MORE OF
A CONVEYOR BELT A BIT FARTHER NORTH AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE OUT
WEST WILL FOLLOW CLOSER TO THESE SOLUTIONS AT THIS POINT. THIS WOULD
SUGGEST MORE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL NORTH HALF AS STEERING ALOFT STILL
WEAK AND LOWER POPS SOUTH/SW IN AN AREA OF LESS UPPER DIFFLUENCE
NEARER THE UPPER LOW. DEGREE OF HEATING/INSTABILITY WILL ULTIMATELY
DRIVE THE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE BUT MAY AGAIN NEED ANOTHER WATCH BLUE
RIDGE/NORTH WHERE MORE TRAINING BANDS APPEAR POSSIBLE. SINCE NOT AS
CLEAR CUT AS TODAY AND GUIDANCE SHOWING LESS POP/QPF WILL KEEP
LIKELY TO CHANCE POPS GOING AND MENTION HEAVY RAIN AGAIN IN THE HWO.
MOS TEMPS AGAIN SHOWING QUITE A SPREAD FOR HIGHS AND BASICALLY GOING
WITH A COMP PENDING AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE WHICH IF MORE COULD PUSH THE
EAST ABOVE 80...OTRW MAINLY 70S ELSW FOR NOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM EST TUESDAY...

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH GRADUALLY WEDNESDAY
EVENING AS DAYTIME HEATING ENDS...BUT EXPECT ISOLATED SHOWER
ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF THURSDAY AS
THE UPPER LEVEL CUTOFF LOW REMAINS PARKED OVER OUR REGION. CONTINUED
SOUTHERLY FLOW...AS WELL AS DEBRIS CLOUD COVER...WILL HELP KEEP OUR
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES ON THE MILD SIDE...WITH UPPER 50S EXPECTED
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND LOW 60S ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS.

THE WEATHER PATTERN DOES NOT CHANGE MUCH FOR THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH THE
UPPER LOW BEGINS TO GRADUALLY OPEN UP DURING THE MORNING AND SHIFT
NORTHEAST. REGARDLESS...WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP BY LATE MORNING...WITH GREATER CHANCES
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. UPPER LEVEL WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT ACROSS OUR
AREA...WHICH WILL RESULT IN VERY SLOW MOVING STORMS...CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING PROLONGED PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. A FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY
PULSE UP TO SEVERE INTENSITY FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF TIME...PRODUCING
LARGE HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS...BEFORE QUICKLY WEAKENING AGAIN.

FOR FRIDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SLIDE NORTHEAST OF OUR
AREA...AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO EDGE
NORTH FROM THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION. AS SUCH...WILL STILL SEE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT DO NOT
EXPECT THEM TO BE AS WIDESPREAD ACROSS OUR AREA. AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE A LITTLE WARMER AS THE UPPER RIDGE DRAWS
NEAR...WITH HIGHS REACHING INTO THE UPPER 70S WEST TO THE MID 80S
EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT TUESDAY...

LOOKING INTO SATURDAY...WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDELY SCATTERED
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...AS A WEAK COLD FRONT SINKS SOUTHWARD FROM THE GREAT
LAKES...BEFORE STALLING OUT ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY...AND
EVENTUALLY LIFTING BACK TO THE NORTH. ANY SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH QUICKLY WITH SUNSET AND THE END OF DAYTIME
HEATING.

THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE OVER OUR
WEATHER PATTERN...RESULTING IN VERY SUMMER LIKE TEMPERATURES. WE CAN
EXPECT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S AND LOW
80S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...TO THE MID 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES ACROSS
THE PIEDMONTS. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SITUATED ALONG THE OHIO
RIVER VALLEY INTO OUR AREA...TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL REMAIN WARM
ENOUGH TO KEEP AFTERNOON SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ISOLATED
ACROSS OUR AREA.

BEGINNING TUESDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN...AND
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS
OUR AREA AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. WITH THE
INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND SHOWER ACTIVITY...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES
WILL BE COOLER...AND MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1245 PM EDT TUESDAY...

MVFR CIGS ACROSS THE WEST FINALLY STARTING TO MIX OUT WITH
HEATING...OTRW WILL CONTINUE VFR TRENDS OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION
INTO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT TSRA FORMING ON THE
RIDGES...MAINLY OUTSIDE OF THE TAF SITES...BUT CLOSE ENOUGH
PROXIMITY TO INCLUDE A VCTS AT KROA AND KLWB TO INIT. ELSW DELAYED
COVERAGE A BIT BUT APPEARS AREAS ALONG/WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WILL
START TO FILL IN WITH SHRA/TSRA GIVEN ADDED HEATING/OUTFLOW SO
INCLUDING AT LEAST A VCSH OR VCTS MENTION MOST LOCATIONS FROM MID
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. TSRA WILL AGAIN BE SLOW MOVING
WITH POTENTIAL FOR ANY LOCATION TO QUICKLY LOWER TO IFR IN HEAVY
RAINFALL AND LOWER CIGS. WINDS WILL REMAIN MOSTLY LIGHT AND VRBL
BUT COULD GUSTS TO ABOVE 30-40 MPH NEAR ANY OF THE STORMS.

WILL STILL SEE SOME COVERAGE OF CONVECTION HEADING INTO THE
EVENING BUT SHOULD BE LESS...SO ONLY EXTENDED END TIME OUT AN HOUR
OR TWO TO COVER POTENTIAL UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. AGAIN WILL
BE A NIGHT SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT WHERE CIGS/VSBYS COULD FLUCTUATE
BETWEEN LIFR TO VFR AT TIMES...SO WENT TOWARD MIDDLE ROUTE OF
IFR...MAINLY WITH FOG INSTEAD OF LOWER CIGS. ANY LOCATION THAT
DOES SEE HEAVY RAIN COULD DROP INTO LIFR AFTER MIDNIGHT AND NOT
SEE MUCH IMPROVEMENT UNTIL MID MORNING WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY WILL BE A REPEAT OF TODAY WITH MOST COVERAGE OF STORMS
SHIFTING NORTH OF A LINE FROM BLF-LYH. MAINLY VFR AFTER MORNING
FOG/LOWER CLOUDS EXCEPT IN HEAVIER TSRA.

LOOKING AT THE PATTERN SHIFTING TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK...AND
UNTIL FRIDAY SHOULD SEE NIGHTTIME THREAT OF LOWER CIGS/FOG AND
DAYTIME THUNDER. BY FRIDAY WILL SEE HIGH PRESSURE WORKING IN TO
BRING VFR WX...AND TEMPERATURES HEAT UP. NIGHLTY FOG IN THE
VALLEYS BCB/LWB A GOOD POSSIBILITY GIVEN THE GROUND SHOULD BE
MOIST...WITH LITTLE WIND.
