AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
231 PM EDT FRI JUN 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION FROM THE
WEST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS
EVENING. DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT FOR THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY SLIDES IN FROM THE WEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 226 AM EDT FRIDAY...

QUICK UPDATE TO AFTERNOON GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR DISCREET SUPERCELLS
EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND LINE OF CONVECTION ENTER THE
MOUNTAINS.

TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 900 PM THIS EVENING.

AS OF 1226 AM EDT FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PIVOTING OVER THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY-TILTED
ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON. DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AND MODEST CAPE LIKELY TO PRODUCE A FEW DISCREET SUPERCELLS
MORPHING INTO BOW LINE SEGMENTS. THE SEVERITY AND AREAL COVERAGE
IS CONDITIONAL ON LINGERING CLOUDINESS. AT THIS TIME...BEST
HEATING AND INSTABILITIES WILL BE ACROSS THE RNK PIEDMONT OF
SOUTH-CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA. PWATS FROM
RNK/GSO 12Z SOUNDINGS ARE AROUND 1.50 INCHES. WITH DYNAMICS AND
FORCING...EFFICIENT CONVERSION OF THIS MOISTURE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CELLS/LINES WILL BE PROGRESSIVE ACROSS
THE AREA AND FLASH FLOOD THREAT SHOULD BE LOCALIZE AND NOT
WIDESPREAD.

AS OF 921 AM EDT FRIDAY...THICK CLOUD COVER AND SHOWERS THIS
MORNING LIMITING HEATING AND KEEPING INSTABILITIES ON THE MILD
SIDE. THERE IS A WAVE COMING ACROSS EASTERN TENNESSEE AND
SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA THIS MORNING. THIS WAVE WILL CREATE AN AREA
OF CLEARING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH THIS MORNING. THE WARM
FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE NORTH TO HELP WITH THIS CLEARING. THE
SEVERITY OF AFTERNOON STORMS ARE CONDITIONAL AT THE MOMENT WITH
MORNING CLOUDS AND RAIN. WE WILL SEE HOW THINGS PROGRESS AND KEEP
YOU UPDATED.

AS OF 300 AM EDT FRIDAY...FRONT DRAPED EAST-WEST ACROSS THE AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING COMBINED WITH OLD OUTFLOW TO THE WEST HAS
CONTINUED TO RESULT IN A BAND OF SHRA/TSRA ALONG THE WESTERN
SLOPES. EXPECT SOME OF THIS COVERAGE TO LINGER THRU DAYBREAK
BEFORE LIKELY SEEING A LULL AFTER SUNRISE AHEAD OF THE PRIMARY
WAVE/COLD FRONT WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. HAVE UPPED POPS TO HIGHER
CHANCES NW SLOPES TO REFLECT BETTER COVERAGE EARLY...AND LEFT IN
CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ELSW GIVEN MOISTURE AND THE WEAK
BOUNDARY AROUND FOR THE MORNING.

OTRW MAIN CONCERN WITH EXTENT OF CONVECTION TODAY AS THE NEG TILTED
5H TROF TO THE NW PIVOTS A SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO THE FAR WEST
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...REACHING THE PIEDMONT THIS EVENING. MODELS
AGAIN SHOW PLENTY OF SUPPORT/LIFT WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF SHEAR/HELICITY
ESPCLY NORTH PER 40 KT MID LEVEL JET...AND DECENT LOW LEVEL SW FLOW
AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. IN ADDITION...GOOD 85H THETA-E
PACKING UNDER A LOBE OF UPPER DIFFLUENCE SHOULD EVENTUALLY MAKE
FOR A ENHANCED LINEAR AXIS OF TSRA BY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER MAIN
QUESTION REMAINS WITH THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY GIVEN CURRENT
SHRA/TSRA ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH/WEST PLUS CLOUD COVER THAT MAY BE
TOUGH TO MIX OUT WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AS DEPICTED BY MOST
GUIDANCE ATTM. LATEST NAM ALSO HAS BEST CAPES ACROSS THE EASTERN
HALF LATER ON WITH SOME SUGGESTION OF A JUMP TO A SECONDARY LINE
EAST LATER IN THE DAY...WHERE APPEARS THE HIGHER SEVERE THREAT
WILL BE. MOST LOCAL MODELS ALSO SLIGHTLY FASTER WITH THE INITIAL
LINE DEVELOPING FAR WEST EARLY AFTERNOON UNDER THE VORT
LOBE...THEN REACHING THE BLUE RIDGE MID/LATE AFTERNOON...AND
ACROSS THE EAST EARLY IN THE EVENING. THUS SPED UP CAT POPS A BIT
WHILE ADJUSTING FOR MORE HEAVY RAIN THREAT FAR WEST AND ADDITION
OF SCTD CELLS DEVELOPING ELSW EARLY ON AHEAD OF THE MAIN PRE-
FRONTAL LIFT. THINK THINGS PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH DESPITE 1 INCH PLUS
TOTALS IN SPOTS TO PRECLUDE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED
FLOODING POSSIBLE WITH HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. THUS WILL MAINTAIN THE
SEVERE/FLOOD THREAT IN THE HWO. TEMPS A BIT TRICKY GIVEN SUCH A
WARM START WHILE BEING LIMITED BY CLOUDS/SHRA IN SPOTS EARLY ON.
THINK ENOUGH BREAKS LIKELY TO GO 80-85 EAST AND MID/UPPER 70S WEST
FOR NOW.

MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE SWEEPS OUT OF THE PIEDMONT BY MID EVENING WITH
THE FRONT TAKING ALL POPS OUT OF THE EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. DID SLOW
UP EXODUS A LITTLE SINCE APPEARS MAY SEE A WEAK SECONDARY WAVE ON
THE BOUNDARY OUT EAST THIS EVENING AS THE S/W TROF PIVOTS THRU. OTRW
DRYING FROM WEST TO EAST THRU MIDNIGHT AND ONLY SOME LIGHT UPSLOPE
-SHRA REMAINING NW LATE. SHOULD EVEN SEE SOME DOWNSLOPE CLEARING
BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT AS DRIER/COOLER AIR SURGES IN ESPCLY WEST
LATE. THIS ALONG WITH MUCH COOLER 85H TEMPS ESPCLY OFF THE GFS
SUGGESTS SOME LOWS IN THE 40S LIKELY WESTERN THIRD AND CLOSE TO 50
BLUE RIDGE...EXCEPT 52-58 OUT EAST AS THE BEST COOL ADVECTION LOOKS
TO GET HUNG UP CROSSING THE RIDGES FOR THE MOST PART.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 AM EDT FRIDAY...

COOLER AND DRIER AIR FINALLY MAKES A PROLONGED STAY ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM. ALTHOUGH TEMPS AGAIN WARM
NEAR 80F AGAIN BY MONDAY...DEWPOINTS WILL NOT RISE ENOUGH TO PREVENT
THE AIRMASS FROM REMAINING COMFORTABLE. AS A JET STREAK/UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS ON SATURDAY BEHIND THE
FRONT...THE AIRMASS IS TOO DRY TO SUPPORT ANY WIDESPREAD RAIN
CHANCES WITH DOWNSLOPING FLOW SMASHING ANY UPWARD MOTION EAST OF THE
ALLEGHANYS. HOWEVER...THE STRENGTH OF THE JUNE SUN COMBINED WITH
COOL TEMPS ALOFT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR COULD STILL PRODUCE SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF SE
WEST VA AND SW VA LATER SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING. MUCH OF THIS
MAY SIMPLY END UP BEING JUST SPRINKLES OUTSIDE OF SE WEST VA...THE
DARK CLOUDS PRODUCED BY THE STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL LOOK
PRETTY OMINOUS THOUGH. SATURDAY SHOULD BE THE COOLEST
DAY...REMAINING CLOUDS AND A BREEZE WILL PREVENT THE NIGHTS FROM
GETTING TOO CHILLY.

FAST PACIFIC FLOW GENERATED BY AN UPPER GYRE SOUTH OF ALASKA WILL
TRAVEL ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND BEGIN ERODING THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY
OF THE EASTERN COOL UPPER TROUGH BY SUNDAY. A MOSTLY DRY SUBTLE WARM
FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH OVER THE CWA THAT DAY...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH
AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE COULD PRODUCE PASSING SHOWERS ACROSS SE WEST VA
ONCE AGAIN SUNDAY. TEMPS MODERATE A FEW DEGREES. TOUGH TO FIND
ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO MENTION ANY THUNDER AT THIS POINT. AGAIN
MOISTURE WILL BE AT A PREMIUM...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TO
GENERATE CLOUDS.

THE GREAT LAKES UPPER LOW WILL MOVE TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY
MONDAY...AND AMPLIFY A BIT AS IT COMBINES WITH ANOTHER GYRE IN THE
NORTH ATLANTIC. WARMER AIR WILL BE ABLE TO FILL BACK EAST IN ITS
WAKE...SUCH THAT H85 TEMPS WILL FLIRT ONCE AGAIN WITH +15C. THE OP
GFS LOOKS A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE ON MONDAY WITH A SURFACE LOW MOVING
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. THE 0Z ECMWF LINES UP BETTER WITH THE UPPER
LEVEL CHARACTERISTICS...WITH A GOOD DEAL OF SINKING MOTION COMBINED
WITH DOWNSLOPING FLOW...THIS MAY KEEP ANY CHANCES OF STORMS SQUASHED
FOR ANOTHER DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM EDT FRIDAY...

THE CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL REMAIN OVERALL LOW THIS
PERIOD...WITH MODELS SHOWING MAIN FORCING STAYING NORTH OF US...AND
A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES STAYING SOUTHWEST OF THE REGION...WHICH COULD
BE MCS/S SHIFTING FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE GULF COAST STATES.
TEMPERATURES THIS PERIOD WILL BE DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER BUT SHOULD
BE AT OR BELOW NORMAL...AS SFC FLOW WILL BE MORE NORTH TO EAST. LOWS
IN THE 50S AND HIGHS IN THE 70S MOST DAYS. AS WE HEAD TOWARD
THURSDAY THE FLOW WILL BE MORE SOUTHEAST AND COULD SEE A BETTER
THREAT OF SHOWERS OR STORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS PER UPSLOPE
CONVERGENCE.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM EDT FRIDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE FLYING CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE FROM WEST TO EAST
THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA
BY THIS EVENING. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE LATER THIS MORNING
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...WITH SOME OF THIS
ACTIVITY STRENGTHENING INTO THUNDERSTORMS SHORTLY EARLY. CONSIDERING
THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE AREA...WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW STORMS BECOME SEVERE DURING THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE
OF REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN A MILE WITH A FEW HOURS OF
MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS LIKELY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
PERHAPS SEVERAL BANDS OF CONVECTION PASS. BY EARLY EVENING...THIS
COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO SOLIDIFY INTO A LINE...WITH THE MAIN AREA OF
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TRANSITIONING INTO THE PIEDMONT REGION BY MID
EVENING...REMAINING STRONG TO SEVERE AS THEY CONTINUE EAST. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL EXIT THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH CONDITIONS
QUICKLY IMPROVING TO VFR. HOWEVER LIGHT WEST/NW FLOW ACROSS THE
WESTERN SLOPES WILL LIKELY CAUSE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO BANK UP
AGAINST THE RIDGES CREATING IFR/MVFR IN LOW CIGS AND/OR VSBYS ESPCLY
AT KBLF AND PERHAPS KLWB LATE TONIGHT. SOME FOG ALSO POSSIBLE AT
KLYH WHERE INCLUDING A MVFR MENTION GIVEN WET GROUND AND LIGHTER
WINDS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRIER WEATHER AND MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER NW FLOW COULD KEEP MVFR CIGS AND
PERHAPS ISOLATED SHRA ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES SATURDAY AFTERNOON
WITH LESS CLOUDINESS ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE COULD BRING
MORE SUB-VFR CONDITIONS IN SHRA/TSRA ON MONDAY WITH VFR RETURNING
AGAIN FOR TUESDAY.
