Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 4:39 PM EDT, 1 hour 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 439 PM EDT FRI JUN 22 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL THEN SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN TO THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES ON MONDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 435 PM EDT FRIDAY... PRE-FRONTAL BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS OVER THE PIEDMONT. BEST INSTABILITY WAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE TROF. THE COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO CENTRAL TENNESSEE. THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA THIS EVENING WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT. THE STORMS ALONG THE FRONT WILL WEAKEN AFTER SUNSET BUT MAY NOT BE ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE EASTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT. STAYED CLOSE TO MET/MAV GUIDANCE FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS AND HIGHS ON SATURDAY. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 225 PM EDT FRIDAY... HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT. AS IT DOES...WE EXPECT LOW LEVEL FLOW TO TAKE ON MORE OF A SOUTHEAST ORIENTATION. THIS WILL HELP BRING SOME MOISTURE BACK INTO THE REGION AND HAVE AN UPSLOPE TRAJECTORY ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. WE ARE EXPECTING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP AS EARLY AS SUNRISE SUNDAY ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA AND NEIGHBORING SECTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. BY THE AFTERNOON...SCATTERED COVERAGE IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION...WITH THE BEST COVERAGE ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. BY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO VEER SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WE ANTICIPATE A NARROW WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR NO OR VERY LITTLE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS TIME OF TRANSITION. BY MONDAY MORNING...SHOWERS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. BY NOON...SCATTERED STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE REGION. BY THE LATE AFTERNOON...THE FOCUS FOR THE GREATEST COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 1133 AM EDT FRIDAY... EARLY MONDAY NIGHT...THE BACK EDGE OF PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION. ANTICIPATE THE PRECIPITATION TO END BY MIDNIGHT. BEHIND THE FRONT...COOLER...DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION AND BE CENTERED OVERHEAD BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES BOTH OF THESE DAYS WILL AVERAGE AROUND TEN DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...WITH LOWS AROUND NORMAL. BY THURSDAY...AND ESPECIALLY BY FRIDAY...THE CENTER OF THE HIGH WILL BE TO OUR EAST. ALOFT...THE SYNOPTIC FLOW WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL...AND 850 MB FLOW WILL ADVECT TEMPERATURES AROUND THE LOW 20S C INTO THE AREA. THIS WILL PROMOTE A WARMING TREND...AND A WEAK DISTURBANCE WITHIN THE ZONAL FLOW WILL HELP BRING A RETURN OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY. BY FRIDAY...HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S ARE EXPECTED EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WITH UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES IN THE MOUNTAINS. && .AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 635 AM EDT FRIDAY... SCATTERED CONVECTION CONTINUES OVER THE NW ATTM WITH MORE ISOLATED NATURE COVERAGE ELSW OVER THE MOUNTAINS. EXPECT SOME OF THIS TO LINGER INTO MID MORNING WITH SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLY AFFECTING KLWB/KBLF FOR THE MOST PART WHERE BRIEF MVFR/IFR IN RAIN POSSIBLE. OTRW STILL LOOKING FOR A GRADUAL EROSION OF THE CURRENT MID/LOW CLOUDS WITH THIS CANOPY MIXING OUT TO A BKN CU FIELD OVER THE MOUNTAINS BY MIDDAY...AND SCTD-BKN CU OUT EAST. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF VFR WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THIS MORNING ONCE PATCHY MVFR/IFR FOG FADES AND MAINLY VFR OUT EAST THRU EARLY OR MID AFTERNOON. STILL A BIT UNCERTAIN AS TO TIMING AND EXACT LOCATION OF RENEWED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NW. MOST LATEST GUIDANCE TRENDING TOWARD ADDED SCTD COVERAGE ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE WITH A SECONDARY AREA AFFECTING THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS EARLY ON BEFORE THE MAJORITY OF THE SHRA/TSRA JUMP TOWARD KDAN/KLYH AND POINTS EAST LATE. THEREFORE KEPT SHRA IN THE TAF WITH VCTS AT ALL SITES BY EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN DIMINISHING TO MORE SHRA NATURE BEHIND THE FRONT BY THIS EVENING. EXPECT MOST RAINFALL TO TAPER DURING THE EVENING...WITH MVFR FOG FORMATION LIKELY AFTER SUNSET GIVEN MOISTURE AROUND AND CLEARING SKIES. HOWEVER WESTERLY WINDS WILL LIKELY CAUSE LOW CLOUDS TO BANK UP AGAINST THE WESTERN SLOPES RESULTING IN MVFR CONDITIONS AT KBLF AND/OR IFR IN FOG/LOW CLOUDS AT KLWB LATE TONIGHT AS WELL. ELSW THINKING MAINLY VFR AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH A RETURN OF MVFR IN FOG ACROSS THE EAST BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.
