AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
816 PM EDT FRI JUN 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BUILD EAST TOWARD THE
MID APPALACHIAN AND MID ATLANTIC REGION INTO THE WEEKEND
..BRINGING RECORD HEAT TO THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 810 PM EDT FRIDAY...

KEEPING AN EYE ON A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MOVING INTO OUR
WEST VIRGINIA COUNTIES THIS EVENING. GETTING MULTIPLE REPORTS OF
60 TO 80 MPH WIND GUSTS ALONG THE LINE...IN ADDITION TO VERY HEAVY
RAIN. LOOKS LIKE THIS LINE WILL PASS THOUGH OUR ENTIRE FORECAST
REGION. WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY ACROSS OUR AREA THANKS
TO RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES EARLIER TODAY...DO NOT EXPECT THIS
LINE TO WEAKEN MUCH UNTIL MUCH LATER IN THE EVENING.

AS OF 555 PM EDT FRIDAY...

SENT A QUICK UPDATE TO INCLUDE MORE POPS ACROSS THE NW AHEAD OF
THE APPROACHING FAST MOVING MCS THAT IS ALREADY NEARING THE OHIO
RIVER ATTM. SOME POTENTIAL FOR THIS SYSTEM TO AT LEAST MAKE IT
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AS IT DIVES MORE TO THE SOUTH/SE OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS SO POPS MAY NEED TO GO HIGHER SHORTLY. ALSO
INCLUDED STRONG WIND MENTION WHERE STORMS MAY IMPACT ESPCLY ACROSS
THE NW.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...

HEAT ADVISORIES CONTINUE UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING.
HEAT ADVISORIES AND EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS POSTED FOR
2 PM TO 8 PM EDT SATURDAY.

CHECK LATEST PNS AND RER REGARDING POSSIBLE RECORDS AND CLIMATE
INFO ON HEAT.

UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE EAST TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY RESULTING IN
RECORD WARMTH ACROSS OUR AREA. AN IMPRESSIVE MCS LOCATED ACROSS
INDIANA AND OHIO WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT. INCREASED POPS
FOR TONIGHT MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST. STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IF THUNDERSTORMS COMPLEX MAINTAINS
IT STRENGTH. THE MAIN THREAT IS STRONG WINDS AND HAIL. LEANED
TOWARDS WARMER NAM MOS AND LOCALLY DERIVED MOS FOR LOWS TONIGHT.
LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 60S IN THE COLDER MOUNTAIN VALLEYS
TO THE MID 70S IN THE SOUTHEAST. HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED COOLING THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE AGAIN THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS TO BE STRONG TO
SEVERE SATURDAY. HIGHS SATURDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 90S IN THE
MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 105 IN THE SOUTHEAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...

LONG STORY SHORT..NOT MUCH CHANGE EXPECTED. WHAT CAN FAIRLY BE
DESCRIBED AS INCREDIBLE HEAT DOME CONTINUES TO HOLD IN PLACE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CONUS THROUGH THE SHORT RANGE PERIOD. NEARLY
UNPRECEDENTED H85 TEMPS RANGE FROM 22C TO 26C THROUGH THE PERIOD
OFFERING NEXT TO NOTHING IN THE WAY OF COOLING. HEAT ADVISORY
CRITERIA (105F+) LOOKS FAIRLY CERTAIN ACROSS THE PIEDMONT ON
SUNDAY BUT ELECTED NOT TO PUT AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH OUT SINCE
ADVISORIES/WARNINGS ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR PARTS OF THE AREA TOMORROW.
MODELS ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH POSSIBLE MCS ACTIVITY IN THE
PREVAILING NORTHWEST FLOW. 12Z NAM12 BRINGS CLUSTER OF STORMS
SOUTHEAST ACRS THE CWA ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHILE 12Z GFS SHOWS ONE
12 HOURS EARLIER BUT THESE TYPE SYSTEMS ARE NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT
FOR MODELS TO HANDLE AND JUST LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE GRIDS
FOR NOW. OBVIOUSLY CLOUDS FROM ANY ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS COULD PLAY
HAVOC WITH HIGH TEMP FORECASTS. GENERALLY HAVE 100F+ TEMPS IN THE
PIEDMONT AND ROANOKE VALLEYS FOR HIGHS AND MID-90S ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS. NUMEROUS HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORDS COULD AGAIN BE
THREATENED. REFER TO PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT (WBCPNSRNK)
ISSUED EARLIER TODAY FOR DETAILS. WENT A LITTLE LOWER FOR HIGHS
ON MONDAY AS HEIGHT/THICKNESSES DROP SLIGHTLY BUT IT WILL REMAIN
VERY HOT AND THAT WOULD BE DAY 4 OF THIS HEAT WAVE. PROLONGED HEAT
EVEN AT MARGINALLY LOWER VALUES CAN PRESENT A PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...

EXTENDED PERIOD IS MORE (NOT OR LESS) A BROKEN RECORD AS THE HEAT IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. PRIMARY FORECAST QUESTIONS REVOLVE AROUND THE
POSITION AND AMPLITUDE OF THE UPPER RIDGE AND THE CHANCES FOR
RETROGRESSION TOWARD THE HIGH PLAINS OPENING THE POSSIBILITY FOR
FALLING HEIGHTS OVER THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE U.S TO BACK
DOWN INTO THE FORECAST AREA. H5 HEIGHTS REMAIN VERY HIGH GENERALLY
588-592 DM BUT MY MID- TO LATE WEEK COULD SEE SOME COOLING DUE TO
LOWERING HEIGHTS. BESIDES THE ONGOING HEAT THE OTHER FORECAST
ELEMENT OF CONCERN IS WITH THE PERISTENT CHANCE FOR NORTHWEST FLOW
MESOSCALE SYSTEMS. A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY LIKELY TO SET UP
SOMEWHERE IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION DURING THE MID-WEEK PERIOD
DIVIDING THE EXTREME HEAT OVER THE SOUTHWEST FROM THE SOMEWHAT
COOLER AIR OVER THE NORTHEAST. UPPER AIR DISTURBANCES ARE LIKELY
TO TRACK CLOSE TO THIS BOUNDARY ALTHOUGH THE EXACT TIMING ON SUCH
SYSTEMS AT THIS TIME RANGE WILL BE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. MAINTAINED
EITHER SLIGHT OR CHANCE POPS THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK TO ACCOUNT
FOR THIS POSSIBILITY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 740 PM EDT FRIDAY...

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE 30/00Z TAF PERIOD WILL BE THE MASSIVE
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MOVING ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA THIS
EVENING...WHICH WILL MAKE A DIRECT HIT ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS LINE
WILL ENTER THE LWB AND BLF AREA AROUND 30/00Z...AND THEN PASS
ALONG A BCB...ROA...LYH LINE AROUND 30/01Z TO 02Z TIMEFRAME...
BEFORE MOVING ON TO DAN IN THE 30/02Z TO 04Z TIME FRAME. HAVE
HEARD MULTIPLE REPORTS OF 60 AND 70 KT WIND GUSTS ALONG THIS
LINE...AND GIVEN THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY ACROSS OUR
AREA...DO NOT THINK WE WILL SEE THESE STRONG WINDS DIMINISH MUCH
BY THE TIME THEY PASS DAN. IN ADDITION TO STRONG WINDS...EXPECT
VERY HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE LINE...REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO LESS
THAN A HALF MILE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.

ONCE THE SYSTEM MOVES AWAY LATE THIS EVENING...SKIES WILL GRADUALLY
CLEAR. MAY SEE AREAS OF FOG DEVELOP DUE TO WET SOILS...WHERE
VISIBILITIES CAN FALL TO HALF MILE OR LESS. HAVE ENTERED THIS IN
FOR LWB...AND NOT QUITE AS LOW FOR BCB.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
WEEKEND...BUT SLOWLY WEAKEN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWING FOR
MOISTURE TO INCREASE ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF BRIEF SUB-VFR IN
SCATTERED CONVECTION SATURDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
