Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 4:03 PM EDT, 2 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
403 PM EDT SAT JUN 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION
INTO SUNDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DIP SOUTH INTO THE AREA LATER
SUNDAY BEFORE STALLING INTO MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM EDT SATURDAY...

HEAT NOT QUITE AS EXCESSIVE THIS AFTERNOON AS READINGS AND DEWPOINTS
HAVE BEEN KNOCKED BACK A BIT IN THE WAKE OF THE MCS FROM LAST NIGHT.
HOWEVER GIVEN STILL SOME HEATING TO GO AND LOTS OF HEAT RELATED
ISSUES...PLAN TO KEEP THE GOING HEADLINES BASICALLY STATUS QUO INTO
EARLY THIS EVENING. OTRW MAIN CONCERN WITH CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AGAIN
AND WHETHER OR NOT WILL SEE ANOTHER COMPLEX AFFECT AT LEAST PART OF
THE REGION THRU TONIGHT. EARLIER ANALYSIS DID SHOW THE RIDGE A BIT
STRONGER ACROSS THE REGION WITH CAPPING AND DRIER AIR ALOFT WHILE
THE CORRIDOR OF DEEPER RH/WAVES A BIT FARTHER NORTH ATTM. THIS
SHOULD HELP TO KEEP ANY TSRA RATHER ISOLATED EARLY ON BEFORE THE
TRAILING AXIS OF MOISTURE STARTS TO SINK SOUTH AGAIN BEHIND THE NEXT
IMPULSE PASSING TO THE NE LATER ON. THIS MAY FIRE A FEW STORM
CLUSTERS...ESPCLY NORTH AND EAST THIS EVENING BEFORE SEEING A BREAK
AHEAD OF THE NEXT S/W THAT IS CURRENTLY BACK OVER IL. MODELS GRAB
THIS FEATURE AND SLIDE INTO TOWARD THE WESTERN SLOPES AROUND
DAYBREAK SUNDAY THEN FIZZLE IT AS IT ENCOUNTERS A STRONGER
DOWNSLOPED ENVIRONMENT THAT MAY LIMIT ADDED DEVELOPMENT UNTIL LATE
IN THE DAY AS MIXING DIMINISHES. THEREFORE INCLUDED A BIT HIGHER
CHANCE OF TSRA EAST-NE THIS EVENING AND...OVER THE NW LATE
TONIGHT...THEN MAINLY ISOLATED COVERAGE SUNDAY PENDING LATER
ORGANIZATION.

EXPECT LOW TEMPS TO BE ABLE TO FALL INTO THE 60S ACROSS THE VALLEYS
OVERNIGHT WITH MAINLY LOW/MID 70S ELSW. HIGHS AGAIN CLOSE TO 100
BLUE RIDGE EAST SUNDAY AS 85H TEMPS WARM A LITTLE AND NW DOWNSLOPE
GIVES A BOOST. ALSO A FEW MORE RECORDS LIKELY TO FALL PER CLIMATE
SECTION BELOW WHILE HEAT CRITERIA A BIT MORE IFFY AS LOW LEVEL
DRYING TAKES PLACE. SINCE LOOKING AT MARGINAL CRITERIA FOR ONLY A
FEW HOURS PLAN TO ONLY INCLUDE A FEW SE CTYS IN ANOTHER ADVISORY FOR
SUNDAY FOR NOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
AS OF 345 PM EDT SATURDAY...

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL
PLAINS WILL REMAIN THE MAIN FEATURE IN OUR WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE
EARLY PART OF THE WEEK...WHICH WILL KEEP OUR TEMPERATURES VERY MUCH
ON THE WARM SIDE. THAT STATED...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH
FROM NEW ENGLAND ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY ON MONDAY AFTERNOON...
BRINGING AN INCREASED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
AREA. AT THE VERY LEAST...THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER WILL HELP TAKE
THE EDGE OFF OF THE EXCESSIVELY HIGH TEMPERATURES BY A FEW
DEGREES...AND WILL BE LOOKING FOR TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN BELOW 100
ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS...ALTHOUGH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S ACROSS
THE EAST WILL STILL BE COMMON.

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WEAKENS SOMEWHAT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AND
WE CAN EXPECT TO TRANSITION TO A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A TYPICAL
SUMMERTIME WEATHER PATTERN...WITH SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING MAINLY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON...
AND DIMINISHING IN COVERAGE DURING THE LATE EVENING. HIGHS WILL
REMAIN ON THE WARM SIDE...WITH MID 80S TO AROUND 90 EXPECTED ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS...AND LOW TO MID 90S EXPECTED ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT SATURDAY...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL STAY IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END
OF THE COMING WORKWEEK AS A COLD FRONT DRIFTS SLOWLY SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY ON THURSDAY...AND EVENTUALLY THROUGH
OUR AREA ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. BY THE TIME THE FRONT MAKES IT
THROUGH OUR AREA...IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL BE WEAKENED TO THE POINT
WHERE THERE IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURES ON EITHER SIDE OF
THE BOUNDARY...AND WE CAN STILL EXPECT MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS MOST
OF THE MOUNTAINS...AND LOWER 90S ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS FOR FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY HIGHS. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE DOES BUILD INTO OUR AREA BEHIND
THE FRONT HOWEVER...AND WE CAN EXPECT LOWER RAIN CHANCES FOR FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 750 AM EDT SATURDAY...

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH A LARGE BULK OF THE TAF PERIOD
ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE A PERIOD OF
SCATTERED CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSING THE OH VALLEY INTO SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THIS SYSTEM INTERACTING WITH THE MARGINALLY MOIST BUT
VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL TRIGGER SCATTERED STRONG CONVECTION
ACROSS THE NORTH LATER TODAY...AND PERHAPS INTO THE VA PIEDMONT
INCLUDING THE DANVILLE VICINITY BY THIS EVENING. TIMING BASED ON
ACTIVITY CURRENTLY CROSSING IN/WESTERN OH. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM AS BULK OF IT MAY SLIDE TO OUR
NORTH. IF THIS OCCURS...OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVECTION
SHOULD MOVE SEWD BUT MAY NOT REACH KLWB AND KBLF TO INITIATE
CONVECTION UNTIL AFTER 21Z.

WHILE STRONG CONVECTION ANTICIPATED...DO NOT EXPECT A REPEAT OF THE
SEVERE CONVECTION THAT RAKED THE REGION FRIDAY EVENING-FRIDAY NIGHT.

EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY THOUGH WILL
LIKELY SEE MORE AREAS OF MVFR/IFR VISIBILITY DUE TO FOG EARLY EACH
MORNING FROM MONDAY ONWARD...ESPECIALLY AT KLWB AND KBLF.
ALSO...EXPECT TO SEE AN UPTICK IN AFTERNOON CONVECTION AND
ASSOCIATED SUB-VFR CONDITIONS AS THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM GRADUALLY WEAKENS AND DRIFTS WESTWARD TOWARD THE LOWER-MID MS
VALLEY. MAY SEE A FEW STRONG-SEVERE STORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON-EVENING
WITH THE PASSAGE OF AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE.  TERRAIN-INDUCED
AFTERNOON CONVECTION CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED MONDAY-WEDNESDAY.
