AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
251 PM EDT WED JUL 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE COVERED THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. A COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THIS
WEEKEND THE FRONT REMAINS TO OUR SOUTH.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 105 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING SLOW MOVING STORMS WILL CONTINUE THRU EARLY
EVENING ACROSS THE AREA BUT ESPECIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. COVERAGE WILL BE GREATEST IN SE WV TO NW NC MTNS.

AS FOR THE HEAT THIS AFTERNOON WILL SEE HEAT ADVY FOR AN HOUR OR TWO
OVER BUCKINGHAM BUT BLOWOFF FROM STORMS TO THE WEST MAY EVENTUALLY
REACH THEM AFTER 5 PM TO COOL THEM OFF SOME. WILL LEAVE ADVY AS IS
FOR NOW.

TONIGHT...WITH LOSS OF HEATING EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO WEAKEN AND
COVERAGE TO LESSEN. ATTM...MODELS SHOWING THIS BUT THINK HIGH
HUMIDITY AIRMASS WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AROUND ACROSS THE
WRN AND NERN FRINGES AFTER MIDNIGHT CLOSER TO AREAS OF UPPER SUPPORT.

MUGGY OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S WEST TO LOWER TO
MID 70S EAST.

THU...FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAKES IT TO ABOUT THE NRN WV TO NRN VA AREA.
SUPPORT IN THE UPPER LEVELS WITH FRONTAL CONVERGENCE FAVORS MOST
AREAS SEEING LIKELY POPS AFTER MIDDAY. MADE SOME DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT
ON HIGHS AS THINK THE COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL BE SUCH TO KEEP TEMPS
DOWN PER RAIN AND/OR CLOUD COVER...WHICH IS CLOSE TO MET MOS.

STILL LOOKING AT AMPLE MOISTURE FOR HIGH RAINFALL RATES...SO ADDED
HEAVY RAIN TO THE GRIDS TOMORROW...BUT WILL WAIT ON ANY FLASH FLOOD
WATCHES. THERE COULD BE SOME SVR STORMS TOMORROW WITH DOWNBURSTS THE
MAIN THREAT...IF WE GET ENOUGH HEATING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 224 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

A SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL RETREAT NORTH AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH
PIVOTS EAST FROM THE OHIO AND TENN VALLEYS. THIS WILL KEEP THE AREA
IN A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY. WITH THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED NEAR THE AREA...CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE EACH
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A LEE TROUGH DEVELOPS A SURFACE REFECTION
THEN TRACKS EAST...PULLING A WEAK COOL FRONT ACROSS THE REGION
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. ONCE THIS FRONT MOVES SOUTH INTO NORTH
CAROLINA...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL RUN BELOW NORMAL BY 5F TO 10F.
WE WILL ALSO GET RELIEF FROM THE HIGH DEW POINTS ONCE THE FRONT IS
SOUTH OF THE AREA.

STORMS WITH THE FRONT WILL HAVE A LOT OF INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE TO
WORK WITH. THEREFORE...STRONG TO SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LINGER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND AFTERNOON
HEATING UNDER A COLD POOL...MAY GENERATE A FEW STRONG STORMS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 235 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

THE MODELS SHOW SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTING THROUGH THE
WEEKEND OVER THE NORTHEAST...WHICH DRIVES A FRONT SOUTH TO NORTH
CAROLINA AND THE COASTAL WATERS. THE FRONT WEAKENS AS THE HIGH
MOVES OFFSHORE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. ONCE THIS RIDGE IS OFF
SHORE...A LEE TROUGH WILL SETUP OVER THE PIEDMONT AGAIN WITH
ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY. IN THE WAKE OF THIS
FRONT...ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION.

THE WEATHER PATTERN DOES NOT FAVOR MUCH COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD. HEAT AND HUMIDITY RETURN BEFORE
THE SECOND FRONT PASSAGE...WHICH WILL GIVE THE HIGHEST POPS DURING
THIS TIME FRAME. UNTIL FRONTAL TIMING IS MORE CONSISTENT...WILL KEEP
POPS AT A CHANCE.

TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE ABOVE NORMAL STARTING MONDAY AND LAST
UNTIL THE FRONT IS SOUTH OF THE AREA...WHICH COULD BE THURSDAY OR
FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 120 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

WILL SEE TS IN VICINITY OVER THE MTNS INTO ROANOKE THIS AFTERNOON
WITH LESS COVERAGE AT LYH/DAN. WILL HAVE TEMPO FOR TS AT BLF/LWB
EARLY AND AMEND AS NECESSARY IF STORMS APPROACH TERMINALS. OUTSIDE
OF STORMS SHOULD SEE VFR CONDITIONS. IN THE STORMS...HEAVY RAIN
AND MVFR OR LOWER EXPECTED WITH GUSTY WINDS AS WELL. THOSE FLYING
ACROSS THE MTNS AND PIEDMONT WILL ENCOUNTER TOWERING CU AND CBS
ESPECIALLY ALONG/WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE MTNS.

ACTIVITY WILL WANE THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF HEATING BUT WE MAY
SEE SHOWERS LINGER OVERNIGHT IN A FEW SPOTS. ATTM...LEANING TO VFR
CONDITIONS TRANSITIONING TO MVFR OR LOWER AT THE MTN TERMINALS AND
MVFR OUT EAST FOR FOG. ANY RAIN NEAR/AT TERMINALS AND CLEARING
SKIES OVERNIGHT SHOULD ALLOW FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT.

FOG WILL SLOWLY LIFT AROUND 12-14Z THU WITH STORMS HOLD OFF UNTIL
AFTER 18Z...ALTHOUGH A FEW MAY FORM AGAIN BY 18Z IN THE MTNS.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON...A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION AND WORKS IN FROM
THE NORTH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...
WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY WITH THE FRONT STILL NEARBY.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...SOME LINGERING SHOWERS/STORMS WILL
STILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING MOUNTAIN AND
RIVER VALLEY FOG.
