AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
952 PM EDT TUE JUL 31 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL KEEP THE AREA IN A FAVORED PATTERN FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO LATE WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT
WILL APPROACH THE AREA WEDNESDAY BEFORE DISSIPATING WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN LATE IN THE WEEK RESULTING IN
SOMEWHAT DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 935 PM EDT TUESDAY...

LATEST WRFARW-RNK SHOWED CONVECTION WEAKENING AND DISSIPATING
OVERNIGHT. THIS SAME TREND WAS SHOWEN ON NAM AND GFS.

ADJUSTED POPS FOR THE LATEST KFCX 88D TRENDS WITH CONVECTION
SPILLING A LITTLE FURTHER EAST THAN FIRST THOUGHT. IN
GENERAL...INCREASED POPS IN THE SOUTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF
VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS OF NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THEN...CLUSTERS OF SHRA/TSRA SHOULD
GRADUALLY WEAKEN WITH THE LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING. KEPT THE HIGHEST
POPS IN THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT AND THE LOWEST POPS IN THE
SOUTHEAST. SHORTWAVE TO OUR WEST WILL ARRIVE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY AND MAY TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA. EXPECT A WEAKENED
STATE TO ANY STORMS...SO HELD ON TO SOME LOW POPS MAINLY NORTHWEST
THRU THE OVERNIGHT. AREAS OF FOG WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY
WHERE HEAVY RAIN OCCURRED. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE
UPPER 50S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST. EXPECT
ANOTHER ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM DAY ON WEDNESDAY WITH A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST.

AS OF 745 PM EDT TUESDAY...
RAISED POPS IN THE WEST THIS EVENING WITH AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION. PLAYED THE HIGHEST
POPS IN THE NORTHWEST. MODIFIED TEMPERATURES ACCORDING TO LATEST
TREND. ADJUSTED POPS AND CLOUDS IN THE EAST FOR LATEST TRENDS.
MORE ADJUSTMENTS LATER TONIGHT.

AS OF 300 PM EDT TUESDAY...

CONVECTION REMAINS QUITE WIDELY SCATTERED AND MAINLY OVER THE FAR
WESTERN PERIMETER OF THE CWA ATTM...ALONG THE ELONGATED CONVERGENCE
ZONE STRETCHING FROM THE SE STATES INTO THE GREAT LAKES. IN ADDITION
THE CWA REMAINS IN BETWEEN THE REMNANT MCS THAT PASSED WELL SOUTH
EARLIER...THE CORE OF THE 5H TROF TO THE NORTH...AND THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE SEEN IN WATER VAPOR BACK IN THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS COMBO
WITH RATHER WEAK INSTABILITY PER CAPES OF 1500 J/KG OR SO...AND THE
LEFTOVER POCKET OVER THE SE WHERE EARLIER FOG/STRATUS HAS LIMITED
DEVELOPMENT...MAKES ADDED TSRA COVERAGE INTO THE EVENING RATHER
IFFY. SHORT TERM MODELS AGAIN REMAIN OVERDONE AS EXPECT WILL SEE
MORE OUTFLOW DRIVEN CLUSTERS OF SHRA/TSRA MOUNTAINS THAT SHOULD
GRADUALLY PROPAGATE EAST AND PERHAPS WORK OVER THE BLUE RIDGE BEFORE
LOSS OF HEATING. THEREFORE HAVE CONTINUED A SCATTERING OF POPS INTO
EARLY EVENING WITH HIGHEST VALUES WEST-NORTH AND LOWER CHANCES SE.
STILL SOME ISOLATED PULSE SVR/HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL SO KEEPING
MENTION IN THE HWO INTO THE EVENING. NEXT UPSTREAM WAVE WILL
ARRIVE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY WED AND MAY TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHRA BUT TIMING SUGGESTS A WEAKENED STATE TO ANY STORMS...SO ONLY
KEEPING SOME LOW POPS MAINLY NW THRU THE OVERNIGHT. SHOULD AGAIN
BE FOG AROUND ESPCLY WHERE RAIN OCCURRED BUT NOT LOOKING AT THE
DEGREE OF STRATUS TNGT GIVEN THE FLOW TURNING LIGHT SOUTH/SW.
TEMPS SHOULD AGAIN FALL OFF TO MOSTLY 60S WITH A FEW 50S IN THE
VALLEYS SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING.

DECENT VORT LOBE TO THE NW TRACKS ACROSS AND JUST EAST OF THE CWA ON
WED WITH THE MAJORITY OF DEEPER MOISTURE WORKING INTO THE PIEDMONT
DURING MAX HEATING. HOWEVER WEAK SFC WAVE NEAR THE COAST MAY INJECT
JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE TO PRODUCE MORE SCTD TSRA WEST INTO THE
MOUNTAINS JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT DROPPING IN FROM THE NW. DRYING
ALOFT MAY TEND TO LIMIT COVERAGE BUT GIVEN ONLY WEAK NW FLOW APPEARS
ENOUGH RH TO POP SOME CLUSTERS/BANDS OF TSRA ESPCLY ALONG/EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. THUS ORIENTED CHANCE POPS OVER THE RIDGES IN SPOTS
EARLY ON...SHIFTING EAST BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. OTRW PARTLY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY AND A BIT WARMER UNDER MORE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
RESULTING IN HIGHS CLOSE TO 90 SE AND MOSTLY 80S ELSW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 310 PM EDT TUESDAY...

HEIGHTS SLOWLY RISE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
SLOWLY STRENGTHENS. THE SUBTLE WARMING ALOFT WILL KEEP STORMS MOSTLY
RESERVED TO THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF EXTREME SW VA AND NW NC. MAXT
WILL BE SIMILAR BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH MIDDLE 80S TO LOWER
90S. DEWPOINTS WILL FALL THROUGH THE 60S ACROSS MOST SPOTS BUT
STAYING IN THE MIDDLE 60S ACROSS THE SOUTHSIDE AND PIEDMONT. ATTM
THURSDAY SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT LESS ACTIVE AS FAR AS STORM DEVELOPMENT
THAN FRIDAY. THE BERMUDA RIDGE SHIFTS WEST AND STRENGTHENS INTO THE
LONG TERM.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM EDT TUESDAY...

WEAK UPPER TROFFING/WEAKNESS EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC AND MID APPALACHIAN REGION THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS AREA
IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN BROAD BERMUDA HIGH TO THE EAST AND EXTENSIVE
UPPER RIDGE FROM THE 4-CORNERS AREA INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS.
SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR ALOFT COMBINING WITH SUBTLE WEAK EMBEDDED SHORT
WAVE TROFS MEANDERING EAST IN UPPER FLOW SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO
MAINTAIN DAILY THREAT FOR MAINLY DIURNALLY-DRIVEN WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THOUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD.

A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHORT WAVE TROF EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY...GRADUALLY FILLING AND
LIFTING EAST-NORTHEAST BACK INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME...WESTERN UPPER RIDGE EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY
OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...SUPPORTING SUFFICIENT AMPLIFICATION
OF DOWNSTREAM EASTERN TROF TO DRIVE COOL FRONT SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA BY/ON MONDAY PRECEDED AND ACCOMPANIED BY A
MORE ORGANIZED LINE OF SHOWERS/STORMS...TO BE FOLLOWED BY SOMEWHAT
COOLER AND DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT BY TUESDAY...MOST NOTABLY FROM
THE BLUE RIDGE WEST.

HPC BIAS CORRECTED GUIDANCE USED TO POPULATE LONG RANGE GRIDDED
FIELDS...WITH ONLY SUBTLE TWEAKS TO REFLECT TOPOGRAPHICALLY DRIVEN
LOCAL CLIMATOLOGICAL BIASES AS/WHERE APPROPRIATE.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 810 PM EDT TUESDAY...

CONVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS THE CWA THIS HOUR...BUT MOSTLY ON THE
UPSLOPE SIDE OF THE ALLEGHANYS. TSRA ARE AVOIDING MOST OF THE TAF
SITES AT THIS HOUR...BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH LWB...ROA...AND LYH FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH NEARBY STRONG CONVECTION AND OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES THAT MAY SPARK NEW CONVECTION NEARBY. CONVECTION SHOULD
DIMINISH IN ALL AREAS BY 04Z AT THE LATEST...LEAVING MOSTLY VFR MID
TO HIGH-LEVEL OVERCAST OVERNIGHT. FOR WED...THE UPPER TROUGH DRIVING
THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION WILL SHIFT EAST...WITH THE BEST
DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. THUS...HAVE FOCUSED ON
ADVERTISING AFTERNOON CONVECTION IN THOSE AREAS...AND LEFT IT OUT OF
BLF/LWB...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED WITH LATER MODEL RUNS.

OTHERWISE...FAIRLY WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOULD LEAD TO IFR-LIFR BR/FG AND
IFR-LIFR CIGS IN THE 08Z-12Z TIME FRAME WED...ESPECIALLY
LWB/BLF/BCB...WITH LESS THREAT OF SUCH OCCURRING IN AREAS THAT
RECEIVED LESS RAIN ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.

WINDS...MOSTLY CALM OR VRB03KT OVERNIGHT...BECOMING SW-WNW THROUGH
THE DAY WED AT SPEEDS 10KTS OR LESS.

AS OF 1235 PM EDT TUESDAY...

LOW CIGS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY IMPROVE TO VFR ESPCLY ALONG AND EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE WHERE FOG/STRATUS HAVE BEEN STUCK FOR MUCH OF
THE MORNING. EXPECT THIS TREND TO PREVAIL INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH
MAINLY 4-6K FT CU FIELDS FOR MOST SPOTS UNTIL LOSS OF HEATING.

THE MAIN THREAT OF SLOW MOVING MULTICELLULAR STORMS CONTINUES IN
THE WESTERN LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM KLWB-KBCB
THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL...COVERAGE WILL BE SCATTERED ELSEWHERE BUT
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY
OF ALL MOST TAF SITES IN THE AFTN SO KEPT IT IN.

SHOULD SEE A QUICK WEAKENING TREND TO CONVECTION THIS EVENING AS
THE SHORTWAVE PASSES. HOWEVER...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE UPSTREAM MAY
BRING SHOWERS INTO THE KLWB/KBLF AREA THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING.
CIGS MAY DROP AGAIN LATE TUE NIGHT AS WELL AS VSBYS DEPENDING ON
EXTENT OF RAINFALL...AND CLEARING SKIES SO LOWERED CIGS/VSBYS TO
IFR/MVFR MOST SPOTS EXCLUDING KROA BUT NOT AS LOW AS LAST NIGHT.

THE DAILY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEK BUT SHOULD BECOME MORE
WIDELY SCATTERED WEDNESDAY...AND ISOLATED THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN FROM THE WEST. MOISTURE WILL BEGIN
TO RETURN OVER THE WEEKEND WITH DIURNAL BOUTS OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS LIKELY WITH MOSTLY AFTERNOON/EVENING MVFR CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE AT TIMES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. OUTSIDE OF THIS MAINLY
DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION...THE ONLY OTHER FLIGHT WEATHER
HAZARDS WOULD BE FROM OVERNIGHT VALLEY FOG.
