AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1257 PM EDT SAT MAR 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE EAST THEN SOUTHEAST
TODAY AND TONIGHT. BY SUNDAY NIGHT THE LOW WILL BE OFF THE CAROLINA
COAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION MONDAY AND
TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1250 PM SATURDAY...
UPDATED ISC GRIDS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 105 IN EFFECT
UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING.

AS OF 1150 AM EDT SATURDAY...
CONVECTION WHICH TAPERED OFF THIS MORNING ALLOWING SOME SUNSHINE TO
RETURN FOR THE WEST...WILL REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.
SOME OF THE STORMS WILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. THE UPPER LOW TO OUR WEST WILL STEADILY
APPROACH THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE ACROSS THE SRN APPALACHIANS
TONIGHT. LIKE THE HRRR FOR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND SHAPE POPS
CLOSE TO SOLUTION.

AS OF 915 AM EDT SATURDAY...
ADJUSTED TEMPERATURES AND POPS ACCORDING TO LATEST OBS AND RADAR
TRENDS. EXPANDED THE MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL FURTHER NORTH
TO MATCH SPC LATEST DAY1 OUTLOOK. HWO WAS UPDATED. PNS OUT FOR
HIGH MIN TEMPERATURES. ALSO ANOTHER PNS COMING OUT FOR RAINFALL
AMOUNTS. THE UPPER LOW IS MOVING EAST WITH COLD POOL WHICH WILL
RESULT IN NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. LOOK FOR SEVERAL ISC UPDATES TODAY WITH THE ACTIVE
WEATHER EXPECTED.

AS OF 410 AM EDT SATURDAY...

EXPECTING SEVERAL BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND
TONIGHT. FIRST AREA WAS OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA EARLY THIS MORNING AND WAS MOVING NORTHEAST AROUND 20
MPH. THE NEXT BAND EXTENDS FROM OHIO INTO EASTERN TENNESSEE. LOCAL
WRF AND HRRR BRING THIS BAND INTO THE WESTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA
BY 8AM.

AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES EAST THIS MOVING SO WILL THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. COLDER AIR ALOFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW WILL REACH THE FORECAST AREA
TODAY...CREATING LARGE LAPSE RATES AND LOWERING THE FREEZING
LEVEL. GUSTY WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE A THREAT WITH ANY
STRONGER STORMS...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE UPPER LOW MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTH CAROLINA BY SUNDAY
MORNING. EXPECT COVERAGE AND PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION TO
DECREASE LATE TONIGHT.

THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE CLOUD COVER AHEAD OF THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. FOG MAY DEVELOP EARLY
THIS MORNING AS THE CLOUDS BRIEFLY CLEAR. WITH ALL THE
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TODAY...HAVE GONE ON THE COOL SIDE OF
GUIDANCE. STAYED CLOSE TO A BLEND OF BIAS CORRECTED MAV/MET
GUIDANCE FOR LOWS TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM EST SATURDAY...

SUNDAY MORNING WILL START OUT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PASSING JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF OUR AREA...POSSIBLY CLIPPING OUR NORTH CAROLINA
COUNTIES. IN ANY EVENT...EXPECT TO SEE GREATER COVERAGE OF SHOWER
ACTIVITY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 81...AS A SLOT OF DRIER AIR WORKS ITS
WAY IN SOUTH CLOSER TO THE LOW. COVERAGE WILL INCREASE FURTHER
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS DAYTIME HEATING HELPS DESTABILIZE THE
ATMOSPHERE...AND WILL NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP BY LATE MORNING. WITH THE UPPER LOW PASSING SO CLOSE TO OUR
AREA...BELIEVE THAT HAIL WILL BE A CONCERN IN THE STRONGER SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...BUT EXPECT MOST HAIL TO BE IN THE PEA TO
DIME SIZE RANGE WHERE IT OCCURS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST BY LATE AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER LOW
CONTINUES TO PUSH OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST...AND SHOWER ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO BE CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS...MAINLY IN SOUTHEAST WEST
VIRGINIA BY LATE SUNDAY EVENING. DESPITE THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER
LOW...SUNDAY NIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD ACROSS OUR
AREA...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS RANGING FROM THE LOW TO MID 50S EAST...TO
THE UPPER 40S WEST.

IT WILL BE MONDAY MORNING WHEN WE SEE A CHANGE IN OUR WEATHER
PATTERN AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT BRINGS A SHOT OF COOLER CANADIAN AIR
INTO OUR AREA. MONDAY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
MILD ACROSS OUR AREA...ALBEIT A LITTLE COOLER...HOWEVER IT WILL BE
MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING TEMPERATURES THAT WILL BE OF CONCERN AS
LOWS FALL INTO THE 30S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. BELIEVE THAT NEAR
FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL BE CONFINED TO GREENBRIER COUNTY IN
SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...AS WELL AS THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS IN
VIRGINIA...LOCATIONS THAT HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A START TO THE
GROWING SEASON TO THE SAME EXTENT THAT HAS OCCURRED IN LOWER
ELEVATIONS. THAT STATED...IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO CONSIDER
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE COLD FOR ANY SENSITIVE VEGETATION WHICH HAS
STARTED TO GROW IN YOUR AREA.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE EAST ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON...ALLOWING WINDS
TO BECOME SOUTHERLY ACROSS OUR AREA. WITH A RIDGE OF UPPER LEVEL
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST LATE TUESDAY EVENING...
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL BE CONSIDERABLY WARMER...WITH LOWS
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE MID 40S IN THE WEST...TO THE UPPER 30S IN
THE EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM EDT SATURDAY...

ON WEDNESDAY...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SLIDE EAST OFF THE COAST.
SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS A WEAK COOL FRONT PASSES OVER THE REGION.
THIS RAIN WILL NOT BE ANY WHERE CLOSE IN INTENSITY TO THIS WEEKENDS
RAIN EVENT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 1159 AM EDT SATURDAY...

EXPECT SEVERAL PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
WILL LOWER TO MVFR/IFR IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SHOWERS AND STORMS.
SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS TODAY MAY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL...MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT. LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG WILL FILL IN OVERNIGHT WITH CEILINGS LOWERING TO IFR/MVFR
LEVELS. HAVE LOWERED VISIBILITY TO LIFR AT LYH WITH MEDIUM
CONFIDENCE. IF NORTHWEST SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE A LITTLE
STRONGER THAN EXPECTED THEN PROBABILITY OF LIFR OR IFR FOG WILL BE
LOWER.

SHRA WILL DEVELOP AGAIN ACROSS THE AREA SUN...BUT WITH
CONSIDERABLE LESS INSTABILITY INDICATED AND A COLDER/MORE STABLE
SFC ENVIRONMENT...DO NOT ANTICIPATE MUCH TSRA ACTIVITY SUN...JUST
SHOWERS.

DRIER WEATHER AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THIS WEATHER
SYSTEM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.
