Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 4:06 PM EDT, 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
406 PM EDT TUE MAR 20 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
THE CIRCULATION BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST AND LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE NATION WILL MAINTAIN
WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION FOR THE
REST OF THE WEEK ALONG WITH A DAILY THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT TUESDAY...

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE NEAR TERM IS AFTERNOON/EVENING PULSE
CONVECTION...AIDED SOMEWHAT BY WEAK CLOSED UPPER LOW DRIFTING VERY
SLOWLY SOUTHWARD ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. ACTIVITY GENERATED
ALONG THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS OF WESTERN VA/EASTERN WV...PRIMARILY
ALONG THE ALLEGHANYS. AS YESTERDAY...A FEW OF THESE WILL BECOME
MARGINALLY SEVERE THROUGH EVENING HOURS...ESPECIALLY WITH CAPES
NEAR 1000 AND LIS -6 TO -7 ACROSS THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON. ACTIVITY
IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH QUICKLY AFT 00Z. EXPECTING MINIMAL
OVERNIGHT FOG/LOW CLOUDS WITH TOTALLY UNORGANIZED SYNOPTIC PATTERN
AND LACK OF ANY LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE FEED. FOR WED...ELONGATED
SKINNY UPPER RIDGE WEDGED BETWEEN WEAK UPPER LOW TO THE EAST AND
MAMMOTH DEEP CLOSED LOW IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL U.S. WILL SLOWLY
DRIFT TOWARD THE RNK CWA. THIS SHOULD PUSH THE BETTER CHC FOR
CONVECTION FURTHER SE ON WED...SO HAVE ONLY ADVERTISED SLIGHT
CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE POPS FOR WED AFTERNOON AT THIS POINT. USED A
BLEND OF MAV/MET TEMPS THROUGH WED...WITH LITTLE DAY-TO-DAY CHANGE
EXPECTED. MAX TEMPS SHOULD BACK OFF SLIGHTLY FROM THE RECORD
VALUES OF TODAY...BUT MIN TEMPS WILL STILL BE NEAR RECORD WARM VALUES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT TUESDAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL OUR WEATHER
THROUGH THE PERIOD. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DEVELOP AND
GRADUALLY DROP SOUTH ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST INTO THURSDAY.
BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SEEM QUITE ROBUST WITH THE ASSOCIATED
SHORTWAVES PIVOTING AROUND THIS LOW.

WILL HOLD ON TO THE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WITH
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FUELED
BY THE INSTABILITY OF THE PEAK SOLAR HEATING. PLAYED LOWS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT CLOSE TO THE MILDER ADJMET WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER 40S IN
THE MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 50S IN THE FOOTHILLS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
THURSDAY WILL RUN 20-25 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...WITH READINGS FROM
AROUND 70 DEGREES IN THE WEST TO AROUND 80 DEGREES IN THE SOUTHEAST.
LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL REMAIN MILD WITH VALUES FROM THE UPPER 40S
IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 50S IN SOUTHSIDE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT TUESDAY...

THE MID ATLANTIC REGION REMAINS IN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS ON
FRIDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON WITH A BACK DOOR FRONT AROUND THE MASON-DIXON LINE
AND PREFRONTAL JET ENERGY COMING ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.
THE BACK DOOR FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT...THEN GETS
PUSHED TO THE NORTH ON SATURDAY. A STRONG CYCLONE WILL SLOWLY TRACK
FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MIDWEST SATURDAY MORNING. IN THE
MEDIUM RANGE...THE CANADIAN WAS STRONGER WITH THE UPPER LOW
COMPARED TO SLOWER AND WEAKER GFS AND ECMWF. THE LOW CENTER
WILL TRAVEL SOUTHEAST INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT AND
OVER THE CAROLINAS ON SUNDAY.

PREFRONTAL CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE INTO THE WEST SATURDAY THEN OVER
THE ENTIRE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. WITH ABUNDANT
MOISTURE AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF THESE STORM...HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY
WITH A POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD FLOODING. KEPT THE LIKELY POPS ON
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...BUT THE TIMING COULD SHIFT DEPENDING ON
THE SPEED OF THE LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT.

PLAYED HIGHS ON FRIDAY QUITE WARM WITH READINGS FROM THE LOWER 70S
IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 80 DEGREES IN THE SOUTHEAST. WENT LOW
TEMPERATURES FRIDAY NIGHT FROM THE UPPER 40S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE
MID 50S IN THE PIEDMONTS.  WITH CLOUDS AND A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN
SATURDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY RISES INTO THE MID 60S IN THE WEST
TO THE LOWER 70S IN THE SOUTHEAST. KEPT IT COOL ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS
FROM AROUND 60 DEGREES IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER 70S IN THE
SOUTHEAST. TEMPERATURES MODERATE ON MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH HIGHS
FROM THE LOWER 60S IN THE WEST TO THE LOWER 70S IN THE EAST. LOWS
WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE LOWER 40S TO AROUND 50 DEGREES.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 645 AM EDT TUESDAY...

ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPING ALONG THE ALLEGHANYS AND THE NORTHERN
BLUE RIDGE...BUT LITTLE ORGANIZED SUPPORT FOR ACTIVITY THIS
AFTERNOON. SCT-BKN CONVECTIVE CLOUDS WILL TRANSITION INTO CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING...OTHERWISE...VFR OUTSIDE SHRA/TSRA
ACTIVITY THROUGH EARLY EVENING. OVERNIGHT...HAVE BACKED OFF
DEVELOPMENT OF IFR FG WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN AIR MASS OR SYNOPTIC
PATTERN INDICATED FROM THIS MORNING. EARLY THIS MORNING...LITTLE TO
NO AREAS OF WORSE THAN MVFR BR OBSERVED. WINDS GENERALLY CHAOTIC AND
VERY LIGHT THROUGH TAF VALID PERIOD.

LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED OVER THE MID APPALACHIAN AND MID ATLANTIC
REGION INTO FRIDAY...WITH A BLOCKING HIGH OFFSHORE AND LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS. A WARM MOIST AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
OVER THE AREA...MAINTAINING A THREAT FOR OCCASIONAL MVFR
RESTRICTIONS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING
HOURS...ALONG WITH A CONTINUED THREAT FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN SCATTERED
TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. GENERALLY VFR THROUGH
MUCH OF THIS PERIOD...OUTSIDE LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING BR/FG.

BY FRIDAY NIGHT...WE COULD SEE A BETTER THREAT OF SHOWERS/STORMS
AS A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE MIDWEST...WHICH COULD BRING A
LONGER PERIOD OF SUB VFR WX TO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. WIDESPREAD
VFR RETURNS BEHIND THE SYSTEM FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
