AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
754 PM EDT SUN AUG 5 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL ENTER WEST VIRGINIA TONIGHT THEN SLOWLY MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION ON MONDAY. THE FRONT WILL DRIFT INTO THE
CAROLINAS BY TUESDAY AND DISSIPATE...BUT LINGERING MOISTURE BEHIND
IT WILL ALLOW SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE
THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 725 PM EDT SUNDAY...

NARROW BOUNDARY OF HEAVY RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHING FROM THE
ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS SSW INTO THE MTNS OF NC AND INTO TN WILL SLIDE
SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE EVENING...BUT WEAKEN IN INTENSITY.
RAINFALL RATES WERE UP TO 4 INCHES AN HOUR IN THE THUNDERSTORMS
BUT HAVE DROPPED OFF TO 2.5 INCHE/HOUR. SOME FLOODING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF WATAUGA NEAR ZIONVILLE AND SMALL STREAMS OUT OF THEIR
BANKS. THE NC MTNS INTO THE MTNS OF SMYTH/GRAYSON STILL WILL SEE
ENOUGH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL FOR FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS.

ACTIVITY FURTHER EAST HAS BEEN ISOLATED IF ANYHING. SHOULD SEE
SCT SHOWERS ARRIVING THERE LATER THIS EVENING BUT SHOULD SEE A
CONTINUED WEAKENING TREND IN THE HEAVIER RAINS.

UPSTREAM CONVECTION HAS WEAKENED AND WILL WATCH STORMS ACROSS SRN
OHIO MAKE SOME PROGRESS TOWARD SE WV AFTER MIDNIGHT. UNLESS THIS
ORGANIZES INTO MORE AREAL COVERAGE DO NOT FORESEE NEEDING A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH...DUE TO ISOLATED NATURE.

PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION...
LEFT CHC POPS IN FOR MUCH OF THE REGION SINCE THE BOUNDARY WILL
BE NEAR...BUT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS SE OF
THE ALLEGHANYS WITH HEATING ADDING FUEL AROUND DAWN INTO MID
MORNING WITH THE FRONT NEARLY OVERHEAD. AS THE BOUNDARY DOESN'T
ARRIVE ACROSS THE NEW RIVER VALLEY UNTIL MID DAY...THE SOUTHSIDE
AND NC PIEDMONT WILL HAVE A CHC TO BECOME UNSTABLE SUCH THAT AN
ISOLATED STRONG STORM IS POSSIBLE...AND HEAVY RAINFALL EVEN MORE
POSSIBLE. CLOUDS AND SHOWERS MAY HOLD SOME MAX TEMPS BELOW 80F ON
MONDAY.

&&

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

WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEVER REALLY EXITS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF
THE CWA BEFORE WASHING OUT DURING THE DAY TUESDAY AND ALLOWING LIGHT
SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWEST LOW-LEVEL FLOW WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE TO
STREAM INTO THE APPALACHIAN REGION OF WRN NC...SW VS...AND SE WV.
SOME OF THIS MOISTURE IS OF TROPICAL ORIGIN...AT LEAST BY LATER
TUES...COMING UP FROM FLORIDA AND THE GA/SC COAST. THERE WILL
CERTAINLY BE A GRADIENT IN PRECIP CHANCES ACROSS THE RNK FCST AREA
WITH VERY LOW CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTH TO VERY HIGH CHANCES ACROSS
THE SOUTH...AND TRENDS IN MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A GENERAL INCREASE
IN POP AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS IS THE WAY TO GO. STARTING OUT WITH
LIKELY ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT BUT WITH SOME DISSIPATION
OF ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT...BUT LIKELY NOT ENTIRELY WITH WEAK
CONVERGENCE LINGERING ALONG OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. ONLY MENTIONING
SLIGHT CHC THUNDER LATE AT NIGHT. HOWEVER THROUGHOUT THE DAY TUES
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BEGINS TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH...ESPECIALLY IN
THE NAM...WITH A INCREASE IN POPS AND SPREAD NORTHWARD TO INCLUDE AT
LEAST LOW CHC POPS AGAIN FAR NORTH BY AFTERNOON. THIS NOW SUPPORTED
BY GFS...NAM...AND SREF.

THIS FLUX OF TROPICAL MOISTURE...ALTHOUGH GENERALLY NOT ALL THAT
STRONG...CONTINUES THROUGH WEDNESDAY. NAM SHOWS THIS INFLUX A
LITTLE BETTER...WITH SIGNS OF A WEAK LOW LEVEL JET AND UPPER LEVEL
WAVE INTO THE NC MTNS LATE TUESDAY AND INTO EARLY WED...SUGGESTING
POTENTIAL FOR ONGOING SHOWERS/STORMS...WITH HEAVY RAINFALL
POSSIBLE...MUCH OF THE NIGHT TUES NIGHT AND MAYBE INTO WED MORNING.
GOING WITH LIKELY TO HIGH CHC POPS DOWN IN THAT AREA...AND WILL NEED
TO CONSIDER CONTINUING TO INCREASE THIS IF TRENDS IN GUIDANCE
CONTINUES.  AM BEGINNING TO GET CONCERNED ABOUT ESPECIALLY HEAVY
RAIN THREAT ACROSS THE SOUTH THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY NC
MTNS...BUT MUCH DEPENDS ON STRENGTH OF THIS LOW LEVEL JET. WILL NEED
TO KEEP WATCHING CAREFULLY THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. WHILE I CONTINUED
MENTION OF CHC TO LIKELY THUNDER DURING THE DAY WHILE DROPPING TO
SLIGHT CHC THUNDER OVERNIGHT...AS WE GET MORE CONFIDENT IN JUST HOW
LIMITED INSTABILITY MAY BE...WE MAY BE BACKING OFF ON HOW MUCH
THUNDER TO EXPECT AS THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK MORE LIKE TROPICAL
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY FOR TUESDAY.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY WENT ON THE MILD SIDE OF GUIDANCE
FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS...AND COOL SIDE OF GUIDANCE FOR DAY TIME
HIGHS...AT LEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF FCST AREA WHERE SKY COVER
WILL REMAIN NEARLY OVERCAST THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH PLENTY OF
SHOWER ACTIVITY. MET WAS COOLEST GUIDANCE AND EVEN UNDERCUT IT A
COUPLE OF DEGREES IN SOME AREAS ON TUES...AND POSSIBLY WED IN A FEW
LOCATIONS AS WELL DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM
INTO THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM EDT SUNDAY...

A MOIST LIGHT SW FLOW AHEAD OF SLOWLY DEEPENING GREAT LAKES UPPER
TROUGH WILL KEEP MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTIVE CHANCES AROUND THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK. BY TOWARD THE WEEKEND...GFS MORE PROGRESSIVE
AND DEEPER WITH DEVELOPING TROUGH THAN ECMWF...AND BOTH MODELS FROM
00Z AND ALSO 06Z GFS IN IN LINE WITH THEIR ENSEMBLE MEANS. THE GFS
THUS DOES SUGGEST A PERIOD OF MORE WRLY FLOW ON FRIDAY AND SLIGHTLY
DRIER...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO REDUCE CONVECTIVE CHANCES GIVEN
CLIMATOLOGY. ALSO BY THE WKND...WHILE BOTH MODELS TAKE THE NEXT WEAK
COLD FRONT THOUGH THE FCST AREA BY SUNDAY...GFS ACTUALLY SLOWS IT
DOWN GIVEN DEEPER TROUGH AND ANOTHER WAVE DIGGING AROUND SOUTHERN
END OF TROUGH...COMPARED TO THE ECMWF. GIVEN THE TIME OF YEAR...AND
SINCE THERE IS REALLY NO STRONG PUSH OF CANADIAN AIR BEHIND IT
REALLY PUSHING THIS FRONT OFF THE COAST...DECIDED TO LEAN MORE WITH
GFS AND A CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED FCST AND SO KEPT AT LEAST LOW
CHANCES OF MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  DID NOT
GO QUITE AS DRY WITH DEW PTS BEHIND THE FRONT AS THE GUIDANCE...BUT
DID SHOW MORE DROP OFF IN POPS OVERNIGHT AND LESS CLOUDY SKIES
COMPARED TO MID TO LATE WEEK WHEN OVERALL MOISTURE IS STILL MORE
PREVALENT.

UNLESS FRONT STALLS BEFORE EVEN REACHING THE APPALACHIANS...WHICH SEEMS
UNLIKELY...THERE SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT OF A COOLING TREND BY SAT AND
ESPECIALLY SUNDAY JUST BEHIND THIS FRONT...BUT MORE SO IN TERMS OF
OVERNIGHT LOWS VS. DAYTIME HIGHS. OVERALL...TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE NOT
TOO FAR FROM AVERAGE VALUES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. IF THE FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH SOONER AND FARTHER EAST...PER 00Z ECMWF IDEA...THEN
CAN EXPECT EVEN DRIER CONDITIONS WITH EVEN COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 736 PM EDT SUNDAY...

AREA OF SHOWERS/EMBEDDED STORMS OVER BCB/ROA SOUTHWEST TO TNB WILL
MOVE SLOWLY EAST AND WEAKEN. CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE ON ALL TAF
SITES SEEING SUB VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE HIGHER
MOISTURE CONTENT. ISSUE WILL BE HOW LOW CAN VSBYS/CIGS GO DUE TO
CLOUD COVER. KEPT PREVIOUS FORECAST EXCEPT TIGHTENED WINDOW OF
LOWER CIGS/VSBYS TO A COUPLE HOURS.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY SHOULD SINK SOUTHEAST
INTO THE MTNS LATE TONIGHT AND SOUTH INTO NC BY THE END OF THE TAF
PERIOD. ATTM...SEEMS MOST TERMINALS ARE GOING TO SEE A GOOD CHANCE
OF SHOWERS MONDAY...SO HAVE THE IFR CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR
BUT MAY SEE MVFR LINGERING IN THE MTNS THROUGH MIDDAY. SOME
TEMPO IFR CONDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER STORMS.

WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS FRONT...WINDS SHOULD BECOME
NORTHERLY...WITH A DAY OR TWO OF DRY WEATHER AND VFR CONDITIONS
FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE FOR MID WEEK. HOWEVER...DEPENDING
FINAL FRONTAL PLACEMENT...SOUTHERN TERMINAL FORECAST AREAS CLOSER
TO STALLED FRONT...SUCH AS AT KDAN...MAY CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE A
THREAT OF OCCASIONAL MVFR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS DUE TO SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA.
