AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
100 PM EST SUN JAN 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA TODAY BRINGING THE
COLDEST AIR OF THE WINTER SO FAR TO THE REGION. THIS COLDER REGIME
WILL LAST INTO MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1100 AM EST SUNDAY...

MORNING SOUNDINGS INDICATED DRY AIRMASS OVER THE AREA...HOWEVER
PER VISIBLE SAT PIX AND REGIONAL RADARS...UPSTREAM MOISTURE IS ON
THE WAY WHICH MAY PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS
THIS AFTERNOON. MORNING SOUNDING FROM NASHVILLE TN...INDICATED
MOISTURE FROM SFC-700 MB...THIS SHALLOW MOISTURE JUST AHEAD OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT WHICH IS MOVING EAST BOUND THROUGH OH/TN. NARROW
BAND OF SHOWERS WAS OCCURRING JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE SHOWERS WILL MOVE INTO THE
HIGH COUNTRY OF NC...FAR WRN VA...AND SOUTHEAST WV EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. BOONE AND BLUEFIELD SHOULD SEE SHOWER ACTIVITY BETWEEN
17-19 UTC...THEN TO NEAR LWB-PSK-HLX-UKF LINE BETWEEN 19-21 UTC.
FRONT IS MOVING FAST SO DURATION OF SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE LESS
THAN AN HOUR.

AS THE FRONT CROSSES THE MOUNTAINS...DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND RESULTANT
DRYING SHOULD LIMIT EASTWARD EXTENT OF MEASURABLE PRECIP. CAN'T
RULE OUT A BRIEF SHOWER OR SPRINKLE AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT...BUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR WETTING WILL BE MUCH LOWER THAN
THE MOUNTAINS.

WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES LOOK FOR INCREASING SW WINDS...10-20 MPH WITH GUSTS 25
TO 30 MPH. PASSAGE OF THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN A WIND SHIFT TO THE
WNW ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN MAGNITUDE. GUSTS OF 30 TO 35 MPH
WILL BE COMMON BEHIND THE FRONT...SUPPORTED BY 85H WINDS OF 40-50
KTS. THE HIGHER TERRAIN...ESP THE HIGH COUNTRY OF NC...MAY SEE
WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 45 KTS.

SW FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REACH THE
50S/60S PRIOR TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON. MOST AREAS
EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD REMAIN ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE FRONT
UNTIL NIGHTFALL. BIG CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE WILL FOLLOW THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE FOR TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST
DEEPENS AS IT MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL SEND SURGE OF
COLD AIR INTO THE REGION WITH TEMPERATURES SPIRALING DOWNWARD.

TONIGHT...THE COLDER AIR RUSHES IN CHANGING ANY PRECIP TO SNOW
SHOWERS ACROSS THE MTNS...BEFORE DRIER AIR WORKS IN. SHOULD SEE
CLEARING OUTSIDE OF THE UPSLOPE AREAS...WITH SOME STRATOCU
STREAMING SE INTO THE BLUE RIDGE LATE. AT THE MOMENT...ANY SNOW
TONIGHT WILL BE MAINLY CONFINED TO THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS AND
AMOUNT TO A DUSTING IF THAT...MAYBE AN INCH IN WRN GREENBRIER
COUNTY WV.

WITH STRONGER WINDS TONIGHT...WENT WITH A LITTLE MILDER THAN MAV MOS
ON LOWS AS WE HAVE SEEN THIS MIXING KEEP TEMPS ELEVATED SOME DESPITE
STRONG CAA. THEREFORE...WENT CLOSER TO THE LOCAL MOS AND MET MOS
NUMBERS. EXPECT LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 20S MTNS WITH LOWER 30S
ROANOKE AND EAST. WIND CHILLS ARE GOING TO BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
LATE TONIGHT ONLY AT ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3500 FEET.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM EST SUNDAY...

STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION THAT WILL BE ONGOING AT BEGINNING OF SHORT
TERM PERIOD WILL BRIEFLY WANE ON MONDAY AS SURFACE WINDS BACK
SLIGHTLY FROM THE WEST-NORTHWEST INTO THE WEST AHEAD OF THE NEXT
STRONG UPSTREAM SHORT WAVE PINWHEELING SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES ON THE BACKSIDE OF GREAT LAKES UPPER TROF. ALTHOUGH
UPSLOPING CLOUDS WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE DAY WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...EXTENT OF UPSLOPING SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS WESTERN FLANKS OF
THE APPALACHIANS WILL BECOME A BIT MORE SPOTTY WITH BACKING
WIND...AT LEAST DURING THE MORNING HOURS.

HOWEVER...AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES...UPPER TROF BECOMES MORE
AMPLIFIED OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE NATION AS SHORT WAVE
CONTINUES SOUTHEAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES...PASSING OVER THE
AREA ON MONDAY NIGHT. NEXT REINFORCING BLAST OF COLD AIR ON BACKSIDE
OF THIS WAVE...WITH WINDS BACKING INTO THE NORTHWEST WITH
TRAJECTORIES FROM OFF THE GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND
OF INCREASING UPSLOPING SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS
LATER MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY EVENING...QUITE POSSIBLY SPILLING
AS FAR EAST AS THE BLUE RIDGE MONDAY NIGHT.

MAY EXPERIENCE ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ON BACKSIDE OF THE SHORT WAVE
LATER MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT WITH 850 MILLIBAR WINDS
NEAR RIDGE LEVEL FORECAST TO APPROACH 50 KNOTS. MAY ALSO HAVE TO
ISSUE AT LEAST SOME TYPE OF IMPACT-BASED ADVISORY FOR COMBINATION OF
SNOW...BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW...AND RELATIVELY LOW WIND CHILLS FOR
THE SAME PERIOD. 60-HOUR SNOWFALL TOTALS IN LATEST SET OF GRIDS FOR
LONG-DURATION UPSLOPING SNOWS RANGE FROM 2-3 INCHES ACROSS THE NW NC
MOUNTAINS...TO AS HIGHS AS 6-8 INCHES IN WESTERN GREENBRIER COUNTY
IN SE WV...BUT EACH 12-HOUR TOTALS NEVER EXCEEDS 2-3 INCHES AT ANY
LOCATION.

COLD WEATHER BEGINS TO THROTTLE BACK A BIT TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS
MEAN TROF AXIS GRADUALLY SHIFTS TO THE EAST OF THE AREA...ALLOWING
GRADIENT WINDS AND COLD ADVECTION SNOWS TO TAPER OFF ACROSS THE
WESTERN MOUNTAINS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...AND FINALLY ENDING ON
TUESDAY NIGHT.

ARRIVAL OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE LATER TUESDAY NIGHT SHOULD ALLOW
SKIES TO CLEAR...AND WITH VERY DRY AIR IN PLACE...SHOULD SET THE
STAGE FOR A GOOD RADIATIVE EVENT...ESPECIALLY WHERE SNOWPACK EXISTS.
AFTER A COLD START WEDNESDAY MORNING...WINDS SHOULD SWITCH BACK INTO
THE SOUTHWEST ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE RIDGE AS THE
NEXT UPSTREAM SHORT WAVE BEGINS TO APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST.
GOOD WARM ADVECTION AND INSOLATION SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
REBOUND BACK CLOSER TO SEASONAL LEVELS BY MID AFTERNOON.

ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND ONGOING COLD ADVECTION WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE SHOULD RESULT IN THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE WINTER THUS
FAR...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY ONLY IN THE 20S IN
MANY LOCATIONS...WITH SOME OF THE HIGHER RIDGES NOT CLIMBING OUT OF
THE TEENS. HOWEVER...THE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER WILL ALSO FLATTEN THE
DIURNAL TEMPERATURE CURVE SUCH THAT MOST AREAS IN THE MOUNTAINS
REMAIN IN THE TEENS AT NIGHT.

A BETTER DIURNAL TEMPERATURE CURVE WILL BE REALIZED EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...WITH STRONG DOWNSLOPING WINDS RESULTING IN MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SHORT TERM PERIOD...SUPPORTING
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 30S IN THE FOOTHILLS TO THE LOWER AND MID
40S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT ON MONDAY AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE...BUT WITH
HIGHS HARD PRESSED TO BREAK FREEZING BY TUESDAY FOLLOWING THE
PASSAGE OF THE WAVE AND ITS REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR. LOWS
MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE PIEDMONT SHOULD BE IN THE 20S.

TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY NIGHT UNDER THE SURFACE RIDGE SHOULD FALL
INTO THE TEENS IN BOTH THE MOUNTAINS AND PIEDMONT...BUT SOME OF THE
MOUNTAIN VALLEYS...AND AREAS WITH SNOWPACK MAY SEE TEMPERATURES FALL
INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS...PERHAPS NEAR ZERO.  WARMING SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS ON BACKSIDE OF RIDGE SHOULD ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB
BACK TO AROUND FREEZING ACROSS THE HIGHEST RIDGES...TO MAINLY 35-40
ELSEWHERE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM EST SUNDAY...

WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH MAKES A PASS THROUGH THE REGION LATE
WEDNESDAY EVENING. WITH A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE...DO NOT
EXPECT TO SEE MORE THAN MID AND HIGH CLOUDS...AND POSSIBLY LIGHT
SNOW SHOWERS FOR SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS
TROUGH ON THURSDAY MORNING...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING TAKES OVER OUR
WEATHER PATTERN...RESULTING IN A WARMUP FOR THE EAST COAST. AS A
RESULT...WE CAN EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY TO
CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 40S TO MID 50S BOTH DAYS. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
ALSO INCREASE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT BEGINS TO
APPROACH OUR REGION FROM THE WEST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM EST SUNDAY...

THE MAIN WEATHER IMPACT FOR AVIATION WILL BE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG FRONT IS POISED TO CROSS THE FOLLOWING
TERMINALS AT THE FOLLOWING TIMES...BLF 19Z...LWB 20Z...BCB 21Z...
ROA 22Z...LYH 23Z...DAN 00Z. POTENTIAL FOR WIND SHEAR WILL
EXIST...ESP AT LWB/BCB/ROA JUST PRIOR TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. A
NARROW BAND OF CONVECTIVE SHOWERS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT
AND MAY ALLOW FOR SUDDEN DOWNDRAFTS WITH SFC GUSTS OF 35 KTS.
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE LIKELY WITH THE SHOWERS. DURATION HOWEVER
LOOKS TO BE LESS THAN AN HOURS...LOW CIGS MAY LINGER FOR UP TO 2
HOURS AFTER FROPA.

PASSAGE OF THE FRONT WILL BRING WIND SHIFT AND A MAGNITUDE
INCREASE. WNW WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AFTER FROPA WITH SFC
WIND GUSTS OF 30 TO 35 KTS...CONDITIONS PERSISTING THROUGH TONIGHT
AND MONDAY.

A STIFF COLD NW WIND IS GOING TO PERSIST INTO TUESDAY. THIS
PERSISTENT WIND FLOW WILL FOCUS MOISTURE FROM THE GREAT LAKES AND
OHIO VALLEY REGION INTO THE MOUNTAINS OF WV/VA/NC. HIGH CONFIDENCE
THAT MVFR CIGS...AND OCNL IFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE WINDWARD
SLOPES VCNTY OF BLF/BCB/LWB WITH WIDESPREAD FLURRIES AND HEAVIER
SNOW SHOWERS. VSBYS WILL LIKELY BE REDUCED TO LESS THAN 3SM ATTMS
LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR TEMPO VSBYS BLO 1SM
ATTMS VCNTY OF BLF AND LWB.

BY WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE EAST FOLLOWED BY A
WEAKER FRONT THURSDAY. A WEST TO NORTWEST LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW
SUPPORTS MAINLY MVFR CIGS IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH VFR WX EAST OF THE
MTNS FOR WED-FRI.
