AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
112 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BRING A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINS...AND
STRONG...POSSIBLY DAMAGING WINDS TO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE FRONT MOVES OFF THE COAST THURSDAY MORNING WHILE
COLDER AIR MOVES BACK IN TO END THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 100 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

THE BIGGEST ADJUSTMENT FOR THE AFTERNOON IS THE CANCELLATION OF
THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. THE BEST PUSH OF THE COLDER AIR
REMAINED NORTH OF THE REGION...AND THE SECTION OF THE LINE THAT
REACHED OUR AREA LOST ITS MOMENTUM. THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON...WE EXPECT WHAT IS LEFT OF THE LINE TO CONTINUE HEADING
EAST WITH RAIN SHOWERS BEHIND IT. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR
ALONG AND NEAR THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AS STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW CONTINUES. REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LINE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING IS POSSIBLE AS IT ENTERS SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA AND
NEIGHBORING PORTIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA.

AS OF 945 AM EST WEDNESDAY...

MORNING UPDATE REFLECTS INCREASED CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION IN THE
WEST WITH THE TIMING OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE LINE OF SHOWERS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE CONVECTIVE WATCH. ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...HAVE RAMPED POPS TO CATEGORICAL WHERE LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY
FLOW IS PRODUCING A GENEROUS COVERAGE OF LIGHT RAIN. HAVE MADE
ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPERATURES...DEW POINTS AND SKY COVER BASED UPON
THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND EXPECTED TRENDS THROUGH THE EARLY
AFTERNOON.

AS OF 830 AM EST WEDNESDAY...

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH 400 PM FOR
SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA AND SOME NEIGHBORING PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST
VIRGINIA. THE CONCERN IS DAMAGING COINCIDENT TO THE PASSAGE OF A
SQUALL LINE APPROACHING THE REGION FROM EASTERN KENTUCKY. VERY
LITTLE IF ANY THUNDER IS EXPECTED WITHIN THE SQUALL LINE.
HOWEVER...IF ANY WARNINGS ARE NEEDED THEY WOULD BE ISSUED AS A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING.

AS OF 345 AM WEDNESDAY...

PATTERN IS MORE LIKE MARCH THAN LATE JANUARY. WE WILL BE DEALING
WITH SEVERAL WEATHER ISSUES THIS PERIOD.

FIRST...LIGHT SHOWERS CONTINUE TO MOVE NE ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE
RIDGE THIS MORNING...AND SHOULD SEE SOME INCREASE IN COVERAGE
THROUGH THE MORNING GIVEN INCREASING SOUTHERLY COMPONENT IN THE LOW
LVLS. THE WINDS WILL BE THE FIRST TO CAUSE ISSUES LATER THIS
MORNING...AS 50-70 KNOT LOW LVL JET MOVES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY/TN
EAST-NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THE SFC COMPONENT WILL
BE FAVORABLE AT LEAST FOR A FEW HOURS FOR WINDS TO MIX DOWN TO THE
SFC AND GUST OVER 55 MPH IN PORTIONS OF SRN WV/FAR SW VA AND NW
NC....HENCE THE HIGH WIND WARNING. THIS WILL BE SOMEWHAT INHIBITED
BY THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL MOVING IN.

THE BIG ISSUE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SVR WX AND FLASH FLOODING
THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. SQUALL LINE LINED UP FROM WRN
INDIANA SOUTH ALONG THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IS GOING TO ADVANCE
EAST AND ANTICIPATING IT REACHING THE MTNS BETWEEN 21Z-00Z...THEN
KICKING EAST INTO THE PIEDMONT AFTER 01Z AND EXITING THE CWA AROUND
MIDNIGHT...WITH LINGERING SHOWERS THEREAFTER. THE SVR THREAT WILL
COME FROM THE STRONG WIND ENERGY WITH THIS SYSTEM. WE HAVE WIND
ADVISORIES POSTED AHEAD OF THIS GIVEN POTENTIAL MIXING DOWN OF 45+
MPH WINDS. THE INSTABILITY STILL APPEARS LIMITED GIVEN CLOUD
COVER...BUT A FEW BREAKS MAY OCCUR IN THE MTN EMPIRE. DONT EXPECT TO
SEE TOO MUCH LIGHTNING WITH THIS.

THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT SEEMS GREATER IN THE MOUNTAINS GIVEN THE
ALIGNMENT OF THE LINE OF CONVECTION AND PWATS OF 1.00 TO 1.5 WHICH
FOR LATE JANUARY IS MAXED OUT. HPC HAS THE MOUNTAINS IN A SLIGHT
RISK OF EXCEEDING FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE AND MODERATE RISK OVER
GREENBRIER AND BATH COUNTIES. GIVEN SATURATED SOIL CONDITIONS AND
SOME LINGERING SNOW COVER...HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE MOUNTAIN COVERAGE AREA...LEAVING OUT ROA/SRN
SHENANDOAH VALLEY...ALTHOUGH THEY COULD GET SOME ISOLATED THREAT.
THIS FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL RUN FROM NOON TIL MIDNIGHT AS MOST OF
THE HEAVIER RAINS WILL OCCUR FROM MID AFTERNOON TIL EVENING.

DESPITE THE CLOUDS AND INCREASING SHOWERS...TEMPS SHOULD BE ABLE TO
PUSH INTO THE 60S WEST AND LOWER TO MID 70S SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER...THE
RECORD HIGHS FOR THIS DATE SEEM JUST OUT OF REACH. BLF IS CLOSEST
WITH FORECAST HIGH OF 67 AND RECORD HIGH OF 69 SET IN 2002.

FOR TONIGHT...THERE WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A LULL IN WINDS ONCE THE
QLCS PUSHES EAST BUT THEN PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND 6 HR
PRESSURE RISES OF 5-8 MB WILL BRING ANOTHER SURGE OF STRONG WINDS
ALONG WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION INTO THE AREA MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
BUT MORE LIKELY TOWARD DAWN. WILL LEAVE OUR WIND HEADLINES AS
IS...AS THIS WILL COVER MORE OF THE PREFRONTAL STUFF...AND LET LATER
SHIFTS REARRANGE AND/OR EXPAND IT IN TIME AS WE GET CLOSER.

THE OTHER ISSUE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT WILL BE SNOW SHOWERS ON THE
UPSLOPE. MODELS ARE SHOWING A QUICK BURST OF 1/2 TO 2 INCHES IN THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF WRN ASHE/WATAUGA AND THE SE WV MTNS. MAY NEED A
WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR THIS...AS THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION PLUS SNOW
AND WET GROUND COULD LEAD TO SOME VERY SLICK ROADS. WILL MENTION IN
THE HWO.

TEMPS TONIGHT WILL VARY AND IF THE FRONT SLOWS ANOTHER 1 TO 2
HOURS...PLACES LIKE DANVILLE MAY STAY IN THE 50S. FOR NOW THINK THE
COOLER AIR ARRIVES AROUND DAWN TO SEND THE PIEDMONT DOWN INTO THE
LOWER 40S WHILE THE MTNS ARE DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER
30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM EST WEDNESDAY...

HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THE WARM...WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THE
PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. COME THURSDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL NOT REACH
NORMAL AND LIKELY FALL THROUGH THE DAY. COMBINING THE COLD AIR AND
WINDY CONDITIONS...WIND CHILLS WILL VARY FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO MID
20S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS TO MID 20S TO LOWER 30S EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE THURSDAY. WEST WINDS AND MOISTURE FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL
KEEP SNOW SHOWERS ON WESTERN SLOPES INTO MID AFTERNOON. WITH ONLY A
BRIEF UPSLOPE EVENT...AMOUNTS ON WESTERN SLOPES WILL RANGE FROM 1 TO
3 INCHES. BOTH THE WIND AND THE SNOW TAPER OFF BY THURSDAY EVENING.

A DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE QUICKLY FROM THE OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY
EVENING TO THE MID ATLANTIC SHORE FRIDAY MORNING. WINDS AHEAD OF
THIS SYSTEM WILL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST ALLOWING SOME MOISTURE TO
POOL INTO THE REGION. THIS SYSTEM WILL STILL BE MOISTURE STARVED AS
THE GULF IS BEING BLOCKED BY A SURFACE RIDGE. THIS DISTURBANCE WILL
BRING ONE TO TWO INCHES OF DRY SNOW TO THE FAR WEST AND A DUSTING TO
AN INCH FOR COUNTIES ALONG AND JUST WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. CAN NOT
RULE OUT SCATTERED FLURRIES PUSHING EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...POSSIBLY IN TO THE PIEDMONT FRIDAY MORNING.

BEHIND THIS DISTURBANCE...MORE COLDER AIR WILL SURGE INTO THE REGION
FRIDAY. 85H TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AFTERNOON ARE FORECASTED AROUND
-8C. BEHIND FRIDAY DISTURBANCE...85H TEMPERATURES ARE FORECASTED TO
BE -16C IN THE AFTERNOON. IN OTHER WORDS...TEMPERATURES THURSDAY
WILL RANGE BETWEEN 30F-45F...FRIDAY 20F-35F. THE SNOW AND THE WIND
WILL TAPER OFF FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
WEST. HOWEVER...THE COLD AIR WILL LINGER INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 305 PM EST TUESDAY...

A LONG WAVE TROF REMAINS OVER THE EASTERN CONUS FOR THE WEEKEND. SFC
HIGH CENTERED ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST SATURDAY WILL MOVE EAST INTO
THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. A CLIPPER-LOW AND ATTENDING SURFACE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST SATURDAY AND TRAVELS ACROSS FORECAST AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THE GFS SUGGEST THAT A COUPLE OF
INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE IN THE WESTERN UPSLOPE
AREAS. THE ECMWF HINTS AT LIGHTER SNOW TOTALS. KEPT SNOW SHOWERS IN
THE NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLOW FOR SUNDAY MORNING INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON
LEANING TOWARDS GFS THEN TAPER OFF AS THE TROF AXIS MOVES FURTHER
INTO THE ATLANTIC.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE CENTER LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS GREAT
LAKES AND PUSHES A COLD FRONT TOWARDS OUR REGION MONDAY. THE COLD
FRONT ADVANCES ACROSS OUR REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE
GFS DEVELOPS A LOW PRESSURE CENTER OFF THE VIRGINIA COAST MONDAY
NIGHT AND LIFTS IT NORTHWARD ON TUESDAY. THE GFS SOLUTION
INDICATED THAT MORE SNOW...SEVERAL INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
WESTERN UPSLOPE AREAS ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. WENT WITH
SCATTERED POPS FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AND WILL WATCH FOR
FURTHER RUNS TO SEE EVOLUTION AND DETAILS OF THIS STORM FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1245 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

PRIMARILY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA INTO
TONIGHT AS A BROAD AREA OF RAIN SHOWERS PROGRESSES INTO THE AREA
IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. ALSO...IN ADVANCE OF
THESE SHOWERS...STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW IS HELPING TO MAINTAIN RAIN
ALONG AND NEAR THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THIS SAME SOUTHERLY
JET WILL HELP MAINTAIN GUSTY CONDITIONS AT THE
SURFACE...ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THE COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL
EXIT EASTWARD OUT OF THE REGION WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

WEST VIRGINIA AND NEIGHBORING SECTIONS OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA
THROUGH THURSDAY.

UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE...BUT DECREASE IN COVERAGE
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL SEE VFR
CONDITIONS.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS VFR CONDITIONS TO THE ENTIRE AREA FOR
THE START OF THE WEEKEND. GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE
CLIPPER THROUGH MONDAY.

A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS AND LOCALIZED
MVFR CONDITIONS TO THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.
