AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
332 PM EDT FRI AUG 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE REGION FROM
THE NORTHWEST THIS EVENING BEFORE PASSING SOUTHEAST THROUGH OUR
AREA THIS WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST SHIFTS
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 235 PM EDT FRIDAY...

WELL MIXED WESTERLY FLOW HAS BASICALLY PUT A LID ON OVERALL
DEEP CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON DESPITE GOOD INSTABILITY EAST OF
THE MOUNTAINS AND THE LINGERING FRONT TO THE NW. HOWEVER STILL
EXPECTING A GRADUAL BACKING OF THE FLOW TO SUPPORT MORE
BANDS/CLUSTERS OF TSRA ESPCLY EAST INTO THIS EVENING...WITH
PERHAPS ANOTHER SAGGING LINE OF SHRA/TSRA DROPPING IN ACROSS THE
NW COUNTIES JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. FLOW ALOFT REMAINS RATHER
BRISK SO THIS SHOULD HELP REDUCE THE OVERALL FLOODING THREAT
UNLESS STORMS ALIGN MORE WITH ISOLATED SEVERE POSSIBLE AS WELL
GIVEN THE DECENT JET ALOFT. EXPECT THAT COVERAGE WILL AGAIN
DECREASE WITH LOSS OF HEATING ALTHOUGH STORMS MAY LINGER ACROSS SE
WVA INTO THE OVERNIGHT WITH THE FRONT NEARBY AND A WEAK WAVE
MOVING ALONG. THUS KEEPING LIKELY POPS FAR WEST FOR MUCH OF THE
NIGHT WITH HIGH CHANCE/LIKELYS ELSW DIMINISHING AFTER THIS
EVENING. TEMPS AGAIN IN THE MUGGY 65-73 RANGE PER MOISTURE AND
LINGERING CLOUDS.

REMNANT FRONT WILL CONTINUE DRIFTING SOUTH INTO THE AREA SAT AS A
WEAK WAVE CURRENTLY BACK OVER THE MIDWEST HEADS EAST. THIS FEATURE
LOOKS TO CROSS THE WESTERN ZONES DURING THE MORNING AND FINALLY
HELP DROP THE BOUNDARY FARTHER SOUTH IN ITS WAKE DURING THE
AFTERNOON. AXIS OF FORECAST 2 INCH PWATS AND POTENTIAL TRAINING OF
SHRA OVER THE FAR WEST OF CONCERN ESPCLY IF THE SE WVA COUNTIES
SEE HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA INTO TONIGHT. HAD CONSIDERED A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR THAT REGION INTO SAT BUT APPEARS THAT THE 85H WAVE MAY
GO FURTHER SOUTH SAT PUTTING LOWER RATE SHRA ACROSS THE NW...WITH
MORE CONVECTIVE FOCUS TO THE SOUTH WHERE BETTER HEATING EXPECTED.
THUS OPTED OUT BUT COULD SEE THE NEED FOR A SHORT TERM WATCH LATER
IF STORMS ORGANIZE MORE THIS EVENING. OTRW TRICKY AS TO HOW FAR
SOUTH THE FRONT AND CLOUD SHIELD GET ON SATURDAY WITH THE WAVE
LIKELY TO TRY AND HOLD THE BOUNDARY UP. LATEST NAM AND CANADIAN
LOOK TO BE AN OUTLIER WITH AN MCS OVER WVA SAT WITH THE SPC WRF
ALSO QUITE WET. THUS STICKING CLOSER TO THE SLOWER/WARMER GFS/SREF
COMBO WHICH HAS LESS PRECIP TO INIT BEFORE AREAS ALONG/EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE SEE CONVECTION DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON AS THINGS UNZIP
AIDED BY EARLY DIFF HEATING. STEERING LOOKS A BIT WEAKER THAN
TODAY SO MORE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL GIVEN HIGH PWATS...AND BEST
THETA-E SOUTHERN HALF WHERE MORE BACKING/INSTABILITY LIKELY.

MOS AGAIN SHOWING QUITE A RANGE ON SAT BETWEEN THE VERY COOL MET
AND MUCH WARMER MAV. WITH TRENDS MORE SUPPORTIVE OF THE MAV OF
LATE LEANED ON THE WARM SIDE WITH AT LEAST SOME INSOLATION
EXPECTED.
&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT FRIDAY...

500 MB FLOW IS ZONAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. GFS SHOWED A SHORT WAVE AND
ASSOCIATED POCKET OF COLD AIR OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY.
MODELS ARE SHOWING DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH
THE LOCATION OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE. OVERALL GFS KEEP IN FATHER
SOUTH. SINCE SURFACE BOUNDARY SEEMS TO STALL OVER THE REGION SUNDAY
AND MONDAY WILL BE KEEPING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST
WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA.

WITH THE BIG SPREAD IN THE TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE WILL GO TOWARD THE
COOLER NUMBERS/ECMWF GUIDANCE SINCE CLOUDS WILL LIMIT HEATING.
&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT FRIDAY...

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE LONG WAVE 500 MB PATTERN THROUGHOUT THIS TIME
PERIOD... WITH A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES AND TROFING
OVER THE EAST. MODELS NOT SHOWING GOOD TRENDS ON HOW AMPLIFIED
EASTERN TROF WILL BE.

APPEARS THERE WILL BE TWO FRONTAL PASSAGES DURING THIS PERIOD. THE
FIRST WILL BE A COLD FRONT ON TUESDAY AND THE NEXT A WARM FRONT ON
FRIDAY OR PERHAPS DAY 8...SATURDAY. MAIN SHORT WAVE ENERGY STAYS
NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT WEAKER SHORT WAVES AROUND THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE TROF...ALONG THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG
ANY BOUNDARIES WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR THE RELATIVELY WET
PATTERN TO CONTINUE.

WILL HAVE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY....THEN AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WHEN SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
OFFSHORE AND RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH BRINGS MOISTURE BACK INTO
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.

TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT ON TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WILL BE BELOW NORMAL...BUT HOW COOL THEY GET WILL DEPEND ON
THE AMPLITUDE OF THE TROF AND HOW FAR 850 MB FRONT ADVANCES SOUTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA.
&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM EDT FRIDAY...

OVERALL FLAVOR OF THE FORECAST WILL BE CONVECTION ALONG AND WEST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH THE FOCUS
SHIFTING TO THE PIEDMONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON...THEN FOG/STRATUS
FOR BLUE RIDGE WESTWARD OVERNIGHT. HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN VFR
CIGS/VSBYS OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IF THESE AIRPORTS SEE ANY
SIGNIFICANT DIRECT PRECIPITATION TODAY. HOWEVER...FEEL THE
GENERAL WIND DIRECTION GOING TO WLY WILL LEAD TO SOME DOWNSLOPE
AND HELP MITIGATE NOCTURNAL FOG AND LOW CIGS. WILL GO AGAINST MOS
GUIDANCE HERE AND RATHER THAN HEDGE...WILL GO WITH AN OPTIMISTIC
FORECAST FOR KDAN AND KLYH.

MODELS SEEM TO HAVE A DECENT HANDLE ON PCPN TRENDS AND CONTINUE
TO SQUEEZE OUT SOME LIGHT SHOWERS FOR THE OVERNIGHT ALONG AND WEST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE IN LIGHT W/NWLY FLOW. WILL BRING IN THE LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG AT KBLF/KLWB/KBCB AND USE VCSH TO HANDLE THE PCPN
AT KBLF/KLWB. KROA WILL BE IN THE TRANSITION ZONE BUT WILL SHADE
THINGS TO THE OPTIMISTIC SIDE AND USE A TEMPO FOR SOME MVFR
CIGS/VSBY.

AVIATION EXTENDED...
THE FRONT SHIFTS SLOWLY SOUTHEAST THRU THE WEEKEND AND KEEPS THE
THREAT OF SHOWERS/STORMS AROUND. THE FRONT MAY SLIP SOUTH OF THE
AREA BY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH STILL SOME THREAT OF SHOWERS OVER
THE SRN CWA FROM DAN-BCB-BLF.
