AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
359 PM EDT WED AUG 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL ADVANCE EASTWARD TONIGHT FROM
KENTUCKY THROUGH VIRGINIA. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION
ON THURSDAY...AND CROSS INTO AND THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY. DRIER
AND COOLER HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION FOR THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS SHOWING A SHORTWAVE TROUGH PROGRESSING
EASTWARD OVER THE INTERSECTION OF IN/OH/KY. ABUNDANT CONVECTION WAS
FIRING IMMEDIATELY WITHIN THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS OF THIS
FEATURE...EXTENDING SOUTH INTO CENTRAL KY/TN. ACROSS OUR
REGION...THE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED IN
COVERAGE. HOWEVER...WHERE THE SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE FORMED...THEY
HAVE BEEN IN SLOW MOVING CLUSTERS THAT HAVE ALLOWED FOR GENEROUS
AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS WILL APPROACH
THE WESTERN PART OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...AS THE FEATURE REACHES OUR
AREA...WE WILL BE PAST THE PEAK HEATING OF THE DAY AND STARTING TO
LOSE DAYLIGHT AND LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY. SO WHILE WE DO EXPECT
SHOWERS AND STORMS TO BE ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA HEADING INTO THE
EVENING HOURS...THE TREND WILL BE FOR COVERAGE TO DECREASE AFTER
800 PM. COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE GREATEST IN THE WEST IN ADVANCE
OF THE TROUGH AXIS AND ALSO NEAR THE VA/NC BORDER WHICH IS CURRENTLY
DOWNSTREAM OF A NUMBER OF CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVING
NORTHEAST THROUGH NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA. TRAINING OF INDIVIDUAL
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. ANY FLASH FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY LOCALIZED
AND WILL BE HANDLED BY FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS AS NEEDED. A BROADSCALE
WATCH WOULD BE TOO EXPANSIVE...AND CONFIDENCE OF TARGETING A SELECT
GROUP OF COUNTIES IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE ONE.

OVERNIGHT...THE TROUGH AXIS WILL CROSS THE REGION. WHILE ISOLATED
SHOWERS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE IN ASSOCIATATION WITH THE DYNAMICS
AND ASSOCIATED COLD POOL ALOFT...A PERCENTAGE OF 20 TO 30 PERCENT IS
ALL THAT WILL BE FORECAST AFTER ROUGHLY MIDNIGHT.

AS WE GET INTO THURSDAY...LOW LEVEL WIND WILL BECOME WESTERLY ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THIS WILL HAVE A
TENDENCY TO HELP SQUELCH CONVECTION DURING THE DAY IN MOST AREAS.
THE WESTERN PART OF THE AREA MAY SEE SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
UPSLOPE SHOWERS OR STORMS. ACTIVITY EAST OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE SHOULD BE ISOLATED AT BEST. A LEE SIDE TROUGH MAY FORM. IN
THAT CASE...THE FAR EASTERN PART OF THE REGION MAY HAVE A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING A SHOWER OR STORMS AS LOW LEVEL WIND BACK
TO THE SOUTHWEST OR SOUTH ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE LEE TROUGH.

LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE COMPARABLE TO THOSE REALIZED THIS
MORNING GIVEN WE ARE EXPECTING NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN AIRMASS.
HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL LIKELY BE HIGHER THAN THOSE REALIZED TODAY
THANKS TO WESTERLY WINDS YIELDING LESS CLOUD COVER AND COMPRESSIONAL
WARMING IN THE EAST. TEMPERATURES IN THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD BE
COMPARABLE TO THOSE REALIZED TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA FOR THURSDAY NIGHT
AND FRIDAY MORNING AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE
AREA. WILL SEE WINDS SHIFT FROM THE NORTHWEST AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY...HOWEVER THE TRULY DRIER AIR WILL
LINGER TO THE NORTH THROUGH EVENING BEFORE MOVING IN AND BRINGING AN
END TO THE RESIDUAL RAINFALL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS FROM THE GREAT
LAKES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT...EVENTUALLY WEDGING SOUTHWARD ALONG THE EASTERN FACE OF THE
APPALACHIANS.

EXPECT NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY AS WARM TROPICAL AIR
POOLS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WHEREAS TEMPERATURES FOR
SATURDAY WILL BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL AS THE NORTHEASTERLY
FLOW AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE CARRIES COOLER AIR FROM THE
ATLANTIC. OTHERWISE...WE CAN EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUD
SKIES AS OUR AREA RESTS ON THE EDGE OF A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
SITUATED ACROSS THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST ON SUNDAY...
ALLOWING WINDS TO BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY ACROSS OUR AREA. MAY SEE A
FEW SHOWERS DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN RIDGE LINES AS GULF MOISTURE
TRIES TO WORK ITS WAY BACK INTO THE PICTURE...BUT COVERAGE APPEARS
ISOLATED AT THIS POINT.

THE BIGGER CONCERN WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF A STRONG THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEX RIDING AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY...
PASSING FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC AREA. THE ECMWF
FORECAST MODEL IS FASTER WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THIS SYSTEM...BRINGING
IT IN ON MONDAY NIGHT...WHILE THE GFS MODEL IS SLOWER AND
WEAKER...BRINGING THE SYSTEM ACROSS POSSIBLY LATE TUESDAY. STILL
PLENTY OF TIME TO KEEP ON EYE ON HOW THIS SYSTEM DEVELOPS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 150 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

THE ASSOCIATED DYNAMICS WITH THE APPROACH OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
IS ENTERING THE REGION CURRENTLY. SURFACE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO
WARM AND HELP THE LOW LEVELS BECOME UNSTABLE. THE RESULT IS
DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE AREA. THE GREATEST
CONCENTRATION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS IS EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS. COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO TRANSLATE EASTWARD HEADING
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. MOST AREAS WILL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE VFR
CONDITIONS THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THOSE LOCALIZED AREAS WITH MODERATE
TO HEAVE SHRA/TSRA. HERE BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
LIKELY ALONG WITH VARIABLE AND GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.

THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...CEILINGS WILL TREND TO A MIX OF
MVFR AND LOW END VFR CONDITIONS BY 06Z/2AM WITH A MIX OF IFR/MVFR
CEILINGS BY 12Z/8AM. VISIBILITIES WILL TREND TO IFR IN THOSE
LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVED RAIN TODAY AND EARLY THIS EVENING ALSO
SHELTERED VALLEYS ALSO WILL TREND TOWARD HAVING FOG.

THE TROUGH AXIS PASSES AROUND 12Z/8AM THURSDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW
WINDS TO VEER MORE WESTERLY AND INCREASE IN SPEED. ANY SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE FAIRLY RAPIDLY TO VFR.

A BROADER LONGWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PROGRESS
ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. LOOK FOR A
RETURN OF ORGANIZED SHOWERS AND STORMS IN ADVANCE...DURING...AND
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ITS PASSAGE. SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL ACCOMPANY
THE HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA.

DRIER HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. OTHER
THAN SOME LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VALLEY
FOG...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED INTO MONDAY.
