AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
744 AM EDT SAT JUL 27 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATED TODAY
WITH A COLD FRONT THAT WILL APPROACH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT. THE
FRONT WILL CROSS THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON SUNDAY. LARGE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL COVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES ON
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 415 AM EDT SATURDAY...

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED EARLY THIS
MORNING FROM THE NEW RIVER VALLEY INTO NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA.
EXPECT PRECIPITATION...MAINLY IN THE WESTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA
TO CONTINUE THIS MORNING...THEN THE SHORT WAVE SEEN ON THE WATER
VAPOR LOOP COMING THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THAT IS ASSOCIATED
WITH PRE-FRONTAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REACH THE FORECAST
AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WAVE WILL TAKE MOST OF THE NIGHT TO
CROSS THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE INCREASED PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION IN THE SOUTHWEST THIS MORNING AND KEPT THE
PROBABILITY HIGH TONIGHT.

THE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL LIMIT HEATING TODAY SO MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL FORECAST TO BE BELOW NORMAL. LACK OF
HEATING WILL RESULT IN LIMITED INSTABILITY...BUT SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES AT 500 MB WILL MEAN LARGER LAPSE RATES WITH WEAK TO
MODERATE SHEAR. UPPER JET WILL ALSO BE IN A FAVORABLE POSITION FOR
SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT TONIGHT.

WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS BACK INTO THE 60S AND PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES APPROACHING 1.5 INCHES...HEAVY RAIN IS A THREAT WITH ANY OF
THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. THE MILD DEW POINTS WILL KEEP MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES IN THE 60Z FOR MOST LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT. USED BIAS
CORRECTED MAV GUIDANCE FOR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY AND LOWS
TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT SATURDAY...

THE UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES SUNDAY AS THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHIFTS INTO THE PIEDMONT. WITH A SLIGHTLY SLOWER
TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT...BEST CHANCE OF CONVECTION SUNDAY SHOULD
BE EAST OF I81. DEPENDING ON HEATING AND INSTABILITY...A FEW OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME STRONG ACROSS THE PIEDMONT SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. PLAYED HIGHS SUNDAY CLOSE THE COOLER MOS VALUES WITH
READINGS FROM THE LOWER 70S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 80S IN THE
SOUTHEAST. TAPER OFF POPS FROM WEST TO EAST SUNDAY NIGHT AS DRIER
AIR SPREADS INTO THE REGION. LOWS TEMPERATURES SUNDAY NIGHT WILL
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S IN THE NORTHWEST TO LOWER 60S IN THE EAST.

WEAK SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING UPPER TROUGH
MONDAY. WENT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY FROM THE LOWER 70S IN THE
MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 80 IN THE PIEDMONT.  HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES
OVERHEAD MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS FROM THE THE UPPER 40S IN THE
MOUNTAINS THE LOWER 60S IN THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...

UPPER FLOW QUICKLY TRANSITIONS TO A ZONAL PATTERN THROUGH THE LONG
TERM PERIODS. A SERIES OF EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES WILL TRAVEL WITHIN
THE FLOW AND BRING AN OVERALL UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN TO THE
REGION FOR MUCH OF THE LONG TERM. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT WED
STILL OFFERS THE BEST CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN AND ANY FLOODING
CONCERNS. A STRONG DISTURBANCE WILL TRACK IN THE MEAN WNW FLOW
ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE TN VALLEY TOWARD THE CAROLINAS. A SFC LOW
PRESSURE AREA WILL FORM ALONG A WARM FRONT TO OUR SOUTH...REMNANTS
OF THE SUN COLD FRONT. DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE REGION WILL BE QUITE LOW
IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM AND WITH AN EASTERLY FLOW SETUP AND RAIN
SPREADING INTO THE AREA FROM THE SW...WED LOOKS TO BE A POTENTIAL
CLASSICAL WEDGE SETUP RAIN/UNSEASONABLY COOL DAY. WILL NEED TO WATCH
RAINFALL AMOUNTS AS UPSLOPE FLOW COULD ENHANCE RAINFALL ALONG THE
BLUE RIDGE...BUT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE CWA WILL REMAIN ON THE COLD
SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM WHICH SHOULD KEEP QPF IN CHECK. GFS GRIDDED DATA
SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST IDEA ON WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN...WITH
MOST ALL OF THE GUIDANCE TRENDING TOWARD CLIMATOLOGY. MAX TEMPS WED
COULD BE NEARLY 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...BUT HAVE COMPROMISED FOR NOW AND ADVERTISED
HIGHS IN THE 70S...EXCEPT NW MOUNTAINS WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S. LIKELY
TO CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH...WITH CHC POPS FURTHER NORTH
AWAY FROM THE DISTURBANCE.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED...EXPECT A RETURN TO MORE TYPICAL
SUMMER CONDITIONS AS THE WED SYSTEM DEPARTS. MAX TEMPS WILL RETURN
TO MORE NORMAL READINGS...ESPECIALLY BY THE END OF THE WEEK AS 850MB
TEMPS WARM CLOSER TO +20C ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. AREAS LIKE KDAN MAY
BE APPROACHING 90 BY THAT TIME. TYPICAL MORE DIURNAL SHRA/TSRA
ACTIVITY EXPECTED...WITH SOME FOCUS DEPENDING ON UPPER SHORT WAVE
TIMING FROM DAY-TO-DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 740 AM EDT SATURDAY...

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FROM
CENTRAL VIRGINIA INTO SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA THIS MORNING...IN
ADVANCE OF A WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE ROTATING AROUND AN UPPER
TROF. EXPECT MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WITH ANY OF THE
STRONGER SHOWERS AND STORMS. LOW CONFIDENCE...BUT THERE MAY BE A
BREAK BETWEEN THE RAIN WITH THIS SHORT WAVE AND THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COMING OUT OF THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS...AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

AS SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME SOUTHWEST...HAVE MVFR
CEILINGS IN OVERNIGHT. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE THAT CEILINGS WILL STAY
ABOVE IFR.

THE COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDED FROM MICHIGAN TO SOUTHERN MISSOURI
THIS MORNING WILL CROSS THE AREA WITH MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY. THERE IS STILL A CHANCE OF LOCALIZED
SUB-VFR CONDITIONS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD. THIS
WILL YIELD LIGHT WINDS AND LIMITED CLOUD COVER...BUT NIGHTTIME AND
EARLY MORNING FOG AND STRATUS WILL BE POSSIBLE THANKS TO PLENTY OF
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IN PLACE AFTER THE RAIN.
