AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
201 AM EST THU JAN 31 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA
OVERNIGHT...ALLOWING HEAVY RAIN TO TAPER OFF...FOLLOWED BY
FALLING TEMPERATURES AND MORE GUSTY WINDS THURSDAY. COLD AIR
WILL PERSIST FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...WITH
PERIODIC EPISODES OF SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY MAINLY ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 150 AM EST THURSDAY...

CANCELLED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. FRONT IS NOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS
AND THE HEAVIER RAINS HAVE MOVED OUT...WITH ONLY NARROW BANDS OF
SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE AND PIEDMONT. WILL BE WORKING
RIVER AND AREA FLOOD WARNINGS THE REST OF THE MORNING.

WILL BE DEALING WITH WINDS AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS AND PRESSURE
RISES OF 5+MB IN 3 HOURS NOTED IN KY ATTM...MOVE IN LATER THIS
MORNING SENDING WIND GUSTS BACK UP. WILL REVALUATE WIND HEADLINES
SOON FOR THE 400 AM FORECAST.

ALSO...LOOKS LIKE AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW WILL FALL IN THE FAVORED
WESTERN SLOPES OF WV. MAY BE ISSUING AN SPS TO COVER SLICK
ROADS...AS NOT SEEING ENOUGH FOR ADVISORY YET...ALTHOUGH GIVEN WET
ROADS...AND SUBFREEZING TEMPS COMING IN...SLICK ROADS A
POSSIBILITY.

PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION...

WINDS/CLOUDS/MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. FROM THAT POINT ON...IT WILL BE BACK TO WINTER
WITH TEMPS AND PTYPE RESEMBLING SOMETHING MORE TYPICAL OF JANUARY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 415 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

WARM WEATHER IS OVER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

POLAR AIR WHICH COMES INTO THE AREA THURSDAY WILL BE REINFORCED BY
SOME ARCTIC AIR THURSDAY NIGHT. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA TOWARD MIDNIGHT THURSDAY... PASSING OFF
THE MID ATLANTIC COAST EARLY FRIDAY. 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 THREE 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 EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

BEHIND THIS DISTURBANCE...MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SURGE INTO THE
REGION DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. 85H TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
PLUNGE TO NEAR -16C IN THE AFTERNOON...SUGGESTING SURFACE TEMPS
WILL STRUGGLE TO GET ABOVE FREEZING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND
REMAIN IN THE 20S WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. FRIDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO
BE THE COLDEST OF THE UPCOMING NIGHT THIS WEEKEND...CLEAR SKIES
AND DIMINISHING WINDS ALLOWING FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD IS DOMINATED BY WEST OR NORTHWEST FLOW AND
SOME DEGREE OF COLD ADVECTION UNDER LARGE LONG WAVE TROUGH THAT
PERSISTS OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF NORTH AMERICA...HOWEVER OVER TIME
THE AMPLITUDE OF THE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY AS WE GO THROUGH
NEXT WEEK.  HOW MUCH THIS DIMINISHES...AS WELL AS THE TIMING OF A
FEW CLIPPER SYSTEMS THAT WILL PROVIDE A RE-ENFORCING SHOT OF COLDER
AIR AND SNOW SHOWER POTENTIAL...REMAINS SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION AS
THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN MUCH OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE THROUGH THIS
PERIOD.

BEGINNING SATURDAY HOWEVER...GUIDANCE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH BY LATE IN THE DAY
AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH THE 00Z ECMWF AND 12Z CANADIAN A
LITTLE FASTER AND A LITTLE COLDER. 12Z GFS A BIT STRONGER WITH THIS
SYSTEM...BUT ALSO SOMEWHAT MILDER ON SATURDAY BEFORE IT ARRIVES WITH
WEAK WARM ADVECTION.  GFS ENSEMBLES ALSO SUGGEST THE OPERATIONAL GFS
IS ON THE WARMER SIDE OF THE POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS...SO EVEN THOUGH
WILL NOT GO AS COLD AS THE ECMWF MOS NUMBERS...WILL STAY A FEW DEG
COOLER THAN GFS-BASED NUMBERS. HAVE ALSO INTRODUCED SOME HIGH CHC TO
LOW LIKELY POPS IN THE FAR WEST AS EARLY AS LATE IN THE DAY
SATURDAY. WOULD EXPECT PRECIP TO ARRIVE EARLIER THAN THE GFS...AND
MAYBE EARLIER THAN THE ECMWF GIVEN THE TYPICAL BIAS OF THE MODELS IN
THESE SITUATIONS. STILL LOOKS LIKE A FAIRLY MINOR NW FLOW SNOWFALL
EVENT FOR THE UPSLOPE AREAS...YET A FEW INCHES IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. MAYBE EVEN A SKIFF FARTHER EAST UP TOWARD THE BLUE RDG IF
THE STRONGER GFS IDEA ENDS UP BEING CORRECT.

COOL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THAT...AND THE DEGREE OF COLD
AIR ADVECTION IS UNCERTAIN YET DOES NOT LOOK ESPECIALLY STRONG.  00Z
ECMWF BUILDS WEAK S/WV RIDGE IN FOR MONDAY ACTUALLY...AHEAD OF THE
NEXT SYSTEM. FASTER SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THIS NEXT CLIPPER COULD ARRIVE
BY LATE MONDAY...BUT CONSENSUS LOOKS MORE LIKE LATE MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY. HAVE A SLIGHT CHC IN LATE MONDAY THOUGH AGAIN BECAUSE
OF MODEL BIASES TYPICALLY NOT FAST ENOUGH.  THIS IS LIKELY TO BE
MORE MINOR EVENT IN TERMS OF ANY SNOW SHOWER ACCUMULATIONS IN
TYPICAL UPSLOPE AREAS COMPARED TO WEEKEND EVENT...YET FAR ENOUGH OUT
THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME FOR POTENTIAL AMPLIFICATION AND
CANADIAN IS MOST AGRESSIVE WITH THIS IDEA.

FINALLY BY WEDNESDAY THERE ARE SIGNS OF LARGE SCALE FLOW BECOMING
INCREASINGLY ZONAL...ESPECIALLY GFS SOLUTIONS...BUT SOME DEGREE OF
NW FLOW MAY CONTINUE WELL INTO NEXT WEEK SO NOT EXPECTING ANY MAJOR
WARM UPS THROUGH MID WEEK...WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING FAIRLY
SEASONABLE. BETTER CHANCE FOR WARM UP MAY COME LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1220 AM EST THURSDAY...

HEAVY RAIN ENDING EAST OF LYH/DAN BUT WILL STILL SEE A SMALL
WINDOW OF MVFR CIGS AT DANVILLE. OTHERWISE...THE MAIN COLD FRONT
ENTERING THE MOUNTAINS NOW WILL BRING VFR CONDITIONS TO SITES
ROA/LYH/DAN THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD...WITH ONLY SOME LIGHT RAIN
POSSIBLE EARLY.

THE WESTERN TERMINALS OF BLF/LWB WILL STAY IN MVFR AND MAY DROP TO
IFR AT BLF WITH SNOW SHOWERS INCREASING. SOME MVFR CIGS WILL EDGE
INTO BCB BY 09Z BUT RISE AGAIN TO VFR AFTER 13Z.

WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS ARE GOING TO BE AN ISSUE AS THEY GUST IN
THE 30 TO 40 KNOT RANGE EARLY THIS MORNING...AT MOST SITES BEFORE
DROPPING TO UNDER 30 KNOTS BY 18Z.

A CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AFTER
MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT-EARLY FRIDAY BRINGING A PERIOD OF MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS FROM SNOW SHOWERS. VFR CONDTIONS WILL THEN RETURN LATE
FRIDAY WITH ANOUTHER ROUND OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT
ASSOCIATED WITH YET ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE - CLIPPER TYPE
SYSTEM.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR MONDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
HEAVY RAIN IS NOW CONFINED TO MAINLY THE PIEDMONT. WE ARE
TRANSITIONING PRODUCTS FROM FLASH FLOOD TO AREAL FLOOD AS THE
RAINFALL RATES ARE DECREASING BUT THE RUNOFF WILL KEEP
STREAMS...CREEKS AND SOME RIVERS OUT OF THEIR BANKS OR FORECAST TO
COME OUT OF THEIR BANKS. WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING FOR
NOW UNTIL THE HEAVY RAIN CLEARS THE EAST...BUT SHOULD BE ABLE TO
CANCEL IT EARLY.

THIS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BASIN AVERAGE RAINFALL WILL RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT RISES ALONG AREA RIVERS WITH POTENTIAL FOR MINOR RIVER
FLOODING. MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING IS LIKELY ON THE WATAUGA
RIVER WHERE UPWARDS OF 6 INCHES OF RAIN HAS BEEN OBSERVED. A FLASH
FLOOD EMERGENCY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR WATUAGA COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA.
WATER RESCUES ARE UNDERWAY. PLEASE MONITOR RIVER FORECASTS CLOSELY
AS WE WILL BE UPDATING THE FORECASTS AS INFORMATION BECOMES
AVAILABLE FROM THE RIVER FORECAST CENTERS.

...EXPECT SLICK SPOTS ON ROADS DUE TO BLACK ICE AND SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS...

TEMPERATURES BEHIND A FRONT WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING BY DAWN. WET
ROADS WILL START TO FREEZE...ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES WILL BE THE FIRST TO FREEZE. IN
ADDITION...SNOW SHOWERS ARE GOING TO BE SCATTERED OVER THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS WITH AN INCH OR TWO POSSIBLE...SO THIS WILL ADD TO THE
SLIPPERY CONDITIONS.

TRAVEL WILL STAY HAZARDOUS THIS MORNING...DUE TO SLICK SPOTS AND
SOME FLOODING. MOTORISTS SHOULD SLOW DOWN AND ALLOW MORE TIME TO
REACH THEIR DESTINATION. YOU MAY EVEN NEED TO HAVE AN ALTERNATE
ROUTE PLANNED IN CASE OF FLOODED ROADS.
