AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
748 PM EDT WED JUL 24 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL HEAD SOUTH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT...AND ITS
ASSOCIATED UPPER TROUGH WILL CROSS THE REGION ON THURSDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA BY FRIDAY...AND SHIFT EAST TO
THE COAST BY SATURDAY. OUR NEXT COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
AREA SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

AN AXIS OF HIGHER INSTABILITY AND DECENT LOW LVL LAPSE RATES
EXISTS FROM WRN NC EAST INTO THE PIEDMONT OF NC/VA WITH SUBSIDENCE
AND DRIER AIR WORKING TOWARD SOUTHEAST WV. RADAR AT THE MOMENT
SHOWS CONVECTION SLOWLY TRUDGING EAST ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE
MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS NORTH OF LYNCHBURG VA...WITH ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND STORMS STARTING TO FADE FROM NE TN INTO THE FOOTHILLS
OF NORTH CAROLINA.

KEPT HIGHER POPS SITUATED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PIEDMONT OF
BUCKINGHAM SOUTH TO SOUTHSIDE VA AND THEN WEST TOWARD WILKES
COUNTY NC THIS EVENING WITH DRIER WX IN THE NORTHWEST.

18Z NAM/GFS...12Z ECMWF AND THE LATEST HRRR SHOWING OVERALL
AGREEMENT IN BRING A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/STORMS ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST CWA AROUND 03Z AS THE UPPER SHORTWAVE MOVES EAST OF OUT
TN. BUMPED POPS UP SOME HERE AND MAY NEED TO GO EVEN HIGHER IF
THIS HAPPENS. BIG CONSIDERATION IS INSTABILITY WEAKENING AS SUN
SETS BUT GIVEN HOW WARM IT IS OUT THERE NOW AND ADDING SOME UPPER
LIFT...THINKING IS CONVECTION SHOULD MAINTAIN ITSELF ACROSS THE
NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS PIEDMONT AND NWD TOWARD SOUTHSIDE VA INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH THE LIGHTNING SIDE OF THINGS SUBSIDING
OVERNIGHT.

PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION...
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE MOVED SOUTH THROUGH MOST...IF NOT
ALL...OF THE REGION BY MIDNIGHT. BEHIND THE FRONT...SURFACE AND
LOW LEVELS WINDS ARE PROGGED TO VEER NORTHEAST TO ALMOST EAST IN
SOME AREAS. THIS WILL HAVE THE IMPACT OF KEEPING LINGERING
MOISTURE IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER PINNED UP AGAINST THE CREST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE. WE ARE EXPECTING STRATUS CLOUDS TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT
AND LOWER AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES. THIS MAY ALSO HELP YIELD SOME
DRIZZLE IN THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. PATCHY OR AREAS OF FOG ARE
ALSO EXPECTED ALONG AND NEAR THE PORTION OF THE BLUE RIDGE
SOUTHWEST OF ROANOKE. THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT WILL ALSO HELP
MAINTAIN SOME SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE REGION. LOW
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE AROUND 5 TO 8 DEGREES COOLER THAN
TEMPERATURES REALIZED THIS MORNING THANKS TO LOWERING DEW POINTS
BEHIND THE FRONT.

ON THURSDAY...CLOUD COVER WILL BE SLOW TO ERODE...ESPECIALLY ALONG
AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE SOUTHWEST OF ROANOKE. THIS REGION WILL BE
CLOSEST TO THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT AS IT DEVELOPS A SMALL BUCKLE IN
IT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE PARENT UPPER TROUGH. ALSO...SURFACE
AND LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL HAVE A GREATER EASTERLY COMPONENT. THIS
POINTS TOWARDS THE AREA KEEPING THE CLOUDS LONGER WITH ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE SIMILAR
OR ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN TEMPERATURES OF TODAY ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS. OVER THE PIEDMONT...HIGHS WILL BE AROUND 10 DEGREES
COOLER THAN THOSE REALIZED TODAY.

&&

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

THE SHORT TERM WILL BE DOMINATED BY A BROAD EASTERN U.S.
TROUGH...CONTINUALLY REINFORCED BY UPSTREAM SHORT WAVES. AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE SHORT TERM...THE TROUGH AXIS ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT EAST
OF THE AREA AS A COASTAL LOW MOVES UP AND JUST OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC
COAST. HOWEVER...A STRONG UPSTREAM SHORT WAVE MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT
OF ALBERTA...WILL SHIFT THE TROUGH AXIS BACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY
SATURDAY. WITH SUBSIDENCE EXPECTED BEHIND THE DEPARTING COASTAL LOW
AND NOTABLY DRY AIR...DEW POINTS IN THE 50S/LOW 60S...ADVECTING INTO
THE NW HALF OF THE CWA...HAVE CONFINED SLIGHT CHC POPS TO THE FAR
SOUTHEAST AND POTENTIAL EASTERLY FLOW UPSLOPE AREAS IN THE NW NC
MOUNTAINS AT THE BEGINNING. UPSLOPE EASTERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE
SATURDAY ALONG THE ALLEGHANYS AND BLUE RIDGE OF NW NC...SO HAVE
CONTINUED TO INCREASE POPS IN THE WESTERN AREAS AS A RESULT FOR FRI
AFTERNOON. BY SATURDAY...OUR ATTENTION TURNS TO THE UPSTREAM DIGGING
TROUGH...WHICH SHOULD BE THE NEXT WIDESPREAD PCPN EVENT FOR OUR CWA.
TOO FAR OUT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT RAINFALL AMOUNTS...BUT THIS WOULD
BE THE NEXT TIME FRAME FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE OR FLASH FLOOD
THREAT. HAVE GONE AHEAD AND ADVERTISED LIKELY POPS FOR SAT
AFTERNOON/EVENING IN THE WEST.

SOMEWHAT COOLER MIN TEMPS WILL BE NOTED AT THE
BEGINNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST WITH DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE
50S ACROSS THE ALLEGHANYS. LOWS SHOULD BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S IN
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ACROSS SW VA/NW NC/SE WV. BY SATURDAY...WITH
SW FLOW RETURNING AND INCREASING MOISTURE...MIN TEMPERATURES WILL
CREEP CLOSER TO NORMAL. MAX TEMPS SHOULD AVERAGE JUST BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH THE PERIOD. OVERALL...CONTINUED BELOW NORMAL AS MOST OF THIS
SUMMER HAS BEEN SO FAR.

&&

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

BROAD UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MUCH OF THE
LONG TERM AS WELL. BY MID NEXT WEEK...UPPER FLOW TENDS TO BECOME
MORE ZONAL. THE STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL REMAIN WELL WEST OF
THE REGION ACROSS THE WEST OR SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
WOULD EXPECT SHRA/TSRA TO DECREASE SUN-MON AS THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS
AGAIN SHIFTS EAST OF THE CWA. HAVE CONFINED POPS...AND GENERALLY
SLIGHT AT BEST...TO THE FAR SE AND NW NC MOUNTAINS AS WE MOVE INTO
MON. THE NEXT UPSTREAM TROUGH...MORE OF A KINEMATIC/ZONAL SHORT WAVE
AT THAT TIME...WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INCREASING SHRA/TSRA BACK INTO
THE REGION BY WED...SO HAVE ADVERTISED LIKELY POPS IN THAT TIME
FRAME. AS WITH THE SHORT TERM PERIODS...MAX/MIN TEMPS WILL REMAIN
NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT THIS
TIME...THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY MAJOR WEATHER CONCERN THROUGH
WED...BUT AS USUAL...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE AND WITH
ANTECEDENT WET CONDITIONS...ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING COULD
OCCUR...MAINLY SUN OR AGAIN WED.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH CONVECTION INTO OVERNIGHT AS MODELS SHOWING
BETTER CONCENTRATION AFFECTING THE DANVILLE AREA. WILL HOLD OFF
ADDING PREDOMINANT SHOWERS HERE BUT WILL HAVE VCSH AT 03Z TIL 05Z.
AMENDMENTS WILL OCCUR IF SOMETHING LOOKS TO BE HEADING THAT WAY.

THE WIND FLOW OVERNIGHT WILL BE WEAK AND VARY FROM THE NORTHWEST
TO THE NORTHEAST. MODELS ATTEMPTING TO SHOW EITHER A FOG OR
STRATUS SCENARIO AS THE LOW LVL WINDS TURN MORE TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST.

THINKING THAT FOG WILL BE MORE PROBLEMATIC IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH
SOME STRATUS FORMING ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE BRINGING
CIGS TO MVFR...WITH POSSIBLE IFR/LIFR AT LWB/BLF/BCB. THINK THE
PIEDMONT CLOUDS UP AS WELL BUT CIGS HERE SHOULD STAY VFR OR MAYBE
HIGH END MVFR. WILL HAVE TO WATCH LYH FOR POTENTIAL FOG GIVEN THE
SHOWERS NEARBY THIS EVENING.

FOR THURSDAY...THE FLOW REMAINS OUT OF THE NORTHEAST TO AT TIME
EAST...SO CIGS MAY LINGER THROUGH THIS PERIOD...WITH VFR EXPECTED
AFTER 14-16Z. ANY CONVECTION WILL BE CONFINED TO THE BLUE RIDGE
SOUTH OF ROANOKE BUT CANNOT RULE OUT BCB/ROA AND MAYBE EVEN BLF
SEEING SHOWERS OR STORMS NEARBY.

THURSDAY EVENING...THE AXIS OF THE UPPER TROUGH PASSES OVERHEAD.
EVEN THOUGH DRIER INTRUSION OF AIR ARRIVES...THE FOG WILL BE AN
ISSUE AT BCB/LWB GIVEN WET SOILS AND LIGHT WIND.

FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO AND THEN
EAST OF THE REGION WHILE THE UPPER TROUGH/LOW STALLS ALONG THE
COAST OF THE CAROLINAS. CONDITIONS WILL BE PRIMARILY VFR...HOWEVER
NIGHTTIME MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VALLEY FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE.

ON SATURDAY...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE
AGAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AS LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES
SOUTH ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE HIGH...AND ON THE EAST SIDE OF AN
APPROACHING TROUGH.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MORE
LIKELY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND THEN CROSSES THE REGION.

ON MONDAY HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE AREA. OTHER THAN SOME EARLY
MORNING MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VALLEY FOG...VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED.
