AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
747 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL THROUGH THE AREA...BRINGING A PERIOD OF
HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG THIS EVENING...FOLLOWED BY FALLING
TEMPERATURES AND MORE GUSTY WINDS LATER TONIGHT AND 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 THURSDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM WEDNESDAY...

QUASI-LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (QLCS - SQUALL LINE) WILL RACE
EAST OF MAIN COLD FRONT THIS EVENING. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
NUMBER 22 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10PM EAST OF BLUE RIDGE TO ACCOUNT
FOR THIS FAST MOVING LINE OF SEVERE SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS. WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THIS LINE OF CONVECTION.

AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE QLCS SHOULD SEE A LULL IN THE
WIND...ALTHOUGH PERIODS OF RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...MAY CONTINUE UP
UNTIL THE FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER TONIGHT. SURFACE COLD FRONT IS
CURRENTLY MOVING EAST THROUGH THE OHIO/TN VALLEYS AND IS PROGGED
TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT...BRINING AN ABRUPT CHANGE
IN TEMPERATURE AND SHIFT IN WIND DIRECTION. ANY LULL IN THE WIND
PRIOR TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL INCREASE AGAIN POST FRONTAL WITH
STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BRINGING STRONG WIND GUSTS AND FALLING
TEMPERATURES FOR THE LATE NIGHT...AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY
THURSDAY.

HAVE EXTENDED THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS/ADVISORIES THROUGH 4PM
THURSDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR BOTH PRE AND POST FRONTAL WINDS. FLASH
FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN EXPANDED EAST THROUGH SOUTHSIDE VA THROUGH
0400 AM THURSDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN ANTICIPATED ALONG
AND JUST BEHIND QLCS. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL PERSIST...EVEN
IN THE WAKE OF THE QLCS...UNTIL ACTUAL COLD FRONT SWEEPS THE
DEEPER MOISTURE EAST OF THE AREA. CRITICAL FLOOD THRESHOLDS ARE
BEING MET THROUGHOUT THE AREA WITH RAIN AMOUNTS EXCEEDING FLASH
FLOOD GUIDANCE...AND IN SOME CASES SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE FFG. RIVER
GAGES ARE RESPONDING ACCORDINGLY...HYDROGRAPHS GOING
VERTICAL...ESP ALONG THE WATAUGA...HOLSTON...CLINCH...AND
HEADWATERS OF THE NEW RIVER. THIS IS WHERE UPWARDS OF 3 INCHES
HAVE RAIN HAS OCCURRED. FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCIES HAVE BEEN
ISSUED...WATAUGA COUNTY...WHERE RAIN AMOUNTS HAVE EXCEEDED 5
INCHES. THE WATUAGA RIVER WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE MODERATE TO MAJOR
FLOODING. THIS EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS LIFE THREATENING! WINTERTIME
SOILS WILL NOT ABSORB WATER LIKE THE SUMMER...ANYTHING MUCH OVER
AN INCH THIS TIME OF YEAR WILL GO INTO PURE RUNOFF...AND MUDSLIDES
ARE AN ALMOST CERTAINTY WITH THIS AMOUNT OF RAINFALL.

LOCAL MODELS INDICATE THE RAIN WILL COME TO AN ABRUBT END AFTER
MIDNIGHT...AROUND 1AM IN THE WEST...CLOSER TO 4 AM IN THE
EAST...ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. AT SOME POINT
MAY NEED TO CONSIDER WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES FOR THE FAR WESTERN
CWA...FROM WESTERN GREENBRIER...SOUTHWARD THROUGH BLUEFIELD AND
INTO THE HIGH COUNTRY OF NORTH CAROLINA. RAPID FALL IN TEMPERATURE
IS EXPECTED AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL RESULT IN CHANGE OVER
FROM RAIN TO SNOW. THIS CHANGE IS PROGGED TO TAKE PLACE AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW
ACROSS THESE MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS THURSDAY MORNING.

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 /THURSDAY NIGHT 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 /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 700 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

PRIMARILY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT WITH LCL IFR DUE TO HEAVY RAIN. THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE
UNTIL THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT BETWEEN 06-09 UTC (1AM-4AM)TIME
FRAME. THE AREA IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BECOME WESTERLY
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT WILL OCCUR
WITH POTENTIAL FOR SURFACE GUSTS OF 35 KTS. PASSAGE OF THE COLD
FRONT WILL ALSO BRING COLDER TEMPERATURES WITH RAIN CHANGING TO
SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS. SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED AT
BLF/LWB/BCB AFTER 0400 AM.

STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY
THURSDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING LATE. 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.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
HEAVY RAIN IS ONGOING ACROSS THE HYDROLOGIC SERVICE AREA. IT NOW
APPEARS...PER THE STATIONARY NATURE OF THE RAINS...THAT AS MUCH
AS 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN WILL OCCUR OVER THE HEADWATERS OF THE NEW
RIVER...THE HOLSTON AND CLINCH RIVERS...AND THE DAN RIVER. 1 TO 2
INCHES OF RAIN IS LIKELY ACROSS THE HEADWATERS OF THE
ROANOKE...JAMES...AND GREENBRIER.

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.
