Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 8:15 PM EDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
815 PM EDT WED JUL 10 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WILL PUSH A COLD
FRONT INTO THE REGION THURSDAY. DISTURBANCES IN ADVANCE OF THIS
TROUGH WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY ACROSS THE REGION. BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...COOLER...DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY
INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 800 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

STORMS THIS EVENING HAVE BEEN VERY RAIN EFFICIENT WITH RATES OF 4
INCHES AN HOUR. THE ROANOKE REGIONAL AIRPORT RECEIVED 3.39 INCHES
OF RAIN IN ABOUT AN HOURS TIME FRAME...3.88 SO FAR FOR THE DAY...
AND NOT A GOOD MIX WHEN YOU FOCUS IT ON-TOP OF ASSFAULT AND
CONCRETE...WHICH TENDS TO MAXIMIZE THE RUNOFF. WATER RESCUES
SEEMED TO BECOME COMMON PLACE THERE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. THE
ROANOKE RIVER JUMPED 5 TO 8 FEET JUST FROM THE LOCAL RUNOFF.
LOOKING FOR AN EXAMPLE OF A FLASH FLOOD... THERE YA GO.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO CONVERGE ON THE
PIEDMONT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE HAS NOT
BEEN WORKED OVER YET...CAPES STILL 1500-2000 J/KG THERE. THE LINE
OF STORMS OVER WV SHOULD WEAKEN AS THEY CROSS THE MOUNTAINS PER
STABLE AIR THAT HAS BEEN CREATED BY THE STORMS THAT OCCURRED
OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN PART OF OUR CWA ALREADY. MAY SEE A
WIND GUST OF 20-30 KTS AS THE GUST FRONT ENTERS OUR WRN
COUNTIES...BUT THINK THE BIGGEST THING WE WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
IS POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER BURST OF RAINFALL.

SURFACE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THURSDAY. NOT CONFIDENT ON HOW MUCH STORM ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP
ALONG THE FRONT PER CONVECTIVE DEBRIS THAT WILL BE LEFT IN PLACE
FROM THIS EVENINGS STORMS. PWATS WILL REMAIN HIGH...BUT THE CAPE
WILL BE DEPENDANT ON HOW QUICK THE CLOUDS BREAK THURSDAY MORNING.

WITH PWATS RANGING FROM 1.70 TO 2.0 INCHES AND A SLOW STORM
MOTION...WILL LEAVE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS IS. FFG VALUES REMAIN
VERY LOW FROM RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL...AND THIS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
WILL RUNOFF MORE EASILY.

USED A BLEND OF THE HRRR AND THE RNK-WRFARW FOR POPS TONIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES EAST ON THURSDAY TAPER OFF POPS
FROM THE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. A STRONGER THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE
IN THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ON THURSDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL OF HEAVY
RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

THURSDAY EVENING...SURFACE FRONT WILL BE WORKING ITS WAY ACROSS
THE PIEDMONT WITH MODELS TAKING THE FRONT TO THE SANDHILLS OF NC
BEFORE STALLING FRIDAY. NOT SURE HOW MUCH CLEARING WILL TAKE PLACE
BEHIND THE FRONT AS THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES BLOCKY WITH THE
UPPER TROUGH ALSO STALLING ALOFT. AT THE VERY LEAST THINK DRYING
WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS AS THE AS WINDS TURN
NORTHERLY...THEN NORTHEASTERLY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TRYS TO
WEDGE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. ATTM...WILL REMAIN OPTOMISTIC
AND KEEP FORECAST DRY FOR FRIDAY THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF
OF THE WEEKEND. AT SOME POINT WINDS WILL VEER WITH SOUTHEASTERLY
FLOW BRINGING MOISTURE BACK INTO THE FORECAST.

WENT WITH THE COOLER MAV MOS WITH THE THINKING THAT MORE CLOUD
COVER AND A NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE WIND COMPONENT WILL KEEP THE
NUMBERS DOWN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

CAN'T SEEM TO SHAKE THE WET PATTERN.

MODEL GUIDANCE GENERALLY AGREES THE UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE EAST
COAST WILL BECOME STUCK...POSSIBLY CUTTING OFF AND RETROGRADING
NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL QUICKLY TURN THE LOW LEVEL FLOW...WITH WINDS
CHANNELLING DEEPER MOISTURE BACK INTO THE FORECAST AREA FAVORING
HIGHER POPS.

AS FOR TEMPS...DO NOT SEE ANY EXTREMES. 85H TEMPS HOVER AROUND
+16 DEG C FOR MOST OF THE WEEK. WITH A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS THIS
SHOULD YEILD HIGH TEMPS MAINLY IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 800 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

BKN LINE OF MVFR/IFR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...AS UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

UNTIL THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST OF THE AREA THURSDAY EVENING...
EXPECT WIDESPREAD MVFR WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CIGS PER VERY MOIST
BOUNDARY LAYER.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...
MODELS INITIALLY PUSH DEEP CONVECTION TO THE COASTAL AREAS FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY WITH SOME CLEARING OVER THE APPALACHIANS IN THE WAKE
OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROF. RETURN FLOW HOWEVER...IS EXPECTED TO
BRING THE THREAT OF SHOWERS BACK INTO THE FORECAST FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK...POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS SUNDAY. UNTIL THE MOISTURE
RETURNS...SHOULD SEE VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND...ASIDE FROM EARLY MORNING IFR BR/FG.
