Special Weather Statement, NWS Blacksburg, VA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
142 PM EDT TUE AUG 13 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PASS ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. THEN A LARGE HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BUILD IN OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND THE MID
ATLANTIC TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...BRINGING SOMEWHAT COOLER AND
DRIER WEATHER. THIS WILL LAST LATE INTO THE WEEK BEFORE MOISTURE
STARTS TO SLOWLY RETURN BY THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1230 PM EDT TUESDAY...

AT 16Z/NOON MSAS SURFACE AND DEW POINT ANALYSIS HAD COLD FRONT
FROM WESTERN NEW YORK THROUGH SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. SATELLITE
PICTURES WERE SHOWING BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER OVER THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA. BEST INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN TO
THE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA...MIXED-LAYER CONVECTIVE AVAILABLE
POTENTIAL ENERGY WAS ALREADY AROUND 2000 J/KG IN SOUTHEAST
VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA. WILL LEAVE PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...ALL AHEAD
OF THE APPROACHING FRONT.

FRONT PUSHES WELL EAST BY EARLY EVENING...QUICKLY LOWERING THREAT
OF SHWRS/STORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT. KEPT CHC
POP GOING IN EAST UNTIL MIDNIGHT...BUT MY FEELING IS THIS MAY MOVE
OUT EVEN QUICKER. ALSO THERE IS LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ON
WEST SLOPES BEHIND FRONT AND MAYBE SOME SPRINKLES OR DRIZZLE IS
POSSIBLE FOR A WHILE THIS EVENING BACK THERE AS WELL...SO KEPT LOW
CHC POPS INTO EARLY EVENING AS WELL.

TEMPERATURE WISE...AM LEANING TO COOLER MET GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS GIVEN
EXPECTED CLOUD COVER...AND EVEN NUDGED DOWN A DEG OR TWO FROM
THERE. ONE AREA THAT MAY END SEEING A LITTLE MORE SUN IS FAR
SOUTHEAST AND IF THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST A COUPLE HOURS OF IT
DURING THE AFTERNOON THE LOW 90S TEMPS THE MAV IS ADVERTISING
COULD BE REALIZED...SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS. TONIGHT WE MAY SEE
THE FIRST 50S IN THE WEST IN QUITE SOME TIME WITH LOWER DEW PTS
MOVING IN AND SOME CLEARING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT TUESDAY...

LOOKING AT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS FOR WEDNESDAY...POSSIBLY WITH A FEW
LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST WIND UPSLOPE AREAS DURING THE
MORNING...AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD IN FROM THE
UPPER MIDWEST. THIS AIRMASS WILL BRING A SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN TO OUR
AREA...WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS RANGING FROM 7 TO 9 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
FOR MID AUGUST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST DURING THE DAY...AND
THEN BUILD SOUTHWARD ALONG THE EASTERN FACE OF THE APPALACHIANS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHICH WILL SHIFT OUR WINDS TO A NORTHEASTERLY
DIRECTION.

THURSDAY WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY DRY AS WELL...ALTHOUGH MAY SEE A
LITTLE LIGHT RAIN ENTER THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS AND THE
MOUNTAIN EMPIRE ON THURSDAY AS WINDS AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE
PICK UP MOISTURE FROM UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES RIDING ALONG THE COLD
FRONT STALLED WELL TO OUR SOUTH. RAINFALL WILL REMAIN ISOLATED
HOWEVER...AND WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO OUTDOOR PLANS AT THIS
POINT. THE COOL EASTERLY FLOW WILL AGAIN KEEP TEMPERATURES SEVERAL
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...WITH MOST AREAS HOLDING IN THE 70S FOR
AFTERNOON HIGHS.

WILL SEE A BETTER RETURN OF MOISTURE FOR FRIDAY AS A DEEP UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. WHILE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE IN THE LOW LEVELS...WINDS ALOFT
ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY SOUTHWESTERLY AS
THE TROUGH AMPLIFIES. THIS UPPER FLOW WOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR
CARRYING DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE CAROLINAS...WHICH WOULD POTENTIALLY
TRIGGER SPOTTY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR OUR AREA SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 81.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT TUESDAY...

AS WE PROGRESS INTO THE WEEKEND...CURRENT MODEL TRENDS OFFER A
STALLED DEEPENING LOW OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WITH THE LOW ALONG THE
GULF BEING TRANSPORTED NORTHWARD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE CENTRAL
CONUS TROUGH. THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR BETTER DYNAMICS AND MOISTURE FLOW
ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL LEAD TO BETTER CHANCE OF LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY...AND THEN BETTER
CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS BY SUNDAY.  WHILE ACTIVITY
MAY TAPER OFF A BIT ON MONDAY...THE CENTRAL CONUS TROUGH WOULD STILL
BE TO OUR WEST...AND BE A FEATURE TO POTENTIALLY INFLUENCE OUR
WEATHER PAST DAY 7.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT TUESDAY...

COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA INTO SOUTHERN
INDIANA. BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS JUST STARTING TO
ORGANIZE IN CENTRAL WEST VIRGINIA AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. THIS BAND
WAS TOO FAR WEST AT THIS TIME TO GET A REASONABLE TIMING OF
POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS AT KLWB AND KBLF AT THIS TIME.

HAVE FRONT CROSSING THROUGH FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST...
REACHING KBLF AND KLWB JUST BEFORE 00Z AND EXITING KDAN BY 03Z.
SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE
FRONT. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOWED MUCH DRIER HIGH AND MID LEVEL AIR
ADVECTING INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT. ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
REMAINS ON THE WEST SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIANS FOR
STRATUS...INCLUDING AT KBLF AND KLWB. LOWER CONFIDENCE FOR HOW LOW
CEILINGS MAY GET AT KBCB OVERNIGHT.

ANY MOISTURE THAT REMAINS ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL QUICKLY MIX
OUT AFTER SUNRISE...WITH VFR CONDITIONS AT KBLF/KLWB...AND
KBCB/KDAN/KROA/KLYH/KDAN BY 15Z. WINDS COME AROUND TO THE NORTH
AND NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
COVER MUCH OF THE REGION WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

CLOUDS INCREASE ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH PRECIPITATION...
AS WELL AS MVFR TO IFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS...LIKELY ACROSS THE AREA
ON SUNDAY AS A SURFACE TROF DEVELOPS IN THE GULF COAST REGION.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 1230 PM EDT TUESDAY...

NO CHANGES TO FLASH FLOOD WATCH. SOME AREAS RECEIVED 3"+ OVER THE
MOUNTAIN EMPIRE OF SW VA...INCLUDING THE RICHLANDS AREA LAST
EVENING.

THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN REMAINS IN THE AREA
UNTIL THE COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH.
