Area forecast discussion, Apr 29, 7:17 AM EDT, 3 hours 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
717 AM EDT TUE APR 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN JUST TO THE SOUTH AND WEST
OF THE REGION TODAY...AND THEN EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTH AS A WARM
FRONT BY EARLY WEDNESDAY. A LARGE AND COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM
LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST
THROUGH MIDWEEK. THIS SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SOME WITH VERY HEAVY
RAIN AND A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 305 AM EDT TUESDAY...

AXIS OF HEAVIER RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT ALOFT TO THE WEST
HAS SHIFTED FARTHER EAST A BIT SOONER THAN EXPECTED WITH
DOWNPOURS INCLUDING SOME TSRA AFFECTING THE FAR SW ATTM. THIS
APPEARS TO BE ALONG THE VERY STRONG CONVERGENCE AXIS THAT HAS NOW
INTERSECTED THE RESIDUAL BOUNDARY TO THE WEST...IN TURN ACTING TO
ENHANCE RAINFALL ESPCLY ALONG THE I-77 CORRIDOR. APPEARS THIS
CONVECTION...AT LEAST ON AN ELEVATED BASIS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD
NORTH INTO THE STRONG WEDGE AS MODELS SHOW AN INDUCED WAVE ALOFT
ALSO SLIDING ACROSS. THUS HAVE UPPED POPS TO CATEGORICAL A BIT
SOONER THIS MORNING ALONG WITH STARTING THE GOING WATCH EARLY THIS
MORNING FOR THE WEST. COULD SEE A QUICK 1-2 INCHES WITHIN THIS
SHRA AND EMBEDDED CONVECTION BEFORE THE LIFT WEAKENS THIS MORNING.
MODELS THEN RELOAD ALONG THE ACTUAL BOUNDARY ALOFT OVER THE WEST
THIS AFTERNOON AND SHIFT ANOTHER BAND OF HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA EAST
REACHING THE PIEDMONT LATE WHERE INSTABILITY WILL BE SLOWLY
INCREASING OVER THE FAR SE. AT THE SAME TIME WILL GRAUDALLY SEE
THE WEDGE WEAKEN BUT PERHAPS EVEN SLOWER THAN THE NAM GIVEN PRECIP
INTO THE COOL POOL EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS SUPPORTS KEEPING BEST
DEEPER CONVECTIVE COVERAGE OVER THE FAR WEST AND SE BUT ADDED IN
ELSW AS WELL PER LIFT ABOVE THE INVERSION. STILL APPEARS BEST
FLOODING THREAT OVER THE WEST-SW WHERE WILL BE PRIMED BY EARLIER
HEAVY RAINFALL. OTRW CONTINUED HIGH POPS OVERALL TODAY WITH TEMPS
QUITE TRICKY GIVEN THE FAST EXODUS OF THE WEDGE BY THE GFS AND
SLOWER OFF THE NAM. BASED ON TRENDS...WENT WITH THE CHILLY MET MOS
AND LOWERED TEMPS WITH LATE DAY HIGHS LIKELY SOUTH AND EAST.

WEDGE SLOWLY LIFTS NORTH THROUGH THE REGION WITH THE WARM FRONT
OVERNIGHT ALLOWING SHALLOW INSTABILITY TO PUSH NORTH ALONG WITH
BETTER SHEAR. EARLIER BOUNDARY AND HOW FAR EAST IT GETS KEY TO
EXACTLY WHERE TRAINING OF HEAVIER RAINFALL COULD DEVELOP THIS
EVENING ALONG WITH DEEPER CONVECTIVE CELLS WHICH WILL LIKELY DEVELOP
JUST EAST OF THIS AXIS. GUIDANCE SHOWS ANOTHER ROUND OF GOOD
DIFFLUENCE ALOFT OVER THE BLUE RIDGE AND POINTS EAST LATER TONIGHT
AS ANOTHER WEAK WAVE RIDES AROUND THE UPPER LOW AND AIDS MOISTURE
TRANSPORT. APPEARS BEST CHANCE FOR FLOODING EASTERN SLOPES AND
POINTS EAST OVERNIGHT WITH AN INCREASING LOW TOPPED SEVERE THREAT
ESPCLY SE AND PIEDMONT ALONG THE EXITING BOUNDARY. THEREFORE BEEFED
UP THE THUNDER COVERAGE LATER TONIGHT WITH CAT POPS AND TEMPS
BASICALLY RISING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH DAWN.
&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM EDT TUESDAY...

THE TWO MAIN CONCERNS FOR WEDNESDAY ARE HEAVY RAIN AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THERE REMAINS UNCERTAINTIES
REGARDING THE EXTENSIVENESS OF CONVECTION EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
WAITING TO AFTER 15Z WEDNESDAY TO MENTION THE HEAVY RAIN...BUT
ALLOW FOR SOME MODERATE RAIN WITH THUNDERSTORMS FOR EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

STILL LOOKS LIKE A BAND OF STORMS COULD LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE
REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT THE MORE LIKELY TIMING OF
THE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINS BEING MIDDAY TO AFTERNOON AHEAD
OF COLD FRONT.

QUESTION ON HOW FAST THE STRONG SSW FLOW JUST ABOVE STABLE LAYER
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...COMBINED WITH ANY HEAVIER RAIN BANDS...TO
MIX OUT THE SHALLOW WEDGE WEDNESDAY MORNING. STORMS THAT DEVELOP
AHEAD OF COLD FRONT THEN WILL BE DEVELOPING IN UNSTABLE SFC-BASED
AIRMASS..WITH FAIRLY STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR. SWODY2 HAS EXPANDED
THE SLIGHT RISK NORTHWEST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THE MAIN
THREAT FOR THE POTENTIAL OF WINDS AND HAIL...EVEN ISOLATED
TORNADOES. THE BEST INSTABILITY WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE PIEDMONT
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

WPC CONTINUED THE THREAT FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IN DAY 2 OUTLOOK
FOR WEDNESDAY. THE PLACEMENT...DEVELOPMENT AND TIMING OF THE
HEAVY RAIN WILL NEED TO BE MONITOR FOR FLASH FLOOD THREAT. WHERE
THE HEAVY RAIN FALLS TUESDAY WILL PRIME THE LOCATIONS FOR FLOODING
ON WEDNESDAY AND AND THEN EVENTUALLY RIVER FLOOD THREAT. PLAYED
HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY CLOSER TO THE COOLER ADJMET WITH
READINGS FROM THE UPPER 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE UPPER 70S IN
THE PIEDMONT. FELT THE EXTENT OF THE LOWER 80S ON THE ADJMAV WAS
OVERDONE WITH THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION.

MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL MOVE EAST OUT OF AREA WEDNESDAY
EVENING INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS COLD FRONT HEADS SOUTHEAST TO
COAST. LOW TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL VARY FROM THE UPPER
40S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 60 DEGREES IN THE PIEDMONT. SOME
LIGHT SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO THURSDAY MAINLY ALONG THE WESTERN
SLOPES. HIGHS THURSDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S IN THE
NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 70S IN THE PIEDMONT. NOTICEABLY
COOLER AIR MOVES IN THURSDAY NIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES THURSDAY
NIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO
AROUND 50 DEGREES IN THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1PM EDT MONDAY...

12Z GFS COMING INTO LINE WITH THE EURO FOR THE EXTENDED SO CONFIDENCE
IS GROWING IN THE FORECAST. EXPECTING PATTERN TO MIGRATE FROM A CLOSED
LOW OVER THE MIDSECTION OF THE COUNTRY TO A SLOW MOVING BROAD TROF
WITH THE CLOSED LOW CENTER RECONFIGURING FURTHER NORTH. THIS WILL
ALLOW THE TROF AXIS TO FINALLY MOVE TO OUR EAST LATE
SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY A BROAD FLAT HIGH BUILDING WITH NW FLOW
ALOFT INTO NEXT WEEK.

FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE MOSTLY DRY WITH A CHC FOR SOME UPSLOPE SHOWERS WEST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE. SATURDAY WILL FEATURE A HIGHER CHC OF UPSLOPE
SHOWERS AS THE SHORT WAVE KICKER ROTATES AROUND THE BASE OF THE
UPPER TROF AND A COLD FRONT SURGES THROUGH THE AREA. MAY SEE SOME
SHOWER ACTIVITY CARRY OUT INTO THE PIEDMONT GIVEN THE INSTABILITY
IN THE COLD POOL...BUT WILL NOT MENTION ANY THUNDER ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA ATTM.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR SUNDAY MORNING AND IT LOOKS LIKE DECENT RAD
COOLING CONDITIONS. THERE MAY BE SOME FROST OR FREEZE CONCERNS TO
CONSIDER WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE SINCE THE LETHARGIC GROWING SEASON WILL
HOPEFULLY BE UNDERWAY BY THEN.

AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK...WE WILL WIND UP WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
DRAPED OVER US WHICH SHOULD KEEP PCPN IN THE FORECAST MON AND TUE.
BELIEVE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TO RIDE ALONG THIS
BOUNDARY AND AFFECT THE AREA BUT DETAILS ARE SKETCHY AT BEST AND WILL
NOT ATTEMPT TO GET FANCY THAT FAR OUT.
&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 645 AM EDT TUESDAY...

OVERALL PERSISTENCE FORECAST WITH WIDESPREAD LOW CONDITIONS
RANGING FROM MVFR/IFR IN THE WEST TO IFR/VLIFR CIGS IN THE EAST
THIS MORNING. BANDS OF SHRA/TSRA MOVING ACROSS WILL ALSO BRING
PERIODS OF MVFR VSBYS THROUGH THE MORNING AS SHOWERS CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP AND MOVE IN FROM THE SW. EXCEPTION AT TIMES WILL BE BLF
WHICH HANGS RIGHT ALONG THE WEDGE FRONT AND WILL LIKELY OSCILLATE
BETWEEN VFR AND MVFR PENDING DEGREE OF SHRA IN THE AREA.

ONCE THIS BATCH OF RAINFALL TAPERS SOME...EXPECTING ANOTHER
HEAVIER BAND TO AFFECT THE WESTERN HALF OF THE REGION EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON BEFORE TRANSLATING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE LATER IN THE
DAY. OVERALL NOT SEEING ANYTHING IMPROVING ABOVE MVFR THIS TAF
PERIOD OUTSIDE OF BLF. WINDS WILL BE MAINLY OUT OF THE NE-SE. SOME
STRONGER WINDS MAY IMPACT BLF AHEAD OF THE NEXT WAVE...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW TO INCREASE MORE THAN GUSTS TO 25-30 KTS AT
TIMES THIS MORNING AND AGAIN THIS EVENING.

BANDS OF HEAVIER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE
INTO TONIGHT WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN LIKELY MAKING FOR
WIDESPREAD IFR ESPCLY FROM THE BLUE RIDGE EAST. A DEEP AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE ALOFT SLOWLY DRIFTS INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST
WEST WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH BY EVENING.
SUB VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY WITH BANDS
OF SHRA/TSRA. APPEARS ENOUGH DRYING ALOFT TO PERHAPS SEE
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR ACROSS THE EAST LATER THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH
MVFR LIKELY LINGERING AT TIMES ACROSS THE SE WEST VA LOCATIONS
INTO FRIDAY. A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY ON SATURDAY WITH A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION AND MVFR
CONDITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 400 AM EDT TUESDAY...

AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN HAS ALREADY SHIFTED EAST INTO THE SW PORTIONS
OF THE AREA WITH A GOOD HALF INCH TO ONE INCH OF RAIN LIKELY ALONG
THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH DAYBREAK. THIS COMBO WITH THE RAINFALL OF A
QUARTER TO ONE INCH FROM MONDAY WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF MORE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING AS ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
STORMS ARRIVE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. GIVEN THE EARLIER
ARRIVAL OF RAINFALL THIS MORNING HAVE GONE AHEAD AND STARTED THE
WATCH THIS MORNING OVER PARTS OF THE MOUNTAINS WHERE HEAVY RAIN IS
OCCURRING AND LEFT THE REMAINDER OF THE WATCH TO START LATER
TODAY.

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL ONLY INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF FLASH
FLOODING. THE MORE RAIN...THE HIGHER THE THREAT. WITH WIDESPREAD
TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF RAINFALL EXPECTED BY THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA FLOODING OF AT LEAST SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS
IS LIKELY.

THERE IS AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR MAINSTEM RIVER FLOODING BY MID TO
LATE THIS WEEK. BUT STILL TOO EARLY FOR HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WHICH
RIVERS AND HOW WIDESPREAD FLOODING WILL BE. STAY TUNED.

LATEST RUNS OF ENSEMBLE MODEL FORECAST FROM THE GEFS AND THE NAEFS
WERE SUGGESTING AN INCREASING PROBABILITY OF MODERATE RIVER FLOODING
ON THE DAN RIVER AT SOUTH BOSTON AND ON THE ROANOKE AT RANDOLPH.
FLOODING POSSIBILITIES ARE ALSO INDICATED FOR PARTS OF THE JAMES AND
GREENBRIER RIVER BASINS.
