AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
237 PM EDT SAT MAY 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE MOVING TOWARD THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS
TODAY...ORIENTING ITSELF WEST TO EAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO MID
ATLANTIC SUNDAY. A RIDGE BUILDS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY SENDING THIS
FRONT NORTH. A STRONGER COLD FRONT ARRIVES IN THE WEDNESDAY TIME
FRAME...SLOWING DOWN AS IT MOVES EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS LATER IN
THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1100 AM EDT SATURDAY...

ABUNDANT MOISTURE OVER AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS ASSOCIATED WITH
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD SHOWERS THIS
AFTERNOON. PRONOUNCED SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS LIFTING NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. BANDS OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS EXTEND SOUTH THROUGH THE EASTERN OHIO VALLEY AND
INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. PWATS OF 1.0 TO 1.4 COUPLED WITH
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND DYNAMIC LIFT AHEAD OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY
ALOFT WILL RESULT IN REGENERATION OF ACTIVITY THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ENDING ONLY AFTER SHORTWAVE EXITS THE
REGION TOWARD MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

SEVERE POTENTIAL TODAY WILL BE LIMITED BY CLOUD COVER...ALTHOUGH
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR SHOWER ACTIVITY AS IT MOVES EAST OF THE
MOUNTAINS LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. VISIBLE IMAGERY DOES INDICATE
MORE CLOUD BREAKS FROM THE PIEDMONT EAST...THUS SUPPORTING WARMER
TEMPERATURES THERE. DCAPE...OR THE POTENTIAL TO DRIVE STRONGER
THUNDERSTORM DOWNDRAFTS...IS RUNNING PRETTY HIGH SOUTHEAST OF
DANVILLE...VALUES OF 800-1200 J/KG. THIS SUGGESTS SHOWER ACTIVITY
WHICH MOVES INTO THIS SORT OF AIRMASS WILL HAVE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG GUSTY WINDS. .

NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST TEMPS TODAY. LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE LOW/MID 70S MOUNTAINS TO THE LOW
80S EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. CLOUDS AND SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS
MAY HOLD TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S...ESP ACROSS THE HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS.

PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT TONIGHT
WILL INTRODUCE A WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WIND SHIFT THAT WILL HELP
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DIMINISH QUICKLY THROUGH THE
EVENING. TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL REMAIN MILD...HOLDING
GENERALLY IN THE 50S. MAY SEE A PATCH OF LIGHT FOG AROUND SUNRISE
SUNDAY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE A HEAVY DOWNPOURS TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 430 AM EDT SATURDAY...

A GENERALLY SUMMERLIKE WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD
AS THE UPPER FLOW ACROSS THE CONTIGUOUS U.S. UNDERGOES CONSIDERABLE
AMPLIFICATION FROM A WESTERN U.S. TROUGH TO AN EASTERN U.S. RIDGE.
THE PATTERN WILL BE SLOW TO CHANGE THROUGH THE PERIOD AND THE UPPER
TROUGH WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH THIS PERIOD. WHAT IS
LEFT OF THE SATURDAY COLD FRONT WILL RETREAT NORTHWARD AS A WARM
FRONT BY SUN AFTERNOON. ALONG THIS VERY WEAK...DIFFUSE BOUNDARY...
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SHRA/TSRA ENHANCEMENT...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE ALLEGHANYS WHERE THE UPPER SUPPORT WILL BE SLIGHTLY
BETTER. HOWEVER...WITH HEIGHTS BUILDING ALOFT...CONVECTION WILL BE
LARGELY DIURNAL AND DRIVEN ALMOST ENTIRELY BY DIFFERENTIAL HEATING
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. HAVE LOWERED POPS FROM WHAT WAS EARLIER
ADVERTISED...MAINLY TO SLIGHT CHC POPS WEST AND NON-MENTIONABLE
POPS EAST.

FOR TUE...UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY ACROSS THE REGION...WITH
A 588DM UPPER RIDGE CENTERED ACROSS NC/SC AREA...RIDGING NORTHWARD
INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. 850MB TEMPS REMAIN IN THE +16C TO +17C
RANGE AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS STRONGLY CAPPED WITH 500MB TEMPS THE
WARMEST I HAVE SEEN SO FAR THIS YEAR...AROUND -10C. WITH NO
FORCING...ANY CONVECTION WILL BE ENTIRELY DRIVEN BY DIFFERENTIAL
HEATING ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PULSE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH SLIGHT CHC COVERAGE THE MOST EXPECTED...NONE
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH
HIGHS IN THE 70S MOUNTAINS AND 80S ELSEWHERE...NEAR 90 ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT. LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED SUN-TUE...WITH MON AND TUE THE
WARMEST AND NEAR CARBON COPIES OF EACH OTHER. NIGHTS WILL BE MILD
WITH LOWS IN THE 50S MOUNTAINS AND 60S PIEDMONT...BUT NOT
APPRECIABLY HUMID UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 430 AM EDT SATURDAY...

GFS/ECMWF STILL EXHIBITING SOME DIFFERENCES...BUT WPC PREFERENCE IS
THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE IN THE LONG TERM. THE ECMWF IS NEARLY A FULL DAY
SLOWER THAN THE GFS THROUGH THE PERIOD...WHICH HAS SIGNIFICANT
IMPLICATIONS ON THE TIMING OF THE DEEP CENTRAL U.S. TROUGH INTO THE
EASTERN U.S. TROUGH AND THE SPEED WITH WHICH IT WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE CWA. THUS...LARGELY FOLLOWING THE ECMWF SOLUTION...WILL LEAVE
THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA STILL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE EASTERN
U.S. RIDGE WEDNESDAY. THERE SHOULD BE AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION
ACROSS THE WESTERN AREAS/MOUNTAINS AS THE UPPER TROUGH SLIDES INTO
THE KY/TN VALLEY AND THE WESTERN THIRD OF THE CWA COMES UNDER
INCREASINGLY DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT. EASTERN AREAS SHOULD REMAIN
LARGELY CAPPED...VERY WARM...AND STABLE.

THU-FRI SHOULD BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE CWA AS THE ECMWF DEPICTS AN UPPER LOW CLOSING OFF ACROSS THE OH
VALLEY...THEN SLOWLY ROTATING NORTHWARD INTO THE NORTHEAST U.S. BY
FRIDAY. THIS LATEST THINKING REQUIRED CONSIDERABLE ADJUSTMENT TO THE
POPS IN THE DAY 5-7 PERIOD...LOWERING POPS WED...AND RAISING TO
LIKELY/CATEGORICAL FOR THU/FRI. WHILE INSTABILITY IS NOT OVERLY
IMPRESSIVE...ESPECIALLY VIA THE GFS...THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO
ADVERTISE A NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH ROTATING THROUGH THE CWA THU
NIGHT/FRI ALONG WITH MODEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR. THUS...THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR ANY STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE
THURSDAY. WITH RESPECT TO QPF...LATEST WPC 5-7 RAINFALL TOTALS
INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR 2-4 INCHES OF RAIN THU-FRI ACROSS THE CWA.
ANY THUNDERSTORMS WED IN THE MOUNTAINS WOULD SIMPLY ADD TO THESE
TOTALS...SO THINKING IS STILL THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT WITH
THIS SYSTEM WILL BE HEAVY RAIN...ESPECIALLY WITH AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW PARALLEL TO THE MOUNTAINS.

TEMPERATURES WED WILL CONTINUE TO BE ABOVE NORMAL EAST OF THE
MOUNTAINS AS THE UPPER RIDGE DOMINATES THE AREA. SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED ACROSS THE ALLEGHANY WITH INCREASED CLOUD
COVER AND BETTER CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON SHRA/TSRA. A GRADUAL COOL
DOWN EXPECTED THU-FRI AS THE UPPER LOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO BELOW NORMAL LEVELS JUST
BEYOND THE EXTENDED PERIOD...AND LIKELY REMAINING THERE FOR SEVERAL
DAYS AS A LARGE DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE PERSISTS ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST U.S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EDT SATURDAY...

NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
SUNSET. MODELS ARE CONSISTENT WITH SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUING
THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z/8PM...THEN DECREASING IN COVERAGE BETWEEN 8PM
AND MIDNIGHT.

MOSTLY VFR CIGS EXPECTED OUTSIDE SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY. DURING
HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA EXPECT CIGS TO POTENTIALLY LOWER TO MVFR FOR
BRIEF INTERVALS. AFT 04Z/MIDNIGHT...MOIST GROUND AND DECREASING
WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SHALLOW GROUND FOG...FAVORING
THOSE SITES WITH THE LIGHTEST WINDS...NAMELY LWB/LYH/BCB. MOSTLY
MVFR BR...BUT POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR IFR BR AFT 06Z...ESPECIALLY
THOSE SITES NOTED ABOVE.

ANY FOG SUNDAY MORNING IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE BY 14 UTC/10AM
WITH WIDESPREAD VFR CONDITIONS FROM LATE SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...
UPPER RIDGE ALOFT STRENGTHENS OVER THE REGION SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY...PROVIDING MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL
SHIFT EAST OF THE REGION WEDNESDAY AS A STRONG COLD FRONT AND
DEEPENING UPPER LOW MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE CENTRAL U.S. THIS
SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SHRA/TSRA
AND ASSOCIATED MVFR OR WORSE CIGS AND VSBYS TO THE REGION...LINGERING
PERHAPS INTO EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE CONDITIONS IMPROVE OVERALL.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
AS OF 950 PM EDT FRIDAY...

THE PRESENT WEATHER SENSOR AT LEWISBURG WAS STILL OUT OF SERVICE.
FOG...SHOWERS...THUNDERSTORMS OR ANY TYPE OF WEATHER OR
OBSTRUCTION TO VISIBILITY WILL NOT BE REPORTED. HOWEVER...IF THE
VISIBILITY DROPS BELOW 7 MILES...IT MAY BE INFERRED THAT THERE IS
FOG AND/OR PRECIPITATION OCCURRING.

THERE IS NO ESTIMATE AT THIS TIME FOR WHEN THE SENSOR WILL BE
REPAIRED.
