AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1124 PM EDT WED MAY 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT...LEADING IN A RETURN TO DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER
WEATHER AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR THE WEEKEND. THE HIGH MOVES
OFFSHORE BY MONDAY BRINGING A RETURN TO MORE SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER
WITH A DAILY CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 1112 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

MCS SITUATED FROM WESTERN WV SOUTHWEST INTO SE KY APPEARS TO BE
HEADING SE TOWARD OUR FAR SW VA COUNTIES. THE STRONGEST
ECHOES...WTIH DAMAGING WINDS IS OCCURRING IN SE KY AT THIS TIME.
MODELS FAVOR THE MAIN AXIS OF THIS MCS TO PUSH INTO FAR SW VA AND
INTO THE NC MTNS BY MIDNIGHT IN SW VA AND 1 AM IN THE NC MTNS.
HAVE UPPED POPS OVERNIGHT DOWN THAT WAY AND BACKED OFF THE REST TO
THE EAST. STILL LOOKS LIKE ACTIVITY SHOULD START WEAKEN WITH
MLCAPES DROPPING BELOW 500 J/KG AND INCREASING CIN. MAY HAVE TO
WATCH HEAVY RAIN THREAT THOUGH GIVEN SIZE OF THE SYSTEM AND
POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING. HAVE SOME HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WIND
WORDING IN THE FORECAST FOR OUR FAR SW/WRN COUNTIES THROUGH
OVERNIGHT.

NOT MUCH ELSE CHANGED TO THE REST OF THE FORECAST AS BLOWOFF FROM
THE CONVECTION WILL KEEP THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA UNDER A MOSTLY
CLOUDY TO OVC SKY MOST OF THE NIGHT WITH SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM STARTING TO CLEAR THINGS OUT TOWARD MORNING AT LEAST IN THE
EAST.

PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION...

LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES TO AROUND 40 KNOTS OVERNIGHT WHICH WILL KEEP
THE RIDGES BREEZY...WELL MIXED AND MILD. WITH THE FORECAST AREA
STILL IN THE WARM SECTOR...EXPECT MINIMAL DROP IN TEMPERATURES
OVERNIGHT. STAYING CLOSER TO WARMER BIAS CORRECTED MAV GUIDANCE
FOR LOWS.

MODELS BRING THE FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA LATE THURSDAY.
WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST THROUGH A DEEP LAYER AS MORE STABLE AIR
BEGINS TO ADVECT INTO THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD WANE ALONG THE PASSING COLD FRONT
DURING THURSDAY NIGHT. POPS WERE REDUCED TO LEAVE THE WHOLE CWA
DRY AFTER MIDNIGHT. BY FRIDAY...A MODEST UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
CROSS OVER PENNSYLVANIA...AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE
TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST FROM WISCONSIN. THIS OVERALL PATTERN SHOULD
SET UP A DECENT NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE MID ATLANTIC...WHICH WILL
PUSH THE COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD TO THE CAROLINAS PERHAPS A LITTLE
FASTER THAN THE 12Z MODELS ARE INDICATING. IT WILL ALSO USHER A
COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS TOWARD THE CWA BY FRIDAY NIGHT.

SATURDAY MORNING COULD BRING ANOTHER TASTE OF UNSEASONABLY COOL
TEMPERATURES...AS LOWS MIGHT TEST THE MID 40S IN THE DEEPEST
MOUNTAIN VALLEYS SUCH AS LEWISBURG AND BURKES GARDEN.
HOWEVER...THE MORNING CHILL WILL GIVE WAY TO PLENTIFUL
SUNSHINE...DIMINISHING NORTHWEST WINDS...AND HIGH TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY IN THE 70S COURTESY OF HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM
THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. IT APPEARS THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WILL
BE DRY FOR WHATEVER OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES YOU MAY HAVE PLANNED TO
WELCOME THE UNOFFICIAL START OF SUMMER 2014.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 1240 PM EDT TUESDAY...

BY SATURDAY NIGHT...THE MODELS AGREE ON A BROAD 1023 MB SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. TEMPERATURES COULD DROP INTO THE
UPPER 40S IN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS BY SUNDAY MORNING DUE TO GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING. HOWEVER...THE AIR MASS SHOULD MODIFY AS THE
HIGH SLIPS SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE CAROLINAS AND EVENTUALLY OFF THE
COAST. THE RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL
ENSUE DURING MEMORIAL DAY TO PROVIDE SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER THROUGH
THE REST OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD.

MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS DURING THE WORK
WEEK. COMBINED WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES EASILY REACHING THE 80S FOR
MOST LOCATIONS BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON
TO EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL STEADILY INCREASE. ONLY
ISOLATED ACTIVITY MAY OCCUR ON MEMORIAL DAY DUE TO LIMITED CAPE AND
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE...BUT CONVECTION SHOULD BECOME MORE
PRONOUNCED DURING TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE HIGHEST POP CHANCES
WERE PLACED WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD.

&&
