AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
734 AM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WAS MOVING INTO EXTREME SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA
THIS MORNING...WILL MOVE RAPIDLY TOWARD THE COAST BY EVENING
ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST FOR THE WEEKEND WITH SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES AND
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. A CANADIAN FRONT WILL SINK SOUTHWARD TOWARD
THE REGION BY SUNDAY AND MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY A RETURN TO MUCH
COLDER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK...ALONG WITH AN INCREASING THREAT
FOR UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM EST FRIDAY...

STRONG COLD FRONT ENTERING FAR WESTERN VA EARLY THIS
MORNING WITH AS EXPECTED A NARROW LINE OF STRONGER CONVECTION.
MEANWHILE...COOLER/STABLE AIR MASS HOLDS ACROSS THE EASTERN
AREAS...BUT HAS SHOWN SOME SIGNIFICANT EROSION INTO THE NEW RIVER
VALLEY AND POINTS WESTWARD OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS. TEMPERATURE AT
BCB ROSE FROM THE MID 30S AROUND MIDNIGHT TO ALMOST 60 DEGREES AT
4 AM...WITH FAR SW VA IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. THIS WILL CREATE AN
INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR A BOWING LINE
SEGMENT...CURRENTLY MOVING INTO WESTERN RUSSELL AND WASHINGTON
COUNTIES TO SURVIVE AT LEAST TOWARD THE I-77 CORRIDOR. SPC
MONITORING CONVECTIVE TRENDS OF LINE OF -SHRA FAR SW VA FOR A
POSSIBLE SVR WW INTO WESTERN VA...BUT GIVEN DIMINISHING TRENDS AS
OF NOW...THIS DOES NOT APPEAR LIKELY. A SECONDARY LINE APPROACHING
EASTERN WV HAS ALL BUT COMPLETELY DISSIPATED AS IT HIT THE
MOUNTAINS...SO NO CONCERNS THERE. BEHIND THESE CONVECTIVE
LINES...A LARGER AREA OF WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WAS
NOTED ACROSS EASTERN KY/EASTERN TN. LITTLE TO NO LIGHTNING
OBSERVED IN THE ACTIVITY NORTH OF THE KY/TN BORDER.
OVERALL...ACTIVITY APPEARS TO BE CONFORMING TO MODEL
FORECASTS...MEANING THAT IT WILL REACH OUR WESTERN BORDER IN THE
NEXT 1-2 HOURS...MOVE INTO THE GREENBRIER/NEW RIVER VALLEY AREA
IN THE 11Z-12Z TIME FRAME...THEN TOWARD THE PIEDMONT AROUND
14Z-15Z. BIG QUESTION AT THAT POINT WILL BE DEGREE OF
INTENSIFICATION OF ACTIVITY WHERE SPC HAS AREA OUTLOOKED FOR
SLIGHT RISK. IT WILL CLEARLY BE A RACE OF TIME BETWEEN THE
FRONT AND HEATING...A NARROW WINDOW OF 2-4 HOURS AT BEST...ENDING
BY 18Z IN THE FAR EASTERN AREAS. THREAT FOR SEVERE CONTINUES TO
APPEAR VERY LIMITED AT THIS POINT.

WITH RESPECT TO QPF...DISCUSSION IS IN HYDRO SECTION BELOW.

TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE QUITE TRICKY. MODELS INDICATE A NON-
DIURNAL TREND...BUT DOWNSLOPE WEST WINDS AND NEAR FULL INSOLATION
BY AFTERNOON SHOULD COUNTER MID/LOW-LEVEL CAA. UPSLOPE CLOUDS
SHOULD BE LIMITED IN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE AIR MASS BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT IS LARGELY OF PACIFIC ORIGIN. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO
TREND DOWNWARD DURING THE DAY...BUT NOT SHARPLY AND PIEDMONT AREAS
WILL LIKELY END UP BEING WARMER THAN THU WHEN IN A WEDGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM EST FRIDAY...

THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION FROM GENERAL
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ON SATURDAY...TO MORE OF A WEST TO EAST FLOW BY
MONDAY NIGHT. IN A NUTSHELL...THIS PATTERN WILL KEEP THE COLDER AIR
WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION ON
SATURDAY...RESULTING IN LIGHT SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS FOR OUR AREA AS
THE HIGH SHIFTS TOWARD THE COAST. ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WILL HELP MAKE
FOR ANOTHER MILD DAY TO MELT RESIDUAL SNOW COVER...WITH HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE MID 50S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...TO THE LOW/MID 60S
EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. INCREASING CLOUD COVER LATE IN THE EVENING
WILL HELP LIMIT OVERNIGHT COOLING...WITH THE SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
HELPING TO KEEP THE RIDGE TOPS WARMER THAN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS AND
THE PIEDMONT.

SUNDAY WILL BE A NEAR REPEAT OF SATURDAY...BUT WITH MORE CLOUD
COVER...AS WARMER AIR POOLS AHEAD OF OUR NEXT COLD FRONT. EXPECT
UPPER 50S WEST TO THE UPPER 60S EAST FOR HIGHS. THE COLD FRONT...A
CLIPPER APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST...WILL ENTER OUR AREA AROUND
SUNSET...AND EXIT TO THE EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT MONDAY MORNING. GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS
THROUGH THE NIGHT...MAINLY AFFECTING OUR WEST FACING RIDGES...TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT IN SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA WHERE AN INCH OR TWO OF
SNOW IS EXPECTED. SLOPES ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE INTO NORTHERN
NORTH CAROLINA CAN EXPECT LESS THAN AN INCH.

SNOW SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF AND WIND SPEEDS WILL DIMINISH LATE
MONDAY MORNING AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO SETTLE ACROSS THE
AREA. DESPITE THE DECREASING CLOUD COVER...THE COOLER AIRMASS WILL
LIMIT AFTERNOON HIGHS MAINLY TO THE 40S WEST...AND THE LOW/MID 50S
EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EST THURSDAY...

DURING THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST...THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN
ACROSS THE U.S. WILL REFLECT STRONG RIDGING ALONG AND JUST OFF THE
COAST OF CALIFORNIA...AND AN AMPLIFYING TROUGH OVER MOST OF THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY. THIS ORIENTATION WILL PLACE
OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY IN A PROLONGED NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN WITH
SHORTWAVE RIPPLES WITHIN THE GREATER TROUGH PATTERN MOVING NEAR OR
OVER THE REGION.

EACH OF THESE RIPPLES WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR BRINGING SOME
LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO MAINLY WESTERN AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
AREA. WITH THE GULF OF MEXICO CUT OFF FROM MOISTURE FLOW...EACH
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL HAVE TO BRING ITS OWN MOISTURE WITH IT TO
GENERATE ANY PRECIPITATION. ANY MOISTURE ADVECTED EAST OF THE CREST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE WILL MOSTLY BE SUPPRESSED BY SUBSIDENCE WITH IN
THE NORTHWEST DOWNSLOPE FLOW.

ONE OF THESE SHORTWAVES IS PROGGED TO PROGRESS NEAR THE AREA MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. A SECOND IS EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT.

WHILE WE EXPECT A GENERAL TREND TOWARD COLDER TEMPERATURES DURING
THIS TIME PERIOD...GUIDANCE IS NOT AS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE PUSH SOUTH
OF THE VERY COLD AIR AS COMPARED TO GUIDANCE FROM THIS TIME
YESTERDAY. THE EXTENT OF THE COOL DOWN THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE
LESSENED COMPARED TO THE PRIOR FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 730 AM EST FRIDAY...

LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH THE CWA AS ADVERTISED...AND AT
12Z ROUGHLY EXTENDS FROM LWB...TO PSK...TO TNB. NORTHERN END
DIMINISHED OVERNIGHT...SOUTHERN END GROWING IN AERIAL COVERAGE AND
BECOMING LESS OF A LINE/QLCS FEATURE AND HAS ALSO BEEN GROWING IN
INTENSITY. JUST NOTED SOME LIGHTNING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVERAL
HOURS ACROSS OUR NW NC COUNTIES. MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE
STRONG WIND GUSTS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY...WITH MOST STATIONS SEEING 20-30KT GUSTS ALONG THE
LEADING EDGE. TIMING SHOULD PUT THIS LINE EAST OF BCB/ROA BY
16Z...AND EAST OF DAN/LYH BY 18Z. DURING AND FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS
AFTER PASSAGE OF LINE...EXPECT MOSTLY MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AND WINDS
AVERAGING 27015G25KTS. HAVE NOT INCLUDED TSRA AT ANY OF THE TAF
SITES...BUT DAN WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR POSSIBLE CONVECTION
APPROACHING FROM THE SW TOWARD MID-LATE MORNING. SKIES WILL CLEAR
QUICKLY WITHIN A FEW HOURS OF THE LINE PASSAGE AND ALL SITES
SHOULD BE VFR BY 20Z. A FEW CLOUDS MAY LINGER LWB- BLF...BUT
UPSLOPE IS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WITH WSW-SW SFC
WINDS. THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF VALID PERIOD SHOULD JUST SEE GUSTY
WEST WINDS THROUGH 00Z...IN SOME CASES DURING THE AFTERNOON
GUSTING TO 30KTS...THEN DIMINISHING AFTER 00Z...WITH VFR
CIGS/VSBYS.

MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH 18Z...THEN HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN VFR CIGS/VSBYS.
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WIND SPD/DIR THROUGH THE TAF VALID PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THERE
IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR -SHRA/-SNSH SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING...MAINLY IN TYPICAL UPSLOPE AREAS OF EASTERN WV...AND
AGAIN TOWARD MID-WEEK. GENERALLY THE PERIOD SHOULD SEE MOSTLY
VFR...WITH MVFR AT WORST IN UPSLOPE AREAS...BUT INCREASINGLY
COLDER INTO NEXT WEEK. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME THREAT FOR WINTER
PCPN AREA WIDE TOWARD THE LATER HALF OF NEXT WEEK...BUT MANY
UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 415 AM EST FRIDAY...

QPF STILL EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY LESS THAN 1/2 INCH...WITH THE
GREATEST AMOUNTS IN THE WESTERN AREAS. THIS IS OF COURSE WHERE THE
MOST SNOW COVER REMAINS AS WELL. BUT GIVEN THAT OVERALL SNOW COVER
IS PRETTY MUCH DOWN TO 4-5 INCHES OR LESS IN OUR WESTERN COUNTIES
AND THE MAJORITY HAS ALREADY MELTED AND RUNOFF INTO AREA CREEKS
AND STREAMS...UNLESS QPF EXCEEDS 1/2 INCH...WE SHOULD BE OK
WITHOUT AN FFA...BUT LOCALIZED FLWS FOR SMALL STREAM/CREEK
FLOODING CANNOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY IN OUR SE WV COUNTIES.
