AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
417 PM EDT MON APR 28 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN JUST TO THE SOUTH AND WEST
OF THE REGION INTO TUESDAY...AND THEN EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTH AS A
WARM FROM EARLY WEDNESDAY. A LARGE AND COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM
LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WILL SLOWLY MOVE 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 TUESDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT MONDAY...

DEEP UPPER LOW NOT MAKING MUCH PROGRESS THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...WITH THE CENTER OF THE LOW ONLY
REACHING EASTERN IOWA BY LATE THURSDAY. BUT UPPER LOW IS SO LARGE
AND UPPER RIDGING MOVES FAR ENOUGH OFFSHORE TO RESULT IN PERSISTENT
SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. PIECES OF SHORT WAVE ENERGY
TRACK OVER THE RIDGE BUT CHALLENGING TO TIMING OF THESE SMALL
FEATURES. BUT MODELS LINE UP PRECIPITATION ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE OF
THE COUNTY WARNING AREA BY 12Z/8AM TUESDAY. WILL STAY WITH A
CATEGORICAL PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION TUESDAY MORNING IN THE
WESTERN MOUNTAINS.

MODELS ERODE EASTERN SIDE OF THE WEDGE AND BRING BETTER INSTABILITY
AND CAPES AROUND 2500 J/KG INTO SOUTHERN VIRGINIA TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
AREA WITH HIGHEST THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS ALSO HAS PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES JUST ABOVE 1.5 INCHES. HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE A THREAT IN THE SOUTHEAST COUNTY WARNING AREA
IN THE AFTERNOON. SEVERE THREAT WILL BE ENHANCED WITH INCREASED
SHEAR ALONG THE RETREATING WARM FRONT.

CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES NEAR EVENING VALUES.
WILL HAVE OVERNIGHT LOWS CLOSE TO BIAS CORRECTED LOCAL WRF GUIDANCE
BUT MORE SO BASED ON CURRENT OBSERVATIONS. AS USUAL...MAX
TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL DEPEND ON POSITION OF THE WEDGE AND THE
RESULTING BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY. MET GUIDANCE SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THE WEDGE
FOR TUESDAY BUT WILL BE ADJUSTING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTY WARNING
AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 410 PM EST MONDAY...

FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST AROUND LARGE
TROUGH IS LIKELY TO BRING HEAVY BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
APPALACHIANS OVERNIGHT...BUT WEDGE MAY REMAIN IN PLACE INITIALLY
OR ONLY SLOWLY LIFT NORTH...SO SEVERE WX THREAT TUES NIGHT REMAIN
UNCLEAR...BUT WILL LIKELY BE MAINLY ACROSS PIEDMONT INITIALLY.
HEAVY RAIN WITH SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE AND LIFT OVER WEDGE IS LIKELY A
BIGGER ISSUE OVERALL...WITH ONE TO TWO INCHES LOCALLY...ESPECIALLY
NEAR BLUE RIDGE. SOME INDICATIONS ANOTHER BAND OF STORMS COULD
THEN MOVE IN VERY EARLY WED MORNING...BUT 12Z MODELS HAVE BACKED
OFF A LITTLE ON THAT IDEA...WITH MORE LIKELY TIMING BEING MIDDAY
TO AFTERNOON AHEAD OF COLD FRONT. STRONG SSW FLOW JUST ABOVE
STABLE LAYER EARLY WED MORNING...COMBINED WITH ANY HEAVIER RAIN
BANDS...LIKELY TO MIX SHALLOW WEDGE OUT BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY.
STORMS THAT DEVELOP AHEAD OF COLD FRONT THEN WILL BE DEVELOPING IN
UNSTABLE SFC-BASED AIRMASS..WITH FAIRLY STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR.
GETTING MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR ENTIRE
CWA...BUT ESPECIALLY IN PIEDMONT WITH DIURNAL INCREASE IN
INSTABILITY BY AFTERNOON. WINDS...HAIL...BUT THIS WOULD BE HIGHEST
CHANCE FOR ANY ISOLATED TORNADOES IN OUR AREA THIS WEEK. WILL NEED
TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS DEVELOPMENT AND TIMING...AND COMBINED
WITH ONGOING FLASH FLOOD THREAT AND THEN EVENTUALLY RIVER FLOOD
THREAT (SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW)...COULD BE A VERY BUSY DAY.
TUESDAY NIGHT TEMPS COULD WARM IN SOME LOCATIONS AS WEDGE
BREAKS..BUT AT THIS POINT THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL IS HARD TO DEPICT
WITH LOW CONFIDENCE IN JUST HOW SOON THIS MAY HAPPEN. COULD BE
CLOSE TO MORNING.

MODELS A LITTLE FASTER KICKING STORMS EAST BY LATE WED
EVENING...WITH SOME LINGERING LIGHT SHOWERS IN WESTERN SLOPES OF
APPALACHIANS LINGERING INTO THURSDAY...BUT NOTICEABLY COOLER AIR
A LITTLE DELAYED UNTIL THURS NIGHT. STILL MILD TEMPERATURES FOR
THE DAYTIME THURSDAY.

&&

.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 /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 140 PM EDT MONDAY...

HIGH CONFIDENCE OF WIDESPREAD IFR TO LIFR CLOUDS OVERNIGHT ALONG
AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. EXPECTING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...MOVING EAST AND WEAKENING OVER THE
DEEPER STABLE WEDGE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. CEILINGS HAVE BEEN
LOWERING TO MVFR LEVELS WITH THE SHOWERS AND STORMS AND THIS TREND
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH 6PM.

AFTER 00Z/8PM TONIGHT CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO IFR ACROSS THE
REGION. LIFR IS LIKELY AT ROA AND LYH. AREAS OF DRIZZLE...FOG AND
LIGHT RAIN WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. VERY
SLOW IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY ARE EXPECTED AFTER
12Z/8AM. MODELS TEND TO BREAK OUT WEDGE TOO QUICKLY. HAVE HELD ON
TO LOWER CEILINGS IN THE TAFS THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD.

BANDS OF HEAVIER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE
CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY EVENING. A DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ALOFT
SLOWLY DRIFTS INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST. 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 300 PM EDT MONDAY...

PATTERN SETTING UP WITH SOME IMPRESSIVE STRONG SIGNALS FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAINFALL WITH HEAVY RAIN AMOUNTS BECOMING MORE
LIKELY...ESPECIALLY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF PROLONGED HEAVY RAINFALL. THE RAIN
FROM MONDAY AND TONIGHT WILL MOISTEN THE GROUND. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
WILL 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...A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY WARNING AREA.

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.
