Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 10:23 AM EDT, 4 hours 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 1023 AM EDT WED JUN 11 2014 .SYNOPSIS... LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH A COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND A WARM FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS THE MASON DIXON LINE. THIS LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON. THE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON THURSDAY THEN MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1015 AM EDT WEDNESDAY... CLOSED LOW OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL OPEN UP TODAY WITH AN ELONGATED TROUGH ACROSS THE ENTIRE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. OUT AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH AND OVER THE FORECAST AREA...SHORT WAVES...ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND AFTERNOON HEATING WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM OVER THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE MOUNTAINS IN THE AFTERNOON...THEN OVER THE PIEDMONT LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT AND CAN NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO IN AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORING SUPERCELLS. CONVECTION MAY WANE SOME OVERNIGHT HOWEVER...PASSING SHORT WAVES SHOULD KEEP ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ONGOING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. ANALYSIS OF MODIFIED GSO SOUNDING SHOWED CAPES THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD BE AROUND 2500 J/KG EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WITH DOWNDRAFT CAPES IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. PLUS LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE LARGER THAN ON TUESDAY AND BULK SHEAR IS STRONGER...IN THE 35 TO 40 KNOT RANGE. AMOUNT OF HEATING AND INSTABILITY IS THE MOST QUESTIONABLE FACTOR SINCE MID AND HIGH CLOUDS COVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. THIS MAY DELAY ONSET OF STORM DEVELOPMENT UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 412 AM EDT WEDNESDAY... THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TRACKS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO THE OHIO-TENN VALLEYS ON THURSDAY. THE AXIS OF STRONGER STORMS WILL ALSO SHIFT EAST ALONG THE COAST. STILL NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE THREAT BRING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL AS COOL POOL DRIFTS OVER THE REGION. THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DRIFT OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN TO THE COAST ON FRIDAY. WEDNESDAY WILL LIKELY BE THE WARMEST DAY...THEN HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BE CLOSER TO NORMAL. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 250 PM EDT TUESDAY... MEAGER SURFACE HIGH WILL ARRIVE IN A WEDGE POSITION BY SUNDAY ACROSS NEW ENGLAND...KEEPING A SUPPLY OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR THROUGH MUCH OF OUR REGION. SOME INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE EXTREME SW AND WITH SURFACE CONVERGENCE DUE TO WEAK SE WINDS...PRECIP CHCS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE FAR SW AND NW NC. AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF THE COAST...RETURN FLOW DELIVERS WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR...LEADING TO A WIDER SCATTERING OF SHOWERS AND STORMS BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. H85 TEMPS MAY RETURN TO THE UPPER TEENS SOUTH OF WHAT LOOKS TO BE A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND MIDDLE ATLANTIC BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION /15Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 800 AM EDT WEDNESDAY... MVFR/IFR FOG IS POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNRISE IN MOST LOCATIONS. PATCHES OF MVFR CLOUD COVER IS POSSIBLE OVER THE MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH. UPPER LEVEL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MS VALLEY WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS REGIONWIDE THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH GREATEST COVERAGE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME ORGANIZATION OF STORMS IS LIKELY WITH STORMS CLUSTERING TOGETHER IN SHORT LINE SEGMENTS. SCATTERED MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS VCNTY OF STORMS WILL GUST TO NEAR 30KTS WITH POTENTIAL FOR 50KT GUSTS WITH ANY OF THE STRONGER CELLS. EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION... CONFIDENCE FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS DECREASES AFTER THURSDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVES OVERHEAD AND WEAKENS. FROM FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED WITH BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR GREATER COVERAGE OF VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND. && .EQUIPMENT... AS OF 1020 AM EDT WEDNESDAY... AWOS EQUIPMENT FOR BLACKSBURG VA...KBCB...IS BEING UPGRADED TODAY. A COMPLETE OBSERVATION FROM THIS SITE WILL AGAIN BE AVAILABLE WHEN THE INSTALLATION IS FINISHED. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
