AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
314 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST THROUGH
TONIGHT...WHILE A BACKDOOR FRONT ENTERS THE AREA BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. THE FRONT THEN MEANDER OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

OVERALL NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE GOING FORECAST. HOT THIS AFTERNOON
AND SOMEWHAT AGAIN TOMORROW...ALTHOUGH TOMORROW MAY SEE MORE CLOUDS
AS BACKDOOR FRONT AND UPSTREAM CONVECTION ALLOW FOR MORE ORGANIZED
BROAD CONVERGENCE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NRN AND WRN CWA.

FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING THERE WILL BE
ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA EVERYWHERE...WITH LATEST LOCAL WRF FAVORING A
LITTLE MORE COVERAGE FROM THE NEW RIVER VALLEY AND SRN WV SOUTH
INTO THE NC FOOTHILLS...BEFORE DIMINISHING THE STORMS THIS
EVENING.

OVERNIGHT...THE UPPER RIDGE FLATTENS AND SHIFTS MORE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST COAST WHILE STRONG SHORTWAVE SEEN OVER WI/MI THIS
AFTERNOON PUSHES SOUTHEAST INTO THE ERN OHIO VALLEY LATE. MODELS
SHOWING SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS HEADING TOWARD SE WV BY DAWN. FOG
WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO CLOUD COVER BUT EXPECT SOME VALLEY FOG IN THE
MORNING.

THURSDAY...AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE AND CONVECTION WEAKENS AS ITS
SLIDES SOUTH AND EAST OVER THE VAS. MOST OF THE DYNAMICS STAYS
ACROSS NRN VA INTO MD/PA WHILE SLIVER OF VORT ADVECTION WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION BY MIDDAY. THINK POPS WILL BE HIGHER OVER SE
WV...SHENANDOAH VALLEY AND EAST TO LYH/BUCKINGHAM THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...WHILE THE SRN SECTIONS OF THE CWA WILL BE MORE IN LINE
FOR ISOLATED/SCATTERED STORMS.

SVR POTENTIAL IS THERE GIVEN INSTABILITY...BUT WILL BE ISOLATED.

AND PRECIP WITH LOWER TO MID 80S ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS/GREENBRIER AND
NC MTNS...WHILE THE NRV AND MTN EMPIRE HEAT UP TOWARD THE MID TO

AS OF 253 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

A SLOW MOVING BACK DOOR FRONT WILL BE NEAR THE MASON-DIXON LINE
WHILE A LEE TROUGH IS DRAPED ACROSS THE COASTAL PIEDMONT THURSDAY
EVENING. CONVECTION ALONG THE BACK DOOR FRONT MAY HELP TO DEVELOP A
SURFACE REFLECTION OVER THE MID ATLANTIC. AS THIS REFLECTION DRIFTS
OFF SHORE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...THE SURFACE BOUNDARY
SHOULD TRACK (GFS) INTO NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA. JUST A LITTLE
LEERY THAT THIS BOUNDARY WILL TRAVEL THAT FAR SOUTH ESPECIALLY
WITH THE 85H THETA-E BOUNDARY REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA. IF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY DOES ENTER THE RNK
PIEDMONT...IT MAY WASHOUT UNDER HOT SUMMER SUN. AT LEAST INTO THE
EARLY AFTERNOON ...INSTABILITIES WILL BE LOW EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE WITH A POSSIBLE LIGHT EASTERLY FLOW. THIS EASTERLY FLOW AND
MODEST INSTABILITIES OVER THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD GENERATE AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY IN THE WEST.

WILL ALSO NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE OHIO VALLEY LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A POSSIBLE MESOSCALE COMPLEX
COULD TRACK NEAR THE AREA WITH 5H ISOHYPSE ORIENTED NW-SE. IF
SUCH A DISTURBANCE SHOULD DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON...IT SHOULD
TRACK CLOSE TO THE 85H THETA-E BOUNDARY WHICH IS NORTH OF THE
AREA. JUST BEING IN THE VICINITY OF THIS DISTURBANCE...SCATTERED
STRONG CONVECTION COULD LINGER THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS
DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO PASS OVER VIRGINIA SATURDAY MORNING.

TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COOLER ON SATURDAY BUT STILL REMAINING WARMER
THAN NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

FOLLOWING SATURDAY DISTURBANCE...UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES ZONAL. THE
LOWER BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL RETURN TO THE SOUTH AND BY THE
AFTERNOON...PULSE STORMS WILL DEVELOP. THIS PATTERN OF AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND POSSIBLY
INTO THE END OF THE WEEK. LOOKING BEYOND THE EXTENDED...A COLD FRONT
MAY CLEAR THINGS OUT BY NEXT WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM
AND MUGGY UNTIL THIS COLD FRONT PASSES EAST OF THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 140 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

ISOLATED CONVECTION EXPECTED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MOST
FAVORED LOCATIONS BEING SRN WV/SW VA INTO SOUTHSIDE VA. FOR
TAFS...HAVE VCTS IN AT BLF/BCB/ROA AND DAN. THINK CONVECTION WANES
EARLY EVENING. MAINLY LOOKING AT VFR SCT TO BKN CU/TCU WITH SOME
CBS.

TONIGHT...SYSTEM UPSTREAM OVER NRN IL/INDIANA MAY SPILL MORE
CLOUDS TOWARD THE MTNS BY DAWN WHICH COULD PRECLUDE ANY FOG
FORMATION...THEREFORE LEFT FOG OUT OF LWB. THINK BCB WILL SEE A
PERIOD OF MVFR VSBYS AROUND 09-12Z...BEFORE CLOUDS MOVE IN.

THURSDAY MORNING...THINK SHRA/TSRA WILL BE CLOSING IN ON SE WV SO
ADDED VCTS BACK IN AT LWB/BLF AROUND 15Z.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

A BACKDOOR FRONT DIPS SOUTH TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE MASON-DIXON
LINE THURSDAY AFTERNOON WHICH WILL INCREASE THE RANGE OF STORMS
INTO MORE SCATTERED AND MULTICELLULAR AS OPPOSED TO PULSE. THE
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE BETTER COVERAGE THROUGH THU NIGHT
AND POTENTIALLY INTO FRIDAY. A WEAK FLOW PATTERN HOLDING OVER THE
WEEKEND WILL KEEP THE STORM CHANCES EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY
EVENING SAT/SUN.

AREAS OF IFR FOG REMAIN POSSIBLE EACH LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING...
PARTICULARLY IN AREAS THAT SEE RAIN THE PREVIOUS AFTERNOON. THE
MOST OPTIMAL FLIGHT CONDITIONS EACH DAY SHOULD BE IN THE MID TO
