AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
332 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEDGE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AS A SURFACE LOW
DRIFTS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. SUMMER TIME THUNDERSTORMS
RETURN MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT TRACKS EAST FROM THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT SATURDAY...

A SURFACE REFLECTION/LEE TROUGH OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL BE THE
FOCUS FOR STRONGER STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE GOOD
NEWS IS THAT THIS FEATURE IS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
HOWEVER...THERE REMAINS MODERATE CAPE VALUES AROUND 2000 J/KG ARE
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT THIS AFTERNOON. MIXING HAS BEEN STRONG ENOUGH
TO LIMIT STORMS FROM BECOMING TO STRONG SO FAR. THE FIRST
LIGHTNING STRIKE DETECTED DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL 230P THIS AFTERNOON.
EXPECTING MIXING TO DECREASE THIS EVENING WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
STORMS OVER THE PIEDMONT TO STRENGTHEN. THE DURATION OF THESE
STRONG STORMS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING...THEN
THEY WILL EXIT THE FORECAST AREA HEADING SE WITH THE LEE TROUGH.

MODELS SHOWING A WEDGE COMING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA
TONIGHT. MOST MODELS ARE KEEPING AN EASTERLY WIND AND LOW CLOUDS
INTO MONDAY MORNING. THICK LOW CLOUDS ARE A SURE THING
TONIGHT...BUT A LITTLE LEARY ON THE CHANCES FOR MEASURABLE
RAINFALL. THIS WEDGE AND CLOUDS SHOULD WITH STAND SUMMER SUN WHILE
A FEW BREAKS ARE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE DAY...ONLY TO FILL BACK IN
SUNDAY NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES WILL FEEL A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE TONIGHT WITH
SLIGHTLY LOWER DEW POINTS. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO
THE 60S. EASTERLY FLOW AND CLOUDS WILL KEEP SUNDAY/S TEMPERATURES
FROM REACHING NORMAL LEVELS. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE U70S-
M80S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 255 PM EDT SATURDAY...

GOING TO SEE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE SOUTHWEST INTO THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT...HOWEVER...THE AIRMASS IN TERMS OF MOISTURE DOES NOT CHANGE
TOO MUCH AS IT WILL REMAIN MUGGY WITH LOW LVL CLOUDINESS.
CONVERGENCE WILL SET UP ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE WITH SHOWERS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT IN AN ISOLATED/WIDELY SCATTERED FASHION.

MONDAY....THE HIGH WILL START TO EDGE EWD AS UPSTREAM TROUGH
PUSHES INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY. STILL LOOKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE
585DM AND TYPICAL SUMMER WEATHER. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LIE
SOUTHWEST OF US MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH AMOEBIC FLOW. ANYTHING THAT
FORMS ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND HEAVY RAINERS. RIGHT
NOW THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE IN THE CHANCE RANGE
...HIGHEST ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE. THE HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO BUILD IN
THE UPPER LEVELS SHOULD SEND THE WARM FRONT NORTH OF US MONDAY
EVENING. CONTINUED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH FRONTAL
CONVERGENCE WILL KEEP THE SHRA/TSRA CHANCE GOING THRU THE NIGHT.

TUESDAY...ONE PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY GETS INTO OHIO/KY/TN BY
THE END OF THE DAY. WITH SW FLOW ALOFT AND HEATING THINK SHOWER
AND STORM CHANCES WILL BE HIGHER IN THE MTNS...WITH LESS UNDER THE
5H RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. KEPT POPS FROM 40-50 WEST TO 30 EAST.

CONVECTION WANES SOME OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE EAST BUT
SHORTWAVE ENERGY DESPITE WEAKENING AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE SOUTHEAST
RIDGE SHOULD BRING ENOUGH LIFT TO KEEP 30-50 POPS FROM THE NC MTNS
NORTH TO THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS AND WEST.

TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL MONDAY WITH HIGHS FROM THE UPPER
70S TO LOWER 80S MOUNTAINS...TO MID TO UPPER 80S OUT EAST.

TEMPS WARM A FEW DEGREES TUESDAY MAINLY IN THE EAST AS THINK
CONVECTION WILL BE A LITTLE MORE COMMONPLACE WEST. LOOK FOR HIGHS
AGAIN IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S OVER MOST OF THE
MOUNTAINS...TO NEAR 90 OVER SOUTHSIDE VA INTO THE NC PIEDMONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 140 PM EDT SATURDAY...

I WOULD NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH CHANGE THIS FORECAST PERIOD. FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL SITUATE ITSELF NEAR THE AREA WED-THU THEN LIFT BACK
NORTH INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS HEIGHTS BUILD YET AGAIN.
OVERALL...THERE WILL BE A DAILY THREAT OF STORMS...BUT MAINLY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. AT THE MOMENT BEST THREAT OF STORMS WILL BE
WEDNESDAY WITH SHORTWAVE PIECE MOVING ACROSS DURING THE MIDDLE OF
THE DAY. EXPECT THE MODELS THIS FAR OUT TO STILL HAVE TIMING
ISSUES WITH WAVES ALONG THE SRN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES.

NOT GOING TO SEE TOO MUCH CHANGE IN AIRMASS AS DRIER DEWPOINTS
STAY WELL NORTH OF THE MID ATLANTIC.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT SATURDAY...

WAVY WARM FRONT EXTENDED FROM THE MARYLAND PANHANDLE TO NORTHEAST
NORTH CAROLINA. ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS WERE OVER THE MOUNTAINS ALONG
WITH MOSTLY VFR CEILINGS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. THESE MOUNTAIN
SHOWERS WILL MOVE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND INTO HIGHER
INSTABILITIES TO GENERATE SCATTERED CONVECTION. A WEAK SURFACE
REFLECTION/TROUGH OVER THE CAROLINAS MAY HAVE A FEW OF THESE STORMS
BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE FROM KDAN SOUTH INTO EARLY EVENING. ONCE
CONVECTION DRIFTS SOUTH...A WEAK WEDGE AND NE FLOW WILL BRING IN LOW
CLOUDS AND/OR LIGHT RAIN TO AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WEDGE MAY HANG IN THE AREA UNTIL MONDAY
WITH SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN CEILING HEIGHTS DURING THE DAY ONLY TO
LOWER AGAIN OVERNIGHT.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

DEEPER MOISTURE RETURNS NORTH...WITH BETTER COVERAGE OF
AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS ON MONDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER UPPER TROF AND
FRONT TO THE WEST. THIS BOUNDARY WILL GET CLOSER TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY WITH AT LEAST DIURNAL DAILY ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
LIKELY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY INCLUDING PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR.

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 LATE
MORNING AFTER FOG/LOW CLOUDS LIFT AND BURN OFF...AND BEFORE
AFTERNOON CONVECTION REDEVELOPS.
