Area forecast discussion, Mar 29, 1:54 AM EDT, 2 hours 8 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
154 AM EDT SAT MAR 29 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL ENTER OUR REGION TONIGHT
AND STALL. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY AND RIDE EASTWARD ALONG THE STALLED FRONT SATURDAY. THIS
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE
AREA AND OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 130 AM EDT SATURDAY...
BACKED OFF ON POPS EARLY THIS MORNING PER LATEST MODEL
SOLUTIONS/RADAR TRENDS. WILL MAINTAIN HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS
EAST AND SOUTHEAST WITH SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE NORTH. MODELS FAVOR A
DRIZZLY/-RA SCENARION WITH PATCHY FOG IN WEDGE THRU DAWN. NO OTHER
MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON....
A SURFACE COLD FRONT IS ADVANCING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...THE
FRONT EXTENDING FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO WESTERN TENNESSEE.
THIS FRONT IS PROGGED BY ALL MODELS TO ENTER OUR REGION TONIGHT
AND STALL. A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVING THROUGH THE MID PART
OF THE COUNTRY WILL SPARK THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER MS AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS TONIGHT...THIS
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING EAST ALONG THE STALLED FRONT...AND
CROSSING OUR FORECAST AREA SATURDAY. THIS SETUP SUGGESTS THAT
SATURDAY WILL BE A VERY WET DAY.
ATTM...THE MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH FADING DEEP CONVECTION ALONG
THE EASTERN GULF COAST. THIS STORM ACTIVITY ROBBED OUR AREA OF
DEEPER MOISTURE THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN MORE RAIN THAT WE SAW
FRIDAY. DEBRIS CLOUDINESS FROM THIS CONVECTION RESULTED IN A
MOSTLY CLOUDY FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH SOME SUN DID BLEED THROUGH AT
TIMES HELPING TO BOOST TEMPERATURES WARMER THAT EXPECTED. THIS
ADDED WARMTH FAVORS A WARMER NIGHT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...THUS
FORECASTING MIN TEMPS TONIGHT A FEW DEGREES ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE.
SHORT TERM MODELS SUGGEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL INCREASE QUICKLY
OVER THE CAROLINA PIEDMONT THIS EVENING IN RESPONSE TO BACKING
WIND FLOW AHEAD OF THE MID CONUS UPPER LEVEL TROF. THIS TRANSLATES
INTO SHOWERS DEVELOPING AND MOVING NORTH INTO THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTH...OVERSPREADING THE NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA PIEDMONTBEGINNING
THIS EVENING...THEN TO ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE BY MIDNIGHT. AFTER
MIDNIGHT...MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO BE ADVECTED INTO THE AREA FROM
THE SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL BE
DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN TENNESSEE VALLEY. ALL OF THESE
MOISTURE SOURCES ARE EXPECTED TO CONVERGE OVER THE AREA SATURDAY
SUGGESTING CATEGORICAL POPS AND POTENTIAL FOR HIGH QPF...WITH
UPWARDS OF AN INCH OF RAIN POSSIBLE.
WITH AMPLE MOISTURE AND GOOD JET DYNAMICS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT. CAPES ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO NEAR 600 J/KG FROM THE
BLUE RIDGE EAST. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS WILL BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
SHALLOW DEEP CONVECTION. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT HAS BEEN
HIGHLIGHTED BY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER FOR AREAS EAST OF OUR
FORECAST AREA WHERE THE DEEP CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE
ROBUST AS IT APPROACHES THE TIDE WATER AREA LATER IN THE DAY. FOR
US...HOPEFULLY ALL THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IS THE RAIN.
IF WE DO REALIZE THE FULL 1 INCH OF QPF...THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT
IN SIGNIFICANT RISES ALONG AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...
LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BE EXITING OUR AREA
TO THE EAST HEADING INTO SATURDAY EVENING...ALTHOUGH A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE PRESENT ALONG AND EAST OF A
MARTINSVILLE TO LYNCHBURG LINE. THESE REMAINING STORMS WILL BE OUT
OF OUR AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT...WITH RESIDUAL RAIN SHOWER ACTIVITY
LEFT ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.
ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE SUPPORTING UPPER LEVEL LOW PASSING
OVERHEAD DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH
THE UPPER LOW WILL TRIGGER UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS OUR WESTERN
RIDGES...WITH SPOTTY 1 TO 2 INCH ACCUMULATIONS FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF
NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...PERHAPS 3 INCHES
ACROSS WESTERN GREENBRIER COUNTY. BUT THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE
STRONG JET MAX PASSING ACROSS OUR AREA AS THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS EAST.
AS SUCH...THERE IS A STRONG POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS REACHING 60 MPH
ACROSS MUCH OF THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF
SUNDAY. THE HIGHER RIDGES WILL BE PARTICULARLY AFFECTED BEFORE DAWN
SUNDAY...WITH MODELS INDICATING THESE STRONGER GUSTS MIXING DOWN TO
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AFTER SUNRISE. HAVE THEREFORE ISSUED A HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND
VIRGINIA. EXPECT THAT WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST A WIND ADVISORY IN
EFFECT FOR SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA AND THE PIEDMONT DURING THIS
TIME...WHICH WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT AFTER REVIEW A
NEW SET OF MODELS.
THE PROXIMITY OF THE UPPER LOW WILL LIMIT SUNDAY AFTERNOON HEATING
AS WELL...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 40S ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...TO THE MID/UPPER 50S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. WILL WANT TO
HAVE A JACKET HANDY...AS THE STRONG GUSTS WILL MAKE IT FEEL AT TIMES
10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE.
WIND SPEEDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH SUNDAY EVENING/NIGHT AS LOW
PRESSURE PULLS AWAY AND HIGH PRESSURE BECOME THE DOMINANT FEATURE IN
OUR WEATHER PATTERN. WITH THE UPPER SYSTEM EXITING THE
REGION...MONDAY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES
WARMER THAN THOSE OF SUNDAY...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID 60S
WEST TO THE LOW 70S EAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS EAST OF THE REGION ON TUESDAY...ESTABLISHING
SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
PASSING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL DRAG A COLD
FRONT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE OHIO RIVER...BEFORE THE BOUNDARY STALLS AS
ANOTHER DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS ALONG THE LEE SIDE OF THE
ROCKIES. WITH THE FRONT SITUATED JUST TO THE NORTH OF OUR AREA...MAY
SEE A FEW SHOWERS DEVELOP ACROSS OUR AREA ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...GENERALLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 460...HOWEVER THIS ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN SPOTTY. THE PROLONGED SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALSO
PROVIDE US WITH VERY SPRING LIKE WEATHER...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM
THE MID 60S TO MID 70S EACH DAY...WHILE LOWS WILL REMAIN ABOVE
FREEZING MOST PLACES...RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO THE UPPER 40S.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 140 AM EDT SATURDAY...
NOT AN EASY AVIATION FORECAST BUT HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT ALL
TERMINALS WILL TANK INTO LOW END MVFR OR WORSE THRU DAWN...AS
INSITU WEDGE DEVELOPS. WILL SEE MAINLY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE THIS
MORNING WITH RAIN BECOMING STEADY BETWEEN 12Z-18Z ESPECIALLY AT
DAN/LYH.
SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE FROM THE TN VALLEY THIS MORNING TO SRN WV
GOING INTO THIS AFTERNOON WITH FRONT PUSHING EAST AROUND 21Z AT
BLF/LWB AND EXITING DAN/LYH AFTER 03Z. UNTIL THE FRONT WORKS IN
THE AIRMASS WILL STAY SATURATED WITH RAIN OR SHOWERS...AND LIGHT
WINDS EXCEPT A SE WIND HANGING ON AT BLF BUT STILL AROUND 10
KNOTS. CONFIDENCE IN VSBY/CIGS IN THIS ISSUANCE IS
MODERATE...THINKING LITTLE CHANCE OF VFR EXCEPT STARTING AT THE
MOMENT. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER LYH/DAN SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT COVERAGE IS LOW TO ADD TO TAFS. ONCE THE FRONT
MOVES ACROSS WILL BE STILL DEALING WITH THE UPPER SYSTEM OVER THE
CENTRAL/SRN APPALACHIANS WITH CIGS HANGING ON BELOW VFR. WEST
WINDS WILL BEGIN PICKING UP SATURDAY EVENING.
WINDS CONTINUE TO PICK UP BEHIND THE LOW SUNDAY MORNING...BEFORE
HIGH PRESSURE WORKS IN FOR MONDAY. SOME GUSTS OVER 35 KNOTS ARE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ROA/BCB. LOOK FOR IMPROVING CIGS/VSBYS
SATURDAY NIGHT EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN
THE WEST. SNOW SHOWERS AND SNOW FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
WESTERN UPSLOPE MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
DRY WEATHER AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.
