AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
114 PM EST SAT JAN 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SUNDAY.
ANOTHER FRONT ARRIVES BY TUESDAY WITH SURGE OF COLDER AIR PUSHING
IN BEHIND IT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1250 PM EST SATURDAY...

ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GOING FORECAST. THE SWATH OF
PRECIPITATION ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT IS CONTINUING IS
PROGRESSION ACROSS THE AREA. THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS STILL
EXISTS...BUT ONLY ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA FOR
ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO. WINDS ARE BECOMING GUSTY FROM THE SOUTHWEST
IN THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE AREA. THEY WILL START TO BECOME
WESTERLY SOON AS THE FRONT ARRIVES AND THE WIND SHIFT.

AS OF 1005 AM EST SATURDAY...

BIGGEST ADJUSTMENT TO THE FORECAST THIS MORNING REFLECTS TWO
DISTINCT AREAS OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. THE FIRST IS
CURRENTLY EXITING THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE REGION. SOME
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH IT...AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION ISOLATED THUNDER ALONG ITS LEADING EDGE AS IT
PROGRESSES EASTWARD. THE NEXT ROUND OF PRECIPITATION ALONG AND
JUST AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WHILE NO THUNDER HAS
BEEN NOTED YET WITH IT...WE EXPECT ISOLATED THUNDER TO BE POSSIBLE
WITH ITS LEADING EDGE AS IT TOO PROGRESSES EASTWARD THROUGH THE
REGION. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH LEADING EDGE.
HOWEVER...GIVEN ITS SPEED...AND WATER ISSUES MAY BE IN URBAN
AREAS. HAVE ALSO SPED UP THE TIMING OF THE ENDING OF THE
PRECIPITATION IN THE WEST...OR AT LEAST THE HEAVY AND ABUNDANT
AREAS. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL BE COMMON ALONG
AND BEHIND THIS LEADING EDGE.

AS OF 300 AM EST SATURDAY...

CAD IN PLACE AND WILL HANG TOUGH THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY UNTIL
FRONTAL PASSAGE AND HEAVIER SHOWERS SCOURS IT OUT. THIS POSES A
TRICKY TEMP FORECAST...BUT THINK IT WILL GET MILDER THAN THE MET
GUIDANCE BUT NOT AS WARM AS MAV OUT EAST. THE MODELS SHOWING WEDGE
FRONT RAINFALL IN PIECES THIS MORNING ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS
OF THE CWA...THEN FRONTAL SHOWERS ARRIVING IN THE MTNS BY LATE
MORNING AND EXITING THE PIEDMONT EARLY THIS EVENING. THE SPC FOLKS
NUDGED THE SLIGHT RISK OF SVR TO THE EAST...BUT STILL INSTABILITY
AND SHEAR MAY BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT GUSTY THUNDER IN THE FAR SE THIS
AFTERNOON.

RAINFALL SHOULD BE GENEROUS ON THE ORDER OF ONE HALF TO ONE AN A
HALF INCHES. EXPECT COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL THE
EVENING. LOOKING AT THE DRY SLOT PUSHING INTO THE MTNS THIS
AFTERNOON THEN SE WV/NW NC GETTING INTO UPSLOPE SHOWERS OVERNIGHT
WITH UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS. NOT A LOT OF QPF SO NOT EXPECTING
MUCH SNOWFALL...UP TO AN INCH IN WRN GREENBRIER.

PRESSURE RISES/CAA AND 45 KNOT LOW LVL WINDS WILL BRING GUSTY
CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT...WITH A SECOND SURGE TOWARD DAWN SUNDAY. AT
THIS TIME HEDGING GUSTS TO UNDER 40 KNOTS...SO NO ADVISORY FOR WINDS
AT THIS TIME. TEMPS TONIGHT WILL BE DROPPING TO THE LOWER 30S WEST
TO UPPER 30S EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 AM EST SATURDAY...

A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...WITH A
SERIES OF FAIRLY HEALTHY FULL-LATITUDE SHORT WAVES SLATED TO
CROSS THE REGION DURING THE TIME FRAME. THE SATURDAY SYSTEM WILL
BE WELL OFF THE COAST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHORT TERM. UPSLOPE
-SHSN MAY CONTINUE FOR A FEW HOURS INTO THE MORNING SUN...BUT SFC
WINDS BEGIN TO BACK TO THE SW FAIRLY QUICKLY THROUGH THE DAY IN
RESPONSE TO THE NEXT UPSTREAM TROUGH...AT THIS TIME FRAME MOVING
INTO THE ROCKIES...WITH SHORT WAVE RIDGING ALOFT NOTED INTO OUR
AREA BY AFTERNOON. THUS...ADDITIONAL UPSLOPE POTENTIAL APPEARS
NEGLIGIBLE. IN ADDITION...TEMPS WARM FAIRLY QUICKLY AT 850MB AND
BY AFTERNOON ARE ALREADY WELL ABOVE 0C...EVEN +4C IN THE
MOUNTAINS. THUS...SUN SHOULD TURN OUT TO BE A FAIRLY PLEASANT DAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S MOUNTAINS AND 50S PIEDMONT AND ABUNDANT
SUNSHINE BY AFTERNOON.

THE AFOREMENTIONED FULL-LATITUDE UPSTREAM TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO
THE REGION MON. LIMITED MOISTURE RETURN AND QUICK TIMING BEHIND
THE SAT-SUN SYSTEM WILL LEAD TO LIMITED QPF...MAINLY 0.10 TO 0.20
INCH -SHRA ACTIVITY. TEMPS ARE TOO WARM ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE
SYSTEM FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN RAIN...BUT DYNAMICS ARE STRONG
ENOUGH FOR -SHRA IN MOST PARTS OF THE CWA...BUT THE BEST CHCS
SHOULD BE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS WITH AID FROM UPSLOPE.

FOR TUE-WED...A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH IS NOTED ACROSS THE EASTERN
U.S...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF 35 DEG LATITUDE...AS AN ALBERTA CLIPPER
MERGES WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM. MODEST CAA ADVECTION IS
NOTED WITH THIS DEEPENING TROUGH...WHICH SHOULD CRANK UP THE
UPSLOPE MACHINE TO AT LEAST MODEST AMOUNTS ACROSS THE ALLEGHANYS.
HOWEVER...MORE IMPORTANT IS AN AREA OF PVA ROUNDING THE BASE OF
THE TROUGH THROUGH THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND THEN PIVOTING
NEWD INTO THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA EARLY WED. BOTH THE ECMWF
AND GFS CLEARLY DEPICT THIS FEATURE...WHICH COULD RESULT IN A SNOW
EVENT OF SOME SIGNIFICANCE IN A SMALL AREA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE NEW RIVER VALLEY AND IMMEDIATE ADJACENT AREAS TO THE WEST. THE
FEATURE IS SMALL AND COMPACT AND THERE ARE NOTABLE DIFFERENCES IN
THE ECMWF AND GFS PLACEMENT OF THIS FEATURE...WITH THE GFS MORE
ACROSS NC AND THE ECMWF MORE INTO THE NEW RIVER/SHENANDOAH
VALLEY...SIMILAR SUCH SNEAKY SYSTEMS IN THE PAST HAVE NETTED SOME
ACCUMULATING SNOW TO SAY THE LEAST...SO THIS WILL CERTAINLY NEED
TO BE WATCHED FOR CONSISTENCY. FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA...THIS
WOULD OCCUR TUE NIGHT- WED. THUS...FOR NOW...HAVE ADVERTISED -SHSN
WEST TO -SHRA/-SHSN EAST WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME.

TEMPERATURES WILL TREND COLDER WITH THE UPPER TROUGHING...BUT
GIVEN THAT 850MB TEMPS BOTTOM OUT IN THE -12C RANGE...NOTHING
COMPARED TO OUR RECENT BELOW ZERO SPELL. MOST AREAS OUTSIDE THE
MOUNTAINS WILL STILL SEE MAX TEMPS IN THE 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 415 AM EST SATURDAY...

MUCH OF THE EXTENDED WILL BE DOMINATED BY THE POLAR VORTEX/EASTERN
U.S. TROUGHING. HOWEVER...IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS
SITUATION IN NO WAY RIVALS THE DEPTH AND DEGREE OF COLD AIR WE SAW
EARLIER THIS WEEK. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
MAJORITY OF THE PERIOD...BUT THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS GRADUALLY SHIFTS
NE OF THE REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD. THUS...FURTHER ALBERTA
CLIPPERS AND THEIR EFFECTS...AT LEAST IN TERMS OF ANY
MOISTURE...SHOULD REMAIN NE OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE
PERIOD. OVERALL...EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS WITH VARIABLE
CLOUDINESS...DETERMINED LARGELY BY CLIPPERS PASSING TO THE NORTH
OF THE AREA THROUGH THE MEAN TROUGH...AND SEASONABLY COOL
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD. OUTSIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS IN
DOWNSLOPE AREAS...WOULD EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY AND A GOOD 10-15
DEGREES WARMER THAN IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH UPSLOPE CLOUDS AND
COLDER TEMPERATURES. BOTTOMLINE...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CONCERNS
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 110 PM EST SATURDAY...

A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OVER THE AREA...WHICH WILL SLOWLY ERODE
THE WEDGE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES HAVE
BOUNCED UP AND DOWN DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...AND MODEL
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW LITTLE CONFIDENCE THROUGH THE EVENING
ON THE EXACT TIMING AND CATEGORIES. THE OVERALL TIMING OF THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE APPEARS TO BE AN HOUR OR TWO EARLIER THAN
ANTICIPATED BASED ON CURRENT SATELLITE AND RADAR. CEILINGS MAY
STILL DROP TO IFR AT TIMES FOR LYH/DAN UNTIL THE WEDGE
BREAKS...AND MVFR CONDITIONS MAY APPEAR ELSEWHERE. SURFACE WINDS
SHOULD INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND TURN TO THE WEST AS THE
FRONT ADVANCES...WITH GUSTS REACHING 20-30 KT. THE RAIN SHOULD
CLEAR ALL SITES BY 00Z TONIGHT...WHICH WOULD ALLOW VFR
CONDITIONS TO RETURN FOR ROA/LYH/DAN. FOR BLF/LWB/BCB...SOME
STRATOCUMULUS AND A STRAY SNOW SHOWER AIDED BY UPSLOPE FLOW MAY
KEEP THESE SITES AT MVFR DURING THE NIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD ARRIVE BY SUNDAY TO ALLOW SKIES TO
CLEAR...AND BRING VFR CONDITIONS FOR ALL SITES. THE NEXT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS PROJECTED TO ARRIVE BY MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING...WHICH WOULD BRING SOME MVFR CONDITIONS AND RAIN
SHOWERS IN THE PIEDMONT...WITH A FEW SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE
MOUNTAINS. THE LONG RANGE MODELS SHOW A SMALL CLIPPER SYSTEM
TRACKING OVER THE MID ATLANTIC BY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS WITH THIS COMPACT FEATURE...BUT IT
WILL BE WORTH WATCHING AS SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW MAY OCCUR FOR
BLF/LWB ON WEDNESDAY...AND EVEN BCB/ROA MAY SEE A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK...WHILE MVFR CONDITIONS MAY BE MORE
LIKELY IN THE MOUNTAINS DURING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
