AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
208 PM EST FRI JAN 17 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF CLIPPER SYSTEMS WILL PROGRESS THROUGH THE REGION OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. ONE WILL MOVE TO OUR NORTH TODAY AND PUSH
A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BY TONIGHT. ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL
THEN AFFECT US ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY. YET ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ON MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1025 AM EST FRIDAY...

LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SCATTERED CLOUD COVER ALONG
THE WESTERN RIDGES...WITH A FEW BANDS OF CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS THE
SOUTHSIDE. OTHERWISE...MOST AREAS ARE RECEIVING PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE. JUST ABOUT ALL LOCATIONS HAVE RISEN INTO THE 30S...AND
EXPECT THESE TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE RISING THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON BEFORE CLOUD COVER INCREASES WITH THE APPROACH OF OUR
NEXT COLD FRONT. MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO AFTERNOON HIGHS...
MAINLY FOR AREAS WHERE CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED TO LINGER FOR THE
NEXT HOUR OR TWO...BUT NOTHING DRASTIC.

RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES THAT THE LIGHT SNOW TO OUR WEST ASSOCIATED
WITH THE APPROACHING LOW/COLD FRONT IS ARRIVING A FEW HOURS FASTER
THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. OUR LOCAL WRF MODEL SEEMS TO BE HANDLING
THE PRECIPITATION BEST...AND THEREFORE HAVE TWEAKED THE FORECAST
TIMING IN ITS FAVOR.

FRONTAL CONVERGENCE AND UPPER SUPPORT OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO BRING SNOW SHOWERS AS FAR EAST AS THE BLUE
RIDGE AND EVEN THE FOOTHILLS BY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING. WENT WITH
CATEGORICAL POPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF SE WV INTO TAZEWELL...WITH
HIGH CHANCE/LOW LIKELYS FROM THE ALLEGHANYS AND PORTIONS OF THE
BLUE RIDGE SOUTHWEST INTO THE NC MOUNTAINS. PATH OF THE UPPER VORT
WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED THIS EVENING BUT FAVORS SNOW SHOWERS
REACHING THE PIEDMONT IN THE EVENING BEFORE THE SUPPORTING UPPER
TROUGH HEADS OFF THE COAST. AT THIS TIME...MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS
LIGHT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS... WITH UP TO 3 INCHES ACROSS WRN
GREENBRIER TO 1-2 INCHES FOR TAZEWELL-SUMMERS AND THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF GRAYSON/ASHE...AND LESS THAN AN INCH ACROSS THE
NRV/ROANOKE/SOUTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEYS...AND PERHAPS A DUSTING AS
FAR EAST AS LYNCHBURG TO MARTINSVILLE.

NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN ADVISORY AFTER COLLABORATION WITH
NEIGHBORS...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH HOW RADAR/LATER MODELS HANDLE
PRECIPITATION AS THE SHORTWAVE PIVOTS EAST THIS AFTERNOON.

THE OTHER ISSUE LATER TONIGHT WILL BE THE POST FRONTAL WINDS.
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS AND
WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE TEENS...SOME WIND CHILLS COULD
REACH -5 DEGREES. AT THIS TIME...THIS IS ONLY THE CASE OVER THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS...SO MOST OF THE POPULATION SHOULD SEE WIND
CHILLS AROUND ZERO MOST OF THE TIME. IF WINDS LOOK TO BE
STRONGER...OR THE COLDER AIR MOVES IN FASTER...THEN A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE NC MOUNTAINS/AND PORTIONS OF FAR SW
VA/SE WV LATE TONIGHT/SAT MORNING. WILL MENTION THIS IN THE HWO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM EST FRIDAY...

ANOTHER CLIPPER WILL ROTATE EAST AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF
FOR SATURDAY. MORNING SNOW SHOWERS AND SNOW FLURRIES IN THE WEST
WILL DIMINISH INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON. PLAYED THE HIGHEST POPS IN
THE NORTHWEST. THE COMBINATION OF WINDS BECOMING SOUTHWESTERLY AS
THE NEXT TROUGH NEARS OUR AREA AND SOME SUNSHINE WILL ALLOW HIGHS
TEMPERATURES SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO REBOUND TO THE LOWER AND MID 20
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...TO THE UPPER 30S ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. MID
AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY
EVENING. IN THIS PROGRESSIVE PATTERN...THE NEXT CLIPPER DROPS
SOUTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL
REGENERATE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN
RIDGES. LOW TEMPERATURES SATURDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE TEENS IN
THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 20S IN THE PIEDMONT.

MOISTURE WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY BECOMES SHALLOW AS SUNDAY
PROGRESSES. AS A RESULT...EXPECT SNOW SHOWERS TO TAPER OFF ACROSS
THE WEST SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH CLEARING SKIES FOR THE EVENING
AND THE OVERNIGHT. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH...WINDS
ALOFT BECOMING MORE ZONAL...AND THE 500 MB HEIGHT RISES WILL
SUPPORT WARMER SUNDAY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL
VARY FROM THE LOWER 30S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 40S IN THE
PIEDMONT. COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE OHIO
RIVER SUNDAY NIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY NIGHT WILL VARY
FROM AROUND 20 DEGREES IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO NEAR 30 IN
THE SOUTHEAST. FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ON
MONDAY AND WILL CROSS OUR REGION MONDAY NIGHT. AFTER HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY FROM THE LOWER 40S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO
AROUND 60 DEGREES IN THE PIEDMONT...TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO LOWS
IN THE TEENS IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 30 IN THE PIEDMONT MONDAY
NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EST THURSDAY...

BOTH THE ECMWF/GFS ARE NOW BRINGING THE ARCTIC AIR ACROSS OUR REGION
ALMOST 24 HRS FASTER THAN YESTERDAY'S MODEL SUITE. ALTHOUGH NOT GOING
EXPLICITLY WITH H85 TEMPS...DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE SOME LARGE
ADJUSTMENTS DOWNWARD TO REFLECT TRENDS. BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF HAVE LESS
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT WHICH IS ALLOWING THE BOUNDARY TO
PASS THROUGH MUCH QUICKER. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR THE DEEPER
VALLEYS TO BE IN THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE REST
OF THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED FROM
YESTERDAY'S PACKAGE. ALSO...THE UPSLOPE SNOW EVENT WOULD BE NOW
STARTING MONDAY NIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH TUESDAY. STILL THE
POSSIBILITY FOR SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS IN THE FAVORED UPSLOPE
REGIONS OF SE WEST VA. UNLIKE OTHER COLD OUTBREAKS THIS
SEASON...APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS ONE WILL HAVE STAYING POWER WITH
ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES DUMPING INTO THE WEST SIDE OF THE EASTERN
TROUGH...REINFORCING IT. ONE OF THESE WAVES MAY ARRIVE DURING THE
MIDDLE OR END OF THE WORK WEEK...WHICH AT THIS POINT LOOKS LIKE A
CLIPPER.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM EST FRIDAY...

SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES CU FIELDS SIMILAR TO THOSE OFTEN SEEN
DURING WARMER MONTHS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG THE RIDGES FROM ROA
WESTWARD THIS AFTERNOON. THAT...COMBINED WITH A FEW LIGHTNING
STRIKES OBSERVED WITH THE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY PASSING ACROSS
KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA EARLIER TODAY ARE INDICATIVE OF THE
INSTABILITY OF THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH...CURRENTLY MOVING
OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA. RADAR ALREADY INDICATING A FEW RETURNS
DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...LIKELY REACHING THE
SURFACE AS RAIN CONSIDERING THAT TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED INTO
THE LOW TO MID 40S...BUT A FEW SNOW FLAKES MAY BE IN THE MIX.

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO REMAIN VFR THROUGH THIS EVENING...WHEN
CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO MVFR/LOW VFR FOR A FEW HOURS FOR MOST TAF
SITES EXCEPT DAN...WHICH WILL REMAIN VFR. ALSO HAVE VISIBILITIES
LOWERING OVERNIGHT AS THE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY MOVES ACROSS OUR
AREA. CONSIDERING THE INSTABILITY...MAY HAVE A FEW BURSTS OF HEAVY
SNOW THAT LOWER VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN A MILE...MAINLY
AFFECTING BLF...LWB...BCB...BUT POSSIBLY ALSO ROA AND LYH. THESE
BURSTS SHOULD NOT LAST LONG. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AFTER 18/07Z
AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES THE AREA...BRINGING A NORTHWEST WIND
SHIFT. SNOW SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF FROM EAST TO WEST THEREAFTER...
WITH GRADUALLY IMPROVING CEILINGS AFTER SUNRISE. THE OTHER CONCERN
WILL BE WEST NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 20KTS TO 25KTS AFTER FROPA
AS THE MAIN ENERGY OF THE UPPER TROUGH PASSES THROUGH. LIGHT TO
MODERATE CHOP CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE CROSS BARRIER FLOW. WIND
SPEEDS WILL SUBSIDE DURING LATE SATURDAY MORNING...WITH DIRECTION
BACKING TO SOUTHWESTERLY BY EVENING AHEAD OF OUR NEXT SYSTEM.

ANOTHER STRONGER DISTURBANCE CROSSES THE AREA ON SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WILL PROLONG THE MVFR CONDITIONS IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND WILL BE FOLLOWED ON SUNDAY BY STRONG GUSTY WINDS.
WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN THE
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN. CLIPPER SYSTEMS WILL RACE THROUGH THE
REGION EVERY 12 TO 24 HOURS. THIS WILL RESULT IN BRIEF PERIOD OF
SUB-VFR CONDITIONS...FOLLOWED BY A RETURN TO VFR IN BETWEEN
SYSTEMS. CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF THESE FEATURES IS LOW AT THIS
TIME. THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD FOR SNOW SHOWERS AT THIS TIME LOOKS
TO BE ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
