AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1138 PM EST FRI JAN 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN PARKED ACROSS SOUTHEAST
CANADA. A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THIS LOW
AND PROGRESS NEAR OR THROUGH OUR REGION...EACH WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR SNOW SHOWERS...GUSTY CONDITIONS...AND LOW WIND CHILLS...MAINLY
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. THE NEXT DISTURBANCE TO CROSS THE AREA WILL
BE ON SATURDAY...ANOTHER ON MONDAY. THERE IS ALSO AN AREA OF
DISTURBED WEATHER ALONG THE GULF COAST. SOME OF THIS MOISTURE MAY
GET DRAWN NORTHWARD INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 955 PM EST FRIDAY...

THE BIGGEST ADJUSTMENT TO THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT IS A
COMBINATION OF TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS. MANY LOCATIONS IN THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN PARTS OF THE AREA HAVE ALREADY REACHED ARE
WITHIN A COUPLE DEGREES OF THE FORECAST LOW TEMPERATURES. WE ARE
EXPECTING THESE AREAS TO CONTINUE TO FALL A FEW MORE DEGREES
BEFORE ADVANCING CLOUD COVER THICKENS AND HELPS KEEP TEMPERATURES
STEADY OR A BIT OF A RISE LATER TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY AS SOUTHWEST
WINDS INCREASE IN THE WEST. THIS DECREASE ALLOWS FOR A GREATER
EXPANSE OF THE REGION TO MEET WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HAVE INCLUDED THE REMAINDER OF THE COUNTIES
WEST OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND THOSE GENERALLY ALONG
AND NORTH OF ROUTE 460 IN VIRGINIA BETWEEN ROANOKE AND APPOMATTOX.
HAVE BACKED THE START TIME TO THE CURRENT TIME FOR ALL THE WIND
CHILL ADVISORY COUNTIES.

AS OF 630 PM EST FRIDAY...

NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST EARLY THIS EVENING. HAVE
INCREASED CLOUD COVER JUST A LITTLE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE BROKEN VEIL
OF HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER ENTERING THE REGION WEST TO EAST.
ALSO...HAVE ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT TO REFLECT
BOTH THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND THE EXPECTED TRENDS THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS.

AS OF 345 PM EST FRIDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER TENNESSEE WILL BUILD EAST TONIGHT
INTO SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT WILL DROP
QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET WITH MOST AREAS HEADED BACK INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS AND LOWER 20S. HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT LATE.
LOW TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
TO THE TEENS. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN POSTED IN THE
MOUNTAINS WHERE WIND CHILLS WILL BE AS COLD AS MINUS 5 TO MINUS
15.

STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL RACE FROM THE UPPER GREAT LAKES INTO THE MID-
ATLANTIC ON SATURDAY. THIS CLIPPER WILL PUSH ANOTHER ARCTIC COLD
FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION LATER SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORIES ARE POSTED FOR SATURDAY. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2
TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE FROM GREENBRIER COUNTY SOUTHWARD TO
TAZEWELL COUNTY IN VIRGINIA...WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN
WESTERN GREENBRIER COUNTY. ACROSS THE REST OF SOUTHEAST WEST
VIRGINIA 1 TO 2 INCHES COULD FALL. AN INCH OR TWO IS POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA...AND GENERALY
LESS THAN AN INCH ELSEWHERE. WINDS INCREASE IN SPEED SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND WILL APPROACH WIND ADVISORIES LEVELS IN THE SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS. HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 20
DEGREES IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO NEAR 40 DEGREES IN THE
PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EST FRIDAY...

ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LEFT OVER THE MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT FOR
UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS. SHORT WAVE WILL BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA
BY EARLY MORNING SUNDAY. DECENT PRESSURE RISES ON SATURDAY NIGHT
WILL ENHANCE THE WINDS.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN CROSSES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT REACHING THE
FORECAST AREA BY MONDAY MORNING. BEST WARM AIR ADVECTION AND LIFT
REMAIN NORTH OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA ON SUNDAY. SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY MODELS SHOW BETTER FORCING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND ENOUGH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE TO KEEP SNOW SHOWERS IN THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
ANOTHER SURGE ON WELL BELOW NORMAL AIR ARRIVES BEHIND THE FRONT ON
MONDAY.

STAYED CLOSE TO BIAS CORRECTED MAV GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
FALLING TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE MOUNTAINS
LATE ON MONDAY.  MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY MAY END UP BEING
BELOW GUIDANCE IN THE WESTERN COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST AREA THAT GET
SNOW ON SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EST FRIDAY...

THE MASSIVE POLAR LOW OVER HUDSON BAY CANADA...OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
THE POLAR VORTEX...WILL MAINTAIN ITS POSITION MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY...AS WELL AS ITS INFLUENCE OVER OUR WEATHER PATTERN.

WILL START MONDAY EVENING OFF WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO OUR
AREA FROM THE WEST...IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING COLD FRONT. MONDAY
NIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL FALL RAPIDLY...TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND IN THE LOW TO MID TEENS EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. AS SUCH...WILL START TUESDAY MORNING OFF WITH WIND
CHILLS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS EASILY IN THE ADVISORY TERRITORY OF -5F
TO -15F...POSSIBLY DROPPING TO -20F OR LOWER ACROSS WESTERN
GREENBRIER COUNTY. TEMPERATURES TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL REBOUND
SOMEWHAT...BUT WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW FREEZING AREAWIDE.

THERE WAS CONCERN YESTERDAY OF A COASTAL LOW DEVELOPING TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...SPREADING SNOW ACROSS OUR AREA. TODAY...BOTH
THE GFS AND ECMWF FORECAST MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON THIS
EVENT...ALTHOUGH THE ECMWF STILL INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR MODEST
SNOWFALL ACROSS THE PIEDMONT ON TUESDAY NIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE FORECAST...AS AM HESITANT TO MAKE A
DRASTIC CHANGE UNTIL THE MODELS GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THIS EVENT.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...THE FORECAST LOOKS DRY...WITH A GRADUAL
WARMING TREND AS THE POLAR LOW IS FINALLY SHOWING SIGNS OF BREAKING
DOWN. AS SUCH...WILL SEE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY BY A FEW DEGREES EACH DAY...ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL
STILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR LATE JANUARY. THE WARMING
TRENDS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE POLAR LOW
RETREATS FURTHER AWAY FROM OUR REGION.

AN ASSOCIATED INCREASE IN NORTHWEST WINDS CONCURRENT AND IN THE
WAKE OF EACH SYSTEM.
