AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1145 PM EST SUN JAN 26 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEP AND EXPANSIVE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...ANCHORED ACROSS HUDSON
BAY...WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE
U.S. INTO THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK BEFORE FINALLY BEGINNING
RETREAT SOMEWHAT TO THE NORTH. A SERIES OF ALBERTA CLIPPERS WILL
CONTINUE TO SEND SURGES OF ARCTIC AIR INTO THE REGION...ALSO
PROVIDING FOR MINOR TO MODERATE ACCUMULATIONS OF UPSLOPE SNOW IN
THE ALLEGHANYS. THE NEXT SURGE OF BITTERLY COLD ARCTIC AIR IS
SLATED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1110 PM EST SUNDAY

AS EXPECTED THE COMBINATION OF CLEAR SKIES AND SOUTHWEST FLOW HAS
LEFT TEMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE...RANGING FROM 40S ALONG
HIGHER RIDGES WHILE SOME COLDER VALLEYS BOTTOMING OUT IN THE
TEENS.

PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION
AS OF 324 PM EST SUNDAY...

PRECIPITATION TYPE LOOKS MORE COMPLEX THAT FIRST THOUGHTS THIS
MORNING. HELD ON TO THE RAIN AND SNOW MIXTURE. HOWEVER...LOOK AT
TEMPERATURE PROFILES APPEARS THAT SOME SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN MAY
MIX IN DURING THE ONSET OF THE PRECIPITATION GENERALLY IN THE 10
TO 15Z WINDOW MONDAY. NCEP WPC HAS NO SLEET OR ZR AND DOWNPLAYED
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. AGREE THAT SNOWFALL SHOULD BE LIGHT...WITH
AROUND AN INCH OR LESS ACROSS THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF EXTREME SW
VA AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. THE HIGHEST TOTALS
WILL OCCUR IN WESTERN GREENBRIER COUNTY WHERE 2-4 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE ABOVE 2500 FEET.

WITH MINUS 20 850MB AIR MOVING INTO GREENBRIER COUNTY BY MONDAY
EVENING USED A NON DIURNAL CURVE IN THE TEMPERATURE ISC GRIDS WITH
FALLING TEMPERATURES FOR THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS INTO THE NEW RIVER
VALLEY MONDAY AFTERNOON. DOWNSLOPING WINDS MAKE HIGH TEMPERATURES
MONDAY CHALLENGE. HIGH MONDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S IN THE
NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER 50S IN THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EST SUNDAY...

WEAK VORTICITY COMING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE LARGE EASTERN UNITED
STATES UPPER TROF REACHES NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. AXIS OF
VORTICITY REMAINS JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE FORECAST
AREA...MAINLY FROM WESTERN NEW YORK THROUGH THE MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. ECMWF BRINGS THE MAIN TROF THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY.

COLDEST AIR AT 850MB...AROUND -22C...WILL BE OVER WEST VIRGINIA
TUESDAY MORNING...BUT MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. MOISTURE BELOW 850MB REMAINS IN THE WESTERN UPSLOPE AREAS
MONDAY NIGHT SO WILL KEEP CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS IN FOR THE
EVENING.

6HR PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE FRONT MONDAY NIGHT ARE IN THE +6 TO
+10 RANGE AND WITH A 35 TO 45 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET. THE NET RESULT
WILL BE GUSTY WINDS. MORE CRITICALLY...BECAUSE OF THE UNSEASONABLY
COLD TEMPERATURES...WIND CHILL VALUES WILL BE WELL BELOW ZERO. WIND
CHILL WARNINGS AND AND ADVISORIES WILL EXTEND WELL INTO TUESDAY
MORNING.

BEHIND THE FRONT AT THE SURFACE ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY A 1033MB
HIGH WILL BE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND MID ATLANTIC REGION. LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE
GFS AND SREF BRING THE ASSOCIATED MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION FARTHER
WEST THAN THE OTHER GUIDANCE. FOR NOW WILL BE LEAVING THE FORECAST
DRY. BY LATE WEDNESDAY DRIER AIR AT ALL LEVELS PUSHES INTO THE
FORECAST AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EST SUNDAY...

DURING THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST...THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN
CHANGES. THE CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEAST CANADA DRIFTS
NORTH CLOSER TO THE POLE. THIS OPENS THE DOOR FOR MORE OF A ZONAL
PATTERN ACROSS OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY...WITH UPSTREAM SYSTEMS
HAVING A MILDER PACIFIC NORTHWEST ORIGIN...AND LOW LEVEL
TRAJECTORIES WILL BE ABLE TO AGAIN TAP THE GULF OF MEXICO BY THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND.

WE EXPECT A GRADUAL WARMING TREND THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH
INCREASING LEVELS OF HUMIDITY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA
ON FRIDAY AND STALL OVER OR JUST NORTH OF THE REGION. INCREASED
MOISTURE FLOW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...AND DISTURBANCES RIDING
ALONG THIS FRONT WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN OUR FORECAST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODEL GUIDANCE VARIES AS TO THE DEGREE OF
PRECIPITATION THIS SCENARIO WILL BRING WITH THE GFS NOTABLY DRIER
THAN THE PREFERRED ECMWF. DESPITE THIS...HAVE NOT GONE TOO HIGH ON
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AT THIS POINT...MORE OF PERSISTENT SLIGHT
CHANCE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH
COVERAGE PROGRESSIVELY SPREADING ACROSS MORE OF THE REGION FROM WEST
TO EAST.

THE PRECIPITATION TYPE IS NOT CLEAR CUT. FORECAST LOWS FOR MANY
LOCATIONS ACROSS THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE ARE WILL BE
AT OR BELOW FREEZING. A NOSE OF WARM AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS
COINCIDENT TO THE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION MAY YIELD A WINTRY MIX OF
PRECIPITATION TYPES IN THIS AREA. FOR SIMPLICITY...AT THIS POINT
WILL ONLY OFFER A RAIN VERSUS FREEZING FORECAST WITH THE SURFACE
TEMPERATURE BEING THE DETERMINING FACTOR AS TO WHICH TYPE IN ANY
GIVEN AREA.

FOR TEMPERATURES...THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO STAY ON THE WARM SIDE OF
THE STALLED COLD FRONT. GOOD SOUTHWEST WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL ALLOW
FOR MODERATING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH HIGHS BY SUNDAY
RANGING FROM THE LOW TO MID 40S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND AROUND 50
TO THE MID 50S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 1130 PM EST SUNDAY...

STRONG COLD FRONT TO PUSH THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WILL REACH
WESTERN SECTION AROUND 12Z AND WILL BRING RAPID CHANGES TO
TERMINALS OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS. PCPN CHANCES INCREASING
IN THE WEST AND LIKELY TO BE BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN VSBY/CIGS WITH
MAINLY SNOW SHOWERS AHEAD OF AND ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY AT WESTERN
TAF SITES. MAIN EFFCT AT PIEDMONT TAFS WILL BE LOWER CIGS. WINDS
WILL SHIFT TO NORHTWEST AND INCREASE SHARPLY BEHIND THE FRONT
WITH SLOWLY IMPROVING CIG/VSBYS AT ALL SITES BY MID TO LATE
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE
WEEK. STRONG WINDS SHOULD SLACKEN BY LATE TUESDAY AND UPSLOPE
MVFR CONDITIONS AT KBLF/KLWB WILL ALSO IMPROVE...YIELDING VFR FOR
ALL SITES BY MIDWEEK. A SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFF THE SERN COAST AS
ENERGY ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF WILL THROW SOME MOISTURE
IN OUR DIRECTION...BUT LATEST INDICATIONS ARE THAT KLYH/KDAN WILL
REMAIN JUST OUTSIDE OF THE ASSOCIATED CLOUDS AND PCPN. THEN...THE
LARGE SCALE PATTERN WHICH HAS BEEN FEATURING AN ERN TROF AND WRN
RIDGE WILL FINALLY BE TRANSITIONING TO A ZONAL REGIME OVER OUR
AREA BY THE END OF THE WEEK. NEXT POTENTIAL WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BE
A FRONT WORKING IN FROM THE NW ON FRIDAY WITH A RETURN TO PCPN AND
MVFR CIGS.
