AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1151 PM EST WED JAN 1 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE TONIGHT GIVES WAY TO A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING SOME
WINTRY WEATHER AND MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AFTERNOON
INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 1135 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

CONTINUED INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS. TEMPS HAVE FALLEN COLDER THAN
FORECAST BUT SHOULD STEADY OUT AND EVEN RISE TOWARD DAWN AS MID
CLOUDS ARRIVE FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

RIDGES WILL STAY ELEVATED IN THE 30S AS WILL THE SOUTHEAST
CWA...WHILE MTN VALLEYS DROP INTO THE 20S. LOOKS LIKE THE LATEST
MODELS SLOW DOWN TIMING OF PRECIP UNTIL AFTER 14Z...SO OVERNIGHT
POPS WERE LOWERED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 325 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH OUR FIRST WINTER STORM
OF THE NEW YEAR...THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL AMPLIFY THURSDAY MOVING EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC ON FRIDAY. THE THREE SURFACE WAVES REMAIN IN
PLAY WITH A SOUTHERN STREAM GULF WAVE MERGING INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL LOW THURSDAY AFTERNOON. YESTERDAYS 12Z MODELS
HAD THE COASTAL LOW DOMINATING EARLY AND THROUGHOUT THE EVENT.
TODAYS MODELS HAS THE NORTHERN STREAM SURFACE LOW...ASSOCIATED
WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...THE DOMINATE LOW THURSDAY...THEN
GETS ABSORBED INTO THE COASTAL LOW THURSDAY NIGHT. THE ONLY CHANGE
THIS WILL MAKE IN THE FORECAST IS TO HAVE WARM TEMPERATURES TO
START THE MORNING AND DELAYING ONSET OF RAIN UNTIL EARLY
AFTERNOON. ONCE THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS COMMENCE PHASING
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THE NORTHERN STREAM LOW BEGINS TO MERGE
WITH THE COASTAL WAVE...COLD AIR WILL GET DRAWN IN ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS QUICKLY...CHANGING RAIN OVER TO SNOW IN HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. CHANGE OVER TO SNOW COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS 3P ACROSS
WESTERN SUMMERS AND GREENBRIER COUNTIES. THICKNESSES BEGIN TO
CRASH THURSDAY EVENING...WHILE THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE GETS
SHUNTED EAST. BEFORE THE AREA GETS INTO DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW BY
7P...AND INCH OR TWO OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE ALONG ELEVATIONS ABOVE
3000 FEET. RAINFALL TOTAL FOR THE FORECAST AREA MAY RANGE FROM
0.05-0.15 OF AN INCH WITH AN ISOLATED 0.25 OF AN INCH OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. THE AREA GETS DRY SLOTTED EARLY THURSDAY EVENING...THEN
THE REST OF THE PRECIPITATION WITH THIS EVENT WILL BE OVER THE
MOUNTAINS...MAINLY ON WESTERN SLOPES ABOVE 2500 FEET.

THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH AND MOISTURE AXIS TARGETS THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS THURSDAY EVENING...THEN SOUTHEASTERN WV FRIDAY
MORNING. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE FROM 2-4 INCHES ACROSS THE
WESTERN SLOPES OF NC HIGH COUNTY/GRAYSON HIGHLANDS INTO EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING...TAPERING TO FLURRIES BY SUNRISE. SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS WESTERN SLOPES OF SW VA MOUNTAIN EMPIRE AND
SE WV WILL RANGE FROM 2- 5 INCHES...TAPERING TO FLURRIES BY LATE
FRIDAY MORNING. ACROSS THE INTERIOR MOUNTAINS...UP TO 2 INCHES
POSSIBLE ON WESTERN SLOPES TO 0.2-0.5 OF AN INCH ELSEWHERE. A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW HAS BEEN ISSUED
FOR EXTREME WESTERN SLOPES OF RNK CWA.

DESPITE HAVING THE CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW...IT IS NOT THE
BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM. STRONGER PRESSURE RISES AND COLD
AIR ADVECTION WILL BRING WINDY AND GUSTY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA
WITH THE HIGHEST GUSTS ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE. WIND GUSTS OF 55 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE...THEREFORE A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
COUNTIES ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY.

TEMPERATURES BY FRIDAY MORNING WILL RANGE FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS
TO UPPER TEEN ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. STRONG WINDS AND COLD
TEMPERATURES WILL PRODUCE WINDS CHILLS FROM -/+ 10F IN THE WEST TO
+10F/+20F IN THE EAST. ANYONE VENTURING OUT FRIDAY MORNING WILL
NEED TO DRESS FOR BLUSTERY...VERY VERY COLD CONDITIONS. THE
FORECASTED HIGH TEMPERATURE ON FRIDAY...NOT WIND CHILLS...WILL
RANGE FROM THE MID TEENS TO LOWER 20S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS TO MID
20S TO LOWER 30S IN THE EAST. THESE TEMPERATURES ARE 20F COLDER
THAN NORMAL. FRIDAYS WIND CHILL WILL BE 10F TO 15F COLDER THAN THE
ACTUAL TEMPERATURE. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WILL BE EMBEDDED INTO
THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AND HIGH WIND WATCH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

THE SECOND WINTRY SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGION IN A WEEK/S TIME
WILL DO SO DURING THIS PERIOD OF THE FORECAST...SPECIFICALLY
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THE PRECIPITATION WILL COME
IN TWO PHASES.

ON SATURDAY...THE REGION WILL STILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRY
HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL BE STARTING TO PROGRESS EASTWARD TO THE
COAST. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DEVELOP HEADING INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ANTI-CYCLONIC HIGH...AND IN ADVANCE
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THIS FIRST PHASE OF PRECIPITATION
WILL BEGIN SATURDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AS MOISTURE
FLUX INTO THE REGION INCREASES. WHILE WE WILL HAVE A WARM NOSE
ALOFT...SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT OR FALL BELOW FREEZING
THROUGH THE NIGHT AS WET-BULBING TAKES PLACE AS THE PRECIPITATION
COOLS THE COLUMN. WE ARE EXPECTING A MIX OF LIGHT RAIN AND LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN ACROSS SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA AND OUR NORTH CAROLINA
COUNTIES SATURDAY NIGHT. DURING THE DAY SUNDAY...THE PRECIPITATION
WILL EXPAND NORTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE
AREA...BUT AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES RISE...THE PRECIPITATION WILL
BE ALL RAIN BY NOON. AS SUNDAY PROGRESSES...THE BEST TRAJECTORIES
FOR THE MOISTURE FLUX WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE CENTERED OVER
CENTRAL TO EASTERN VA/NC...SO THERE SHOULD BE A GRADUAL TREND
TOWARD DECREASING PRECIPITATION COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PARTS OF THE AREA.

PHASE TWO OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES INTO...THROUGH...AND THEN EAST
OF THE AREA. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...MUCH COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE
OVER THE AREA ALONG WITH A GOOD COVERAGE OF SNOW
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...A
STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WILL EXIST ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW
FOR DOWNSLOPING CONDITION EAST OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THAT
WILL BRING THE PRECIPITATION TO QUICK END...FOLLOWED CLOSELY IN
TIME BY RAPIDLY DECREASING CLOUD COVER. ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS ON
MONDAY...ESPECIALLY THE WEST FACING SLOPES OF SOUTHEAST WEST
VIRGINIA SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA...THE
UPSLOPE SNOW MACHINE WILL BE ACTIVE WITH FLURRIES SPREADING AS FAR
EAST AS THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA ON STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE AIR WILL ALSO TREND
DRIER WHICH WILL HELP DECREASE THE COVERAGE OF THE UPSLOPE SNOW
SHOWERS. HOWEVER...WITH 850 MB AIR EXPECTED TO BE -15 TO -20 C
RANGE...FLURRIES WILL BE POSSIBLE SIMPLY VIA EXISTENCE OF CLOUD
COVER. HAVE ALLOWED FOR THIS SCENARIO INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...A BROAD AREA OF SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE UPPER OHIO RIVER VALLEY.
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN...AND GRADUALLY VEER MORE NORTHERLY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRICKY AS THE BULK OF THE COLDEST AIR ALOFT
WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA...BUT A POTENTIAL SNOW PACK...LIGHTER
WINDS...AND LIMITED CLOUD COVER MAY ALLOW FOR SOME VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. FOR NOW...HELP KEPT LOWS MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR THE MOST PART OF
THE MOUNTAINS AND TEENS ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF SOME OF THE DEEPER MOUNTAIN VALLEYS BOTH NIGHTS REACH
LOWS AROUND 5 TO 10 BELOW ZERO.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1135 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

VFR EXPECTED TONIGHT AND EARLY THU MORNING BUT SHOULD SEE CIGS
SINKING TO AROUND 4-8KFT BY 12Z-15Z...THEN DROPPING INTO MVFR WITH
RAIN THU AFTERNOON. MODELS ARE PAINTING POTENTIAL FOR IFR AT BLF
IN THE LATE AFTN AS FRONT PASSES AND WNW FLOW INCREASES. GIVEN
LATE IN THE PERIOD KEPT SCATTERED BELOW 1KFT AND OVC JUST ABOVE.

RAIN WILL BE CHANGING TO SNOW LATE AFTERNOON IN THE MTNS...THEN
MODELS DRYING IT OUT WITH NW FLOW INCREASING SUBSTANTIALLY THU
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. EXPECT SUB VFR CONDITIONS ALL SITES TO BECOME
VFR AFTER THIS TAF PERIOD AT LEAST FROM ROANOKE AND EAST...WHILE
BLF/LWB/BCB ALL STAY MVFR OR WORSE WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOWERS
AT BLF. THE BIG ISSUE WILL BE WINDS AND GUSTS TO 40 TO 55 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE AT ALL TAF SITES THU NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...LESS AT DAN/LYH
WHILE ROA/BCB WILL SEE THE STRONGEST.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION... HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS BY
FRIDAY EVENING INTO SATURDAY BRINGING IMPROVING CONDITIONS THROUGH
SATURDAY....BEFORE ANOTHER SIMILAR SYSTEM MAY IMPACT THE REGION BY
LATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AND PERHAPS LASTING INTO EARLY
MONDAY....WITH WORSE CONDITIONS MOST LIKELY ON WESTERN SLOPES
AGAIN..BLF AND LWB. VERY STRONG NW WINDS BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AS
WELL INTO MONDAY NIGHT OR TUES. STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY
IN TERMS OF TIMING AND HOW MUCH PRECIP AND THUS IFR TYPE
CONDITIONS MAY SPREAD INTO PIEDMONT TAF SITES.
