ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

CREEKS AND STREAMS...AS WELL AS FARM AND COUNTRY ROADS. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL ACROSS FLOODED ROADS. FIND ALTERNATE ROUTES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
152 AM EDT MON JUL 6 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LOW OVER SHIFTS FROM THE OHIO VALLEY NORTHEAST INTO THE
MID ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WHILE WEAKENING. A
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE OHIO VALLEY BY
WEDNESDAY...THEN STALL AND LIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE IN
THE WEEK...AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT BUILDS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
STATES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 135 AM EDT MONDAY...

MAINTAINING FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW...WITH NARROW AXIS OF
HEAVIER SHOWERS EXTENDING FROM NEAR ROANOKE NORTH INTO THE
GREENBRIER VALLEY. THE 04Z HRRR WAS FOLLOWED THOUGH ITS SLOWER
THAN RADAR ATTM...BUT AS WE HEAD THRU THE MORNING IN THE MTNS...IT
MAINTAINS THIS AXIS OF HEAVIER SHOWERS. THE LATEST RAP PLUS
MESOANALYSIS WAS ALSO INDICATING DEEP MOISTURE CONVERGENCE FROM
THE SE WV COUNTIES INTO THE NEW RIVER VALLEY. WILL MONITOR
TRENDS...BUT THINK THE WATCH ACROSS THE FAR SW VA AREA COULD BE
EXPIRED EARLY AS THE SHOWERS FURTHER SW ARE WEAKER.

GETTING REPORTS ACROSS THE MTNS OF DENSE FOG SO ADDED SOME FOG
INTO THE MORNING ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE. STILL NOT ENOUGH
COVERAGE FOR DENSE FOG ADVISORY.

PREVIOUS FORECAST DISCUSSION...

FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR FAR WEST THROUGH TONIGHT.
THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINS WITH CONVECTION  INTO
TONIGHT WITH PWATS AROUND 1.5 TO 2 INCHES...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW AND RELATIVELY LOW FFG IN THE WEST. RAINFALL RATES...MOVEMENT
AND TRAINING OF STORMS WILL BE KEY ITEMS TO MONITOR. TRAINING OF
ECHOES FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVER SATURATED GROUND WILL BE OF HIGH
CONCERN. A WEST TO EAST ORIENTATION NORTH OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY
COULD ALSO RESULT IN LOCAL WATER PROBLEMS DEPENDING ON LOCATION OF
THE HEAVY RAIN. THE DAY ONE CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK ALSO HIGHLIGHTS
THE POTENTIAL FOR MARGINAL SEVERE IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF CWA
WITH WIND AND HAIL THE PRIMARY THREATS.

UPPER LOW OVER WAS OVER THE WEST VIRGINIA/KENTUCKY BORDER AT
23Z/7PM AND WILL LIFT NORTHEAST TONIGHT AND REACH WESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA BY MONDAY EVENING. SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS
WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA AND WILL LIFT
NORTH AS WARM FRONT TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
POOLING IS OCCURRING ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTAIN HEAVY RAINS. LEANED POPS THIS AFTERNOON
INTO TONIGHT TOWARDS A BLEND OF HRRR...ARW AND CONTINUITY...THEN
TRIM BACK POPS FOR THE OVERNIGHT AS MID LEVEL DRY AIR WRAPS AROUND
FROM THE WEST. ADDED AREAS OF FOG OVERNIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS AND
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S IN
THE MOUNTAINS TO NEAR 70 DEGREES IN THE PIEDMONT.

CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE DRIFTING NORTH-NORTHEAST ON MONDAY.
START WITH THE HIGHEST POPS MONDAY MORNING WITH THE WARM ADVECTION
AND SHIFT POPS AXIS NORTHWARD DURING THE DAY. THE DAY TWO CONVECTIVE
OUTLOOK KEEPS OUR AREA IN GENERAL THUNDERSTORMS FOR MONDAY. ANY
ADDITIONAL FLOOD WATCHES FOR MONDAY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON SUNDAYS
CONVECTION AND LOCATION. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WILL VARY FROM
THE UPPER 60S IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 80S IN THE
PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 355 PM EDT SUNDAY...

FORCING FOR SHOWERS/STORMS WILL WANE MONDAY NIGHT AS UPPER SUPPORT
MOVES NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE REGION.

DON'T BLINK.  PROGRESSIVE FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CONUS
WILL INTRODUCE ANOTHER FRONT AND ASSOCIATED BAROCLINIC ZONE WHICH
WILL APPROACH THE REGION TUESDAY...THEN STALL EAST-WEST ALONG THE
MASON DIXON FOR MID WEEK.

MODELS BRING SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY FROM THE UPPER
MID-WEST ON TUESDAY. LINEAR ORIENTED...POTENTIALLY STRONG
CONVECTION...APPEARS LIKELY WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT ATTM IT APPEARS
THIS ACTIVITY WILL NOT REACH OUR FCST AREA UNTIL AFTER PEAK HEATING
TUESDAY OR SOMETIME TUESDAY NIGHT.  IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE THE CASE
THEN STRENGTH OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE LESS ROBUST WITH ONLY
MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TO CONTEND WITH TUESDAY NIGHT...AND
THEN MAINLY ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS...THE STORMS
FALLING APART AS THEY CROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

FOR WEDNESDAY...THE SURFACE FRONT STALLS JUST TO OUR NORTH AS THE
UPPER SUPPORT MOVES EAST IN TANDEM WITH A BUILDING SUBTROPICAL HIGH
OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES.  SUBTROPICAL RIDGING WILL BLOCK SOUTHERN
PROGRESSION OF FRONT...HOWEVER...CONVERGENCE OF AIRMASS OVER THE
AREA WILL ALLOW FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS...ESP
ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA CLOSER TO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

TEMPERATURES BY MID WEEK WILL TREND WARMER...WITH ABOVE NORMAL
READINGS ANTICIPATED PER INCREASING HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES AND A
WESTERLY WIND COMPONENT WHICH SHOULD AID IN ADIABATIC WARMING EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE.  WITH 85H TEMPS APPROACHING +20 DEG C...SURFACE
READING SHOULD EASILY CLIMB WELL INTO THE 80S AND POSSIBLY THE L-M
90S PENDING SUNSHINE.   MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO AVERAGE WELL
ABOVE NORMAL...THANKS TO CONTINUED HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT AND
DEWPOINTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 355 PM EDT SUNDAY...

TYPICAL SUMMERLIKE WEATHER ANTICIPATED FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND
INTO NEXT WEEKEND...WITH TENDENCY FAVORING THE WARM SIDE OF GUIDANCE
AS STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ALOFT ENVELOPS THE SOUTHEAST CONUS.
THERE WILL BE A DAILY THREAT FOR SHOWERS/STORMS...MAINLY SCATTERED
AND DIURNALLY DRIVEN. HOWEVER...WILL HAVE TO WATCH FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WHICH WILL BE STALLED ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE NORTHERN
MID ATLANTIC WHERE MORE ORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION WILL TAKE
PLACE...OUTFLOW FROM WHICH MAY DRIFT INTO OUR NORTHERN CWA.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 135 AM EDT MONDAY...

RADAR MAINTAIN AXIS OF HEAVIER SHOWERS ALONG A ROA-LWB LINE TIL
09Z...THEN SHIFTING IT SLOWLY NORTHEAST. NOT THINKING THUNDER AS
STABILITY INCREASES OVERNIGHT. HAVE ADDED TEMPO GROUPS AT BOTH
ROA/LWB TO ACCOUNT FOR HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. CASE WILL BE WHERE
HEAVIER RAIN WILL ALLOW CIGS TO INCREASE.

OVERALL THOUGH...THINK THE LOWER CIGS/VSBYS FORECAST FROM THE
PREVIOUS PACKAGE ARE GOOD...THANKS TO HIGH MOISTURE IN THE LOW
LVLS AND WINDS STAYING LIGHT. LOW CIGS MAY BE MORE OF AN ISSUE
THAN FOG WITH CLOUD COVER IN PLACE.

UPPER LOW SHIFTS FROM WV TO PA TODAY AND WEAKENS. MODELS SHOW
SHOWERS AND STORMS POPPING UP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY FROM
LWB-ROA-DAN NORTHEAST. ATTM WILL LEAVE VCSH IN...AND THINK AFTER
MORNING LOW CLOUDS/FOG...VFR CIGS TO TAKE US FROM MID-LATE MORNING
THROUGH THE REST OF THE TAF PERIOD...THOUGH SOME FOG MAY FORM
AGAIN MONDAY EVENING FROM LWB TO LYH.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE OH VALLEY BY TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY. BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEM WILL BE A LONGER PERIOD OF
VFR WX ON TUESDAY.

ONCE THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS OR JUST NORTH OF THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY...PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
WITH SUB-VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

EXPECT WIDESPREAD LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING LOW CLOUDS/FOG WITH
IFR-LIFR CIGS/VSBYS. OVERALL...CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR-
VFR OUTSIDE SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY DURING THE AFTERNOONS.
