AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
731 PM EDT SUN JUL 12 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK WARM FRONT WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHEAST TOWARD THE REGION
TONIGHT BEFORE PASSING TO THE NORTH LATER MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL ALLOW UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES TO SPILL
SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA ALONG THE BOUNDARY THROUGH TUESDAY
RESULTING IN PERIODIC ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A WEAK
COOL FRONT SHOULD DROP THROUGH THE REGION FROM THE NORTH BY MID
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM EDT SUNDAY...

STILL NO CLEAR MODEL CONSENSUS ON TIMING OR INTENSITY OF
PRECIPITATION...BUT SO FAR TODAY...ONLY RAIN SHOWERS HAVE IMPACTED
THE CWA. A CELL WEST OF TAZEWELL ONGOING CURRENTLY...IS THE FIRST
CELL I HAVE SEEN EVEN NEAR OUR CWA YET TO EXHIBIT ANY LIGHTNING.
MESO-SCALE MODELS HAVE VARYING DEGREES OF CONVECTION IMPACTING THE
AREA OVERNIGHT. THE HRRR BRINGS THE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY IN KENTUCKY
INTO OUR REGION IN A DIMINISHED STATE TOWARD MIDNIGHT. THE LOCAL
WRF KEEPS ALL SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY WEST OF I-77...DROPPING THE
MOST INTENSE CONVECTION SOUTHWARD THROUGH EASTERN KY/EASTERN TN.
NCEP WRF MODELS IN BETWEEN...BUT AGAIN SHOW NOTHING SIGNIFICANT IN
OUR CWA TODAY OR TOMORROW. HAVE ADJUSTED POPS SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT
INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR BETTER THREAT FOR
CONVECTION WEST OF I-77...LESS LEAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. ONLY MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO T/TD NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

AS OF 355 PM EDT SUNDAY...

MODELS OFFERING SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FOR TONIGHT AND
MONDAY...ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT WINDS...LOCATION OF PRECIPITATION
AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY.

SATELLITE TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER PRODUCT AND VERTICAL PROFILERS
INDICATED PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES HAVE RISEN TO AROUND 1.5
INCHES. WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF A OLD MESOSCALE COMPLEX. SOME
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL EXTEND WELL
INTO THE EASTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA TONIGHT.

ANOTHER CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP UPSTREAM
TONIGHT WITH MORE PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY
AFTERNOON. BUT OVERALL INSTABILITY AND SHEAR IS MARGINAL. BELIEVE
BEST PROBABILITY FOR PRECIPITATION AND HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS
WILL BE ALONG AND WEST OF I-77 THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.

WITH HIGHER SURFACE DEW POINTS BACK IN THE AREA...MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
WILL BE MILDER TONIGHT THAN ON SUNDAY MORNING. THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD
COVER IN THE MORNING AND PRECIPITATION IN THE AFTERNOON WILL
IMPACT THE TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY. STAYED CLOSER TO BIAS CORRECTED
MAV GUIDANCE FOR TONIGHT AND ON MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM EDT SUNDAY...

WEATHER SCENARIO REMAINS QUITE COMPLICATED WITH TIMING OF FEATURES
ACROSS THE AREA WITHIN A VERY MOIST/UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WHILE LIMITED
VIA WESTERLY WINDS ALOFT AND ONLY WEAK SURFACE FEATURES UNTIL LATE
TUESDAY. LATEST SUITE OF SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THAT MAY INIT BETWEEN UPPER
WAVES MONDAY EVENING AS A LEAD SHORTWAVE EXITS THE PIEDMONT AHEAD OF
PERHAPS ANOTHER UPSTREAM VORT/MCS THAT LOOKS TO DIVE SE TOWARD THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS BY EARLY TUESDAY. APPEARS THIS IMPULSE MAY ACT TO
ENHANCE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES MONDAY EVENING WITH SOME
OF THIS POSSIBLY JETTING ACROSS THE SW OVERNIGHT ALONG THE RETREATING
WARM FRONT. THIS COULD PROVIDE A TIGHT GRADIENT TO POPS WITH LITTLE OUT
EAST AFTER ANY EVENING COVERAGE FADES WITH A COUPLE ROUNDS POSSIBLE OUT
WEST WHERE FOR NOW WILL KEEP OVERALL LIKELY POPS IN PLACE.

STRONG UPPER TROUGH FOR JULY WILL DIG SE OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES TUESDAY
BEFORE SLIDING TO NEAR THE DELMARVA ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL PUSH THE
TRAILING SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS SE TOWARD THE REGION LATE IN THE DAY
TUESDAY...AIDED BY INCREASING WINDS ALOFT AND HIGH INSTABILITY...
PROVIDED CAN GET ENOUGH HEATING THROUGH RESIDUAL DEBRIS CLOUDS...AND
ISOLATED SHOWERS ESPCLY WEST. HOWEVER GUIDANCE SHOWS A VERY PRONOUNCED
WEST/NW TRAJECTORY JUST ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WHICH WOULD TEND TO
FOCUS MOST BANDED CONVECTION OVER THE WEST AS THE NW FLOW CONVEYOR BELT
SHOULD BE ABOUT OVERHEAD BY THEN. LEE TROUGH ALSO QUITE STRONG BY LATER
TUESDAY WHICH IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SURFACE LOW FORMING IN RESPONSE TO
THE 5H SYSTEM MAY CAUSE A QUICK JUMP TO THE EAST OF THE AREA LATE IN
THE DAY. SINCE THIS LOOKS QUITE REALISTIC PENDING TIMING...WILL ADJUST
POPS TO HIGHER LIKELYS FAR WEST TUESDAY PER HIGH FORECAST THETA-
E/DIVERGENCE ALOFT...AND GO HIGHER CHANCE EAST WITH LEAST COVERAGE BLUE
RIDGE GIVEN DOWNSLOPE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE PERIOD
FOR MORE WIDESPREAD SEVERE SO KEEPING IN THE HWO PER GOING SPC
OUTLOOKS.

AREA WILL SPILL UNDER THE COLD POOL ALOFT WITH THE 5H LOW TO THE NE ON
WEDNESDAY WITH QUITE A BIT OF SUPPORT ROTATING AROUND THIS FEATURE TO
KEEP DECENT LIFT GOING THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY. THINK MORE OF A
NORTHERLY TRAJECTORY SHOULD TEND TO LIMIT SHRA ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH BUT
APPEARS COULD SEE MORE WIDESPREAD WEAKER SHRA/ISOLATED TSRA WEDNESDAY
BEFORE DRIER AIR ALOFT ADVECTS IN AND ENDS THE SHOWER THREAT DURING THE
EVENING. OVERALL PLAN TO KEEP POPS ON THE CHANCE SIDE PENDING LATER
RUNS SINCE THE DEGREE OF RESIDUAL MOISTURE RATHER UNCERTAIN FOR NOW.

KEPT TEMPS ON THE WARM SIDE OF MOS INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH LOW AND EVEN
MID 90S POSSIBLE EAST TUESDAY IF CLOUDS/SHRA ARE LESS. SHOULD BE A BIT
COOLER UNDER MORE CLOUDS...SHOWERS AND NORTHERLY FLOW WEDNESDAY WITH
MOSTLY 80S EXCEPT PERHAPS ONLY SOME 70S FOR HIGHS WEST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM EDT SUNDAY...

5H HEIGHTS WILL BUILD EAST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD
AS THE LARGE UPPER HIGH OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS NUDGES EASTWARD INTO
NEXT WEEKEND. THIS SHOULD MEAN A MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN LESS ORGANIZED
PATTERN TO CONVECTION AS FOCUS SHIFTS TO MORE OUTFLOW DRIVEN SHRA/TSRA
PERHAPS AIDED BY FAINT SHORTWAVE ENERGY PASSING AROUND THE RIDGE IN THE
WEST/NW FLOW ALOFT. INITIALLY SHOULD BE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT TO THE
SOUTH AND THE UPPER SYSTEM TO THE EAST THURSDAY...WITH WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE NORTH BRINGING A PERIOD OF WEAK SUBSIDENCE THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT INCLUDING ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION AT BEST.
MOISTURE SHOULD START TO MAKE A SLOW RETURN FRIDAY AND ESPCLY SATURDAY
AS THE WEAK FRONT SHIFTS BACK NORTH AND WEAK RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS. THIS
LOOKS TO BRING SCATTERED NATURE POPS BACK BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH
HIGHER CHANCES SATURDAY UNDER BETTER PWATS. NEXT WEAK UPPER TROUGH AND
ITS ASSOCIATED COOL FRONT APPROACHES ON SUNDAY WHILE PRECEDED BY MORE
WESTERLY FLOW. THIS SUGGESTS BEST CHANCE POPS WEST/NORTH AND LESS OUT
EAST DESPITE DEEP MOISTURE AND GOOD HEATING.

A SLIGHTLY COOLER/DRIER PERIOD THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO REBOUND
BACK TO HIGHS OF 85-90 WEST AND LOW/MID 90S EAST BY NEXT WEEKEND UNDER
WESTERLY FLOW AND PROGGED 85H TEMPS OF +22-23C.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 720 PM EDT SATURDAY...

A PIPE LINE OF SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK OVER THE AREA INTO
EARLY MORNING MONDAY. THESE LINES OF SHOWERS ARE ORIENTED FROM
NORTHWEST TO THE SOUTHEAST AND ARE NARROW. ONE OF THE MOST SOLID
LINES IS FIXED OVER KBKW-KBCB-KMTV. LIGHT SHOWERS WILL REMAIN OVER
THIS AREA THIS EVENING. THIS LINE MAY DRIFT NORTH OVERNIGHT...SITTING
OVER KLWB-KROA BY MORNING...BUT A TOUGH CALL FOR NOW AS THIS LINE
APPEARS STATIONARY. FOR THE MOST PART...WILL CALL FOR LIGHT SHOWERS
WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND VICINITY SHOWERS EAST. CEILINGS MAY
ALSO LOWER THROUGH THE NIGHT TO MVFR...ESPECIALLY AT KBLF. THIS
LOW CONFIDENCE ENVIRONMENT WILL BEST BE HANDLED WITH AMENDMENTS
RATHER THAN A VERY DETAILED HOUR BY HOUR SET OF TAFS.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

MONDAY AND TUESDAY APPEAR TO OFFER THE BEST CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD
DEEP CONVECTION...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE...WITH
AN ACTIVE NORTHWEST/BAROCLINIC FLOW IN PLACE ALONG THE NORTHEAST
SIDE OF A STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED IN THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. ONE OR MORE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES APPEAR LIKELY WITHIN THIS
TIME FRAME...BUT EXACT PLACEMENT AND TIMING IS NOT POSSIBLE THIS
FAR OUT.

MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE LATER
HALF OF THE WEEK WITH EARLY MORNING FOG/LOW CLOUDS IN THE USUAL
SPOTS...KLWB/KBCB/KLYH...AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. OVERALL...CIGS AND VSBYS SHOULD BE VFR
MUCH OF THE TIME PERIOD.
