AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
412 PM EDT SUN APR 19 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN KENTUCKY WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST
AND COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTHWARD FROM THE LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION ON
MONDAY...THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 333 PM EDT SUNDAY...

FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT INTO TONIGHT.

A WARM FRONT TO OUR SOUTH WILL LIFT NORTH THIS EVENING AND CROSS THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. DEEPER MOISTURE AND HIGHER PWATS WILL
INCREASE IN THE WARM ADVECTION WITH THE NORTHWARD ADVANCE OF THE
FRONT. THE REGIONAL RADAR IMAGE SHOWED WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION SOUTHWARD TO THE SOUTHEAST US. THERE ARE
SOME CONCERNS OF STRONG CONVECTION ACROSS GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON MAY
TAKE SOME OF THE MOISTURE AWAY FROM OUR AREA. OUR LOCAL RNK
WRFARW...HIRESW-ARW...NAM AND GFS WAIT UNTIL AFTER 00Z BEFORE
BRINGING IN HEAVIER CONVECTION THIS EVENING...WHILE HRRR AND ECMWF
ARE A LITTLE FASTER WITH TIMING. THE HRRR AND HIRESW-ARW LIFTS THE
PRECIPITATION NORTHEAST WITH MOST OF RAIN PULLING OUT BY 06-08Z.
USED A BLEND OF HRRR AND NAM FOR POPS...TAPERING POPS BACK AFTER 06Z
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.

NOT EXPECTING ANY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT
WITH CLOUD COVER HINDERING INSTABILITIES. HOWEVER...THE LOW LEVEL
JET INCREASING TO 50-60 KNOTS FROM THE SOUTHEAST WILL RESULT IN
STRONG UPSLOPE AND ISENTROPIC LIFT. THE STRONG WINDS THROUGH A
DEEP LAYER WILL PROVIDE LARGE HELICITY VALUES LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING. THE DAY ONE CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK (SWODY1) PLACED
A MARGINAL (5 PERCENT CHANCE OF WIND) ACROSS SOUTHWEST PORTION OF
CWA. PLAYED LOW TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO ADJMAV WITH READINGS FROM
THE UPPER 40S IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 60 DEGREES IN
THE PIEDMONT.

A WARM...MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS EXPECTED MONDAY. THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL DESTABILIZE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING MONDAY. INITIALLY CUT BACK POPS CLOSER
TO NAM FOR MONDAY MORNING...THEN INCREASED TO LIKELY BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON. SPC CONTINUES OUR SLIGHT RISK FOR MONDAY ACROSS MOST OF
OUR CWA. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT WITH HEALTHY
SHEAR AND DECENT CAPES AROUND 2K.  IT WILL ALSO BE QUITE BREEZY WITH
EFFICIENT DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSFER IN A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER.
THE FRONT SHOULD BE CLEARING MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY
WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER 80S IN THE
PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT SUNDAY...

TAIL END OF COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION WILL BE EXITING
THE AREA JUST AFT 00Z. HOWEVER...A BROAD UPPER TROUGH...ALMOST
WINTERLIKE PATTERN CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AND DEEPEN ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES WITH NUMEROUS SPOKES OF PVA/SHORT WAVES REMAINING
UPSTREAM. THIS LEAVES THE REGION...ESPECIALLY THE MOUNTAINS...WITH
A VERY UNSETTLED PATTERN. AT A MINIMUM...EXPECT VARIABLE
CLOUDINESS. TIMING OF EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES WILL BE THE KEY TO THE
TIMES FOR THE BETTER CHANCES OF SHOWERS. FOR SEVERAL DAYS...THE
GFS HAS INSISTED ON A SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE
REGION WED WITH WIDESPREAD -SHRA AS A RESULT. THE OTHER MODELS
REMAIN LACKLUSTER WITH THIS FEATURE...BUT DO SUGGEST AT LEAST SOME
SMALL CHANCE WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME. GIVEN THE UNSETTLED NATURE OF
THE PATTERN WITH UPSLOPE FLOW AND VERY DIFFICULT TO TIME UPPER
DISTURBANCES...CANNOT REALLY DROP POPS AT ANY TIME. BEST FOCUS
THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF WV/FAR SW VA. IN
ADDITION...ENOUGH INSTABILITY SUGGESTED WITH COLD AIR ALOFT...TO
INTRODUCE ISOLD TSRA WITH THE WED DISTURBANCE AS WELL.

850MB TEMPS DROP TO NEAR 0C ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
FORECAST AREA BY WED...BUT THE BETTER COLD ADVECTION COMES IN THE
EXTENDED PERIOD BEHIND THE WED DISTURBANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT SUNDAY...

BROAD UPPER TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE AND DOMINATES THE EXTENDED
FORECAST...GRADUALLY SHIFTING FURTHER ESE LATE IN THE PERIOD.
THIS KEEPS THE REGION IN AN UNSTABLE/UNSETTLED NORTHWEST FLOW WITH
NUMEROUS EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES. MODELS VARY CONSIDERABLY AS TO THE
TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THESE DISTURBANCES...BUT ENOUGH AGREEMENT
THAT POPS CANNOT BE DROPPED REALLY AT ANY TIME THE OVERALL TREND
IS TO PUSH THE BETTER MOISTURE FURTHER SOUTH OF THE REGION AS THE
WEEK PROGRESSES AND 850MB TEMPS DROP BELOW 0C IN THE NORTHERN
COUNTIES. THE ENTIRE PERIOD SHOULD FEATURE BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WITH LOW CHC POPS...HIGHEST ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND
TOWARD THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES...WITH THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT THE
DRIEST. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD...NO REAL CLEAR CONCERN AT THIS POINT FOR FROST/FREEZE
BECAUSE OF CYCLONIC FLOW AND CLOUDS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 142 PM EDT SUNDAY...

KFCX WSR-88D SHOWED RAIN SPREADING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH ACROSS THE
REGION. CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO MVFR AND IFR WITH RAIN.

A STRONG SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL JET WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WHICH WILL BRING WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 30
KTS. WITH A WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE ALONG AND EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE...AFTER SUNSET THESE STRONG WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
REACH THE SURFACE. SHORTEN THE TIME WINDOW AND KEPT LLWS IN THE
KLWB AND KBCB TAFS AFTER 00Z/8PM.

CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO IFR THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT AND WILL
REMAIN LOW OVERNIGHT. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATER MONDAY
WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE
FRONT...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THIS IS LIKELY TO KEEP
PERIODS OF MVFR AND BRIEF IFR IN STORMS UNTIL THE FRONT CLEARS THE
REGION MONDAY EVENING.

MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN CEILINGS...VISIBILITIES AND WINDS DURING THE
TAF PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION...

VFR RETURNS LATER MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND THE FRONT WITH A DRIER AIRMASS.

THEN THE NEXT CHANCE OF MVFR CONDITIONS AND PRECIPITATION WILL BE
IN THE MOUNTAINS ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 330 PM EDT SUNDAY...

HAVE EXPANDED THE FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS OF
VIRGINIA.

A DEEP LAYER FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH MID LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE OF SOUTHEAST WINDS...WILL BE INCREASING TO AROUND 50
KNOTS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
JUST ABOVE 1.5 INCHES WILL BE ADVECTED INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THE
STRONGEST LIFT AND HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE FROM 18Z/2PM
THROUGH 06Z/2AM SO HAVE ADDED HEAVY RAIN TO THE FORECAST ALONG THE
BLUE RIDGE FOR THIS TIME FRAME.

TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES THROUGH
12Z/8AM MONDAY. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES WERE ROUGHLY 1.5 TO
2.5 INCHES FOR 3 HOURS. SO THIS AMOUNT OF RAINFALL HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE FLOODING ON SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS.

PROBABILISTIC GUIDANCE FOR MAINSTEM RIVERS SUGGESTS A SMALL
POSSIBILITY FOR MINOR FLOODING ALONG THE DAN RIVER AND NEW RIVER.
HOWEVER...THE IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
