AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
503 PM EDT WED SEP 30 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WEDGING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL COMBINE WITH DEEPENING
TROPICAL MOISTURE IN A DEVELOPING COASTAL TROF TO BRING INCREASING CHANCES
FOR SIGNIFICANT HEAVY RAINFALL INTO THE WEEKEND. OUR FORECAST WILL ALSO
BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK HURRICANE JOAQUIN TAKES OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

GOES RAPID SCAN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS
ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND THE RADAR IS GENERALLY QUIET
WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ENTERING THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE REGION. UPPER
LEVEL SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL COMBINE WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT AND A
DEVELOPING WEAK WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD TO
BRING INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. MESO MODELS
ARE MIXED IN THEIR HANDLING OF THE PRECIPITATION BUT BELIEVE THERE WILL
BE ENOUGH ACTIVITY TONIGHT TO WARRANT HIGH CHANCE POPS NORTH AND WEST
WITH LIKELY POPS ELSEWHERE. DO NOT EXPECT ENOUGH WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TO
RENEW FLOODING PROBLEMS SO NO FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE NEAR
TERM PERIOD. AS THE COASTAL TROF BEGINS TO ORGANIZE INTO A PRE EVENT
/PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT/ LATER ON THURSDAY WE WILL START TO SEE THE
CHANCE OF RAIN INCREASING FROM THE EAST AS IT PUSHES TOWARD THE REGION
BUT ANY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS FROM PRECIPITATION WILL NOT BE FELT UNTIL
AFTER THE NEAR TERM PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES WILL START COOLING TONIGHT AND WILL NOT RECOVER MUCH AT
ALL FOR TOMORROW AS THE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW STARTS TO INCREASE.
GENERALLY EXPECT LOWS TONIGHT TO REACH THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S WITH
HIGHS ON THURSDAY IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. THE COMBINATION OF COOL AND
MOIST CONDITIONS WITH INCREASING NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL PUT A DAMP
CHILL IN THE AIR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE IN THE LOW LEVELS OF
THE ATMOSPHERE WILL MAINTAIN A COOL NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE WIND
ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC. AT THE SAME TIME...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRIFT SOUTHWARD FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO
STALL NEAR THE GULF COAST. WINDFLOW AROUND THIS LOW WILL DRAW DEEP
MOISTURE NORTHWARD ALONG THE APPALACHIAN CHAIN...WHERE IT WILL FLOW
OVER THE NORTHEASTERLY WINDFLOW NEAR THE SURFACE. MINOR DISTURBANCES
RIDING UP THE APPALACHIAN CHAIN WILL TRIGGER SPOTTY AREAS OF LIGHT
TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

ALL WEATHER MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT...AND CONFIDENCE HAS
BECOME HIGH...THAT HEAVY RAIN WILL RETURN TO OUR AREA FRIDAY EVENING
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER LOW BECOMES NEGATIVELY
TILTED...ALLOWING A BOUNDARY OF STRONG CONVERGENCE TO DRIFT INLAND
FROM THE COAST ACROSS OUR AREA. WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE WILL
BEGIN TO RAMP UP TO 45 TO 50 MPH FROM THE COAST...WHICH WILL DRAW
DEEP MOISTURE RAPIDLY INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THIS WEATHER PATTERN
IS SETTING OUR AREA UP FOR A PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT...WHICH IS A
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF DROPPING 3 TO
LOCALLY 5 INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS THE PIEDMONT...WITH LOCALIZED
AMOUNTS OF UP TO 6 INCHES ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...AND 2 TO LOCALLY 4
INCHES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. TRAINING OF HEAVY RAIN CELLS IS
LIKELY...MEANING THAT SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN MAY ACCUMULATE OVER AN
AREA OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. FACTOR IN THAT THE GROUND OVER
MUCH OF OUR AREA IS ALREADY SATURATED FROM RECENT HEAVY RAINS...IT
IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE NEW RAINFALL WILL TRANSLATE TO RUNOFF VERY
QUICKLY...LEADING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING. WE STILL
HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT ANOTHER ROUND OF WEATHER MODELS TO SEE HOW THIS
WEATHER SYSTEM EVOLVES...BUT FULLY EXPECT THAT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
WILL BE ISSUED FOR OUR AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. HEAVY RAIN
WILL ALSO BRING WITH IT A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE POSSIBILITY OF
ROCKSLIDES/LANDSLIDES.

OUTSIDE OF ANY FLASH FLOODING THAT OCCURS...MUCH OF THIS WATER WILL
COLLECT IN RIVERS AND STREAMS THAT ARE ALREADY SWOLLEN FROM RECENT
RAINFALL. AS SUCH...RENEWED RIVER FLOODING IS LIKELY ON SATURDAY...
ALTHOUGH THE SEVERITY OF WHICH IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE UNTIL
IT BECOMES KNOWN WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL SET UP.
REGARDLESS...RIVER FLOODING WILL REMAIN A MAJOR CONCERN INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

FOR SATURDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY...GREAT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AS TO
THE TRACK HURRICANE JOAQUIN WILL FOLLOW. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST FROM
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER INDICATES THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT
JOAQUIN WILL MOVE ONSHORE INTO NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA...
POTENTIALLY KEEPING HEAVY RAINFALL PROLONGED ACROSS OUR AREA.

HOW JOAQUIN INTERACTS WITH THE UPPER LOW NEAR THE GULF COAST REMAINS
UNCERTAIN...WITH SOME WEATHER MODELS BRINGING THE STORM OVER NORTH
CAROLINA...WHILE OTHERS KEEP THE STORM OVER OPEN OCEAN. THIS
SITUATION REMAIN EXTREMELY FLUID...MEANING THAT FUTURE FORECASTS FOR
THE TRACK OF HURRICANE JOAQUIN WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED TO
DETERMINE EXACTLY HOW THE STORM WILL AFFECT OUR AREA. NEEDLESS TO
SAY HOWEVER...IF JOAQUIN DOES MAKE LANDFALL IN NORTH CAROLINA...
FORECAST RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR OUR AREA WILL NEED TO BE INCREASED BY
SEVERAL INCHES. IN ADDITION...JOAQUIN WILL BRING STRONG WIND
GUSTS...WHICH MAKES THE PROBABILITY OF WIND DAMAGE...SUCH AS DOWNED
TREES AND POWER OUTAGES...FAR MORE SIGNIFICANT.

&&

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

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...WEATHER FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT
WEEK DEPENDS GREATLY ON WHERE THE REMNANTS OF JOAQUIN WILL BE
LOCATED. SOME MODELS HAVE THE REMNANTS OF JOAQUIN TO MOVING ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC STATES...SUPPORTING BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY
WINDS...WHILE OTHERS HAVE NO SUCH IMPACTS AS THE STORM REMAINS
OFFSHORE.

BY TUESDAY...DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY BE RETURNING TO THE AREA AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. MAY SEE A FEW UPSLOPE RAIN SHOWERS
LINGER ALONG THE WESTERN RIDGES HOWEVER.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS TO START THE TAF PERIOD AT MOST SITES BUT MVFR IS
HOLDING TIGHT AT KBLF. HOWEVER...FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL BE
DETERIORATING THIS EVENING AND EXPECT MVFR/IFR TO SET IN AT ALL
TAF SITES AFTER MIDNIGHT. EXPECT SOME SHOWERS TO BE IN THE
VICINITY OF TAF SITES AS WELL WITH UPPER SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVING
UP FROM THE SOUTH AS A BIT OF A HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE PUSHES IN FROM
THE NORTHEAST WITH STRENGTHENING NELY FLOW. IFR CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST PAST DAYBREAK WITH SOME SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT POSSIBLE LATE
IN THE PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

MODELS SUGGEST POOR FLYING CONDITIONS MAY LINGER ACROSS A LARGE
GEOGRAPHIC AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK AND POTENTIALLY
INTO THE WEEKEND. WIDESPREAD SUB VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY
THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 450 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

THE DAN RIVER FROM DANVILLE THROUGH SOUTH BOSTON WILL REMAIN IN
FLOOD FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ALSO MINOR FLOODING WILL OCCUR ALONG
THE LOWER ROANOKE RIVER AT RANDOLPH INTO THURSDAY.

FOR SPECIFIC RIVER
INFORMATION...VISIT OUR HYDROLOGIC SERVICE PAGE AT
HTTP:/WATER.WEATHER.GOV/AHPS2/INDEX.PHP?WFO=RNK

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRIFT FROM THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES DURING THE END OF THE
WEEK...BRINGING ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN.
RENEWED OR ADDITIONAL FLOODING WOULD RESULT FROM THIS RAINFALL. IN
ADDITION THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR DEEPER TROPICAL MOISTURE TO GET
ENTRAINED ACROSS THE REGION BY THE WEEKEND PERHAPS ADDING TO THE
THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING. GIVEN CURRENT SATURATED
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION AND VERY LOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE THE
POSSIBILITY OF WIDESPREAD RIVER FLOODING COULD OCCUR IF FORECAST
RAINFALL MATERIALIZES AS WELL.
