AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
428 PM EDT THU APR 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BANKED AGAINST THE EASTERN FACE OF THE APPALACHIANS
WILL SHIFT EAST...AND A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT THROUGH OUR REGION
OVERNIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE APPALACHIAN
REGION ON FRIDAY. DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

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

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT HIGH PRESSURE HUGGING THE EASTERN
FACE OF THE APPALACHIANS IS RETREATING THIS AFTERNOON...BUT STILL
MAINTAINING ITS INFLUENCE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. EASTERLY WINDFLOW HAS
KEPT LOW CLOUDS BANKED AGAINST THE BLUE RIDGE...ALTHOUGH STRONG
HEATING ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA OUTSIDE THE INFLUENCE OF THE HIGH IS
CAUSING THESE LOW CLOUDS TO ERODE FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. AS
SUCH...PORTIONS OF THE PIEDMONT IN NORTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHSIDE
VIRGINIA MAY SEE A 6 TO 8 DEGREE SPIKE IN TEMPERATURES DURING LATE
AFTERNOON IF CLOUD COVER EXITS THE AREA. STRONGER HEATING HAS
OCCURRED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...ALSO OUTSIDE THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH
PRESSURE...WHERE RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES A FEW SHOWERS ARE BEGINNING
TO FIRE.

THROUGH THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...RAPID UPDATE MODELS HAVE BEEN
CONSISTENT THROUGH THE DAY THAT THE SHOWERS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
NORTH CAROLINA HIGHLANDS WILL SHIFT EAST AS AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE PASSES ACROSS THE REGION. BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL
BE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING EARLY EVENING WHERE GREATER
INSTABILITY WILL BE LOCATED. AS THE ACTIVITY SHIFTS EAST HOWEVER...
IT WILL RUN INTO THE MORE STABLE ATMOSPHERE ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE AREA...AND WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN. THE THREAT FOR
ANY SEVERE STORMS THIS EVENING REMAINS REMOTE...HOWEVER WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A STRONG THUNDERSTORM OR TWO DURING EARLY EVENING
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH DURING THE EARLY
HOURS OF FRIDAY...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT STRAY SHOWERS THROUGH THE
NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA...AND HAVE
KEPT LOW CHANCE WORDING IN THE FORECAST. MUGGY CONDITIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH LOWS HOLDING IN THE MID 50S TO LOW
60S.

FOR FRIDAY...RAIN CHANCES WILL RAMP UP ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING
LATE MORNING AS A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. WITH
ABUNDANT ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE IN PLACE...FELT CONFIDENT IN
INTRODUCING HIGH RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST. WITH ABUNDANT CLOUD
COVER TO START THE DAY AND RAIN ENTERING EARLY HOWEVER...BELIEVE
THAT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE ON THE SCATTERED SIDE ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS. BETTER INSTABILITY WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT...ESPECIALLY EAST OF A DANVILLE TO LYNCHBURG LINE...AND
WITH GREATER HEATING TAKING PLACE IN THE EAST...BELIEVE THAT ANY
CHANCES FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE
SOUTHSIDE. AT ANY RATE...THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS EAST DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND IS EXPECTED TO PASS OUTSIDE OF OUR AREA DURING EARLY
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BRING A DRY
NORTHWESTERLY WIND SHIFT...WITH RAPIDLY CLEARING CONDITIONS HEADING
INTO THE EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM EDT THURSDAY...

COLD FRONT SHOULD BE PUNCHING EAST THROUGH THE PIEDMONT FRIDAY
EVENING BRINGING ANY LINGERING BACK EDGE SHOWERS AND STORMS TO AN
END WELL BEFORE MIDNIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOW ADVECTION
OF VERY DRY AIR ESPCLY ALOFT IN BEHIND THE BOUNDARY WITH ABRUPT
CLEARING OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LIKELY DURING THE EVENING. THUS
LEFT IN SOME CHANCE POPS MAINLY ALONG/EAST OF HIGHWAY 29 DURING
THE EARLY EVENING BEFORE CLEARING THINGS OUT WITH ONLY SOME
LEFTOVER HIGH CLOUDS AROUND.

LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST
SATURDAY BEFORE MOVING OVERHEAD SUNDAY MORNING...AND THEN OFFSHORE LATE
IN THE DAY. THIS SHOULD BRING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND A CLEAR OVERNIGHT
FOR THE WEEKEND UNDER MUCH LESS HUMIDITY. HOWEVER IT WILL BE BLUSTERY
BETWEEN THE BUILDING HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE NE SATURDAY BEFORE
WINDS GO CALM SATURDAY NIGHT MAKING FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS INTO DAWN SUNDAY MORNING.

EXPECTING HIGHS TO BARELY TOP 60 IN THE MOUNTAINS SATURDAY UNDER A
GUSTY NW WIND WITH READINGS CLIMBING TO AROUND 70 PIEDMONT GIVEN SOME
AID VIA DOWNSLOPE FLOW. LOWS LIKELY DROPPING INTO THE 30S WEST AND 40-
45 EAST BY SUNDAY MORNING BUT THINKING MOST TO STAY ABOVE FREEZING
GIVEN LACK OF VERY DRY AIR. HIGHS TO REBOUND A BIT SUNDAY UNDER WEAK
WARM ADVECTION ALOFT BUT STILL MOSTLY 60S WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE SLOW
TO MOVE EAST UNTIL LATE KEEPING MIXING RATHER LIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM EDT THURSDAY...

OVERALL PATTERN WILL AGAIN BE CHARACTERIZED BY MEAN 5H TROFFINESS
ACROSS THE EASTERN ROCKIES AS THE UPPER LOW ACROSS THE SW OPENS UP AND
RATHER FLAT FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE EAST BENEATH PASSING WAVES WELL TO
THE NORTH. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A VERY MOIST OVERRUNNING TYPE SW FLOW BY
MIDWEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE AND A STRONGER COLD FRONT
EMERGES INTO THE PLAINS BY DAY7. APPEARS DRIEST PERIODS WILL BE SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT THAT WILL DIPPING
INTO THE REGION BY MONDAY NIGHT AND TO THE SOUTH BY WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER
WEAK IMPULSES EJECTING SE ALONG THE BOUNDARY LIKELY TO PRODUCE SOME
SHOWER COVERAGE AS EARLY AS MONDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT BEFORE THE LARGER
SWATH OF DEEPER MOISTURE STARTS TO RETURN NE LATER TUESDAY WHEN WILL
HAVE HIGHER CHANCE POPS. WEAK WEDGE LOOKS TO DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AND THEN
ERODE DURING THURSDAY AS THE RESIDUAL BACKDOOR FRONT STARTS TO LIFT
BACK NE AS WARM FRONT AHEAD OF THE STRONGER COLD FRONT TO THE WEST.
THIS LIKELY THE PERIOD OF BETTER RAIN CHANCES ESPCLY BY THURSDAY WITH
DEEPER PWATS ARRIVING...AND PERHAPS MORE INSTABILITY WITH THE WARM
FRONT AROUND SO MAINLY HIGH CHANCE POPS WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

AFTER A COOL START WITH LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 40S EARLY MONDAY...EXPECT
MAINLY UNIFORM TEMPS WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S FOR MUCH OF
THE WEEK PENDING DEGREE OF INSOLATION EACH DAY AND LOWS IN THE 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM EDT THURSDAY...

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS WEDGED
AGAINST THE EASTERN FACE OF THE APPALACHIANS THIS AFTERNOON...
WITH IFR STRATUS IN PLACE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WITHIN THE
EASTERLY FLOW. WEDGE LOSES INFLUENCE OVER THE MOUNTAINS...WHERE
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDFLOW IS IN PLACE...AND SCATTERED CU IS BEING
OBSERVED WITH VFR BASES.

WHILE HEATING ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE STRATUS FIELD IS CAUSING
THE STRATUS TO SLOWLY ERODE FROM WEST TO EAST...EXPECT KROA/KDAN/
KLYH TO REMAIN SOCKED IN IFR THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE MORE
UNSTABLE AIR IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...AND PUSH NORTHEAST INTO
THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE EVENING. LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY
OF SPOTTY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY OF KBLF/KLWB/KBCB THIS
EVENING WHERE STRONGER AFTERNOON HEATING HAS TAKEN PLACE...
HOWEVER ACTIVITY SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT PASSES FURTHER EAST WHERE THE
WEDGE IS STRONGER.

A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT...RESULTING IN A
GRADUAL SOUTHWESTERLY WIND SHIFT ACROSS THE PIEDMONT BY DAWN. AS
SUCH...EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS TO REMAIN IN PLACE FOR KROA/KDAN/KLYH
THROUGH SUNRISE...WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AND DAYTIME HEATING
HELPING TO LIFT THE LOW CLOUDS AFTER SUNRISE. RAIN CHANCES WILL
INCREASE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING LATE MORNING AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. EXPECT A SOLID LINE OF SHOWERS...
WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS...TO PASS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON. GREATEST INSTABILITY/BETTER CHANCES FOR STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE PIEDMONT...GENERALLY ALONG
AND EAST OF A KDAN TO KLYH LINE. WITH SOLID RAINFALL WILL COME
IFR/LOW MVFR CONDITIONS. COLD FRONT WILL EXIT THE AREA TO THE EAST
DURING LATE EARLY EVENING...WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS AS WINDS
SHIFT NORTHWESTERLY WITH THE ARRIVAL OF HIGH PRESSURE.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

PROLONGED PERIOD OF WIDESPREAD VFR THEN RETURNS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY UNDER HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT. SOME RETURN MOISTURE
AND SHOWERS WITH ASSOCIATED MVFR COULD RETURN BY MONDAY BUT BETTER
CHANCES BY TUESDAY WITH WARM FRONT APPROACHING.
