AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
243 PM EDT THU JUN 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK. A WEAK FRONT NORTH OF THE
AREA WILL OSCILLATE ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND AND BE THE
MAIN FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL
LIKELY INTERACT WITH MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL
DEPRESSION BILL TO BRING MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS
SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM EDT THURSDAY...

CONVECTION FIRING THIS AFTERNOON IN BANDS/CLUSTERS ASSOCIATED WITH
UNIDIRECTIONAL WESTERLY FLOW CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE WEST IN ADVANCE OF
WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY HEADING TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS BASICALLY
AROUND A REGION OF LITTLE COVERAGE BASICALLY INCLUDING THE NEW/ROANOKE
VALLEYS AND POINTS EAST WHERE WESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO PUT A LID ON
DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER INSTABILITY REMAINS VERY HIGH EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE SUPPORTED BY STRONG LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGING AND HIGH DCAPES.
APPEARS AS THE WESTERLY FLOW WEAKENS WITH TIME INTO LATE AFTERNOON WILL
SEE STORMS MIGRATE EAST WHERE THE BETTER SEVERE PULSE THREAT LOOKS TO
EXIST. POPS THOUGH STILL TRICKY GIVEN LACK OF FORCING ALOFT AS
MAINTAINING COVERAGE INTO THE EVENING A BIT MORE IFFY WITH MORE OF AN
OUTFLOW DRIVEN SCENARIO LIKELY. THUS WILL MAINTAIN OVERALL CHANCE
COVERAGE AND ATTEMPT TO INCLUDE SOME LIKELYS IN SPOTS PER TRENDS AT
RELEASE.

A BIT STRONGER SHORTWAVE ARRIVES ACROSS THE NW LATE TONIGHT
WHICH COULD SUPPORT ANOTHER COMPLEX OF STORMS REACHING PARTS OF SE WEST
VA AND THE HIGHLANDS WHERE WILL BOOST POPS TO HIGH CHANCE/LOW LIKELYS
LATE. OTRW WILL MAINTAIN THE SEVERE MENTION INTO THIS EVENING FOR ALL
SITES IN THE HWO WHILE TRENDING MORE PC/MUGGY WITH SOME PATCHY FOG
AGAIN OVERNIGHT AND ONLY ISOLATED COVERAGE AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOWS AGAIN
BASICALLY 65-72 WITH COOLER VALUES WHERE HEAVY RAINFALL DOES DEVELOP.

WAVE PASSES TO THE NE EARLY FRIDAY ALLOWING THE FRONT TO THE NORTH TO
SAG BACK SOUTH TOWARD THE REGION LATE IN THE DAY. A BIT MORE CLOUDS TO
INIT ALONG WITH POSSIBLE EARLIER SHRA...AND LOWER 85H TEMPS SUPPORTS A
BIT COOLER HIGHS WITH 80S MOST SECTIONS AND ONLY LOWER 90S SOUTH/SE.
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE REMAINS A BIT MORE PROBLEMATIC GIVEN WEAK SUPPORT
ALOFT...WESTERLY FLOW AND LESS INSTABILITY. APPEARS BEST CHANCES PER
LATEST ENSEMBLE WOULD BE OVER THE FAR WEST AND PERHAPS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER WHERE BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE MAY DEVELOP WELL AHEAD
OF THE SURFACE FRONT. SINCE HARD TO PINPOINT A MORE WIDESPREAD LOCATION
FOR STORMS WILL BUMP POPS TO HIGHER CHANCE IN THOSE AREAS AND TRIM BACK
TO LOWER POPS NORTH/NE CLOSER TO THE FRONT.
&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT THURSDAY...

A COLD FRONT WILL ENTER THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE REGION FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY BEFORE STALLING. THIS FEATURE WILL PROVIDE AN
AREA OF FOCUS FOR A GREATER CONCENTRATION OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO
DEVELOP...IN ADDITION TO THE DIURNALLY BASED ACTIVITY THAT IS STILL
EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE REGION. SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH/LOW WILL MOVE ALONG THE STALLED FRONT. THIS
FEATURE WILL BE THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL. ASSOCIATED
WITH THE REMNANTS WILL BE A GENEROUS REGION OF TROPICAL
MOISTURE...AND PROGGED WIND FIELDS AROUND IT AROUND 45 KTS AT 850 MB
OVER THE REGION. THIS SCENARIO COULD SET THE STAGE FOR THE POTENTIAL
FOR FLOODING RAINS...AND STRONG WINDS THAT COULD BRING DOWN TREES
GIVEN HOW MOIST THE SURFACE MOISTURE WILL BECOME AROUND THE ROOT
SYSTEMS WITH THE HEAVY PRECIPITATION. ALSO...STRONG SHEAR WILL BE
LIKELY WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM...INCREASING THE CHANCE FOR
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WITH ISOLATED SPIN UPS. BY
SUNDAY NIGHT...THE AXIS OF THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE OVER OR JUST
EAST OF THE AREA. WESTERN AREAS MAY SEE A WINTER-LIKE PATTERN IN
TERMS OF LOW CLOUDS AND UPSLOPE RAIN SHOWERS AND STORMS THANKS TO A
CONTINUATION OF STRONG 850 MB WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER
LOW...AND RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.

TEMPERATURES WILL TREND MILDER DURING THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST...WITH READINGS ABOVE NORMAL. BY SUNDAY...HIGHS WILL
AVERAGE 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN THE LOW TO MID 80S ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS AND LOW TO MID 90S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. LOWS WILL
AVERAGE AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH UPPER 60S ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND LOWER 70S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.
&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EDT THURSDAY...

THE GENERAL TREND OF THE UPPER LEVEL SYNOPTIC PATTERN TRANSITIONS
INTO ONE WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEAST CANADA...AND A BUILDING
RIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY REGION. IN BETWEEN...ACROSS
OUR REGION...IS EXPECTED TO BE A PERSISTENT BAROCLINIC ZONE.
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT ALONG NORTHWEST FLOW BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND
UPPER LOW WILL BE PERIODIC SHORTWAVE TROUGHS RIDING ALONG THE
FLOW...EACH ONE EXPECTED TO PROGRESS INTO AND ACROSS THE REGION.
THESE FEATURES WILL HELP INCREASE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS...IN ADDITION TO THE DIURNAL ACTIVITY THAT IS EXPECTED. THE
GREATEST POTENTIAL WILL BE ACROSS THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE REGION.
FOR NOW THE FORECAST WILL REFLECT THE GREATEST COVERAGE AS
SCATTERED...BUT IF AN MCS IS AMONG ONE OF THESE FEATURES...COVERAGE
WILL BE ON A LARGER SCALE.

TEMPERATURES DURING THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL BE WARMEST ON
MONDAY...AND THEN TREND SLIGHTLY COOLER TUESDAY...AND THEN STAY AT
SIMILAR LEVELS FOR HIGHS AND LOWS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. FOR ALL TIME FRAMES...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE
NORMAL.
&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1235 PM EDT THURSDAY...

ANOTHER WARM MUGGY AFTERNOON IN STORE WITH AFTERNOON BUILD-UPS
AND WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS RESULTING IN BRIEF MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS ESPCLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. ASIDE FROM THE THUNDERSTORM
THREAT AND EARLY MORNING FOG...CONDITIONS TO REMAIN PRIMARILY VFR
THROUGH THE VALID TAF PERIOD. WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO THE
SOUTH...WINDS AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH WILL RESULT IN
WESTERLY WIND FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA...GUSTY AT TIMES ESPCLY
THIS AFTERNOON.

FOG AGAIN OVERNIGHT DEPENDENT UPON THE DEGREE OF RAINFALL THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH POTENTIAL TO SEE AREAS OF LIFR/IFR IN
FOG/STRATUS IN THE VALLEYS LATE AND EVEN MVFR ELSEWHERE THAT
RECEIVES A HEAVY SHOWER. FOR NOW WILL TREND TOWARD PERSISTENCE
FROM LAST NIGHT AND INCLUDE A PERIOD OF MVFR IN FOG AT ALL
LOCATIONS EXCLUDING KROA/KBLF...WITH MVFR AT KLYH/KDAN AND IFR
AROUND KBCB/KLWB.

REPEAT PERFORMANCE LIKELY ON FRIDAY WITH FOG GIVING WAY TO MORE
BUILD-UPS BY AFTERNOON WITH AT LEAST SCATTERED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
COVERAGE INTO THE EVENING.

MODELS INDICATE THAT THE PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST/MID ATLANTIC STATES WILL BE WEAKEN WITH TIME AS THE
REMNANTS OF TS BILL MOVE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA THIS WEEKEND.
MODELS SUGGEST THE BEST LIFT OVER OUR AREA FROM TS BILL WILL OCCUR
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS.

SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR LOOKS TO ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT IMPULSES
TRACKING SOUTHEAST FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST MAY BRING A COUPLE
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/STORMS AND POSSIBLE SUB-VFR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
