Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 3:59 PM EDT, 2 hours 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
359 PM EDT SAT JUN 13 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC COAST WILL GRADUALLY
STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A SURFACE FRONT NORTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER WILL DIP SOUTH TOWARD OUR REGION TONIGHT...BEFORE
RETREATING BACK TO THE NORTH ON SUNDAY. THIS PATTERN IS EXPECTED
TO STAY IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT SATURDAY...

SFC COLD FRONT EXTENDS E-W ALONG THE MASON-DIXON INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY. HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OVER GEORGIA AND THE SOUTHEAST
ATLANTIC COAST. SURFACE PRESSURE FIELDS INDICATE GENERAL RIDGING
FROM THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH NORTHWARD ALONG THE SPINE OF
THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS WITH A LEE TROUGH OVER THE PIEDMONT.

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM SHOWERS/STORMS ONGOING ALONG AND JUST SOUTH
OF SURFACE FRONT ACROSS NRN WV INTO CENTRAL VA WILL BE MAIN FOCUS
FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS EVENING. CURRENT FORECAST WHICH
ENTERTAINS HIGHEST POPS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN CWA FROM LWB-LYH AND
POINTS NORTH LOOKS GOOD FOR THIS EVENING. ELSEWHERE...SHOWER/STORM
ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE ISOLD.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE I-64 CORRIDOR...SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD
WANE WITH LOSS OF HEATING THIS EVENING. OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND
CONVERGENCE FROM BACKDOOR FRONT TO OUR NORTH WILL ALLOW POTENTIAL
FOR CONTINUED ACTIVITY WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT FOR OUR NORTHERN
CWA...WITH POTENTIAL FOR SCT SHOWERS EVEN INTO THE LATE NIGHT AND
EARLY MORNING HOURS FROM LWB-LYH AND POINTS NORTH.

FOR SUNDAY...PRIMARY FOCUS FOR DEEP CONVECTION WILL ONCE AGAIN BE
MAINLY CONFINED TO OUR NORTHERN CWA...BUT WITH INCREASING
SUBSIDENCE FROM BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS COVERAGE SHOULD BE LESS THAN COMPARED TO SATURDAY.

THE AIRMASS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL ESSENTIALLY REMAIN
UNCHANGED...THUS EXPECTING A REPEAT OF WARM/MUGGY NIGHT TIME LOWS
AND INCREASINGLY WARMER DAYTIME HIGHS AS HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES
FIRMLY ESTABLISHED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT SATURDAY...

A PATTERN TYPICAL FOR MIDSUMMER WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE OUR WEATHER
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE EAST COAST WITH A
SURFACE HIGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST WILL KEEP THE MAIN STORM TRACK AROUND
THE PERIPHERY OF OUR AREA...WITH IMPULSES OF ENERGY RIDING AN OLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BRUSHING OUR FAR NORTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS. THERE
WILL BE NO CHANGE IN AIRMASS AND HEAT/HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
THROUGH MIDWEEK. WHILE THERE WILL BE AMPLE INSTABILITY TO DRIVE
CONVECTION THE DYNAMICS NECESSARY FOR A THREAT OF ORGANIZED SEVERE
WEATHER WILL REMAIN CONFINED TO THE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY SKIRTING FAR
NORTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS AS PER SPC DAYS 2/3 OUTLOOKS. OUTSIDE OF
THE FAR NORTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS...WE WILL SEE A CONTINUING PATTERN
OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS/STORMS WITH LOCALIZED VERY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS...ESPECIALLY FROM THE BLUE RIDGE WESTWARD. MODEL SOLUTIONS
START TO DIVERGE A BIT BY MIDWEEK THE UPPER RIDGE LOSES AMPLITUDE...
POTENTIALLY ALLOWING SOME ENERGY TO APPROACH FROM THE MIDWEST AND BRING
BETTER COVERAGE OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO THE REGION

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT SATURDAY...

MAIN DISPARITY IN MODEL SOLUTIONS IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD SEEMS TO
RESIDE IN TIMING OF FEATURES AS AN UPPER TROF APPROACHES FROM THE WEST
AND PICKS UP SOME REMNANT ENERGY FROM A SYSTEM COMING OUT OF THE GULF
OF MEXICO. ONE OF THE DAYS LATE IN THE PERIOD WILL LIKELY BE WETTER AND
MORE ACTIVE THAN THE OTHERS...BUT IT IS TOO EARLY TO DEFINITIVELY SAY
WHICH DAY THIS WILL BE. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR LATER MODEL RUNS TO
PAINT A CLEARER PICTURE AS THEY CONVERGE ON A SOLUTION. REGARDLESS OF
THE SOLUTION THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE IN AIRMASS AND WE WILL STAY HOT
AND HUMID WITH A DIURNAL BIAS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT SATURDAY...

SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS/STORMS SHOULD WANE WITH
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. BEST COVERAGE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS
WILL BE ALONG THE INTERSTATE 64 CORRIDOR FROM CRW-LWB-RIC.

FOR THE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...EXPECTING A REPEAT OF
PATCHY MOUNTAIN VALLEY FOG FOLLOWED BY WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS/STORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

ASIDE FROM THE PATCHY FOG AND SHOWER/STORM THREAT...CONDITIONS
WILL REMAIN PRIMARILY VFR.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS WILL RESULT
IN HOT HUMID CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK. MOISTURE STREAMING AROUND THE PERIPHERY
OF THE HIGH WILL RESULT IN GREATEST COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/STORMS
FROM THE MS VALLEY UP THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE
NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC. LOCALLY...THE SHOWER AND STORM THREAT WILL
BE MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN WITH ONLY LOCALIZED MVFR/IFR. FOR THE
MOST PART...CONDITIONS WILL PRIMARILY REMAIN VFR.
