AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
757 PM EDT FRI APR 3 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL CROSS THE APPALACHIANS
TONIGHT...THEN PASS OFF THE EAST COAST ON SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL RETURN WITH DRY WEATHER FOR THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
AFTER A SUN FILLED EASTER SUNDAY...AN UNSETTLED...GENERALLY WET
PATTERN WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK AS A
FRONTAL SYSTEM STALLS NEAR THE REGION. TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND
WILL BE COOL...BUT ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 430 PM EDT FRIDAY...

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. NUMEROUS
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH SOME MODERATE TO STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL
ALSO ACCOMPANY THE FRONT...INITIALLY OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THIS
EVENING...THEN SHIFTING TO THE NORTHWEST AND INCREASING IN SPEED
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT OVERNIGHT.

85H WINDS...3-5KFT AGL...AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT ARE OUT
OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 40-50 MPH. MOMENTUM MIX DOWN ASSOCIATED WITH
TONIGHTS SHOWERS/STORMS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME RESPECTABLE
SURFACE WIND GUSTS. IF THERE IS A SEVERE THREAT IS WOULD BE FROM
DAMAGING WINDS. THE CAPE IS LOW...BUT THE WIND SHEAR IS HIGH.

THE MODELS INDICATE THE MAIN THREAT FOR GUSTY SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL BE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN 8PM AND MIDNIGHT...THEN
PASSING EAST ACROSS THE PIEDMONT BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 4AM. HIGHEST
QPF IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...RANGING FROM A HALF INCH
/0.50/ TO AN INCH /1.00/. THE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS
THEY PASS OVER THE MOUNTAINS SO AMOUNTS ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT WILL BE LESS ROBUST...AMOUNTS LESS THAN A HALF INCH.

SATURDAY WILL FEATURE CLEARING SKIES WITH THE RETURN OF GOOD
DRYING CONDITIONS AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST AND OFF THE COAST.
GUSTY POST FRONTAL NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY
HUMIDITY MINIMUMS BELOW 30 PERCENT DURING THE AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES EARLY TONIGHT WILL REMAIN MILD...READINGS REMAINING
IN THE 60S UNTIL FROPA. AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...THEY WILL
BEGIN TO TUMBLE...REACHING THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY. COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE DAY SATURDAY...WITH ONLY A 10 TO 15 DEGREE REBOUND IN
SPITE OF INCREASING SUNSHINE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...

FAIRLY QUIET WEATHER TO START THE PERIOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
REGION ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER FROM A CHILLY START
DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH READINGS GENERALLY IN THE MID 60S EAST OF
THE RIDGE...UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S WEST.

THEN AS THE UPPER FLOW TRANSITIONS TO FLAT RIDGING WE WILL GET INTO
WARM AND MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AND UNSETTLED WEATHER TO START THE
WEEK. A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES WILL COMBINE WITH A
FRONTAL ZONE BEING PUSHED INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH BY AN
ENCROACHING WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO KEEP A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST EACH DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY...

MODEL GUIDANCE KEEPS THE REGION IN A RATHER STAGNANT PATTERN WITH
THE WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE KEEPING A LID ON TEMPERATURES AND HOLDING
THE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA AS MORE WEAK IMPULSES OF
SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVE THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW. NOT EXACTLY A RING OF
FIRE SCENARIO BUT WE WILL STAY WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE END OF THE WORKWEEK. AFTER SUCCESSIVE
BOUTS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WE MAY START TO RUN INTO HYDRO
ISSUES BUT THIS WILL BE DETERMINED BY EXACTLY WHAT REGIONS ARE
AFFECTED BY THE MOST PERSISTENT PRECIPITATION.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM EDT FRIDAY...

SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG
WITH HEAVY RAIN. WESTERN CITIES SUCH AS LEWISBURG AND BLUEFIELD
HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING MORE RAIN TONIGHT THAN THE EASTERN
SITES. WINDS WILL FLIP AROUND FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO THE NORTHWEST
AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 3AM. GUSTY WINDS
UP TO 30KTS OR HIGHER ARE POSSIBLE IN SOME LOCATIONS... MAINLY
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...DUE TO INCREASING PRESSURE BEHIND THE
FRONT.

MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN CIGS THROUGHOUT THE TAF VALID PERIOD. MEDIUM
CONFIDENCE IN VSBYS THROUGHOUT THE TAF VALID PERIOD. MEDIUM TO
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WIND SPD/DIR THROUGHOUT THE TAF VALID PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION... HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE
AREA SUNDAY PROMOTING LIGHT WINDS AND VFR.

AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS APPEARS LIKELY FOR MUCH
OF NEXT WEEK AS THE AREA REMAINS TRAPPED UNDER AN ACTIVE STORM
TRACK FROM A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE SOUTHWEST CONUS.
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR LIKELY
THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WEATHER DISTURBANCES ALOFT TRACK ACROSS THE
REGION.
