AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1127 PM EST MON NOV 16 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY...MAKING WAY FOR INCREASING MOISTURE IN
ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE
REGION LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH SOME AREAS
RECEIVING VERY GUSTY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN TO THE
REGION FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 830 PM EDT MONDAY...

RIDGING BOTH SURFACE AND ALOFT REMAINS OVER THE AREA TONIGHT WITH
LINGERING DRY AIR IN PLACE PER DEWPOINTS AND LOW PWAT OFF THE RNK
SOUNDING. WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY EJECTING NORTHEAST FROM THE MAIN
UPPER SYSTEM OVER THE PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE OVER THE
AMPLIFYING MID LEVEL RIDGE OVERNIGHT RESULTING IN INCREASING
MID/HIGH CLOUDS. HOWEVER EVENING SOUNDINGS SHOW VERY DRY AIR BELOW
6H WHICH SHOULD LIMIT ANY -RA/SPRINKLES TO THE WEST FROM ADVANCING
VERY FAR EAST. THUS WILL CONTINUE WITH THE DRY BUT MOSTLY CLOUDY
FORECAST OVERNIGHT OVERALL. GIVEN DRY DEWPOINTS AND ONLY THIN HIGH
CLOUDS AT TIMES...EXPECT LOW TEMPS MAY BE ABLE TO FALL CLOSER TO
THE COLDER MAV MOS IN THE VALLEYS AND OUT EAST...WHILE STAYING
MORE IN LINE WITH THE WARMER MET VALUES ESPCLY WESTERN RIDGES
WHERE CLOUDS SHOULD BE THICKER AT TIMES. THIS SUPPORTS INCLUDING A
FEW 30S IN THE VALLEYS AND ACROSS THE PIEDMONT BUT WARMER IN SPOTS
SUCH AS BLF AND ROA OVERNIGHT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AS OF 230 PM EST MONDAY...

THE REGION WILL EXPERIENCE A TIME OF TRANSITION OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. THE HIGH PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN IN CONTROL OF OUR WEATHER FOR
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...HAS BEEN CENTERED OVER EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA TODAY...AND WILL WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THE REPOSITIONING OF THE
HIGH...AND THE ADVANCE EASTWARD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WILL
BRING OUR LOW LEVEL WINDS AROUND MORE TO THE SOUTHEAST...AND THEY
WILL PROGRESSIVELY START TO INCREASE IN SPEED STARTING TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THE RESULT WILL BE AN INCREASE...AND A LOWERING OF THE
CLOUD COVER TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. PRECIPITATION WILL STILL BE
UNLIKELY THOUGH.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AND
INCREASING DEW POINTS. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S TO
THE LOWER 40S FOR MOST OF THE REGION. ON TUESDAY....HIGHS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN THOSE REALIZED TODAY. UPPER 50S
TO LOWER 60S WILL BE THE NORM IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH LOW TO MID 60S
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM EST MONDAY...

BECOMING WINDY OVER THE WESTERN RIDGES TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY...AS 8H LOW LVL JET OF 65KT PUSHES FROM THE MID
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THE ORIENTATION OF
THE LOW LVL WINDS FAVORS A DEFINITE WIND ADVISORY EVENT FOR THE
MOUNTAIN EMPIRE AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF MERCER TO GREENBRIER. THIS
WILL BE INHIBITED BY HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER THERE IS AS THIS TENDS TO
SUPPRESS THE MIXING. HOWEVER...GIVEN SUCH A STRONG SSE FLOW...THINK
THERE WILL BE SOME POCKETS OF CLEARING TUESDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY
BEFORE THE RAIN MOVES. SINCE THIS WILL BE LATE 3RD PERIOD WILL HOLD
OFF ON ANY HEADLINES...AND CONTINUE TO MENTION IN THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK.

THE REST OF THE FORECAST CENTERS ON INCREASING PWATS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT LATE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MODELS SHOWING SOME UPSLOPE
RAIN/DRIZZLE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. WILL THEN SEE THE
TRANSITION TO MORE SHOWERY CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOLLOWED
BY A SOAKING RAINFALL WED NIGHT...AS THE MAIN BELT OF MOISTURE
SLIDES ACROSS.

MODELS IN AGREEMENT AGREEMENT THAT 1"+ SHOULD FALL WITH THIS
EVENT...BUT TIMING VARIES SOMEWHAT WITH THE 12Z GFS SLIGHTLY FASTER
IN MOVING THE SLUG OF RAINFALL ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. LEANED THE
FORECAST MORE TOWARD A BLEND OF THE ECMWF/GFS...WHICH WILL BE ENDING
THE RAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS THURSDAY MORNING AND BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
IN THE PIEDMONT.

HIGHER RAINFALL RATES WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE
THANKS TO ENHANCEMENT PROVIDED BY UPSLOPE FLOW. KEEPING THE FORECAST
RAINFALL FROM 1.25-1.5" MOST LOCATIONS...BUT UPWARDS OF 3" ACROSS
THE NC HIGH COUNTRY. WPC HAS EXTENDED ITS SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL TO INCLUDE MOST OF SW VA INTO THE NW NC MTNS. WILL MENTION
POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

AS FOR TEMPS...WEDNESDAY WILL BE MILD BUT QUESTION IS HOW MILD WITH
A WEDGE IN PLACE. THINK LOCATIONS LIKE FAR SW VA AND OUTSIDE THE
WEDGE OVER THE NC PIEDMONT COULD SEE 70...WHILE MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA STAYS IN THE 60S...WITH SOME 50S ACROSS THE ALLEGHANYS.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD NOT FALL TOO FAR WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH 50S WEST
TO LOWER 60S EAST.

THE BEST COLD ADVECTION DOES NOT ARRIVE UNTIL THURSDAY NIGHT SO
THURSDAY COULD BE MILD ONCE RAIN MOVES EAST AND WE CLEAR OUT.
DOWNSLOPING WINDS SHOULD HELP TEMPS JUMP TO THE MID TO UPPER 60S IN
THE PIEDMONT WITH 50S IN THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM EST MONDAY...

RATHER QUIET WX PATTERN SHAPING UP THIS PERIOD...WITH 5H TROUGH AXIS
SITUATED FROM THE GREAT LAKES/ONTARIO SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE
BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA. THIS IS GOING TO PROVIDE AT OR BELOW
NORMAL TEMPS INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS TROUGH HEADS EAST OF US SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY WITH A FAST WNW FLOW ALOFT...BRINGING US DRY/COOL WX BUT
COULD SEE SOME CLOUDINESS OF THE MID AND HIGH VARIETY FROM TIME TO
TIME.

AS THE SFC HIGH OVER THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY MOVES EAST OFF THE
VIRGINIA COAST MONDAY EXPECT SOME MODERATING TEMPS...THOUGH WILL SEE
POTENTIAL FOR INCREASING CLOUDS.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 1110 PM EST MONDAY...

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY BUT
REMAIN NOSED INTO THE AREA FROM OFF NEW ENGLAND THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY. VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
AT ALL TAF SITES...CLOUD COVER WILL BE GRADUALLY THICKENING AND
