AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1216 PM EST FRI JAN 30 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL MOVE EAST AND OFF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST THIS AFTERNOON...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE FOR
SATURDAY. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES ON SATURDAY...CROSSING THE CENTRAL PART
OF THE NATION SUNDAY...AND REACHING THE EAST COAST BY MONDAY
MORNING.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 940 AM EST FRIDAY...

MORNING SOUNDING AT RNK SHOWING A GREAT SETUP FOR SNOW BANDS WITH
DEEP MOISTURE TO NEARLY 700 MB WITHIN A STEEP LOW LEVEL INVERSION
AIDED BY INSTABILITY...AND NW WINDS OF 30+ KNOTS THAT ARE
INCREASING WITH HEIGHT UNDER THE INVERSION. THIS HAS ALREADY
PRODUCED BURSTS OF HEAVIER SNOW WITHIN BANDS OVER THE NEW RIVER
VALLEY AND POINTS WEST AHEAD OF THE MAIN ARCTIC BOUNDARY THAT IS
NOW CROSSING INTO SE WEST VA PER UPSTREAM AXIS OF SNOW NOW WEST OF
BLF. THINK THE APPROACH OF THIS FEATURE ALONG WITH MORE HEATING
WILL TURN BANDS INTO MORE CONVECTIVE NATURE POCKETS OF SNOW
SHOWERS INTO THE AFTERNOON BUT IN A DECREASING FASHION GIVEN
INFLUX OF DRIER AIR FROM THE NW. ALSO BEST JET AND CORE OF THE 850
MB COLD ADVECTION WILL BE PASSING BY EARLY AFTERNOON SUPPORTING A
SLOW DOWNWARD TREND TO PRECIP. STILL APPEARS ENOUGH LINGERING TO
EXTEND THE ADVISORY OVER WESTERN GREENBRIER UNTIL 4 PM WHILE
COVERING ELSEWHERE WITH CONTINUED SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS GIVEN
MORE ISOLATED NATURE TO THE HEAVIER SNOW. THUS ALSO TWEAKED UP
POPS TO MORE LIKELY/CATEGORICAL WEST FOR A FEW MORE HOURS...THEN
DECREASED TO MAINLY THE NW UPSLOPE AREAS THIS AFTERNOON.

WINDS STILL LOOK GOOD ALTHOUGH SEEING SOME HIGHER GUSTS RIDE EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE PER PASSING SHORTWAVE ATTM AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER
SURGE THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN THE FINAL WAVE AND DEEP MIXING. DID
BOOST SPEEDS UP A BIT MORE AND BUMPED TO NEAR ADVISORY EAST FOR A
WHILE BUT NOT PLANNING TO EXPAND THE GOING ADVISORY FOR NOW. MAY
SEE A FEW GUSTS CLOSE TO WARNING CRITERIA WITHIN BANDS BUT THINK
THE COMBO OF A HIGH INVERSION LEVEL AND CLOUDS TO LIMIT SPEEDS SO
NO UPGRADE TO HEADLINES WEST. KEPT TEMPS STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING
WEST THIS AFTERNOON AND DROPPING OUT EAST LATER AS SOME EARLY
HIGHS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AS OF 500 AM EST FRIDAY...

SURFACE CYCLONE RESIDES TO OUR NORTH OVER NEW ENGLAND WITH A
SURFACE COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC REGION.
THIS FRONT CROSSED OUR FORECAST AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT
RESULTING IN WINDS SHIFTING TO THE NORTHWEST. TEMPERATURES HAVE
FALLEN INTO THE 30S BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE A
MORE SUBSTANTIAL TUMBLE LATER THIS MORNING AS A SECONDARY SURGE OF
COLD AIR ARRIVES FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS COLDER AIR WAS
ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WHICH IS EXPECTED
TO CROSS THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN 9AM AND NOON. THIS DISTURBANCE WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN AN ENHANCEMENT OF THE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER
THE MOUNTAINS IN ADDITION TO FALLING TEMPERATURES AND A FURTHER
INCREASE IN WIND SPEED.

THE FORECAST FOR TODAY IS ESSENTIALLY UNCHANGED. A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE HIGHLANDS OF WV...WITH AN
ADDITIONAL 2 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW EXPECTED FOR PLACES LIKE
QUINWOOD/CRAWLEY WV (THEY HAD AN INCH OR TWO ON THE GROUND AS OF
4AM). 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW IS STILL POSSIBLE FARTHER SOUTH
THROUGH BLUEFIELD AND INTO THE HIGH COUNTRY OF NC...WITH A DUSTING
IN THE NEW RIVER VALLEY...AND SCATTERED FLURRIES AS FAR EAST AS
THE BLUE RIDGE. A WIND ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL
COUNTIES NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE AND ACROSS THE VA/NC HIGHLANDS/HIGH
COUNTRY. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS MORNING AND PEAK
THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS IN THE 40-55 MPH RANGE...THE STRONGEST
GUSTS NEAR THE RIDGE CRESTS. STRONG MOMENTUM MIX DOWN ALOFT WILL
ALSO RESULT IN SOME HEALTHY WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE PIEDMONT OF
VA/NC WITH POTENTIAL FOR 35 MPH GUSTS TO BE OBSERVED FOR
DANVILLE.

COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL
STRUGGLE TO RISE TODAY DUE TO THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION...WILL
TAKE A MORE SERIOUS NOSE DIVE TONIGHT...READINGS DIPPING INTO THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND INTO THE
LOWER 20S (POSSIBLY THE UPPER TEENS) FOR AREAS EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. WINDS TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILL VALUES DIPPING
INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR MOST AREAS...AND BELOW ZERO IN THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 AM EST FRIDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY SATURDAY MORNING WILL BUILD
SOUTHEAST INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. IF WINDS STAY UP SATURDAY
MORNING...WIND CHILLS NEAR ZERO ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO
AROUND 10F ABOVE IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. IN THE EAST...UPPER TEEN
WIND CHILLS ARE LIKELY. A NICE SATURDAY EXPECTED WITH PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE MID 20S IN THE
NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 40S IN THE PIEDMONT.

AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHWARD INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...CLOUD
COVER WILL INCREASE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. LOW
TEMPERATURES SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE WARMER THAN FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
READINGS FROM AROUND 20 DEGREES IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 30
DEGREES ALONG THE SOUTHEAST BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS.

AN UPPER LEVEL NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH WILL SWING OUT OF THE ROCKIES
AND TRAVEL EAST SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THE STRENGTH OF THIS
TROUGH MAY HOLD THE KEY TO SUNDAY COMPLICATED WEATHER FORECAST WITH
TEMPERATURES AND PLACEMENT OF SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. THIS MORNING 00Z
GFS...ECMWF AND CANADIAN GUIDANCE HAS SHIFTS THE PLACEMENT AND TRACK
OF THE LOW FURTHER NORTH FOR SUNDAY.

THE P-TYPE QUESTION HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE WITH SUNDAY FORECAST.
TEMPERATURES AND THICKNESSES START COLD ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS FOR
PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS SNOW. IF DRY AIR IS LEFT-OVER FROM
DEPARTING HIGH PRESSURE...PRECIPITATION FALLING COULD SEND WET BULB
TEMPERATURES DOWN BELOW FREEZING...KEEPING MOUNTAIN PRECIPITATION AS
SNOW AND A COLD RAIN IN THE EAST. IF THE SURFACE LOW BECOMES
STRONGER...MORE WARM AIR WILL SURGE INTO THE AREA CHANGING SNOW OVER
TO RAIN THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY...THEN COLD AIR ENTERS LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT TO CHANGE RAIN BACK TO SNOW.  MOS TEMPERATURES REMAIN QUITE
CONSISTENT FOR HIGHS SUNDAY WITH READINGS IN THE LOWER 30S IN THE
NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 40S IN THE PIEDMONT.

THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER LIFTS NORTHEAST AND BY SUNDAY NIGHT IS
LOCATED NEAR ANNAPOLIS. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EAST
ACROSS OUR REGION SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS IS WHEN THE UPSLOPE SNOW
SHOWERS AND SNOW FLURRIES WILL REALLY KICK IN. SOME SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WEST WITH THE HIGHEST TOTALS IN
THE WESTERN GREENBRIER COUNTY. SOME ADVISORY LEVEL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS COULD BE POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS BY
MONDAY MORNING. WILL MENTION POTENTIAL FOR SNOW IN THE HWO. LOW
TEMPERATURES SUNDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE TEENS IN THE NORTHWEST
TO THE UPPER 30S IN THE SOUTHEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EST THURSDAY...

TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED...TRENDING TO MUCH
BELOW NORMAL TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

MODELS KEEP THINGS PROGRESSIVE AND ARE CONSISTENT IN PHASING THE
UPPER LEVEL SPLIT FLOW PATTERN INTO A LONG WAVE WESTERN
TROF/EASTERN RIDGE PATTERN. THIS WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR A SHOT OF
ARCTIC AIR AS WE GET TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD.

WE START THE PERIOD WITH A COASTAL LOW OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
COAST PULLING AWAY FROM THE REGION...LEAVING US WITH COLDER AIR
MOVING IN AND RESIDUAL NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLOW SNOW SHOWERS WEST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. THE SNOW SHOWERS COME TO AN END MONDAY NIGHT AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE OHIO VALLEY AND BRINGS US QUIET
AND COLD WEATHER FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

THE NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION COMES ON WEDNESDAY AS DEEPENING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS DRIVEN BY A VIGOROUS SHOT WAVE THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES REGION AND INTO CANADA. THIS WILL SWING A COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE REGION...OPENS THE DOOR TO ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN FROM THE MIDWEST. MODEL RUN TO RUN VARIABILITY IN THE
EXTENDED HAS BEEN QUITE HIGH RECENTLY AND WHILE EVOLUTION OF THE
OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN SEEMS SOLID...DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF
CONFIDENCE IN SPECIFICS FROM ANY OF THE INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS. THE
EURO IS QUITE AGGRESSIVE IN DIGGING THE EASTERN TROF AND DEVELOPS
A COASTAL LOW MOVING OUT OF THE GULF WITH A CHANCE OF WINTRY
PRECIPITATION FOR OUR NORTH AND WEST AREAS...WHILE THE GFS/NAEFS
IS LESS AMPLIFIED AND DOES NOT ADVERTISE A COASTAL LOW AND KEEPS
US MOSTLY DRY. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT IN
LATER MODEL RUNS BUT FOR NOW WILL SHADE THE FORECAST TOWARD THE
DRIER GFS/NAEFS.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1210 PM EST FRIDAY...

MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES WITH STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. WITH A 50KT NORTHWESTERLY JET ALOFT OVER THE
REGION... EXPECT 25-40KT SURFACE WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT AFTER SUNSET...BUT WILL
NOT COMPLETELY DIMINISH UNTIL HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD
SATURDAY.

MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST AS WELL INTO LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH MVFR/OCNL IFR LIKELY ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...IMPACTING KBLF/KLWB/KBCB. FLURRIES MAY DRIFT AS FAR
EAST AS THE BLUE RIDGE...BUT OVERALL VFR WITH LATE AFTERNOON
CLEARING IS EXPECTED EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE PER STRONG SUBSIDENCE
AND DRYING.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH FOR SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE
REGION FROM THE WEST. ANY REMAINING LOW CLOUDS LINGERING ACROSS
EASTERN WEST VA SHOULD DISSIPATE...WITH MAINLY VFR REGION WIDE
FOR SATURDAY.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM HEADING OUT OF THE SW STATES WILL
BRING A RETURN OF CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY WITH
WIDESPREAD MVFR TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS LIKELY WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME.
THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA WILL LIKELY SEE SOME WINTER
PRECIPITATION WITH THIS EVENT...WHILE THE SOUTHERN AREAS SHOULD
SEE MOSTLY RAIN. IN BETWEEN...LOCATIONS SUCH AS
KBCB/KROA/KLYH...COULD SEE A BRIEF MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW AT THE
ONSET WITH MOSTLY A RAIN EVENT OVERALL. MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS WITH
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY...WITH STRONG AND GUSTY
WINDS ALL AREAS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED BY TUESDAY WITH VFR RETURNING FOR ALL LOCATIONS UNDER
HIGH PRESSURE.
