AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1214 AM EST WED MAR 4 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING INTO
TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. LOW PRESSURE OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL TRACK INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA AND WILL PUSH A
COLD FRONT INTO THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. COLDER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT
WILL ALLOW FOR A TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 1000 PM EST TUESDAY...

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY RISE DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS
WARM AIR ADVECTION INCREASES AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT IN THE
OHIO VALLEY. PLAYED POPS HIGHEST IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE LIGHTEST
IN THE SOUTHEAST. USED A NON-DIURNAL CURVE FOR TEMPERATURES THIS
OVERNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL RANGE MID 30S IN THE
NORTHEAST TO NEAR 50 DEGREES IN THE WEST. AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND THE PROBABILITY OF MODERATE RAIN IN THE
NORTHWEST COUNTY WARNING AREA INCREASES.

WEDNESDAY MORNING STARTS WITH A COLD FRONT SITUATED ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA FROM THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS
THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE. STRONG MOISTURE FLOW INTO THE AREA ON A
50KT TO 60KT SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL PUSH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES TO 1.0-1.1 INCHES IN THE WEST...AND AS HIGH AS 1.4
INCHES FURTHER EAST...ALL SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE NORMAL FOR EARLY
MARCH. DURING THE MORNING...RAIN WILL BE WIDESPREAD WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...ALTHOUGH THE STRONGEST LIFT/HEAVIEST RAINFALL PROGGED TO BE
WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...JUST SCRAPPING SOUTHEAST WEST
VIRGINIA...PARTICULARLY THE WEST FACING SLOPES. FURTHER EAST...WILL
LIKELY SEE A BAND OF HEAVY RAIN JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS IT SLOWLY
DRIFTS EAST THROUGH THE DAY. THE NAM...GFS AND ECMWF...DEVELOP A
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING SLOWING ITS PROGRESSES SOUTH. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE QUITE MILD WITH READINGS FROM THE
UPPER 40S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER TO MID 60S IN THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...

ISSUE THIS PERIOD WILL BE WITH HOW QUICK COLDER AIR ARRIVES IN
TIMING WITH PRECIP. 12Z MODELS CONTINUE TO FAVOR SLOWER ARRIVAL OF
FRONT BUT EDGE COLDER AIR INTO THE MOUNTAINS OF WV BY WEDNESDAY
EVENING. AT THE SAME TIME...LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE FRONT MOVING NE
WILL AID IN A WARM NOSE PUNCHING BACK WEST TO CHANGE ANY SNOW TO
SLEET BEFORE THE ARCTIC AIR PLUNGES SE AS THE LOW MOVES BY THURSDAY
MORNING.

QPF IS THE ISSUE AND STILL APPEARS THE CORRIDOR OF HIGHER QPF WILL
STRETCH FROM ERN KY THROUGH NORTHERN VA WITH SECONDARY MAX IN THE
PIEDMONT WITH SFC LOW INFLUENCE. WITH WINTRY PRECIP...WENT CLOSER TO
THE 12Z GFS WITH A BLEND OF ECMWF ON TEMPS. WITH THIS IN MIND
CONFIDENCE IS 50/50 THAT OUR EXTREME NRN CWA FROM GREENBRIER TO
AMHERST WILL FLIRT WITH WARNING LEVEL SNOW/SLEET BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...AND IN COLLABORATION WITH WFO STERLING AND WFO
CHARLESTON ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH FROM GREENBRIER TO AMHERST.
EXPECT THE HIGHER TOTALS TO OCCUR IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WRN
GREENBRIER...NE GREENBRIER INTO THE ALLEGHANYS OF BATH...TO THE BLUE
RIDGE MTNS OF AMHERST. OVERALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE IN THE 2 TO 6 INCH
RANGE...THOUGH SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IF
THE COLDER AIR SURGES SWD QUICKER WITH PRECIP IN PLACE.

THIS WATCH RUNS FROM MIDNIGHT WED NIGHT THROUGH 7PM THURSDAY.

FURTHER SOUTH EXPECT RAIN TO WINTRY MIX THROUGH THURSDAY. COULD SEE
A WINTER ADVISORY GOING UP FOR THE REST OF THE CWA FOR
THURSDAY...EXCEPT PERHAPS THE NC FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT INTO SRN VA.

TEMPS WED NIGHT WILL SLOWLY FALL...AND MAY STAY STEADY OUT EAST
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. TEMPS WILL THEN DROP ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA
THURSDAY WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION TAKING SHAPE. 8H TEMPS FALL FROM
+6C IN THE PIEDMONT/-6C IN THE WV MTNS AT 12Z THU TO ZERO EAST TO
-12C WEST BY 00Z FRI. SO THE LOWS THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE THE HIGHS
THURSDAY FOR SOME OF OUR MTN COUNTIES...WITH TEMPS FALLING TO 20 BY
DUSK THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM EST TUESDAY...

THURSDAY EVENING...THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE
EXITING FRONT WILL HAVE EXITED THE REGION...OR JUST BE ON THE
EASTERN FRINGES. ALSO...ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...NORTHWEST
FLOW UPSLOPE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWER WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. BY MIDNIGHT...THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WEAKENS AND VEERS
MORE NORTHERLY...MUCH LESS CONDUCIVE FOR ADDITIONAL UPSLOPE SNOW
SHOWERS. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL ADVECT INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF
THE FRONT. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM
AROUND ZERO TO PLUS FIVE OVER SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA AND PLUS FIVE
TO LOWER TEENS OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND
NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA. ACROSS THE PIEDMONT...LOWS WILL BE IN THE
TEENS. WINDS WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE BY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...BUT WITH THE LOW TEMPERATURES WIND CHILL
VALUES WILL FLIRT WITH THE ADVISORY THRESHOLD OF FIVE BELOW ZERO
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION...WITH
ITS CENTER SHIFTING EAST OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY NIGHT. THE RESULT
WILL BE A DRY FORECAST...WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES. AFTER HIGHS
ON FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA...HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL RANGE MORE IN THE 40S WEST TO LOWER
50S EAST.

THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE VARIATION IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE DURING
THE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY TIME PERIOD. WHILE EACH IS FAIRLY
CONSISTENT THAT A LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN
THIRD OF CONUS...THERE HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENCIES AS TO WHETHER OR
NOT...AND WHEN...AND WHAT TRACK A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM MAY GET
PICKED UP ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS TROUGH AND PROGRESS NORTHEAST
ACROSS OUR AREA. THE GFS HAS NOT BEEN FAVORABLE OF THIS OCCURRENCE.
THE ECMWF WAS OPTIMISTIC ON AN ARRIVAL A SOUTHERN SYSTEM ON MONDAY
IN YESTERDAYS SOLUTION. TODAYS SOLUTION PLACES THAT EVENT ABOUT 24
HOURS LATER ON TUESDAY. OUR FORECAST TODAY WILL REFLECT TEMPERATURES
CONTINUING TO MODERATE THROUGH MONDAY...WITH THE THINKING THAT THE
DEVELOPING TROUGH AXIS WILL REMAIN TO OUR WEST...AND WE WILL
CONTINUE IN WARM AIR ADVECTION AT THE SURFACE. IT WILL ALSO REFLECT
THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA WHERE 850 MB FLOW WILL BE MORE W-NW.
IT WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM
IMPACTING THE AREA ON TUESDAY WITH RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 100 AM EST WEDNESDAY...

LIGHT RAIN WILL PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE
WEST TO THE EAST AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES. CIGS CURRENTLY ARE
MAINLY IN THE MVFR RANGE WITH VSBYS VFR. THE TREND WILL BE FOR
CIGS TO LOWER INTO THE LIFR RANGE WITH VSBYS IFR DURING THE NIGHT.
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE LIKELY...NOW THROUGH ROUGHLY 13Z/8AM
ON THURSDAY COINCIDENT WITH THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH
THE APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF THE WARM FRONT. THE ARRIVAL AND
PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT WILL DISCONTINUE THE SHEAR...OR AT LEAST
MAKE IT TOO WEAK TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THAT POINT.

A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL RIDE ALONG THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY AND
PROVIDE FOR WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AND IFR/MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS. LOW
LEVEL WINDS WILL SHIFT NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT. IT SHOULD REACH
ALL OUR TAF SITES BUT KDAN BY 00Z TOMORROW...BUT IT WILL BE ON ITS
WESTERN DOORSTEP AT THAT TIME.

MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON CEILINGS...VISIBILITIES AND WINDS DURING THE
TAF PERIOD.

EXTENDED FORECAST...

 WINTER PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY. AT THIS TIME THE MOST LIKELY PRECIPITATION TYPES ARE
SNOW AND SLEET.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL SEE A RETURN TO HIGH PRESSURE AND VFR
WEATHER.

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 300 PM EST TUESDAY...

FLOODING THREAT APPEARS TO STAY JUST WEST AND NORTH OF OUR CWA AS
MODELS HAVE 1.5" OR MORE IN 12 HRS PROJECTED HERE. PLUS ARRIVAL OF
COLDER AIR WITH BRUNT OF QPF MAY LIMIT RAINFALL BEFORE IT CHANGES
TO SLEET THEN SNOW. RIVER FORECAST CENTERS AS OF THIS MORNING WERE
FORECASTING A RISE TO JUST BELOW FLOOD STAGE AT ALDERSON IN
GREENBRIER COUNTY...TAKING INTO ACCOUNT GUIDANCE FROM LAST NIGHT.
WITH LESS QPF THIS MAY BE BACKED OFF. GIVEN SNOW MELT AND TIMING
OF COLDER AIR TO CHANGEOVER THERE SHOULD ONLY BE RISES ON RIVERS
AND STREAMS...BUT THE THREAT OF FLOODING IS NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT
A FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME.
