AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
139 AM EDT TUE APR 5 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING AND MOVES
OFF THE EAST COAST AND INTO THE DEEP SOUTH TONIGHT. BY TUESDAY...A
LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL COVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN UNITED
STATES. LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WILL MOVE EAST
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 835 PM EDT MONDAY...

THE COLD FRONT IS ON THE DOOR STEP OF SOUTHEASTERN WEST VIRGINIA
THIS EVENING. THIS FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA THIS EVENING. UPDATE INCLUDES RECENT OBSERVATIONS AND
RADAR TRENDS.

AS OF 355 PM EDT MONDAY...

LOW PRESSURE THIS AFTERNOON WAS CENTERED NEAR STATE COLLEGE
PENNSYLVANIA WITH A COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTHWEST ALONG THE OHIO
RIVER VALLEY. REGIONAL WSR-88D IMAGES SHOWED SCATTERED SHOWERS AHEAD
AND ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS INDICATED A
SMALL AREA OF MUCAPE AROUND 100 ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA.
THE COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING
INTO TONIGHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND PERHAPS ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS.  IN SUPPORT OF THUNDERSTORM IS THE COMBINATION OF
HEATING AND COLDER AIR COMING WILL LEAD TO LARGE LAPSE RATES...SOME
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. WILL HOLD ON
TO THE MENTION OF GUSTY CONVECTION BECAUSE OF DCAPE VALUES AND A
LAYER OF DRY AIR BELOW THE CLOUD BASE. HOWEVER...I AM LESS IMPRESSED
FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. SPC DAY ONE
CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK HIGHLIGHTS NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE GUSTY WITH DEEP MIXING. BEHIND THE
BOUNDARY THERE WILL BE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AS 850 MB
TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE -8 TO -12 RANGE AND 6HR PRESSURE RISES
INCREASE TO AROUND 10MB. NO ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS FORECAST AT THIS
TIME. BECAUSE...WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.

FREEZE WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT TONIGHT ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE NORTH
OF ROANOKE...IN SMYTH COUNTY AND IN THE NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA
MOUNTAINS. LOW TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE TEENS IN
THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS IN SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA TO THE MID 30S
IN THE PIEDMONT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTHEAST TUESDAY OUT OFF THE GREAT LAKES
INTO OUR REGION. NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS WILL BE GUSTY DURING
TUESDAY MORNING THEN DECREASE IN SPEED TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE RUNNING 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER 30S IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS
TO THE MID 50S ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 408 PM EDT MONDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER HEAD TUES NIGHT SHOULD ALLOW MOST VALLEYS TO
DECOUPLE AND EXPECT MOST PLACES TO GET BELOW FREEZING AND THUS
CONTINUING FREEZE WATCH FOR THE TIME BEING FOR THOSE LOCATIONS
WHERE THE FROST/FREEZE PROGRAM HAS BEGUN. RETURN FLOW FROM THE SW ON
BACK SIDE OF HIGH SHOULD BEFORE BEFORE WED MORNING BUT THIS SHOULD
MAINLY IMPACT RIDGES WHICH WILL BEGIN TO WARM AND MAY GET BACK
ABOVE FREEZING THERE BUT NOT SURE ABOUT MOST VALLEYS.  SMYTH COUNTY
WILL THE ONE AREA WHERE VALLEYS MAY MIX AND TEMPS COULD COME BACK UP
OR NOT GET TO FREEZING FOR VERY LONG.  THIS WILL NEED TO BE RE-
ASSESSED AGAIN BEFORE DECISION TO GO TO FREEZE WARNING IS MADE.

WEDNESDAY TEMPS BOUNCE BACK UP A BIT FROM TUES WITH INCREASING
SOUTHWEST FLOW IN ADVANCE OF STRONG COLD FRONT AND DRY AIR.  EXPECT
PLENTY OF SUNSHINE WITH ONLY SOME CIRRUS SNEAKING IN LATE.  GUIDANCE
TRENDS ARE SLIGHTLY SLOWER FOR ARRIVAL OF PRECIP WED NIGHT AHEAD OF
DIGGING TROUGH...AND THIS MAY BE LARGELY DUE TO VERY DRY AIR MASS
THIS IS MOVING INTO.  ON THE OTHER HAND...12Z NAM IS CLEARLY NOW THE
FASTEST MODEL TO BRING HEAVIER RAINFALL INTO AND ACROSS THE AREA WED
NIGHT AND HAS THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS NEARLY EAST OF THE
FCST AREA BY 12Z THURS MORNING.  THIS MAY BE TOO FAST...BUT DO THINK
A SOMEWHAT MORE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT IS THE RIGHT TREND...DESPITE
THE RAIN INITIALLY TAKING A WHILE TO MAKE IT TO THE GROUND.  SO HAVE
COMPROMISED BETWEEN THE FASTER NAM AND OTHER SLIGHTLY SLOWER MODELS
WHICH ARE ALL IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT...BUT CONTINUE A SMALL CHANCE
OF SHOWERS IN THE FAR EAST INTO THE AFTERNOON TUES.  THIS MAY NEED
TO BE SPED UP FURTHER STILL THOUGH. NOT EXPECTED SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL FROM THIS FRONT AND ALSO HAVE NOT INCLUDED THUNDER AT THIS
TIME GIVEN LACK OF EVEN MID LEVEL INSTABILITY AND MAINLY NIGHTTIME
PASSAGE.  AMOUNTS WILL MAINLY BE UNDER AN INCH THROUGH FRIDAY...BUT
SOME HIGHER ELEVATION WESTERN SLOPES COULD GET A LITTLE BIT MORE
WITH UPSLOPE MOISTURE LINGERING INTO FRIDAY AND BEYOND...SOME OF
THIS IN FOR FORM OF SNOW THURS NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

AIRMASS BEHIND THIS FRONT ULTIMATELY THE COLDEST WE HAVE SEEN THIS
SPRING...WITH REINFORCING SHORT WAVES TO KEEP 850 TEMPS BELOW
FREEZING BY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY ALLOWING FOR SOME LIGHT
ACCUMULATION SNOW POTENTIAL AS MENTIONED ABOVE IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. HIGHS BY FRIDAY WILL BE ABOUT 20 DEG BELOW NORMAL. WINDS
BEHIND FRONT DO NOT APPEAR TO BE A THREAT FOR ANY DAMAGE...BUT COULD
GET INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 407 PM EDT MONDAY...

DEEP TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE EASTERN U.S. THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT
BEFORE SLOWLY LIFTING NORTHEAST LATER ON SUNDAY FOR SOME MODERATION.
BUT BREEZY AND CHILLY CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THE FIRST HALF OF THE
WEEKEND. LOWS SAT NIGHT LIKELY TO BE BACK WELL BELOW FREEZING AGAIN
AND WITH A LITTLE BREEZE THERE WILL BE A NOTICEABLE WIND CHILL. NW
UPSLOPE FLOW AND EVEN SOME FEED OFF THE GREAT LAKES COULD RESULT IN
SOME ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATION ALONG WESTERN SLOPES THROUGH AT
LEAST PART OF SATURDAY BUT HARD TO SAY HOW MUCH.  THE GROUND MAY
HAVE A CHANCE TO GET COLD ENOUGH DURING THE WEEK TO HELP
ACCUMULATION.

FLAT RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN BY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY FOR MODERATION
IN TEMPERATURES AND EVEN SOME SIGNS OF ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVE TO
JUSTIFY A SMALL CONTINUING CHANCE FOR SHOWERS...MAINLY IN THE WEST.
SOME CONCERN THAT THE UPPER TROUGH MAY BE A LITTLE SLOW TO FINALLY
EXIT WITH ANY SMALL SHORT WAVES STILL ON THE BACK SIDE...SO DID NOT
WARM UP TOO FAST ON SUNDAY. HOWEVER WE SHOULD GET CLOSER TO NORMAL
BY MONDAY AGAIN AS FLAT UPPER RIDGE OVERHEAD.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 135 AM EDT TUESDAY...

COLD FRONT WAS ACROSS SOUTHERN VIRGINIA AND STILL PROGRESSING
SOUTH. NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE GUSTY DUE TO
STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AND LARGE PRESSURE RISES. WINDS WILL
GUST 25 TO 30 KNOTS THROUGH 12Z/8AM. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
DRIFT OVER THE REGION TODAY...ALLOWING THE WINDS TO GRADUALLY SUBSIDE.

MVFR CEILINGS WERE ADVANCING SOUTHEAST THROUGH WEST VIRGINIA.
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE THAT THE CEILING AT KBCB WILL REMAIN VFR THROUGH
12Z/8AM. LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING WITH LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATIONS. LOW CLOUDS WILL REMAIN
BANKED UP AGAINST WESTERN SLOPES THIS MORNING...THEN WILL DISSIPATE
AS DRY AIR ENTERS THE REGION AND UPSLOPE WINDS DIMINISH AND TURN
TO THE NORTH. TONIGHT THE CENTER OF THE HIGH WILL BE OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION LEADING TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS AND A CLEAR
SKY AFTER SUNSET.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AND WINDS WILL COME AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND BRING IFR/MVFR
CONDITIONS WITH WIDESPREAD RAIN THAT LINGERS INTO THURSDAY. A
SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL PROLONG THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AS OF 830 PM EDT TUESDAY...

INCREASED FIRE DANGER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON
ACROSS NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA.

DESPITE LIGHT RAIN THIS EVENING...ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DRY 10-HR FUEL MOISTURES ON TUESDAY. ALONG
WITH LOWER RH VALUES...FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE ON THE INCREASE
ONCE AGAIN. AFTER COORDINATION WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES AND THE
NORTH CAROLINA FOREST SERVICE (NCFS)...AN ENHANCED FIRE DANGER
STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUE FOR TUESDAY ACROSS NORTHERN NORTH
CAROLINA.
