Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
319 PM EDT Sat Oct 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move east through the Mid Atlantic region
tonight as Hurricane Matthew moves northeast along the Carolina
coast. High pressure will build in Sunday and remain over the much
of the eastern  United States through Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 319 PM EDT Saturday...

At 2 pm this afternoon, Hurricane Matthew was near Myrtle
Beach,South Carolina and moving northeast around 12 mph. The center
of Matthew will continue to move near or over the coast of South
Carolina this afternoon, and be near the coast of southern North
Carolina by this evening into tonight. The NHC track still has the
hurricane turning right tonight into Sunday morning. The track is
close to 00z UKMET through 00z Monday. The other main feature in our
forecast is the cold front near in the western mountains this
afternoon. The cold front will move east across our region tonight
into Sunday.

The northwest area of moderate to heavy rain associated with
Hurricane Matthew continue to push northward into the foothills and
Piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. In general, slowed down the
eastern progression of Precipitation tonight. Adjusted pops with
a slower arrival of drier air tonight. Increased qpf for
this afternoon into tonight, especially in the southeast corner. Warm
rain processes will produce locally heavy rains in this tropical
airmass. At this time it appears any flooding coverage will not be
enough for any flood watch with matthew pushes east tonight.

850MB winds increase from the north into the 40 to 50 knot range
tonight. Expecting the gusty winds to become more common at higher
elevations behind the front late tonight. Wind gusts rise close to
advisory criteria at the highest elevations along the southern Blue
Ridge. Low temperatures tonight will range from near 40 degrees in
the northwest mountains to the mid 50s in the Piedmont.  Matthew
will moving away from the region on Sunday as low amplitude ridging
builds over the East. There will be a very tight pressure gradient
between departing Matthew and the large high moving in from the
west. This will generate very windy conditions, especially at the
higher elevations from the mountains of NC into the southern Blue
Ridge Sunday. High temperatures Sunday will vary from the mid 50s
in the northwest mountains to the lower 70s in the Piedmont.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 319 PM EDT Saturday...

No precipitation is expected this period as high pressure builds
in behind Matthew Sunday night into Monday. Some limited wind
gusts Sunday night between the departing Matthew and the high over
the Ohio Valley. Monday the high is expected to head over New
England wedging southwest to our area. Airmass looks dry so this
wedge will favor sunny skies with a Northeast flow. A warm front
lifts northward across the Ohio Valley Tuesday and may see some
clouds infiltrate WV/VA mountains but overall still mostly sunny.
Given weakening winds and cool high over the north, temperatures
at night should drop into the 40s, especially the mountains.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Saturday...

Building upper ridge early in the week gets shifted east and upper
flow turns more progressive mid-late week. A front is expected to
push across Thursday but is lacking moisture in a westerly flow, so
little threat of rain showers, but cannot rule out an stray shower
in the mountains Thursday. High pressure works in behind this front
Friday into Saturday, with temperatures close to seasonal norms or
just above for lows in the west.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 142 PM EDT Saturday...

Poor flying conditions this afternoon into Sunday with Hurricane
Matthew lift northward along the Southeast coast and cold front
traveling east. Matthew is forecasted to move northeast and weaken
this evening into tonight,then east-northeast turn out into
the Atlantic ocean tonight into Sunday. Northwest edge of
rain shield associated with Matthew continue to push into
southeast portions of forecast area including KDAN and KLYH.
Western showers and rain diminishing this afternoon into this
evening. Timing of rain and frontal boundary looks a little
slower. High confidence that the rain may not end at KDAN until
after 00Z.

Widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings will remain in place until the
hurricane moves farther north and the cold front in the Ohio
Valley crosses the Mid-Atlantic region tonight. Decent agreement
in the models that ceilings would begin to lift tonight,
generally from west to east with conditions improving to VFR after
00Z/8PM.

Winds will increase in the afternoon and overnight in the
foothills and piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. Wind gusts
up to 28 knots are possible at KDAN especially after 06Z/2AM.
At this time, believe that there is too much wind to entertain
any fog in the western valleys tonight. Boundary layer winds
will be from the northwest at 15 to 20 knots.

On Sunday, VFR conditions return to all taf sites. Northerly winds
will be quite gusty especially across the higher terrain.

Medium confidence in ceilings, visibilities and winds during the
taf period.

Extended aviation discussion...

For Sunday night through Wednesday, models are keeping the area
mainly dry, although this is subject to change pending the track
of Matthew. Most models have Matthew circling off the southeast
coast through the middle of next week. For the latest storm track
forecast see the latest NHC Advisory for Matthew.
