Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
339 PM EDT Sat Jul 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will drift east to the Upper Ohio Valley by and into
Pennsylvania Sunday evening. A cold front with this feature will
move to the Central Appalachians by Sunday night. Monday into
Wednesday the low will be offshore with the front extending into
the Carolinas.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 325 PM EDT Saturday...

Mesoanalysis this afternoon showing best moisture convergence along a
line from near Raleigh north toward the Shenandoah Valley. Radar
showing scattered showers and storms across the Blue Ridge from the
NC foothills northeast toward Amherst and more isolated west.

As we head into the evening, models are favoring the piedmont with
more coverage which is in step with sfc analysis. Still looking at
high chance pops north and northeast to lower in the south and
southwest. There is some upper level energy back over middle TN this
afternoon that slowly moves east toward the mountains late tonight.
So for now will have some break in the showers and storms after
midnight then increase pops from the southwest toward morning though
the coverage may lessen given time of day being unfavorable.

Sunday, the main belt of westerlies stays over the northern CWA with
a lee trough developing at the sfc over the Piedmont. Nothing really
to latch onto but watching upper impulses and timing them. Models
are favoring a better threat of storms along/near the Blue Ridge
Sunday afternoon spreading east to southeast to the piedmont. Will
have pops in the high chance to low likely range by late afternoon.

Lows tonight will range from the mid 60s west to lower 70s east,
then rise to the lower 80s west for highs Sunday to around 90 east.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
as of 300 PM EDT Saturday...

Low amplitude trough will continue to affect the eastern CONUS from
the Great Lakes into New England over the next few days. Several
spokes of short-wave energy will be rotating through this trough in
a fairly chaotic fashion with various model solutions as to strength
and timing. Models agree that an associated frontal boundary will be
dropping southeast across the forecast area Sunday night into
Monday. Not expecting much in the way of sensible weather with this
feature but may become a focus for showers and thunderstorms later
in the day Monday as heating/destabilization takes place with the
best chances for convection focused across the southern sections of
the CWA. Slightly drier and cooler air will filter southward behind
this front with highs Monday about normal for the first day of
August. Tuesday looks to be mostly dry as the front is to our south
and high pressure over located over the northern mid-Atlantic will
provide weak northerly flow at the surface. Still maintained slight
chance pops with diurnal heating cycle but not expecting much
activity. Highs again near early August climo although slightly
drier air should make it a tad more pleasant.
&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM EST Saturday...

Surface high will drift slowly northeast Wed-Thu as upper heights
begin to rise again. The boundary over the Carolinas will more or
less undergo frontolysis by Thursday leaving most of the mid-
Atlantic region back in a familiar pattern; daily thunderstorm
chances and near seasonable warm and humid conditions. Mesoscale
features and subtle short-waves will regulate the favored areas for
convection within the diurnal heating cycle unless a stronger short-
wave is able to maintain overnight activity but not really possible
to pin down anything at this longer range. We remain near the summer
climatological maxima for temps but the slow downward trend will
commence only a few days after this extended forecast period ends.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 135 PM EDT Saturday...

Keeping similar to previous forecast except only tempo group for
thunderstorms will be LYH, while VCTS remains elsewhere.
Confidence high that storms will be scattered through the early
evening but lower on if/when airports get anything overhead.

Going into tonight look for storms to weaken and end overnight but
cannot rule an isolated shower. Looking at fog potential at most
sites, but more likely LWB/BCB where IFR vsbys to LIFR expected.

After fog/stratus burns off 14z looking at VFR through 18z, with m
more storms developing around or after 18z Sunday.

Extended aviation discussion...

The region will remain in an active weather pattern into early
next week. A nearly stationary frontal boundary will be across or
near the region, all while a series of upper level disturbances
moves along this feature through the area. By Wednesday the front
may move south of the region enough to take the focus for
additional showers and storms with it. VFR conditions are expected
for most of the time. The exception will be temporary sub-VFR
conditions under the heavier showers or thunderstorms, and during
the night with patchy light fog and stratus cloud development over
parts of the region.
