Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
401 PM EDT Sat Aug 6 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front extends from eastern Pennsylvania to central
Kentucky. This front will drift south tonight, stalling over, or
just to the south of the region on Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 400 PM EDT Saturday...

Summertime upper level ridge covers the southern one half of the
CONUS with a compact 500 mb trough near the Pacific NW coast and
broad cyclonic flow over the Great Lakes and into New England.
Weak surface cold front was stretched from New England, southwest
through the lower Ohio Valley along the southern periphery of the
faster westerly flow aloft associated with the broad cyclone to
the north. Little in the way of dynamic support was associated
with the weak front with the exception for the New England portion
of front where an embedded perturbation aloft will provide
enhanced lift. Southern part of the front has been relying mainly
on daytime heating and thermodynamic support to drive deep
convection closer to the frontal boundary.

For our forecast area, the surface front will be approaching from
the north, coverage of showers and thunderstorms increasing as the
evening progresses. MLCAPE close to 2000 j/kg and DCAPE values of
700 to 1000 will likely drive some strong thunderstorms through at
least sunset. Cloud layer mean wind forecast is from 300 deg at
15 to 20 mph...so the added DCAPE would likely result is some
respectable thunderstorm outflow surface gusts of double those
wind values. An isolated pulse severe storm can't be ruled out,
but with lack of upper level dynamic support, there does not
appear to be an organized threat.

Models gradually bring front through southern WV/VA during the
overnight...winds becoming northerly on the back side of the
front. Convergence along the front will likely result in lingering
convection across the southern forecast area through the overnight
but diminishing in intensity with time. Clouds will also linger,
temperatures remaining mild, although some infiltration of dryer
air north of Interstate 64 may allow for cooler readings farther
north.

On Sunday, the surface front is progged to stall, along or just
south of the VA/NC border. Some drier air will push into northern
portions of the forecast area, but will have trouble making
inroads into this subtropical airmass. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms will once again develop along the frontal zone Sunday
afternoon, although expectation is for the greatest coverage to be
across our southern CWA as opposed to the north. Temperatures
will be more subdued (highs 70s mountains to lower 80s piedmont)
per cloud cover which will likely be pretty extensive across the
southern Appalachians along the frontal zone.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 PM EDT Saturday...

A shallow upper trof over the northeast US will give way to building
heights as a ridge amplifies over the eastern third of the country.
This will allow surface high pressure over the Great Lakes to more
eastward and briefly wedge down the east side of the Appalachians into
the first part of next week. This will also act to squeeze the
lingering frontal boundary over the region, and pieces of energy and
some moisture from a tropical circulation along the Gulf Coast become
entrained in the synoptic circulation over our region. This is trending
guidance in a wetter direction and will bring an enhanced chance for
showers/storms to our forecast for Sunday night through Monday, but
expect developing southeasterly flow to create some downsloping
conditions far west so will trim POPs accordingly. As the surface high
continues to slide eastward on Tuesday the flow will become more
southeasterly and should help confine the better for precipitation more
to the southern Blue Ridge. The airmass will remain very moist through
the period and there may be potential for some hydro issues due to
locally excessive rainfall mainly Sunday night into Monday. With
wedgelike conditions expect high temperatures to generally be well
below normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Saturday...

A broad, flat upper level ridge will be in place through the middle of
next week with a surface Bermuda high established off the coast. This
will keep a southerly flow of warm and moisture air coming into the
region. Overall synoptic forcing is weak but diurnal heating in the
unstable warm and moist airmass will help showers/storms bubble up
especially from the Blue Ridge westward. By the end of the week a
shallow trof will be moving through the Great Lakes region as a weak
surface boundary pushes in our direction from the northwest. Energy and
some additional moisture from a remnant tropical circulation also looks
to get absorbed into the synoptic flow as it shifts to a more
southwesterly direction ahead of the trof. This will enhance our
precipitation chances and aerial coverage of showers/storms as we head
into the weekend. Expect seasonally warm temperatures through the
period.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Saturday...

Surface front extends from central PA to northern KY. Scattered to
numerous showers are expected along the front as it moves into
WV/VA this afternoon and evening. Embedded thunderstorms are also
possible with isold surface gusts of 30-40 mph. The general wind
flow ahead of the front is out of the west, with northerly winds
on the back side of the front. A wind shift is expected from west
to the north as the front moves across the forecast area tonight.

Conditions will primarily be VFR this afternoon, then trend lower
as frontal showers move through during the evening. Loss of
daytime heating will bring an end to the shower threat after
midnight, but but do expect patchy fog and stratus to develop.

It is unclear at this time as to how much sub-VFR sort of weather
conditions will linger on Sunday. This will depend on how much dry
air can infiltrate from the north. Model consensus is for the
front to stall over the Carolinas with the low level flow becoming
easterly later Sunday into Monday. If this turns out to be the
case, then clouds will linger with the potential for MVFR or even
IFR conditions due to cigs as we transition into the first part of
the week. Proximity of the front will also determine precipitation
coverage...with greatest coverage of showers expected over the
Carolinas and southern Appalachians Sunday into Monday.

Extended aviation discussion...

An unsettled week is expected with southeast wind flow resulting
in low clouds and occasional showers through Thursday. MVFR cigs
will likely persist through Thursday with potential for IFR
conditions at night.
