AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1211 AM EST THU JAN 21 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE FAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING INTO
TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM MAY BRING LIGHT SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS
ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH TONIGHT. BRIEF DRYING LOOKS TO
ARRIVE ON THURSDAY UNDER WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEFORE A STRONG WINTER
STORM AFFECTS THE AREA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 1100 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

CANCELLED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THIS EVENING IN
COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES. FAST MOVING CLIPPER
EXITED THE REGION TO THE EAST AROUND SUNSET. ANY ADDITIONAL SNOW
OVERNIGHT WILL BE CONFINED PRIMARILY TO WESTERN UPSLOPE AREAS AND
MAINLY JUST FLURRIES AT BEST. WILL ISSUE AN SPS TO HIGHLIGHT
POTENTIAL FOR POTENTIAL REMAINING ICE AND/OR SNOW ON ROADS AND
HIGHWAYS AS MOST AREAS RECEIVED AT LEAST 1/2 INCH OF SNOW WITH THE
SYSTEM TODAY. FOCUS OF ATTENTION NOW TURNS TO THE MAJOR SNOW STORM
EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN JUST A LITTLE OVER 24 HOURS NOW. STILL LOOKS
LIKE HEAVY SNOW SPREADING ACROSS THE REGION FROM SW TO NW
BEGINNING IN THE HOURS SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TOMORROW
NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING. NO CHANGES MADE OR NEEDED AT THIS TIME TO
THAT PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

ADJUSTED POPS DOWNWARD THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING AND
MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO T/TD/SKY COVER GRIDS.

AS OF 354 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR
CLIPPER SYSTEM.

WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT FOR WINTER STORM.

A FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE SLIDES EASTWARD AND CROSSES
THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. INCREASING WESTERLY JET
ALOFT SHOULD ACT TO ENHANCE CONVERGENCE ESPECIALLY WESTERN SLOPES
BEFORE LIFT WEAKENS UPON CROSSING THE RIDGES THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. THE HRRR...HIRESW-ARW-EAST...NAM...ECMWF AND GFS SUPPORT
SOME LIGHT SNOW SNEAKING OUT ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE AND INTO THE EAST.
OUR RNK WRF-ARW WAS LESS IMPRESSED FOR THE SNOW IN THE EAST AFTER
22Z. OVERALL APPEARS SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE FROM ONLY A
COATING/HALF INCH IN THE EAST...TO UP TO AN INCH BLUE RIDGE...TO
2-3 INCHES IN THE FAR WEST. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES ACROSS THE
EAST ARE IMPACT BASED BECAUSE OF THE TIME OF DAY (ENCOMPASSING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING RUSH HOUR) AND THE CONCERN GIVEN POSSIBLE
COMPACTION AND MELTING/REFREEZING OF ANY SNOWFALL...CREATING THE
RISK OF TREACHEROUS TRAVEL INTO TONIGHT.

SHORTWAVE EXITS THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT GIVING WAY TO WEAK
SHORTWAVE RIDGING AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SLIDING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST LATE. LOOKS LIKE MOST ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD END DURING
THE EVENING WITH PERHAPS ANOTHER HALF INCH OR SO ALONG WESTERN
SLOPES WHERE LINGERING UPSLOPE WILL KEEP A FEW SNOW SHOWERS AND SNOW
FLURRIES LINGERING TONIGHT. THERE IS A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY
FREEZING DRIZZLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE. SOME CLEARING EXPECTED IN THE EAST
WHILE LOW CLOUDS MAY HOLD LONGER IN THE WEST. LOW TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TEENS IN THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS TO
THE MID 20S IN THE PIEDMONT. A DEEPER SNOW PACK MAY RESULT IN COLDER
LOW TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT.

ANY LINGERING SNOW FLURRIES ALONG THE FAR WESTERN SLOPES WILL
DISSIPATE THURSDAY MORNING AS 1027 MB HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY. HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY WILL WARM INTO THE UPPER
20S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 40S IN THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 356 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF ALONG WITH OTHER GUIDANCE ARE CLOSER TO A
COMMON SOLUTION WITH THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC EVOLUTION OF THE UPCOMING
WINTER STORM. ARRIVAL TIME OF PRECIPITATION RANGES FROM AROUND
06Z/1AM IN THE EXTREME SOUTHWEST COUNTY WARNING AREA TO AROUND
15Z/10AM IN THE FAR NORTHEAST.

WILL BEGIN AS A MIX ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTY WARNING AREA THEN AS
RATES AND INTENSITY OF PRECIPITATION INCREASES BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON
AND COOLING AT THE LOWER LAYERS AS THE AIR MASS SATURATES...
PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
BY SATURDAY MORNING AS THE DEFORMATION AREA PIVOTS AND THE BEST
UPSLOPE BEGINS TO SHIFT TO THE NORTH...THE THREAT OF ANY MIXED
PRECIPITATION WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED. TOTAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
IN GENERAL WERE TRENDING TOWARD HIGHER LIQUID EQUIVALENT QPF BUT
IMPACT OF THE DRY SLOT THAT MAY CROSS THE EASTERN COUNTY WARNING
AREA ON FRIDAY NIGHT MAY ALSO CAP AMOUNTS.

AT THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVES OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
THURSDAY NIGHT...THEN INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY FRIDAY. THE EASTERN
COAST LOW TAKES OVER AS THE PRIMARY LOW AROUND 00Z SAT/7PM FRIDAY.
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS FROM BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SUPPORT SNOW. SLEET WILL
BE MIXED IN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTY WARNING AREA. ONLY DANVILLE
AND GREENSBORO BUFKIT SHOWED A DECENT POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN.
SHIFTED THE BEST CHANCE OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN SLIGHTLY SOUTH
COMPARED TO TUESDAY NIGHT PACKAGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM EST WEDNESDAY...

AFTER A BREEZY MORNING SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
REGION INTO MONDAY. THIS RIDGE WILL MOVE OFF THE SOUTHEAST
COAST...ALLOWING A DISTURBANCE TO TRACK ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE OHIO
DISTURBANCE...WILL STALL NEAR THE AREA. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THE FRONT
STALLS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC OR OVER THE
CAROLINAS. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL
US ON WEDNESDAY...DRIVING A SERIES OF GULF DISTURBANCES ALONG THE
STALLED FRONT AND OVER THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. IF
THE FRONT STALLS NORTH OF THE AREA...P-TYPE WILL BE RAIN. IF IT
STALLS TO THE SOUTH...A RAIN/SNOW MIX IS POSSIBLE. WITH UNCERTAINTY
RUNNING HIGH...WILL ONLY CARRY CHANCE POPS WITH NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1200 AM EST THURSDAY...

CLIPPER SYSTEM HAS EXITED THE AREA. GUSTY WEST WINDS AND UPSLOPE
LOW CLOUDS WILL PREVAIL WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE OVERNIGHT IN ITS
WAKE...BUT THE SNOW HAS ENDED FOR THIS EVENT. CIGS WILL REMAIN

EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE TOWARD DAYBREAK. WINDS W-WNW 8-10KTS WITH
