Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 1:33 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
133 PM EDT Mon Apr 24 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Wet weather will persist into Tuesday, as a slow moving area of
Low Pressure moves from the southern Appalachians to along the
South Carolina coast by Tuesday morning.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS of 1030 AM EDT Monday...
Flood watch remain in effect until 8 pm this evening for much of
the forecast area.
Upper low over the southern Appalachians this morning
is slowly moving to southeast and will push of the South
Carolina coast by daybreak Tuesday.
Flooding continues in western portions of Flood watch this
morning, but the good news is that the rain has ended or is
lighter. For this morning, the heaviest rain is located east of
the Blue ridge mountains. Watching on latest radars, convection
to our south lift north. The HRRR and NAM are pushing moisture
northwestward this afternoon into tonight. With a deep southeast to
easterly fetch of moisture into our forecast area, expected
periods of rain to continue in the east. The rain will be heavy
at times. While in the west, rain amounts will be lighter.
Adjusted temperatures with latest surface obs and trended the
late morning into this afternoon towards cooler GLAMP. With
clouds and rain, expected little temperatures changes today.
Adjusted pops and weather for latest radar trends this morning.
Trimmed backed pops and intensities of rain in the west. More
changes later this morning...
Previous discussion...
As of 400 AM EDT Monday...
No changes to the flood watch, with still some model differences
in placement of highest rainfall threat.No change to Near Term
Forecast. Rain...Heavy at times pretty much sums it up.
Upper low over the southern Appalachians has ground to a halt,
showing only little movement the last 12 hours and is forecast
to move very little today per being cut-off from the mean upper
level flow. Overall projection is for this feature to drift ever
so slowly to the South Carolina coast by daybreak Tuesday. This
will maintain a deep southeast to easterly fetch of moisture
into our forecast area resulting in a persistent rain with
periods of heavy rain. As such will maintain the Flood Watch for
most of our forecast area along and east of the VA/WV border
and into NC.
As the rainfall continues to add up, expect streams to respond
with small stream flood warnings morphing into larger scale
river flood warnings. River Forecast Centers will be doing a lot
of number crunching this morning, so watch for revised river
forecasts and warning headlines.
Rainfall today is expected to be the heaviest along and east of
the Blue Ridge where the southeast upslope wind component will
add orographic lift. Additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is
likely (in some cases on top of the 2 to 4 inches that has
already occured). Heaviest rain thus far has been along and just
west of I-77 from Tazewell and Marion VA, south into Sparta and
Wilkesboro NC. Focus today is expected to shift farther
northeast into the headwaters of the Dan and Roanoke River
basins.
Temperatures today and tonight will change very little, cool
northeast to easterly low level wind persisting until the low
drifts off the coast Tuesday.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 400 AM EDT Monday...
We'll have one more day of cloudy and rainy/showery conditions on
Tuesday. However, trend will be toward above-normal, more springlike
temperatures looking ahead into the midweek period.
Slow-moving, vertically-stacked cyclone should be roughly centered
over the coastal NC/SC border based on general consensus reflected
in 21z SREF mean/00z global model progs. Little significant change
noted in the projected evolution of the cyclone, that being
deamplificaton and gradual northeastward progress. Moisture plume on
the eastern periphery of the cyclone, associated with PWAT values of
up to 1.3" will continue to be drawn back westward, supporting a
continued period of rain particularly for the central Virginia
Piedmont and into the Southside of Virginia. Weak/nebulous forcing
elsewhere across the CWA supports periods of light showers mainly
during the first half of the day. As upper level low approaches the
Chesapeake Bay and deeper moisture plume is shunted
eastward/northeastward later in the day, PoPs then begin a taper to
slight chance/lower Chance range areawide. An additional tenth to
two-tenths of an inch of rain are possible in central Virginia
associated with the most persistent rain band tapering to a few
hundreths from the Blue Ridge foothills west. Thus a continued wet
outlook but the steadiest and heaviest rains will have since ended.
Aside from southeast West Virginia into western Smyth and Tazewell
Counties in Virginia where at least some partial clearing is
anticipated toward afternoon, for many it will continue to be
another relatively dreary day with highs only in the 60s. Greater
clearing anticipated on Tuesday evening with some radiational
cooling under clearing skies in the upper 40s to mid 50s.
Trend toward warmer temperatures remains on track starting Wednesday
with building 500 mb heights and mostly sunny skies. Our 850 mb
temperatures steadily rise Wednesday into Wednesday night to values
around +14 to +16C. Much milder temperatures well into the 70s to
low 80s anticipated for Wednesday, with lows Wednesday evening into
the low 50s to around 60. These are some 10 to 15 degrees milder
than 1980-2010 climatological normals.
For Thursday, focus shifts to large-scale troughing evolving across
the central Plains states and the ejection of a deamplifying mid-
level trough embedded in deep south-southwest flow, its associated
surface cold front expected to move from the Ohio Valley to the
foothills of the western Appalachians Thursday. I'm hesitant to
introduce slight to low Chance PoPs any earlier than Thursday
afternoon given the amplified southerly mid-level flow that may act
to slow the cold front down than currently depicted in most model
guidance, and we also are capped to any convection out ahead of
this. Generally expect mostly sunny skies through much of the day,
albeit with increasing cloudiness later in the day toward Thursday
evening. Even warmer conditions anticipated on Thursday; aside from
the higher elevations, many areas stand a good shot at reaching the
low to mid 80s particularly east where clouds will be slower to
advance. These are a couple degrees cooler than MEX MOS guidance
which would argue for some upper 80s values in the Piedmont and
Southside.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Sunday...
500MB heights rise Friday over the southeast United States but with
an overall deepening upper trough over the central United States. A
deep closed low develops over the Rockies by the end of the week
which will keep much of the east downstream in broad southwest flow.
At the surface a low pressure system tracks into the Great Lakes.
The front with this system stalls in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys
brushing our far western counties Thursday night and early Friday.
Thereafter, differences become apparent between the 00z GFS and
ECMWF on how far north and east a warm front associated with the
next developing Plains system extends. Generally maintained
continuity with prior forecast for the upcoming weekend until these
details can be better agreed upon. In any event, temperatures
appear to remain above normal.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 130 PM EDT Monday...
Poor Flying conditions will continue through the taf period.
Low ceilings predominantly into the IFR to MVFR range will
continue tonight into Tuesday. Isolated patches of LIFR
are possible with heavier rain bands especially east of the Blue
ridge mountains. Some minor improvements in ceilings are
possible in the west at KLWB. However, significant improvement
in ceilings are not anticipated until later Tuesday morning.
Periods of rain, heavy at times with MVFR visibilities, will
continue to spiral north- northeast. Coverage and intensity of
rain should begin to diminish to a VFR visibility by tonight
into Tuesday. Winds will generally be northeast at 4-8 kts. By
tonight, strong northeasterly low- level jet combined with
inversion from persistent wedge will lead to low- level wind
shear at several western terminals overnight. Look for gradual
improvement in conditions from west to east Tuesday.
Medium confidence in Ceilings, visibilities and winds during the
Taf period.
Extended Aviation Discussion...
Better flying wx are expected for midweek, though another front
may bring scattered MVFR showers/storms toward late Thursday in
the mountains. Drier weather will return for Friday and Saturday.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
As of 300 PM EDT Sunday...
No changes to the flood watch, with still some model differences
in placement of highest rainfall threat. High-res models and
analogs along with pattern recognition favor the southern Blue
Ridge from Roanoke to Boone, east to the piedmont of VA/NC as
those areas which appear to be in line to receive 2-3" through
early Tuesday. This amount of rain combined with the 1 to 2+
inches that has already fallen since Friday should lead to hydro
issues on rivers, as well as smaller creeks and streams.
Looking at the analogs this pattern favors April 5th, 1993, and
March 27th, 1993 which produced some minor to moderate flooding
along portions of the Dan and Roanoke River mainly downstream of
Danville and Altavista. Still will have to see how this sets up
as we had been dry prior to this event.
WPC has kept the risk of excessive rainfall along the Blue
Ridge. Deep convection seems limited, thereby will have to rely
on upslope component to enhance rainfall rates.
Saturated ground may also result in downed trees and rock or
mud slides.
