Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
924 PM EDT Wed Oct 10 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
Wet weather is expected tonight and especially Thursday as Hurricane
Michael moves through the southeast U.S. A cold front will cross the
area by Thursday evening and shift Michael well offshore. A period
of gusty northwest winds is expected in the mountains and foothills
Thursday afternoon and evening. Cooler high pressure builds in to
start the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 830 PM EDT Wednesday...
Impressive surge of pre-heavy rains into the forecast area, and
not associated with Michael. Current tropical connection is to a
stream of moisture off the southeast Atlantic Coast, remnants
of an old upper low that got sheared out under the subtropical
ridge by way of the Bahamas. Never the less this has resulted in
excessive rainfall for parts of northwest North Carolina into
southwestern Virginia near Galax and Hillsville and western
Pulaski County with upwards of 5 inches of rain. There have been
numerous reports of stream flooding and road closures, in
addition to a landslide near North Wilkesboro North Carolina.
This particular area of heavy rain is beginning to wane,
however, concern now is that we have now "primed the pump" for
what could turn out to be a life threatening flash flood
situation for areas which will now experience more heavy rain
from the remnants of Hurricane Michael during the day Thursday.
In addition, some of the larger Rivers, particularly the New
River will have to digest some of this initial rain runoff with
forecasts likely to be much higher than forecast. The River
Forecast Center is scrambling to assess the situation and a new
forecast for Galax and Radford are forthcoming.
As we progress through the night, expectation is for there to be
a break in the heavy rain as we await the heavy rain associated
with Michael's closest approach.
For the latest on Michael's intensity and forecast track
information, please refer to the latest advisories from the National
Hurricane Center. Michael is forecast to essentially track
northeast through Georgia overnight then into the Carolinas
and southern VA Thursday, its northeast turn aided by a strong
cold front which is now working its way through the Mississippi
River Valley. Michael's interaction with this cold front is
expected to lead to an expected westward spatial expansion of
Michael's heavy rain shield Thursday, and this has essentially
played out in today's 12z NWP guidance. Expected local impacts
for the region include the following:
(1) Heavy rain, potential flash flooding and rises along smaller
streams and creeks to mainstem rivers. Heaviest rains should occur
through Thursday before clearing west-east Thursday late afternoon
into Thursday evening in the east.
(2) Post-Michael gusty to potentially damaging northwest winds
Thursday afternoon into early morning Friday from the Blue Ridge,
the immediate foothills counties and back westward to include the I-
81 corridor.
Heavy rains should begin to progress northeastward starting earliest
in the mountains of NW NC and the mountain empire around early
Thursday morning, and then continue north and northeast the NC/VA
Piedmont, Southside starting Thursday mid-morning and continuing
into central VA by late morning. Area averaged rain forecast (in
addition to what fell Wednesday evening) ranges from an inch to
inch and a quarter in southeast WV and Tazewell County, 1.5-2
inches across the I-81 corridor into central VA, and then 2 to 5
inches across the southern Blue Ridge, the NC
Piedmont/foothills and into Southside. These values closely
resemble WPC's latest rain outlook...which has now expanded the
potential for excessive rainfall farther north and west due to
the pre-Michael Wednesday evening rain deluge. Localized
higher amounts are still possible, particularly just northwest
of the center of Michael's center track. Overall confidence on
rain totals is moderate to high on where the greatest rain
totals will be observed, but is lower on exact magnitudes. See
the Hydro section for more detail.
As heavy rain begins to skirt eastward Thursday late afternoon into
early Friday, focus will then shift toward strong and gusty
northwest winds across the NC/VA mountains and into the immediate
foothills areas. Of concern is that saturated ground in conjunction
with this rain will lead to an environment which will make weak/dead
trees easier to be felled. Very strong pressure rises and north-
northwesterly 850 mb jet of 40-50 kts off the GFS will likely
support a period of 45-50 mph wind gusts Thursday late afternoon
into evening in these areas. To avoid any potential concern with
confusing messaging with what really is more of a non-tropical wind
hazard, haven't issued any wind headlines as yet in collaboration
with NWS GSP, but it's quite likely that at least impact-based wind
headlines will be needed at some point for the potential for
tree/powerline damage and hazardous travel through mountain passes
such as I-77/Fancy Gap. Have opted to message in the HWO for now.
May also need to consider such headlines for the Piedmont as well
but have highest confidence in the mountains.
Forecast confidence is overall moderate on the heavy rain and flood
threat, and is moderate to high on the post-Michael wind threat.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 PM EDT Wednesday...
Focus Friday will be on post tropical storm conditions with
rush of wind and cooler temperatures in the wake of Michael.
Primary wind flow will be out of the northwest with dewpoints
tanking into the 30s/40s as cool/dry October airmass finally
makes an entrance.
Temperatures Friday and into the weekend will resemble something
closer to the climatological norm...a change that will stun
folks into making an about-face for a jacket for outdoor
activities. Weekend as a whole looks relatively dry with a
couple of disturbances moving up through the Ohio Valley
promising to cast a few clouds and possible showers to the WV
mountains.
In general, the upper air pattern will begin to shift into a
Fall pattern, with broad troughing over the eastern 2/3rds of
the country this weekend, trending toward a much deeper long
wave trough by the middle of next week. During the transition,
first in a series of short waves will pass through the base of
the trough, the first wave being the remnants of the Pacific
Hurricane Sergio which will pass through the Ohio Valley Sunday.
The wave that follows Monday will be of Canadian origin.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 400 PM EDT Wednesday...
October finally feels like, October.
A large scale upper trough is forecast to reside over the
eastern 2/3rds of the country the entire week, amplifying by
mid-week as series of short waves digging south from Canada
resulting in a fairly extensive cold intrusion to much of the
central and eastern CONUS. Model consensus is for some
unseasonably cold air (yep summer to winter) to overtake areas
which were basking in unseasonable warmth, and in some cases
extreme enough to permit the frozen form of precipitation across
the upper Mid-West and Great Lakes into parts of New England
where 850 mb temps plunge low enough to support snow.
For the central Mid-Atlantic it will certainly feel like
October, if not favor some November sort of temperatures which
would be permissible for frost formation for parts of the
forecast area...especially the mountain valleys. Precipitation
chances appear somewhat limited, but there will be opportunities
for showers associated with each passing shortwave trough,
Monday favoring a day for showers, and then again toward mid
week. Monday might actually turn out to be a little wetter than
forecast, models trending toward some over-running associated
with a frontal passage.
&&
.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 800 PM EDT Wednesday...
Poor flying conditions generally regionwide, but especially for
the Thursday portion of the TAF as the circulation associated
with Michael makes its closest approach.
Current MVFR/IFR cigs/visbys will remain relatively stable with
periods of 2-6 SM SHRA through the overnight, some of the rain
coverage tapering off after midnight to intermittent unrestricted
showers, but lingering MVFR-IFR ceilings. Heavy rains associated
with Michael's northern circulation then begin to progress
north/northeast toward the pre-dawn hrs of Thursday morning in
the NC mountains, and then into the Virginias and eastern
Carolinas rough the rest of the day. Look for initial VFR vsbys
to decrease to MVFR-IFR most everywhere as these rain bands
move northeast, and may at times be LIFR due to very heavy rain.
Ceilings likely to be in the IFR range. In addition, while
surface winds should be east to northeast around 10 kts,
afternoon winds will increase rather sharply as Michael passes,
leading to a likely period of mechanical turbulence especially
within and just downslope of the Blue Ridge. Even after Michael
moves east and away from the area Thursday evening with rain
ending and cigs improving, pressure rises in the wake of the
system will result in wind gusts in the 20 to 30 kt range that
will likely linger into the day Friday.
Confidence is above average for sub-VFR most of the period, but
lower on timing heaviest rains Thursday and how low ceilings go
tonight into Thursday.
Extended Discussion...
Strong northwest winds will be common Thursday night and Friday
in the wake of Michael along with areas of mountain turbulence.
Conditions will improve back to VFR on Friday along with
diminishing winds Friday night. Generally VFR anticipated over
the weekend.

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 900 PM Wednesday...
An fetch of deep tropical moisture from along the southeast
Atlantic Coast has resulted excessive rainfall for parts of the
northwest Piedmont and mountains of northwest North Carolina and
into the head waters of the New River and New River Valley of
southwestern Virginia. All of Wednesday's heavy rain was in
advance of Hurricane Michael.
Hourly rates for most of the day Wednesday were less than an
inch in an hour, but spiked around sunset with some of the rain
cores jumping off the chart with rates of 4 inches an hour. This
resulted in Flash Flooding from Wilkes County NC to near Galax
Virginia and areas along the I-81 corridor west of Radford. A
large swath of this rain has fallen within the headwaters of the
New River and will likely result in a significant rise along the
NEW at Galax and Radford. Please monitor the latest forecast, as
we will be adjusting these forecasts based on the latest
guidance from the river forecast center.
Going forward, through the overnight, this first round of heavy
rain, not directly associated with Hurricane Michael, is
expected to wane, resulting in a lull in rainfall overnight.
The coverage and intensity is expected to increase again on
Thursday late morning/early afternoon with the approach of what
is expected to be (by that time) Tropical Storm Michael. Weather
forecast models are still indicating some variability in
rainfall amounts depending on the track and speed at which the
storm pushes across the Carolinas, but the most likely scenario
still indicates QPF of 2 to 5 inches across the Southside of
Virginia and the Piedmont of North Carolina, where the flash
flood watch continues, and in addition to the rain which fell
Wednesday. The highest end of this range falls in the Dan River
basin where guidance already suggests moderate flooding is the
most likely occurrence. But shifts in QPF will heavily affect
forthcoming river forecasts and both minor or major are also
possible depending on how much and where it falls. 1 to 2 inches
of rain seems most likely across the upper Roanoke, James,
Greenbrier where minor flooding may become a reality. Another 1
to 2 inches in the upper New River may would be problematic in
that it may cause more than just minor flooding. Again, modest
shifts in the rainfall pattern could substantially affect these
river forecasts, so remain attentive. And for areas which have
already received more than 4 inches of rain from Wednesday
evenings deluge, the impacts from flash flooding could be life
threatening.
