FLOOD WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1108 AM EDT Thu Oct 11 2018
...The National Weather Service Blacksburg Va has issued
a Flood Warning for the following rivers in North Carolina...
Virginia...
Dan River Near Wentworth affecting Rockingham County
Dan River near Danville affecting Caswell...Rockingham...City of
Danville and Pittsylvania Counties
Dan River at Paces affecting Halifax County
Dan River at South Boston affecting Halifax County
Rainfall from the remains of Hurricane Michael will bring an
intense period of heavy rain to much of the Dan River basin today
and early tonight with forecast rains of 2 to 5 inches and
locally higher amounts in about 12 hours. If this rainfall
occurs as forecast expect flooding along the entire
Dan River but the worst will be in the lower reaches of the
river from Danville downstream to South Boston.
With a forecast still based mostly on forecast versus observed
rainfall it is important not to focus solely on the exact crest
number but to expect variations of possibly 1 to 3 feet from
what is currently forecast.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Do not drive through flooded areas...the water may be much deeper
than you think.
Listen to noaa weather radio or your favorite media outlet for later
statements or warnings.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 11, 10:49 AM EDT, 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
1049 AM EDT Thu Oct 11 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Michael will move across the central Carolinas
today then off the Virginia coast tonight. Cooler high pressure
builds in to start the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1045 AM EDT Thursday...
Based on reports of trees already being toppled due to the
onset of winds across the ridges will go ahead and start the
wind headline products now. This also includes an upgrade to a
high wind warning across a few southwest counties with an
advisory over the remainder of the region into early Friday.
Some short term models really ramp up the winds on back of
Michael this afternoon as the front interacts so expecting a
jump in speeds soon. No other changes for now.
Previous update as of 1000 AM EDT Thursday...
Heaviest rainfall continues across the western sections associated
with banding to the north of Michael and within convergence
into the surface cold front now along the Appalachians. Latest
short term models gradually shift bands east as the front to the
west also starts to undercut via winds becoming more north to
northwest from west to east this afternoon. This should act to
decrease rainfall rates over the mountains early this afternoon
while heavier rain heads into the piedmont sections before
exiting by sunset. However given efficiency of the tropical
rainfall, bumped up QPF amounts over the west to start and a bit
over the southeast where guidance shows a period of stronger
lift before deeper moisture exits. Other concern could be with
isolated spinup tors far southeast pending the degree of any
heating and given appearance of lightning in spots added more
thunder mention southeast. Otherwise winds remain elevated and
given that are not seeing much mix down will keep the wind
advisory timing going for this afternoon with adjustments likely
needed later to cover the post Michael gustiness. Left temps
close to previous with only a slow rise into the 70s expected.
Also tornado watch 409 until 9 pm just issued for a few eastern
counties.
Previous discussion as of 300 AM EDT Thursday..
High confidence forecast for flooding and wind threat.
Looking at another busy day as TS Michael tracks from eastern GA to
central NC by mid afternoon, then off the VA Tidewater by midnight.
We currently are in a holding pattern in terms of moderate to heavy
rainfall, although scattered showers are still moving from south to
north across the forecast area, especially over the
mountains/adjacent foothills.
Regional radar showing northern edge of rain band with Michael
pushing into Southwest NC. There is also a ribbon of rainfall from
eastern Ohio south into the Smokies associated with a front.
Higher-resolution models showing the moderate to heavier bands from
Michael reaching our NC mountains by 6am, then progressing northeast
into southern VA by mid morning, while frontal forcing moves a band
of showers into the WV mountains by mid-late morning as well.
Tropical moisture/higher PWATs stay along/east of the Blue Ridge,
and per coordination with WPC will see higher rainfall set up
along/east of the Blue Ridge with another 2 to 5+ inches expected
today into this evening, with the higher amounts in southside VA
into the NC piedmont. West of the Blue Ridge amounts will stay
mostly under 2 inches. Given where it rained hardest yesterday with
flooding, will keep the flash flood watches in the mountains to
account for the fact that not much rain will likely lead to more
flooding.
We will see the rain shield exit the mountains by mid-late afternoon
and the piedmont this evening.
Winds though sub-tropical storm force will gust as high as 40
mph at times today across the southern half of the CWA. With wet
ground it will not take as much wind to down trees, and thus
possibly create issues with power outages. Therefore, wind
advisories have been posted for the southern half of the CWA for
this afternoon into Friday morning. Post storm gradient and
pressure rises will keep winds gusty into Friday morning along
the Blue Ridge.
Another issue to watch later this morning into the afternoon will be
for isolated spin-up tornadoes. SPC has a marginal risk in the
piedmont but confidence is low, per lack of decent banding features
so far. However, not out of the question to see some, as models
depict 200-300 SRH in the 0-2km layer pushing across the NC piedmont
into southside VA by 18z, then weakening after 21z. Will highlight
this in the HWO.
As we head through the night tonight, dewpoints will drop off into
the 40s. You will definitely notice a change when you head out the
door Friday morning.
As for temps did not go too warm today given clouds and rain, so
basically tacked on 5-8 degrees to lows this morning with highs
ranging from the mid 60s to around 70 in the west, to mid to upper
70s.
Expect cooler lows tonight, with 40s in the mountain to 50s east.
Wet ground and mixing may keep temps from falling as far as they
could.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 AM EDT Thursday...
Remnants of Hurricane Michael will be tracking off the northeast
coast while high pressure covers the forecast area. Cooler drier air
will grace the area as Friday's highs will range from the upper 50s
to lower 60s across the mountains to the upper 60s to lower 70s east
of the Blue Ridge.
A northern stream disturbance will track across the Ohio Valley
Friday night into Saturday morning. This system will bring a chance
for showers, mainly across southeastern West Virginia. A cold front
will follow this disturbance keeping temperatures cool with
Saturday's highs in the 50s across the mountains to 60s east. High
pressure will bring a re-enforcing shot of cooler air Saturday night
with a few mountain locations dropping into the 30s.
&&
.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 /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 130 AM EDT Thursday...
Looking at poor flying conditions through at least late
afternoonuntil TS Michael and attendant front move across.
Heavier rain bands moving up from NC into southwest VA will
overspread much of the region through the morning.
Winds will pick up from the east to northeast, then shift to the
northwest this afternoon. Some gusts 30 to 35 kts possible near
DAN this afternoon.
As we head toward 00z, will start to see drying out from the
southwest to northeast and expect all taf sites to improve to
VFR.
Confidence is above average for sub-VFR most of the period, but
lower how strong winds are and clearing to VFR.
Extended Discussion...
Strong northwest winds will be common Friday morning in the
mountains in the wake of Michael along with areas of mountain
turbulence.
VFR on Friday along with diminishing winds Friday night.
Generally VFR anticipated over the weekend. Another front
arrives Monday with possible sub-VFR cigs/vsbys with showers.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
As of 450 AM Thursday...
3 to 7 inches of rain fell across upper portions of the New
River basin Wednesday afternoon/evening. As Michael moves in
with another 1 to 3 inches of rain in this basin, plus 2 to 6
inches across the Dan River, some river flooding is possible.
In the near term, convective elements with tropical moisture
with PWATS at records highs (as 06z sounding showing 1.88" at
RNK and normally we should be at 0.69" for October 11th), will
lead to flash flooding threat over the southern half of the
forecast area.
As we work into the afternoon and after the rain ends, main stem
rivers will already be responding. Some minor flooding, possibly
moderate flooding along the New River and Dan River is likely.
As for other rivers, such as the Yadkin and Roanoke, will see
how much occurs in the headwaters and downstream and gage that
later this morning for flood potential.
