WertWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 28, 2:57 AM EST, 4 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 2:57 AM EST, 4 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
257 AM EST Fri Dec 28 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A moisture laden warm front will approach the area from the south
and cross the region this morning. A cold front will sweep
across the area this afternoon and evening bringing additional
rainfall. After only a brief break in the rain on Saturday,
another series of systems are expected to bring additional
precipitation to the area Sunday through the start of the new
year.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 255 AM EST Friday...
Flood Watches continue into this evening for mountain counties
west of the Blue Ridge and until Saturday morning for counties
along and east of the Blue Ridge. This watch mainly covers areal
flooding. Forecast river levels and rainfall amounts will be
assessed this morning to determine river flood warnings.
Periods of moderate to heavy rain will continue today as a
strong storm system tracks over the region. Going into the
afternoon, the heavy rain axis shifts east to the piedmont,
exiting by the evening.
Rainfall amounts thus far have ranged from a round an inch
across the North Carolina High Country to the Grayson Highland
and a quarter to half an inch across the rest of the mountains
and foothill counties. Less than a quarter of an inch of rain
has fallen over the piedmont. These totals are lower than
previously forecasted as convection moving across the Tennessee
Valley this afternoon fell apart moving over the wedge. There is
also convection across Georgia early this morning which is
preventing more moisture from heading north into the region. A
cold front will remove the wedge today. This front will have
ample moisture and lift to produce moderate to heavy rain with
up to an inch of additional rainfall. Since the ground is soggy,
most of the rain will be runoff and into already swollen creeks
and streams.
Winds do not appear to be overly strong, but with a soggy
ground, any wind gusts could topple trees causing power outages
as the front passes over the area this afternoon.
The wedges remain across the foothills this morning, but will
break in the afternoon. Warm air advecting in on the back side
of the rain shield will help send temperatures into the upper
50s to mid 60s today. Weak high pressure begins to build into
the area tonight with lows ranging from the upper 30s to low 40s
west of the Blue Ridge to the low to mid 40s east.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 230 AM EST Friday
By 12Z (7 AM EST) Saturday, a cold cold will be well to our
east, with gusty northwest winds in its wake with forecast
soundings showing 20-30 knot winds at the base of the low level
inversion. Pushed up winds in the forecast to reflect higher
wind gusts in the mountains. With a deep northwest/westerly
downsloping flow, temperatures on Saturday should be well above
normal east of the Blue Ridge. A blend of model guidance
generates temps around 60 for these areas.
Dry weather will continue through Sunday as high pressure
drifts off to the east. Temps on Sunday will be cooler as
1000-850mb thicknesses fall and we lose some of the downsloping
winds. By late Sunday night, low level moisture begins to lift
north along with increasing isentropic lift. Models disagree
about the timing of saturation in the low levels of the
atmosphere, with the GFS and GFS FV3-GFS slowest. Placed high
chance POPS in the far southern portions of the forecast area
with a sharp gradient of POPS from south to north.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 AM EST Friday
During the long term period, our area transitions from being
influenced by an upper level ridge off the southeast U.S. coast,
to a deepening upper level eastern U.S. trof with a closed low
near the Ohio Valley by Friday. Several upper level waves
lifting northeast on the northern periphery of the upper ridge
through our area will bring multiple rounds of precipitation
until a cold front passes on Tuesday. There still are some
signals in the models that heavy rain that could lead to some
flooding are possible, especially late Monday into Monday night
when the GEFS generates 850mb mflux values over 4 standard
deviations above average and PWAT values 2-3 standard deviations
above average. However, best upper level dynamics and low level
forcing are forecast to be just north of our area. For now,
will continue to highlight the potential for flooding in the
Hazardous weather outlook. Well above normal temps will be found
ahead of the cold front on Tuesday before falling to more
seasonable levels behind the front for mid-week.
Late in the long term period, the aforementioned closed low
helps generate a sfc low across the southeast U.S, but
deterministic models and ensemble members show a large spread in
timing of precipitation, location of the potential low, and
strength of this system. For now, increased POPs across the far
southern portion of our forecast area Thursday into early
Friday.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 1227 AM EST Friday...
Really poor flying conditions developing tonight and will
continue into Friday. Sub-VFR will be common through the period
in both cigs/vsbys with rain moving in.
A strong low level southerly jet atop insitu wedge with light
winds will lead to low level wind shear at all sites through
about 15Z Friday.
Friday will see a cold front work from west to east with the
mountains starting to dry out in the afternoon, but may linger
with MVFR cigs at BLF, while showers/lower cigs will stick
through 21Z Friday east of Roanoke.
Winds will start out light from the east to southeast, then
become southwest by midday Friday, then west late.
Rain will be heavy at times, but no thunder is expected.
Forecast confidence is medium on all elements, but lower on
timing and probability of improving cigs Friday afternoon and
rain ending, as well as timing of light/moderate/heavy rains.
Extended Aviation Discussion...
Winds will shift northwest Friday evening and the bulk of the
precipitation will exit the region with the departing cold
front. Only the preferred upslope regions of southeast WV south
into the mountains of NC can expected isolated to scattered rain
showers Friday night. Flight categories will improve quickly in
the east to VFR with lingering statocu across the mountains
leaving pockets of MVFR through the overnight hours.
Gusty northwest winds will continue on Saturday, but with the
vast majority of the region experiencing VFR conditions.
Sub-VFR conditions return Sunday into at least Tuesday when the
next series of disturbances and their associated precipitation
return to the area.
Forecast confidence in the above weather scenario is moderate.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
As of 1026 PM EST Thursday...
No changes to the flood watch. Coordinated with River Forecast
Centers and may see some decrease in forecast river stages,
especially along the Dan and Roanoke, but its all based on
rainfall amounts forecast. Otherwise, still looks like a general
1-2 inches of rain, with locally 3-4 inches possible across the
Blue Ridge and maybe SE WV with the cold front will likely
create flooding issues later tonight into Friday-Friday evening.
Rainfall rates overall will be under a half an inch an hour, but
could see some higher rates toward WV/Far SW VA Friday. Flash
flooding is not out of the question, but more general
creek/stream and river flooding over a longer period is the main
threat.
