Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
108 PM EST Fri Dec 28 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
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 1245 PM EST Friday...

The bulk of the heaviest precipitation has progresses east of
the crest of the Blue Ridge as a cold front makes headway toward
the western extent of the forecast area. Changes to the
forecast through the remainder of the afternoon include
primarily an increase in timing of the ending of the main area
of precipitation in the west. Once northwest flow starts to
increase, a return of some isolated upslope rain showers will be
possible in the far west late this afternoon into the early
evening. This increase in timing also will be reflected in the
forecast of the ending of showers across the central portion of
the area by the late afternoon. Have also tweaked hourly
temperature, dew point, wind/gusts, and sky cover to reflect the
latest observations and expected trends through the afternoon
hours.

As of 940 AM EST Friday...

The morning update will reflect two distinct adjustments to the
ongoing forecast. First, a gap in the broader area of
precipitation has developed along a line from roughly Wentworth,
NC northeast through locations such as Danville and Appomattox,
VA. This gap will continue for perhaps another hour or two
before the broader area of precipitation to the west advances
into the region in advance of an approaching cold front. Another
adjustment will be the inclusion of isolated thunder across
some of our NC counties. Lightning network has shown a couple of
strikes across Wilkes County, NC, just west of the region where
there is a gap in precipitation. Extrapolating this region
eastward, and continuing to recognize the stronger wedge in
place along the lee of the Appalachians, will offer some
isolated thunderstorms for the next few hours within our NC
counties and just barely north into parts of Southside VA.

Have also tweaked hourly temperature, dew point, wind/gusts, and
sky cover based upon the latest observations and expected trends
into the early afternoon hours.

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 /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 1230 PM EST Friday...

A cold front will move across the area this afternoon into this
evening. Ahead of this front, moderate to heavy rain showers are
expected along with a mix of sub-VFR flight categories. Post
cold frontal passage, conditions are expected to improve fairly
rapidly east of the crest of the Blue Ridge heading through the
evening hours, and especially the early morning hours of
Saturday. Across the mountains, ceilings will be slower to
improve, but visibilities for most locations will improve to
VFR.

During the day Saturday, most locations will be VFR at daybreak.
The area between or just west of a KBLF-KLWB line will have some
lingering IFR/MVFR ceilings through the morning hours.

Confidence of the above forecast scenario is moderate to high.

Extended Aviation Discussion...

Winds may be gusty from the northwest into 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.

Questions concerning flight categories continue into Wednesday
based upon where a frontal boundary is located. If south of the
area, high pressure will win out and VFR conditions will prevail
for most of the area. If the front is more over our region,
sub-VFR conditions will be more likely.

Forecast confidence in the above weather scenario is moderate
through Tuesday with low confidence Wednesday.

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 100 PM EST Friday...

No changes to the Flood Watches. While the bulk heavy rain has
occurred across the area, as the precipitation pools into the
creeks and streams and eventually the larger stem rivers, the
potential for flooding continues. Take heed to any flood
warnings that are in effect for your area.
