Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
402 PM EDT Mon Jun 11 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Backdoor cold front will move south and into the Carolinas
tonight, then return as a warm front Wednesday. For the next 24
to 36 hours we will be on the cool side of the front.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...

Backdoor surface front is on the move. Cool wedge has advanced
south into North Carolina extending from ILM-GSO, then arcing
northwest through ROA and into WV. Air behind the front is
stable with low level stratus blanketing most of the eastern
2/3rds of VA. This significantly impacted any sort of
temperature rise north of the front Monday, keeping readings
AOB 70. South of the front, temperatures tested 80.

Instability/CAPE over the forecast area has been limited due to
increasing cloud cover associated with the advancing front.
Showers are still likely through the evening hours, but severe
threat, and to some degree the excessive rainfall threat, will
be limited due to the increase in stability from the rapidly
developing wedge east of the Appalachians. High pressure over
New England is making a push to the south, this northeast wind
push of stable air helping to squelch the convective potential.
If anything, the overall trend will be for increasing upslope
easterly flow with the showers morphing into an area of light
rain and drizzle which may linger into or through the day
Tuesday. Low stratus will be the rule for the next 24-36 hours
for areas east of the Appalachian Divide...a late spring wedge.

Once the wedge becomes established, temperatures will rise very
little with Tuesday's highs remaining within 5-10 degrees of
the overnight lows tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM EDT Monday...

A shortwave trough is expected to cross the region Tuesday night
into Wednesday, bringing its associated cold front into and across
the region as well. This feature will help erode what remains of the
high pressure wedge that would have been in place on Tuesday, such
that low level winds become southwest during the night at 5 to 10
mph across the mountains. The Piedmont region will be light
southwest or near calm. The impact of the light winds and residual
moisture is expect to generate some patchy fog, especially across
the Piedmont where winds will be lighter. Isolated to scattered
showers are forecast for the mountains, closer in proximity to the
approaching front. Low temperatures will range from around 60 to the
lower 60s across the mountains with low to mid 60s across the
Piedmont.

The cold front is expected to cross all, or most of the region,
based upon the latest model guidance during the day Wednesday.
Enough instability is expected for isolated to scattered storms to
develop in association with the front, especially during the
afternoon hours. High temperatures will range from around 80 to the
lower 80s across the mountains to the mid to upper 80s across the
Piedmont.

On Wednesday night, lingering showers are expected during the
evening, especially across the Southside region of Virginia and
neighboring sections of north-central North Carolina. High pressure
will start to nose its way into the area by sunrise Thursday. Low
temperatures will range from the low to mid 60s across the mountains
to the mid to upper 60s across the Piedmont.

Thursday is expected to be our driest day of the next seven thanks
to high pressure continuing to build into our area. We are expecting
more sun than clouds with little or no precipitation. High
temperatures will range form around 80 to the lower 80s across the
mountains with mid to upper 80s over the Piedmont.

Confidence in the above forecast scenario is moderate to high.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Monday...

A ridge of high pressure will cross the region Thursday night in the
wake of the cold front. Initially, flow across the region will be
light from the north, but by early Friday morning a weak southerly
flow will have developed on the west side of the ridge axis. This
will help to usher some moisture back into at least western parts of
the area in the form of increased cloud cover and potentially some
isolated showers. The vast majority of the region will be
precipitation-free.

Friday through Monday the general synoptic pattern across the
western half of CONUS is matching fairly well from model to model.
Upper ridging is expected across the Lower and Middle Mississippi
River Valley with a stalled/slow moving low/trough that begins this
period over the mid-Atlantic and New England regions, but migrates
southeast into the western Atlantic by the end of the forecast
period. What isn't matching too well are the smaller nuances. These
primarily involve the timing/track of associated shortwave
troughs/fronts that will be pinwheeling around the west side of the
trough/low, or traverse southeast into the area through the top of
the ridge to our west.

Currently, the following are slated as most probable time fore
precipitation during this part of the forecast. Friday afternoon and
night thanks to return flow of moisture into the area and daytime
heating Friday afternoon, and then the passage of shortwave trough
on the tail end of the parent upper low/trough Friday night.

Sunday afternoon and evening another weak disturbance heads south
across the area allowing for more coverage than typical diurnal
heating would provide.

Monday, another weak disturbance crosses the area, plus some
guidance offers a solution of having a cold front flatten the upper
ridge to our west and make headway toward our region. This feature
and its associated jet dynamics would allow for more than diurnal
coverage.

Temperatures during this portion of the forecast will trend milder
each day. On Friday, readings will average right around normal for
this time of year. By Monday, temperatures will average around five
degrees above normal.

Forecast confidence during this portion of the forecast is moderate
on the broader scale pattern but low on the finer details.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...

Deteriorating flight conditions this evening. Backdoor cold
front will bring wedge of cool stable air to areas east of the
Appalachian Divide with widespread low clouds. Stratus deck with
cigs of 500-1000 feet will be common for the next 24-36 hours.

Periods of showers this evening will morph into areas of light
rain or drizzle tonight. The visibility will be restricted attms
to 3-5SM associated with the showers, then dip into the 1-3SM
range with the drizzle and light rain late tonight.

Winds favor easterly component through Tuesday.

.Extended Aviation Discussion...

Wedge will linger into Tuesday night before retreating
Wednesday. Conditions are expected to improve a bit through the
later half of next week, but still a threat of at least
diurnally driven showers/thunderstorms with daily potential for
late night fog/low clouds each day during the period.
