Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
253 PM EDT Fri Jun 22 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary will drift slowly north tonight as a wave of low
pressure along it moves east. Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms are expected across the region into tonight. The rain
may be heavy at times. Low pressure will move from the Ohio Valley
to the eastern Great Lakes Saturday, then eastward across New
England Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 253 PM EDT Friday...

Flash Flood Watch remain in effect until midnight for
VAZ046-047-058-059.

A closed upper low over Indiana this afternoon will open up and
northeast tonight into Saturday. Numerous showers and thunderstorms
have developed this afternoon in the unstable air across our region.
SPC Mesoscale analysis at 18z showed Surface based CAPES from 1k to
2500 j/kg and LIs from minus 2 to minus 4 across our forecast area.
The Effective bulk wind shear still demonstrates a pocket of 30 to
40 knot this afternoon. SPC in the Day One Convective outlook
continued a slight risk of severe weather in our northeastern
portion of the forecast area with marginal risk elsewhere.
There remains a potential for supercells. Damaging winds, heavy
rains and hail are the primary threat with deeper convection.

Showers and thunderstorms will move east across our area
this afternoon into tonight. HiResW-arw-east and HRRR capture
the main band of convection quite well for this afternoon. The
NAM,GFS and ECMWF showed scattered storms moving east across the
region tonight. Spokes of energy associated with the upper low
may result in lingering showers overnight especially in the west.
Areas of low clouds and fog will develop overnight especially
where heavier rain falls this afternoon. Low temperatures tonight
will range from the upper 50s in the mountains to around 70 degrees
in the piedmont.

With the movement of the low pressure center northeast, the warm
front will continue to advance north Saturday with the cold front
pushing east. The cold front should move across our area Saturday
afternoon into Saturday night. Shortwaves rotating around the upper
trough will enhance convection. The Latest day 2 convective outlook
placed a marginal chance to our east and to our west. In any case,
expected scattered showers and thunderstorms again on Saturday.
High temperatures will vary from around 70 degrees in the northwest
mountains to near 90 degrees in the piedmont.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 253 PM EDT Friday...

500MB heights rising Saturday night through Monday night. Flow is
zonal Saturday night and Sunday with more ridging by Monday.  A 60
knot jet streak over the West Virginia and Pennsylvania Sunday will
provide some shear and upper diffluence during the afternoon and
evening.

Downsloping winds and 850MB temperatures across southern Virginia
and northern North Carolina will result in above normal temperatures
east of the Blue Ridge on Sunday. Will stay on the warm side of
guidance for maximum temperatures.

Confidence for all elements is average.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 253 PM EDT Friday...

Upper ridge over the forecast area on Tuesday. Northern jet stream
remains progressive and models in decent agreement bringing the next
trough through the northeast United States on Wednesday and
Thursday.

Surface high pressure over the northeast and Mid Atlantic on Tuesday
will move offshore by Wednesday. This will mean a return of moisture
and a daily thunderstorm threat each afternoon and evening.
Potential for west to northwest surface to 850MB winds on Thursday
and Friday as seen on the ECMWF may limit areal coverage of
precipitation. Temperatures will be slightly above normal through
the period.

Confidence for all elements is average Tuesday and Wednesday and
below average for Thursday and Friday probability of precipitation.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 135 PM EDT Friday...

VFR/MVFR conditions with pockets of IFR/LIFR associated with
convection and frontal boundary expected this afternoon into
tonight. Gusty winds around thunderstorms may hinder aviation
operations.

North and east of the front cigs into IFR category across
central and eastern VA. Southwest of the front conditions
generally are MVFR to VFR. Scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms will spread east across our region this
afternoon into tonight. KROA,KBCB and KLWB all have a good
chance of having a thunderstorm this afternoon. Expect
areas of low clouds and fog to develop overnight with leftover
convection lingering especially in the west. Morning low clouds
and fog will lift by late morning return most areas to VFR and
MVFR.

Medium confidence in ceilings,visibilities and winds during the
taf period.

.Extended Aviation Discussion...

Similar conditions anticipated into Saturday with scattered
convection. The best chance of a thunderstorm will occur across
northwest portions of the forecast area.  A cold front will
finally sweep through the region Sunday with improving
conditions Monday and Tuesday. Isolated to scattered MVFR
showers and thunderstorms are possible Wednesday.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
As of 200 PM EDT Friday...

The NOAA weather radio transmitter in Hinton, West Virginia that
is WXM72 and broadcasting at a frequency of 162.425 MHz is off
the air. Parts are on order to repair the transmitter, but there
is no known time of restoration. We apologize for any
