Area forecast discussion, Nov 11, 6:41 PM EST, 1 hour 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
641 PM EST Wed Nov 11 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Overnight a cold front will combine with moisture from tropical
cyclone Eta over the Gulf of Mexico to bring another round of
locally heavy rainfall to the Appalachians and central mid
Atlantic region tonight. High pressure will bring drier
conditions for the end of the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
As of 145 PM EST Wednesday...
A very wet morning for the whole CWA, with the maximum activity
along the spine of the Blue Ridge, and another local max near
Lynchburg. Totals in those areas have been from 2"-4", with 1"-2"
elsewhere. As the afternoon begins, a slight lull in coverage is
occurring as previously forecast. However, as coverage has gone
down, convective activity appears to be on the rise. An individual
cell or two with higher cloud tops and radar returns over 50dBZ have
popped up in southwest VA, as well as some convection near
Greenbrier County, WV.
The focus this afternoon will be watching for when the cold front
enters the area, which will signal the beginning of the second batch
of heavy rain entering our area. CAMs indicate a quick sweep of
heavy rain through the Mountain Empire this evening, and then a bit
of a stall once the front makes it past the Blue Ridge. There is a
pretty good consensus that a band of heavy rain will stick around
for a few hours. The NAM especially tends towards that solution,
holding a band of heavy rain over a line from Roanoke to Lynchburg
for close to 12 hours tonight and into Thursday morning. With some
instability in the area, there could be some thunder mixed in. Based
on the heavy, soaking rain this morning in the Lynchburg area, a
Flash Flood Watch was issued in preparation for the second wave of
heavy rain in that area overnight Wednesday.
Temperatures are warm for this time of year, most sites east of the
Blue Ridge are already over 70 degrees, and will climb a few more
degrees. Everywhere else is at least in the mid 60s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 250 PM EST Wednesday...
Our cold front continues east into central Virginia as strong high
pressure nudges in from the north and west across the Ohio River
Valley. As result rain chances will slowly diminish from west to
east across the region as the front pushes toward the Virginia/North
Carolina coast. Even with that said there may still be ongoing
hydrological issues regarding minor flooding on areas streams and
creeks especially east of the Blue Ridge. Showers look to persist on
the backside of the front as leftover moisture will remain prevalent
through at least Thursday night.
The 12z NAM remains the most aggressive here in stalling the front
along the coast through Friday morning while the remnant low of ETa
passes off the North Carolina coast. The 12z GFS and Euro remains
drier with high pressure taking the wheel late THursday night into
early Friday morning and pushing the front further south into the
Carolinas.
The departing front and remnant core of Eta along with incoming dry
high pressure should provide us with good boundary layer mixing by
Friday afternoon. Model soundings from the GFS, Euro, and even the
Canadian to an extent depict winds out of the northwest at 10-15 mph
with gusts of 20-30 mph up over the higher terrain. This should drag
in some colder air and with lowering relative humidity values comes
a return to overnight lows in the 30s Friday night into Saturday
morning.
Winds diminish Saturday afternoon as high pressure slides east. High
temperatures will remain seasonable in the mid to upper 50s and low
60s. Lows will be a touch warmer in the low to mid 40s as high
pressure heads for the coast and our next cold front approaches from
the Ohio River Valley.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Models continue to show an upper wave of energy crossing through the
northern stream of the jetstream early Sunday morning. This will drag
our next cold front through the region Sunday into Sunday night. The
GFS continues to show a broken line of precipitation pulling through
late Sunday into Monday morning while the European is a touch
quicker by 6 hours and wetter during the same time range.
Synoptically a large trough looks to move into the area Monday
allowing for breezy conditions as our front fades to the east and
cool high pressure settles in.
With the trough a few pieces of weak energy will roll on through
especially with a northwest component to the wind on both Monday
afternoon and evening as well as on Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning. Some upslope snow showers or flurries may be possible
during this time according to the latest 12z GFS and European model
runs. The overall question is to how much moisture can we fetch off
the lakes to the north and will it win out with strengthening high
pressure overhead. Temperatures look to remain at or slightly above
normal through the period.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 645 PM EST Wednesday...
Flight conditions are up a bit, with the prevailing conditions
VFR/MVFR. The current problem is the convective nature of storms at
the moment. Cigs and visibility will drop to IFR/LIFR conditions
rapidly as a strong thunderstorm moves over them. From 1200Z until
1203Z, BCB, ROA and DAN are in the direct path of some of the
stronger convection in the area. BLF, LWB, and LYH are all near the
storms and are in spots that could see formation in that same time
frame. Beyond that, BLF and LWB ought to become a bit more clear as
the front surpasses them. Until 1215Z or so, BCB, DAN, ROA, and LYH
all are within the threat area for thunderstorms and could see
dramatic changes in flight conditions. As the front comes across ROA
and LYH will be at particular risk of extended periods of IFR/LIFR
conditions.
As the front approaches, the prevailing VFR/MVFR will deteriorate
into mostly IFR until later Thursday morning. Cigs will drop and
vsbys will decrease with rain showers. As Thursday morning
progresses, cigs will begin to come up and vsbys will increase
behind the front with some drier air and as diurnal heating begins
to kick in. Conditions will return to a more VFR/MVFR situation.
.Extended Aviation Discussion...
High probability for sub-VFR conditions with widespread rainfall
into Thursday as moisture from the tropics combines with an
upper level trough and surface front over the region. Models
diverge for the weekend with some indication that clearing will
take place as high pressure builds into the north for the
weekend, but maintaining cloudy wet weather along the southeast
Atlantic Coast from the remnants of Eta.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
As of 200 AM EST Wednesday...
No change to previous thinking with locally heavy rainfall
poised to move up from the south this morning. Expect widespread
1 to 2 inch amounts for the piedmont and foothills, with 2 to
locally 3 inches expected along the crest of the Blue Ridge of
the North Carolina Highlands through southern Roanoke County
this morning. Training of rain bands over the same areas is also
possible, which may lead to locally higher amounts and the
possibility of minor flooding of small creeks and streams. A
flood watch has been issued for the counties on either side of
the crest of the Blue Ridge from Roanoke southward as a result
of the potential for heavy rain.
A cold front will pass eastward across the central Appalachians
Wednesday night/early Thursday, bringing a renewed threat of
heavy rain, where an additional 1 to 2 inches is possible, more
so along and east of the Blue Ridge. Localized flooding will
again be a possibility with this rain before it exits the area
to the east by Thursday afternoon.
The strongest potential for mainstem river flooding is found
across the Dan River basin and the Roanoke River downstream of
Roanoke, where bankfull conditions are expected, possibly minor
flooding. The James River basin, as well as basins west of the
Blue Ridge, are not expected to be as heavily impacted.
