Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
152 PM EDT Sun Jun 21 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Summer pattern takes hold early this week with typical afternoon
and evening scattering of storms. A stronger front works in from
the northwest midweek with a better coverage of storms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 1045 AM EDT Sunday...

Happy Fathers Day. In general anticipating fair weather for the
bulk of the afternoon. A look at both the RNK/GSO morning
soundings would imply minimal upper support for organized deep
convection. There is a ribbon of mid level moisture (evident in
the water vapor imagery and revealed by some morning ACCAS which
arcs NNW to SSE through WV and into far western VA. This ribbon
of mid level moisture and instability is forecast to drift east
across the forecast area this afternoon with convective
allowing models indicating potential for cloud build ups leading
to scattered showers/thundershowers. Best convergence for
convective initiation is forecast over the VA/WV highlands and
across the Grayson Highlands and into the NC High Country. As
such, have highlighted both of these regions for the highest
POPs this afternoon. The mean wind is from the northwest
(330deg/15kts) so anything that develops across the higher
terrain would tend to drift southeast with time and potentially
reaching the foothills of the Blue Ridge for the late afternoon
and the piedmont this evening.

Another area to watch is a MCV over west central KY. This
feature is forecast to move northeast into the OH Valley this
afternoon. Convective outflow from this feature may reach our
far western CWA late this evening (after 8PM). Attm, not
confident on how far east this convective activity will make it
once we loose the daytime heating, but will maintain at least a
low chance threat overnight for areas west of the Blue Ridge,
while the rest of the area sees activity diminish toward
midnight. Fog again may be an issue given high humidity values,
but likely favoring the river valleys.

Going with previous forecast for highs today with 80s across the
board, cooler in the higher mountains, warmer in the piedmont.

Expect muggy conditions Sunday night with lows in the 60s.

Forecast confidence is high for temperatures/winds and sky cover and
fair to good for storm coverage today/tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 150 PM EDT Sunday...

With a broad upper level trough and a shortwave passing through the
Mid-Atlantic Monday, rain chances persist through Monday night for
mainly the west. Going into Tuesday, widespread convection takes
over throughout the day. This will be aided thanks to lift from the
trough and it associated inbound front. Likewise, SW flow ahead of
this system will help keep a very warm, humid airmass in place that
will be rather unstable with CAPE values ranging between 1-2000j/kg.

Tuesday into Wednesday, the front tilts and becomes parallel to
upper level flow resulting in a slow down. This slow down will keep
shower and maybe isolated storm chances along the west Tuesday
night, and then a resurrection of shower and storm chances for the
day Wednesday. Once we get to Wednesday night, the front starts to
exit our region, ushering in a period of drier weather.

For now, the greatest severe potential looks to be Tuesday
afternoon, though the risk will still be isolated. A severe threat
looks possible for Wednesday, but it will even more isolated than
Tuesday's. Damaging winds and hail will be the primary risk with the
potential for training storms with heavy rain rates to produce
flash flooding.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Sunday...

The upper trof axis will be pushing off to our east by Friday,
allowing the Appalachians and central mid Atlantic region to get
into a regime of low amplitude ridging that will build over
time. This will allow a Bermuda high to become established off
the coast and put the region firmly into a building summertime
regime.

Temperatures will be trending to above normal through next
weekend. Ring of fire convection looks to be tracking from the
midwest up through the middle Atlantic region, leaving us with
just increasing chances for typical afternoon/evening
showers/thunderstorms each day.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 1100 AM EDT Sunday...

Isolated to Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected
this afternoon, initially favoring the higher terrain early this
afternoon then drifting southeast into the foothills and
piedmont later this afternoon and evening. A more organized area
of deep convection will be found over the OH Valley as an MCV
moves northeast from west central Kentucky. The outflow from
this storm activity may reach our western forecast area tonight
which may impact KBLF/KLWB.

Due to the Isolated/Scattered nature of the showers/storms may
keep mention out of the TAFs, or just use VCTS for the mountain
terminals only. Will amend the TAFs if radar indicates
otherwise.

The airmass generated showers/storms are expected to fade after
00z/Monday although do expect activity associated with the MCV
Over the OH valley to persist.

In general, through 06z tonight, most areas to remain VFR
outside of the scattered deep convection. Formation of river
valley fog will bring some of the mountain valley terminals,
such as LWB/BCB back down to IFR/LIFR due to visibility
restrictions.

Forecast confidence = Good.

Extended Aviation Discussion...

Monday-Tuesday expect mainly afternoon/evening scattered
storms. A front approaches midweek with better coverage of
showers and thunderstorms. With humidity staying up and
clearing at night, fog/low cloud potential is high each late
night/early morning, especially where there was rain the
previous day.
