Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
110 PM EST Tue Jan 9 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong storm system will move across the eastern United States
today producing a wide variety of precipitation, including heavy
rain for the Mid- Atlantic region.  Rain, heavy at times is
expected through the day which may lead to flooding. In
addition, expect strong gusty winds, especially across the
higher elevations.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1050 AM EST Tuesday...

Key Messages:

- Added large portion of Foothills and piedmont for chance of
  thunder today

 - The Winter Weather Advisory along the southern Blue Ridge is
   in effect until noon

- The Winter Weather Advisory in Greenbrier County and the
  Alleghany Highlands in Virgina is in effect until noon

Timing of the more convective line on the western edge of the
shield of precipitation is forecast by the HRRR to cross through
the region between 2PM and 7PM. Have kept the chance of thunder
and heavy rain aligned with this timing and also pulled the
thunder threat up to at least Route 460.

The big picture... A major storm system is ongoing across the
eastern U.S. with snow, heavy rain, thunderstorms and wind. A
very potent mid-upper level trough over the Central U.S. is
becoming negatively tilted and this is allowing for rapid
surface cyclogenesis over the Midwest and Ohio Valley. The
result will likely be a sub-980 mb surface low over Michigan by
late this evening, and this low will continue lifting toward the
northeast across southern Ontario and into Quebec by Wednesday
afternoon. A strong cold front trailing south from the parent
low will move east across the Mid-Atlantic and Deep south, and
will pass off the East Coast by Wednesday morning.

Widespread hazardous weather impacts are expected for the eastern
third of the U.S. in association with this low pressure system,
and numerous warnings and advisories are now in effect from the
Gulf Coast to Maine. One of the big things making weather
headlines will be the widespread expanse of heavy rain capable
of producing flooding. Forecast rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is
expected across our forecast area which will result in ponding
of water, poor drainage flooding, and potential for small
stream and river flooding. Another concern is a strong 850 mb
low level jet that will be in place just ahead of the cold front
with southerly winds of 50 to 80 mph just a few thousand feet
above the surface. At the surface, much of our forecast area is
being protected by a shallow wedge of cool air, the stronger
winds passing over top of the wedge. As this wedge erodes later
this afternoon, will have to watch for increasing wind gusts.
Downslope southeast wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph are already being
observed along the western slopes of the Appalachian Divide
(BKW-BLF-TYS) and across the ridge peaks. Beech Mtn NC recorded
a 58 mph wind gust at around 315AM this morning. Passage of the
cold front late this afternoon will bring a wind shift from the
southwest and potential for strong wind gusts associated with
the front's passage. The wind, combined with the rain soaked
ground, may also make it easier for the wind to uproot trees
resulting in isolated power outages.

All things considered it will be a busy weather day.

By tonight, the front will be east of the area. Conditions
should slowly improve with partial clearing. Rain will come to
an end, but do expect lingering moisture across the mountains.
As temperature retreat into the 30s, the moisture should
convert to snow showers. Winds will be gusty through the night.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 245 AM EST Tuesday...

Key Messages:

1) Confidence is high for gusty west winds and mountain snow showers
on Wednesday.

2) After a dry Thursday, another low pressure system may bring more
rain and gusty southeast winds on Friday.

The wind will increase from the west on Wednesday as a low pressure
system exits offshore. However, the wind is depicted as just a tad
more southwest than true west in the models, which may limit the
maximum wind gusts and the upslope component to producing mountain
snow showers. Nevertheless, gusts could reach up to 40 MPH along the
higher elevations, and snow showers should fly from Boone to
Lewisburg. Only western Greenbrier County has the potential for
around an inch of snow, while most of the mountains may just see
flurries. The wind and the snow showers should fade by Wednesday
night as high pressure builds to the south.

Thursday appears quiet and will be a needed reprieve from all the
active weather lately. Clouds should increase on Thursday night as
the atmosphere prepares to deliver another low pressure system for
the Mid Atlantic that should arrive by Friday morning. The models
have slowed down the timing with this system a little compared to
previous solutions. Any hint of a wintry mix of precipitation is
extremely limited to just the first couple hours in the mountains
with milder air pushing anything over to liquid by midday. Bands of
heavy rain and a gusty southeast wind are the main threats from this
system. With antecedent conditions becoming increasingly wet lately,
there is yet another risk of flooding for Friday and Friday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 245 AM EST Tuesday...

Key Messages:

1) Confidence is moderate for gusty west winds and mountain snow
showers on Saturday.

2) Another low pressure system could bring a chance of wintry
precipitation by Monday, but confidence is low on any details.

It may sound like an almost exact repeat of the short term section,
but this part of the forecast will start with a low pressure system
exiting offshore that will produce a gusty west wind and mountain
snow showers from Boone to Lewisburg on Saturday. The only
difference is that the winds aloft could be stronger, but it is too
early to tell how much that will mix down to observed gusts at the
ground. Weak high pressure should allow the wind and snow showers to
dissipate by Saturday night, and Sunday appears to stay dry. Of
course, this section has to complete the repetition cycle by closing
out with yet another low pressure system lurking for Sunday night
into Monday. However, it may be cold enough to introduce a better
chance of wintry precipitation, but the details are very murky with
model solutions varying notably on track and timing.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1245 AM EST Tuesday...

Widespread IFR to IFR ceilings will cover southwest Virginia,
northwest North Carolina and southeast West Virginia early this
afternoon. Visibility was MVFR in moderate to heavy rain.

A strong southeast LLJ is present just above the surface. This
will lead to LLWS until a cold front crosses the area from west
to east before 00Z/7PM. The same jet will produce surface wind
gusts of 30 to 50 knots west of a KLWB-KBLF-KTNB line.

A narrow band of heavier deep convection will crossing the area
ahead of the front producing intense rainfall with LIFR
visibility and up to 50 knot west wind.

Expect a west to southwest wind behind the front tonight and
Wednesday. Wind gusts will up to 40 knots behind the front.

Upslope MVFR clouds and numerous snow showers will remain over
the mountains along the west slopes of the central Appalachians
through Wednesday morning, including at KLWB and KBLF.

OUTLOOK...

Widespread VFR returns for Thursday associated with High
pressure and light winds.

More rain tracks in Friday with sub-VFR likely...another storm
system that will take a similar track compared to Tuesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 100 PM EST Tuesday...

A Flood Watch continues for most of the area.

Rain is expected through today, and is expected to become heavy
at times this afternoon. Rainfall totals will be in the 2-4"
range, with periods of high rain rates and locally higher
rainfall amounts.

Additionally, upstream rainfall and snowmelt will make its way
into some of our area rivers. The Yadkin, Danville, Roanoke, and
Greenbrier Rivers all have points on them that will be close to
our exceeding minor flood stage tonight and Wednesday. A few
sites may near moderate flood stage.
