NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 11, 11:15 PM EST, 45 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 1215 AM EDT TUE JUN 12 2007 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LOW OFF OF THE NE COAST...WILL BE THE SOURCE OF SEVERAL UPPER AIR DISTURBANCES THIS WEEK. THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL NOT MOVE EAST UNTIL LATE WEEK...KEEPING UNSETTLED WEATHER IN PLACE. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... SHOWERS HAVE DISSIPATED ACROSS THE AREA...BUT MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR THE SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT...AS SHORTWAVE MOVES SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. FOG HAD DEVELOPED ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...AND IS LOCALLY DENSE IN HLX. HAVE ADDED FOG TO THE FORECAST FOR SOUTHSIDE VA AS WELL...AS CLEARING SKIES AND MOIST GROUND SHOULD ALLOW FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT. BY MORNING SHORTWAVE WILL BE OVER OUR FAR SOUTHWESTERN CWA AND SOME CONVECTION MAY GET GOING IN THAT AREA EARLY BUT SHUD SINK SOUTH. THE SFC BNDRY WILL ALSO MOVE DOWN INTO THE CAROLINAS FOR TMRW. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL DROP INTO NORTHERN VA DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH TSTMS POSSIBLY SPREADING SOUTH INTO CENTRAL AND WESTERN VA LATER IN THE DAY. RELATIVELY MODERATE TEMPS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE WARMER AIR OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY UNDER THE BROAD UPR RIDGE. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... GFS CONTINUES TO BE THE MODEL OF CHOICE...CONCERNING THE POTENT SHRTWV DROPPING JUST TO OUR SOUTHWEST BY TUESDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH NAM-WRF HAS SIMILAR TIMING AND STRENGTH...TYPICAL NAM DRY BIAS WITH THIS SETUP APPEARS AGAIN. SOUPY AIRMASS IN PLACE...WITH NEAR 70F DEWPOINTS IN PLACE JUST TO OUR SOUTH...WITH SOME HEATING...AND SLIGHT UPSLOPE COMPONENT SHOULD EQUATE TO A SHOWERY DAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...ESPECIALLY WESTERN AND SW HIGHEST POINTS. ALTHOUGH TSTORMS MAY DIE OFF WITH LOSS OF HEATING...SHOWERS SHOULD STILL PERSIST IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CORE OF COLDEST H5 TEMPS...-15C TO -18C...PASS OVER SW CWA...LOWERING FREEZING HTS...ALLOWING AT LEAST SOME SMALL HAIL WITH STORMS THAT DO FIRE LATER TUESDAY. ALTHOUGH NOT AS UNSTABLE ON WEDNESDAY...EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME...SUNSHINE LEADING TO LATE MORNING CLOUDS ALONG WITH SHWRS/TSTORMS. ALTHOUGH ANOTHER CHUNK OF -15C H5 AIR MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA ON THURSDAY...DRIER AIR IN THE MIDLEVELS MAY PRECLUDE AS MUCH DEVELOPMENT...WITH SLT CHC POPS REMAINING IN THE FORECAST. EXPECT DENSE FOG...ESPECIALLY IN THE VALLEYS...WED MORNING WITH DIURNAL CLOUDS BREAKING UP A BIT AND LIGHT WINDS. TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN SIMILAR WED AND THURSDAY. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... EASTERN REX BLOCK ON FRIDAY BREAKS DOWN BY THIS WEEKEND WITH IMPROVEMENT BY THE END OF THE LONG TERM...ALTHOUGH ECMWF AND GFS DIFFERING ON STRENGTH OF UPPER RIDGE WHICH FINALLY MOVES EAST INTO THE CWA. AGREE WITH HPC THAT ECMWF IS MOST LIKELY SOLUTION...AS GFS SEEMS TOO STRONG WITH LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY H5 LOW...WHICH PREVENTS H5 RIDGE FROM BUILDING AS STRONG AS THE ECMWF PREDICTS. THUS...EXPECT H85 TEMPS TO RUN AOA +20C ON SUNDAY FORWARD. COLD FRONT WEAKENING AND SLIPPING OUT OF PENNSYLVANIA...INTO THE NORTHERN AND NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE CWA MAY BE ENOUGH TO SPARK OFF CONVECTION LATE SUNDAY...BUT POPS WERE LEFT FOR NOW...AS AGAIN GFS MAY BE TOO AMPLIFIED WITH THE BOUNDARYS SOUTHERN PROGRESS. WARMEST DAY OF THE FORECAST SHOULD ARRIVE MONDAY...WITH ISOLATED STORMS ON THE BLUE RIDGE AND WEST...DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE CAP. && .AVIATION /04Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... OUTSIDE OF SCTD TSTMS THAT SHOULD TAPER OFF AFTER 01Z...EXPECT OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SOME MVFR FOG LIKELY IN A FEW SPOTS EARLY IN THE MORNING AS WELL AS POCKETS OF IFR ESPECIALLY WHERE EARLIER RAIN OCCURRED. FOG SHOULD QUICKLY GIVE WAY TO CLEAR SKIES...THEN SCTD/BKN AFTERNOON CU TUESDAY ALONG WITH WIDELY SCTD TSRA. HOWEVER SINCE COVERAGE IFFY IN ANY ONE LOCATION HAVE LEFT MENTION OUT OF THE TAFS FOR NOW. THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDWEEK ALTHOUGH COVERAGE OF LATE DAY CONVECTION MAY INCREASE ON WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF A CHANGE TO A MORE STABLE...MARITIME AIRMASS ON THURSDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
