AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1019 AM EST TUE FEB 13 2007

.UPDATE...

&&

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

14Z MSAS/SFC OBS SHOWS THE WEDGE IN PLACE OVER MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA. WEAK LOW LEVEL ISENTROPIC LIFT IS GENERATING PATCHY
LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE THAT IS SPREADING NORTHWARD OUT OF NC AND
INTO VA/SE WV. MODELS INDICATE THIS ISENTROPIC LIFT SHOULD
STRENGTHEN THIS AFTERNOON AND THE LIGHT PRECIP SHOULD FILL IN
MORE. BY THIS EVENING...THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE IN THE MAIN BAND
OF PRECIP AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AT THE SAME TIME...COLDER AIR IS
ALREADY DRAINING SOUTHWARD EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS ON A NORTHEAST
LOW LEVEL FLOW. HOT SPRINGS HAS DROPPED FROM 32 TO 27
DEGREES...AND EVEN SPOTS ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY IN FLOYD
COUNTY NEAR BUFFALO MTN HAVE DROPPED TO 31 AND 29 DEGREES. WE HAVE
REPORTS OF ICING ALONG THE PARKWAY IN FLOYD COUNTY...AND I EXPECT
THERE IS ICING ALONG THE PARKWAY NORTHEAST OF ROANOKE AS WELL. THE
CURRENT THINKING IS THAT TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY FALL IN
HIGHER ELEVATIONS...AND WORK THEIR WAY DOWN INTO LOWER ELEVATIONS
HEADING INTO LATE AFTERNOON. ICING IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS MAINLY
ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD. THE
CURRENT ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS STILL LOOK ON TRACK. I WILL MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS TO WEATHER...TEMPS TO BETTER DEFINE WHERE FREEZING
RAIN IS ALREADY OCCURRING...AND THEN EXPAND IT A BIT THIS
AFTERNOON. NO OTHER MAJOR CHANGES ARE EXPECTED.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 658 AM EST TUE FEB 13 2007/

AVIATION /12Z-12Z/...

CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE THIS MORNING AS RAIN SPREADS ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEARLY
STEADY TODAY BUT WILL DROP AFTER 20Z WITH MANY LOCATIONS IN THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA GETTING FREEZING RAIN
OVERNIGHT. ROA AND LYH HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR FREEZING RAIN
BETWEEN 00Z AND 09Z WEDNESDAY. INSITU DAMMING DEVELOPS TONIGHT DUE
TO THE PRECIPITATION AND A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN LIGHT WINDS IN THE
FOOTHILLS WITH MVFR FOG AT ROA. VISIBILITIES WILL ALSO BE MVFR TO
IFR WITH THE RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN TONIGHT.

PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 527 AM EST TUE FEB 13 2007/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

TWO SHORT WAVES COMING OUT OF THE PLAINS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE
STRONGEST Q-VECTOR FORCING IS TONIGHT ALONG WITH THE BEST
FRONTOGENESIS IN THE 800-850 MB LAYER. UPPER DIFFLUENCE AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE 285 TO 295 LAYER WILL ALSO AIDE THE LIFT THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THERE WILL BE A SMALL BREAK IN THE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS
THE AREA BETWEEN THE WEST-EAST ORIENTED BAND ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA
AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND PRECIPITATION THAT WILL DEVELOP IN THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY AND CAROLINAS THIS AFTERNOON. WILL ONLY HAVE A VERY
SMALL AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION IN THE GRIDS BETWEEN 09-15Z TODAY.

AT 850 MB WINDS BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST PROVIDING GOOD UPSLOPE AND
CONVERGENCE...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE FROM 18Z TODAY THROUGH
06Z WEDNESDAY. AFTER 12Z WEDNESDAY WINDS INCREASE TO 50-60 KNOTS
FROM THE NORTHWEST BEFORE STARTING TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AND PRESSURE RISES IN THE +4 TO +8
RANGE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO GUSTY SURFACE WINDS.

AT THE SURFACE THE PRIMARY LOW WILL MOVE FROM ITS CURRENT POSITION
IN ARKANSAS INTO WEST VIRGINIA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. A TROF ALONG
THE COAST FROM GEORGIA TO NORTH CAROLINA IS ALREADY FORMING. AS THIS
TROF SHARPENS AND THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...THE WEDGE
OVER THE COUNTY WARNING AREA WILL STRENGTHEN.

WITH THE GFS DEVELOPING THE COASTAL LOW TOO FAST...IT MAY ALSO BE
PULLING THE COLDER AIR DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS TOO
FAST. SURFACE DEW POINTS ARE STILL IN THE TEENS AND 20S IN PARTS
OF THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT SO THERE IS ROOM FOR COOLING. DONT
EXPECT MUCH CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES TODAY UNTIL MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. ONCE THE SUN SETS AND THE WEDGE IS BETTER ESTABLISHED
FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD. THIS WILL BE
DURING THE TIME WITH THE LARGEST PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS SO DID NOT
CHANGE ANY OF THE HEADLINES.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

NO CHANGES AT THIS TIME.

AVIATION /06Z-06Z/...

OVERNIGHT WARM AIR ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT-INDUCED RAIN
FALLING INTO INSITU WEDGE. THIS WILL BRING MAINLY SNOW TO HIGHER
ELEVATIONS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SLEET EARLY
ON. LOWER MOUNTAIN ELEVATIONS BEING A LITTLE WARMER...MAY SEE RAIN
MIXED WITH SLEET.

DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...THINGS BECOME MORE INTERESTING AS COLD AIR
WEDGES SOUTH DOWN THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS WHILE SURFACE
WAVE TRACKS THROUGH THE TENN VALLEY AND BRINGS IN WARM AIR AND
MOISTURE. AS THESE TWO MEET...A WINTRY MIX IS LIKELY ACROSS NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE AREA.

AREAS SEEING THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY FOR A WINTRY MIX WILL BE FROM
LWB-ROA-LYH NORTH...ESPECIALLY RIDGES BETWEEN 1-2 KFT WHERE
EVAPORATED COOLING WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES COLDER. FROM BLF-TNB-DAN
SOUTH...ALL PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE LIQUID. BETWEEN THESE TWO AREAS
IS STILL A QUESTION MARK WITH TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND FREEZING.

CONDITIONS WILL ONLY DETERIORATE THROUGH THE PERIOD. ANY VFR
CONDITIONS WILL FALL TO MVFR/IFR OVERNIGHT IN THE WEST. DURING THE
DAY...EASTERN SITES TO FALL TO MVFR/IFR. MOUNTAIN RIDGES OBSCURED
THROUGH THE PERIOD.
