AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 113 PM EDT TUE JUN 19 2007 .SYNOPSIS... VERY WARM AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE BREAKS DOWN TODAY WHILE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TNGT USHERING IN COOLER HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... MAIN CONCERN WITH CONVECTIVE COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON AS FRONT APPROACHES AND DEPTH OF MOISTURE INCREASES. ONSET OF GOOD HEATING HAS BEEN DELAYED A BIT BY AC DECK OVER THE WEST AHEAD OF WEAK PRE- FRONTAL CONVERGENCE ZONE WEST OF THE RIDGES. LATEST MODIFIED RAOBS INDICATE 1-2K CAPES THIS AFTERNOON ONCE MID DECK FADES WHILE DEGREE OF FOCUS IFFY PER BEST OVERALL LIFT TO THE WEST WITH FRONT AND SOUTHERN S/W. LATEST WRF SHOWS ONSET OF TSRA ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE PER HEATING/OROGRAPHICS AHEAD OF SHEARING TN VALLEY VORT LOBE...SO THINK AT LEAST WIDELY SCATTERED COVERAGE A GOOD BET WEST THIS AFTERNOON. OUT EAST WHERE LIFT LESS KEY WITH TIMING AND LOCATION OF DEVELOPING LEE TROF AS LOW LEVEL FLOW TENDS TO BACK THIS AFTERNOON. APPEARS WARM AIR ALOFT MAY HINDER CONVECTION A BIT LONGER OUT EAST SO SLOWING DOWN EASTWARD PROGRESSION EVEN MORE THIS MORNING. OTRW UPDATED HWO TO REFLECT SOUTHERN EXTENT OF SLIGHT RISK AREA THRU THE EVENING AS THE MAIN FRONTAL BAND ATTEMPTS TO PUSH ACROSS THE WESTERN SLOPES LATE UNDER BETTER DYNAMICS/SHEAR PASSING NORTH. WILL KEEP HIGH POPS FAR WEST/SW FOR LATER ON DESPITE SOME POSSIBLE CUTOFF OF DEEP RH A BIT BY MORE ORGANIZED TSRA WITH WAVE TO THE SW. MORE HIGH TEMP RECORDS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON (MAINLY EAST) WHERE FULL SUN THICKNESS TEMPS FROM 12Z PUSHING MID/UPPER 90S. SHOULD SEE READINGS JUMP BACK INTO THE MID/UPPER 80S MOUNTAINS ONCE EARLY CLOUDS DIMINISH BUT LIKELY NOT AS HOT AS MONDAY GIVEN MORE OF A SW TRAJECTORY AND A SLOWER START. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... FRONT JUMPS INTO THE LEE TROUGH OVERNIGHT SO PCPN WILL TEND TO SKIP OVER THE NEW RIVER VALLEY AND BLUE RIDGE...BEFORE GETTING BETTER ORGANIZED OVER THE EAST. REORGANIZATION WILL ACCELERATE WEDNESDAY WITH HEATING AND THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA MAY BE ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THIS CONVECTION BEFORE IT HEADS TOWARD THE COAST. MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON THE ARRIVAL OF THE DRIER AIR TO THE ENTIRE CWA BY LATE WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH THERE IS A HINT OF LINGERING SHOWERS INTO WED EVENING IN THE NAM. HAVE SEEN THIS OCCUR BEFORE WITH LOW LEVEL NORTH WINDS BEHIND A FRONT...SO AM LEAVING A SLIGHT CHANCE UP TO THE BLUE RIDGE AT LEAST THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY SAT...AND WEAKEN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY. FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERS SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC AS MODELS ARE BECOMING DIVERGENT ON A SOLUTION...WITH ONE HAVING THE FRONT AS FAR SOUTH AS GEORGIA...AND THE OTHER IN MAINE SUN-MON. SAT STILL LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS...AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS TO THE NORTH...WITH MORE A DIURNAL TREND SUN-TUE...AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE WEAK...BUT PROVIDE ENOUGH CONVERGENCE FOR ISOLATED/SCATTERED COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY THE MOUNTAINS. BY TUESDAY...THE FRONT WILL BE MOVING EAST OF THE AREA WITH A WEAK TROUGH SET UP ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. LOOKS LIKE WE WILL HEAT UP ONCE AGAIN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... WIDELY SCTD SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS THRU LATE THIS AFTERNOON. MORE ORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ALIGNED ALONG THE FRONT WHICH WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA CLOSER TO 00Z. OVERALL CONDITIONS WILL BE VFR OUTSIDE OF TSTMS...UNTIL LATE TONIGHT WHEN MVFR CIGS/VSBYS LIKELY. THUS WILL INIT WITH VICINITY MENTION MOST SITES ESPCLY ACROSS THE WEST WITH MORE PREVAILING MVFR IN CONVECTION THIS EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL SAG ACROSS THE PIEDMONT WED MORNING WITH ANY CONVECTION ENDING BY EARLY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER SINCE THINK MAJORITY LIKELY WILL SHIFT SE OF THE EASTERNMOST SITES WILL NOT INCLUDE SHRA MENTION WED MORNING FOR NOW. MUCH DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE NEXT FRONT COMES THROUGH THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. && .CLIMATE... RECORDS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE TODAY...BUT NOT QUITE A LIKELY AS ON MONDAY.
