AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 906 PM EST MON NOV 5 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING AND INTO TUESDAY MORNING. NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...ALONG WITH AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE WILL AFFECT THE HIGHEST WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR ON FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... TIMING OF FRONT HAS NOT CHANGED WITH LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS AND 18Z MODEL RUNS. FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL STILL BE FROM 03-12Z WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS GRADUALLY DIMINISHING AS THEY CROSS THE BLUE RIDGE. HAVE ADDED ISOLATED THUNDER FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS THIS EVENING IN THE FAR WEST BASED ON CURRENT LIGTNING DETECTION. ALSO RAISED MINIMUM TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN THE EAST. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... COLDER AIR WILL ALLOW FOR FLURRIES TO MIX IN BEHIND THE FRONT AOA 3K FEET...BUT DO NOT SEE ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL AS DRY SLOT WILL CUT DEEPER MOISTURE QUICKLY. THINK WE ARE LOOKING A PD OF ANTICYCLONIC FLOW TUESDAY WHICH WILL ALLOW MOST OF THE CWA TO CLEAR OUT. CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL EVENTUALLY WORK THIS FAR SOUTH LATITUDE...PROVIDING DEEPER MOISTURE FOR SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MTNS OF WV TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WED. GIVEN GREATER POTENTIAL FOR SUN ON TUESDAY...RAISED TEMPS CLOSER TO MAV GUIDANCE. ENOUGH OF A GRADIENT WILL REMAIN BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS...TO STOP LOW TEMPS FROM GETTING TOO CHILLY TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING. USED ENSEMBLE BLEND OF MOS LEANING TOWARDS SLIGHTLY WARMER MOS VALUES. DECIDED TO HOLD ON TO LIGHT POPS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE FAR WEST. TAPERED OFF QUICKER AND LOWER POPS ON WEDNESDAY. PLAY HIGHS NEAR MAV GUD WITH READINGS FROM THE LOWER 40S TO THE MID 60S. COLD NIGHT ON TAP WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH DECOUPLING AND TEMPERATURES FROM -2 TO -4C AT H85 GIVING WIDESPREAD 20S...POSSIBLY THE COLDEST MORNING THUS FAR THIS FALL SEASON. HIGH PRESSURE DEPARTS ON THURSDAY...ALLOWING A CLIPPER TYPE LOW TO DROP INTO THE MEAN EASTERN US TROUGH. ELECTED TO GO WITH HIGHS AROUND THE MAV GUD. QUESTIONS REMAIN ON HOW MUCH SHORTWAVE WEAKENS AND HOW FAR SOUTH IS THE MOISTURE ? && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... LOW PRESSURE DROPS SOUTHEAST INTO THE MEAN EASTERN US TROUGH...WITH A REPLENISHING SHOT OF COOLER AIR FOR THIS WEEKEND. WITH HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING IN SE CANADA...AND NE FLOW...COOLER SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE. LEAN EXTENDED PERIOD TOWARDS GFS MOS WHICH WAS CLOSE TO HPCGUIDE. && .AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... THINKING FROM EARLIER TODAY STILL LOOKING ON TRACK. THE FIRST PRECIPITATION FROM AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT SHOULD ARRIVE AROUND 02Z AT BOTH KLWB AND KBLF ACCOMPANIED BY PRIMARILY VFR VSBYS...AND CIGS DROPPING TO THE LOW END OF VFR. COULD BE BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR VSBYS WITH HEAVIER PRECIPITATION. BEHIND THE FRONT THIS REGION OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL SEE CEILINGS DROP TO MVFR LEVELS WITH NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLOW WITH SOME HIT OR MISS LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AND EVENTUALLY LIGHT FLURRIES BY MORNING AS TEMPERATURES FALL. CEILINGS WILL GRADAULLY IMPROVE TO LOW END VFR BY LATE MORNING AND STAY THAT WAY THROUGH THE DAY. NEAR AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE PRECIPITATION WILL BE CONFINED TO MAINLY SCATTERED SHOWERS BY 05Z WITH CIGS AND VSBYS REMAINING VFR. THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN HERE WILL BE THE LACK OF COMPLETE MIXING OF INCREASED WINDS ALOFT UNTIIL AFTER SUNRISE TUESDAY WHEN SURFACE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO GUST. PRIOR TO MORNING...STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL EXIST. RETURN OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR TOWARDS SUNSET TUESDAY WILL OCCUR AS SURFACE WINDS DECOUPLE AGAIN WHILE THE NORTHWEST JET REMAINS STRONG. HIGH PRESSURE AND CLEAR SKIES ARE ANTICIPATED WED NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH ANOTHER FRONT FORCAST TO CROSS THE AIR TERMINALS FRIDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
