AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 305 PM EDT TUE JUL 10 2007 .SYNOPSIS... COLD FRONT OVER THE GREAT LAKES SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY...AND EAST TO THE COAST BY THURSDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN THURSDAY...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FRONT ARRIVING TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... LEE TROUGH AND GOOD HEATING ALONG WITH WEAK OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM SHOWERS THIS MORNING HAS LED TO CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG/EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. WIND FLOW IS WEAK...SO STORMS ARE SLOW MOVING AND BRINGING HEAVY RAINS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN SCATTERED THROUGH THE EVENING. SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE TN VLY WILL BRING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS TO OUR WESTERN FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS EVENING AS WELL. ONCE THIS WAVE PASSES AND WE LOSE HEATING...STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...BUT REMAIN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED IN THE WEST AS THE MAIN SHORTWAVWE OVER MO/AR ARRIVES. CLOUDINESS AND HIGH DEWPOINTS WILL KEEP LOWS TONIGHT SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT AND WENT CLOSE TO MAV OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... COLD FRONT AND DECENT SHORTWAVE ARRIVES WEDNESDAY...AND DYNAMICS SUSTAIN A WIDESPREAD AREA OF SHOWERS/STORMS INTO THE WEST...PASSING EAST INTO THE PIEDMONT BY AFTERNOON. BOTH 12Z NAM/GFS AGREES ON THIS AND ON THE MOVEMENT. HAVE GONE CATEGORICAL POPS IN THE WEST WEDNESDAY...LIKELY EAST. MODELS ARE MORE PROGRESSIVE AND THIS IS THE SOLUTION I CHOSE...WHICH SHOULD SEE A DIMINISHING TREND FROM WEST-EAST LATE WED AFTERNOON THROUGH WED NIGHT. THE RAIN IS MUCH NEEDED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SRN 2/3 OF THE FORECAST AREA. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... THURSDAY LOOKS DRIER AS SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVES IN. FRONT WILL STALL OUT TO THE SOUTHEAST OF US...FAR ENOUGH WAY TO KEEP PRECIP OUT. 5H TROUGH DEEPENS THU-FRI WITH ANOTHER FRONT/SHORTWAVE ARRIVING. PRECIP WITH THIS IS MARGINAL...BUT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE NWRN 1/3 OF THE CWA WILL SEE A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS. THE 00Z GFS IS AN OUTLIER AMONG THE OTHER MODELS...IN RESPECT TO STRENGTH OF SHORTWAVE SWINGING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND LOW PRESSURE TRACKING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION DURING THE WEEKEND. FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD BE JUST SOUTH/EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA SAT MORNING...THEN DISSIPATES. ANOTHER FRONT ARRIVES BY SUNDAY FROM THE NORTHWEST...AND MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE 00Z ECMWF WERE PRESSING IT FURTHER SOUTH WITH HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH OVER THE EAST. HOWEVER...THE 06Z GFS/00Z UKMET AND 12Z/09 ECMWF ENSEMBLE ARE NOT AS AGRESSIVE. THIS WILL KEEP THE FRONT STALLED A LITTLE NORTH OF US. THIS IS CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...BUT FRONTS SO FAR THIS SUMMER HAVE NOT BEEN STALLING AS FAR NORTH AS NORMAL. FOR SENSIBILE WX...TEMPS SHOULD BE ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT IN MID JULY...WITH CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAXED IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILTIES WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH 21Z. THE STORMS WILL BE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 MPH. THE STORMS WILL DISSIPATES THIS EVENING. A SHORT WAVE COMING OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL BRING A WIDESPREAD AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO REACH BLF AND LWB AROUND 12Z WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. CONVECTION AND SEVERE POTENTIAL INCREASES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT AS A PRE- FRONTAL BAND MOVES TO THE EAST COAST. WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL COME THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND CROSS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. BEHIND THE FRONT EXPECT COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER WITH VFR CONDITIONS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
