AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
158 PM EDT WED AUG 27 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF FAY WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN
KENTUCKY BY THIS AFTERNOON. AS THIS LOW MOVES NORTH...A WARM
FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THIS
WILL WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD RAINFALL...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HEAVIEST RAIN TAPERING OFF ACROSS SW PARTS OF FCST AREA AND
BECOMING MORE SPOTTY FOR THE TIME BEING. WARM FRONT STILL JUST
SOUTH OF AREA BUT WARM SECTOR STILL EXPECTED TO SLIP INTO PIEDMONT
AREAS OF NRN NC AND SOUTH-CENTRAL VA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SFC
WEDGE LIKELY TO HOLD ACROSS MOST OF THE MTNS OF VA...BUT SOME
INSTABILITY ALOFT COULD HELP TO ONCE GAIN INCREASE SOME SHWRS BACK
IN THE MTNS. HEAVIEST QPF WILL CONTINUE TO BE ALONG BLU RDG NORTH
OF ROANOKE AND OUT INTO PIEDMONT WHERE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND LATER
THIS AFT SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM. CONTINUING THE FF
WATCH...EVEN DOWN IN NC MTNS...AS ANY ADDL RAIN THERE CAN STILL
CAUSE PROBLEMS WHERE THERE IS ONGOING REPORTS OF FLOODING. QUITE A
FEW RAINFALL AMTS OF 4 TO 7 INCHES AS OF MID MORNING FROM NW NC AS
FAR NORTH AS BLUE RDG AROUND ROANOKE.
BEST THREAT FOR STRONGER CELLS AND POSSIBLE SEVERE WX...INCL ISOLD
TORNADOES...REMAINS IN NORTH CENTRAL NC PIEDMONT AND FAR SOUTHSIDE
VA FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON...BUT BLV WEDGE WILL HOLD JUST NORTH
OF DAN AND MTV. MESOSCALE MODELS SUGGEST MORE CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT BACK ACROSS NW NC FOOTHILLS BUT BEST NORE OF
INSTABILITY IN CURRENT ANALYSES SUGGESS FARTHER EAST INTO
PIEDMONT.
NO REPORTS OF ANY WIND GUST IN ADV CRITERIA YET OTHER THAN EARLIER THIS
MORNING IN THE BLF AREA...AND GRADIENT IS DECREASING A BIT. WILL LEAVE
WIND ADV UP FOR NOW MAINLY DUE TO POTENTIAL FOR A FEW TREES STILL
TO COME DOWN...BUT WILL PROBABLY DROP THIS BEFORE IT EXPIRES THIS EVENING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
GOOD UPPER DIFFLUENCE TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN PART OF
THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. LOW LEVEL WINDS ALSO REMAIN EAST TO
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST UNTIL THURSDAY. AS EXPECTED MODELS SFC-700MB
MOISTURE IN THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. MSAS ANALYSIS IS SHOWING A
WEDGE OF STABLE AIR THROUGH MUCH OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. THE
WARM FRONT IS IN SOUTH CAROLINA BUT WILL BE LIFTING NORTH PAST THE
VIRGINIA BORDER BY THIS AFTERNOON. MAY BE HARD TO GET ANY HEATING
WITH ALL THE CLOUDS BUT THERE MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY IN EXTREME
SOUTHERN VIRGINIA AND NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
WINDS NEAR THE SURFACE MAY ALSO BACK ENOUGH AS THE FRONT APPROACHES
TO ENHANCE THE SHEAR ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY.
UPSLOPE FINALLY WEAKENS ON THURSDAY...BUT BY THE NEXT UPPER TROF
WILL BE COMING THROUGH. ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES. IF
WEDGE BREAKS OR THERE ARE ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS...HIGHS THIS
AFTERNOON MAY NEED TO RAISED 5 TO 10 DEGREES. THIS IS MOST LIKELY
TO HAPPEN ACROSS THE SOUTH PART OF THE FORECAST AREA.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ECMWF/NAM BOTH SHOWING SIGNS OF THE WEDGE HOLDING ON INTO FRIDAY.
ALTHOUGH THE OP GFS IS ABSENT OF A WEDGE SIGNATURE IN ITS
MSLP...SEEMS UNUSUAL THAT THE WEDGE WOULD BREAK OVERNIGHT
THURSDAY. THUS...LOWERED TEMPS SOMEWHAT CONSIDERING THE
UNCERTAINTY AND GOOD AMOUNT OF LLVL MOISTURE. SHOULD BE MORE
SUNSHINE IN THE SW AND W EXTREME OF THE CWA...AND THUS SOME STORMS
MAY BUBBLE UP IN THE PM. WEDGE SIGNATURE HANGS AROUND...ALBEIT IN
A WEAKENED FORM WITH LESS LLVL MOISTURE OFF AND ON THROUGH THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK...WITH HIGH PRESSURE SETTING UP ACROSS THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND NEW ENGLAND IN RESPONSE TO PERSISTENT
TROUGHING ALONG THE CANADIAN MARITIMES.
PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE LIMITED TO A WEAK FRONT MOVING INTO THE
AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. ECMWF SHOWING SOME LIGHT SCATTERED
CONVECTION SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE GFS A LITTLE SLOWER AND
STALLS THE FRONT ALONG THE NC/VA BORDER...KEEPING LOW CHANCE POPS
IN THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH LOW CONFIDENCE...WILL
KEEP POPS LOW AND CLOSE TO HPC GRIDS.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CEILINGS AT ALL TAF SITES WILL REMAIN BELOW 2000 FEET THROUGH 12Z
THURSDAY...WITH EXTENDED PERIODS OF IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS.
RAIN HAS TAPERED TO SHOWERS IN MOST WESTERN LOCATIONS AS OF EARLY
AFTERNOON BUT CIGS REMAIN LOW AND WEDGE PERSISTS. HEAVIER AND MORE
STEADY RAIN STILL IN EAST AND CHC OF CONVECTION STILL FOR DAN REST
OF AFTERNOON AND EVEN FOR A BRIEF TIME LATE TODAY AT LYH. WINDS
MAY TRY TO GO MORE SE AT DANVILLE AS BOUNDARY APPROACHES...BUT AM
NOT REAL CONFIDENT. LIGHT TO MODERATE SHWRS WILL CONTINUE OVER
MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY. WEDGE
REMAINS IN PLACE SO CIGS AND VSBYS COULD POSSIBLY BOTTOM OUT AT
LWB AND MAYBE LYH. LIFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AT ALL AIRPORTS AT
LEAST FOR A WHILE LATE TONIGHT AND AROUND DAWN. SHWRS EXPECTED TO
TAPER OFF IN WEST DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...SO DID NOT MENTION AT
THOSE AIRPORTS AFTER 12/13Z...BUT LIKELY TO CONTINUE ALONG AND
EAST OF BLUE RIDGE MUCH OF THURSDAY AND EVEN INTO THURS NIGHT.
LOW LEVEL EAST TO SOUTHEAST JET WILL STAY AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS THROUGH THIS
EVENING. HAVE EXTENDED THE TIME THAT LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS
LIKELY AT ALL TAF SITES BUT DAN WHERE SOME MIXING MAY TAKE PLACE.
CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE BY FRIDAY AS AN UPPER TROF MOVES
EAST OF THE AREA AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AT THE SURFACE...BUT
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION BY
LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY
