AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
412 PM EDT THU APR 8 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE APPALACHIANS LATE
TODAY...THEN THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT AREAS LATE THIS EVENING.
HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THIS WEEKEND...BEFORE A WEAK AND DRY COLD
FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH THROUGH THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC INTO MONDAY. THE
REGION REMAINS BETWEEN AN UPPER LOW ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES
AND A STRENGTHENING UPPER HIGH OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHWS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED NOW INTO THE NEW RIVER
VALLEY AND ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT EAST OF
CRW. WITH A CAPPING INVERSION/NEGATIVE ENERGY/WEAK MID LVL LAPSE
RATES...THE THREAT FOR STRONG STORMS HAS BEEN MINIMAL DESPITE
IMPRESSIVE SHEAR AND UPPER LEVEL WIND FIELDS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. MUCH
OF THE DAY...BEST INSOLATION WITH MORE LLVL MOISTURE/SURFACE
DEWPOINTS HAS OCCURRED EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...ALONG THE
SOUTHSIDE AND NC PIEDMONT. STORMS BREAKING OUT THERE
NOW...BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED AS COLD FRONT NEARS...ARE MOST FAVORED TO
BECOME SEVERE WITH DMGG WIND GUSTS...WITH BETTER FORCING DUE TO A
COUPLE OF H3 JET STREAKS FORMING A COUPLET...AND SOMEWHAT STRONGER
MID LVL LAPSE RATES. DID PLACE SVR WORDING IN ZFP FOR THE
SOUTHSIDE AND NC PIEDMONT. WEAK CAPE IS MADE UP FOR BY THE
IMPRESSIVE SHR...AND SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD SHOW ROTATION IF
THEY GET UNDERWAY. FRONT AND PRECIP MOVING A LITTLE FASTER THAN
PROGGED...THUS SHWS WILL BE ENDING AFTER MIDNIGHT. MUCH COLDER AIR
ARRIVING AS H85 TEMPS FALL TO -2C...WITH POSSIBLY A FLURRY MIXING
IN ALONG THE HIGHLANDS LATE TONIGHT. MOISTURE DEPTH LOOKS TOO
SHALLOW FOR MUCH UPSLOPE PRECIP TOMORROW ALONG SE WEST VA...BUT
WILL CARRY SLT CHC POPS JUST DUE TO APRIL SUN AND OVERALL
INSTABILITY. WINDS MAY GUST TO 40 MPH AT TIMES TOMORROW...BUT NOT
CONVINCED TO GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY ATTM.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL RESULT IN
DRIER WEATHER. WITH THE UPPER TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT...COOLER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE FORECAST AREA AS 85H
TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM +1C TO -3C. WINDS WILL BE SUBSIDING FRIDAY
NIGHT AS THE HIGH MOVES OVERHEAD AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES.
THE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE FREEZING OR BELOW MAINLY IN THE
MOUNTAIN VALLEYS ALONG WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID
20S...THEREFORE HAVE HOISTED A FREEZE WATCH FROM MIDNIGHT TO 8AM
SATURDAY. THESE VALLEYS HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF SEEING WIDESPREAD
FROST TOWARD DAWN.
AFTER THE VERY WARM WEEK...FRIDAY WILL SEEM BLUSTERY EVEN WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S AND 60S. TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY FRIDAY
WILL RUN ABOUT 3-6F BELOW NORMAL. THE TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND TO
NORMAL ON SATURDAY AND MODERATE ABOVE NORMAL ON SUNDAY AS DRY AIR
AND SUNNY SKIES PREVAIL. OVERNIGHT LOWS OVER THE WEEKEND WILL DROP
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN REGION THROUGH NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...A BACKDOOR FRONT AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK TRIES TO PUSH ITS WAY SOUTH. BELIEVE IT
WILL BE TOO DRY FOR ANY PRECIP BUT EXPECT INCREASING CLOUD COVER
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA EARLY WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEASONAL
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. RISING HEIGHTS WILL RETURN MID WEEK AND
TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO MODERATE BACK INTO THE LOWER 70S.
MAINTAINED A DRY FORECAST THROUGH THE EXTENDED.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
COLD FROPA IS EXPETED TO BE A FEW HRS EARLIER ALONG THE
LWB/BLF/JFZ CORRDIOR. AROUND 20Z BLF AND 21Z LWB...AROUND 23Z TO
01Z ROA AND LYH...AND AROUND 02Z DAN. SHOWERS MOVING INTO A VERY
DRY AIRMASS...WITH EVAP COOLING WILL ALLOW WINDS TO GUST TO 35MPH
AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON BLF/LWB/ROA. EXPECING NO WORSE THAN MVFR
CONDS WITH THE SHOWERS...MAYBE A BRIEF IFR...BUT KEPT TAFS
OPTIMISITC. CHCS FOR STRONG STORMS SEEMS TO BE LESS THAN PREV
MODEL RUNS...AND AS STATED BEFORE WOULD BE A THIN LINE ALONG THE
FRONT...MOST LIKELY NEAR DAN WHERE MODELS PROG LESS NEG ENERGY AND
BETTER DEWPOINTS NOW IN PLACE.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE W AND NW THIS EVENING...WITH A GUST TO 30
MPH POSSIBLE WHEN THE FRONT CROSSES. WITH WINDS REMAINING UP...NOT
EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF IFR CIGS...PERHAPS ONLY WITH ANY
STORMS WHICH DEVELOP...OR BRIEFLY IN THE UPSLOPE REGIONS. MVFR CIGS MAY
CONTINUE IN THE UPSLOPE AREAS OF THE MTNS INTO FRIDAY AS WELL.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WITH VFR ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION FOR THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A FEW WILDFIRES ONGOING AT THIS TIME...PERHAPS MITIGATED BY THE
0.25" TO 0.50" OF RAINFALL EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH TREND IS MORE
TOWARDS LIGHTER AMOUNTS. WINDS MAY GUST TO 40 MPH AT TIMES ON
FRIDAY...WITH DEWPOINTS PLUNGING INTO THE 30S AND UPPER 20S...RH
VALUES WILL BE FALLING TO NEAR 30 PERCENT ONCE AGAIN.
