AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1025 AM EDT SAT JUN 11 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY
RESULTING IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY
AND TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE REGION SUNDAY...
A MORE COMFORTABLE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVERTAKING THE REGION
FROM THE NORTH MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
KEEPING AN EYE ON AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MAKING ITS WAY TO THE
SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR WEST VIRGINIA COUNTIES THIS MORNING.
CURRENTLY...THIS BOUNDARY IS WEAKENING...AND IT APPEARS TO BE
PRODUCING ONLY SPOTTY SHOWERS AND WIND GUSTS IN THE 15 TO 20 MPH
RANGE. HOWEVER...AS THIS BOUNDARY CONTINUES PUSHING INTO OUR
AREA...IT MAY PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR NEW THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS DAYTIME HEATING INCREASES.

AT ANY RATE...THE EARLY MORNING FORECAST PACKAGE APPEARS TO BE IN
GOOD SHAPE. DID MAKE A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HOURLY
TEMPERATURES AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SURFACE COLD FRONT FROM PA ACROSS UPPER OHIO VALLEY TO MOVE
SOUTHEAST TODAY...CROSSING THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE
PIEDMONT SUNDAY. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ANTICIPATED ALONG THE FRONT WITH ORGANIZED LINES OR MULTICELL
CLUSTERS. RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL INCREASE AS WE ENTER PEAK
HEATING PART OF THE DAY WITH INCREASE INSTABILITY RESULTING IN
HEALTHY UPDRAFTS AND POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS. IN ADDITION TO STORMS ALONG THE FRONT...TSTM CLUSTERS ALSO
LIKELY TO FORM ALONG BLUE RIDGE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND DRIFT
EAST INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. THESE STORMS WILL ALSO HAVE
THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL...AND MAY EXHIBIT A SLOWER MOVEMENT
COMPARED TO THE INBOUND STORMS ALONG THE FRONT. THIS WILL
INTRODUCE A FLASH FLOOD ELEMENT THAT WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE DELT
WITH THIS AFTERNOON.

COMPLEXITY OF THE SITUATION SUGGESTS NEED TO BEEF UP THE STAFFING
THIS AFTERNOON...AND POTENTIAL NEED TO ACTIVATE SKYWARN. ATTM DO
NOT FEEL ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED BEFORE ABOUT 200 PM. TSTM
ACTIVITY LIKELY TO PERSIST WELL INTO THE EVENING. STORMS THAT FIRE
ALONG BLUE RIDGE WILL MOVE EAST...TO BE REPLACED BY INBOUND
THUNDERSTORM LINE/CLUSTER OUTFLOWS FROM THE OHIO VALLEY THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT WILL PROBABLY NOT
CLEAR THE CWA UNTIL SUNDAY...SO TEMPS/DEWPOINTS TO REMAIN ELEVATED
THROUGH TONIGHT AS WE WILL REMAIN ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE FRONT.
HAVE REMAINED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE FOR MAX/MIN TEMPS. THINK MOST
AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF BLUE RIDGE TO TEST 90 DEGREES TODAY AND
DIPPING NO LOWER THAN THE 60S TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT
TRACKS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. A WEST WIND DEVELOPS EARLY
OVER THE MOUNTAINS BUT THE THETA-E BOUNDARY WILL STILL BE IN THE
OHIO VALLEY. WITH SOME CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT AND LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE LINGERING...A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON SUNDAY ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. TO
THE EAST AND ESPECIALLY IN THE PIEDMONT...SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
CONTINUES TO PUMP MOISTURE IN TO THE AREA. WITH AFTERNOON HEATING
AND LIFT FROM THE FRONT...STRONG CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH LATE
AFTERNOON IN THE PIEDMONT OF SOUTH-CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST
NORTH CAROLINA. BY THE EVENING...THE FRONT WILL CLEAR SOUTHSIDE AND
COOLER DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

TEMPERATURES A LITTLE TRICKY SUNDAY WITH MORNING SHOWERS COMING
ACROSS THE AREA. WITH COLD AIR LAGGING WELL BEHIND THE FRONT...A
WARM START TO THE DAY AND SOME CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD
PROPEL TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
PUSH COOLER AIR INTO THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
TEMPERATURES MONDAY WILL BE CLOSER TO NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPPER TROF WILL PASS OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TUESDAY WITH SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING SOUTH FROM THE GREAT LAKES BEFORE SLIDING SE
TO NEAR THE OUTER BANKS EARLY WEDNESDAY. LOW LEVEL FLOW VEERING FROM
NORTH TO EASTERLY AROUND THE RIDGE SHOULD KEEP ONGOING DRY AIR AND
LOW PWATS IN PLACE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT SO KEEPING THINGS DRY
EARLY ON. 5H RIDGING FOLLOWS IN BRIEFLY ON WED BEHIND THE PASSING
TROF AND THE NEXT FRONT/ASSOCIATED UPPER LOW APPROACHING FROM THE
MIDWEST WED NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. RETURN OF WARM ADVECTION AND
MOISTURE AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM LIKELY TO BRING A GRADUAL INCREASE IN
CONVECTIVE CHANCES WITH HEATING ESPCLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS WED
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER THE LATEST ECMWF A BIT SLOWER AND SUPPORTED BY
THE CAPPED NATURE OF THE GFS RAOBS SO LIMITING POPS TO JUST THE FAR
SW WHERE MAY BE AIDED BY DIFFERENTIAL HEATING A BIT OTRW PC TO
MOSTLY SUNNY WED. COLD FRONT LOOKS TO SAG SE TOWARD THE AREA
THURSDAY AND WILL LIKELY SLOW OR STALL ACROSS THE EAST FRIDAY AS THE
UPPER SUPPORT LIFTS OUT TO THE NE. MOISTURE AGAIN LOOKS PLENTIFUL BY
LATER THU AND EXPECT WITH HEATING TO SEE BETTER SHRA COVERAGE AHEAD
OF THE FRONT WITH DECENT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE CWA INTO THU NIGHT.
GIVEN UNCERTAINTY TO WHERE THE BOUNDARY MAY BE FRIDAY...LEAVING IN
SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE POPS WITH BEST FOCUS BLUE RIDGE AND POINTS
EAST. TEMPS WILL SLOWLY WARM FROM THE COOLER/DRIER VALUES OF EARLY
NEXT WEEK TO NEAR NORMAL LATER AS THE HIGH MOVES OUT AND SW FLOW
REDEVELOPS. HOWEVER NO BIG RUN OF HEAT AS HIGHS REMAIN IN THE UPR
70S/LOW 80S WEST TO MID OR UPPER 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
KBCB AWOS IS NOT TRANSMITTING DUE TO A LIGHTNING STRIKE THURSDAY
EVENING. WILL USE AMEND NOT SKED IN THE TAF UNTIL COMMS IS RE-
ESTABLISHED.

LOOKING FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA TODAY...TONIGHT...AND
POSSIBLY SUNDAY. SURFACE FRONT IN THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY WILL
SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH TODAY...AND WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH
THUNDERSTORM LINE SEGMENTS OR CLUSTERS...SOME WITH LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS. THE RISK FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL WANE WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE FRONT SUNDAY. UNTIL THEN WILL HAVE TO TRY TO TIME
THE INDIVIDUAL STORM SEGMENTS AND AMEND TAFS AS NEEDED DEPENDING
ON WHERE THE MORE ORGANIZED ACTIVITY DEVELOPS WITH TIME. THE
GREATEST COVERAGE IS ANTICIPATED DURING THE PEAK HEATING OF THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE FRONT THAT COMES THROUGH ON SUNDAY AND SHOULD TURN THE WIND
FLOW MORE NORTHERLY FOR MONDAY ALONG WITH SOME DRYING. AS
SUCH...SHOULD SEE A LULL IN SHRA/TSTM ACTIVITY FOR MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY...AND POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY. RETURN FLOW WITH MOISTURE
COMING BACK INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL RENEW
POTENTIAL FOR AFTERNOON POP UP SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS BY THURSDAY.
