NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 12:25 PM EST, 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 125 PM EDT FRI JUN 1 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING. DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT FOR THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY SLIDES IN FROM THE WEST. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1226 AM EDT FRIDAY... UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PIVOTING OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY-TILTED ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON. DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND MODEST CAPE LIKELY TO PRODUCE A FEW DISCREET SUPERCELLS MORPHING INTO BOW LINE SEGMENTS. THE SEVERITY AND AREAL COVERAGE IS CONDITIONAL ON LINGERING CLOUDINESS. AT THIS TIME...BEST HEATING AND INSTABILITIES WILL BE ACROSS THE RNK PIEDMONT OF SOUTH-CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA. PWATS FROM RNK/GSO 12Z SOUNDINGS ARE AROUND 1.50 INCHES. WITH DYNAMICS AND FORCING...EFFICIENT CONVERSION OF THIS MOISTURE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CELLS/LINES WILL BE PROGRESSIVE ACROSS THE AREA AND FLASH FLOOD THREAT SHOULD BE LOCALIZE AND NOT WIDESPREAD. AS OF 921 AM EDT FRIDAY...THICK CLOUD COVER AND SHOWERS THIS MORNING LIMITING HEATING AND KEEPING INSTABILITIES ON THE MILD SIDE. THERE IS A WAVE COMING ACROSS EASTERN TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA THIS MORNING. THIS WAVE WILL CREATE AN AREA OF CLEARING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH THIS MORNING. THE WARM FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE NORTH TO HELP WITH THIS CLEARING. THE SEVERITY OF AFTERNOON STORMS ARE CONDITIONAL AT THE MOMENT WITH MORNING CLOUDS AND RAIN. WE WILL SEE HOW THINGS PROGRESS AND KEEP YOU UPDATED. AS OF 300 AM EDT FRIDAY...FRONT DRAPED EAST-WEST ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING COMBINED WITH OLD OUTFLOW TO THE WEST HAS CONTINUED TO RESULT IN A BAND OF SHRA/TSRA ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES. EXPECT SOME OF THIS COVERAGE TO LINGER THRU DAYBREAK BEFORE LIKELY SEEING A LULL AFTER SUNRISE AHEAD OF THE PRIMARY WAVE/COLD FRONT WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. HAVE UPPED POPS TO HIGHER CHANCES NW SLOPES TO REFLECT BETTER COVERAGE EARLY...AND LEFT IN CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ELSW GIVEN MOISTURE AND THE WEAK BOUNDARY AROUND FOR THE MORNING. OTRW MAIN CONCERN WITH EXTENT OF CONVECTION TODAY AS THE NEG TILTED 5H TROF TO THE NW PIVOTS A SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO THE FAR WEST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...REACHING THE PIEDMONT THIS EVENING. MODELS AGAIN SHOW PLENTY OF SUPPORT/LIFT WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF SHEAR/HELICITY ESPCLY NORTH PER 40 KT MID LEVEL JET...AND DECENT LOW LEVEL SW FLOW AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. IN ADDITION...GOOD 85H THETA-E PACKING UNDER A LOBE OF UPPER DIFFLUENCE SHOULD EVENTUALLY MAKE FOR A ENHANCED LINEAR AXIS OF TSRA BY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER MAIN QUESTION REMAINS WITH THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY GIVEN CURRENT SHRA/TSRA ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH/WEST PLUS CLOUD COVER THAT MAY BE TOUGH TO MIX OUT WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AS DEPICTED BY MOST GUIDANCE ATTM. LATEST NAM ALSO HAS BEST CAPES ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF LATER ON WITH SOME SUGGESTION OF A JUMP TO A SECONDARY LINE EAST LATER IN THE DAY...WHERE APPEARS THE HIGHER SEVERE THREAT WILL BE. MOST LOCAL MODELS ALSO SLIGHTLY FASTER WITH THE INITIAL LINE DEVELOPING FAR WEST EARLY AFTERNOON UNDER THE VORT LOBE...THEN REACHING THE BLUE RIDGE MID/LATE AFTERNOON...AND ACROSS THE EAST EARLY IN THE EVENING. THUS SPED UP CAT POPS A BIT WHILE ADJUSTING FOR MORE HEAVY RAIN THREAT FAR WEST AND ADDITION OF SCTD CELLS DEVELOPING ELSW EARLY ON AHEAD OF THE MAIN PRE- FRONTAL LIFT. THINK THINGS PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH DESPITE 1 INCH PLUS TOTALS IN SPOTS TO PRECLUDE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED FLOODING POSSIBLE WITH HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. THUS WILL MAINTAIN THE SEVERE/FLOOD THREAT IN THE HWO. TEMPS A BIT TRICKY GIVEN SUCH A WARM START WHILE BEING LIMITED BY CLOUDS/SHRA IN SPOTS EARLY ON. THINK ENOUGH BREAKS LIKELY TO GO 80-85 EAST AND MID/UPPER 70S WEST FOR NOW. MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE SWEEPS OUT OF THE PIEDMONT BY MID EVENING WITH THE FRONT TAKING ALL POPS OUT OF THE EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. DID SLOW UP EXODUS A LITTLE SINCE APPEARS MAY SEE A WEAK SECONDARY WAVE ON THE BOUNDARY OUT EAST THIS EVENING AS THE S/W TROF PIVOTS THRU. OTRW DRYING FROM WEST TO EAST THRU MIDNIGHT AND ONLY SOME LIGHT UPSLOPE -SHRA REMAINING NW LATE. SHOULD EVEN SEE SOME DOWNSLOPE CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT AS DRIER/COOLER AIR SURGES IN ESPCLY WEST LATE. THIS ALONG WITH MUCH COOLER 85H TEMPS ESPCLY OFF THE GFS SUGGESTS SOME LOWS IN THE 40S LIKELY WESTERN THIRD AND CLOSE TO 50 BLUE RIDGE...EXCEPT 52-58 OUT EAST AS THE BEST COOL ADVECTION LOOKS TO GET HUNG UP CROSSING THE RIDGES FOR THE MOST PART. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 315 AM EDT FRIDAY... COOLER AND DRIER AIR FINALLY MAKES A PROLONGED STAY ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM. ALTHOUGH TEMPS AGAIN WARM NEAR 80F AGAIN BY MONDAY...DEWPOINTS WILL NOT RISE ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE AIRMASS FROM REMAINING COMFORTABLE. AS A JET STREAK/UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS ON SATURDAY BEHIND THE FRONT...THE AIRMASS IS TOO DRY TO SUPPORT ANY WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCES WITH DOWNSLOPING FLOW SMASHING ANY UPWARD MOTION EAST OF THE ALLEGHANYS. HOWEVER...THE STRENGTH OF THE JUNE SUN COMBINED WITH COOL TEMPS ALOFT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR COULD STILL PRODUCE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF SE WEST VA AND SW VA LATER SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING. MUCH OF THIS MAY SIMPLY END UP BEING JUST SPRINKLES OUTSIDE OF SE WEST VA...THE DARK CLOUDS PRODUCED BY THE STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL LOOK PRETTY OMINOUS THOUGH. SATURDAY SHOULD BE THE COOLEST DAY...REMAINING CLOUDS AND A BREEZE WILL PREVENT THE NIGHTS FROM GETTING TOO CHILLY. FAST PACIFIC FLOW GENERATED BY AN UPPER GYRE SOUTH OF ALASKA WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND BEGIN ERODING THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE EASTERN COOL UPPER TROUGH BY SUNDAY. A MOSTLY DRY SUBTLE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH OVER THE CWA THAT DAY...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE COULD PRODUCE PASSING SHOWERS ACROSS SE WEST VA ONCE AGAIN SUNDAY. TEMPS MODERATE A FEW DEGREES. TOUGH TO FIND ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO MENTION ANY THUNDER AT THIS POINT. AGAIN MOISTURE WILL BE AT A PREMIUM...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE CLOUDS. THE GREAT LAKES UPPER LOW WILL MOVE TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY MONDAY...AND AMPLIFY A BIT AS IT COMBINES WITH ANOTHER GYRE IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC. WARMER AIR WILL BE ABLE TO FILL BACK EAST IN ITS WAKE...SUCH THAT H85 TEMPS WILL FLIRT ONCE AGAIN WITH +15C. THE OP GFS LOOKS A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE ON MONDAY WITH A SURFACE LOW MOVING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. THE 0Z ECMWF LINES UP BETTER WITH THE UPPER LEVEL CHARACTERISTICS...WITH A GOOD DEAL OF SINKING MOTION COMBINED WITH DOWNSLOPING FLOW...THIS MAY KEEP ANY CHANCES OF STORMS SQUASHED FOR ANOTHER DAY. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 330 AM EDT FRIDAY... THE CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL REMAIN OVERALL LOW THIS PERIOD...WITH MODELS SHOWING MAIN FORCING STAYING NORTH OF US...AND A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES STAYING SOUTHWEST OF THE REGION...WHICH COULD BE MCS/S SHIFTING FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE GULF COAST STATES. TEMPERATURES THIS PERIOD WILL BE DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER BUT SHOULD BE AT OR BELOW NORMAL...AS SFC FLOW WILL BE MORE NORTH TO EAST. LOWS IN THE 50S AND HIGHS IN THE 70S MOST DAYS. AS WE HEAD TOWARD THURSDAY THE FLOW WILL BE MORE SOUTHEAST AND COULD SEE A BETTER THREAT OF SHOWERS OR STORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS PER UPSLOPE CONVERGENCE. && .AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 115 PM EDT FRIDAY... HIGH CONFIDENCE FLYING CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE FROM WEST TO EAST THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA BY THIS EVENING. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE LATER THIS MORNING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...WITH SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY STRENGTHENING INTO THUNDERSTORMS SHORTLY EARLY. CONSIDERING THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE AREA...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW STORMS BECOME SEVERE DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON. HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN A MILE WITH A FEW HOURS OF MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS LIKELY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS PERHAPS SEVERAL BANDS OF CONVECTION PASS. BY EARLY EVENING...THIS COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO SOLIDIFY INTO A LINE...WITH THE MAIN AREA OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TRANSITIONING INTO THE PIEDMONT REGION BY MID EVENING...REMAINING STRONG TO SEVERE AS THEY CONTINUE EAST. THIS ACTIVITY WILL EXIT THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH CONDITIONS QUICKLY IMPROVING TO VFR. HOWEVER LIGHT WEST/NW FLOW ACROSS THE WESTERN SLOPES WILL LIKELY CAUSE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO BANK UP AGAINST THE RIDGES CREATING IFR/MVFR IN LOW CIGS AND/OR VSBYS ESPCLY AT KBLF AND PERHAPS KLWB LATE TONIGHT. SOME FOG ALSO POSSIBLE AT KLYH WHERE INCLUDING A MVFR MENTION GIVEN WET GROUND AND LIGHTER WINDS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRIER WEATHER AND MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER NW FLOW COULD KEEP MVFR CIGS AND PERHAPS ISOLATED SHRA ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH LESS CLOUDINESS ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE COULD BRING MORE SUB-VFR CONDITIONS IN SHRA/TSRA ON MONDAY WITH VFR RETURNING AGAIN FOR TUESDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
