NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 9, 5:59 PM EST, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 659 PM EDT TUE JUL 9 2013 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL SEND SEVERAL QUICK DISTURBANCES INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC. AS THE TROUGH STRENGTHENS...A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS MUCH OF THE REGION ON THURSDAY. DRIER AND COOLER SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS IN PLACE FOR THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 330 PM EDT TUESDAY... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THE BEST INSTABILITY AND SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES THIS AFTERNOON ARE ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. RAISED POPS IN THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...WITH MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. THE LLVL FLOW HAS BECOME MORE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND EAST OF THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS. THE RNK WRF-ARW SEEMS TO CAPTURE THE BETTER POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF CWA THIS EVENING. A COUPLE WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL WORK ACROSS THE REGION INTO THIS EVENING. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN A CONCERN GIVEN THE SLOW MOVEMENT... INCREASING PWAT AND WET GROUND. A STRONGER THUNDERSTORM INTO THIS EVENING COULD PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WIND. ANY CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING TONIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 70 DEGREES IN THE SOUTHEAST. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ARRIVES LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING IN THE NORTHWEST WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS. MODELS LOOKED SIMILAR WITH ANOTHER LATE NIGHT RUN ACROSS THE NORTH. A PROGRESSIVELY DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH SINKING SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL CONTINUE THE UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR OUR REGION ON WEDNESDAY. A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES IN ADVANCE OF THE MAIN TROUGH COMBINED WITH AN INCREASINGLY WARM...MOIST...UNSTABLE AIRMASS...WILL RESULT IN NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WITH HIGH CAPES AND RELATIVELY HIGH PWATS...THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO BE EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. GIVEN THE VERY WET ANTECEDENT SOIL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE PAST TWO WEEKS OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING MAY BE POSSIBLE WEST OF I-81 AND I-77. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THE DAY2 SLIGHT RISK AREA FROM SPC REMAINS JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF OUR AREA WITH POTENTIAL FOR HAIL AND WINDS. PLAYED HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY ON THE COOL SIDE WITH CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WITH READINGS FROM THE MID 70S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE UPPER 80S IN THE PIEDMONT. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 225 PM EDT TUESDAY... MODELS ARE IN SIMILAR CAMPS AT 5H THIS PERIOD WITH TROUGH AND SHORTWAVES. OVERALL...WILL SEE MOST CONVERGENCE SITUATED ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS INTO WRN PA WED EVENING WITH HIGHER POPS IN OUR WV COUNTIES SOUTHWEST TOWARD SMYTH/TAZEWELL. ANOTHER WEAKER SHORTWAVE WORKS ACROSS WRN NC AT THIS TIME AS WELL AND MAY BRING A BIT HIGHER POPS TO THE NC MTNS/FOOTHILLS WHILE THE EAST STAYS SCATTERED. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD FADE SOMEWHAT IN THE LATE EVENING THRU EARLY THURSDAY IN THE EAST BUT REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS INTO THU MORNING AS THE FRONT ARRIVES. THE UPPER PATTERN FAVORS A JUMP IN THE ACTIVITY AND POSSIBLE MINIMUM OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE CWA AROUND THE NEW RIVER VALLEY...BUT MODELS ARE DIFFERENT IN THE THREAT ZONE...SO OVERALL WILL KEEP THE STATUS QUO OF HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS THURSDAY MORNING WITH SOME ENHANCEMENT ACROSS THE PIEDMONT BY THE AFTERNOON. AIRMASS IN THE AFTERNOON IS PRETTY UNSTABLE WITH MUCAPES OF 2-3K J/KG...WHILE BULK SHEAR APPEARS WEAK. CLOUD COVER WILL BE SUCH AT THE HEATING MAY BE LIMITED BUT STILL CANNOT RULE OUT STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS GIVEN THE HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT WITH SOME WET MICROBURSTS POSSIBLE. AS WE HEAD INTO THU NIGHT...THE FRONT EXITS THE CWA...BUT WILL SEE DEEPER MOISTURE LINGER ACROSS OUR SRN CWA. WILL SEE A DRYING TREND AFTER MIDNIGHT IN THE NORTHWEST AND BY FRIDAY ALL AREAS EXCEPT ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST/SRN SECTIONS OF THE CWA...LYH/DAN/SIF/UKF SHOULD BE RAIN FREE WITH INCREASING SUN...AS WELL AS DRIER NORTHERLY FLOW. QPF EXPECTED TO BE HEAVY AT TIMES WITH THUNDERSTORMS...BUT OVERALL AVERAGES SHOULD BE ONE HALF TO ONE INCH. WENT CLOSE TO ECMWF MOS ON THE HIGHS THURSDAY THINKING MORE PRECIP SHOULD HOLD TEMPS DOWN IN THE WEST ESPECIALLY. LOOK FOR HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO NEAR 80 WEST AND MID 80S EAST. FRIDAY SHOULD BE A BIT LESS HUMID IN THE NORTH AND WEST AS TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SIMILAR TO THURSDAY...WITH MID 70S/AROUND 80 WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND MID 80S EAST. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 1225 PM EDT TUESDAY... PATTERN OVER OUR AREA WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED. WE ARE LOOKING AGAIN AT A FRONT SITUATED OVER THE COAST OF NC SOUTHWEST INTO GEORGIA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY TO STAY IN THIS GENERAL AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MEANWHILE...WE HAVE SFC HIGH BUILDING SWD FROM THE NE AND MID ATLANTIC. QUESTION REMAINS WHERE THE BULK OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE WILL LIE. MODEL TRENDS HAVE FAVORED THAT MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE SOMEWHAT DRIER WHILE THE SRN CWA STAYS CLOSER TO THE SFC FRONT AND MORE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. ALOFT...THE TROUGH AXIS LIES ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND SW OVER THE NW GULF OF MEXICO. DURING THIS TIME WILL HAVE TO WATCH HOW TS CHANTAL TRACKS. WPC/NHC SHOWING BY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY THAT CHANTAL WILL MOVE TOWARD EASTERN COAST OF FLORIDA. DURING THIS TIME THE SFC AND LOW LVL FLOW WILL BE OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST INTO OUR AREA AND WILL ENHANCE THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH MONDAY STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THE WETTER DAY. STILL WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH HOW THINGS TREND AS MODELS STILL VARY SOMEWHAT STRENGTH AND POSITION OF UPPER LOW. GOING INTO TUESDAY...THE 00Z ECMWF WEAKENS THE UPPER LOW AS IT MOVES ACROSS OUR CWA WHILE THE LATEST GFS SHOWS UPPER LOW HANGING ON AND STRONG AS IT MOVES INTO NC. GIVEN THIS WILL KEEP AT LEAST A HIGH CHANCE...50 PERCENT FOR SHOWERS. DURING THIS TIME...THE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING BE SEASONAL...WITH HIGHS JUST BELOW NORMAL OVERALL AND LOWS STAYING MILDER. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 635 PM EDT TUESDAY... SLOW MOVING CONVECTION REMAINS DOTTED AROUND THE REGION THIS EVENING WITH MOST COVERAGE STAYING AWAY FROM THE TAF SITES SO FAR. HOWEVER AS ADDED ENERGY TO THE NW APPROACHES...EXPECT SOME INCREASE IN COVERAGE FOR A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING BUT OTHER THAN FOR KBLF/KLWB AND PERHAPS KDAN APPEARS TOO LITTLE TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS EARLY ON. WAVE LOOKS TO DROP SE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT BUT MORESO EARLY WEDNESDAY. LEFTOVER SHRA/TSRA AHEAD OF THIS COULD AFFECT THE SE WVA SITES AGAIN LATER TONIGHT AND OUT TO THE BLUE RIDGE DURING WED MORNING. UPPER HEIGHTS WILL DECREASE A BIT MORE ON WEDNESDAY AS THIS NEXT WAVE ALOFT SLIDES ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR BETTER COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH ALL AREAS LIKELY SEEING AT LEAST A PERIOD OF MVFR IF NOT IFR AT TIMES. THUS INCLUDED A PERIOD OF PREVAILING SHRA WITH VICINITY TSRA AT SITES FROM THE BLUE RIDGE WEST...AND A VCTS MENTION ACROSS THE EAST THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS FADE WED NIGHT FOR MORE FOG/STRATUS BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT ARRIVES FROM THE NW ON THURSDAY. THIS WILL AGAIN PRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF POOR FLYING CONDITIONS WITH MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE FRONT THU INTO THU NIGHT. SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR DRYING AND WIDESPREAD VFR MAY EXIST ON FRIDAY...AT LEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN SITES...PENDING EXACTLY HOW FAR TO THE SE THE SURFACE FRONT MAKES IT. OTRW LOW CONFIDENCE WITH POTENTIAL TO SEE MOISTURE TO GET HUNG UP AND THEN RETURN BACK NORTH BY THE WEEKEND WITH ADDED SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLE INTO SUNDAY AT THIS POINT. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
