Flash Flooding and Hail in Virginia, July 12, 2013

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
708 PM EDT FRI JUL 12 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LOW PRESSURE OVER WEST VIRGINIA WILL DRIFT WEST
TONIGHT...THEN THEN SLOWLY DRIFT WEST INTO KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE
DURING THE WEEKEND. MEANWHILE...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BUILD
WESTWARD FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC INTO THE MID- ATLANTIC REGION
BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BUT SHOULD DIMINISH SOME NEXT WEEK AND
BECOME MORE ISOLATED AND TYPICAL OF SUMMER EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 655 PM EDT FRIDAY...

DEVELOPMENT OF A GENEROUS COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE REGION IS NOT PANNING OUT
CURRENTLY. HAVE GREATLY REDUCED THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER...ANY ISOLATED SHOWER OR
STORMS THAT DOES FORM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN OVER AN ALREADY SATURATED GROUND. MODEL GUIDANCE STILL
IS OFFERING A SOLTUION THAT BRINGS LOW LEVEL WINDS MORE AROUND TO
THE SOUTHEAST OR EAST BY LATE TONIGHT...ALONG WITH A WAVE OF
MOISTURE THAT PRODUCES PRECIPITATION ACROSS MOSTLY EASTERN...BUT
ALSO PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE REGION. ANY
HEAVY CELL WITHIN THIS EXPECTED PRECIPITATION WILL ALSO HAVE THE
POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. WILL ALLOW THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO CONTINUE...BUT ITS TIMING EMPHASIS WILL NOW
BE TOWARD THE TAIL END OF THE EVENT...WITH FLASH FLOODING DURING
THE FRONT END CONFINED TO VERY ISOLATED ACTIVITY THROUGH THE
EVENING.

HAVE ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMPERATURE...DEW POINT...SKY COVER AND WIND
CONDITIONS BASED UPON THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND EXPECTED TRENDS
THROUGH THE EVNEING HOURS.

AS OF 320 PM EDT FRIDAY...

FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES UNTIL 8 AM SATURDAY MORNING.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH HEAVY RAINS
WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. WITH PWAT STILL RELATIVELY HIGH...LOW
FFG(LESS THAN 1.0 INCH/HR IN SOME COUNTY) AND VERY WET
GROUND (RECENT RAINS)...THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING
CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. HRRR AND RAP
FOCUS CONVECTION ON THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE AND EASTWARD THIS
EVENING...THEN TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. GFS AND
NAM SEEM TO KEEP THE AXIS OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION FURTHER EAST.
KEEP THE HIGHEST POPS THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...THEN DECREASE
POPS OVERNIGHT. EXPECTED SHOWERS TO LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS WITH AREAS OF FOG. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM
THE UPPER 50S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE UPPER 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST.
ON SATURDAY...THE CLOSED MID/UPR LOW WILL BE OVER KY AND IS
PROGGED TO DRIFT W REACHING THE MISS RIVER VALLEY BY 00Z SUNDAY.
PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND WEAK MID LEVEL VORTICITY CENTERS MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING CREATING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOOD
WATCHES MAY BE ISSUED THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT FRIDAY...

BY SUNDAY MORNING...MOST OF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE POSITIONED SOMEWHERE IN
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH BUILDING IN THE MID-
ATLANTIC REGION.  WHILE THE DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL BE PULLED WEST OF
OUR FORECAST AREA...A WEAK SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW AND WEAK WAVES
MOVING UNDER THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH WILL
BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. PLACED THE HIGHEST POPS ALONG
THOSE FAVORED UPSLOPE EAST FACING SLOPES ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE
RIDGE.

DRIER AIR FINALLY ARRIVES SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS PWATS FALL TO
UNDER 1.5 INCHES UNDER THE EXPANDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. WHILE
ISOLATED CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS...MOST AREAS WILL
BE DRY. WITH THE BUILDING RIDGE AND WARMING 850MB TEMPS...LEANED
TOWARD THE WARMER GFS GUIDANCE FOR FORECAST HIGHS.

CONTINUED VERY WARM TUESDAY...WITH SLIGHTLY INCREASED COVERAGE IN
SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS AS PWATS INCREASE AND THE HINT
OF A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE DRIFTS SOUTH UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT FRIDAY...

THE LONG RANGE DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT AN LARGE UPPER RIDGE...AS STRONG AS 598DM...WILL OVER
OUR FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD...WITH THE RIDGE
DAMPENING BY LATE IN THE WEEK AS A BROAD TROF FORMS IN EASTERN
CANADA.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL WITH GEFS ENSEMBLES SHOWING 850MB
TEMPS 1-2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABV AVERAGE AND 500MB HEIGHTS ALSO 1-2
SD ABOVE AVERAGE. INCREASED HIGHS A DEGREE OR TWO DURING THE LONG
TERM PERIOD. WHILE THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS LATE THE WEEK...A MORE
WESTERLY (DOWNSLOPING) COMPONENT TO THE WIND WILL KEEP TEMPS ABV
NORMAL.

EXPECT PRECIP TO BE DRIVEN BY DAYTIME HEATING...AND MAINLY CONFINED
TO THE MOUNTAINS. PWATS INCREASE FROM 1.5 TO GREATER THAN 2.0 INCHES
BY LATE IN THE WEEK...SO WHILE THE COVERAGE WILL BE WIDELY SCATTERED
SOME LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT FRIDAY...

CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE AREA SCHEDULED TO RETROGRADE TO MIDWEST
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SCT-BKN MVFR CLOUDS WITH POCKETS OF IFR
IN CONVECTION AND AREAS OF FOG.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH HEAVY RAINS
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. BELIEVE THE TRENDS WILL BE
SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS DAYS IN A WEAKLY FORCED ENVIRONMENT. KLWB
HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM THIS AFTERNOON.

AS UPPER LOW BEGINS ITS WWD TREK...A SHORTWAVE WILL DRIFT OVER
THE AREA TONIGHT WITH FLOW BECOMING SELY. THIS SHOULD KEEP
SHOWERS IN THE AREA FOR THE OVERNIGHT. MODELS ALSO SHOW MOISTURE
SUCKING BACK WWD AS THE LOW MOVES...AND THIS SHOULD LEAD TO
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT.

.AVIATION EXTENDED...

DEEP EASTERLY FLOW CONTINUES INTO SATURDAY WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
EXPECTED. SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY EXPECT A DAILY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH EARLY MORNING IFR
BR/FG...BUT OVERALL IMPROVED CONDITIONS WITH MUCH MORE VFR THAN
CURRENT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 705 PM EDT FRIDAY...

FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...BUT OTHER
THAN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA...THE FOCUS FOR THE
FLASH FLOOD CONCERN HAS SHIFTED TO LATE TONIGHT WHEN PRECIPITATION
IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ACROSS EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA. THIS
EVENING...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN
PARTS OF THE WATCH AREA MAY PRODUCE ENOUGH HEAVY RAIN TO PROMPT
FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IF THE CELLS ARE SLOW MOVING.

AS OF 120 PM EDT FRIDAY...

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH 8 AM EDT SATURDAY. GIVEN
THE EXPECTED WET PATTERN...IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO EXTEND INTO
SUNDAY MORNING...BUT HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE THIS ON A DAY-BY-DAY
BASIS. WE WILL EVENTUALLY GET OUT OF THIS PATTERN...BUT IT COULD
BE MONDAY BEFORE THAT HAPPENS IN EARNEST. IN THE MEANTIME...FFG
VALUES ARE EXTREMELY LOW AND ALTHOUGH INTENSE/ROBUST CONVECTION
SHOULD BE LESS WIDESPREAD TODAY...RAIN WILL BE OCCURRING OVER
AREAS THAT ARE EXCESSIVELY SATURATED AND SIMPLY CANNOT TAKE ANY
MORE RAINFALL AT ALL.

RIVER FLOOD WARNING IS CANCELLED FOR THE DAN RIVER NEAR DANVILLE.

FLOOD WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVERS IN
VIRGINIA...DAN RIVER NEAR PACES...MINOR FLOODING IS FORECAST.
MINOR FLOODING IS ALSO OCCURING ALONG THE ROANOKE RIVER AT
RANDOLPH...DAN RIVER AT SOUTH BOSTON. REFER TO LATEST FLOOD
WARNINGS...RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS AND FLOOD STATEMENTS.
