AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
343 PM EDT MON JUN 10 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. IN ADVANCE OF
THIS FRONT A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL PREVAIL ALLOWING FOR
STORMS TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWS
THE FRONT FOR MID WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPS IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT MONDAY...
PREFRONTAL RAIN MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW BREAKS
IN THE CLOUDS HAS DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE BRING A STRONG TO
SEVERE STORM THREAT ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...MORE SO
OVER THE PIEDMONT. MODEL HODOGRAPHS SUPPORT ROTATION FOR
SUPERCELLS OUT EAST...BUT COULD LINE OUT INTO STRAIGHT-LINE WIND
THREAT THIS EVENING. IF ENOUGH DESTABILIZATION CAN OCCUR...AN
ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE. A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL
10 PM FOR COUNTIES ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
A LINE OF STRONG SHOWERS CAME ACROSS BLACKSBURG BETWEEN 2PM-3PM. THIS
STORM HAD 40 MPH WINDS AND DROPPED 0.64 INCHES OF RAIN. TODAYS
STORMS ARE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST AT 30-40 MPH AND HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE RAINFALL RATES OF AN INCH PER HOUR. SINCE THESE
STORMS ARE MOVING WITH LITTLE ACTIVITY BEHIND THEM...FLASHING
FLOODING IS A SECONDARY THREAT. WILL MAINTAIN FLASH FLOOD WATCH
UNTIL 6PM FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILL COUNTIES AND ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE RAIN FOR ABOUT 5-7 HOURS BEFORE THE
COLD FRONT PRECIPITATION ENTERS THE AREA TONIGHT. THE RAIN INTENSITY
OF THIS BAND SHOULD NOT POISE ANY HYDRO PROBLEMS LATER TONIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT MONDAY...
SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THAT THE UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM SPINNING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TODAY MOVES OVER OUR FORECAST
AREA BY 12Z TUESDAY AND QUICKLY EXITS TOMORROW MORNING. WITH DEEPEST
MOISTURE EAST OUR AREA BY THIS TIME...ONLY A FEW MORNING SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE FAR EAST. DOWNSLOPING WINDS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO
WARM WELL INTO THE 80S...EXCEPT IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS RETURN WEDNESDAY AS LOW LEVEL WINDS BACK
USHERING IN HIGHER DEWPOINTS. THIS...IN COMBINATION WITH A WEAK
SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH WV/NE VA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ON THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE...AND DIFFERENTIAL HEATING MAY
TRIGGER WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS.
BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THURSDAY AS A MORE VIGOROUS
UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM ENTERS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE
GENERATES A SFC LOW THAT MOVES EAST FROM WV TO NRN VA. WHILE BEST
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND UPPER DYNAMICS WILL BE NORTH OF OUR AREA.
GOOD INSTABILITY AND AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET MAY ALLOW A
COMPLEX OF STORMS TO MOVE SOUTH INTO OUR AREA. PLACED HIGHEST
POPS IN THE NORTH CLOSEST TO THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE.
850MB TEMPS SURGING ABV 20C WILL PUSH HIGHS INTO 90S IN THE EAST FOR
THURSDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT MONDAY...
THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT DEAMPLIFYING THE UPPER
AIR PATTERN THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD. WITH THE AXIS OF THE UPPER
TROF EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA...PERIODIC WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE NORTHWEST FLOW AND TIMING OF EACH OF THESE WAVE WILL BE
DIFFICULT. 12Z GFS AND 00Z CANADIAN MODEL DEVELOP LIGHT PRECIP WITH
ONE UPPER LEVEL WAVE ON FRIDAY...BUT WITH LIMITED LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...FEEL MEASURABLE PRECIP WILL BE DIFFICULT. A LARGE SURFACE
HIGH WILL BRING DRY CONDITIONS AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH
MIDDAY SUNDAY.
AS THE HIGH SHIFTS EAST LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
RETURNS AND AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE FROM THE NORTHWEST APPROACHES.
DEPENDING ON HOW FAST THE MOISTURE RETURNS...PRECIP COULD RETURN
AS EARLY AS SUNDAY AFTERNOON...BUT LEANED TOWARD THE 00Z ECMWF
SOLUTION OF STARTING PRECIPITATION SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WHEN
BETTER UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT ARRIVES.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM EDT MONDAY...
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT WILL
BRING SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. PREDOMINANT CEILINGS WILL BE MVFR WITH MOUNTAIN RIDGES
OBSCURED...AND LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
THUNDERSTORMS. ONE BAND OF SHOWERS HAS EXITED THE AREA LATE THIS
MORNING...WHILE ANOTHER BAND ENTERS THE MOUNTAINS. IF THE AREA
COULD SEE ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON...THIS SECOND
BAND OF SHOWER COULD HAVE ROTATION WITHIN THE STRONGER CELLS.
SUPERCELLS COULD PRODUCE AN ISOLATED TORNADO EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...THEN LINE OUT INTO A STRAIGHT LINE WIND THREAT. THIS
SECOND BAND OF SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO EXIT SW VA/SE WV (BLF/LWB)
AROUND 200P...THE BLUE RIDGE AROUND 500P...AND THEN THE PIEDMONT
BY 800P. THERE WILL THEN BE A 5-7 HOUR WINDOW WITH NO RAIN AND
LOW CLOUDS IN THE AREA BEFORE THE FRONT/COLD POOL PRECIPITATION
MOVES OVER THE REGION. THE AREA WILL SEE AN END TO THE RAIN AND
IMPROVING CONDITIONS AFTER 800A TUESDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD FINALLY BRING A RETURN TO VFR BY WEDNESDAY
BEFORE YET ANOTHER FRONT COULD BRING MORE SUB- VFR IN SHRA/TSRA ON
THURSDAY.
