NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 2:27 PM EST, 3 hours 3 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 327 PM EDT MON JUN 24 2013 .SYNOPSIS... A TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN CONTINUES WITH HIGH PRESSURE SITUATED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST FLOW KEEPING US WARM AND HUMID WITH A DAILY THREAT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH AT LEAST MIDWEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE IN THE WEEK WITH MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY. THE FRONT LOOKS TO SLOW DOWN CROSSING THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND KEEPING SHOWERS AND STORMS AROUND INTO AT LEAST SUNDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 230 PM EDT MONDAY... WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION LOOKS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA INTO THIS EVENING WITH PERHAPS A GRADUAL MIGRATION OF STORM DEVELOPMENT OFF INTO THE NE/EASTERN COUNTIES WHERE BETTER HEATING/INSTAB EXISTS AND A WEAK VORT TAIL WILL BE PASSING ACROSS. THIS SIMILAR TO THE LATEST HRRR AND RAP SOLUTIONS WHICH END UP WITH MOST COVERAGE OVER THE EAST OR SE AS THE WEAK CAP ALOFT LOOKS TO GIVE WAY BEFORE LOSS OF HEATING. THINK WESTERN AREAS MAY ACTUALLY SEE LESS GIVEN CLOUDS AND LOWER CAPE DUE TO EARLIER SHRA SO TRIMMING POPS BACK A BIT FAR WEST EARLY ON WHILE GOING WITH CONTINUED SCATTERED COVERAGE EAST. AGAIN WITH LACK OF MUCH UPPER SUPPORT...EXPECT COVERAGE TO BECOME MORE ISOLATED THIS EVENING WITH SOME FOG DEVELOPING VALLEYS AND WHERE DOWNPOURS OCCURRED EARLIER. SOME ADDED SHRA THEN POSSIBLE AGAIN LATER TONIGHT AS THE WEAK UPSTREAM VORT OVER KY SLIDES EAST AND DAMPENS OUT ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS BY MORNING. SINCE GUIDANCE NOT LATCHING ONTO MUCH LIFT WITH THIS FEATURE...WILL ONLY KEEP A TOKEN POP IN FAR WEST FOR NOW AND LEAVE ELSW DRY LATER ON. LOWS A BIT MORE WARM/MUGGY OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPS ONLY DROPPING INTO THE MID 60S TO AROUND 70 WITH LOW 60S ONLY IN THE DEEPEST VALLEYS. 5H WEAKNESS SLOWS ACROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY WITH LOW LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW TURNING MORE SW DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE EASTERN LEE TROF SLIDES FARTHER EAST. FCST SOUNDINGS ARE EVEN MORE MOIST THAN TODAY WITH LITTLE CAP ALTHOUGH QUESTIONS WITH THE DEGREE OF ORGANIZATION UNDER SUCH WEAK FLOW ALOFT. THINK ENOUGH THETA-E SUPPORT TO AT LEAST HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED POPS BUT WITH MORE MULTICELL CLUSTERS POSSIBLE ESPLY MOUNTAINS WHERE WILL BE A BIT COOLER ALOFT. LOOKS LIKE WEAK DOWNSLOPE MAY CAUSE A DELAY IN TSRA EAST WITH MORE OF A LATE AFTERNOON SCENARIO AIDED BY WESTERN COVERAGE MOVING EAST AFTER SOME LOW LEVEL BACKING HAS DEVELOPED. FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE TREND OF HIGH CHANCE POPS BUT MAY NEED TO GO HIGHER LATER PENDING UPDATED MODEL SOLUTIONS. WITH 85H TEMPS A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER AND LIGHT WEST WINDS...WOULD EXPECT HIGHS TO TOP 90 SE...AND HEAD WELL INTO THE 80S OUTSIDE OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...CLOSER TO THE WARMER MAV MOS. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 305 PM EDT MONDAY... ZONAL FLOW AND A LEE TROUGH WILL START THE WEATHER PATTERN TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS PATTERN WILL HAVE FADING DIURNAL THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EVENING WITH PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING WHERE IT RAINED DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. THE LEE TROUGH WILL HELP INITIATE SCATTERED CONVECTION AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. PWATS ARE AROUND NORMAL WITH MOISTURE ADVECTION COMING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. WITH MOISTURE AND HEATING...A FEW STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CORFIDI VECTORS ARE ALSO VERY WEAK TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVING/ANCHORED CREATING A VERY LOCALIZED FLASH FLOOD THREAT. ONCE AGAIN...SHOWERS WILL FADE AFTER SUNSET WITH A FEW HANGING ON UNTIL MIDNIGHT WITH LINGER INSTABILITIES. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN WARMER THAN NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD BY 5 DEGREES OR SO. OVERNIGHT LOWS GENERALLY IN THE 60S WITH DAY TIME HIGHS IN THE 80S...LOW 90S IN THE PIEDMONT. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 230 PM EDT MONDAY... AN OCCLUDED LOW WILL WORKS ITS WAY TO THE EAST THURSDAY FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO LAKE ERIE. WITH A LEE TROUGH IN THE EAST AND AN APPROACHING WEAK FRONT/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE WEST...MORE AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HAIL AND STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. PWATS INCREASE TO 2 STANDARD DEVIATION ABOVE NORMAL...MAKING FLASH FLOOD A THREAT AS WELL. THE FRONT AND LEE TROUGH BECOME ONE ON FRIDAY. CONVERGENCE IN THIS SURFACE TROUGH SHOULD GENERATE STRONG CONVECTION...MAINLY OVER THE PIEDMONT. NOT MUCH OF AN AIRMASS CHANGE AS THE FRONT JOINS THE LEE TROUGH...THEREFORE CAN NOT RULE OUT THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS FRIDAY. A STRONGER FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE REGION ON SATURDAY. THIS FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF AREA-WIDE CHANCES OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. LOW CONFIDENCE ON FRONTAL TIMING WITH A STRONG BLOCKING RIDGE IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC THROUGH THE PERIOD. EVEN IF THE FRONT TRACKS ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY...RAIN CHANCES WILL STILL EXIST SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THE BLOCKING RIDGE COULD STALL THE FRONT INLAND OF THE EAST COAST...POSSIBLY INTO THE PIEDMONT. WAVES WILL TRACK ALONG THE FRONT SUNDAY AND MONDAY KEEPING THE CHANCE OF RAIN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARMER THAN NORMAL INTO THE WEEKEND. THE MORE AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS DURING A GIVEN DAY WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL. && .AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 110 PM EDT MONDAY SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA CLUSTERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE EARLIER MID DECK. EXPECT THIS COVERAGE TO SLOWLY INCREASE WHILE PUSHING SLOWLY EAST UNTIL FADING OUT EARLY THIS EVENING. HOWEVER STILL LOW CONFIDENCE IN WHETHER OR NOT ANY TAF LOCATION WILL EXPERIENCE A SHRA DIRECTLY BUT ENOUGH OF A THREAT TO INCLUDE A VCTS MENTION AT MOST SPOTS WITH A PERIOD OF PREVAILING MVFR VSBY AT KBLF THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. ANY MORE ORGANIZED SHOWER OR STORM CLUSTER THAT DOES COME IN THE VICINITY OF THE TAF LOCATIONS MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF BRIEF IFR CIGS/VSBY WHICH WILL TEMPO AS NEEDED. MOST OF THE DAYTIME ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING SHOWER ACTIVITY WEST OF THE MTNS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK MID LEVEL WAVE THAT IS MOVING EAST ACROSS KENTUCKY. THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY MAY REACH KBLF AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...BUT WILL KEEP OUT OF THE TAF FCST ATTM UNTIL CAN BE MORE CERTAIN OF TIMING GIVEN QUICK DISSIPATION OF SHRA OF LATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING. OTRW APPEARS FOG WILL BE A BIT MORE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT GIVEN HIGHER DEWPOINTS AND MORE RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM AFTERNOON CONVECTION. EXPECT A PERIOD OF MVFR AT MOST SITES EXCLUDING KROA...AND PERHAPS KBLF WHILE KLWB/KBCB LOOK TO DROP INTO IFR LEVELS WITH SOME LOW STRATUS AROUND LATE TONIGHT. LOW CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE BY MID MORNING TUE...FOLLOWED BY MORE SCTD/BKN VFR CU AND DEVELOPING SHRA/TSRA AS A WEAK IMPULSE ALOFT PUSHES ACROSS. WEST WIND MAY CAUSE LESS COVERAGE EARLY ON WITH MORE ORGANIZED TSRA POSSIBLE BEYOND THE VALID TAF PERIOD TUE AFTERNOON. .AVIATION EXTENDED... WE WILL BE TRANSITIONING FROM A FLAT UPPER RIDGE TO A BLOCKY PATTERN WITH AN EASTERN CONUS TROF/WESTERN CONUS RIDGE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. SFC HIGH OFF THE EAST COAST WILL KEEP WARM AND MOIST AIR OVER THE REGION WITH A SERIES OF WAVES RIPPLING THROUGH THE FLOW. THIS WILL PRIMARILY LEAVE US WITH AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN A WEAKLY FORCED CONVECTIVE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH MIDWEEK. EXPECT A DIURNAL PATTERN OF CONVECTION WITH VFR IN THE MORNING...THEN MVFR WITH SHRA/TSRA IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVE...THEN POSSIBLE IFR WITH NOCTURNAL FOG/STRATUS. LOOKING LIKE LATTER PORTION OF THE WEEK WILL BE MORE ACTIVE. AS THE PATTERN FINALLY BECOMES MORE AMPLIFIED AND THE ERN TROF SINKS DOWN INTO THE REGION...IT SHOULD PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH BETTER AVIATION CONDITIONS THEREAFTER. EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE UNTIL THURSDAY WHEN LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD BEGINS TO INCREASE AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT. BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS LOOKS TO BE ON THURSDAY AS WELL WITH A POSSIBLE LINE AHEAD OF THE FRONT THRUSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. && .EQUIPMENT... AS OF 1225 PM EDT SUNDAY...
