NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 26, 12:31 PM EST, 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 131 PM EDT WED JUN 26 2013 .SYNOPSIS... BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE A WARM MOIST SUBTROPICAL FEED OF AIR INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION THIS AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STALL SOMEWHERE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION THIS WEEKEND AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE BERMUDA HIGH WHICH IS NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE VERY MUCH FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THIS REGIME WILL PROMOTE A DAILY THREAT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1030 AM WEDNESDAY... DECREASING POPS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE MORNING...THEN AMPING UP POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST (MTN EMPIRE) WHERE ACTIVITY IS APPROACHING FROM KENTUCKY. LINEAR TIMING HAS THESE STORMS ENTERING AROUND NOON. LOW CLOUDS ALONG WESTERN SLOPES SHOULD KEEP THESE STORMS FROM BECOMING TO STRONG THROUGH THE MORNING. WESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS MAY HAVE THESE STORMS DECREASING IN AREAL COVERAGE THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING...THEN RE-FIRING TOWARDS THE BLUE RIDGE AND/OR FOOTHILLS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...CAPE VALUES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING ARE IN THE RANGE OF 1500 (NORTH) TO NEAR 3000 (SOUTH). EVEN THOUGH STORM COVERAGE MAY DECREASE...A FEW MAY BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE CROSSING THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE INTO THE GRAYSON/NW NC HIGHLANDS AND SOUTHERN NEW RIVER VALLEY. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...AS OF 500 AM WEDNESDAY... SHOWERS/STORMS ONGOING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING PER UPPER LEVEL TROF OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. MYRIAD OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS (MCS) HAVE EVOLVED OVER TIME WITH CLUSTERS OF STORMS AND LINE SEGMENTS MOVING EAST ACROSS IL/IN/OH/PA. THIS MCS LADEN ENVIRONMENT WHICH RESIDES JUST UPSTREAM OF OUR AREA CREATES FORECAST TIMING CHALLENGES BEYOND WHAT ANY MODEL CAN RESOLVE. THE ENVIRONMENT TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL CERTAINLY SUPPORT DEEP CONVECTION...BUT DOUBT MODELS WILL BE ABLE TO TIME EVERY LITTLE MCS THAT GETS GENERATED. AS SUCH...HAVE TO TAKE MORE OF A SHOT GUN APPROACH FOR POPS UNTIL RADAR TRENDS SUPPORT OTHERWISE. WE THINK ITS A GIVEN THAT SHOWERS/STORMS WILL FORM IN THE USUAL PLACES THIS AFTERNOON...WITH FOCUS ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE EARLY-MID AFTERNOON AND INTO THE PIEDMONT THIS EVENING. TIMING OF THE ACTIVITY THAT MOVES IN FROM THE OHIO VALLEY WILL DEPEND LARGELY ON HOW INTACT THE MORNING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND ASSOCIATED MESOSCALE VORTICIES (MCV) PROPAGATE THIS AFTERNOON. CORFIDI VECTOR FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON SUGGEST ANY UPSTREAM ACTIVITY WOULD BE MOVING ON A 270-290 DEGREE TRAJECTORY...THUS WE COULD VERY WELL BE LOOKING AT THE ARRIVAL OF SOMETHING FROM THAT GENERAL DIRECTION...ENTERING OUR NORTHWESTERN CWA AS EARLY AS THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS SUGGEST A LATER TIMING...OF AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...BUT I WOULD NOT PUT A LOT OF CREDENCE ON THE SYNOPTIC MODELS IN THIS SORT OF SITUATION. LOCAL ENVIRONMENT...PER FULL INSOLATION TODAY...SHOULD YIELD MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY. THIS WILL FUEL PULSE STORMS FOR THE ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS INOF THE BLUE RIDGE AND LEE TROF CONVERGENCE...IN ADDITION TO ANY ORGANIZED MCS ACTIVITY THAT MOVES DOWNSTREAM FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. THAT SAID...THE ACTIVITY THAT FORMS LEE OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND MOVES INTO THE PIEDMONT SHOULD FADE WITH LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING. HOWEVER...ANY ORGANIZED ACTIVITY THAT MOVES DOWNSTREAM FROM THE OHIO VALLEY WILL NOT...AS IT WILL BE DRIVEN BY STRONGER DYNAMICS FROM THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROF. FOR TONIGHT...MAINTAINED SOMEWHAT HIGHER THREAT FOR STORMS...ESP THE NORTHWESTERN CWA...PER INCREASING THREAT THAT MCS RELATED FEATURES WILL REACH OUR CWA EVEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPERATURES TODAY AND TONIGHT...VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST 48 HOURS. USED PERSISTENCE. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 430 AM EDT WEDNESDAY... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD ON THURSDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES EASTWARD NEAR THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DESPITE THE SPOTTY CONVECTION DEVELOPING DURING LATE MORNING...BELIEVE WE WILL START THE DAY WITH ENOUGH SUNSHINE AND HEATING TO ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S ACROSS THE EAST...WHILE HIGHS WILL REACH INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. THE HEATING...WHEN COMBINED WITH CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...WILL ALLOW SOME STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE...AND BELIEVE WE WILL SEE A SLIGHTLY STRONGER SEVERE THREAT ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS THURSDAY EVENING...WITH BOTH WIND AND HAIL AS PRIMARY THREATS. AS WE APPROACH LATE EVENING...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO WANE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER THE EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO STALL ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN THURSDAY NIGHT...PROVIDING FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. ON FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY NORTHWESTERLY AS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BECOMES ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE ROCKIES...WHILE AN UPPER LOW SETTLES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. AS SUCH...EXPECT ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AFTERNOONS AS HEATING INCREASES...WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNSET BEFORE DIMINISHING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. SOME STORMS WILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE...AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...IN ADDITION TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. PATCHY DENSE FOG WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE EACH NIGHT IN THE RIVER VALLEYS AND ACROSS AREAS WHICH RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL THE EVENING BEFORE. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 315 PM EDT TUESDAY... AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL RESIDE OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES FOR SUNDAY...WHILE A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HOLDS OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND THE MID ATLANTIC. BECAUSE OF THIS OVERALL PATTERN...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK...AS SMALL DISTURBANCES PASS OVERHEAD AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE TROUGH. CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS DUE TO DIURNAL HEATING...FAVORABLE DYNAMICS ALOFT...AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...WILL REMAIN PREVALENT IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS...BEFORE EVENTUAL TAPERING TO SHOWERS DURING THE NIGHTS AND MORNINGS. BOTH THE 12Z GFS AND THE 00Z ECMWF DEPICT THE TROUGH RETROGRADING SLIGHTLY BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THUS...THIS TREND OF UNSETTLED WEATHER DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A CLEAR END IN SIGHT INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK. FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER...DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S...AND THE OVERHEAD TROUGH...WILL KEEP THE DIURNAL RANGE LIMITED WITH REGARD TO TEMPERATURES...WHICH WERE KEPT IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LATEST HPC GUIDANCE. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 110 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... BROKEN AREA OF CONVECTION SLOWLY MOVING INTO WESTERN AREAS ATTM WITH GREATEST IMPACT TO THE KBLF/KLWB SITES CURRENTLY AND PERHAPS KBCB/KROA AFTER 19Z/2PM. THESE SHRA/TSRA WILL LIKELY BRING A PERIOD OF MVFR/OCNL IFR TO THE WESTERN LOCATIONS THIS AFTERNOON WITH LESS COVERAGE FARTHER EAST WHERE WILL CONTINUE WITH A VCTS MENTION. GUSTY WINDS ALSO POSSIBLE SO INCLUDING BRIEF GUSTS WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS ESPCLY NEAR KBLF IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. IF THE AREA OF CONVECTION ORGANIZES MORE THEN COULD BE LOOKING AT MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR FARTHER EAST WITH SHRA LINGERING INTO THE EVENING...BUT TOO IFFY TO EXTEND PREVAILING TSRA COVERAGE TO KDAN ATTM. OTRW EXPECTING SHOWERS TO SLOWLY FADE AFTER SUNSET GIVING WAY TO PATCHY FOG ESPCLY WHERE AFTERNOON RAINFALL OCCURRED. HOWEVER NEXT UPSTREAM MCS POSES THE THREAT FOR ADDED SHRA/TSRA AFTER MIDNIGHT AND ESPCLY OVER THE WEST BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY. FASTER MOVEMENT THAN PROGGED COULD CAUSE SHRA TO RUN EARLIER THAN MOST BUFKIT MODEL PROGS. THUS KEEPING A PREVAILING SHRA ACROSS SE WVA LATE TONIGHT WITH VCTS MENTION AS TSRA POSSIBLE GIVEN UPPER SUPPORT DESPITE BEING LATE AT NIGHT. WILL CARRY THIS PROBABLE BAND OF CONVECTION EAST TO KBCB EARLY THURSDAY AND THEN ONLY INCLUDE A VCSH ELSW IN THE MORNING WHERE CONFIDENCE IS LOWER IN SEEING THE SYSTEM CROSS THE BLUE RIDGE FOR NOW. ONCE THIS PASSES EXPECTING MOSTLY VFR IN SCTD/BKN CU NEAR OR AFTER THE END OF THE VALID TAF PERIOD THURSDAY 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 MONDAY. 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. && .EQUIPMENT...
