AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1046 AM EDT THU JUN 13 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION TODAY BRINGING
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS INTO THE EVENING. MUCH COOLER AND DRIER
AIR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1040 AM EDT THURSDAY...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ON LAST NIGHT'S STORMS
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THIS MORNING. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA BETWEEN 11A-01P TODAY. THESE STORMS ARE
CURRENTLY NOT SEVERE BUT DO CONTAIN WIND GUST UP TO 40
MPH...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND PEA SIZE HAIL. THESE STORMS WILL
ADVANCE EAST OVER THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND
COULD BECOME STRONGER MOVING INTO HIGHER INSTABILITIES. THE MORE
WIDESPREAD THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL COME WITH THE COLD FRONT.
THIS COLD FRONT IS JUST NOW ENTERING WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA AT 1030
AM. UNLESS THIS FRONT PICKS UP SPEED...IT WILL ARRIVE IN SE WV/SW VA
AROUND 300 PM. ONCE THIS FRONT GETS CLOSER TO THE AREA...IT SHOULD
PICK UP SPEED AND JUMP TO THE LEE TROUGH IN THE EAST. A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS LIKELY TO BE ISSUED FOR THIS AFTERNOON IN TO
THIS EVENING. AS OF RIGHT NOW...THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD FOR A WATCH
WILL BE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. PORTIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS COULD ALSO
BE INCLUDED IN THE WATCH DEPENDING ON AFTERNOON DESTABILIZATION.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AS OF 440 AM EDT THURSDAY...

WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWED TWO WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVES CROSSING THE
GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING. AT THE SURFACE...A SQUALL LINE WAS
CROSSING INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHWEST WEST VIRGINIA.
THIS WAS WELL AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDED FROM
INDIANA INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. A WARM FRONT WAS ACROSS OHIO
INTO SOUTHERN MARYLAND.

MODELS REMAINED SIMILAR IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COMING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. AT THIS
TIME THE MOST UNSTABLE AIR EXTENDED FROM WEST VIRGINIA INTO
KENTUCKY. DOWNDRAFT CONVECTIVE AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENERGY AHEAD OF
THE STORMS HAD BEEN AROUND THE 1200 J/KG RANGE FOR SINCE MIDNIGHT.
THE LOW LEVEL JET HAD BEEN INCREASING OVERNIGHT FROM THE WEST
WITH SPEEDS NOW INTO THE 40-50 KNOT RANGE...AND 850-300 MB WINDS
WERE FROM THE WEST AROUND 50 KNOTS.

WITH THE DEEP WEST WIND...STORMS WILL LIKELY WEAKEN AS THEY CROSS
INTO THE MOUNTAINS AND THE ADJACENT EAST SLOPES OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. BUT ENOUGH HEATING BY THIS AFTERNOON IN THE
PIEDMONT...MAINLY EAST OF A LYNCHBURG TO REIDSVILLE LINE THAT
THUNDERSTORMS WILL RE-INTENSIFY OR RE-DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON.
BEST PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS IN THE FAR
WEST AND FAR EAST PARTS OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA.

FRONT WILL CROSS THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 8AM AND 8PM. WINDS WILL
BE GUSTY OUT OF THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. MODELS
SHOWED PRESSURE RISES OF 3 TO 5 MB PER 6 HOURS BEHIND THE FRONT
WITH 30 TO 40 KNOT 850 MB WINDS. STRONG GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BRING IN A COOLER AIR MASS WITH 850 MB
TEMPERATURES DOWN TO +10 BY 12Z FRIDAY AND SURFACE DEW POINTS INTO
THE 50S AND LOWER 60S.

LEANED TOWARD BIAS CORRECTED MAV GUIDANCE FOR MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES TODAY AND A BLEND OR MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR LOWS
TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM EDT THURSDAY...

ANOMALOUS H5 TROUGH DRIVES H85 TEMPS BELOW 10C INTO SE WEST VA FOR
FRIDAY. JUST ENOUGH LLVL MOISTURE IN THE MODEL SOUNDINGS FOR SOME
MOUNTAIN STRATO CU ACROSS SE WEST VA...WHICH WILL PROBABLY MIX OUT
LATE DAY. SOME SPOTS ACROSS SE WEST VA MAY NOT REACH 70F. A BREEZY
DAY WITH SOME GUSTS TO 30 MPH WITH MUCH LESS CLOUDINESS ELSEWHERE.
AFTER A CHILLY SATURDAY MORNING THE DEEP BUT SKINNY TROUGH IS GONE
BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND WAA ENSUES. THE UPPER PATTERN WILL REMAIN
ZONAL THIS WEEKEND AS AN UPPER RIDGE MOVES EAST AND EXPANDS FROM THE
GULF COAST TO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. DISTURBANCES EJECTED FROM THE
CURRENT GYRE OVER THE PAC NW WILL TAKE A WEST TO EAST
ROUTE...ARRIVING BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND DRAWING JUST ENOUGH
MOISTURE FROM THE GULF FOR THE NEXT RAIN OPPORTUNITY SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY. TEMPS SHOULD RETURN TO THE LOW TO MIDDLE 80S ON SUNDAY
TOO.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

EXPECT ANOTHER ACTIVE PERIOD AT LEAST FOR SUNDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY AS
ANOTHER FRONT MAKES ITS WAY TOWARD AND THROUGH THE AREA.
SUNDAY...LOOKING AT HIGH PRESSURE MOVING OFFSHORE SETTING OUR AREA
UP IN THE RETURN FLOW AND INCREASED HUMIDITY. SUNDAY WILL BE A DAY
OF TYPICAL SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE MTNS.

AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY-TUESDAY...FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES FROM GREAT
LAKES-CENTRAL PLAINS SOUTHEAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC SOUTHWEST TO
THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. MODELS SIMILAR OVERALL BUT TIMING INDIVIDUAL
CLUSTERS OF SHORTWAVES WILL BE PROBLEMATIC. STILL LOOKS LIKE AN
ACTIVE PATTERN WHERE 2-3 ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS.
FRONT APPEARS TO FINALLY INCH SOUTHEAST OF OUR AREA BY WEDNESDAY
WITH DRIER AIR MOVING IN FOR AT LEAST ONE OR TWO DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 735 AM EDT THURSDAY...

A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WAS OVER NORTHERN WEST
VIRGINIA AT 7AM. MODELS ARE SIMILAR WITH THE TIMING OF AN
ORGANIZED AREA OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT THE STORMS TO
REACH LWB AROUND 13Z/9AM. THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS HOLDS OFF AT
KBLF/KROA/KBCB UNTIL AFTER 14Z/10AM.

WEST WINDS MAY WEAKEN THE SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER ROA AND BCB BUT
THEN LOOK FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO REORGANIZE ALONG OR EAST OF THE
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS POSSIBLE WITH THE
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY AT KDAN AND KLYH AFTER 19Z/3PM.

CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT. ASIDE FROM
THE THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS WILL BE GUSTY TODAY BOTH AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. THE FRONT WILL BE EAST OF THE REGION THIS EVENING WITH
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH MIDNIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY RESULTING IN VFR
WEATHER. MAY SEE FOG AT THE TYPICAL LOCATIONS SUNDAY MORNING...
KLWB/KBCB...OTHERWISE VFR. LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS ON
SUNDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER FRONT MOVING INTO THE MIDWEST/GREAT
LAKES. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING ISOLATED STORMS TO THE MOUNTAINS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH BETTER COVERAGE ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY
AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY.
