AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1016 PM EDT WED MAR 12 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN THROUGH THE NIGHT WILL RESULT IN
VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THURSDAY
MORNING. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY
NIGHT...WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 1000 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
COLD FRONT NOW TO THE COAST WITH HIGHEST PRESSURE RISES EXITING
THE PIEDMONT. UPSTREAM INDICATIONS SUGGEST DIMINISHING WINDS...AND
THEREFORE CANCELLED WIND ADVISORY FOR THE PIEDMONT AND DOWNGRADED
WIND WARNING TO ADVISORY OVER THE WEST...EXCEPT FOR THE MOUNTAINS
OF NC INTO GRAYSON COUNTY VA...WHERE A FEW MORE GUSTS TO 50 KNOTS
COULD OCCUR.
NOT CHANGING ANY HEADLINES FOR WIND CHILL...ALTHOUGH MARGINAL FOR
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...BUT IT IS ABNORMALLY COLD FOR MID MARCH.
MAIN CONCERN TONIGHT AS WELL WILL BE SNOW SHOWERS WITH
TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE TEENS/20S. SNOW ACCMULATION ADDING
UP AROUND AN INCH OR SO IN THE NC MTNS AND INTO SRN WV. THE
OVERALL MOISTURE SHOULD BECOME SHALLOWER THROUGH THE NIGHT WHERE
AN ADDTIONAL 1-2 INCHES MAY OCCUR BEFORE IT HAPPENS. HAVE ADDED
SNOW ACCMULATION INTO THE WIND CHILL PRODUCT.
PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION...
BY LATE MORNING THURSDAY...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX ENOUGH
THAT WIND SPEEDS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER ACROSS OUR AREA...
ALTHOUGH REMAIN OCCASIONALLY GUSTY...AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL COME
TO AN END ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. ARCTIC AIR IN PLACE WILL REMIND US
THAT IT IS STILL OFFICIALLY WINTER...AS HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO
REACH THE FREEZING MARK ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND WILL WARM INTO
THE LOW 40S ACROSS THE SOUTHSIDE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE TRACKS OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT. COLD DRY AIR
UNDER GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW THE
TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE 20S ACROSS THE AREA. WESTERN SLOPES
AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND COULD DROP BACK INTO
THE TEENS. THE WIND AND WIND CHILLS WILL NOT BE A FACTOR THURSDAY
NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS OFF THE CAROLINA COAST FRIDAY.
SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW AND ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING BACK WARMER
TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY...POSSIBLE APPROACHING SEASONAL LEVELS. WITH
THIS WARMUP...24 HOUR TEMPERATURE CHANGE FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON
INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON COULD BE ON THE ORDER OF 20 DEGREES.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 320 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
COULD THURSDAY BE THE LAST ATTACK OF WINTER WEATHER FOR THE SEASON?
MARCH INTO APRIL IS A SEASON TRANSITION TIME WHERE WE COULD HAVE
WARM TEMPERATURES FOR A FEW DAYS...THEN COLD AGAIN FOR A DAY OR TWO.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WITH THE HIGHER SUN ANGLE AND WARMER AIR
ADVANCING FARTHER NORTH...THE DURATION OF COLD SPELLS WILL BE BRIEF.
THE CHANCES FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION ALSO EXIST...BUT THE ODDS OF A
SIGNIFICANT SNOW OR ICE EVENT IS ON A DECLINE BUT NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION...IE MARCH 1993.
WITH THAT SAID...A WEAK COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO TRACK OVER THE
AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND STALL OVER NORTH CAROLINA SUNDAY. WAVES OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ALONG THIS FRONT...KEEPING THE CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION HIGH STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL MOVE OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAIN STATES
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. A STRONGER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS
FORECASTED TO TRACK ALONG THE GULF STATES SUNDAY AND OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST MONDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE ACROSS THE NORTH...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL WEDGE DOWN THE EAST COAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. MODELS
DO LOOK SIMILAR TO THE LAST WEEKS MARCH 6-7 2014 EVENT. THE GFS
KEEPS BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION SOUTH OF THE AREA. THE ECM HAS THE
HIGHER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS OVER THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT
FROM OVERRUNNING AND WITH A DEFORMATION ZONE PIVOTING OVER THE
MOUNTAINS MONDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME...THERMAL PROFILES SUPPORT
MAINLY SNOW IN THE NORTHERN HALF WITH A WINTRY MIX OVER THE
SOUTHERN HALF. WILL TREND TEMPERATURES COLDER WHILE KEEPING
WEATHER ELEMENT AS RAIN SUNDAY TRANSITIONING TO SNOW EARLY MONDAY.
WE WILL GET INTO MORE DETAILS OF THIS SYSTEM AS THE FORECAST
BECOMES MORE CLEAR AND MODELS HOPEFULLY BECOME IN AGREEMENT.
OUTSIDE OF THE SUNDAY-MONDAY EVENT...THE WEATHER PATTERN IS QUIET
WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 740 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
WINDS WILL BE THE AVIATION ISSUE THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT
ESPECIALLY TONIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. SURGE OF ARCTIC
AIR FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL BRING A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS. GUSTS
UP TO 45 TO 50 KNOTS IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...BUT MOST OF
TIME...GUSTS WILL RANGE FROM 30 TO 40 KNOTS...AND SUSTAINED AROUND
20-25 KNOTS FROM THE NW. MVFR CIGS WILL STAY SITATED OVER
BLF/LWB/BCB GOING INTO THE EVENING...WITH SCATTERING TO VFR BY
EARLY THU MORNING IN BCB...AND TOWARD MID MORNING LWB/BLF. A SNOW
SHOWER OR TWO COULD AFFECT BLF/LWB WITH SMALL WINDOW OF MVFR VBSYS
BUT PERIOD OF TIME TO LOW TO ADD TO TAFS.
WINDS WILL START TO WIND DOWN THU AFTERNOON.
.EXTENDED AVIATION...
THURSDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA AND
BRING A DECREASE IN WIND SPEED AND A RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS FOR
THE ENTIRE AREA. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH THE
REGION DURING THE WEEKEND WITH SUB-VFR POSSIBLE OVER THE SOUTH AND
WEST AS DEEPER MOISTURE WITH YET ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
SPREADS EAST ALONG THE FRONT BY SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF SUB VFR INTO MONDAY AS THE LOW
DEEPENS OFF THE COAST.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
DRY CONDITIONS WILL LINGER IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT
PASSING ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES WILL QUICKLY BECOME CRITICAL EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS DURING
THE DAY THURSDAY. IN ADDITION...WINDY AND GUSTY CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN THROUGH THE DAY AND GREATLY ENHANCE FIRE DANGER.
