NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Oct 7, 10:39 PM EST, 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 1139 PM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014 .SYNOPSIS... UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPLACHIANS WILL KEEP THE SHOWERS AROUND THROUGH EARLY MORNING. THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE AREA WEDNESDAY...REPLACED BY HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL BRING A RETURN TO DRY AND MILD WEATHER FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. BY FRIDAY MORNING...THE HIGH WILL BE OFFSHORE AND LOW PRESSURE WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 1130 PM EDT TUESDAY... EVENING STAYING ACTIVE AS CONVECTION WITH HIGH WIND SHEAR...LOW LVL JET CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE OVER ERN KY INTO SRN WV. HRRR/LOCAL WRF SHOW THIS BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION SHIFTING SWD OVERNIGHT...AND MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE DRY BY 8 AM. MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR SWD SHIFT IN SHOWERS/ISOLATED TSRA INTO PREDAWN...BUT EXPECT WEAKENING THROUGH THE NIGHT AS INSTABILITY IS ABOUT NIL. STORMS HAVE BEEN FEEDING OFF LOW LVL BOUNDARY AND SHEAR. KEPT GUSTY WINDS IN THE FORECAST OVER THE MTNS THROUGH ABOUT 3AM. REMOVED/LOWERED POPS CONSIDERABLY AFTER 12Z WED. NO OTHER MAJOR CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST ELEMENTS. PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION... BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WITH AXIS EXTENDING FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES WILL ROTATE AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THESE WILL CREATE ENOUGH DYNAMIC LIFT TO COMBINE WITH THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE TO REGENERATE DEEPER CONVECTION. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE TROF LIFTS NORTHEAST ON WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP IN SHORT LINE SEGMENTS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS. NOT CONCERNED OVER ANY FLOODING AT THIS TIME...UNLESS THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREA IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO FOCUS THE HEAVY RAINFALL FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME DUE TO THE FAST STORM MOVEMENT...MEAN CLOUD LAYER WINDS OF 45 KTS. IN THIS HIGHLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT FOCUS SHOULD BE ON THE WIND AND NOT THE RAIN. KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE WEST...THEN TAPER OFF AFTER 06Z GOING INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. PLAYED LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT CLOSE TO THE ADJMAVBC WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER 40S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 60 DEGREES IN THE PIEDMONT. A LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD ACROSS OUR AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT FROM SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. THE DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL BRING AN END TO LEFTOVER SHOWERS AND DIMINISH CLOUD COVER HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF A RETREATING UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING AND SUNSHINE WILL WARM AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER 80S IN THE PIEDMONT. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 340 PM EDT TUESDAY... SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY MORNING. WILL BE STAYING CLOSER TO THE COOLER MAV NUMBERS FOR LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BY FRIDAY MORNING THE HIGH WILL BE OFFSHORE AND LOW PRESSURE WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. DEEP MOISTURE WILL RETURN TO THE REGION BY THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A STATIONARY FRONT THAT WILL EXTEND FROM WEST VIRGINIA INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 325 PM EDT TUESDAY... LONG WAVE 500 TROF DIGS OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. ECMWF WAS MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THIS TROF THAN OTHER SOLUTIONS...CLOSING OFF A LOW IN THE PLAINS MONDAY NIGHT. WILL BE LEANING TOWARD MORE AMPLIFIED SOLUTION...THOUGH WITH LOWER CONFIDENCE FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AT THE SURFACE...THE BOUNDARY SLOWLY SINKS SOUTH SATURDAY. TROFFING REMAINS OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH A BUILDING WEDGE OVER THE FORECAST AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE GREAT LAKES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. BETTER VORTICITY ADVECTION AND UPPER SUPPORT ARRIVE ON SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL KEEP HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE BY TUESDAY AND DEEPER LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP IN THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. 850 MB TEMPERATURES WIND UP WARMER ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY BUT THAT MAY NOT MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE SINCE THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE WEDGED IN AT THE SURFACE AND CLOUDY. WILL STAY AOB GUIDANCE FOR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AS LONG AS WEDGE IS GONE ON TUESDAY...TEMPERATURES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE ABOVE NORMAL. && .AVIATION /04Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 738 PM EDT TUESDAY... CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS SE WV THIS EVENING WILL IMPACT THE BCB/ROA AREA AT TAF START TIME AND EVENTUALLY SKIRT BY LYH BETWEEN 01-02Z. TSRA IS LIMITED SO ONLY HAVE IT IN AS VCTS AT BCB. WITH THE SHOWERS EXPECT TORRENTIAL RAIN AT TIMES WHICH COULD BRING VSBYS DOWN SOME WHILE KEEPING CIGS ABOVE MVFR. WITH LIGHTER SHOWERS EXPECT CIGS TO DROP BACK DOWN. FOLLOWED THE LATEST HRRR WHICH HAS THIS FIRST AREA MOVING OUT OF SE WV AND BCB BY 01Z...AND ROANOKE AND LYH BY 02Z. THERE IS SOME STRONG LOW LVL WINDS...AND AS SUCH FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST LOW LVL WIND SHEAR. HOWEVER...FOR MOST AREAS WINDS WILL BE MIXED ENOUGH PLUS WITH SHOWERS IN THE AREA IT WILL BE MORE CONVECTIVE THAN NON. BUT DID ADD LLWS TO LYH/DAN OVERNIGHT...AS NOT EXPECTING CONVECTION TO MAKE IT THIS FAR EAST AFTER 05Z. ONCE THIS UPPER SHORTWAVE MOVES EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT DRYING ALOFT TAKES PLACE WITH WINDS TURNING MORE WESTERLY. ISSUE BECOMES FOG AND/OR LOWER CIGS. THINK FOG WILL BE LIMITED AS WINDS STAY IN THE 4-8KT RANGE INCREASING IN THE MTNS. LWB THOUGH COULD CLEAR OUT FASTER TOWARD DAWN WHICH MAY BRING ABOUT DENSE FOG...SO KEPT THAT IN FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. MOST TERMINALS WILL BE MVFR TO VFR. THINGS CLEAR OUT FOR MOST OF WEDNESDAY WHILE WEST WINDS BECOME GUSTY. EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL INTO THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER WEATHER DISTURBANCE IMPINGES ON THE AREA FROM THE WEST LATER THURSDAY NIGHT OR ON FRIDAY. SUB VFR LIKELY TOWARD SAT-SUN AS THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH AND SFC HIGH MOVING EAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES SETTING UP A WEDGE SCENARIO...WITH RAIN EXPECTED AS WELL. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
