AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
411 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE TONIGHT BEFORE WEAKENING ON SATURDAY. A WEAK FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO OSCILLATE OVER THE REGION INTO SATURDAY AND BE THE
MAIN FOCUS FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING
INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS BOUNDARY WILL INTERACT WITH
MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL APPROACHING
FROM THE WEST TO BRING AN INCREASE IN HEAVIER RAINFALL...INCLUDING
SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT FRIDAY...
SCATTERED PULSE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN AREA WERE MSAS
ANALYSIS WAS SHOWING LOWEST LIFTED INDEX AND HIGHEST CAPES. STILL
THINK STORMS MAY TRACK ALL THE WAY INTO THE SOUTHEAST COUNTY
WARNING AREA THIS EVENING WERE THERE HAS BEEN MORE SUNSHINE TODAY
AND WERE CAPES ARE UP TO 2500 J/KG.
EXPECT A MAJORITY OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DISSIPATE BY
MIDNIGHT BUT WILL LIKELY NOT COMPLETELY ERODE OVERNIGHT. STAYED ON
MILD SIDE OF GUIDANCE FOR MINIMUM TEMPERATURES.
MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BILL WILL REACH THE FAR WESTERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA JUST AFTER 18Z/2PM SATURDAY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
RISE TO AN IMPRESSIVE 2.0 INCHES WITH A MAXIMUM OF PRECIPITATION
POTENTIAL PLACEMENT OVER THE NORTHWEST COUNTY WARNING AREA. HOW MUCH
INSTABILITY MAY BE LIMITED BY THE CLOUD COVER DURING THE DAY BUT
WITH ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS...TEMPERATURES WILL RISE QUICKLY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 235 PM EDT FRIDAY...
MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES WITH THE PASSING OF THE REMNANTS OF BILL JUST TO
THE NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT AS SUPPORTED BY MOST SOLUTIONS ATTM. THIS
SYSTEM ALONG WITH A PERIOD OF SE FLOW AND STRONG CONVERGENCE LIKELY TO
BRING A SWATH OF HEAVIER RAINFALL INCLUDING EMBEDDED DEEP CONVECTION
ESPCLY SATURDAY EVENING WHEN FORECAST INSTABILITY EXISTS. GIVEN PWATS
OF OVER 2 INCHES ACROSS OROGRAPHICS AND WARM ALOFT SUGGESTS VERY
EFFICIENT RAINFALL POTENTIAL WITH A LIKELY CORRIDOR OF 1-2 INCHES
ESPCLY NORTH/NW THIRD OVERNIGHT WITH PERHAPS QUITE A BIT LESS SE OF THE
BLUE RIDGE. LATEST ECMWF REMAINS THE WETTEST WHILE OTHER SOLUTIONS
SIMILAR BUT TAKE BEST UPPER DIVERGENCE AND SUBSEQUENT BEST LIFT JUST NW
OF THE CWA WITH MAINLY A TRAILING BAND OF SHRA/TSRA ALONG THE REMNANT
TROUGH AXIS. HOWEVER STILL CLOSE ENOUGH TO GO WITH CAT/LIKELY POPS WITH
HEAVY RAIN MENTION MOST OF SATURDAY NIGHT. JET ALOFT ALSO INCREASES BUT
SINCE EMBEDDED WITHIN SHOWER BANDS ONLY EXPECTING GUSTY WINDS ESPCLY AT
ELEVATION OVER THE NW BUT BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS AT THIS POINT. FORECAST
HODOGRAPHS ALSO SHOWING ENOUGH TURNING FOR SOME SPIN UP POTENTIAL BUT
MAINLY EARLY SAT EVENING. LOWS MOSTLY IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.
SECONDARY NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH TO GIVE THE REMNANTS A QUICK EASTWARD
BOOT BY EARLY SUNDAY WITH A PUNCH OF DRY ADVECTION INTO SUNDAY
AFTERNOON WHICH SHOULD SHUT POPS DOWN EARLY SUNDAY. HOWEVER TRAILING
UPPER TROFFINESS WITH THE NORTHERN 5H SYSTEM MAY INTERACT WITH RESIDUAL
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND HEATING TO BRING A FEW SHRA/TSRA TO THE WEST
LATER SUNDAY SO LEFT IN CHANCE POPS MOSTLY WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE INTO
SUNDAY EVENING. WEAK SURFACE HIGH FOLLOWS THIS SYSTEM LATER SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WITH ANY LEFTOVER FORCING QUITE WEAK.
SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOW QUITE A BIT OF DRY AIR ALOFT SO APPEARS OTHER THAN
FOR OROGRAPHICS ANY POPS RATHER ISOLATED OVER THE MOUNTAINS MAINLY
MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING WHERE WILL CARRY A LOW POP FOR NOW.
OTRW WILL BE EVEN MORE HOT/HUMID BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH GOOD
HEATING DEVELOPING OVER TOP LEFTOVER TROPICAL TYPE AIR. GIVEN 85H TEMPS
AROUND +23C AND WESTERLY FLOW COULD SEE HIGHS MID/UPPER 90S EAST SUNDAY-
MONDAY...AND 85-90 WEST WITH HEAT INDICES AT 100 OR HIGHER PIEDMONT.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM EDT FRIDAY...
HOT/HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD AS THE FLAT UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE SW STATES SHIFTS BACK EAST BY MIDWEEK BEFORE WEAKENING
AGAIN AS 5H TROFFINESS TAKES SHAPE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC BY DAY7.
HOWEVER RIDGING WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH AMPLITUDE TO STOP PIECES OF ENERGY
ALOFT FROM RIDING SE INTO THE AREA ON NW FLOW ALOFT...AND ALONG A
RESIDUAL FRONT STUCK NEARBY FROM TUESDAY-THURSDAY. TIMING OF THESE
POTENTIAL MCS TYPE FEATURE WAY TOO IFFY THIS FAR OUT BUT ENOUGH TO KEEP
SOME DAILY OR EVEN OVERNIGHT CHANCE TO SLIGHT POPS IN EACH DAY. OTRW
MAIN ASPECT WILL BE WITH THE RETURN OF THE HEAT ESPCLY EAST GIVEN 85H
TEMPS RISING TO BETWEEN 22-25C AND AIDED BY DOWNSLOPE FLOW. THIS
SHOULD...PENDING CLOUDS/STORMS EACH AFTERNOON...PUSH HIGHS AT LEAST
INTO THE LOW/MID 90S EAST AND EVEN 85-90 WEST. MODEL CONSENSUS SUPPORTS
SHORTWAVE ENERGY STARTING TO CARVE OUT A 5H TROUGH IN THE EAST BY
FRIDAY PRECEDED BY A DECENT COOL FRONT THAT LOOKS TO APPROACH FROM THE
NORTH DURING THE DAY. WESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY MAY DETER
WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE COVERAGE...BUT POTENTIAL FOR SOME SORT OF BROKEN
LINE COULD OCCUR ESPCLY GIVEN HEAT/HUMIDITY. THUS RUNNING WITH HIGHER
CHANCE POPS FOR NOW FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 155 PM EDT FRIDAY...
BETTER HEATING AND INSTABILITY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WILL RESULT
IN NUMEROUS TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS BY 21Z/5PM. HAVE DELAYED
MENTION OF VCTS IN THE TAFS BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. SIMILAR
TO PAST FEW DAYS...MVFR OR LOWER VISIBILITY IS LIKELY IN THE
TORRENTIAL RAIN WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS. GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT THE MORNING SOUNDINGS WERE
NOT PARTICULARLY SHOWING STRONG MID LEVEL WINDS OR DECENT SHEAR.
IF STORMS DO BECOME MORE ORGANIZED INTO LINES AND SEGMENTS...THE
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE HIGHER.
MODELS INDICATE THAT THE PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST/MID ATLANTIC STATES WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN WITH TIME AS
THE REMNANTS OF TS BILL MOVE NORTHEAST. MODELS SUGGEST THE BEST
LIFT AND COVERAGE OVER OUR AREA FROM TS BILL WILL OCCUR LATER
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...JUST AFTER THE 18Z/2PM END OF TAF FORECAST
PERIOD...INTO LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD
OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND ASSOCIATED MVFR/IFR RESTRICTIONS.
SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR LOOKS TO ARRIVE LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK...BUT IMPULSES TRACKING SOUTHEAST FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST
MAY BRING A COUPLE ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/STORMS AND
POSSIBLE SUB-VFR CONDITIONS AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THE REMNANT LOW OF ONCE TROPICAL STORM BILL WILL APPROACH THE
REGION FROM THE WEST LATER TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY BEFORE PASSING
JUST NORTH OF THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL COMBINE WITH A RESIDUAL FRONT
ACROSS THE AREA TO POSSIBLY PRODUCE MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
STORMS LATER SATURDAY...AND MORE IN THE WAY OF STEADIER HEAVIER
RAINFALL SATURDAY NIGHT OVER THE MOUNTAINS. A GENERAL 1 TO 3
INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY HIGHER TOTALS WHERE
HEAVIER RATES WITH EMBEDDED CONVECTION OCCURS. THIS LOOKS MOST
LIKELY TO OCCUR OVER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA AS WELL AS
THE VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS AT THIS POINT. ALTHOUGH RAINFALL HAS BEEN
RATHER SPOTTY IN THE LAST FEW DAYS...SOME LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED
AS MUCH AS 3 INCHES MAKING THOSE AREAS MORE PRONE TO FLOODING.
THUS GIVEN THE FORECAST RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL FOR MUCH MORE
WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN THAN SEEN OF LATE...A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MANY OF THE MOUNTAIN COUNTIES IN
VIRGINIA...AND WEST VIRGINIA FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS OF SUNDAY FOR AT LEAST LOCALIZED FLOODING.
