DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1104 AM CDT WED MAR 19 2008

VALID 191630Z – 201200Z

…THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE ERN TN VALLEY AND SERN
STATES INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES…

…EASTERN U.S…
STRONG UPPER LOW CROSSING TX OVERNIGHT CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE AND
OPEN INTO A TROUGH AS IT REACHES APPALACHIANS LATER TONIGHT.
IMPRESSIVE DEEP LAYER WIND FIELDS AT ALL LEVELS HAVE ROTATED AROUND
UPPER SYSTEM AND WILL PROVIDE THE PRIMARY MECHANISM FOR ANY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM CONCERN TODAY.

THE SURFACE LOW CENTER IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS MID TN VALLEY WITH
TRAILING COLD FRONT SWD THRU MS INTO GULF. LOW WILL DEEPEN STEADILY
AS IT MOVES RAPIDLY NEWD TO SRN PA BY THIS EVENING AND TO NEW
ENGLAND COAST BY 12Z THU.

THE COMBINATION OF POOR LAPSE RATES AND EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WILL
TEMPER WHAT OTHERWISE WOULD BE A POTENT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT
ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR. WITH 100 PLUS KT 500MB WIND MAX COUPLED
WITH AT LEAST 60KT LOW LEVEL JET TRANSLATING FROM TN VALLEY TO MID
ATLANTIC STATES BY THIS EVENING…POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE WILL
EXIST WITH EXPECTED STRONGLY FORCED PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE.

LINE OF CONVECTION CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM NERN AL TO WRN FL
PANHANDLE AND WILL CONTINUE DEVELOPING NEWD THRU MID ATLANTIC STATES
BY THIS EVENING. WITH THE VERY LIMITED INSTABILITY THAT WILL BE
AVAILABLE THIS AREA…PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT WILL BE WIND DAMAGE AS
LOW TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ABLE TO TRANSFER STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS
TO SURFACE. POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED
TO SPIN UPS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LINE…AS CONDITIONS UNFAVORABLE FOR
SUSTAINED SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT.

ADDITIONAL WIND DAMAGE AND ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE WITH LOW TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF
UPPER TROUGH IN THE DRY SLOT THAT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY NEWD ACROSS ERN
KY/TN TO SRN PA/WV THIS EVENING. AGAIN THE POOR LAPSE RATES WILL
LIMIT SEVERE IN AN OTHERWISE FAVORABLE KINEMATIC PATTERN.

I remember when my folks tried to get me to eat all of the good stuff out of the garden. Nahhh, that wasn’t me back in those days. Peanut butter, you bet! It was simpler then, and we didn’t have to worry where the peanut butter came from or your produce. Not anymore. Don’t get me wrong, groceries have their place, but wouldn’t you rather have food that you know where it comes from. Enter Ken & Yvonne Harris at a.m. Fog on the Nelson-Albemarle County Line along Route 151. They grow and sell about as close to the farm as you can get.

When you stop by you’ll find:

-Hydroponic tomatoes and cucumbers
-On Farm & Locally Grown Lettuce
-Local, organically Raised Farm Eggs
-Local “Happy Steer” Hormone and Antibiotic Free Meat
-Local Hormone & Antibiotic Free Chicken

Not to mention all of the other vegetables, annual, and perennial plants along with lots of fruit trees ready for the spring planting! Spring begins this Thursday, can you believe it’s already here!

And coming soon, that new farm market under construction now, featuring hot teas & coffee, muffins, and bread. They’re open now, but be looking for the grand opening of the new and larger farm market in just a few days!

The photo at the top of today’s weather post is pretty much how the day ended Tuesday. Though we saw some hints of sunshine part of the day, clouds overall prevailed. The sun did come out long enough to warm things up near 60° for most folks.

To our west severe weather has been the story for much of Tuesday and Tuesday night. Flooding and tornadoes were all across the mid-south slowly marching to the east in our direction. There were some scattered showers overnight in our area, but nothing to be concerned with.

Wednesday will be another mostly cloudy day with noticeably warmer temps. I can’t rule out some scattered showers in the morning but the more significant rain will move in after lunch. By late afternoon into Wednesday night, heavier rains will fall and chances for thunderstorms move into the forecast. It will become windy as the the day wears on.

Though severe weather is a possibility as mentioned in the NWS Hazardous Weather Statement:

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY EVENING. AHEAD AND ALONG THE COLD
FRONT…SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED. GIVEN STRONG WIND
FIELDS ALOFT…DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. AT THIS TIME…THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR SEVERE
WEATHER ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA IS EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 6 PM AND
11 PM WEDNESDAY EVENING.

A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NECESSARY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS
WIND GUSTS MAY APPROACH 45 MPH.

It doesn’t appear Nelson will be in the bulls eye, but as always I’ll be watching and let you know. Any storms that form, gusty damaging winds would be the main threat.

After Wednesday night we’re quick to clear out and Thursday looks sunny right now for the first day of Spring. Temps will be in the upper 50’s both Thursday & Friday. Rain reenters the forecast again by Friday night into Saturday.

If you’re like most of us today, you’re getting a bit concerned about just exactly where your food comes from, not to mention how much it costs just to make the trip to pick it up! With gas over $3.00 a gallon that trip to the big grocery to save a few pennies doesn’t seem to make as much CENTS anymore! Ken and Yvonne Harris have the answer to both of those concerns. One, they either grow right on the farm or they buy as close to the farm as possible. And you don’t have to drive very far either. They’re just up the road on Route 151 at the Nelson – Albemarle County Line in Afton.

When you stop by you’ll find:

-Hydroponic tomatoes and cucumbers
-On Farm & Locally Grown Lettuce
-Local, organically Raised Farm Eggs
-Local “Happy Steer” Hormone and Antibiotic Free Meat

Looks like a sneaky leprechaun made his way into one of the classrooms over at Rockfish River Elementary School in Afton during St. Patrick’s Day! Students there in the photo at the top of today’s weather arrived Monday morning to find the green footprints across one of the desks! Mmmmm, maybe he was looking for “me” pot of gold coins! Actually folks at RRES had a great Career Day Monday where they learned all about different jobs they might one day grow up to be a part of. You can view the pics by clicking here.

And not to be out done on St. Patty’s, the crew over at The Hamner Theater in the RVCC had a St. Patrick’s Day Party, complete with food and lots of music. You can view all of the fun here! They always have lots of great events, so be sure to check out what’s happening on their site.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful weather wise. Temps weren’t cold, but it certainly wasn’t a very warm day either. Cool breezes made it feel a bit chilly unless you were out in the direct sunlight. By late afternoon, clouds began moving in and we ended the day mostly cloudy. Overnight you could call it mostly cloudy, with an occasional peek of stars now and then.

Today marks the beginning of some pretty dramatic changes for the next 24-36 hours. Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with temps about where they were Monday in the lower 50’s. The one thing that may change that is a developing warm front. If it get through the area we could see substantially warmer temps. By Tuesday night, showers and winds begin working in, we may actually see a sprinkle around dusk, but the more widespread showers begin after dark heading toward Wednesday morning.

Wednesday looks to be a rainy day with mild temps near 70° in spite of the rain and clouds. We could easily see wind gusts of near 40 MPH throughout the day.

There’s even a chance of thunderstorms later in the day and the slight potential for some of them to become severe by Wednesday night as mentioned in the Hazardous Weather Outlook:

GUSTY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG A SHARP COLD
FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS MAY OCCUR WITH
THESE STORMS. A WIND ADVISORY MAY ALSO BE NEEDED WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

I don’t think we’ll see much in the way of severe weather as it looks like most of it will form east and south of Nelson, but it is worth a mention and we’ll keep an eye on it between now and then.

By Thursday skies begin to clear and temps cool a tad for the next several days. Light snow may actually reenter the forecast again by Sunday night into Monday. Not much to be excited about, but just a reminder that winter is still trying to kick Spring around just a little bit.

Wednesday: Rainy, windy & warm. T-Showers possible late day & evening.
* Highs Valley: 68-71°

The rest of the week has lingering early morning showers Thursday then becoming partly sunny, cool & breezy. Highs valley mid 50’s and near 50° mountains. Friday looks sunny with highs in the mid 50’s below and again near 50° mountains. The weekend looks variably cloudy with mid 50’s Saturday and upper 40’s Sunday.

Snow and or rain is possible Sunday night into Monday.

On Tuesday, 3/18, the PTA is holding a spaghetti dinner at 5:30-6:30pm, followed by their meeting. Afterwards, the school’s hallways and gym will be opened for the Spring art Show and Focus on Science exhibits.

Youth Art Month is an annual observance that is held each March to celebrate the value of art education in our schools and to encourage public support for a full time, quality art program at Rockfish River Elementary. The Spring Art Show gives us a stage to showcase our students’ artistic talents and inform the public, our local, state and national officials about the value of art experiences in the lives of young people. Youth Art Month gives art programs a chance to shine and sends a message. Too often, the value of participation in the arts is underestimated. Art is a learning tool that reinforces other disciplines like reading, writing, social studies, science and even math. Art education develops self-esteem, an appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation and critical thinking skills.

A touch of winter made a brief return over the weekend both in temperatures and precipitation. Just a tad of snow fell on the mountains as the rain came to an end very early Sunday morning. Our weather watcher, John Taylor, on the mountains dropped us a quick note yesterday:

“We had a light dusting of snow overnight most of which has melted.
No icing apparent at this altitude”

John’s around 3500 feet, but obviously no problems on Sunday and certainly not today. Thanks for checking in John, he always keeps posted on the mountain weather.

Monday started really chilly with some of the coldest temps we’ve seen in several days. Today will warm up nicely, with even warmer temps by mid-week, but also a chance for rain again starting as early as Tuesday night. Rain continues Wednesday with even a chance for an isolated thundershower.

By the first day of Spring on Thursday, look for partly sunny skies and temps in the mid 50’s. Right now Easter Weekend looks partly sunny with temps in the mid 50’s to lower 60’s.

You can check out and buy all of Robin’s latest CD releases here.

Robin-Bridge
Whether playing solo, or accompanied by her six-piece band, Robin Wynn’s shows are marked with high energy and good spirits, with her distinctive, smooth-like-honey/sharp-as-a-tack vocals cresting the wave. With her ear for hooks, Robin writes music you swear you’ve heard before, yet is always unique and fresh, often drawing comparisons to Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams at her most “Americana,” Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) and Liz Phair at her rockingest.

A hard-working bunch of players, Robin and her band performed over a hundred shows up and down the east coast in 2006, gathering enthusiasts at every stop. Bandmates include Lea Calvani (Dirty Dishes) on percussion and vocals, John Allietta (Thrum, Naked Puritans) on drums, Clayton Avent (Six Day Bender) on cello and guitar, Blake Wheeler (Bleak, Goldenhour) on bass and vocals, and Mark Goldstein on guitar, keyboards, and vocals.

Spring 2007 marks the release of Robin Wynn’s latest studio achievement “A Few Dusty Miles,” a full-length CD of eleven new songs which includes such favorites from her recent tour dates as the sultry ballad “Bottle,” the quirky half-time rag “Sweet Sally,” and “Soldier,” an instant pop classic that will stay in your head for days – and is also available to listen on her page at www.myspace.com/robinwynn
