NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON. A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THIS BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE ENTIRE WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA
FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION FOR THE

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
RDR INDICATING LGT TO MDT RAIN MOVNG NE ACRS MOST OF THE AREA LATE

UPR 60S EXTRM SE CNTIES.

STILL LUKING AT A POSSIBILITY OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ACRS THE REGION
BEFORE IT ENDS LATER TNGT. SPC ALSO CONTS SLIGHT RISK FOR SE VA
AND NE NC INTO THIS EVENG. CLD CVR WILL SUPPRESS DIABATIC SFC
HEATING AND LESSEN MIDLVL LAPSE RATES AND THUS BE A LIMITING
FACTOR FOR DESTABILIZATION. HOWEVER...A VERY STRONG SECONDARY LLVL
JET OF 50-60 KT JUST ABV THE SFC DEVLOPS AND APPROACHES THE AREA
LATER THIS AFTN/EVENING. THIS COMBINED WITH STRONG MOMENTUM ALOFT
MAY BE ENUF TO ALLOW ANY SCT TSTMS TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
RAIN/RAIN SHWRS CONTINUE THRU THIS EVENING...AND THEN CHCS BEGIN
TO WANE BY FRIDAY MORNING AS SYS CONTS ITS NE TRACK INTO NEW

WITH THIS POTENTIAL BUT BELIEVE SFC TEMPS WILL BE THE ULTIMATE
DECIDER.) IN ANY CASE, HV CONT MENTION OF -SHSN/SHRA.

REMAIN IN THE MID 50S TO LWR/MID 60S ACROSS THE FA. LOWS MID 30S TO
MID 40S SUN NIGHT THRU TUE NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE DELMARVA
PENINSULA TO NEAR SOUTH HILL VA. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL
THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE MOVING BACK NORTH THIS EVENING AS LOW
PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN GEORGIA MOVES THROUGH CENTRAL VIRGINIA. AS
THE LOW PULLS TO THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT...THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY
MOVE SE OF THE TAF SITES BY LATE FRI MORNING.

WIDESPREAD IFR WITH OCNL LIFR CONDITIONS COVER MUCH OF THE CWA
WITH SOME VFR/MVFR OVER SE PORTIONS. AREAS OF RAIN AND SCT
THUNDERSTORMS ARE MAINLY OCCURRING OVER INLAND SECTIONS.
THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN NC WILL IMPACT NE NC AND SE VA AND
LATER THE DELMARVA LATE TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT. SOME OF THESE TS MAY
PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOL TORNADOES...MAINLY IN NE NC WHERE
A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT.

AVIATION CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN GENERALLY LOW THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR/MVFR DURING
THE DAY FRI AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE NW.

VFR AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATE FRI THROUGH MON AS HIGH
PRESSURE DOMINATES. AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE...SOME SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE MON NIGHT THROUGH WED AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE
AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
TRICKY FORECAST TDY WITH STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING OVER
PORTIONS OF THE REGION. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE SOUTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY WHILE NORTHERLY WINDS WILL DVLP NORTH OF IT. SHRA/TSRA WILL
CONTINUE TO DVLP AT TIMES (MOD/HVY) OVER THE AREA (POSSIBLY SOME
TSRA WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 40 KTS AT TIMES).

AS FAR AS HEADLINES HAVE SCA OVER ALL WATERS INTO TONIGHT. AS STALLED
BOUNDARY PUSHES BACK TO THE NORTH THIS EVENING...WINDS WILL INCREASE
OVER THE BAY. ALONG THE COASTAL WATERS LOOK FOR SEAS OF 5 TO 8 FT
(POSSIBLY HIGHER 15-20 NM OUT). WIND DIRECTION AND SPEED ALSO
PROBLEMATIC WITH STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY TODAY AND A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL RIDE NORTHEAST ALONG IT LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT. H92
WINDS OF 60-65 KTS WILL DVLP OVER THE AREA AS THE LOW PASSES NEAR THE
AREA. ANTICIPATE SOME OF THIS WIND TO MIX DOWN TO THE SFC BUT
STILL UNCERTAIN AS TO HOW FAR NORTH ALONG THE COASTAL WATERS WIND
GUSTS OF GALES WILL BE POSSIBLE. FOR NOW HAVE ADDED CAPE CHARLES
LIGHT AND SOUTHWARD TO MATCH UP WITH MHX INTO GALE HEADLINE FROM
21Z TDY-08Z FRI. WINDS SHIFT TO THE NW TWRDS FRI AND SCA MAY BE
EXTENDED OR ADDED BY LATER SHIFTS WITH LOW LVL SURGE BEFORE
GRADIENT RELAXES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE POSSIBILITY FOR HEAVY RAIN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL RAISE
THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO-
THIRDS OF THE HSA INCLUDING THE RICHMOND METRO AREA...MARYLAND
EASTERN SHORE...VIRGINIA DELMARVA AND SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA.
RAINFALL RATES OF BETWEEN 2 TO 3 INCHES AN HOUR COULD CAUSE RAPID
RISES TO FLOOD LOW LYING AND FLOOD PRONE AREAS AS WELL AS ALONG
SMALL CREEKS/STREAMS. 24 HOUR RAINFALL TOTALS OF 3 TO 4 INCHES
COULD ALSO CAUSE SHARP RISES ALONG THE AREA RIVERS BY THIS AFTN/EVENING
INTO FRIDAY.
