Area forecast discussion, Feb 9, 10:50 AM EST, 3 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
1050 AM EST SAT FEB 9 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH TODAY. A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION EARLY SUNDAY.
BLUSTERY AND NOTICEABLY COLDER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THIS
FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN CROSS THE REGION LATE
TUESDAY AND EARLY WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WARM ADVECTION PRECIP EXITING THE FCST AREA AS WARM FRONT
LIFTS NORTH. WINDS ALREADY PICKING UP WITH GUSTS UP TO 20 KTS AT
KIAD WITH TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE MID 50S THIS AFTERNOON POSSIBLY
NEAR 60 AT FREDERICSKBURG AND CHARLOTTESVILLE AREAS. FOR THIS
AFTERNOON MODELS ACTUALLY INDICATE SOME CAPE AVAILABLE AND SPC HAS
AREA UNDER GENERAL TSTM OUTLOOK. WRF-ARW4 SIMULATED REFLECTIVITY
INDICATES WEAK CONVECTION POPPING UP MID AFTERNOON AS CDFNT
PASSES BY. THINK THAT CONVECTION WILL BE TOO WEAK/SHALLOW TO
PRODUCE LIGHTNING BUT CANT RULED OUT A FEW SHOWERS. WILL MAINTAIN
LOW POPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MID AND HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING AHEAD OF OCCLUDED FRONT THAT WILL PASS
NE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. DYING TRIPLE POINT LOW THAT WAS ALONG
THE FRONT WILL PASS JUST TO OUR NW...SO ALMOST LIKE A WEAK WARM
FRONT FOLLOWED BY A WEAK COLD FRONT IN QUICK SUCCESSION. THE END
RESULT WILL BE SOME CLOUDS...AND LIKELY SOME RAIN SHOWERS NW...WITH
LESSER CHANCES SE.
CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR OUT SOMEWHAT LATER TODAY AS THAT PULLS NE OF THE
AREA. THEN FOR TONIGHT WE AWAIT THE ARCTIC FRONT THAT IS BARRELING

MUCH OF THE CWFA MAY RECEIVE A WND ADVY...AND THE MTNS ON THE CUSP
BTWN ADVY AND WRNG. THAT DECISION LIKELY TO COME LATER TDA OR TNGT.
ONE LAST ISSUE...THAT BEING UPSLOPE SNW POTL. SHUD BE A STARK LAKE
TEMP DIFF...AND MORE THAN FVRBL UPSLOPE FLOW TO WRING IT OUT. THE
ONLY CONCERNS WL BE THAT MTNS ONLY RECEIVE GLANCING BLOW...W/ THE
CORE OF THE COLD AIR STAYING IN PA NWD...AND THAT SFC WNDS MAINTAIN
A FAIRLY WLY TRAJ...SUCH THAT THE LAKE MSTR SUPPLY DOESNT QUITE GET
TAPPED. IT STILL SHUD BE ENUF FOR LIKLEY POPS IN THE MRNG...AND
TAPERING BACK THRU THE DAY. WL KEEP ACCUM AOB 1 INCH FOR NOW.
GIVEN WLY LLVL WNDS...LOOKING FOR SKIES TO CLR E OF MTNS DURING
AFTN...AND THAT TREND SHUD CONT THRU SUN NGT. P-GRAD WL RELAX...
PERMITTING WNDS TO DIMINISH...BUT NOT DCPL COMPLETELY. AS WITH

BUT LIKE MOST OTHER STORMS THIS WINTER...UNCERTAIN AS TO WHAT TYPE
IT WL TAKE. WUD THINK RA WUD PREDOMINATE...BASED ON TKNS/H8 TEMPS.
HWVR...WL TOSS IN MIX RASN IN THE W TUE NGT. WL NEED TO WATCH THIS

.AVIATION /16Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
