AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
951 PM EST FRI MAR 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
ONE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL EXIT THE AREA LATE THIS EVENING. ANOTHER
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY. VERY WINDY AND COLDER CONDITIONS WILL FOLLOW LATE
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR THE EARLY
TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
FIRST WAVE OF LOW PRES AND ASSOCIATED RAINFALL WILL BE EXITING THE
AREA BY 03Z. ANY PRECIP OVERNIGHT SHOULD BE MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF
DRIZZLE AND/OR VERY LIGHT RAIN. AREAS OF DENSE FOG ALSO DEVELOPING
ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER ELEVS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...

NCEP MODELS HAVE TRENDED FURTHER WEST/INLAND WITH TRACK OF SECOND
AREA OF LOW PRES AND ARE NOW INLINE WITH 12Z ECMWF TAKING THE LOW
FROM GA NEWD TO JUST EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE MTNS TO NEAR ALBANY NY
BY TOMORROW EVENING. ONLY ODD MODEL NOW IS 00Z RUC40 WHICH HAS THE
LOW TRACKING WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS. MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER
SLUG OF MOISTURE WILL SPREAD THE AREA TOMORROW MORNING. ALSO OF
NOTE IS PLENTY OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY ON FCST SOUNDINGS EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE MTNS WITH MUCAPE OVER 200 J/KG AND SHOWALTER
INDICES AROUND -2C. SO WILL ADD THUNDER TO ALL AREAS EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE MTNS. ALSO A THREAT FOR SEVERE WX MAINLY LOWER SRN MD
WHERE AREA IS NOW IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH 60F DEGREE DEWPOINTS NOT
THAT FAR AWAY. PRECIP MOVES EAST OF THE BAY AFTER 18Z BASED ON 18Z
GFS ALTHOUGH NAM MODEL ABT THREE HRS SLOWER THAN GFS.

NEXT CONCERN IS POST-FRONTAL WINDS. 18Z GFS AND 00Z NAM SHOWING
VERY STRONG PRES RISES BEHIND DEPARTING LOW IN THE ORDER OF
15MBS/6HR AND 10MB/3HR RESPECTIVELY. THIS TYPICALLY SUPPORTIVE OF
STRONG WINDS. ALMOST PULLED THE TRIGGER ON A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR
AREAS WEST OF A LINE FROM HAGERSTOWN/MARTINSBURG/WINCHESTER TO
STAUNTON GIVEN 2-3KFT WINDS CLOSE TO 50 KTS. SINCE STRONGEST WINDS
NOT COMING UNTIL 00Z SUN DECIDED TO HOLD OFF AND LET NEXT SHIFT

RAPID CLEAR EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL ON
SUNDAY. UPSLOPE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WEST OF THE ALLEGHENY FRONT
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY LOOK TO RANGE 2 TO 4 INCHES...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THE
AMOUNTS TO ISSUE A WATCH AT THIS TIME. DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE AT
LEAST A HIGH END ADVISORY CRITERIA EVENT...AND SINCE IT IS WITHIN
THE FIRST 3 PERIODS OF THE FORECAST...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WITHIN
CRITERIA WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE ZONES. ALSO POSSIBLE IN THIS AREA
ARE WIND CHILLS WITHIN ADVISORY CRITERIA. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH ON SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE SOUTH.
THIS COULD REACH INTO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS...BUT WITH THE FORECAST
RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS...FIRE WEATHER THREAT IS GREATLY
DIMINISHED.  ALL OF THIS WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE HWO.

A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC MONDAY...BUT
MOISTURE IS LIMITED THEREFORE LOW POPS. ANOTHER LOW WILL PASS NORTH
OF THE REGION TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. OVERALL...MOSTLY QUIET FOR THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE NEXT MENTIONABLE POPS AND WEATHER WOULD BE
TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY IN RAIN. WHEN ITS
NOT RAINING THERE WILL BE AREAS OF DRIZZLE AND FOG. GUSTY WINDS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES IMPROVING RAPIDLY SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH
HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL ON SUNDAY. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT SATURDAY AND DIMINISH ON SUNDAY. GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS ARE

STAGE AGAIN SUN MORNING. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOMORROW MORNING UP
TO HALF INCH NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

CAUSE TIDES TO FALL AROUND 1 FOOT BELOW PREDICTED LEVELS. WINDS WILL
DIMINISH SUNDAY...ALLOWING TIDES TO RETURN TO NEAR PREDICTED LEVELS.
