Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 3:25 PM EST, 38 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
325 PM EST THU FEB 12 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE JUST NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL TRACK EAST
ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING...THEN ACROSS THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE AREA FROM THE WEST TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. A SERIES OF LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL MOVE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION FROM THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
WINDS REMAIN GUSTY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS. SFC LOW IS CURRENTLY UP
OVER MAINE AND WILL CONTINUE TO PULL OUT TO THE NE THIS EVNG. PRES
GRAD THEREFORE RELAXES TONIGHT...ALLOWING WINDS TO DROP OFF AROUND
SUNSET AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HRS. SPEEDS STILL REMAIN AROUND 10KTS
HOWEVER...SO NOT EXPECTING TEMPS TO DROP OFF AS MUCH AS THEY
NORMALLY WOULD WITH A CLEAR SKY AND WNW WIND. EXPECTING LOWS IN THE
MID TO UPR 30S FOR MOST OF THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH BUILDS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES ON FRI. NW FLOW AND LIGHTER
WINDS WILL MEAN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS COMPARED TO TODAY...UPR 50S TO
LWR 60S MOST LOCATIONS (LWR TO MID 50S OVER THE EASTERN SHORE). WENT
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THICKNESSES WOULD INDICATE DUE TO STRONGER W
FLOW.

A LOW MVS THROUGH THE GULF COAST STATES EARLY SAT AND INTO THE
CAROLINAS BY MIDDAY. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF SYSTEM
AND WHILE THE GFS AND ECMWF AGREE ON TRACK OF LOW...THE NAM IS
SLIGHTLY FURTHER SOUTH (KEEPING OUR AREA A BIT DRIER). STUCK CLOSER
TO THE GFS/ECMWF SOLN FOR NOW...AND LEFT HIGH END CHANCE POPS IN THE
FCST FOR SAT AFTN/EVNG. DONT THINK THE PRECIP WILL START EARLY
ENOUGH FOR A LARGE THREAT OF SN OR MIXED PRECIP...BUT WE COULD SEE A
FEW FLAKES IN OUR EXTREME NORTHERN COUNTIES EARLY SAT
MORNING...QUICKLY SWITCHING TO JUST RAIN BY EARLY TO MID MORNING.
LOW QUICKLY MVS OFF THE COAST LATER SAT EVNG...AND MVS ALL PRECIP
OFFSHORE BEFORE ONSET OF COOLER AIR OVERNIGHT.

SUNDAY STARTS OUT DRY WITH W FLOW ALOFT BUT ANOTHER FAST MVG LOW MVS
SOUTH OF THE AREA LATER IN THE DAY...SO EXPECT PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND
SLIGHT CHANCES OF RAIN IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES IN THE AFTN/EVNG
HRS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A COUPLE WEAK AREAS OF LO PRES WILL MOVE EWRD AND OFF THE CST SAT
NGT INTO SUN MORNG...WITH ANY RAIN SHRAS (POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SNOW
SHRAS) IN THE ENE...ENDING SAT EVENG. LRG AREA OF HI PRES WILL THEN
GRADUALLY BLD FM THE NRN PLAINS SE INTO AND OVR THE REGION SUN THRU
TUE. LO PRES AREAS WILL APPROACH THE AREA FM THE WSW ON WED LIKELY
BRINGING THE CHC FOR RAIN/RAIN SHRAS.

MAX TEMPS WILL BE IN THE MID 40S TO LWR 50S SUN...AND GENERALLY
RANGE THRU THE 40S MON THRU WED. MIN TEMPS WILL BE IN THE UPR 20S TO
NR 40 SUN MORNG...IN THE MID 20S TO MID 30S MON MORNG...RANGE THRU
THE 20S TO LWR 30S TUE MORNG...AND IN THE MID 20S TO MID 30S WED
MORNG.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WINDS ARE OUT OF THE W AT 20-25 KNOT WITH GUSTS TO 35-40 KNOTS.
CROSSWIND CONCERNS REMAIN AT SOME OF THE AIRPORTS INCLUDING
KRIC...KSBY AND KORF. WIND GUSTS DECREASE THRU THE EVE HRS AS THE
GRADIENT DECREASES...XPCT WINDS AROUND 10 KTS AFTER MIDNITE AND
BREEZY CONDITIONS W 10 TO 15 KTS ALONG THE COAST FRI.

CIGS/VSBYS RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE OVER SRN PORTIONS OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH
THE CAROLINAS SUN INTO MON.

&&

.MARINE...
GALE HEADLINES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL WTRS THRU LATE TNT...AS
STRNG WRLY WNDS CONTINUE (GUSTS ABV 35 KTS). CONDITIONS IMPROVE LATE
TNT INTO FRI. A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL MOVE OVER THE
CAROLINAS AND OFFSHORE THIS WKND AND INTO ERLY NEXT WK...WHICH WILL
MAKE FOR A TOUGH FORECAST IN WIND DIRECTION.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
RH VALUES CURRENTLY AROUND 20% ACROSS MUCH OF INTERIOR VA/NC...AND
25-30% ELSEWHERE. IN ADDITION...DRY 10 HOUR FUELS DUE TO LACK OF
PRECIP YESTERDAY. RED FLAG WARNING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 9 PM EST
