AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
405 PM EDT WED JUL 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A LARGE UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EAST ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND SOUTHERN QUEBEC THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. SEVERAL WEAK TROUGHS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL ROTATE AROUND THE
LOW...WITH MOST REMAINING NORTH OF THE MASON DIXON LINE. THE
UPPER LOW WILL MOVE OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS DEPICTS CENTER OF MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE OVER
SERN ONTARIO/ERN MI.

MAIN FCST CHALLENGE THROUGH THIS EVENING WAS WITH DIAGNOSING SVR
WX POTENTIAL THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. LATEST IN A SERIES OF
VORT LOBES PIVOTING AROUND THE BOTTOM PERIMETER OF THE UPPER LOW
TODAY. THIS FEATURE WL DIG A BIT FARTHER SOUTH THAN ITS
PREDECESSORS...MOVING FROM OH VLY INTO THE MID-ATL THROUGH LTR
THIS EVENING. SPC TRIMMED BACK SLIGHT RISK AREA SLIGHTLY...NOW
INCLUDING NWRN THIRD OF AKQ CWA (APPROXIMATELY A FVX-RIC-WAL
LINE) IN DAY 1 SLIGHT RISK.

DEWPOINTS REMAIN A BIT ON THE LOW SIDE FOR CONVECTION ACROSS OUR
AREA...AND THIS CONTRIBUTED TO AFOREMENTIONED CLIPPING OF SLGT
RISK. HOWEVER...CONVECTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO FIRE UPSTREAM
ACROSS WV...SOUTH INTO WESTERN NC/VA. RUC CONTINUES TO DEPICT BEST
CORRIDOR OF WEAK TO MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR OVER OUR AREA WILL SET
UP ACROSS PIEDMONT COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...SOUTH TO
JUST NORTH OF THE I-85/I-95 CORRIDOR OF SOUTHSIDE/CENTRAL VA.
COULD HV A FEW STORMS CREEP INTO OUR CWA WITHIN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. RUC DEPICTING STEEP LLVL LAPSE RATES UPWARDS OF 9 DEG C/KM.
THIS ALONG WITH DEEP LYR BULK SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 30-40 KT
SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FEW ISO/WIDELY SCT TSRAS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE
INTO OUR AREA THIS AFTN AS VORT MAX TO OUR NORTH RIDES EASTWARD.
ONCE THESE STORMS DEVELOP... BRN/BRN SHEAR VALUES OF 40-60 M2S2
OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA INDICATE THAT ATMOSPHERE WL LKLY
BE ABLE TO SUPPORT SOME AREAS ORGANIZED CONVECTION...INCLUDING
POTENTIALLY A FEW SUPERCELLS AND/OR BOWING LINE SEGMENTS. HWO
CURRENTLY REFLECTS THIS THREAT OVER THE SLIGHT RISK AREA AND WONT
MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THIS FOR NOW.

CONVECTION THAT DOES FIRE SHOULD DIMINISH IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY
AFTER SS. CUT BACK POPS TO LOW CHC NORTH/SLIGHT CHC SOUTH FOR A
FEW SHRAS AS VORT MAX EXITS TO THE NE OVERNIGHT. ONCE AGAIN USED A
MOS BLEND FOR EARLY MORNING LOWS. L/M 60S INLAND...U60S/L70S SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM PERIOD WL BE CHARACTERIZED BY CONTINUED INTERACTION
WITH CUTOFF LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. PRIMARY CHALLENGE FOR
THE PERIOD WAS IN DIAGNOSING RAIN CHCS.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY...

SIMILAR WX STORY TOMORROW...WITH S/W ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE
UPR LOW. A BUILDING UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS
WILL SHUNT GREAT LAKES UPPER LOW SLIGHTLY OFF TO THE NORTHEAST BY
MIDDAY TOMORROW. AS A RESULT...BEST RAIN CHANCES SHIFT A BIT
FARTHER NORTH. AS SUCH...CONTINUED TO CONFINE SLIGHT CHC POPS TO
N OF I-64...COINCIDENT TO BETTER DPVA AND CONVERGENCE VALUES...AND
ALSO WHERE CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS ARE SLIGHTLY MORE FAVORABLE. ONCE
AGAIN...THE NAM REMAINS MORE BULLISH ON POPS...THE GFS DECIDEDLY
LESS SO. UTILIZED ISOLATED WORDING AT MOST TOMORROW GIVEN THE
CONTINUED DEEP WESTERLY (DOWNSLOPE) COMPONENT IN THE LOWER
LEVELS. DOWNSLOPE FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY COOLER HIGHS VS
THOSE ATTAINED TODAY. LOOKING FOR MAXIMA IN THE MID-UPR 80S OVER
THE LWR ERN SHORE...WITH MID 80S TO LWR 90S ELSEWHERE (WARMEST
SE).

FRIDAY...

UPR TROF FINALLY STARTS TO PIVOT EASTWARD WITH DEEP LAYER NWLY
FLOW MARKING MUCH OF FRIDAY. THE RESULT SHOULD KEEP MUCH OF THE
CWA DRY ON FRIDAY WITHOUT ANY REAL TRIGGERS FOR CONVECTION. TEMPS
DURING THE DAY A LITTLE COOLER WITH THE 850 MB THERMAL TROUGH
PIVOTING ACROSS THE REGION...I.E. HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S.

INDEPENDENCE DAY (SAT)...

UPR PATTERN CONTINUES TO DEAMPLIFY TO BECOME A BIT MORE
PROGRESSIVE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS...AS UPR LOW EXITS
OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. GFS A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH
ADVANCING MOISTURE/CONVECTION FROM THE MO/TN VLYS EASTWARD THAN
THE ECMWF. AT THE SFC...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION FROM
THE SW. CONSIDERING THAT MODELS DO AGREE ON AT LEAST A RELATIVELY
WEAK DYNAMIC PROFILE...WL KEEP POPS AT SILENT OR LESS FOR NOW.
HIGHS ON THE 4TH SHOULD BE RIGHT AROUND/JUST ABV CLIMATOLOGICAL
NORMS: UPR80S/L90S INLAND...WITH M/U80S OVER THE EASTERN SHORE.
HOWEVER...IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF THE ECMWF SOLN
VERIFIES...TEMPERATURES FOR THE 4TH MAY NEED TO BE BUMPED UP
SLIGHTLY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FCST AREA WILL REMAIN IN GENERALLY A WNW FLO ALOFT FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. GOING WITH A COMBINATION OF THE 12Z GFS/00Z ECMWF. ONE FRNT
SLIDES OFF THE CST SAT NGT INTO SUN MORNG...WITH WEAK HI PRES BLDNG
OVR THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF SUN. LATE SUN THRU MON NGT...A
FRNTL BNDRY WILL LAY TO OUR S ACRS THE CAROLINAS...WITH WEAK AREAS
OF LO PRES MOVNG ALNG IT AND OFF THE CST. WILL HAVE SLGT TO SML CHCS
FOR PCPN...ESPLY SUN NGT THRU MON. HI PRES WILL THEN BLD IN FM THE
NNW FOR TUE THRU WED.

MAX TEMPS WILL RANGE THRU THE 80S TO NR 90 THRU THE PERIOD. MIN
TEMPS WILL RANGE FM THE LWR 60S TO THE LWR 70S.

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR ACROSS THE CWA. BIG UPPER LOW STILL SPINNING OVER GRT LAKES
REGION WITH MAJOR TROF AXIS INTO MID ATLC. SERIES OF WEAK SHT WAVE
TROFS CONT TO ROTATE INTO THE REGION. SOUTHERLY FLOW AND
INCREASING MOISTURE WILL BRING CHC OF SCATTERED TSTMS FOR THE AREA
LATE AFTN/EVENING AS ANOTHER WAVE APPROACHES AND PASSES THRU. NOT
LOOKING FOR MUCH FOG OVERNIGHT AS CLOUDS WILL LIKELY PERSIST THRU
MUCH OF THE NIGHT. WNDS WILL SHFT W-NW BEHND WEAK FRONT THU MRNG
THAT MOVES OFF THE COAST THEN TURN S-SW DURING THE AFTN. ANOTHER
WAVE PASSING THRU LATE THU WILL BRING ANOTHER CHC FOR SCT/ISOLD
TSTMS. AXIS OF MAJOR TROF WILL MOVE OFFSHORE ON FRI AND W-NW WNDS
WILL KEEP US MOSTLY DRY.
