Tornado Warning 27, NWS Wakefield, VA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
408 PM EDT THU JUL 23 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTH ALONG THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST THROUGH THIS
EVENING....BEFORE ACCELERATING AWAY FROM THE AREA OVERNIGHT.
MEANWHILE...A WEAK TROUGH LOOKS TO DEVELOP WEST OF THE CHESAPEAKE
BAY LATE TONIGHT...REMAINING IN PLACE THROUGH FRIDAY. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE SOUTH FOR THE WEEKEND...BEFORE
ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS SHOWING ONE AREA SFC LOW PRESSURE NOW CENTERED
ABOUT 100 MILES OFF THE DELMARVA COAST...AND TRACKING FARTHER
OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT. TO OUR WEST A COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY
POSITIONED ALONG THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS AND MOVING ONLY
VERY SLOWLY TO THE EAST. FOR THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...EXPECT
SCTD SHWR/TSTM COVERAGE THROUGH AT LEAST THE EARLY EVENING HRS...WITH
A DECREASE IN COVERAGE EXPECTED SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. WV SATL DOES
INDICATE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER WEAK SHORTWAVE OVER THE FAR
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THAT WILL RIDE ENE OVERNIGHT SO WILL KEEP A
20% POP GOING ALL NIGHT FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF ISO SHWRS. CONCERNING
THREAT FOR SEVERE WX...DEEP LAYER SHEAR (0-6KM) IS RATHER MINIMAL
AND CAPES HAVE BEEN HELD IN CHECK BY PTLY/MCDY SKIES SO OVERALL
THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WX IS FAIRLY LOW. AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE
THOUGH...A FEW ISO STRONGER STORMS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR (AS THEY
HAVE BEEN UPSTREAM OVER THE NC PIEDMNT THIS AFTN). AFTER
SUNSET...ANY SVR THREAT SHOULD SUBSIDE. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE
FROM THE LWR 70S SE TO THE MID 60S OVER THE WEST (WHERE DEW PTS
LOWER A BIT TWDS MORNING). DEPENDING UPON AMT OF CLEARING AND
MIXING OVERNIGHT...FOG CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY (BEST CHC LOOKS TO
BE OVER THE PIEDMNT AND MD ERN SHORE). HAVE LEFT IT FOR NOW AND
WILL RE-ASSESS TRENDS LATER THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ON FRI...HAVE RETAINED A LOW CHC FOR SHRA ERLY IN THE MRNG ALONG
THE ERN 1/3 OF THE CWA AS SOME LOW LVL MSTR CONV IS INDICATED BY
ALL THE MODELS...WITH SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR PUSHING IN FROM THE WEST
BY MID MRNG. GENERALLY FRI LOOKS TO BE A DRIER DAY THAN TODAY...AS
MODEST WESTERLY FLOW (10-15 KT IN BNDRY LAYER) TAKES OVER. NAM/GFS
DIFFER IN THEIR FCST OF 500MB HGTS AND THE SUBSEQUENT TRACK OF THE
UPR LOW. IF THE NAM WERE TO VERIFY...THERE COULD BE A DECENT SVR
THREAT ACRS THE NRN NECK AND ERN SHORE WITH PRETTY STEEP LAPSE
RATES AND DEEP LYR SHEAR > 40 KTS. THE GFS IS FARTHER NORTH AND
WOULD SUGGEST TOO MUCH DRY AIR TAKES OVER AND ONLY VERY ISO TSTM
ACTIVITY WILL BE ABLE TO DEVELOP. FOLLOWING A BLEND AT THIS TIME
KEEPING POPS IN CHC (30-40%) RANGE OVER ERN SHORE/NRN NECK AND
ONLY ISO (20%) ELSEWHERE. WITH A BIT MORE IN THE WAY OF SUNSHINE
THAN TODAY...AND SOME WESTERLY FLOW SHOULD SEE HIGH TEMPS A FEW
DEGREES WARMER...AROUND 90 INLAND VA/NC AND MID/UPR 80S ALONG THE
COAST.

SAT...GFS/NAM/ECMWF PROG WEAK UPR RIDGING ACRS THE MID ATLC/SE
STATES. THERE IS SOME INCREASE IN MSTR FROM THE S IN THE LWR LVLS
SO BUT WITH A LACK OF A TRIGGER WILL KEEP POPS LOWER (ONLY 20%
OVER THE LATE AFTN/ERLY EVENING). UNDERCUT MAV GDNC BY A FEW
DEGREES AS IT HAS BEEN TOO HOT ALL SUMMER..BUT DO ANTICIPATE A
WARM DAY WITH HIGHS INTO THE LWR 90S OVER MUCH OF INTERIOR VA/NC
AND UPR 80S TO AROUND 90 ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LONG TERM PERIOD CHARACTERIZED BY INCREASING INFLUENCE OF
STRENGTHENING BERMUDA HIGH TO THE SE. A BLEND OF HPC GUIDANCE AND
THE 00Z/ECMWF WAS THE BASE FOR THIS PACKAGE.

BETTER RAIN CHCS RETURN BY LATER SUNDAY..AS S/W OVER THE OH VLY
ROTATES AROUND BASE OF UPR LOW OVER SERN ONTARIO. ITLL APPROACH THE
REGION SUNDAY...PUSHING A FRONT TOWARDS THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY
SUNDAY. POPS HV BEEN ADJUSTED A BIT TO BE CONCENTRATED IN THE LTR
AFTN/EVENING SUNDAY...AND MAY HAVE TO PUSH A BIT FARTHER IF NEW
INCOMING 12Z/ECMWF VERIFIES. FRONT WL LKLY WASH OUT OVER OUR AREA BY
MONDAY...GIVEN STRENGTHENING BERMUDA HIGH TO THE SE. MODELS IN
GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN PERSISTING THIS FEATURE THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD. THE RESULT WL BRING DEEP LYR SW FLOW ALOFT AND
ALLOW FOR MORE TYPICAL SUMMER WX THAN WHAT HAS OCCURRED THUS FAR
OVER THE REGION. TO THE WEST...A WEAK AMPLITUDE LONG WAVE TROUGH
WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST....WITH
A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES SKIRTING OUR AREA FROM THE W AND SW FOR ERY
TO MID WEEK. ANOTHER FRONT LOOKS TO APPROACH THE REGION FOR THE
MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD...AND ALSO APPEARS TO WASH OUT AS IT RUNS
INTO THE STRONG SE RIDGE.

EXPECT POPS TO RUN SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO AT AROUND 40 PERCENT DURING
THE AFTN/EVENING AND 20 TO 30 PERCENT OVERNIGHTS/ERY MORNING. BEST
CHANCE FOR MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN TSTMS APPEAR TO BE MON AND THU IN
PROXIMITY TO THE FRONTAL SYSTEMS.

AS FOR TEMPS...HIGHS MAINLY UPR 80S TO LWR 90S...ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY
COOLER MON/TUE (M/U 80S) WITH THE MORE CONCENTRATED CLOUD COVER DUE
TO FRONT STALLED ACRS SE. LOW TEMPS IN THE 60S TO LWR 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE VA COAST WILL CONT TO MOVE N/NE. MAIN AREA OF
PCPN HAS MOVED AWAY FROM THE TAF SITES BUT SCT SHRA/FEW TS HAVE
DEVELOPED OVER CTRL VA. THESE WILL CONTINUE TIL 00Z AND INCL CB
AT ALL BUT ECG. TEMPO GROUP MENTIONED AT RIC 18-21Z FOR SHRA THAT
ARE DEVELOPING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY AS OF 18Z.

CEILINGS VARIED ABV AND BLW THE 3K THRESHOLD AT MOST LOCATIONS
THIS MORNING AND THIS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THIS AFTN. IFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT SBY OVERNIGHT BUT 4 TO 5 MI VSBY IN THE FCST
ELSEWHERE FOR THE EARLY MRNG.

FRI WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY EXCEPT FOR LWR CHC FOR SHRA/TS. NO MENTION
OF PCPN MADE AT THIS TIME.

MAINLY VFR EXPCTD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. CHC FOR MAINLY AFTN SHRA/TS
MON AND TUE. PATCHY IFR POSSIBLE IN EARLY MORNING FOG MAINLY AT SBY.

&&

.MARINE...
WNDS HV BECOME MORE N-NE OVER NORTHERN ZONES TODAY AS SFC LOW
PRESSURE OFF THE MID-ATL COAST CONTINUES TO RIDE NORTH ALONG THE
EASTERN SEABOARD. WINDS SHOULD BECOME LIGHT THIS EVENING OVER
NORTHERN ZONES AS LOW ACCELERATES TOWARDS NEW ENGLAND. MEANWHILE SE
WINDS ALONG SOUTHERN WATERS BECOME MORE SSW AS A WEAK SFC TROUGH IS
PROGGED TO DEVELOP TO THE WEST OF THE WATERS OVER THE PIEDMONT
OVERNIGHT.

WAVEWATCH CONTINUES TO BRING SEAS TO MARGINAL SCA CRIT (4 TO 5 FT)
FOR WAVEHGT (MAINLY IN SE SWELL)...SO WL KEEP SCA HEADLINES IN PLACE
FOR NOW OVER THE CSTL WTRS (MAINLY FOR SEAS) THROUGH FRIDAY AFTN.
WNDS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...AND STILL
EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE BY FRI NIGHT...ALLOWING FOR GOOD
BOATING CONDITIONS INTO THE WEEKEND. S-SE WINDS EXPECTED
SAT-SUN...BEFORE ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION TO THE WEST FOR
LATER SUNDAY. FRONT WILL LIKELY WEAKEN THEN STALL IN THE VCNTY OF
THE COAST ERY MON. EXPECT THE DAILY CYCLE OF SOMEWHAT HIGHER LATE
AFTN/EVENG WINDS TO CONTINUE...BUT GNLY REMAINING ARND 15 KT OR LESS
ALL ZONES.
