HURLEY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
1044 AM EDT SAT AUG 22 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TODAY...AND
WILL DRIFT ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH SUNDAY...BEFORE DISSIPATING ON
MONDAY. MEANWHILE...HURRICANE BILL WILL PASS SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES
EAST OF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST LATE SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MORNING UPDATE TO FCST DID NOT RESULT IN ANY MAJOR CHANGES FROM
PREVIOUS PACKAGE. DEEP WARM LAYER CONVEYOR BELT PUMPING IN SUPERFLUOUS
MOISTURE. PWATS ALSO STILL AROUND 2 INCHES. DID ADD HEAVY RAIN
WORDING FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING DUE TO THESE FACTORS...AND AS
WE HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING WITH THIS
MORNINGS ACTIVITY. A PERSISTENT BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED TS IS CURRENTLY OVER THE LWR MD ERN SHORE.
THESE ECHOES CONTINUE TO TRAIN AND BACK BUILD OVER THE SAME
AREA...BUT SHOULD SLOWLY ADVANCE TOWARD THE COAST THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE MORNING.

OTW...OTHER ACTIVITY FROM EARLIER THIS MORNING HAS
DIMINISHED...HOWEVER REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS A RATHER SOLID
LINE OF DEVELOPING MODERATE/HEAVY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TS SLOWLY
CRAWLING OUR WAY. THIS IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE ACTUAL COLD
FRONTAL AXIS WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL VA LATER TODAY...AND
OFFSHORE BY EARLY SUN. THIS BAND OF SHRA/TS IS ALSO MOVING IN A
NNE DIRECTION (RATHER THAN A QUICKER EASTERLY DIRECTION)...WHICH
WILL HELP TO PRODUCE PERSISTENT RAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS BEGINNING
IN OUR AREA WITH THE ERN VA PIEDMONT BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

ALSO...SPC HAS UPDATED THE DAY 1 OUTLOOK TO INCLUDE ALL OF OUR
COUNTIES/CITIES IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WX. THE MAIN THREAT
WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS (WET MICROBURSTS POSSIBLE). ONE OF THE MAIN
INHIBITING FACTORS WILL BE THE MO CLOUDY/CLOUDY CONDITIONS
CURRENTLY IN PLACE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WRN HALF OF THE FA. DO
EXPECT SOME BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON
WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR SOME STRONG SFC HEATING. ONLY MINIMAL SHEAR
CURRENTLY PROGGED SO AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTIVE THREAT IS
SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN.

MAX T FORECAST FOR TODAY WAS DEFINITELY A CHALLENGE...AND WILL BE
GREATLY DEPENDANT ON WHERE HEAVIEST PCPN/CLOUD CVR LINES UP. HV
GONE CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE WITH TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE MID 80S
INLAND...TO M/U 80S OVER SERN VA. OVER EASTERN SHORE...ON SHORE
FLOW WL HOLD TEMPS DOWN A BIT...HIGHS GENERALLY L/M80S.

TONIGHT...
AS SLOW MOVING FRONT MOVES EASTWARD TONIGHT...SO TOO DOES THE HEAVY
RAIN THREAT GRADUALLY TRANSLATE FROM WEST TO THE EASTERN CWA TONIGHT.
WL CONTINUE TO HV LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN GRIDS FOR EAST OF
I-95 THROUGH MIDNIGHT....AND WL REMOVE POPS OVER THE WEST WELL
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS MODEST MIDLVL DRYING COMMENCES. CLEARING MAY
TAKE A BIT LONGER THAN INITIALLY EXPECTED...SO HIKED PRVS MIN
FORECAST UP A DEGREE OR TWO ON AVG. LOWS GENERALLY L/M60S
INLAND...U60S/NR 70 AT THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
SUNDAY...
UPR LVL TROF CROSSES THE AREA...WITH THE NAM/EURO (AND THE SREF
TO A WEAKER DEGREE) SPINNING UP A VORTMAX ACROSS THE NC PIEDMONT
ERY SUNDAY MORNING...TAKING IT ACROSS HAMPTON ROADS THROUGH
MIDDAY. MEANWHILE...THE COLD FRONT FINALLY SLIDES JUST OFFSHORE
SUNDAY MORNING...STALLING OUT THROUGH ERY MONDAY BEFORE
DISSIPATING TO BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE WEST. WILL HOLD
ONTO SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA/TS DURING THE DAY SUN IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE UPR DISTURBANCE AND WITH REMNANT LLVL MOISTURE POOLING
ALONG THE FRONT...ALTHOUGH WILL KEEP POPS OUT ACROSS THE WESTERN
CWA.

MAX TEMPS SUN A BIT WARMER WITH DRYING AIRMASS AND CLEARING
OCCURRING...MID TO UPR 80S. MIN TEMPS SUN NIGHT WILL BE SLIGHTLY
COOLER THAN TONIGHT...LWR 60S ERN VA PIEDMONT TO RIGHT AROUND 70
AT THE BEACHES.

MONDAY...
HIGH PRES CONTINUES TO BUILD IN FROM THE W MONDAY...SETTING UP A
MORE TRANQUIL WX PATTERN FOR THE REGION. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AGAIN
ON MON FOR TYPICAL SCT AFTN/EVNG DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION. MAX
TEMPS MON WILL BE MID TO UPR 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE LATEST GFS/ECMWF RUNS APPEAR TO BE IN DECENT ACCORD THROUGH
MID-WEEK IN TERMS OF THE MAIN FEATURES AFFECTING THE MID ATLC
REGION. THEREAFTER...COMPARED TO THE ECMWF THE GFS IS A BIT MORE
AMPLIFIED (DEEPER) WITH THE LONGWAVE UPR TROUGH TRAVERSING THE
NERN CONUS LATE IN THE WEEK/EARLY IN THE WEEK. UNTIL LATE IN THE
WEEK (THU/FRI)...WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION LOOKS RATHER BENIGN
WITH NOTHING OTHER THAN TYPICAL DIURNALLY DRIVEN AFTERNOON/EVENING
ISOLATED SHRA/TS ACTIVITY (SLIGHT CHANCE 20%)...AND DRY OVERNIGHT.
FOR NOW...GIVEN THE ECMWF/GFS DISCREPANCY WITH THE NRN TROUGH BY
FRI...HAVE CAPPED POPS TO 20% (NEAR CLIMO NORMS) ON FRI AS WELL.
THE GFS WOULD SUGGEST A MORE VIGOROUS COLD FRONT PLOWING S THROUGH
THE FCST REGION THU NIGHT/FRI (WITH 850 MB TEMPS FALLING AOB 10C)...
WHEREAS THE ECMWF IS MUCH MORE WEAKER/FLATTER WITH THE UPR TROUGH
AND THUS MORE BAROTROPIC IN NATURE...I.E. WITH THE FRONT
ESSENTIALLY WASHING OUT BY THE TIME IT DROPS INTO THE MID ATLC REGION.
