AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED MARINE HEADLINE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
404 AM EDT THU SEP 10 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST WILL APPROACH THE
SOUTHERN DELMARVA PENINSULA TODAY AND PUSH NORTHWARD NEAR OR JUST
EAST OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY TONIGHT...AS AN UPPER LOW SLOWLY LIFTS
NORTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. LOW PRESSURE WILL BE SLOW
TO DEPART ON FRIDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY BUILDS OVER THE
AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
ISOLATED SHOWERS CURRENTLY PUSHING WWD THRU THE CWA...ESP E OF THE
BLUE RIDGE...AS RICH ELY FLOW AT 850MB OVERRIDES A STABLE THOUGH
NEARLY SATURATED LAYER AT THE SFC. 1012MB NONTROPICAL LOPRES
ROUGHLY 200 KM OFFSHORE FROM THE TIDEWATER REGION GATHERING STRENGTH
WITH CNVCTN FLARING NEAR IT EARLY THIS MRNG. AT THE UPR
LEVELS...CLOSED 500MB LOW OVER SW VA CLEARLY EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR
LOOP.

NE WINDS ALREADY INCRSNG TO 15 KTS OR SO ERN ZONES...AND WILL INCR
FURTHER AS GRADIENT TIGHTENS THROUGH THE DAY. SFC LOW WILL WORK NE
TOWARD SRN TIP OF DELMAR BY LATE AFTN...WITH SURGING PLUME OF WARM
850-700MB LAYER MOISTURE SPILLING NWWD ACRS MD. -RA SHIELD SHOULD
SPREAD WWD THRU ERN ZONES...MAINLY EAST OF THE POTOMAC RIVER BY LATE
AFTN...WITH SCT LIGHT SHOWERS FURTHER WEST.

BEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT RAIN WILL BE TOWARDS THE END OF THE
PERIOD...RIGHT ALONG THE WESTERN CHESAPEAKE SHORE...WHERE MODEST
INSTABILITY MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO COMBINE WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE LOW
LEVEL SHEAR TO INITIATE SOME CONVECTION.

TEMPS WILL NOT DEVIATE MUCH FROM CURRENT READINGS IN MID 60S...XCPT
FOR WRN ZONES WHICH MAY BE ABLE TO RISE 10 TO 15 DEGREES FROM THIS
MRNGS MINIMA. WENT CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE FOR MAXIMA...AS MET FCSTNG
HI TEMPS 5 DEGREES COOLER THAN CURRENT READINGS MOST AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
WIDESPREAD RAIN TONIGHT NE HALF OF CWA AS LOW LIFTS NWD ACRS DELMARVA
THANKS TO LIFTING OF UPR SYSTEM TO THE WEST. NE WINDS RMN 10-20KTS
AND GRADUALLY BECOME MORE NLY IN DIRECTLY. QPF HIGHEST OVER
BALTIMORE METRO AND POINTS NORTH AND EAST...WHERE TOTALS SHOULD
AVERAGE AROUND 1 INCH. SLIGHTLY DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR
FILTERS IN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SFC LOW TOWARDS MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE RETROGRADES CLOSER TO NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST BY 12Z FRIDAY...THEN IS LIKELY TO START SLOWLY LIFTING
NORTHEAST LATER FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY IN TANDEM WITH THE UPPER
TROUGH AS LOW PRESSURE MOVING INLAND APPEARS TO BE AN OUTLIER
SOLUTION. NEVERTHELESS...LOW PRESSURE WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO
ALLOW RAIN TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA FRIDAY. 21Z SREFS
SEEMS TO OFFER A DECENT SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL COMPROMISE REGARDING
PROBABILITIES OF RAIN...WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE NORTH AND
LOWEST POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH...DECREASING FURTHER FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH FRIDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE DELMARVA TOWARD
NEW ENGLAND. BY FRIDAY...RAINFALL WILL NOT BE ALL THAT HEAVY...BUT
MAY BE STEADY ENOUGH ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS FOR ANOTHER
QUARTER TO HALF INCH.

STILL COULD HAVE A FEW LEFTOVER WRAP AROUND SHOWERS SATURDAY
/ESPECIALLY NEAR THE MASON DIXON LINE/ BEFORE THE TROUGH COMPLETELY
DEPARTS...BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IMPROVED OVER FRIDAY AND THIS
INCLUDED THE POTENTIAL FOR CLOUDS TO BREAK FOR SOME SUNSHINE DURING
THE AFTERNOON.

HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT BUILD IN SUNDAY...AND LIKELY
HOLD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...HIGH
PRESSURE SHOULD WEAKEN WHICH MAY PAVE THE WAY FOR UNSETTLED
CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN DISAGREEMENT AS TO
EXACTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND HOW THE PATTERN WILL EVOLVE.
THEREFORE...HAVE MADE NO CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST WHICH LEANED
TOWARD HPC GUIDANCE.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NE WINDS AT THE SFC HAVE INCREASED TO 10-20KTS URBAN CORRIDOR
TAFS...ERODING SOME OF THE LOWER CIGS AND KEEPING CONDITIONS VFR.
PERIODIC LOWER CIGS OF 2-3KFT EXPECT THROUGH 16Z...BEFORE MAIN AREA
OF PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO SPREAD WEST...ARRIVING AT BWI/MTN
FIRST...THEN DCA/IAD BY 18-20Z...THEN MRB TOWARD 0Z. RAIN SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND NIGHT...ALTHOUGH LIGHT
INTENSITY PRECIPITATION SUGGESTS VIS SHOULD REMAIN MVFR OR GREATER
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS EVENING CIGS MAY LOWER AGAIN TO MVFR...AND
REMAIN THERE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.

LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE AREA FRIDAY...WITH
WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS AND POSSIBLE IFR CIGS ALONG WITH MVFR VSBYS IN
RAIN. CONDITIONS MAY BE SLOW TO IMPROVE FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT SHOULD
IMPROVE TO VFR BY SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEPARTS. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
GALE WARNING INITIATED AT 12Z FOR MD CHESAPEAKE AS BUFKIT WIND
PROFILE...WRF-ARW RUNS...AND SURFACE OBS INDICATED GRADIENT WILL
TIGHTEN SUFFICIENTLY FOR 25-30KT WINDS OVER THE WATERS THROUGH THE
DAY TODAY...WITH GUSTS TO 40KTS AT TIMES. STRONG SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CRITERIA WINDS XPCD OVER TIDAL POTOMAC THROUGH THE DAY.
WINDS LESSEN TONIGHT BELOW GALE...BUT 15-25KT WINDS SHOULD PERSIST
PAST MIDNIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS THIS MORNING WILL TURN TO STEADY
RAIN BY AFTERNOON...CONTINUING INTO THE NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE WORKS
UP THE DELMARVA. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL.

MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WIND GUSTS MAY BE POSSIBLE TO START
FRIDAY MORNING...HOWEVER GRADIENT WILL LESSEN DURING THE DAYTIME AS
LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEAST UP TOWARD THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. LESS
WIND CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE WATERS.
