Severe Thunderstorm Warning 161, NWS Wakefield, VA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
348 PM EDT MON JUL 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH PERSISTS OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD THIS WEEK
AS A SERIES OF WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARIES AFFECT THE MID-ATLANTIC
REGION. THERE WILL BE CHANCES FOR RAIN EACH DAY WITH SEASONABLE
TEMPS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SVR TS WATCH #595 HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 02Z. LARGE SWATH OF MID/HIGH
CLOUDS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS OF THE FA ASSOCIATED WITH A DIFFUSE
COLD FRONT HAS KEPT TEMPS 5-10 DEGREES LOWER THERE THAN FURTHER TO
THE SOUTH WHERE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES HAVE ALLOWED STRONG LOW-LEVEL
DESTABILIZATION. MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY HAS
TRIGGERED STORMS ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA AND EXTREME WESTERN VA THAT
WILL IMPACT THE LOCAL AREA LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. CONVECTION HAS ALSO INITIATED TO THE WEST IN RESPONSE TO A
WELL- DEFINED WSW-ESE ORIENTED BOUNDARY SHOWN IN A SFC THETA
ANALYSIS. AS FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...A BOUNDARY
OVER SOUTHEAST VA IS EVIDENT IN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND WILL
LIKELY TRIGGER STORMS AS THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS ARE FAVORABLE.
OTHER BOUNDARIES ARE STARTING TO BECOME BETTER DEFINED...AND WILL
HAVE TO WATCH THESE CLOSELY AS WELL.

AS FAR AS SEVERE POTENTIAL...HIGHER DEEP-LAYER SHEAR THAN YESTERDAY
WITH UP TO 30 KT POSSIBLE...ALLOWING FOR DECENT TS ORGANIZATION
AND MAINTENANCE IN CONJUNCTION WITH MLCAPES OF 2000-3000 J/KG.
ALTHOUGH MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE MARGINAL...LOW-LEVEL THETA-E IS
FAVORABLE. K INDICES NEAR 40 AND TOTAL TOTALS OVER 50. MAIN SVR
THREAT WILL BE STRONG DOWNDBURSTS ASSOCIATED WITH STEEP LOW-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AS DEPICTED BY MODEL SOUNDINGS. FLOODING RAINS ARE
ALSO POSSIBLE AS PWATS REACH OR EXCEED 2 IN AND H85-H3 FLOW IS NOT
PARTICULARLY STRONG. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS OVER A COUPLE INCHES
OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE IN SOME SPOTS. LOW TEMPS TONIGHT WILL RANGE
FROM THE MID 60S TO MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS AN UPPER
TROUGH TAKES SHAPE OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD. AFOREMENTIONED COLD
FRONT WILL STALL OVER THE FA TUESDAY. LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT
TIMING OF ANY PRECIP THIS WEEK AS SEVERAL SHORTWAVES ARE EMBEDDED
IN THE UPPER CYCLONIC FLOW...BUT PRESENCE OF WEAK FRONT OVER THE
FA AND PLENTY OF DIURNAL LOW-LEVEL INSTABILITY EACH DAY WILL MAKE
SHOWERS AND STORMS POSSIBLE...THUS CHANCE POPS WARRANTED.
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITH WEAK STEERING FLOW
ALOFT AND PWATS CONSISTENTLY NEAR 2 IN. TEMPS WILL BE
SEASONABLE...HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S...AND LOW TEMPS
IN THE MID 60S TO MID 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
FCST REGION TO REMAIN ON THE SRN END OF THE LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH
THU NIGHT INTO FRI. DURING THIS TIME BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF CONTINUE TO
SHOW A SLOW MOVING SW-NE ORIENTED FRONT. THE PRESENCE OF THIS
FRONT...AIDED BY SOME WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY...ALONG WITH AMPLE
LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE (1000-500 MB MEAN RH'S ABOVE 70%)
PROVIDES SUFFICIENT CONFIDENCE IN THAT WE SHOULD SEE AT LEAST
SCATTERED CONVECTION THROUGH THU EVENING. POPS THU NIGHT INTO FRI
MORNING WILL REMAIN HIGHEST OVER SERN VA AND NERN NC...CLOSEST TO
THE SFC BNDRY JUXTAPOSITIONED WITH THE LLVL THETA-E RIDGE...WHERE THE
RAIN WILL BE MOST BENEFICIAL CONSIDERING THE CURRENT DROUGHT STATUS.

ON FRI...GFS/ECMWF CONSENSUS HAS THE SFC BNDRY A BIT FARTHER SOUTH...
I.E. ALONG OR SOUTH OF THE VA/NC BORDER (GFS IS FARTHEST S)...WITH
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER...ANTICYCLONIC N-NE FLOW BUILDING IN AT
LOW LEVELS FROM THE N. GIVEN THE MODEL DISCREPANCIES IN TERMS OF THE
FRONT'S EVENTUAL WHEREABOUTS...DID NOT FEEL CONFIDENT TO REMOVE POPS
COMPLETELY OVER THE NRN ZONES ON FRI (I.E. N OF RIC).

BY THE START OF NEXT WEEKEND...VERY SIMILAR DEAL AS ON FRI...WITH
THE LLVL BNDRY VERY LIKELY NEAR OR SOUTH OF THE VA/NC BORDER...WHILE
BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF AGAIN SHOW A BROAD SWATH OF HIGHER (>80%)
1000-500 MB MEAN RH (I.E. THE WARN CONVEYOR BELT) EXTENDING ACROSS
THE ERN GULF UP THROUGH THE CAROLINAS. ONCE AGAIN...THE GFS IS
FARTHEST S WITH THE SFC FRONT (AND THUS DRIER TO THE N). POPS ON SAT
RANGE FROM SLIGHT OR 20% CHANCES FROM FVX-RIC AND AREAS N (AOB 12 HR
CLIMO)...INCREASING TO 40% OVER NERN NC. ON SUNDAY...BOTH MODELS
HAVE THE FRONT FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO WARRANT A RAIN-FREE FCST FROM
FVX-RIC NORTH. ELSEWHERE...20-30% POPS...AGAIN HIGHEST AS YOU HEAD
FARTHER S INTO NERN NC. A WEAK TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NW MAY
YIELD ISOLATED-SCATTERED CONVECTION ON MONDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER
INTERIOR PTNS.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO CLIMO NORMS THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD...I.E. GENERALLY RANGING BTWN 85-90F (COOLEST ALONG THE ATLC
COASTS).

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR CONDS ACROSS THE REGION WITH MOSTLY HI CLOUDS EARLY THIS AFTN
AND SOME SMOKE/HAZE AFFECTING ECG/ORF/PHF FROM WILDFIRES IN SRN
NC. WEAK FRONTL BNDRY ACROSS NRN VA AND TROF FROM DELMARVA TO WRN
NC. FRONT WILL BE MOSTLY STNRY ACROSS NRN VA THRU THE TAF PERIOD.
EXPECT TO SEE TSTMS FOCUSED ON THE TROF THIS AFTN THRU THE EVENING
HOURS. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS STORMS WILL CLUSTER HEAVILY ACROSS THE
SRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA DURING LATE AFTN AND EVENING. TSTMS COULD
PSBL PERSIST THRU MIDNIGHT ESP FOR SE VA AND NE NC. PTCHY IFR VSBY
WITH HZ/FOG/SMOKE OVERNIGHT.

OUTLOOK: VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL TUE THROUGH WED...OUTSIDE OF
ANY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP.

&&

.MARINE...
NO FLAGS EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
REMAIN ANCHORED OFFSHORE...AS WEAK SFC TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. A WEAK/DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS
TOWARDS THE REGION TONIGHT/EARLY TUES (AIDED BY THE CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY)...WHICH WILL BRIEFLY ALLOW WINDS TO BECOME W-NW
NORTHERN/CENTRAL MARINE ZONES....BEFORE BECOME S ALL AREAS BY LATE
TUESDAY WITH SPEEDS AGAIN AVERAGING AOB 15KT. SEAS AVG 2 FT
NEARSHORE TO 3-4 FT OUT NR 20 NM.
