AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
345 PM EDT SAT AUG 13 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE STAYS OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT AS LOW
PRESSURE TRAVERSES THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ITS
ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACH FROM THE WEST SUNDAY. THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH
LOW PRESSURE LINGERING OVER THE AREA MONDAY. THIS PUSHES OFFSHORE
AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BEHIND IT FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LATEST RADAR MOSAIC INDICATES A BROAD AREA OF BOTH STRATIFORM AND
CONVECTIVE RAINS STRETCHING FROM NC UP THROUGH PA. HIGH CHANCE OR
LIKELY POPS FOR THE FA THROUGH THIS EVENING. KEY PLAYERS ARE
DECENT H85-7 MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND A WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
OVER CENTRAL NC AND VA. THE INCREASINGLY CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT AND
PERSISTENT MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL PROLONG THE PRECIP
TONIGHT...BEFORE SLOWLY DIMINISHING AS THE MAIN SYSTEM APPROACHES
FOR TOMORROW. MAIN THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED
FLOODING DUE TO AS AXIS OF GREATER THAN 2 IN PWAT AND SLIGHTLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW LEADING TO SOME TRAINING OF STORMS. SEVERE
STORMS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION BUT ARE UNLIKELY WITH THE LACK
OF DESTABILIZATION TODAY FROM ALL THE CLOUD COVER AROUND. LOWS
TONIGHT IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE MIDWEST TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG AS IT APPROACHES THE EASTERN U.S.
SUNDAY...PULLING A SFC FRONTAL SYSTEM ALONG. SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
IN THE MORNING WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALOFT AND A MOIST SOUTHERLY
LOW-LEVEL FLOW AHEAD AND ALONG A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY. RAIN
CHANCES WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY AS A SFC LOW APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL
FORM OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC...WITH A COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH THE
FA 00Z-12Z MONDAY. HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED AHEAD AND ALONG THE
COLD FRONT...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN AREAS. 1-2 INCHES IS
POSSIBLE...WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS.
DEEP LATER SHEAR VALUES APPROACHING 35 KT AND SEVERAL LIFTING
MECHANISMS IN A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT MAY LEAD TO ISOLATED
SEVERE STORMS...WITH THE MAIN THREAT DAMAGING WINDS. DEGREE OF
CLOUDINESS AND PRECIP EARLY IN THE DAY WILL DICTATE SEVERE
POTENTIAL FOR LATER IN THE DAY. TEMPS ONLY REACH THE LOW TO MID 80S.

UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL BE DRAPED ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABORD ON
MONDAY...LEADING TO THE CHANCE OF MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS...BUT
NOT AS WIDESPREAD OR HEAVY AS LATE SUNDAY. THE TROUGH BECOMES
POSITIVELY TILTED TUESDAY AND FINALLY PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST AS SFC
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. HIGHS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY MAINLY IN THE MID 80S...LOWS IN THE MID 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MID/UPR LEVEL TROUGH MOVES OFF THE MID ATLC COAST TUE NIGHT...THEN
TRANSITIONS TO A WEAK CUTOFF LOW OVER THE ATLC THU-FRI WITHIN THE
BROADENING UPR RIDGE. DRIER WX WITH SEASONABLE TEMPS TO PREVAIL ON
WED WITH THE DNVA/DEEP LAYER RIDGING. HIGHS WED GENERALLY IN THE
MID/UPR 80S.

THU-SAT...EXTENDED MODELS SHOW SIMILAR SYNOPTIC SETUP ALONG THE ERN
SEABOARD AS WITH TODAY-SUN. BOTTOM PORTION OF 500-300 MB TROUGH
MOVES SLOWLY INTO THE ERN CONUS THU-SAT...ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE
BERMUDA HIGH WHERE A SUBTROPICAL FEED AT LOW LEVELS (S-SE FLOW) IS
MAINTAINED INTO THE MID ATLC REGION. THE PRESENCE OF THE SLOW MOVING
UPPER TROUGH AND ASSCD SFC BNDRY...ALONG WITH THE MOIST SOUTHERLY
LLVL FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WILL PROVIDE A RATHER PROLONGED
(WELCOME) PERIOD OF AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS FROM LATE
THU INTO AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEKEND. THUS AT THIS POINT HAVE
CONTINUED TO LEAN TOWARD HPC GUIDANCE IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION
PROBABILITIES...GENERALLY 30-40% FROM LATE THU THROUGH SAT...OR
ABOUT DOUBLE THE CLIMATOLOGICAL POP FOR A 12 HR PERIOD THIS TIME OF
YEAR. FCST TEMPS AGAIN CLOSE TO CLIMO...THOUGH DIP A LITTLE LOWER BY
FRI AND SAT (GENERALLY MID 80S) GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED CLOUD COVER
AND INCREASED RAIN CHANCE AHEAD/ALONG THE LLVL FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 17Z...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF
CENTRAL AND PORTIONS OF EASTERN VA AS WELL AS THE MD ERN SHORE.
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTN. STILL SOME QUESTION WHETHER
THE ACTIVITY WILL REACH ECG AND THE BEST CHANCES CURRENTLY ARE AT
RIC AND PHF.

MAINLY VFR IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT BUT MVFR CONDS ARE POSSIBLE DUE
TO WET GROUND AT SBY...RIC AND FOR SMOKE OR FOG AT PHF.

ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED SUNDAY BUT IT APPEARS THAT
THIS WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE AFTN SO WILL LEAVE THIS FOR LATER
ISSUANCES TO INCLUDE.

OUTLOOK...THE CHANCE FOR TSTMS CONTINUES INTO MONDAY WITH MAINLY DRY
AND VFR CONDITIONS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SE/S WINDS INCREASED EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO NEAR SCA OVER THE
BAY AND SCA WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH THE LATE EVENING. MODELS
HAVE WINDS DIMINISHING AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AND ENDED
THE HEADLINE AT 06Z.

FOR THE LATE SUNDAY TIME FRAME...MODELS DO NOT SUPPORT SCA OVER THE
BAY BUT WILL STILL NEED TO MONITOR. THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE FOR 5
FT SEAS IN THE COASTAL WATERS DUE TO A 1 DAY PERIOD OF SE FETCH BUT
KEPT SEAS AT 4 FT FOR NOW.

USED A BLEND OF SREF AND OTHER MODELS FOR MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD. DID NOT BUY OFF ON THE NAM IDEA OF A COASTAL LOW SUNDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING. WINDS AND SEAS STAY BELOW SCA
CRITERIA DURING THE REST OF THE UPCOMING WEEK (BEYOND MONDAY).
