AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
936 PM EDT MON SEP 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

A WEAK FRONT WILL REMAIN IN THE MID ATLANTIC REGION OVERNIGHT AND TUESDAY.
DEEP MOISTURE...FROM THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM LEE...WILL
INTERACT WITH THE STALLED BOUNDARY CAUSING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
RAIN THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...

MID AFTN SFC ANLYS SHOWED REMNANT OF LEE OVR SRN AL W/ A
STATIONARY FNTL BNDRY XTDG FM THE BLUE RDG INTO VT. THIS IS
PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR A WIDESPREAD MOISTURE PLUME FM THE GULF
STATES INTO THE NE. 00Z IAD SNDG SHOWED A VERY TIGHT TEMP/DWPT
CURVE ALL THE WAY TO 300 MB W/ PWAT OF 2.2". ALL OF THIS WL LEAD
TO A VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCING ENVIRONMENT.

THERE ARE SVRL PROBLEMS TO PONDER IN THE COMING DAYS - 1) ALTHO
MAINSTEM RVRS ARE CURRENTLY LOW THE CURRENT FCST IS FOR 7-10" OF
RAIN IN THE COMING DAYS SO LARGE RISES ARE XPCTD. 2) ERN PART OF
THE AREA IS STILL QUITE WATERLOGGED FM THE IMPACTS OF IRENE LAST
WK SO FLASH FLDG COULD OCCUR QUICKLY. 3) PTNL SPIN IN THE
ATMOSPHERE; RNK HAS ISSUED SVRL TOR WRNGS ACROSS SRN VA. WE'LL
KEEP AN EYE ON THIS BUT IT MAY NOT BE UNTIL THE CENTER OF THE LOW
DRAWS CLOSER TO THE AREA TMRW OR WED WHEN THE CHCS OF TOR WL BE
BETTER. 4) LEE REMNANTS WON'T BE LVG THE AREA AFTR MIDWEEK IN PART
DUE TO THE MVMNT OF KATIA OFF THE NC CST...WHICH MAY ACTUALLY
CAUSE REMNANT LOW TO RETROGRADE AND KEEP MID ALTC RAINY (!) THRU
THE END OF THE WORKWEEK. MY MEMORY BANK CAN'T RECALL A SITUATION
LK THIS...IT COULD BE A LONG WK AHD FOR MANY. IF ONLY WE COULD GET
SOME OF THIS RAIN TO TX TO QUELL THE WILDFIRES..

ON AVERAGE...RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES EXPECTED ACROSS
THE METRO AREAS THROUGH TUESDAY. WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...2 TO 4
INCHES ARE LIKELY. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE...DUE TO
TRAINING STORMS AND/OR OROGRAPHIC FORCING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

CWA GENERALLY REMAINS ON THE COOL SIDE OF AN OLD STALLED OUT FRONTAL
BOUNDARY INTO WEDNESDAY. COPIOUS MOISTURE WILL INTERACT WITH THE
BOUNDARY...COURTESY OF THE REMNANTS OF LEE. RESULT WILL BE CLOUDY
SKIES AND PERIODS OF RAIN. HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING WILL BE A
THREAT. WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON IN CASE THE
STALLED OUT BOUNDARY TILTS JUST A LITTLE TO THE NORTHWEST AND BREAKS
IN THE CLOUDS OCCUR. IF THIS HAPPENS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF
THE CWA...THERE MAY BE A RISK FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN HIGHER
INSTABILITY. THERE WOULD ALSO BE SOME SHEAR TO CONTEND WITH.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

SURFACE BOUNDARY REMAINS STALLED OUT TO THE SOUTHEAST NEAR THE COAST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. MEANWHILE...A LARGE UPPER LOW WILL SIT
OVER THE OHIO VALLEY...EJECTING SHORTWAVES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC.
GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT LOOKS AS IF IT WILL KEEP KATIA AWAY. BUT BAD
NEWS IS THAT SHOWERS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK AND HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT WILL ALSO CONTINUE.

UPPER LOW DOESNT LOOK TO MOVE MUCH OVER THE WEEKEND EITHER. IT MAY
RETROGRADE A LITTLE AND/OR OPEN UP...BUT RESULT STILL LOOKS TO BE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE CWA ON THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW AT ALL AREA AIRPORTS. THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM LEE
AND THE FRONT...WHICH WILL STALL TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION
TONIGHT...WILL ASSIST IN FUNNELING LARGE AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE
ACROSS THE CWA. THIS WILL CAUSE WIDESPREAD AREAS OF RAIN AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. IFR CONDS AT
TIMES THRU THE NEXT SVRL DAYS.

LOW CIGS/VSBYS MAY LINGER INTO THURSDAY BEFORE IMPROVEMENT OCCURS
FRIDAY/SATURDAY. EVEN WITH IMPROVEMENT IN PREVAILING CONDITIONS A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL REMAIN INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE WATERS OVERNIGHT.
SOUTHERLY WINDS 10 TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS 20/25 KT.

WIDESPREAD RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND
TUESDAY.

STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL RESIDE NEAR THE LOWER CHESAPEAKE BAY
REGION THROUGH MID WEEK BEFORE PUSHING FURTHER OFF THE COAST AT THE
END OF THE WEEK. AN EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND WILL PERSIST
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. WILL HAVE TO WATCH SLIGHTLY STRONGER
SOUTHEAST WIND WEDNESDAY FOR POSSIBLE SCA CONDITIONS.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT VSBY RESTRICTIONS IN PERIODS OF RAIN AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

RFC HAS PROVIDED US W/ FCST RVR STAGES FOR THE NEXT SVRL DAYS. IT
IS..OF COURSE...DIFFICULT TO FCST RVR STAGES DAYS IN ADVNC WHEN
ONLY THE 1ST DROPS HV BEGUN TO FALL. BUT USING A FCST OF 5-8.5"

RAIN OVERNIGHT.

ON AVERAGE...RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES EXPECTED ACROSS THE

RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL/FLOODING WILL CONTINUE INTO
