AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
1158 AM EDT MON AUG 1 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER TROUGH AND WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK OVER THE
REGION TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON WEDNESDAY.
THURSDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK WILL BE DOMINATED BY
HIGH PRESSURE. A SHORTWAVE COULD IMPACT THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE LARGE UPPER RIDGE THAT COVERS THE MIDDLE THIRD OF THE CONUS WILL
REMAIN WEST OF THE REGION TDA. AS THIS RIDGE AMPLIFIES...AN UPPER
LOW WILL MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD OVER NRN QUEBEC. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL ALSO DIVE SEWD THRU THE NORTHEAST AND
NRN MID-ATLANTIC STATES THIS AFTN AND ERY EVE. THE TROUGH AND
STRENGTHENING JET STREAK ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW SHOULD PROVIDE
ENOUGH LIFT FOR SCT SHOWERS AND STORMS TDA.

THE BEST COVERAGE OF CONVECTION AND THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ACROSS NE MD INCLUDING LOCATIONS NEAR
THE CHSPK BAY. ACROSS THESE LOCATIONS...STRONGER DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
PROFILES /AROUND 30 KT/ ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH AND MODERATE
INSTABILITY /AROUND 2000 J-KG DURING THE PEAK HEATING HRS/
RESULTING FROM HIGHER DEWPOINTS ALONG THE WRN SHORE OF THE BAY/
WILL SUPPORT MORE INTENSE UPDRAFTS TDA. A SIGNIFICANT AMT OF DRY
AIR IN THE MID-LEVELS AND STEEP LLVL LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT AN
ENVIRNMENT FAVORABLE FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS FROM WET MICROBURSTS.

FARTHER INLAND ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA...ALTHOUGH A DRIER
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL LIMIT MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY...DAYTIME
MIXING WILL LEAD TO AN INVERTED-V SETUP IN THE LLVLS. THIS SETUP
WOULD FAVOR EFFICIENT DOWNWARD TRANSPORT OF HIGHER WIND GUSTS IN
TSTMS. THEREFORE...AN ISO DAMAGING WIND THREAT WILL EXIST ACROSS
THESE AREAS.

AS FAR AS TIMING OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY...ISO CONVECTION SHOULD
DEVELOP INITIALLY DURING THE MID-AFTN NEAR THE CHSPK BAY AND NE MD.
STORMS SHOULD INCREASE IN COVERAGE DURING THE LATE AFTN AND ERY
EVE AS THE TROUGH/SFC COLD FRONT MOVES THRU THE REGION. THE
WINDOW FROM ABOUT 3 PM TO 8 PM APPEARS TO BE THE MOST LIKELY TIME
FOR SEVERE STORMS.

FCST HIGH TEMPS ARE IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100F ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA...WHICH IS ABOUT 3-5F WARMER THAN MOST MODEL GUIDANCE.
THESE MAX TEMPS WILL ONCE AGAIN APPROACH OR BREAK DAILY CLIMATE
RECORDS. LOW DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S AND LOW 60S WILL PREVENT HEAT
INDICES FROM REACHING HEAT ADVISORY LVL THRESHOLDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
NAM DEVELOPS A LOCAL MCS OVER THE BAY EVEN AFTER THE INITIAL LEE
TROUGH HAS MOVED A BATCH OF PRECIP DOWN ACROSS THE ERN HALF OF THE
CWA THIS AFTN/EVE. TEMPERED THIS FEATURE TO LOW CHANCE POPS DURING
THE LATE EVE HRS...THEN ALL THIS ACTIVITY DISSIPATES AND MOVES
TOWARD THE VA TIDEWATER OVERNIGHT. LOWS WILL BE COMPARABLE TO THE
PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...W/ TEMPS ONLY DROPPING DOWN THRU THE 80S AND
JUST INTO THE 70S FOR THE METRO AREAS. THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA
SHOULD DROP DOWN INTO THE L70S BY THE PREDAWN HRS.

TUESDAY THE AREA WILL DRY OUT /A ONE-DAY BREAK/ BEFORE THE NEXT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MAKES A QUICK ENTRANCE LATE TUE EVE. TEMPS WON/T BE
AS HIGH AS MONDAY AND DEWPOINTS WILL BE NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID. TEMPS
WILL CLIMB INTO THE L-M90S BY MID AFTN...BUT DRIER DEWPOINTS MAY
EVEN KNOCK DOWN THE HEAT INDICES A DEGREE OR TWO FROM THERE. PLENTY
OF SUN THOUGH...W/ ONLY A FEW PASSING CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF THE DAYTIME
HRS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A 999 MB SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE LOWER PENISULA OF
MICHIGAN EARLY TUE NIGHT IS PROGGED TO DROP SOUTHEAST TUE NIGHT AND
PASS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON WED. THE BEST UPPER LEVEL
DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE PROGGED TO GO WELL NORTH OF THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION ON WED. MOISTURE AND CLOUDS WILL ADVECT INTO THE
REGION AHEAD OF THE LOW...WITH NAM PRECIP WATER VALUES EXPECTED
CLOSE TO 2 INCHES EARLY WED...WHICH DIFFERS FROM MORE CONSERVATIVE
SREF RUN OF 03Z HAVING VALUES ONLY IN 1.5 INCH RANGE. MADE SOME
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE POPS FOR TUE NGT AND WED. THE LOW WILL BRING A
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION ON WED AND BY WED AFTERNOON N TO NW
WINDS WILL USHER IN MUCH DRIER AIR AND CLEARING SKIES. 21Z SREF

REST OF THE FORECAST WAS PRETTY MUCH LEFT ALONE FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AN UPPER DISTURBANCE AND SFC COLD FRONT WILL DIVE SEWD TOWARD THE
MID-ATLANTIC LATER TDA. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AS THESE
FEATURES MOVE THRU. THE BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS /SCT/ WILL BE
ACROSS NE MD...IMPACTING BWI/MTN AND POSSIBLY DCA TERMINALS MAINLY
BETWEEN 20Z-00Z. IAD/MRB HAVE A SLIGHTLY LOWER CHANCE OF BEING
IMPACTED BY STORMS...BUT STILL ENOUGH TO INCLUDE A CB GROUP DURING
THE SAME TIME PERIOD. HAVE NOT INCLUDED A CB GROUP FOR CHO ATTM
DUE TO LOW COVERAGE OF STORM THAT ARE EXPECTED OVER CENTRAL VA.
THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SUBVFR VSBYS AND STRONG WINDS IF A DIRECT IMPACT
OCCURS.

SFC WINDS WILL PEAK IN THE 10-15KT RANGE MID AFTN FROM THE WNW.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATE TONIGHT AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES OFF
THE MID ATLC COAST...W/ A LIGHT NWLY BREEZE INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HRS. TUE WILL BE CLEAR AND DRY - AGAIN W/ LIGHT WINDS.

EXTENDED...CLOUDS INCREASE TUE NIGHT AHEAD OF NEXT LOW PRES
SYSTEM. RAIN/TSTM CHANCES INCREASE AS WELL...WITH MVFR CIGS
POSSIBLE IN PRECIP LATE TUE NIGHT AND EARLY WED FOR ALL TERMINALS.
RAPID CLEARING EXPECTED LATER ON WED AFTN AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS
THROUGH THE REGION. HIGH PRES BUILDS IN WED NIGHT AND
THUR...ALTHO SOME SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NRN TERMINALS
FROM MRB...DCA...BWI...ON THUR AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
VARIABLE WINDS AROUND 5-10 KT EXPECTED TDA. LOCATIONS CLOSER TO
LAND MAY EXPERIENCE 15 KT GUSTS THIS AFTN.

SCA MIGHT BE NEEDED ON WED AHEAD AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THAT
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE DAY WED.

&&

.CLIMATE...
MAX TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL APPROACH OR BREAK DAILY RECORD MAX
TEMPS FOR AUG 1...
