AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
554 AM EDT MON JUN 4 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THIS
AFTERNOON AND SETTLES TO OUR SOUTH THROUGH MIDWEEK. MEANWHILE...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A RATHER POORLY DEFINED SURFACE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH
OR REFORM TO OUR SOUTH AND RESULT IN NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS
OVER THE REGION BY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE LACK OF SURFACE
AND UPPER LEVEL TRIGGERS SHOULD LIMIT CHANCES FOR PCPN OVER THE
AREA. HAVE LINED UP WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES AND KEPT POPS AT 14
PERCENT OR LESS EXCEPT IN THE LOWER MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE WHERE
THERE WILL BE 20 TO 30 PERCENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. CONTINUED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS THIS EVENING
SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN NECK AND VIRGINIA LOWER EASTERN SHORE.
850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL RUN FROM 12-14C AND HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY
WILL REACH THE LOWER 80S OVER MUCH OF THE AREA EXCEPT THE UPPER 70S
ON THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL GENERALLY RUN IN THE 50S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH AND A COLD FRONT WELL TO THE SOUTH WILL
RESULT IN A NORTHEAST TO EASTERLY SURFACE FLOW ACROSS THE AREA.
THIS WILL RESULT IN COLD AIR DAMMING OVER THE PIEDMONT WITH
CONSIDERABLE CLOUD COVER AND A STABILIZING OF THE LOWER LAYERS.
HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW MODEL GUIDANCE AND
EARLIER FORECASTS AS A RESULT. ALSO REMOVED THUNDER FROM THE
FORECAST TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
HAVE SLGT CHC OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA FOR TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOME WEAK BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITY ALONG WITH
LIFT FROM AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE WILL PRODUCE A BETTER CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS ON WEDNESDAY AFTN AND HAVE 30 POPS
AT THAT TIME.
TEMPERATURES AT 850 WILL BE SOMEWHAT COOLER BY TUESDAY MORNING AND
FOR REASONS MENTIONED EARLIER...TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE
RELATIVELY COOL. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RUN IN THE UPPER 60S ON
THE EASTERN SHORE TO THE LOWER 70S OVER INLAND AREAS. TEMPERATURES
WILL LIKELY BE SIMILAR BUT PROBABLY A COUPLE OF DEGREES HIGHER ON
WEDNESDAY. LOWS WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL RUN IN THE 50S.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ECMWF AND GFS MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE COMING INTO BETTER ALIGNMENT AS
PERSISTENT LONGWAVE TROUGHING RESIDES OVER THE NORTHEASTERN U.S.
THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. MOST NOTABLE IS THE AGREEMENT ON
DEVELOPING A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST (JUST
AHEAD OF THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH) ON THURSDAY. AS A
COMPARISON...THE 12Z GFS MODEL RUN YESTERDAY HAD THE LOW PASSING
SOUTH OF THE AKQ CWA ON WEDNESDAY...WHEREAS THE ECMWF HAD ROUGHLY
THE SAME SOLUTION OCCURRING BUT ON FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH THE BEST
SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SHOULD STAY
SOUTH OF THE FA...THURSDAY APPEARS TO BE THE BEST DAY FOR AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION.
NORTH/NORTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS FRIDAY AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH FINALLY
SHIFTS FAR ENOUGH EASTWARD TO RELEASE ITS GRIP ON THE NORTHEAST
CONUS. DEPENDING ON AVAILABLE MOISTURE...SOME CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING THEN BUILD
INTO THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND...RESULTING IN A
GRADUAL DRYING AND WARMING TREND DURING THIS TIME.
&&
.AVIATION /10Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS NEAR SBY HAS AVOIDED THE TERMINAL TO THIS
POINT...AND THE FINAL AREA OF SHOWERS APPEARS TO TRACK ACROSS DE
AND REMAIN NORTH OF THE SITE. A COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE
REGION TODAY AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A GUSTY NW WIND. SUSTAINED
WIND SPEEDS FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH AFTERNOON SHOULD BE 10-15KT
WITH GUSTS AROUND 20KT. THE WIND SHIFTS TO N AND THEN NE BEHIND
THE FRONT TONIGHT. THE LATEST GUIDANCE DOES SUGGEST SOME LOWER
CIGS (MVFR) ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AT SBY WITH NE FLOW.
A PERSISTENT UPPER TROUGH LINGERS OVER THE EASTERN US MUCH OF THIS
WEEK. THIS WILL BRING OCCASIONAL UNSETTLED CONDITIONS...BUT VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREDOMINATE.
&&
.MARINE...
A W WIND AROUND 10-15KT WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH. THE WIND WILL SHIFT TO THE NW THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE COLD FRONT CROSSES THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND THEN
SHIFTS TO NE TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT. WATER TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S
IN THE BAY AND RIVERS AND COOLING TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL ACTUALLY
CREATE DECENT MIXING OVER THE WATER DURING THE AFTERNOON. HENCE SCA
FLAGS WILL BE RAISED BEGINNING IN THE AFTERNOON FOR THE RIVERS AND
N-S OVER THE BAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD BE
GENERALLY LOW END SCA (18-20KT)...BUT A BRIEF STRONGER SURGE IS
POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY EVENING IN THE IMMEDIATE WAKE OF THE
FRONT. AN SCA WILL ALSO BE RAISED FOR THE SOUND BEGINNING THIS
EVENING.
THE WIND IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...BUT A SECONDARY SURGE
IS LIKELY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING HENCE ALL THE SCA WILL RUN THROUGH
14Z TUESDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RIVERS EXCLUDING THE LOWER
JAMES. NE FLOW SHOULD EVENTUALLY PUSH SEAS TO 5FT OR GREATER LATE
TONIGHT AND THROUGH TUESDAY. SCA FLAGS FOR THE OCEAN WILL RUN
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT 5FT SEAS COULD LINGER INTO THE
EVENING. LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH
SEAS REMAINING AROUND 3-4FT.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL ANOMALIES ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 1FT ABOVE NORMAL DURING
HIGH TIDE CYCLES FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING DUE TO
THE COMBINATION OF A FULL MOON AND ONSHORE FLOW. THE LATEST
EXTRATROPICAL GUIDANCE HAS OCEAN CITY INLET EXCEEDING THE MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING STAGE DURING THIS EVENINGS HIGH TIDE. THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE GUIDANCE WILL BE MONITORED FOR THIS MORNINGS HIGH TIDE BEFORE
ISSUING ANY ADVISORIES FOR THE EVENING HIGH TIDE. WATER LEVELS
DURING TUESDAY EVENINGS HIGH TIDE WILL BE AROUND MINOR STAGE FOR
SEVERAL LOCATIONS ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST AND LOWER CHESAPEAKE BAY
DURING HIGH TIDE TUESDAY EVENING BASED ON THE LATEST MDL GUIDANCE.
