AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
400 AM EST MON JAN 2 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL PLUNGE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION
TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO THE COLDEST
TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON ACROSS THE AREA. THE COLD TEMPERATURES
WILL BE SHORT LIVED HOWEVER...WITH GRADUALLY WARMING TEMPERATURES
OVER THE AREA FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS SHOWS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEASTERN
QUEBEC THIS MORNING...WITH REGIONAL OBS REFLECTING COOLER/DRIER
AIR FILTERING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NW WITH SFC TROUGH/COLD
FRONT NOW ORIENTED OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC/SOUTHEAST COAST.
ALOFT...LONGWAVE PATTERN FEATURES RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN CONUS
AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG SOUTHEAST FROM CENTRAL
CANADA INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.

STRONG CAA AND CRASHING THICKNESS VALUES ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS
THROUGH TODAY WILL BE BUFFERED A BIT BY CONTINUING DOWNSLOPE
FLOW OVER THE REGION...MAKING FOR VERY SLOWLY RISING TEMPS TODAY.
AFTER A CLEAR MORNING...EXPECTING SOME SCATTERED MID LEVEL CLOUDS
FOR THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING, AS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES DROPS SE FROM THE GREAT LAKES RIDING THE FLOW OF THE
DIGGING EAST COAST TROUGH. LOOK FOR MAXIMA TO RISE ONLY INTO THE
LOWER TO MID 40S...THOUGH BRISK W FLOW WILL MAKE FOR MID TO LATE
AFTN WIND CHILL VALUES INTO THE LOW TO MID 30S.

BRISK CAA/NW FLOW TONIGHT WITH SECONDARY CAA SURGE EXPECTED ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. WELL MIXED
ATM/BREEZY CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVENT TEMPS FROM BOTTOMING OUT AS
MET GUIDANCE DEPICTS...SO HV SIDED TOWARDS WARMER ENVELOPE OF MAV
GUIDANCE. STILL A VERY CHILLY NIGHT ACROSS THE AREA WITH EARLY
MORNING LOWS TUESDAY MORNING GENERALLY INTO THE LOW TO MID 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS CROSSES THE REGION ON TUESDAY AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL BRING CONTINUED BRISK NW FLOW ON THE ORDER OF 20-25 MPH ON
TUESDAY...RESULTING IN WIND CHILL VALUES TUESDAY REMAINING IN THE
20S THROUGH THE DAY. WINDS DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT AS PRESSURE
GRADIENT SLACKENS...SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE COLDEST NIGHT OVER
THE LOCAL AREA SINCE FEBRUARY 2011 TUE NIGHT. LIGHT WINDS AND
SCANT HIGH CLOUDS WILL DO LITTLE TO KEEP EARLY MORNING TEMPS
WEDNESDAY MORN FROM FALLING INTO THE TEENS FOR MOST SPOTS
INLAND...LWR 20S ALONG THE COAST.

NEXT MID-LEVEL S/W TROUGH EMBEDDED IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT ARRIVES
WED AFTN/EVE...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE SE CONUS.
ONCE AGAIN ONLY EXPECTING AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS WED AFTN DUE TO
THE LACK OF MOISTURE. HIGHS WEDNESDAY A BIT TRICKY...WITH A ONE TO
TWO CATEGORY DIFFERENCE IN MOS GUIDANCE VALUES BETWEEN THE
RELATIVELY WARM MAV AND THE COOLER MET NUMBERS. SHOULD NOTE THAT
WHILE SFC RIDGE REMAINS WELL TO THE S OF THE LOCAL AREA...FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW RATHER SHALLOW LOW MIXING HEIGHTS (~925MB) DUE TO
ONGOING WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT AND LOW EARLY WINTER SUN ANGLE.
THIS WOULD SEEM TO PORTEND TO TEMPERATURES BEING A BIT CLOSER TO
THE COOLER MET NUMBERS. ACCORDINGLY...HAVE LOWERED INHERITED TEMP
FORECAST SLIGHTLY WITH MAXIMA WED INTO THE UPR 30S TO NR 40.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK WILL SEE THE ARCTIC AIR MASS PULLING
AWAY FROM THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THE NORTHERN STREAM WILL CONTINUE
TO BE ACTIVE WITH FAST MOVING SHORT WAVES. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WILL DEVELOP BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

FOLLOWED CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE AS ENSEMBLE MEANS WERE SUPERIOR TO
INDIVIDUAL RUNS OF THE OPERATIONS MODELS. HPC HAS A COLD FRONT
MOVING THROUGH AND THEN STALLING EARLY SUNDAY AND MODELS HINT AT
SOME OVERRUNNING PCPN MOVING IN FROM THE SW SUNDAY. KEPT POPS AT 20
PERCENT FOR NOW.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WARM FROM 45 TO 50 ON THURSDAY TO AROUND 60 BY
SATURDAY THEN BACK OFF TO THE 50S SUNDAY. LOWS WARM FROM AROUND 30
THURSDAY MORNING TO THE 40S BY SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WINDS OVERNIGHT/EARLY THIS AM HAVE SHIFTED TO THE W OR WNW. SHOULD
SEE GUSTINESS AND CLOUDS DIMINISH AFTER 08Z...BUT WINDS WILL
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN AROUND 14/15Z AND REMAIN GUSTY THROUGHOUT THE
DAY. GENLY LOOKING AT WNW FLOW WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 20 KT AT
KORF/KECG...20-25 KT KRIC/KPHF...AND 25 KT+ AT KSBY. SKIES WILL
START OFF MAINLY CLEAR WITH SOME SCT-BKN CLOUDS AROUND 5-6K FT BY
MID AFTN INTO THE EVENING.

SKIES MAY AVG OUT MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR PART OF THE DAY TUE...BUT DRY
AIRMASS WILL KEEP ALL CIGS ABOVE 3 K FT. NW WINDS WILL BE RATHER
STRONG AND GUSTY ON TUESDAY....REACHING 20 TO 30 KNOTS....POSSIBLY
HIGHER AT SBY. LESS WIND/MAINLY CLEAR SKIES TUE NIGHT-WED...ANOTHER
TROUGH LOOKS TO BRING SOMEWHAT MORE BREEZY CONDITIONS ON THU.

&&

.MARINE...
SCA HEADLINES CONTINUE W/ THIS CYCLE...AND HAVE RAISED GALE WARNINGS
FOR TUE ON THE COASTAL WATERS.

CURRENTLY WITH CAA IN PROGRESS...WINDS ARE 20-25 KT OVER MOST OF THE
MARINE AREA AND THIS SHOULD PERSIST TODAY. THERE MAY BE A BIT OF A
LULL THIS AFTN...AND CONDITIONS MAY DROP DOWN JUST BELOW CRITERIA
FOR ABOUT 3-5 HRS (ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS)..BUT FOR
SIMPLICITY'S SAKE HAVE THE SCA HEADLINES CONTINUING.

ARCTIC AIR ARRIVES LATER TONIGHT INTO TUE (850 MB TEMPS DROPPING TO
-12 TO -16C)...WITH DEEP MIXING OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM WATERS (SFC
TEMPS +8 TO +12 C). THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED FARTHER TO THE SOUTH W/
THE DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW ON TUE (AND HIGHEST WINDS MIGHT OCCUR TO
OUR SOUTH ACRS THE CAROLINAS INTO FLORIDA)...BUT DUE TO THE STRONG
MIXING AND ABOUT 35 KT OF WIND ANTICIPATED IN THE MIXED
LAYER...CONFIDENCE FOR MARGINAL GALES IS HIGH ENOUGH TO GO W/ A GALE
WARNING FOR THE COASTAL WATERS ON TUE. OPTED TO KEEP STRONG SCA FOR
THE BAY AND SOUND AS THESE AREAS WILL BE FARTHER AWAY FROM THE SFC
LOW AS IT DEEPENS WELL OFF THE MID ATLC COAST. OFFSHORE NW WIND
DIRECTION WILL KEEP SEAS FROM BUILDING TOO HIGH...MAINLY TO 5-7 FT.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE TUE NIGHT/WED AS GRADIENT WEAKENS AND SFC HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH OF THE AREA. ANOTHER FRONT/SFC TROUGH WILL
BRING AN INCREASE IN WINDS ONCE AGAIN THU...POSSIBLY TO SCA LEVELS.

&&

.CLIMATE...
VERY WARM DECEMBER ENDS A VERY WARM 2011:

RICHMOND: DEC 2011 FINISHES WITH AN AVG TEMPERATURE OF 46.3 F,
RANKING AS THE 8TH WARMEST ON RECORD. COMPARE THIS TO DEC 2010
