AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
409 PM EST SAT DEC 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFIES AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST OFF THE NEW ENGLAND
COAST TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST SUNDAY AND
SLOWLY DRIFTS ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC SUNDAY NIGHT...BEFORE DRIFTING
OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST MONDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE NORTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT AND DROPS INTO THE REGION TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES A 997MB LOW ABOUT 60NM SE OF
KWAL WITH ~8MB/3HR PRESSURE FALLS NE OF THE LOW CENTER. THE EARLIER
LOW OVER SW PA HAS NOW DISSIPATED WITH THE STRENGTHENING OF THE
COASTAL LOW. HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS WELL TO THE WEST WITH A ~1030MB
HIGH OVER TX AND OK. THE MAIN FRONTAL BAND/MOIST CONVEYOR PER WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY IS NOW OFF THE COAST...WITH THE DRY CONVEYOR DRIVING
IN FROM THE WEST AS A RESULT OF THE INTENSIFYING CYCLONE OFF THE
COAST. THIS HAS PRODUCED RAPID DRYING AND QUICK CLEARING FROM W-E
THIS AFTERNOON.

THE SYSTEM OFF THE COAST WILL CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY DEEPEN THIS
EVENING WITH NUMERICAL MODELS INDICATING A ~985MB LOW AROUND 100NM
SE OF NANTUCKET BY 00Z...AND CONTINUING TO FALL TO ~970MB NEAR NOVA
SCOTIA BY 12Z. STRONG DEEP LAYER NW FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
CLEARING INTO THE EARLY EVENING...ALTHOUGH CLOUDS COULD LINGER OVER
THE EASTERN SHORE. A VORT MAX ASSOCIATED WITH THE LONGWAVE TROUGH
AXIS (PRESENTLY OVER THE OHIO VALLEY) WILL LIFT ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT AND THIS COULD BRING PASSING MID CLOUDS FROM W-E THROUGH
THE LATE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. CAA SHOULD PUSH
TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 20S W...TO LOW/MID 30S E BY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
DEEP LAYER NW FLOW WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE STEADILY
BUILDS IN FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE
MID-LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD RESULT IN A MOSTLY SUNNY SKY...ALTHOUGH
CUMULUS COULD PRODUCE A PERIOD OF PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS
OVER THE EASTERN SHORE DURING THE AFTERNOON. SUBSIDENCE AND IDEAL
MIXING WILL PRODUCE A NW WIND OF 15-25 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL...BUT WITHING -1 ST DEV AND
RANGE FROM AROUND 40 N...THE THE MID 40S SE.

THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS OVER THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND DRIFTS OFF
THE SOUTHEAST COAST MONDAY. A CLEAR SKY AND A DIMINISHING WIND
SHOULD RESULT IN DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WITH LOWS
DROPPING INTO THE LOW/MID 20S. HIGH CLOUDS SHOULD INCREASE ON MONDAY
AS ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS WITH MOISTURE ALOFT STREAMING IN FROM THE
WEST...BUT MUCH OF THE DAY SHOULD REMAIN PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY.
850MB TEMPERATURES MODERATE TO +2-4C...BUT LIMITED MIXING WILL
INHIBIT MAXIMA FROM REACHING THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. HIGH SHOULD RANGE
FROM THE MID 40S N...TO THE LOW 50S SE.

A COLD FRONT SAGS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY NIGHT WHILE A WEAK
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE GULF COAST. THIS FRONT DROPS
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC TUESDAY WITH THE LOW REMAINING SUPPRESSED OVER
THE SOUTHEAST. CONFIDENCE WITH REGARD TO MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS
LOW...SO WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS (30% N TO 40% S). MUCH OF
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY SHOULD BE MOSTLY CLOUDY TO OVERCAST. LOWS
TUESDAY MORNING SHOULD BE MUCH MILDER THAN MONDAY MORNING WITH
MINIMA RANGING FROM THE LOW TO MID 30S. THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW REMAINS
WESTERLY TUESDAY AND 1000-850MB THICKNESS VALUES SHOULD LITTLE
CHANGE FROM MONDAY...SO HIGHS SHOULD BE SIMILAR.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GOING CLSR TO THE ECMWF MODEL FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. NRN AND SRN
JET STREAMS REMAIN SPLIT THRU THE PERIOD...WITH MAINLY BELOW NORMAL
MAX TEMPS EXPECTED ACRS THE AREA. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH CHC FOR RAIN
OR CHC FOR RAIN AND SNOW (NRN THIRD) WILL SHIFT S OF THE REGION TUE
NGT. HI PRES WILL BLD OVR THE AREA FOR WED INTO EARLY THU. SRN
STREAM LO PRES SYSTEM THEN TRACKS FM THE GULF OF MEXICO ENE AND OFF
THE SE CST THU INTO EARLY FRI MORNG. AT THIS TIME...THAT LO WILL
BRING AT LEAST A SLGT CHC FOR RAIN OVR EXTRM SRN/SE VA AND NE NC.
HI PRES WILL BLD BACK INTO AND OVR THE REGION FOR LATER FRI MORNG
THRU SAT. MIN TEMPS WILL MAINLY RANGE FM THE MID 20S TO MID 30S
WED...THU AND FRI MORNGS...AND RANGING THRU THE 20S SAT MORNG. MAX
TEMPS WILL RANGE FM THE LWR 40S TO THE LWR 50S WED...ONLY IN THE UPR
30S TO MID 40S THU AND FRI...AND RANGING THRU THE 40S SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
IFR CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AS STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE/PRECIP
MOVE NE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. CLEARING IS TAKING PLACE WEST
OF RICHMOND AND WILL MOVE E THROUGH THE AFTN/EVENING.

AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN THE EXITING LOW AND HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST...EXPECT NW WINDS TO AROUND 25
KT ON SUNDAY.

THE HIGH CENTERS JUST SOUTH OF THE FA...LEADING TO VFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH TUE. THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE AREA TOWARD
MID WEEK.

.MARINE...
LO PRES WILL INTENSIFY TNGT INTO SUN...AS IT LIFTS NE OFF THE NEW
