AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
251 PM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...MAINTAINING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. AN ACTIVE
NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN ALOFT ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND MID
ATLANTIC WILL BRING THE POSSIBILITY OF LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE AREA EARLY NEXT
WEEK...BRINGING A BREAK FROM THE HEAT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS AFTN WILL BE HOT TEMPERATURES AND
COINCIDING HEAT INDEX VALUES. W-NW SURFACE WINDS WILL BE ABLE TO
PUSH HOT SURFACE TEMPS ALL THE WAY TO THE SHORE...WITH HIGHS
AROUND 100 DEGREES THROUGHOUT THE FA THIS AFTN AND SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPS (MID-UPPER 90S) ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. KNOWING
THAT WARMER AIR WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THE COAST TODAY...DEWPOINTS
WERE DETERMINED USING A BLEND OF MIXED LAYER DEWPOINTS AND MODEL
DATA. THIS WILL BUMP HEAT INDEX VALUES INTO THE 104-108 DEGREE
RANGE DURING PEAK HEATING THIS AFTN...AND THUS A HEAT ADVISORY IS
IN EFFECT ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. RECORD
TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON. PLEASE REFERENCE
CLIMATE SECTION BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

PLENTY OF INSTABILITY IS PRESENT THIS AFTN...DUE TO STRONG
DAYTIME HEATING AND STEEPENING LAPSE RATES IN THE LOW LEVELS. THE
COMBINATION OF THE HEAT/MODERATE TO STRNG INSTABILITY...LEE-SIDE
TROF AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY IN NW FLO ALOFT...WILL HELP TO FOCUS
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE FA LATE THIS AFTN INTO THIS
EVENING. PWATS AT 05/0000Z WERE 100-150 PERCENT OF NORMAL
(1.20-1.80 INCHES) AND ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TOWARD 2.00 INCHES
DURING PEAK HEATING. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE PULSE-
TYPE CONVECTION...DUE TO A WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT AND WILL
ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND BRIEF
HEAVY RAINFALL. SPC HAS NOW PUT OUR EXTRM NW AND W CNTIES IN A
SLGT RISK FOR SVR TSTMS FOR THIS AFTN AND EVENG...SO ANY TSTMS
THAT DO DEVELOP OR MOVE INTO THESE AREAS COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING
WNDS AND/OR LARGE HAIL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
500 MB HEIGHTS ARE ON THE RISE FRIDAY BUT ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD HELP
TO MODERATE TEMPERATURES A BIT...ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE COAST.
HOWEVER THE EASTERN PIEDMONT AND LOCATIONS WEST OF I-95 SHOULD
SEE LITTLE RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. HEAT INDICES WILL ONCE AGAIN
REACH INTO THE LOW 100S INLAND AND INTO THE MID-UPPER 90S NEAR THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. HEAT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED...HOWEVER
SINCE AREAL COVERAGE OF HEAT INDEX VALUES AOA 105 DEGREES
CHANGES...WILL OPT TO ADDRESS HEAT HEADLINES ON A DAILY BASIS.

GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY AS BEST MOISTURE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS SHIFTS TO THE SOUTH. CANNOT RULE OUT THUNDERSTORMS
ALTOGETHER FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN EXTREME SOUTHEAST VA AND
NORTHEAST NC...ESPECIALLY AS SLIGHTLY COOLER AND MORE MOIST
SEABREEZE BOUNDARIES COLLIDE WITH A HOTTER AND DRIER AIRMASS BACK
TO THE WEST.

SATURDAY WILL BE A REPEAT OF FRIDAY EXCEPT SURFACE WINDS SHIFT
BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST...CARRYING HOT TEMPS ALL THE WAY TO THE
COAST AGAIN. DRY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED ON SATURDAY WHICH IN
TURN WILL OPTIMIZE DAYTIME HEATING AND PUSH INLAND TEMPERATURES
WELL INTO THE LOW 100S...WITH UPPER 90S EXPECTED NEAR THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. HEAT INDICES ARE ANTICIPATED TO REACH 105 TO 109
DEGREES AREAWIDE DURING PEAK HEATING SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
NIGHT...PROVIDING LITTLE RELIEF FROM THE HEAT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WILL GO WITH A COMBINATION OF THE 12Z GFS AND ECMWF FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. THE VRY HOT TEMPS WILL STICK ARND THRU SUN...BEFORE A FRNTL
BNDRY PUSHES DWN THRU THE AREA PROVIDING CHCS FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS
AND CLSR TO NORMAL TEMPS FM SUN EVENG THRU WED. BEST CHCS FOR PCPN
ACRS THE ENTIRE AREA WILL LIKELY OCCUR FM SUN EVENG THRU MON
NGT...THEN SHIFT INTO SRN PORTIONS OF THE REGION FOR TUE THRU WED.
MIN TEMPS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE LWR TO MID 70S SUN AND MON
MORNGS...IN THE UPR 60S TO MID 70S TUE MORNG...AND IN THE UPR 60S TO
LWR 70S WED MORNG. MAX TEMPS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPR 90S SUN...IN
THE UPR 80S TO LWR 90S MON...AND IN THE MID TO UPR 80S TUE AND WED.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. SCATTERED
TSTMS MAY DEVELOP LATER THU AFTN/EVENING AS SURFACE INSTABILITY
CONTINUES TO INCREASE. THERE MAY BE AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF PRECIP
LATE THU NIGHT AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH
THROUGH OHIO.

UPPER LEVEL HIGH MOVES CLOSER TO THE FA CREATING HOT CONDITIONS WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR AFTN TSTM DEVELOPMENT
FRI. BETTER CHANCE FOR TSTMS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS COLD FRONT
DROPS SOUTHWARD INTO/THROUGH REGION.

&&

.MARINE...
BENIGN CONDITIONS ON THE BAY/COASTAL WATERS WILL PERSIST NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS WITH WINDS GENERALLY AOB 15 KT...AND WAVES 1-2 FEET ON THE
BAY...SEAS LESS THAN 3 FEET. COUPLE OF WIND SHIFTS DROP SOUTHWARD
INTO REGION NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO POSE A
PROBLEM FROM A BOATING PERSPECTIVE. NEXT FRONT OF SIGNIFICANCE
WILL DROP SOUTHWARD THROUGH AREA LATE SUNDAY/MONDAY. LATEST GFS
INDICATES THAT WINDS INCREASE TO NEAR 20 KT FROM THE NE BEHIND
THIS FRONT...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON INCREASING ABOVE 15 KT UNTIL
GUIDANCE COMES INTO BETTER AGREEMENT.
