AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
430 PM EDT FRI JUL 6 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH INTO NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT THEN
DISSIPATES. A DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT THEN DROPS SOUTH INTO
THE MID ATLANTIC STATES SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY...STALLING
OVER NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
STILL HOT THIS AFTN ACRS THE AREA...BUT NOT AS BAD AS YESTERDAY
AND CERTAINLY NOT AS HOT AS IT IS GOING TO BE SAT AND LIKELY SUN.
NNE ONSHR FLO OVR JUST ABT ALL THE REGION THIS AFTN PRODUCED LWR
DEWPTS AND HI TEMPS RANGING THRU THE 90S. HEAT INDICES WERE
RANGING FM ARND 96 TO NEAR 105...SO WILL MAINTAIN HEAT ADVSY UNTIL
8 PM. OTHRWISE...WEAK FRNT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH S INTO NC TNGT
INTO SAT MORNG...THEN DISSIPATE. AN ISLTD SHOWER OR STORM STILL
POSSIBLE OVR EXTRM SRN VA AND NE NC THRU ERLY THIS EVENG WHERE
HIER DWPT AIR STILL RESIDES AS WELL AS VRY WEAK CONVERGENCE. AFTR
SUNSET...CLR OR MSTLY CLR AND MUGGY TNGT WITH LOWS IN THE LWR TO
MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
VERY HOT AND POSSIBLY RECORD BREAKING HEAT EXPECTED FOR SAT AND
SUN...AS HI PRES ALOFT BLDS OVR THE AREA FOR SAT...THEN SLIDES
JUST TO THE S FOR SUN. UNDR A SNY OR MSTLY SNY SKY...AND HELPED
ALNG BY A WSW SFC WND...TEMPS WILL SOAR INTO THE UPR 90S TO LWR
100S ACRS JUST ABT THE ENTIRE REGION. WITH DWPTS EXPECTED TO FALL
INTO THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S IN THE AFTN...HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY
BE NEAR 110 OVR MUCH OF THE AREA. AS A RESULT...HAVE ALREADY
ISSUED AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE CWA FM SAT AFTN INTO
SAT EVENG. BASED ON THE NEWER MDL DATA TNGT...THE MIDNGT SHIFT
WILL EITHER ISSUE AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING OR A HEAT ADVISORY FOR
THE FCST AREA.

SAT NGT WILL BE DRY BUT VRY WRM WITH LOWS 75 TO 80. SUN THRU
MON...A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY SAG S INTO AND DWN THRU THE
REGION...AS A NRN STREAM TROF DIGS DOWN INTO THE GRT LKS. THIS
FRNTL BNDRY WILL NOT ONLY BRING COOLER TEMPS INTO THE AREA FOR
MON...BUT WILL ALSO BE THE FOCUS FOR GOOD CHCS FOR PCPN OVR THE
ENTIRE CWA...ESPLY STARTING SUN AFTN AND CONTINUING THRU AT LEAST
MON. PRIOR TO THE FRNT AND ASSOC CLDS/PCPN MOVNG INTO THE AREA
DURING SUN...THE VRY HOT TEMPS WILL CONTINUE. STILL GOING WITH MAX
TEMPS RANGING FM THE UPR 90S N TO THE LWR 100S S. ALSO...AN EXCESSIVE
HEAT WARNING OR HEAT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AGAIN. COOLER
TEMPS AND GOOD CHCS FOR PCPN WILL BE THE RULE ON MON OVR THE
ENTIRE AREA. MAX TEMPS ON MON WILL RANGE FM THE MID 80S TO LWR
90S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SIGNIFICANT RELIEF FROM THE HEAT ARRIVES NEXT WEEK...AND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOOK TO BE WELL ABOVE CLIMO AS WELL/AT LEAST
FOR THE MON NIGHT THROUGH WED PERIOD. LATEST SUITE OF MODELS
CONTINUE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN...SHIFTING
TO A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACRS THE ERN CONUS AS
RIDGING BECOMES CONFINED TO WESTERN US. FCST WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR
THE HPC/ECMWF SOLUTION FOR THE PERIOD (WHICH INITIALLY IS SIMILAR TO
THE GFS). WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNING NE FOR ALL AREAS MON NIGHT
INTO TUE...IN TANDEM WITH RRQ FORCING FROM UPPER JET AND SOME DEGREE
OF MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE ENERGY HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO LIKELY/60%
DURING THIS TIMEFRAME...GRADUALLY DROPPING POPS TO CHC OVER NORTHERN
1/2 ON TUE. UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...TEMPERATURES ON TUE WILL BE
BELOW AVG FOR HIGHS...IN THE LWR-MID 80S CWA-WIDE.

MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE SOMEWHAT THEREAFTER...LATEST ECMWF/GLOBAL
GEM CONTINUES TO DEPICT GRADUAL DRYING FROM THE NORTH...WHILE THE
GFS KEEPS MORE MOISTURE IN PLACE AND LIFTS THE BOUNDARY BACK NORTH
WED-THU. HAVE GONE W/ 30-40% POPS WED AND 20-30% POPS THU-FRI. TEMPS
GENLY WILL BE IN THE LWR-MID 80S WED-THU...SLOWLY WARMING TO THE
UPPER 80S OVER THE INTERIOR BY FRI AS POPS DECREASE. LOWS PRIMARILY
65-70.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. A VERY
ISOLATED SHOWER OR TSTM IS POSSIBLE THROUGH 23Z FRI. CENTER OF UPPER
LEVEL HIGH MOVES CLOSER TO THE FA CREATING HOT CONDITIONS WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES SAT AFTN.

EXPECT SIMILAR CONDITIONS INTO SUN BEFORE A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE
REGION SUN NIGHT/MON MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
ONCE AGAIN...LIGHT FLOW/WEAK SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT AND SUB-SCA
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUNDAY (OUTSIDE OF ANY TSTMS). FLOW
WILL BE LIGHT ENOUGH THAT SMALL SCALE INFLUENCES SHOULD DOMINATE
BOTH SAT AND SUNDAY (I.E. SEABREEZE AND/OR LEE TROUGH). THERE DOES
LOOK TO BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SOUTHERLY FLOW SAT NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY
WHEN WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE STRONGER/TO AROUND 15 KT (ESPECIALLY
IN THE BAY). IN GENERAL...SEAS AVG 2-3 FT...WAVES IN THE BAY 1-2
FT...AND 1 FOOT OR LESS FOR THE RIVERS AND CURRITUCK SOUND. A MORE
ORGANIZED SFC COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY PUSH THROUGH THE REGION
MON-MON NIGHT...AND WILL STALL SOMEWHERE NEAR THE VA/NC BORDER OR
JUST TO THE SOUTH TUE-THU. IF THE FRONT PUSHES WELL SOUTH...THERE
COULD BE A SURGE STRONG ENOUGH TO LEAD TO SCA CONDITIONS...BUT IF
IT STALLS A BIT FATHER NORTH...WINDS WILL TEND TO BE LIGHT ACRS
SOUTHERN VA AND NC WATERS. DUE TO CONTINUED MODEL DISCREPANCY WITH
REGARD TO THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE BOUNDARY...DECIDED TO KEEP A
FAIRLY LONG PERIOD OF WINDS TO AROUND 15 KT AND NE TO E FLOW.
SEAS/WAVES BUILD CLOSE TO SCA LEVELS W/ THIS SOLUTION BUT COULD BE
HIGHER OVER NORTHERN WATERS IF THE LATEST ECMWF SOLUTION VERIFIES.
