AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
402 PM EDT WED APR 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH MID ATLANTIC STATES AND STALL
OVER THE CAROLINAS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA TO THE
NORTH OF THE FRONT. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG THE FRONT FROM
THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE CAROLINAS AND THEN OFF THE COAST
BY FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME WELL ESTABLISHED OVER THE
EASTERN SEABOARD FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA JUST TO
THE SOUTH OF AN E-W BOUNDARY THAT WAS JUST SOUTH OF RICHMOND. WINDS
IMMEDIATELY TO THE N OF THIS BOUNDARY WERE NORTHERLY. THE TRUE COLD
FRONT WAS ACROSS MARYLAND AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA/WEST VIRGINIA
AT 19Z. MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL BE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY IN OUR
AREA BUT WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHC TO CHC POPS FURTHER NORTH TO THE
SOUTH OF THE TRUE COLD FRONT EXCEPT REMOVED THEM FROM THE MD EASTERN
SHORE. THE TRUE COLD FRONT IS MARKED BY AN INCREASE IN NW WINDS AND
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER DEW POINTS. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD
THROUGH OUR CWA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF SOUTHEAST AND
SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA AS WELL AS OUR NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA
COUNTIES. THIS WATCH DOES NOT INCLUDE RICHMOND. THE SEVERE THREAT
IS FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL.

STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES PROVIDE THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL.
WET BULB ZERO IS AROUND 9 TO 10 THOUSAND FEET WHICH IS FAVORABLE FOR
HAIL. INVERTED V SOUNDINGS WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO STRONG AND LOCALLY
SEVERE WIND GUSTS. BULK SHEAR APPEARS TO BE AROUND 40 KNOTS.

THE FIRST BATCH OF TSTMS WILL CONTINUE SLIDING SOUTH. SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PSBL FURTHER NORTH. THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WILL LIKELY BE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE FIRST
BATCH OF TSTMS. HAVE LIKELY POPS FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA
THROUGH 02Z.

AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES S THROUGH THE AREA...PCPN WILL END FROM N TO
S. WILL KEEP SLGT CHC POPS OVER THE FAR SRN PORTION AFT 06Z.

LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 40S OVER THE MARYLAND
EASTERN SHORE AND FAR NRN PORTIONS TO THE MID 50S IN NE NORTH
CAROLINA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES WILL STALL
OVER THE CAROLINAS THURSDAY AND EARLY FRIDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT
WAVE AND SURFACE LOW MOVES FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND
THROUGH THE OHIO/TENNESSEE VALLEY TO THE CAROLINAS. THE FAR SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF OUR AREA APPEARS TO BE ON THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF PCPN
THAT IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD EASTWARD TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT. MOST
SREF PLUMES MEMBERS SHOW PCPN OVER THE FAR SRN PORTION THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT. HAVE MAINTAINED REASONABLE CONSISTENCY WITH EARLIER
FCSTS AND COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORS AND HAVE LIKELY POPS OVER
MOST OF OUR NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY
THROUGH 18Z. THERE WILL BE A FAIRLY SHARP CUT OFF TO ANY PCPN.
SLIGHT CHC OR CHC POPS ARE SET UP ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN VIRGINIA
COUNTIES AND JUST TO THE SOUTH OF RICHMOND/HENRICO.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEASONABLY COOL DURING THE LATER HALF OF THE
WEEK WITH HIGHS AROUND 60 BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. LOWS THURSDAY
NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 30S OVER THE NW PIEDMONT
COUNTIES AND MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE AREA TO THE LOW TO MID 40S
FURTHER SOUTH. THERE IS A MINIMAL THREAT FOR THE NEED OF A FROST
ADVISORY FRIDAY MORNING ON THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LATEST SUITE OF MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE PATTERN FOR THE
UPCOMING EASTER WEEKEND...MID/UPPER LEVELS WILL BE DOMINATED BY A
STRONG TROUGH OFF THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...EVENTUALLY PINCHING OFF
INTO A CUTOFF FEATURE OFF THE MID ATLC AND NE US COASTS. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS AS SFC LOW PRESSURE WELL OFFSHORE. FOR EASTER SUNDAY
AND BEYOND...ALL MODELS HAVE TRENDED DEEPER WITH THE UPPER LOW
OFFSHORE AND ACTUALLY BEGIN TO RETROGRADE THE SYSTEM BACK INTO THE
NE STATES AND EVENTUALLY THE ERN 1/3 OF THE CONUS INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...AS RIDGING AMPLIFIES ACRS THE PLAINS STATES.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. AT THIS TIME ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE
DEVELOPING IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA...WITH PEAK HEATING
APPROACHING... XPECT CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNNON
HOURS BEFORE A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. AT THIS
TIME CONFIDENCE IN EXACT TIMING FOR ANY PARTICULAR TERMINAL IS LOW.
HOWEVER THE ACTIVITY SHOULD PROGRESS FROM RIC SE INTO THE HAMPTON
ROADS AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND TO ECG BY THIS EVENING. EXPECT
CONDITIONS TO REMAIN VFR UNLESS A THUNDERSTORM PASSES OVER A
TERMINAL WHEN TEMP IFR WOULD BE PROBABLE. THUNDERSTORM PROBABILITY
AT SBY IS LOW. ANY THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE STRONG WIND GUSTS AND
HAIL.

LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS GA/SC AND THEN INTENSIFIES OFF THE COAST
LATER THIS WEEK. THIS COULD BRING PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER ALONG WITH
A CHANCE OF RAIN TO PRIMARILY ECG AND ORF LATER THIS WEEK...BUT
PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
RATHER VARIABLE WINDS ACRS THE MARINE CURRENTLY...AS WEAK BOUNDARIES
AND CONVECTION ARE DOMINATING THE OVERALL FLOW...IN GENERAL MORE OF
A SW FLOW OVER SOUTHERN AREAS AND N FLOW FARTHER NORTH...WITH
STRONGER WINDS CONFINED TO SHOWERS/TSTMS FOR THE EVENING HRS. SCA
HEADLINES WILL BE IN EFFECT ALL ZONES AT SOME POINT AFTER
MIDNIGHT...AS A COLD SURGE OF 20-25 KT IS ANTICIPATED FROM N-S. SEAS
ON THE COASTAL WATERS WILL BUILD TO 5-6 FT S AND 4-5 FT NORTH BY
08-12Z THU. THIS IS A FAIRLY QUICK SURGE...AND W/ HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN AND WEAKER GRADIENT BY AFTN ALL AREAS SHOULD SEE WINDS
DIMINISH TO 10-15 KT OR LESS (ALTHOUGH 5 FT SEAS WILL LINGER ACRS
THE SOUTH).

CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO GROW IN A SURFACE LOW TRACKING ACROSS ACROSS
GA/SC THURSDAY NIGHT...WHICH STRENGTHENS AS IT MOVES OFF THE COAST
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. MEANWHILE...STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. SCA CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY ONCE AGAIN
FRI-SAT AS NEXT CAA SURGE ARRIVES AND PRESSURE GRADIENT STRENGTHENS.
(STRONGEST WINDS OVER THE SOUTH BUT ALL AREAS LIKELY REACH SCA
THRESHOLDS AT SOME PT). SEAS BUILD TO 5-8 FT FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL ANOMALIES REMAIN ABOUT 1 FOOT ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA...BUT NO MINOR FLOOD THRESHOLDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MET
THROUGH WED. THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING BY
LATE THU INTO FRI/SAT...MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHERN BAY AND COASTAL
WATERS SOUTH OF CAPE CHARLES AS PATTERN WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF N/NE FLOW WHICH WILL INCREASE ANOMALIES
POSSIBLY TO 2 FT+ ABOVE NORMAL.
