AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
812 AM EDT FRI AUG 10 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE GREAT LAKES TODAY INTO
SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
WEST ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS DEPICTS SFC LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NW OHIO/SE
MICHIGAN...WITH UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER LAKE MICHIGAN. OUT AHEAD OF
THIS ACRS THE MID ATLC AND SE STATES...FLOW ALOFT IS INCREASING AS
THE H5 GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES TRACKING NE
THROUGH THE SW FLOW ARE HELPING TO BRING SHOWERS W/ SCATTERED TSTMS
INTO THE VA PIEDMONT.

MSAS 3 HR PRESSURE CHANGES ARE SHOWING FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT FALLS FROM
WV DOWN INTO NC DUE TO INCREASING DIVERGENCE ALOFT AND THE PARENT
LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES BECOMING STACKED W/ HEIGHT. FOR
TODAY...ENTIRE CWA REMAINS IN SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WX...WITH
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL AS THE MAIN THREATS.
HOWEVER...LATEST RADAR  AND SATELLITE TRENDS AND MODEL BUFR SOUNDING
DATA SUGGEST A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD AREA OF RAIN (LIKELY POPS) AND OVC
CONDITIONS OVER MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE CWA THIS MORNING. THIS WOULD
TEND TO KEEP INSTABILITY DOWN SOMEWHAT AND SEVERE THREAT TO MORE OF
A MINIMUM. BY LATE MORNING...AS SFC PRESSURE FALLS INTENSIFY TO THE
LEE OF MTNS...A MESO-LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WHICH WOULD INCREASE
THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR TO SOME EXTENT AND COULD SEE SOME CLEARING OVER
SOUTHERN VA/NE NC BY AFTN. IF BOUNDARY LEVEL FLOW DIRECTION OF
170-190 CAN BECOME CO-LOCATED WITH SOME CLEARING THIS AFTN THERE
COULD EVEN BE AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT IN ADDITION TO THE STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS. OVERALL THOUGH...MOST LIKELY SCENARIO APPEARS TO BE THAT
WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE TO THE SW/SSW WHEN BETTER INSTABILITY ARRIVES
THIS AFTN (WITH LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR DIMINISHING). OTHER
ISSUE WILL BE HEAVY RAIN/LOCALIZED FLOODING DUE TO PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES AVERAGING AROUND 2" BY AFTN. WILL MENTION ALL OF THIS
IN THE HWO. AS FOR POPS TODAY...ALL ZONES WILL HAVE LIKELY
POPS/60-70% AT SOME POINT...BUT WITH A LULL EXPECTED FOR A FEW HRS IN
THE AFTN AS 1ST WAVE OF MSTR LIFTS NORTH. BOTH MAV/MET GUIDANCE AS
COME IN COOLER FOR HIGH TODAY DUE TO CLOUD COVER AND FCST WILL
FOLLOW SUIT...HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.

RAINFALL SHOULD BECOME FAIRLY WIDESPREAD ONCE AGAIN THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...ANY SEVERE THREAT WILL TEND TO
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. LOWS MAINLY 70-75.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SATURDAY... PARENT COLD FRONT MOVES OFF TO THE NE AS SFC LOW
CENTERED OVER SRN LAKE HURON MOVES UP INTO JAMES BAY/WEST CTRL
ONTARIO (ALONG W/THE CO-LOCATED UPPER LOW). SOME SHORTWAVE
ENERGY...A LINGERING SFC BOUNDARY/WEAK FRONT...AND HAVING THE RRQ
OF A JET STREAK OVER THE AREA (IN ADDITION TO PLENTY OF LLVL
MOISTURE) WILL RESULT IN FAVORABLE DYNAMICS FOR REGIONWIDE AFTN
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. SOMEWHAT SLOWER MODEL TRENDS IN THIS
AMPLIFIED PATTERN SUGGEST KEEPING LIKELY POPS THROUGH THE AFTN FOR
MOST OF THE CWA (CHC POPS IN THE PIEDMONT WHERE SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR
INFILTRATES FROM THE WEST). THERE COULD BE A MARGINAL SEVERE
THREAT ONCE AGAIN BUT OVERALL LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE PRIMARY
ISSUE. ALL SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF
FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE/DRIER AIR BUILDS IN FROM THE TN VALLEY. HIGHS WILL BE
SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS (MID 80S). LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT
WILL ALSO BE NEAR NORMAL (MID-UPR 60S INLAND... UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S CLOSER TO THE COAST).

SUNDAY...
REMNANTS OF THE GREAT LAKES UPPER TROUGH WILL CROSS THE AREA.
EXPECT PRIMARILY DRY CONDITIONS UNDER PARTLY SUNNY SKIES DUE TO
AFTN CU DEVELOPMENT AND DRYING WESTERLY FLOW. HOWEVER...THE
LINGERING SFC BOUNDARY PLUS SOUTHERLY FLOW ALONG THE COAST MAY BE
ENOUGH FOR A FEW AIRMASS THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE CU
FIELD DURING THE AFTN. HIGHS IN THE MID-UPPER 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GENERALLY QUIET WX ON TAP FOR MUCH OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD NO MAJOR
SYSTEMS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE LOCAL AREA. UPR-LVL TROF OVER
ONTARIO/QUEBEC SUN WILL PULL FARTHER NE SUN AND MON WHILE AN
UPSTREAM S/W PIVOTS THRU THE GREAT LAKES REGION. MEANWHILE...SFC HI
PRES BLDS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC MON LEADING TO MSTLY/PRTLY SNY SKIES
AND GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS OUTSIDE ANY SEA-BREEZE INDUCED
CONVECTION. SFC TROF AND S/W ENERGY EMBEDDED IN THE WEAK CYCLONIC
FLOW ALOFT MOVES INTO THE AREA TUE LEADING TO A CHC (30%) FOR SHWRS
AND TSTMS. RAIN AGAIN POSSIBLE WED WITH SFC TROF STILL IN
PLACE...THEN DRY CONDITIONS RETURN THU AS SFC HI PRES BLDS BACK INTO
THE AREA.

TEMPS NEAR NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD...HIGHS IN THE UPR 80S TO LOW 90S
WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
BROAD AREA OF MODERATE/LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NE INTO CENTRAL VA THIS MORNING. SLY WINDS
GENERALLY 5 TO 10 KTS AND WARM TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING WILL HELP
INHIBIT THE ONSET OF FOG. THUS HAVE OPTED TO TAKE ALL MENTION OF
MVFR VIS DUE TO FOG OUT OF TAFS. HOWEVER...A SUBTLE BOUNDARY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES COULD RESULT IN BRIEF IFR
CIGS...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN BAY AND KSBY. WARMING
CLOUD TOPS...LESS LIGHTNING AND DECREASING COVERAGE OF RAINFALL
SHOW THAT THE AREA OF SHOWERS IS WEAKENING. HOWEVER...A WARM/MOIST
AIRMASS ALREADY IN PLACE COULD HELP SHOWERS REDEVELOP AS THEY MOVE
INTO THE REGION. AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES CLOSER TO THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIKELY WITH SLY
WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND
STRONG GUSTY WINDS. WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR FUTURE
RADAR/SATELLITE TRENDS AS WELL AS LATEST MODEL DATA TO BETTER NAIL
DOWN EXACT TIMING OF CONVECTION...THUS HAVE OPTED TO JUST INCLUDE
VCSH IN TAFS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.
THEREAFTER...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ALLOWING FOR DRY AND VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB SCA SLY WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 18 KTS OBSERVED ACROSS
THE WATERS THIS MORNING AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLOWLY APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST. BY LATE AFTERNOON...LOW PRESSURE WILL LOCATE NEAR
LAKE ONTARIO WITH A COLD FRONT STRETCHING SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN VA. A
STRONG SFC GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN STRONG SLY WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KTS
ACROSS THE BAY WITH SEAS OF 3 FT. FOR THE COASTAL WATERS...EXPECT
WINDS 20 TO 25 KTS WITH SEAS 5 TO 6 FT. HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE AN
SCA FOR THE BAY AND NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH
SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL LOCATE ACROSS EASTERN VA SATURDAY AFTERNOON
BEFORE DISSIPATING OR CROSSING THE WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY
MORNING. AS THIS OCCURS...THE LOW LEVEL GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN
ALLOWING WINDS TO SUBSIDE AND SEAS TO CALM. NOT ANTICIPATING SCA
CONDITIONS POST FRONT DUE TO LACK OF COLD AIR ADVECTION. SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE AND TRANQUIL MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
