AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
326 PM EDT SAT SEP 8 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE AREA SUNDAY AND REMAINS SITUATED OVER THE REGION
THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
     SVR TSTM WATCH 638 NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH 02Z/10PM...

LATEST WV SAT IMAGERY NICELY DEPICTS DIGGING MID-LVL TROUGH TAKING
ON A NEGATIVE TILT AS IT AMPLIFIES AND DIGS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
AND THE MID-SOUTH, AS THE STRONG ATTENDANT COLD FRONT CONTINUES
TO SWEEP ACROSS THE MTNS INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF PA/MD AND WV.

LOW STRATUS ACROSS THE SE OF EARLIER TDA HAS BECOME A SCT-BKN CU
FIELD, WITH ADDITIONAL CU NOW POPPING UP ACROSS THE WEST. 0-6 KM
BULK SHEAR HAS BEGUN TO INCREASE AS EXPECTED AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES. 30-35KT OF 0-6KM SHEAR IS EXPECTED BY LATE AFTN,
COINCIDENT WITH MLCAPE VALUES IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. FRONT
CROSSES INTO FAR WEST BETWEEN 5-7PM, THE I-95 CORRIDOR BY 7-10PM
AND CLEARING DELMARVA BY MIDNIGHT.

ALTHOUGH BEST DYNAMICS AND LOW-LVL JET REMAIN CONFINED NORTH/WEST
OF THE FA...WILL CONTINUE TO SEE ISO-SCT SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY
DEVELOPING ALONG PRE-FRONTAL/COASTAL TROUGH, WITH THIS ACTIVITY
EXPECTED TO CONGEAL INTO A MORE ORGANIZED SQUALL LINE/BROKEN LINE
SEGMENT WEST OF I-95 AFTER 4-5PM, SWEEPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
LOCAL AREA INTO THIS EVENING. ACCORDINGLY, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH THIS EVENING. BIGGEST THREAT WILL
BE DAMAGING WINDS DUE TO STEEP LO-LVL LAPSE RATES AND STRONG
SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARRIVING POTENT FRONT. LARGE HAIL IS
POSSIBLE, THOUGH FAR LESS LIKELY AS MID-LVL LAPSE RATES ARE WEAK
(5-5.5 C/KM). SCT SHRAS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AFTER SUNSET BEHIND
THE FRONT AS DEPICTED BY THE INCOMING 12Z ECMWF...BEFORE TAPERING
OFF LATE TONIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST. FRONT WILL SLOW A BIT ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST, SLIDING OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT. ACCORDINGLY, SCT RAIN
SHRAS LKLY TO PERSIST INTO SUN MORNING OVER FAR SE COUNTIES
(EXTREME SE VA/NE NC) WITH CLEARING OVER THESE AREAS LIKELY
DELAYED UNTIL AFTER SUNRISE SUN MORNING. AS FOR TEMPS...EARLY
MORNING LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPR 50S OVER NW AREAS TO THE UPR
60S OVER SE VA/NC.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STRONG N-NW FLOW BEHIND THE EXITING COLD FRONT WILL PROVIDE FOR A
PLEASANT AND DRY DAY SUNDAY. WITH THE SECONDARY MID-LVL TROUGH
STILL PIVOTING THROUGH THE NE AND MID-ATLANTIC STATES SUNDAY
BEFORE PIVOTING OFFSHORE EARLY MONDAY. OTHERWISE, EXPECT N/NW
FLOW TO ALLOW MARKEDLY COOLER, DRIER AIRMASS TO SPILL ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD, WITH LITTLE MORE THAN A FEW-SCT MID
LEVEL CLOUDS EACH DAY. H85 TEMPS FALLING TO AROUND 10C SUPPORTS
HIGH TEMPS IN THE UPR 70S TO AROUND 80. EARLY MORNING LOWS IN THE
MID 50S INLAND TO LOWER 60S COASTAL ZONES.

~1026MB SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TO THE NORTH
MONDAY BEFORE RIDGING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD TUESDAY THROUGH
MIDWEEK. RESULTANT NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL BRING CONTINED
PLEASANT AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH MIDWEEK. HIGHS ONCE AGAIN
RIGHT AROUND 80 DEGREES UNDER A PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKY.
CHILLY EARLY MORNING LOWS TUESDAY MORNING GENERALLY IN THE 50S TO
NEAR 60.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. SOME
CHANGES MAY BE IN STORE BY THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
SEASONABLE THROUGH SATURDAY BUT WILL GRADUALLY CLIMB DURING THE
EXTENDED PERIOD.

THE EURO AND GFS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AN
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA NEAR THE
US/CANADIAN BORDER. TROUGHING ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL RESULT
IN UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE TROUGH AND AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT
APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST SATURDAY AND MAY RESULT IN SCATTERED
SHOWER AND TSTM ACTIVITY BY THE WEEKEND. MODELS DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY
WITH THE DETAILS OF THIS TROUGH AS IT CROSSES THE OHIO VALLEY. HPC
AND MOS GUIDE ARE NOT AT ALL BULLISH WITH POPS AND CAPPED OUR CWA AT
20 PERCENT FOR SATURDAY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST IN THE LOWER 80S WEDNESDAY EXCEPT
UPPER 70S NEAR THE COAST. THESE WARM INTO THE MID TO UPR 80S BY
FRIDAY EXCEPT SLIGHTLY COOLER NEAR THE COAST. MAXIMUM READINGS
SHOULD HOLD LOW TO MID 80S ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY MAINLY DUE TO
INCREASING CLOUD COVER. LOWS WEDNESDAY MORNING SHOULD RANGE FROM THE
LOW TO MID 50S WELL INLAND TO THE LOW TO MID 60S NEAR THE COAST...
THEN WARM TO AROUND 60 WELL INLAND TO THE MID AND UPR 60S AT THE
SHORE SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GUSTY S-SW WINDS HAVE INCREASED EARLY THIS AFTN AND WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA
AND ALLOWS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO TIGHTEN UP. BEST THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES WILL OCCUR AT KRIC AFTER 08/2000Z. REST OF THE TAF SITES
HAVE BEEN IN LOW CLOUDS MOST OF THE DAY AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE
NOT AS FAVORABLE...WILL THEREFORE HOLD TO VCTS WORDING FOR NOW.
GREATEST THREAT WITH THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL BE STRONG DOWNBURST
WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN. WINDS WILL STAY OUT OF THE S-SW
TODAY...BACKING TO THE SE JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT DUE TO INFLOW
WINDS. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD DIE DOWN AND VEER TO THE W-NW IN AREAS OF
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION. ONCE PRECIP HAS ENDED...WINDS WILL BE OUT
OF THE NORTH SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY
CONDITIONS PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
BREEZY S-SW WINDS OF 15-20 KT WILL COMMON OVER THE WATERS REST OF
TODAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. THE FRONT CROSSES THE
WATERS LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. EXPECT
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE...THEN TRANSITIONING INTO
STEADY RAIN WITH A WIND SHIFT TO THE NW-NNW. STILL EXPECTING A SURGE
TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT (GENERALLY 20-25 KT) AND SCA FLAGS THROUGH
MID DAY SUNDAY BEFORE CONDITIONS WANE. A SECOND ROUND OF SCA FLAGS
DUE TO CAA OVER WARMER WATERS AND PERSIST N WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED
SUNDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A POTENTIAL WEAKER SURGE MONDAY NIGHT.
RATHER THAN CARRY AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SCA HEADLINES...WILL OPT TO
TACKLE HEADLINES EACH DAY.

LONG PERIOD SWELL WILL CONTINUE ALONG ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS DUE TO
TROPICAL STORM LESLIE TRACKING INTO NEWFOUNDLAND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
PER THE OCEAN PREDICTION CENTER...SWELL FROM LESLIE SHOULD LAST
THROUGH MONDAY...HOWEVER HURRICANE MICHAEL IS PROGGED TO TAKE A
SIMILAR STORM TRACK AS LESLIE AND COULD EXTEND LONG PERIOD SWELL
THROUGH TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY.
