NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
326 PM EST TUE JAN 3 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WILL BRING THE COLDEST
TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY
WARM OVER THE AREA FROM THURSDAY INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS
HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES CENTERED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE ADVERTISED (SHORT) COLD SNAP WELL UNDERWAY WITH TEMPS HARD
PRESSED TO GET ABOVE THE M30S THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTY NW WINDS AT
20-30 MPH RESULTING IN WIND CHILLS BETWEEN 15-25 DEGREES. LAKE
EFFECT SNOW FLURRIES / SHOWERS NOW AS FAR E AS THE EASTERN SHORE.
INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT ONE CAN TRACE THIS LAKE STREAMER ALL THE
WAY BACK TO LAKE ERIE AND LAKE HURON.

MODELS CONT TO INDICATE CHANELLING VORTICITY / LIFT ACROSS THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY AND EASTERN SHORE AREAS THIS EVENING AS SECONDARY
TROF MOVES ACROSS THE AREA THEN MERGES WITH OFFSHORE LOW. WILL
KEEP LOW CHC FLURRIES / SNOW SHOWERS GOING THERE. SUPPORT CUTS OFF
BY MIDNIGHT WITH SKIES CLEARING. OTW...SC CLOUDS DISSIPATE THIS
EVE ALONG WITH DIMINISHING WINDS. SOME MIXING (ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE COAST) OVERNIGHT WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM GETTING AS COLD AS THEY
COULD...BUT STILL A VERY COLD NIGHT AHEAD WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE
MID-UPR TEENS TO LWR 20S. WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS / 20S THIS EVE
THEN LEVEL OFF AS WINDS DIE DOWN AFTER MIDNIGHT AS OFFSHORE LOW
MOVES FURTHER E.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WITH NO DOWNSTREAM BLOCKING...WINTERS VISIT WILL BE SHORT DUE TO
THE PROGRESSIVE UPR LEVEL PATTERN. 12Z DATA CONTINUES TO SHOW THE
DEEP EASTERN TROF LIFTING OUT WEDNESDAY AND BEING REPLACED BY A
NEARLY ZONAL FLOW THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

SERN US RIDGE BUILDS IN THROUGH THE PERIOD. NEXT SYSTEM TRACKS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER STATES THURSDAY. ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT
ADVANCES E BUT WITH ONLY ENOUGH MOISTURE TO PRODUCE HIGH/MID LEVEL
CLOUDS PER TSCTNS.

THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON WILL BE OVERHEAD WED MORN SO EXPECT
A SLOW RECOVERY WED AFTERNOON UNDER PT SUNNY SKIES NORTHERN AREAS
TO M SUNNY SOUTHERN AREAS. LATE DAY H85 TEMPS SUPPORT HIGHS 35-40.

A FAST MOVING S/W PROGGED TO MOVE SE ACROSS FA WED NITE. DRY AS
SINGLE DIGIT DEW POINT TEMPS BEGIN TO WARM DUE TO A RETURN S-SW
FLOW. LOWS IN THE 20S TO NEAR 30 SERN COASTAL AREAS.

WARM FRONT WELL NORTH OF REGION THU ALLOWS SERN RIDGE TO BUILD
BACK INTO THE MID ATLANTIC. RISING H5 HEIGHTS AND H85 TEMPS
TRANSLATES INTO ABOUT A 10 DEGREE JUMP IN MAX TEMPS BOTH DAYS
UNDER PT TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. HIGHS THURSDAY IN THE M40S-L50S.
LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT U20S-L30S. HIGHS FRIDAY M50S-L60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD BEGINS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH ZONAL FLOW FROM THE
PLAINS TO THE EAST COAST WITH A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM OVER THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. BY THIS POINT A PACIFIC AIRMASS WILL HAVE
OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE COUNTRY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EXTREME
NORTHERN STATES. A TROUGH DIGS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS SATURDAY
AND THIS WILL ALLOW THE SOUTHERN SYSTEM TO LIFT INTO THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NE ACROSS THE
MID ATLANTIC SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT
MOVING THROUGH LATER SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. CHANCE POPS WILL BE
MAINTAINED FOR THE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY PERIODS. DRIER NW FLOW
THEN PREVAILS EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM
EMERGES FROM TX/LA TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AND LIFTS NE.
TIMING HAS BEEN INCONSISTENT AMONGST NUMERICAL MODELS AND IT WOULD
LIKELY AFFECT THE REGION BEYOND THE CURRENT FORECAST PERIOD...SO NO
RAINFALL IS FORECAST AT THE TAIL END OF THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES
WILL LIKELY BE ABOVE NORMAL SATURDAY AND TREND CLOSER TOWARD NORMAL
BY MONDAY BEFORE LIKELY WARMING AGAIN TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD...BUT STRONG NW
FLOW AND A BIT OF INSTABILITY ALOFT...WILL HELP TO INDUCE SOME SNOW
SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN SHORE. A FEW FLURRIES MAY EVEN REACH INTO
THE NORTHERN NECK AND PENINSULA OF VIRGINIA. CEILINGS ACROSS THE
REGION WILL GENERALLY BE 4000-5000 FT...BUT LOWER VISIBILITIES AND
CEILINGS MAY OCCUR FOR A SHORT PERIOD IN SNOW SHOWERS. NW WINDS WILL
BE GUSTING TO 20-30 KT UNTIL SUNSET...THEN DIMINISH TO 10-15 KT
THROUGH THE NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD INTO THE REGION
OVERNIGHT.

OUTLOOK: VFR AND DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING.

&&

.MARINE...
UPDATE TO BE ISSUED SHORTLY.

PVS DSCN:
A STRONGER SURGE OF CAA IS EXPECTED OVER THE WATERS TODAY AS LOW
PRESSURE DEEPENS WELL OFFSHORE. THIS WILL LEAD TO DEEP MIXING OVER
THE RELATIVELY WARM WATERS WHICH WILL IN TURN RESULT IN GALES OVER
THE ENTIRE MARINE AREA. THE BEST MIXING WILL OCCUR FROM MID-
MORNING INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON...SO THIS IS WHEN WE EXPECT GALE
FORCE WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 35-40 KTS. PER LOCAL POLICY...HAVE GONE
AHEAD AND BEGUN THE GALE WARNING EARLY THIS MORNING FOR THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY/CURRITUCK SOUND WHILE THE GALE WARNING FOR THE
COASTAL WATERS REMAINS IN EFFECT. HAVE ALSO EXTENDED THE END TIME
OF THE GALE WARNING THRU 10 PM FOR THE COASTAL WATERS. OFFSHORE NW
WIND DIRECTION WILL KEEP SEAS FROM BUILDING TOO HIGH...MAINLY TO
5-7 FT.

GRADIENT RELAXES LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS SOUTH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...SCA CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY
EXTEND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ANOTHER FRONT/SFC TROUGH WILL
BRING AN INCREASE IN WINDS ONCE AGAIN WED NITE AND THURS...POSSIBLY
TO SCA LEVELS.
