AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
1241 PM EDT TUE MAY 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL PREVAIL OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES
THROUGH TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST
WEDNESDAY AND PASSES THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE AT 1230 PM TO EXTEND LIKELY POPS OVER PORTIONS OF NE NORTH
CAROLINA (CURRITUCK AREA) AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST PORTION OF
VIRGINIA UNTIL 19Z (3 PM). ONE CELL NEAR THE VA/NC BORDER
BRIEFLY APPROACHED SEVERE AND WILL MONITOR THIS AREA.

OVER THE PIEDMONT...CLOUD COVER IS GOING TO SLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF
TSTMS BUT STILL EXPECTING THEM BY MID AFTN. ISOLATED SEVERE PSBL
WITH STRONGEST CELLS...MAINLY FOR DAMAGING WINDS. TSTMS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP IN THIS AREA AND MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST TOWARD EVENING.

ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED TSTMS ARE EXPECTED ACRS
THE AREA.

1030 AM UPDATE...
UPDATED POPS AND QPF WITH LATE MORNING UPDATE. SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED TSTMS WILL CONTINUE OVER SE VA THROUGH NE NC MUCH OF THE
DAY. ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN NC AND SEA BREEZE
INTERACTION IS PSBL THIS AFTN.

STREET FLOODING WAS A PROBLEM IN PORTIONS OF THE TIDEWATER AREA
THIS MORNING AND THIS MAY BE AGGREVATED BY LOCALLY HEAVIER PCPN
THE REST OF THE TODAY.

SPC HAS UPGRADED NEARLY ALL OF OUR AREA (EXCEPT COASTAL MD AND NC)
WITH SLIGHT RISK. DEW POINTS ARE FARILY HIGH AND CONVECTIVE
TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 70S OVER CENTRAL VA. SFC BASED CAPES
ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 2 TO 3K J/KG. LEE SIDE TROUGH MAY INITIATE
TSTMS OVER THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL VIRGINIA PIEDMONT AROUND 2 PM EDT.
HRRR DEPICTS THIS AND HAS ACTIVITY MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH CENTRAL
VA LATE THIS AFTN. FOR NOW HAVE GONE WITH 50 PERCENT POPS. WILL
MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE IN THE HWO.

UPDATE ALSO CUT BACK POPS TO AROUND 30 PERCENT ON THE EASTERN
SHORE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AS THE AREA SHOULD BE WORKED OVER
WELL FROM THIS MORNINGS ACTIVITY AND CLOUD COVER WILL DELAY
REDEVELOPMENT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MOIST SOUTHERLY MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW FROM THE GULF AND
SOUTHEASTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW OFF THE ATLANTIC CONTINUES TO PRODUCE
AREAS OF SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN
VA/MD AND DE. A LACK OF LARGE SCALE FORCING HAS PREVENTED THESE
SHOWERS FROM ORGANIZING INTO A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAIN.
HOWEVER...A FEW LOCALIZED HEAVY DOWNPOURS OCCURRED EARLIER AND NEW
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE DISMAL SWAMP
DURING THE PAST HOUR. A BAND OF LIKELY POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED FOR
THE MORNING HOURS OVER THE EASTERN SHORE AND TIDEWATER.

NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE A RE-DEVELOPMENT OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AFTER A LATE MORNING/EARLY
AFTERNOON LULL. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO THE BEST
LOCATION OF SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT GENERALLY EXPECTING HIGHER
POPS EAST OF I-95. AT THIS POINT CLOUDS AND SOME EARLY MORNING RAIN
ARE EXPECTED TO INHIBIT THERMODYNAMIC DESTABILIZATION BY AFTERNOON
LARGELY PRECLUDING ANY THREAT OF STRONGER STORMS. HOWEVER...IF ANY
BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER OCCUR STEEPENING MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES COULD
RESULT IN MODERATE INSTABILITY MAINLY OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS.
THIS WILL BE MONITORED THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S
OVER THE EASTERN SHORE...TO AROUND 80 ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING...BEFORE DIMINISHING AFTER MIDNIGHT...AS AGAIN THERE IS NO
ROBUST UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. CLOUD COVER SHOULD REMAIN PLENTIFUL
OVERNIGHT AS MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE AMPLE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND
LIGHT SSW FLOW. LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE FROM 60-65.

THE RATHER STAGNANT MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW PATTERN CONTINUES INTO
WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT...WHICH BEGINS TO SWEEP IN FROM THE
NW BY THE AFTERNOON. ANOTHER ROUND OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED. AT THIS TIME THE HIGHEST
POPS APPEAR TO BE ACROSS THE TIDEWATER AND NE NC. THERE IS SOME
SPREAD AMONGST STATISTICAL GUIDANCE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY.
THE LATEST FORECAST IS FOR MAXIMA IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW
80S...WHICH IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE NAM/ECMWF NUMBERS INSTEAD OF
THE WARMER GFS BASED MAV.

DRIER AIR BEGINS TO MOVE IN FROM THE NW WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE COLD
FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE NORTH OF
THE LOCAL AREA THURSDAY RESULTING IN LOW-LEVEL NE FLOW. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE LOW 70S OVER THE EASTERN
SHORE (POSSIBLY UPPER 60S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE ATLANTIC COAST)...TO
THE UPPER 70S OVER THE PIEDMONT. A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
NEAR THE ALBEMARLE SOUND DUE TO HIGHER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND
ONSHORE FLOW...BUT WILL KEEP POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
PESKY UPR TROF FINALLY PUSHES OFFSHORE THU NGT AS SFC HI PRES
BLDS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC IN ITS WAKE. SEASONABLE CONDS EXPECTED
WITH A MSTLY CLR SKY...LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW AND LOWS IN THE LWR TO
MID 50S...UPR 50S NEAR THE COAST. STAGNANT HI PRES CONTINUES INTO
THE WEEKEND AS THE HI CENTERS OVR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND RIDGES
DOWN INTO THE FA. NO CHANCES FOR RAIN IN THE FORECAST. SKIES WILL
AVG MSTLY SNY TO PRTLY CLDY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPR 70S AND
LOWS GENERALLY IN THE MID 50S...NORMAL FOR MID MAY. QUIET WX
CONTINUES INTO ERLY NEXT WEEK WITH HIGHS APPROACHING 80 ON MON.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD FROM WEST
TO EAST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MID-MORNING AS A WEAK LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM LIFTS TO THE NORTH. MFVR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL ACCOMPANY THE
PRECIP AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS
UNSTABLE. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST.

ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT RESULTING IN POSSIBLE FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ALLOWING
FOR DRY CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
SCA CONDITIONS HAVE ENDED FOR THE BAY/CURRITUCK SOUND AND THUS HAVE
CANCELLED THE SCA PREVIOUSLY IN EFFECT. STILL WAITING ON SE WINDS TO
BUILD SEAS TO 5 FT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS EARLY THIS MORNING. SO
FAR IT'S BEEN A SLOW PROCESS WITH SEAS CURRENTLY RUNNING 3 TO 4 FT.
STILL THINK SEAS WILL BUILD AOA 5 FT LATER THIS MORNING AND
ESPECIALLY BY THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT GIVEN EXPECTED PERIOD OF
PROLONGED SE FETCH. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP CURRENT SCA FOR ALL OF OUR
COASTAL WATERS IN PLACE ALTHOUGH SCA CONDITIONS WILL NOT EXACTLY BE
MET UNTIL LATER THIS MORNING OR AFTERNOON. WILL HOLD OFF ON
EXTENDING SCA HEADLINES OUT ANY FARTHER IN TIME UNTIL WE SEE SEAS
START TO BUILD.

WINDS SHIFT TO THE SW LATE TONIGHT/WED ALLOWING SEAS TO DIMINISH...
THEN A COLD FRONT PUSHES THRU WED NIGHT ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO SHIFT
TO THE NORTH. SUB-SCA TO MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS AT BEST ARE
EXPECTED WITH THE FROPA DUE TO A LACK OF CAA. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
