AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
359 AM EST SAT MAR 3 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST...WELL NORTH
OF THE REGION. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES THIS MORNING. A RETURN TO MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS
IS EXPECTED SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM TONIGHT/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS SHOWS SFC WARM FRONT ORIENTED FROM SOUTH
CENTRAL VA...AND EXTENDING SW INTO THE NC FOOTHILLS AS OF 08Z. TO
THE WEST...IR/WV SATELLITE ANALYSIS NICELY DEPICTS DEEPENING LOW
PRESSURE AS IT CONTINUES TO LIFT NE ACROSS THE U.P. OF MICHIGAN
TOWARDS ONTARIO THIS MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED STRONG COLD FRONT
LIES TO THE SE AND EXTENDS FROM JUST WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS INTO
THE EASTERN TN VLY.

TEMPERATURES PRESENTLY INTO THE M-U50S ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL
VA/LOWER MD...WITH 60S FARTHER S INTO THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS S VA
AND NC COASTAL PLAIN. PATCHY FOG ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FRONT HAS
REDUCED VISIBILITIES INTO THE 1-2SM RANGE OVER MUCH OF CENTRAL VA
OVER TO THE NORTHERN NECK...WITH VISIBILITIES LOCALLY BELOW 1 MILE
IN SPOTS. HOWEVER...EXPECT THIS SHOULD IMPROVE QUICKLY TOWARDS
DAWN AS WARM FRONT SURGES NORTH OF THE AREA. ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT NOW OVER MOST AREAS
WEST OF I-95. BIGGEST CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS WITH BRIEF HEAVY
RAINFALL WITH THE PRE-FRONTAL SHRAS. ONCE AGAIN, STRONG FORCING
MECHANISM IS LACKING W/PARENT LOW WELL OFF TO OUR NW. WHILE SOME
LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS CANNOT BE RULED OUT OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS GIVEN THE GOOD AMOUNT OF UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR...THE
OVERALL THREAT REMAINS LOW. BEST CHC FOR ANY STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS WOULD BE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AS LLVL CAD GETS SCOURED OUT.
WILL CONTINUE TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POTENTIAL IN HWO.

FRONTAL TIMING NOW A BIT FASTER WITH 00Z/03 SUITE OF MODELS...WITH
WARM FRONT SURGING NORTH THROUGH 12-15Z AND SFC COLD FRONT PUSHING
ACROSS THE CWA AND PIVOTING OFFSHORE BY 18Z TODAY. USED HRRR/RUC TO
TIME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING. PIVOTED PCPN SHIELD
FROM I-95 CORRIDOR TO NC COASTAL PLAIN AFTER 12Z THROUGH THIS AFTN.
THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF THE COLD FRONT STILL LOOKS TO BECOME HUNG UP
ALONG COASTAL PLAIN OF SE VA/NE NC THIS AFTN/TNGT. AS A
RESULT...WHILE CLEARING OCCURS LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTN
INLAND ON GUSTY W-NW WINDS. CLOUDS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE SE THIRD
OF THE CWA FOR MUCH OF THE DAY AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING
ALONG THE COLD FRONT OVER SC COAST.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE A CHALLENGE GIVEN PARTIAL AFTN CLEARING
EXPECTED INLAND LINGERING LOW CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION OVER NE NC. NO
REAL CAA TO SPEAK OF WITH THIS FROPA. DRIER AIR FILTERING INTO THE
PIEDMONT THIS AFTN SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME SUN THIS AFTN, WHICH SHOULD
ALLOW FOR HIGHS INTO THE MID 60S INLAND. HIGHS SHOULD BE ACHIEVED
EARLY OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN....MAINLY IN THE LOWER 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
DEVELOPING SFC LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE STALLED THE COLD FRONT AS AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGS INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. TONIGHT. THE
DIGGING TROUGH AND SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE CIRCULATION DEVELOPING
ALONG THE SOUTHERN END OF THE COLD FRONT WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION
OVER NORTHEAST NC AND NEAR THE SOUTHEAST VA COAST THROUGH MIDDAY
SUNDAY. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AS THE SFC LOW APPROACHES LATE
TONIGHT...00Z MODELS WANT TO BEND PCPN SHIELD BACK INLAND TOWARDS
CENTRAL VA AND THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
MORNING, WITH THE NAM A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE IN DOING SO. AS HPC
NOTED IN THEIR DISCUSSION EARLIER THIS MORNING...IF PRESENT FORECAST
RATIONALE VERIFIES AND SHRAS SLIDE OFFSHORE AS EXPECTED THIS AFTN,
MODELS LKLY ARE TOO FAR WEST WITH DEVELOPING LOW OFF THE CAROLINA
COAST...AND THEREFORE TOO FAR INLAND WITH QPF. ACCORDINGLY, HAVE
KEPT POPS OUT OF MUCH OF CENTRAL VA...NAMELY ALONG AND NW OF AN
AVC-PTB-CGE LINE. LINGERED RAIN CHCS ACROSS SE ZONES THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING, WITH DRIER AIR FINALLY ALLOWING FOR CLEARING FOR THE LATTER
HALF OF SUNDAY. FOR QPF DURING THIS PERIOD...WENT ON THE LOW END OF
GUIDANCE DEPICTING BETWEEN A QUARTER AND A HALF OF AN INCH OVER THE
NW CWA TO AROUND 1 INCH ALONG/NORTH OF ALBEMARLE SOUND.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER IN BOTH TRACK AND MOISTURE FIELDS WITH
RESPECT TO A QUICK MOVING S/W "CLIPPER" PROGGED TO TRACK ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION MONDAY. GIVEN THE MODEL DIFFERENCES..WILL
KEEP SLIGHT CHC POPS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. COOL
WITH TEMPS HOLDING BETWEEN M-U40S GIVEN THE CLOUD COVERAGE AND NW
WIND FLOW.

DECENT CAA PROGGED BEHIND SYSTEM MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. TEMPS
MONDAY NIGHT DROP INTO THE M-U20S W OF CHES BAY AND U20-M30S ALONG
THE COAST ALONG WITH CLEARING SKIES. SUNNY TUESDAY AS CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. HIGHS IN THE M-U40S AT THE COASTS TO
50-55 W OF CHES BAY. LOWS TUES NIGHT U20S-L30S.

RIDGE AXIS MOVES OFFSHORE ALLOWING A RETURN SW FLOW TO DEVELOP BY
MID WEEK. DRY WED AND THURS WITH A WARMING TREND. HIGHS WED 60-65
AND 65-70 THURS. LOWS IN THE 40S.

NEXT FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION BY LATE NEXT FRIDAY. AT THIS
POINT...ADDED A SLIGHT CHC POPS TO THE WESTERN COUNTIES. CONTINUED
WARM AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY WITH HIGHS 65-70.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 06Z...THE WARM FRONT HAS MOVED N OF PHF AND LOW CLOUDS HAVE
CLEARED AT PHF ORF AND ECG AS WELL AS OTHER LOCATIONS S OF THE
FRONT. LIFR CONDITIONS WERE PRESENT AT SBY AND RIC. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE N OF THESE SITES LATER DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS.
IN THE MEANTIME...SHOWERS AND A FEW TSTMS TO OUR WEST WILL MOVE EAST
AND AFFECT THE TAF SITES DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS AS A
COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. DID NOT INCLUDE TSTMS IN THE TAFS AS
CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW AT THIS POINT. THE TIME FRAME FOR ANY
CONVECTION THAT DOES OCCUR HAS CHANGED LITTLE FROM THE EARLIER
DISCUSSION...KRIC 10-13Z...KSBY 11-14Z...KPHF 12-16Z...KORF
13-17Z...AND KECG 15-19Z. BEST CHANCE FOR TSTMS WILL BE AT
KPHF...KORF...KECG.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES EXCEPT AT
ECG. MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO HANG ON THROUGH THE AFTN AND SOME
LIGHT RAIN MAY DEVELOP TONIGHT. THIS RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO
SUNDAY...POSSIBLY SPREADING TO ORF.

MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST DURING THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK
ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR RAIN MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHERLY WINDS WERE INCREASING OVER THE WATERS FROM S TO N AS A
WARM FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD. SEAS INCREASED TO 8 FT FRIDAY EVENING AT
BUOY 09 (OFF THE MD COAST)...MAINLY AS A RESULT OF AN EASTERLY
SWELL.

A COLD FRONT ARRIVES FROM THE WEST AND SHIFT WINDS TO WESTERLY
DURING THE DAY. WINDS WILL REACH SCA CRITERIA IN THE BAY AND SOUND
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT AND THEN DIMINISH BY AFTN. SCA IS IN
EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS THROUGH 21Z. IN THE COASTAL WATERS...SEAS
WILL BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE AND THE SCA CONTINUES INTO LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT.

WINDS INCREASE ONCE AGAIN LATE MONDAY BEHIND AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT
WAVE AND ASSOCIATED CLIPPER LOW. SCA MAY BE NEEDED MONDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
MINOR FLOODING IS OCCURRING AT THE WESTHAM GAGE AT RICHMOND.
CURRENT FORECASTS HAVE THE JAMES RIVER CRESTING BY MID-MORNING
AROUND OR JUST UNDER ONE FOOT ABOVE FLOOD STAGE AND REMAINING IN
FLOOD THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
SEEING TIDES ACROSS MIDDLE CHESAPEAKE BAY AT 1-1.5 FT ABOVE
NORMAL FOR THE UPCOMING TIDE CYCLE...WITH ANOMALIES RELAXING BACK
TOWARDS NORMAL THIS EVENING AND INTO SUNDAY. EVEN WITH THESE
ELEVATED LEVELS THIS MORNING...TIDE LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN AT LEAST
1/2 FOOT BELOW MINOR FLOODING THRESHOLDS.

&&

.CLIMATE...
SEE WBCPNSAKQ FOR DETAILS ON METEOROLOGICAL WINTER (DEC-FEB) AT
RICHMOND AND NORFOLK (BOTH BEING 4TH WARMEST ON RECORD).
