AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
519 PM EDT SAT APR 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC THIS EVENING AND STALLS
ALONG THE COAST LATER TONIGHT. MEANWHILE...LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF
THE SOUTHEAST COAST...AND MOVES UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD SUNDAY. THIS
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY MONDAY OVER THE SAINT
LAWRENCE VALLEY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND A COLD FRONT APPROACH THE AREA BY
MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LATEST WATER VAPOR ANALYSIS SHOWS A COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE
EASTERN US. THE MOST CURRENT FEATURE OF INTEREST IS A JET STREAK
LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND SAINT LAWRENCE
VALLEY...AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. WEAK UPPER SUPPORT IN THE RRQ
OF THE JET COMBINED WITH 500-1000 J/KG OF MLCAPE HAS TRIGGERED SOME
RATHER BENIGN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PIEDMONT THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND
NUDGE SLIGHTLY EASTWARD.

THE MORE PROMINENT FEATURES OF INTEREST ARE AN IMPRESSIVE CLOSED LOW
OVER THE NORTHERN GULF...AND A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGGING
ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE DIGGING TROUGH ACROSS THE MIDWEST WILL
CAUSE THE SOUTHERN STREAM LOW TO MOVE NE ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA
TONIGHT. MEANWHILE...THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO
THE LOCAL AREA AND STALL OVERNIGHT.

THE TWO SYSTEMS WILL BEGIN TO PHASE WITH A STRENGTHENING ~1000MB
SURFACE LOW OFF THE SC COAST BY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND MOVE NORTHWARD ALONG THE COAST DURING THE DAY
REACHING THE DELMARVA BY AFTERNOON.

AS FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
MOVE IN FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING WITH THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN FROM SE TO N LATER
TONIGHT AND TOWARD MONDAY MORNING AS DEEP LAYER ASCENT INCREASES
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE CLOSED LOW. THUNDER REMAINS POSSIBLE OVER
SE LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT AS MINIMAL INSTABILITY PERSISTS.

DEEP LAYER ASCENT CONTINUES THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY OVER THE REGION
IN THE RRQ OF A 125KT ANTICYCLONIC JET OVER THE SAINT LAWRENCE
VALLEY. ROBUST LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT COMBINED WITH THE UPPER
SUPPORT WILL PRODUCE A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAIN. OVERALL STORM TOTAL
QPF IS FORECAST TO BE 2-2.5IN EAST OF I-95 WITH 1-2IN ALONG AND WEST
OF I-95. GIVEN ANTECEDENT DRY CONDITIONS FLOODING ISSUES ARE NOT
EXPECTED. THUNDER REMAINS POSSIBLE IN THE SE BEFORE THE LOW MOVES TO
THE NORTH BY AFTERNOON. STRONG PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL
PRODUCE BREEZY CONDITIONS (SUB WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA) ALONG THE
COAST FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SUNDAY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
CHALLENGING...BUT THE LATEST FORECAST IS FOR TEMPERATURES AROUND 50
IN THE PIEDMONT SUNDAY...WITH MID 60S ALONG THE SE COASTAL
LOCATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
RAINFALL SHOULD DIMINISH SW TO NE SUNDAY NIGHT AS DOWNSLOPE FLOW
BEGINS TO PREVAIL IN THE WAKE OF THE CYCLONE. THE MID/UPPER LOW
SLIDES OVER THE AREA MONDAY. STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES DEVELOP
UNDERNEATH THE COLD ANOMALY MOVING OVERHEAD (-3 ST DEV 500MB HEIGHTS
PER GEFS). THIS WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDER ALSO
CANNOT BE RULED OUT IF ENOUGH SURFACE HEATING OCCURS.
HOWEVER...DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND SUBSIDENCE SHOULD LIMIT COVERAGE AND
THE VERTICAL EXTENT OF ANY CONVECTIVE SHOWERS. HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE IN THE MID 50S TO LOW 60S. SUBSIDENCE AND DEEP MIXING WILL
ALLOW FOR A BREEZY WESTERLY WIND.

CONDITIONS SHOULD SLOWLY IMPROVE BY TUESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY
DEPARTS TO THE NORTHEAST. MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE
UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S...FOLLOWED BY MAXIMA IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID
60S UNDER A PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKY. BREEZY CONDITIONS SHOULD
PERSIST DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AN OMEGA HIGH OVER THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC OCEAN WILL KEEP A LONGWAVE
TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST U.S. THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY...ALLOWING A
SERIES OF SHORTWAVES TO IMPACT THE MID ATLANTIC STATES DURING THIS
TIMEFRAME. WEDNESDAY SHOULD BEGIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
DEPARTING SURFACE LOW AND LINGERING SHORTWAVE ENERGY ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. EXPECT SOME SHOWERS TO START THE
DAY...THEN THEY SHOULD TAPER OFF THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS WESTERLY
FLOW DEVELOPS ALOFT AND CREATES A DRYING DOWNSLOPE EFFECT AT THE
SURFACE.

A DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE WESTERN APPALACHIANS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK EAST OVER THE AREA BEFORE TURNING NORTHEAST ONCE
IT IS OFFSHORE. PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN FOCUSED ALONG THE COLD
FRONT...WHICH BECOMES DRAPED OVER NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN EXTREME
SOUTHEAST VA AND NORTHEAST NC FRIDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE...THE
PERSISTENT LONGWAVE TROUGH FINALLY GETS KICKED INTO NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND/CANADA AS THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC HIGH SHIFTS FAR ENOUGH TO
THE EAST AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE CENTRAL U.S.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FOR MOST
SITES. CAN NOT RULE OUT A CONVECTIVE SHOWER OR TSTM THIS
AFTN/EVENING...ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL BRING -RA TO KRIC
AND KSBY. THE FRONT WILL SLOW AS IT PUSHES EAST AND APPROACHES THE
COAST...POSSIBLY NEVER REACHING KECG.

LOW PRESSURE MOVING OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO AND ALONG THE CAROLINA
COAST WILL MOVE NNE ALONG THE FRONT BRINGING A 12 HR PERIOD OF
-RA...WINDS GUSTING TO 20 KT AND IFR CEILINGS LATE SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL TRACK OVER THE AREA LATE SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING. CLOUDY SKIES WITH -RA AND WINDS GUSTING OVER 25 KT
WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THIS PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
A BRIEF SURGE OVER SOUTHERN CHESAPEAKE BAY WILL LAST UNTIL ROUGHLY
THE SUN SETS TONIGHT. PREDOMINANTLY S WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT TO THE
SW AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE WATERS. NOT MUCH CAA IS EXPECTED
TO TAKE PLACE BEHIND THE FRONT...THEREFORE WINDS SHOULD SWITCH TO
THE N-NE AND REMAIN AOB 15 KT OVERNIGHT. SUNDAY IS A TRICKY FORECAST
AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND
INTENSIFIES. TIMING AND PLACEMENT WILL BE CRUCIAL AS TO WHERE THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP. AT THIS TIME...EAST WINDS OF 15-20 KT
WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE OVER SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS BY MID TO LATE
MORNING AND ADVANCE NORTHWARD WITH THE LOW. MARINERS SHOULD EXPECT
WINDS TO VEER TO THE SE...INTENSIFYING TO 20-25 KT...BY THE
AFTERNOON. OVER THE BAY/SOUND/RIVERS...WAVES OF 3-4 FT WILL BE
COMMON WITH 4-5 FT LIKELY IN SOUTHERN CHES BAY DURING THE AFTERNOON.
OVER COASTAL WATERS...SEAS OF 5-7 FT WILL BE COMMON WITH SEAS OF
7-9 FT LIKELY NEAR 20 NM. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY
RAIN WILL RAPIDLY LOWER VISIBILITIES AND PRODUCE ROUGH CONDITIONS
FOR ALL MARINERS. OCEAN WATERS (ESPECIALLY OUT NEAR 20 NM) COULD
EXPERIENCE A BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS...BUT CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM'S STORM
TRACK. SCA HEADLINES ARE IN EFFECT FOR SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT...WITH SOME AREAS EXTENDED THROUGH MONDAY EVENING. PLEASE
SEE WWW.WEATHER.GOV/WAKEFIELD OR WBCMWWAKQ FOR FURTHER UPDATES.

LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTH OF THE REGION MONDAY...HOWEVER THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT AND COLD AIR ADVECTION NOSES IN BEHIND IT.
SURFACE WINDS WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY OUT OF THE WEST AND SPEEDS WILL
BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE. SCA HEADLINES WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE EXTENDED
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE OVERALL CONDITIONS IMPROVE. THE REGION
WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT...KEEPING COOL AND SOMEWHAT UNSETTLE CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE AREA. A WEAK FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND MAY
PRODUCE A BRIEF SOUTHERLY SURGE.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL DEPARTURES XPCD TO RISE ABT 0.5 FT ABV NRML (ESP NRN OCN
WTRS...AND INVOF SRN BAY-HAMPTON RDS) ON SUN AS LO PRES TRACKS NNE
ALG THE CST...AS WELL AS N WNDS INCRS. HOWEVER...THE FAST MOVING
