AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
430 AM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK MAINTAINING HOT TEMPERATURES. AN ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW
PATTERN ALOFT ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND MID ATLANTIC WILL BRING
THE POSSIBILITY OF LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LATEST UPPER AIR ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO SHOW STRONG H5 TROUGH OVER
QUEBEC INTO ATLANTIC CANADA, WITH STRONG SFC RIDGING NOW BECOMING
A BIT MORE SUPPRESSED, AS IT EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN OLD MEXICO
OVER TO THE SOUTHEAST US COAST.
WILD NIGHT WXWISE OVER MUCH OF AKQ CWA (SEE LSRAKQ FOR DETAILS).
ONCE AGAIN, ASIDE FROM HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE DONE, CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX WHICH ROLLED ACROSS THE AREA EARLIER TNGT DROPPED
TEMPERATURES A BIT FARTHER DOWN THAN EXPECTED THIS
MORNING...MAINLY INTO THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 ACROSS THE AREA.
EXPECT HEAT TO BE TURNED BACK UP A BIT TODAY AS DOWNSLOPE (WEST)
COMPONENT TO THE WIND RETURNS. DEWPOINTS SHOULD STILL MIX DOWN
INTO THE 60S DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS INLAND...SO EXCESSIVE HEAT
IS NOT EXPECTED. HOWEVER...A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN HOISTED ALONG
AND SOUTH OF RIC METRO AND INCLUDES SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA
EXCEPT FOR IMMEDIATE COASTAL VB/OUTER BANKS CURRITUCK. OVER THIS
AREA, EXPECT THE FLOW MAY BE WEAK ENOUGH THAT THE SEABREEZE COULD
DOMINATE ALONG THE COAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND WL LKLY KEEP
COASTAL LOCATIONS BELOW HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. FOR HIGHS, LOOK
FOR MAXIMA TO RISE WELL INTO THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100.
AGAIN...EXPECT A ROUND OF CONVECTION TO FORM ALONG AND EAST OF LEE
TROUGH LATE THIS AFTN, ROLLING E-SE OVER THE AREA INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. HIGH CAPE AND LOWER SHEAR FROM PREVIOUS DAYS WILL RESULT IN
STORM MODE BEING A BIT MORE PULSE IN NATURE. ONCE AGAIN
THOUGH...IF THUNDERSTORMS DO DEVELOP THEY WOULD BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
RIDGE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN THROUGH THE PERIOD, WITH HEIGHTS AND
THICKNESSES ACCORDINGLY TO FALL SLIGHTLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN QUITE WARM BUT WILL BE DROP OFF MODESTLY
EACH DAY. MAXIMA FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE LOW 90S NE...TO UPPER
90S SW. LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
EACH DAY. OVERNIGHT/MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE 70S.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOOKS LIKE A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN FOR THE REGION FROM THE JULY
4TH HOLIDAY THROUGH THE START OF NEXT WEEKEND. A BAGGY UPPER TROUGH
WILL RESIDE OVER THE REGION THRU THURSDAY WITH MAINLY AFTN/EVE TSTM
CHANCES. MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS AT AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDING EASTWARD
FROM THE OHIO VALLEY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SUBSIDENCE ALOFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUILDING RIDGE MAY LIMIT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...SO WILL DOWNPLAY TSTM CHANCES THEN. MAX TEMPS
WILL BE IN THE LOW/MID 90S THRU THE PERIOD WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS
BETWEEN 70-75 DEGREES.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NE NC AND EXTREME SE VA FOR THE
NEXT FEW HOURS BEFORE PUSHING OFFSHORE. MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS WITH
DECKS AOA 8K FT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY MORNING BEFORE SLOWING
CLEARING AND LIFTING MID MORNING. DUE TO RECENT RAINFALL AND CALM
WINDS...COULD SEE A FEW AREAS OF FOG DEVELOP WITH MVFR...AND
LOCALIZED IFR...CONDITIONS THIS MORNING. SFC WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE
LESS THAN 10 KTS. THEREAFTER...EXPECT SCT TO LOCALLY BKN MID LEVEL
CLOUDS AOA 8K FT TODAY WITH NWLY SFC WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 10
KTS. ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING STRONG WINDS.
OUTLOOK...PERSISTENT HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MID
ATL STATES RESULTING IN GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS AND VFR CONDITIONS.
A COLD FRONT TO THE NORTH...HOT AND HUMID DAYTIME CONDITIONS AND
A LEE SIDE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SLIGHT CHANCE TO
CHANCE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK.
&&
.MARINE...
CURRENT CONDITIONS HAVE CALMED ACROSS THE BAY AND ATL AS SWLY TO WLY
WINDS HAVE SLOWED TO AROUND 10 KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO ONLY THE LOWER
TEENS. QUIET CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY TODAY AS NWLY
WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LESS THAN 10 KTS ACROSS THE WATERS. WITH THE
COMBINATION OF A HOT AND HUMID AIR MASS AND A STALLED FRONT NORTH OF
THE REGION...A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS THE REGION.
THEREAFTER...PERSISTENT HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF
THE HOLIDAY WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY BENIGN BOATING
CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT SFC WINDS AND SEAS 3 FT OR LESS...WITH WAVES 1
TO 2 FT ON THE CHES BAY. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DUE TO THE CLOSE
PROXIMITY OF A STALLED FRONT...A HOT AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND SEA
BREEZE INFLUENCES. AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
