TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND WILL SETTLE
ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW THAT THE COLD FRONT IS NOW DRAPED
ACROSS THE CWA FROM ROUGHLY WALLOPS ISLAND TO DANVILLE VA. A
WIDESPREAD CU FIELD HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS ALL AREAS...EXCEPT
NORTHEAST NC WHERE A SUBTROPICAL AIRMASS IS STREAMING UP FROM THE
CAROLINAS AND IS RESULTING IN THICKER CLOUD COVER. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES IN N/NW COUNTIES WILL BE VERY LOW FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS
NW WINDS AND DRIER AIR (DEWPOINTS 60-65F) ARE MOVING INTO THE

FROM THE MID 60S TO MID 70S AND THE CU FIELD IS SHOWING SIGNS OF
VERTICAL ENHANCEMENT AS PEAK DAYTIME HEATING IS REACHED. IN
ADDITION...THE COLD FRONT WILL INTERACT WITH AMPLE MOISTURE FROM THE
SUBTROPICAL AIRMASS AS WELL AS WITH THE RRQ OF AN UPPER LEVEL JET
STREAK TO ENHANCE FORCING AND THUS THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING. WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGHEST POPS FOR
MAINLY THE SRN 1/2 OF THE CWA (30-40 PERCENT POPS REST OF THIS
AFTN...RAMPING UP TO 60 PERCENT IN NE NC/FAR SE VA THIS EVENING).
PWATS RANGING FROM 1.50-2.00 INCHES AND LIGHT LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL
HELP TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS PRECIP DEVELOPS. SOME
GUSTY WINDS MAY BE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST STORMS ALONG THE FRONT
AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND IT. EXPECT PRECIP TO TAPER OFF FROM N
TO S TONIGHT WITH SOME LINGERING POPS IN NE NC THROUGH DAYBREAK
WEDNESDAY MORNING. LOWS TONIGHT IN THE MID 60S NORTH TO LOWER 70S
SOUTH.

&&

BUILD INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES FROM THE NORTHWEST. HIGH TEMPS
WED IN THE L/M80S. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE REGION LATER
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRI...RESULTING IN MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES
THROUGH THIS TIME. EXPECT COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS FOR THURSDAY MORNING

UPR RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE PRESENT OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC
