AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
907 PM EDT TUE MAY 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER THE MID ATLANTIC THROUGH THURSDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE IS THEN EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN AND MID ATLANTIC
STATES THROUGH THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND...BRINGING MUCH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AN UPPER LOW IS TRACKING SLOWLY OVER THE SRN APPALACHIANS THIS EVE.
IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION...SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR A
SFC TROUGH. WITH VERY WEAK STEERING FLOW...THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN
CONFINED MAINLY OVER THE WRN TERRAIN AND IN CENTRAL FOOTHILLS THRU
SUNSET.

THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THE STORMS TNGT WILL BE LOCALLY HVY RAIN.
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO LAST LATE THIS EVE INTO THE OVNGT AS
STORMS PROGRESS EWD INTO AN ENVIRONMENT THAT HAS NOT BEEN WORKED
OVER. 00Z IAD RAOB THIS EVE IS SIMILAR IN SOME RESPECTS TO LAST
NGT'S SOUNDING...WEAK FLOW THRU MOST OF THE TROPOSPHERE...A DEEP
WARM/MOIST LAYER...AND A MODEST AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY. THE STALLED LLVL
BOUNDARY AND LLVL JET THAT WAS PARALLEL TO THE BOUNDARY NEAR THE
BLUE RIDGE LAST NGT WILL BE ABSENT TNGT...SO TRAINING OF CELLS ARE
NOT EXPECTED TNGT. NONETHELESS...WET ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS FROM
LAST NGT'S HVY RAINFALL HAS RESULTED IN VERY LOW FFG OVER PORTIONS
OF NRN VA AND THE FAR ERN PANHANDLE OF WV. HAVE ISSUED A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH AS LESS THAN AN INCH OF RAINFALL IN AN HR WILL BE
ENOUGH TO TRIGGER FLASH FLOODING AGAIN IN THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE
PARTS OF PRINCE WILLIAM AND LOUDOUN COUNTIES. IF THE CURRENT LINE
OF CONVECTION OVER WRN MD PERSISTS...THE HIGHEST RISK FOR FLASH
FLOODING IN THE WATCH BOX WILL BE BETWEEN 11 PM AND 3 AM.

CONVECTION SHOULD WANE LATE TNGT AND ERY WED MRNG. HAVE ADJUSTED
POP/WX GRIDS ACCORDINGLY. WITH LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING LATE
TNGT...MIN TEMPS WILL BE MILD...RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S IN THE
HIGHLANDS TO MID 60S ALONG AND EAST OF I-95. PATCHY FOG EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP ERY WED MRNG. FOG MAY BECOME LOCALLY DENSE IN A FEW
PLACES WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE IF BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS PERSIST.
THE EXTENT OF CLOUD BREAKS IS STILL UNCERTAIN ATTM.

ON WEDNESDAY...EXPECT A NEAR REPEAT PERFORMANCE WITH A LINGERING
TROUGH IN PLACE AND MOIST LOW LEVELS. INITIATION MAY BE SLIGHTLY
EARLIER...BUT LIKE TODAY THE HIGHEST COVERAGE WILL FAVOR AFTERNOON
AND EVENING /FOR LIKELY POPS/. AM WORRIED THERE MAY ALSO BE A MORE
WIDESPREAD RISK FOR HEAVY RAINFALL/FLASH FLOODING AND A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH COULD BECOME NECESSARY.

FOR TEMPERATURES FAVORED THE COOLER MET MOS ON WEDNESDAY GIVEN
EXPECTED CLOUDS AND SHOWERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE UPPER LOW OVER THE MID ATLANTIC IS PROGGED TO FILL AND DRIFT
NORTHEAST WED NIGHT THROUGH THUR NIGHT PER LATEST GFS/ECMWF
GUIDANCE. REMNANT COOL AIR ALOFT WILL STILL BE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH
FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN THUNDERSTORMS...DYING OUT WEDNESDAY
EVENING...THEN FIRING AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON. PWATS OF 1.2 TO 1.5
INCHES...SBCAPE 1500 TO 2000 J/KG...AND MINIMAL BULK SHEAR SUGGEST
SLOW MOVING GARDEN VARIETY THUNDERSTORMS. ANY FLOODING CONCERN WILL
DEPEND ON COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF WEDNESDAY ACTIVITY...BUT LOOKS TO BE
QUITE ISOLATED AT BEST FOR THURSDAY. WITH SELY FLOW EXPECT
TEMPERATURES ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...MINS IN THE LOW TO MID
60S AND MAX TEMPS THURSDAY IN THE LOW TO MID 80S /DEPENDENT ON CLOUD
AND PRECIP COVERAGE/.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A RIDGE BUILDS FROM THE SERN US...EXPANDING INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
/PER GFS/ECMWF GUIDANCE/ FRIDAY CONTINUING THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY.
THIS WILL ENABLE A STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION WITH NEAR RECORD
TEMPERATURES INTO THE REGION BY SATURDAY. STAYED CLOSE TO HPC
GUIDANCE WHICH CAME IN WARMER...MAX TEMPS LOW TO MID 90S SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. A TROUGH CROSSES THE GREAT LAKES/ST LAWRENCE VALLEY
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WHICH SHOULD CAUSE ACTIVE WEATHER IN PA.
GUIDANCE KEEPS THIS NORTH OF THE MASON-DIXON FOR NOW...AND THE
STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE /590DAM AT 500MB/ SHOULD KEEP AT LEAST MOST OF
THE LWX CWA ON THE WARM SIDE. DEWPOINTS CURRENTLY PROGGED TO BE MORE
MID/UPR 60S WHICH WOULD PRODUCE HEAT INDICES ONLY A FEW DEGREES
ABOVE THE MAX TEMP /THUS MID TO UPR 90S HEAT INDICES EXPECTED/.
BOOSTED WORDING IN THE HWO FOR HEAT...PARTICULARLY CONSIDERING THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHRA WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT CHO DURING THE MID EVE...WHICH MAY
LEAD TO MVFR CIGS/VSBYS THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE EVE. WITH THE
LATEST TAFS...DELAYED ONSET OF TSRA AT MRB/IAD AS CONVECTION
ALONG A SFC TROUGH IS MOVING SEWD SLOWLY. VIS/CIG RESTRICTIONS
POSSIBLE DURING STORMS BETWEEN 03Z-06Z. CONVECTION MORE LIKELY TO
WEAKEN AS IT MOVES FARTHER EWD TOWARD DCA/BWI/MTN LATE TNGT.

WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING...EXPECT STRATUS AND PERHAPS
ALSO FOG TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. PERIOD OF IFR IS EXPECTED EARLY TO
DEVELOP DURING THE PRE-DAWN HRS WED MRNG BEFORE IMPROVING MID
MORNING. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN
BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. COVERAGE OF STORMS MAY BE HIGHEST NEAR CHO.

DIURNAL THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY EVENING...THEN AGAIN THURSDAY.
ISOLATED IFR IN HEAVIEST RAINFALL. FOG POSSIBLE LATE NIGHTS SHOULD
CLEARING OCCUR...PARTICULARLY AT AREAS WITH SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL.
SELY FLOW THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. HOT HIGH PRESSURE THIS
WEEKEND WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS AT MOST.

&&

.MARINE...
FAIRLY WEAK WIND REGIME IN PLACE OVER THE WATERS...WITH AN
EAST/SOUTHEAST WIND GENERALLY 10 KT OR LESS THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
STORMS CURRENTLY OVER WRN MD THIS EVE ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS IT
APPROACHES THE WATERS LATE TNGT. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISO
LIGHTNING STRIKE OVNGT.

THUNDERSTORMS MAY AFFECT THE WATERS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.

SELY FLOW 10 TO 15 KT WEDNESDAY NIGHT...INCREASING TO AROUND 20 KT
THURSDAY...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS EXPECTED...PROBABLY LESS THEN
FRIDAY /NO SCA EXPECTED/. FLOW BECOMES SWLY THEN THIS WEEKEND...WITH
SUB SCA HEADLINE FLOW.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
HIGH TIDE THIS EVENING HAS REMAINED BELOW MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
THRESHOLDS ALONG THE WRN SHORE...AND WILL REMAIN BELOW THRESHOLD
FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC RVR LATE THIS EVE.

POSITIVE TIDAL ANOMALIES HAVE DECREASED A BIT THIS EVE TO AROUND
1/2 FT ABOVE NORMAL. ANOMALIES OF THIS MAGNITUDE ARE NOT EXPECTED
TO PRODUCE COASTAL FLOODING FOR THE WED MRNG HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
HOWEVER...IT WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH THAT TIDES WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED
CLOSELY AT SENSITIVE LOCATIONS SUCH AS ANNAPOLIS AND ALEXANDRIA.

A MINOR COASTAL FLOOD THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS WEEKEND AS
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY...SLOWLY BECOMING SLY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&
