AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
334 PM EDT WED MAY 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER THE MID ATLANTIC THROUGH THURSDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FRIDAY THROUGH THE
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND...BRINGING WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL VIRGINIA.
THEY STARTED OVER THE BLUE RIDGE AND HAVE DRIFTED WEST OF
INTERSTATE 81 FOR THE MOST PART. ANOTHER AREA OF STORMS HAS
DEVELOPED FROM WESTMINSTER TO GERMANTOWN...AND RECENTLY JUST EAST
OF LEESBURG. THE FOCUS AREA SEEMS TO BE ALONG THE SURFACE TROF AND
THIS WILL PROBABLY LIFT NORTH AND WEST THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON.
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS PROVIDING SOME DEFORMATION ALOFT AS IT
SHIFTS INTO SOUTHERN VA. THE GROUND HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY SATURATED
SO WE WILL WATCH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERSISTENT RAIN BANDS
THROUGH THE EVENING. SO FAR 88D RADAR SHOWS SOME PRETTY GOOD RAIN
RATES BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PULSING DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY. THE HEAVY
RAIN COULD CAUSE SOME QUICK PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS
THROUGH THE EVENING. WE HAVE HELD OFF ISSUING A BROAD FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AS OVERALL COVERAGE HAS BEEN SPOTTY.

THE DEFORMATION AXIS MAY REMAIN OVER THE REGION THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT...CONTINUING STEADY RAINFALL. WHERE THE RAIN ENDS LATER
TONIGHT AREAS OF FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AS DEW POINTS REMAIN IN THE
60S. THERE SHOULD BE SOME INCREASE IN STABILITY THURSDAY AS THE
UPPER LOW FILLS AND CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH. BUT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN AS THE MOISTURE IN THE
ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO BE RECYCLED FOR ANOTHER DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL BECOME LESS THURSDAY NIGHT
AS THE WEAKENING UPPER LOW/TROUGH SHIFTS NORTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA. THE GFS HOLDS ADDITIONAL ENERGY BACK TO THE WEST OVERNIGHT
INTO FRIDAY WHICH MAY AID IN ADDITIONAL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
DEVELOPMENT MAINLY OVER THE EAST INTO FRIDAY EVENING. A STRONG
UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL NOSE INTO THE FORECAST AREA
FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING RISING HEIGHTS AND
MODERATING TEMPERATURES INTO THE MIDDLE 80S FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
SLIGHTLY MILDER OVERNIGHT LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FURTHER NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO MODERATE THROUGH THE UPPER 80S AND
POSSIBLY INTO THE LOWER 90S SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THE
HEAT...WHEN COMBINED WITH ADDED MOISTURE MAY CAUSE HEAT INDICES TO
RISE INTO THE 95-100 DEGREE RANGE FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE REGION
WILL REMAIN ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AXIS.
ADDITIONAL AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND MEMORIAL DAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM
THE WEST TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
