LOCATIONS ALONG AND WEST OF THE ALLEGHENY HIGHLANDS...MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED DUE TO AN UPSLOPE FLOW BUT
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL ALSO BE LIGHT. STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL
OCCUR BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT...BRINGING IN COLDER AIR AND KEEPING
THE ATMOSPHERE MIXED FOR BLUSTERY CONDITIONS. NAM-20 NEAR SURFACE
WINDS INCREASE TO 25 KTS FROM THE SOUTHWEST BY 4 PM TODAY. THEY
VEER TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST AND REMAIN NEAR 30 KTS WELL INTO THE
LATE EVENING.
THE WEST WINDS WILL ALSO PROMOTE UPSLOPE PRECIPITATION ON THE
WESTERN SLOPES LATE THIS EVENING. ANY RAIN/SNOW SHOWER MIX EARLY IN
THE EVENING MAY CHANGE TO ALL SNOW LATER IN THE NIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND SATURDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL BE OFFSHORE THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST BY EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING. UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING. LIMITED MOISTURE AND NOT MUCH LIFT IN THE SNOW GROWTH
ZONE EXPECTED...SO SNOWFALL TOTALS REMAIN BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA AT

NEVER MAKE IT OUT OF THE 30S FOR THE DAY.

WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS AROUND 15
KNOTS. A COLD FRONT WILL USHER IN GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS BEGINNING

NAM AND GFS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS DIFFER ON GUST POTENTIAL FOR SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE GFS DOES HAVE GALE GUST
POTENTIAL FOR MUCH OF THE WATERS...WHILE THE NAM HAS STRONG SCA
GUSTS. IN NW FLOW...DO THINK THE SOUTHERN CHESAPEAKE ZONES WILL HAVE
THE BEST CHANCES AT RECEIVING GALE GUSTS...SO HAVE ISSUED A GALE
WARNING FOR THESE AREAS. IF NAM GUSTS DO COME UP WITH THE NEXT FEW
MODEL RUNS...MAY HAVE TO EXTEND THE GALE WARNING NORTHWARD.

ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS EAST OF THE ALLEGHENY FRONT AND FUEL
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN LOW. THE COMBINATION OF GUSTY WINDS...LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND LOW FUEL MOISTURE WILL ENHANCE THE THREAT
FOR THE SPREAD OF WILDFIRES SATURDAY.

PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED BY TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
