AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
1004 PM EST TUE DEC 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT AS
STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE GULF STATES. THE LOW WILL TRACK
UP THE CHESAPEAKE BAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN
FOR LATE IN THE WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IMPACTS THE MID
ATLANTIC THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
JUST A FEW HRS AWAY FROM THE ONSET OF PRECIP FROM THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM...WHICH IS ALREADY IN FULL SWING OVER THE SOUTHEAST AND
LOWER/MID MS VLY. THIS EXPANSIVE STORM'S PARENT LOW CONTINUES TO
PRODUCE WINTRY WX ACROSS THE OZARKS...WHILE SEVERE STORMS AND EVEN
LATE DECEMBER TORNADOES HAVE BEEN IMPACTING THE PORTIONS OF GULF
COAST STATES.

THESE FEW HRS LEADING UP TO THE ONSET OF PRECIP WILL BE KEY IN THE
TYPE OF PRECIP THAT FALLS ACROSS THE AREA - AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST
FEW HRS OF THE EVENT. DEWPOINTS HOVERING IN THE L30S WILL CONTINUE
TO DROP DOWN INTO THE M-U20S...FROM A LIGHT BUT STEADY NLY WIND
BRINGING DRIER AIR TO THE SOUTH. DRYING AND COOLING THE LOWER
ATMOSPHERE WILL ALLOW FOR BETTER CHANCES FOR FROZEN PRECIP AS THE
FIRST WAVES OF PRECIP ARRIVE.

ALSO IN THESE NEXT FEW HRS...THE STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO
STRENGTHEN AND APPROACH PEAK INTENSITY AS THE SYSTEM STARTS TO
BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED. THIS WILL HELP TO COMPACT A GOOD BULK
OF THE PRECIP CLOSER TO THE LOW - WHICH IS CURRENTLY WELL SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE PARENT UPPER LOW. THIS PROCESS WILL BEGIN TO TRACK
HEAVIER AMOUNTS OF PRECIP UP THE LEE SIDE OF THE SRN APLCNS AND
EVENTUALLY UP THE BLUE RIDGE TOWARD OUR REGION INTO THE PREDAWN
HRS.

PREDAWN HOURS WEDNESDAY...
NO CHANGES TO THE CURRENT HEADLINES W/ THE MAIN IDEA BEHIND THIS
WINTRY SET-UP: WARNING CRITERIA SNOWS ALONG THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS
OF THE APLCNS...A MIX OF SNOW-SLEET-FZRA FROM THE MTNS TO THE I-95
CORRIDOR BUT LOW ACCUMULATING SNOW WELL WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR.
SNOW-SLEET REGIME WILL START THE EVENT...THEN START CHANGING TO
RAIN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVER THE COURSE OF THE MRNG-AFTN.

FZRA AND ANY POTENTIAL ICE ACCUMULATION EXPECTED BETWEEN THE
APLCNS AND THE BLUE RIDGE...A BULK OF THE SHENANDOAH VLY. MINOR
ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS MRNG-AFTN AND
POTENTIALLY INTO THE EVE IF ANY PRECIP IS LEFT OVER IN THESE AREAS
LATE TONIGHT. WITH A FEW CHANGEOVER PHASES OF PRECIP OF THE COURSE
OF THE EVENT FOR MOST OF THE AREA...ACCUMULATION OF ANY ONE PTYPE
WILL BE DIFFICULT IN TERMS OF A MAXIMUM AMOUNT. EVEN W/ A COUPLE-
FEW HRS OF SNOW-SLEET TO START...A CHANGEOVER TO RAIN WILL MELT
MOST OF THE ACCUMULATED SNOW. SAME ISSUE W/ FZRA ACCUMULATION AS
THE TEMP RISES TOWARD THE LATE AFTN AND SFC CONDITIONS REACH JUST
ABOVE FREEZING. THE ONE MAIN EXCEPTION WILL LIKELY BE THE AREAS
UNDER THE WINTER STORM WARNING W/ SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW EXPECTED
ACROSS THE HIGHER CNTRL APLCNS AND LITTLE-IF ANY CHANGEOVER TO
ANOTHER PRECIP-TYPE.

REGARDLESS OF THE TOTAL ACCUMULATION OF SNOW-SLEET-ICE...THE
IMPACTS OF A MULTI-HR PERIOD OF WINTRY PRECIP WILL LIKELY RESULT
IN ADVERSE DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE MRNG RUSH HR...AND
REMAIN TRICKY ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WEST OF I-95 TIER OF
COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE BEST CHANCES FOR WINTRY PRECIP
OVER MOST OF THE METRO DC/BALT AREAS WILL BE AT THE START OF
EVENT...THEN CHANGING OVER TO RAIN BY MID-LATE MRNG AND REMAIN ALL
LIQUID AS TEMPS SLOWLY BUT STEADILY CLIMB INTO THE L-M40S. EVEN A
FEW ISOLATED TSTMS MAY SKIRT LOWER SRN MD BY THE LATE AFTN/EVE
HRS.

THE OTHER IMPACT FROM THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL BE FROM THE RAIN
ITSELF...PARTICULARLY OVER THE I-95 CORRIDOR W/ A TOTAL OF 1-1.5
INCHES OF QPF OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY. ISOLATED FLOODING COULD
RESULT IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE LOCALLY HIGHER AMNTS...ESPECIALLY IN
URBAN AREAS AND CLOSER TO THE WRN SHORE OF THE BAY - WHERE THE
HIGHEST QPF IS EXPECTED. WILL MONITOR THE FLOODING POTENTIAL FOR
ANY POSSIBLE FLOOD WATCH ACROSS THE ERN TIER COUNTIES OF THE CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NLY FLOW ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE MAINTAIN THE WEDGE OF
COLD AIR NEAR THE SFC. THE QUESTION IS HOW LONG WILL THE COLD AIR
HOLD IN THE LOWEST FEW THOUSAND FT...WHICH WILL DETERMINE WHETHER
THE PREDOMINANT PTYPE WED NGT WILL REMAIN SNOW/SLEET NEAR THE
ALLEGHENY FRONT...FREEZING RAIN IN THE SHENANDOAH VLY AND BLUE
RIDGE...OR CHANGE OVER TO JUST PLAIN RAIN. CURRENT THINKING IS A
NLY WIND MAY HOLD ON TO THE COLDER AIR INTO THE EVE ON THE NWRN
SIDE OF THE LOW DUE TO STRONG LLVL AGEOSTROPHIC FLOW AND
ISALLOBARIC RESPONSE TO PRESSURE FALLS AS THE SECONDARY LOW MOVES
TOWARD THE CHSPK BAY. HOWEVER...CAA WILL BE OFFSET BY WRMG FROM
LATENT HEAT RELEASE VIA FREEZING. WITH SFC TEMPS/DEWPTS LIKELY TO
BE NEAR FREEZING...THERE IS A QUESTION OF HOW MUCH OF THE
PRECIP WILL TRANSLATE TO ICE ACCRETION. THE SLIGHTLY COOLER RIDGE
TOPS SUCH AS SKYLINE DRIVE WILL LIKELY SEE THE HIGHEST ICE
ACCRETION WED NGT WITH AN ADDITIONAL TENTH OF AN INCH OR SO
EXPECTED.

EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...PTYPE WED NGT WILL REMAIN RAIN. 12Z NAM
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW 500 J/KG OF ELEVATED CAPE WED EVE AT NHK
WHEN THE WARM SECTOR REACHES SRN MD. THE 12Z GFS SHOW A MUCH MORE
STABLE PROFILE THOUGH. GIVEN THE TRACK OF THE LOW...SEEMS
PLAUSIBLE TO MENTION SLGT CHANCE OF TSTMS EAST OF I-95.

ONCE THE LOW PULLS N/E OF THE AREA ERY THU MRNG...COLDER AIR ALOFT
WILL CHANGE WRAPAROUND PRECIP BACK OVER TO A SN/IP MIX IN THE MTS
AND NEAR THE MASON-DIXON LINE. PRECIP SHOULD END FROM SW TO NE
ACROSS THE CWA BETWEEN 06Z-12Z THU...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF UPSLOPE
SNOW SHOWERS. AN ADDITIONAL LGT ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE
WRN HIGHLANDS DURING THE DAY THU...BEFORE ENDING LATE THU NGT.

STEADY PRESSURE RISES WILL OCCUR IN WAKE OF THE STORM. BREEZY NW
WINDS SUSTAINED BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH. 12Z NAM/GFS MODEL GUIDANCE
SHOWING WINDS IN THE MIXING LAYER BELOW 40 KT...SO NOT THINKING
ADVISORY LVL WIND GUSTS ATTM.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WINDS WILL RELAX AS HIPRES BUILDS IN FROM THE OH VLY THU NGT AND
FRI. DRY CONDITIONS AND SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURE ARE EXPECTED TO
END THE WORK WEEK.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT WILL MOVE EAST. CLOUDS
SHOULD THICKEN LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM
SYSTEM. THIS STORM WILL MOVE FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY INTO THE
EASTERN OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE
POSSIBLY TRANSFERING THE BULK OF ITS ENERGY TO THE COASTAL WATERS OF
SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS IS YET ANOTHER POTENTIAL
FOR A WINTRY MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN ACROSS THE CWA GIVEN THE FORECAST
TRACK FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL
REMAINS AS TO THE STRENGTH AND THE TRACK OF THE STORM...
HOWEVER...SOME WINTRY PRECIPITATION IS ANTICIPATED TO AFFECT THE
REGION ON SATURDAY. AS OF NOW...MOST OF ANY GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORM AS IT DEPARTS TO THE NORTHEAST
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE DEPARTING STORM AND THE
DEVELOPING HIGH WILL ALSO ADD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY RAIN OR
SNOW SHOWERS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE
CWA...MAINLY SATURDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE
DOMINANT FEATURE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...A WEAK DISTURBANCE COULD
SPREAD CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA OR PERHAPS A RAIN OR SNOW SHOWER ON
MONDAY. ONCE THIS DISTURBANCE DEPARTS EAST...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BECOME REINFORCED IN THE CWA FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE OVERNIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY.
CIGS/VSBYS WILL REMAIN VFR FOR MOST OF THE TERMINAL SITES
OVERNIGHT...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CHO. IFR/LIFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE
POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY TOMORROW AS WIDESPREAD RAIN AND A WINTRY MIX
AFFECT THE TERMINAL SITES.

A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW/SLEET AT PRECIP ONSET IS POSSIBLE AT
BWI/DCA/IAD/CHO IS POSSIBLE...BUT A TRANSITION TO ALL RAIN IS
EXPECTED BY THE LATE MORNING. FOR KMRB MORE OF A WINTRY MIX IS
POSSIBLE. ACCUMULATING SNOW/SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN IS LIKELY.

IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WED NGT AS LOPRES TRACKS UP THE CHSPK
BAY. WITH TEMPS HOVERING AROUND 32F AT MRB WED NGT...PTYPE MAY BE RA
OR ZR...WITH ONLY A SMALL CHANGE IN TEMP MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE AT
THE AIRPORT. PTYPE WED NGT WILL BE RA AT ALL TERMINALS. STRONG ELY
JET /50-60 KT/ 2 KFT ABOVE THE SFC WILL PRODUCE LLWS CONDITIONS.

GUSTY NW WINDS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINALS THU. WIND GUSTS TO 35 KT
WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY.

VFR CONDITIONS MOST OF FRIDAY NIGHT DESPITE CIGS LOWERING SOME AS
CLOUDS FILTER INTO THE CWA. ONCE ANY WINTRY PRECIPITATION MOVES INTO
THE CWA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...IFR CONDITIONS COULD UNFOLD.
CIGS AND VISBIS COULD LOWER EVENMORE TO AT LEAST 10K FEET AND 3SM,
RESPECTIVELY. VFR CONDITIONS RETURN SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
DESPITE WINDS BECOMING GUSTY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING STORM
SYSTEM. ONCE WINDS DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
CONTINUE WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE CWA. A PASSING
DISTURBANCE ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY COULD BRING A BRIEF INCREASE
IN NORTHWEST WIND AND CIGS TO AROUND 10K TO 15K FEET BUT VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXIST.

&&

.MARINE...
ADDED THE LOWER HALF OF THE MD BAY AND TP INLET TO THE SCA FOR THE
OVERNIGHT HRS. THIS SECTION OF THE LOWER BAY WILL RECEIVE AN
ENHANCED ELY FLOW OVERNIGHT...WHEREAS MOST AREAS WILL STILL SEE
LIGHT WINDS UNTIL CLOSER TO DAWN. WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE
DAY TOMORROW AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC.
GUSTS CLOSE TO 30 KT WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS THE MID BAY.

LOPRES WILL TRACK UP THE CHSPK BAY WED NGT. GUSTY ELY WINDS AHEAD OF
LOW WED EVE WILL QUICKLY VEER...BECOMING SLY AND THEN WLY OVNGT AND
ERY THU MRNG. SCA IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF THE WATERS.

AS THE LOW DEPARTS ON THU...LAPSE RATES STEEPEN AND HIGHER WIND
GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KT COULD MIX DOWN TO THE SFC. A GALE WRNG
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ON THU. SCA WILL BE NEEDED THU NGT AND
POSSIBLE FRI FOR PORTIONS OF THE WATERS.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS
GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS DEVELOP ON THE BACKSIDE OF A DEPARTING
STORM SYSTEM. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED TUESDAY WITH A
PASSING DISTURBANCE AS WINDS INCREASE SOME FROM THE NORTHWEST.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AN ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES THROUGH THE
WATERS WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE AT HIGH TIDE WED...AND MAY CONTINUE THRU THE NGT. WILL NEED
TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE FLOODING AT THE MOST SENSITIVE
LOCATIONS /I.E. NEAR ANNAPOLIS/ WED NGT.
