AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
1004 AM EDT SUN OCT 28 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE SANDY WAS LOCATED 500 MILES SOUTHEAST OF WASHINGTON
D.C. THIS MORNING. THE STORM IS FORECAST TO TRACK TO A POSITION
OFF THE VIRGINIA CAPES EARLY MONDAY MORNING...BEFORE TURNING
NORTHWEST AND MOVING TOWARD THE THE JERSEY SHORE EARLY TUESDAY.
THE STORM WILL THEN TRACK WEST INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS STORM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO
THE REGION TODAY THROUGH THROUGH LATE TUESDAY. THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL THEN PERSIST OVER THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC STATES
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE
REGION LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SANDY WAS LOCATED WELL OFF THE CAROLINA COAST THIS
MORNING...ROUGHLY 500 MILES SOUTHEAST OF WASHINGTON D.C. CONTINUE
TO REFER TO THE NHC ADVISORIES FOR THE LATEST POSITION/TRACK OF
SANDY.

EXPECTATION IS FOR SANDY TO CONTINUE MOVING NORTH THROUGH THE DAY.
WINDS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO INCREASE ACROSS THE CWA THIS
MORNING...AND EXPECT OCCASIONAL 25 TO 30 MPH GUSTS INTO THE
AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA.

AREA OF CONVERGENCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT A NEARLY STATIONARY AREA
OF RAIN FROM THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND DOWN INTO SOUTHEAST
VIRGINIA. LATER THIS AFTERNOON...THE EXPECTATION IS FOR THIS BAND
TO SHIFT TO THE WEST AND FOR ADDITIONAL LIGHT RAIN TO ALSO
DEVELOP TO THE WEST. POPS/WX REFLECT THIS TREND.

TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE MUCH...AND WILL LIKELY
REMAIN NEARLY STEADY THROUGH THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
CONSENSUS IS NOW FOR SANDY TO CONTINUE NORTH PAST CAPE HATTERAS
TONIGHT REACHING THE VA CAPES BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. WINDS SHIFT NORTH/
NORTH-NORTHWEST WITH GUSTS PERSISTING 30 TO 35 MPH TONIGHT. COOLER AIR
SPILLS IN WITH THE NLY FLOW TONIGHT...MIN TEMPS MID TO UPR 30S IN
THE ALLEGHENY HIGHLANDS..LOW TO MID 40S WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...MID TO UPR 40S EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ALTHO SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES EXIST ON THE ARRIVAL TIME/LOCATION OF
SANDY MOVG ONTO LAND...MDLS ARE COMING INTO A GNRL CONSENSUS THAT
IT WL BE ACROSS SRN NJ/DE BAY EARLY TUE MRNG.

THERE ARE MANY CONCERNS WITH THIS STORM...BUT BLV FLDG IS THE
BIGGEST CONCERN. HEAVY RAFL WILL MOVE INLAND W/ THE REMNANTS OF
SANDY. ONE OF MY SAYINGS IS "RAFL FM TROPICAL SYSTEMS IS VERY
DIFFERENT FM NRNL LOW PRES AREAS" AND THIS HAS THE PTNL TO CAUSE
MAJOR PROBS IN THE MID ATLC MON AND THRU MUCH OF THE WK AHD.
ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR LOOK FOR AMOUNTS 5 TO 8
INCHES...3 TO 6 INCHES WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR...BOTH WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. FRESHWATER FLOODING WILL BE THE RESULT.
RIVERS WILL BE MONITORED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK DEPENDING ON WHERE
THE HEAVIEST RAINS FALL.

HIGH WINDS WILL BE ANOTHER BIG ISSUE...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS RANGING
FROM 30 TO AS HIGH AS 45 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH. WHERE MAX WINDS
OCCUR DEPENDS UPON THE STORM TRACK AND HOW THE TRANSITION TO AN
EXTRATROPICAL STORM OCCURS. GFS BUFKIT SHOWS WINDS AT BWI NW AT
100 KTS AT FL 040 AT 2 AM TUE. THE COMBO OF HVY RAINS AND HIGH
WINDS ARE A DANGEROUS COMBINATION REGARDING DOWNED TREES/POWER
LNS. ONLY SILVER LINING IS THAT LEAVES ARE EITHER DOWN OR WL BE
COMING DOWN PSBLY LESSENING TREE DAMAGE.

THERE IS SNOW PTNL TUE AND WED FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ALONG THE
ALLEGANY FRONT ACROSS WESTERN MARYLAND...THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS OF
THE EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA PANHANDLE AND HIGHLAND COUNTY. I STILL
HAVE DOUBTS ON HOW COLD IT WILL GET WITH THIS SYSTEM...AS WARMER
AIR WILL ACTUALLY WRAP AROUND THE NORTH AND WESTERN EDGE OF THE
VORTEX AROUND SANDY.

A KEY PARAMETER IN QSTNBL P-TYPE EVENTS I LOOK AT IS THE GFS
850-1000 THCKNS - SUB 1300 M IS WHAT IS GNRLY NEEDED IN ORDER FOR
ENUF COLD AIR TO BE IN PLACE TO ALLOW PCPN TO CHG TO SNOW. THRU
12Z WED THOSE VALUES ARE ABV 1300 IN THE HIGHLANDS. I CALLED HPC
SNOW DESK TO GET THEIR THOUGHTS - HE SAID 2000 FT AND ABV WAS THE
ELEVATION OF CONCERN. GIVEN THAT ELEVATION WOULD HV TO BE THE KEY
COMPONENT IF SNOW WERE TO FALL - FAR WRN MINERAL/GRANT/PENDLETON/HIGHLAND
WOULD BE THE PLACES TO KEEP OUR EYES ON. WINTER STORM WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS.

HIGH PRES TO FINALLY RETURN DURG THE 2ND HALF OF THE WK.

.AVIATION /13Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NORTHEAST WINDS ARE BEGINNING TO INCREASE THIS MORNING

AN ONSET OF MVFR CONDITIONS.

HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON AVIATION. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY RAINFALL. WIND GUSTS INCREASE TO 30
TO 35 KT OVERNIGHT AND THEN 40-50 KT ON MONDAY. DEPENDING ON JUST
HOW FAST SANDY MOVES AWAY FROM THE REGION...CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE ON WED.
