AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
201 PM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN DURING THE MID TO LATE
PORTION OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER SYSTEM COULD BRING INCLEMENT WEATHER
OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT - THROUGH 8 PM...IN ADDITION TO THE
TORNADO WATCH STILL IN EFFECT - THROUGH 7 PM. THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THE SAME AREAS AS THE TORNADO WATCH...THE
SHENANDOAH VLY AND EASTWARD.

FROM PREV DISC...
INTENSE LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPING OVER THE AREA...DRIVING STRONG
LOW LEVEL FLOW - CREATING LINE SEGMENTS OF SHOWER ACTIVITY W/
LOCALLY STRONG-TO-DAMAGING WINDS. INSTABILITY IS FAIRLY
WEAK...WHICH IS KEEPING MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY AS HEAVY SHOWERS W/
NO LIGHTNING AS OF YET. SOME PERIODIC BREAKS OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS
WILL CHANGE THAT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA.

CURRENTLY...A FEW LINE SEGMENTS GATHERING THEMSELVES OVER THE NRN
SHENANDOAH VLY AND SLIDING NEWD. LOCALIZED DOWNBURST WINDS
EXPECTED IN THE MORE BOWED-OUT ACTIVITY. A GENERAL 25-35MPH BREEZE
OUT OF THE SOUTH HAS DEVELOPED OUT AHEAD OF THIS ACTIVITY AND
SPREAD OVER MUCH OF THE PIEDMONT. THESE ARE ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS
AND THESE WINDS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES THRU LATER
TODAY.

COASTAL FLOOD WATCH CONVERTED TO A CF WARNING FOR ANNE AR-SRN
BALT- HARFORD CO'S FOR THE LATE NIGHT H.T. CYCLE. STRONG GUSTY
WINDS - GALE FORCE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS - WILL DEVELOP WATER
LEVELS AROUND 2 FT ABOVE NORMAL LEADING TO MODERATE CF AT HIGH
TIDE. SEE WBCCFWLWX FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE
SHOWING A QLCS LINE DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND MOVING
EAST ACROSS THE CWFA. DO THINK THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE QLCS LINE. A COUPLE OF THINGS TO
NOTE...THERE IS NOT MUCH FORCING IN THE MID LEVELS AND THE 500MB
TROUGH REMAINS NEUTRAL. HOWEVER...WITH MUCH OF THE CWFA EAST OF THE
SHENANDOAH VALLEY IN THE WARM SECTOR...SB CAPE IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE TO BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 J/KG. IN ADDITION...HODOGRAPHS
SHOW A GOOD POSSIBILITY OF ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS.

FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE
SHENANDOAH VALLEY...THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME
SEVERE PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. A FEW TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...WITH LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.

FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE BAY DURING THE LATE EVENING HOURS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST...WITH A GRADUAL CLEARING OF
SKIES.

GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO TIGHTEN TODAY AS LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES...AND HAVE UPPED THE WIND GUST POTENTIAL ACROSS THE LAND
A FEW KT/MPH. POPS LOOKED GOOD...AND MADE NO CHANGES PAST 12Z. TOOK
BLEND FOR TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN TO OUR WEST STRETCHING FROM THE
GREAT LAKES SOUTH INTO THE GULF COAST STATES WHILE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE APPROACHES THE AREA WEDNESDAY BEFORE BUILDING OVERHEAD
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

DESPITE A SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH...SUBSIDENCE FROM
THE SURFACE HIGH ALONG WITH LOW-LEVEL DRY AIR SHOULD KEEP MOST
CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WELL OFF TO OUR SOUTHEAST. A NORTHERLY
SURFACE FLOW AHEAD OF THE HIGH WEDNESDAY WILL ALLOW FOR MAX TEMPS TO
BE BELOW NORMAL...DESPITE SUNSHINE. MAX TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM NEAR
60 IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S ACROSS MOST OTHER
LOCATIONS.

DRY AND CHILLY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL
CAUSE RADIATIONAL COOLING. MIN TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 40S
ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS IN THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS AND SHENANDOAH
VALLEY...TO THE MIDDLE 40S IN THE SUBURBS OF
WASHINGTON/BALTIMORE...TO THE MIDDLE 50S IN DOWNTOWN
WASHINGTON/BALTIMORE.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN OVER THE AREA THURSDAY AND A RETURN FLOW
WILL DEVELOP...ALLOWING FOR MAX TEMPS TO BE CLOSER TO CLIMO. MORE
DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ALONG WITH SUNSHINE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT SHIFTS OFF THE COAST
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WHILE A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE
OHIO VALLEY. A RETURN FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR MAX TEMPS FRIDAY TO BE A
FEW DEGREES WARMER COMPARED TO THURSDAY. DRY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY
PERSIST ALONG WITH SOME SUNSHINE AS THE FRONT REMAINS TO THE
WEST.

YET ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH WILL TAKE SHAPE OVER THE GREAT LAKES BY
SATURDAY. THIS SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO DEEPEN AND SHIFT EAST TOWARD
THE FORECAST AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW
INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY NIGHT WITH CLEARING SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. STILL SOME TIMING UNCERTAINTIES IN THE MODELS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE EAST ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC.

IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT MOST OF THE TAF SITES THROUGH
DAYBREAK...AS GIGS/VSBYS REMAIN LOW IN WIDESPREAD RAINFALL. CIGS MAY
INCREASE SLIGHTLY TO MVFR VALUES WITH SUNRISE. VSBYS WILL BE REDUCED
IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL/THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING VFR CONDITIONS MOST OF THE TIME WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY. PATCHY BR/FOG MAY REDUCE VSBYS DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS EACH DAY. A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE TERMINALS
SATURDAY...BRINGING THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS TONIGHT. DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CROSS
THE WATERS AHEAD OF THE COLD FONT. SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS ARE
POSSIBLE. WATERSPOUTS ARE ALSO A POSSIBILITY.

BEHIND THE FRONT...WINDS WILL DECREASE SLIGHTLY...BUT SMALL CRAFT
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. A WIND SHIFT TO THE W/NW IS
EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE WATERS.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS WEDNESDAY BEHIND
A COLD FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE WATERS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO DIMINISH. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST FRIDAY AND A COLD FRONT WILL IMPACT THE
WATERS DURING THE WEEKEND.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ANOMALIES HAVE BEGUN TO INCREASE AS THE SOUTHERLY FLOW STRENGTHENS
EARLY THIS MORNING. A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE FOR ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY NORTHWARD
ALONG THE WESTERN SHORE OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND ALSO FOR THE
CITIES OF WASHINGTON DC...ALEXANDRIA...AND THE COUNTIES OF PRINCE
GEORGES AND FAIRFAX ALONG THE TIDAL POTOMAC RIVER.

THE AFTERNOON/NIGHTTIME HIGH TIDE WILL LIKELY BE AFFECTED BY
THESE ANOMALIES. MODERATE FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THESE
AREAS. A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR LOCATIONS ALONG
THE SHORE OF THE UPPER TIDAL POTOMAC RIVER.

ANOMALIES SHOULD DROP QUICKLY EARLY WEDNESDAY AS AN OFFSHORE FLOW
TAKES OVER BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
