AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
408 PM EDT FRI AUG 23 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
THE COLD FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY...AND SETTLES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DRIFT SSE ACROSS
THE REGION AS THE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SAG SOUTHWARD THROUGH
THE AREA AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM THURSDAY CONVECTION MOVES OFF
THE COAST. THE SHOWERS ARE DROPPING SE AT AROUND 15 TO 20 KTS.
THIS SHOULD HAVE MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SOUTH OF THE VA/NC
BORDER BY 00Z SO HAVE LEFT LIKELY POPS IN AROUND 00Z FOR THAT ARE
BUT TAPER THEM BACK TO CHANCE FOR VA AND BEGIN THE DRY WX FOR
LWR MD ERN SHORE. BY 6Z...THE FRONT WILL BE SOUTH OF THE AREA AND
THE DRY AIR WILL BEGIN TO PUSH INTO THE AREA. AS THE SKY
CLEARS...AND THE WINDS RELAX...COULD SEE SOME PATCH DENSE FOG
FORM. FOR NOW HAVE NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST...AS THE FOG
FORMATION WILL DEPEND ON WHERE THE RAIN FALLS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

ON SATURDAY...THE STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE...NOW OVER THE
GREAT LAKES WILL BEGIN TO NOSE SOUTHWARD DOWN THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. THIS WILL PUSH COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE
AREA...ALLOWING FOR SUNSHINE WITH JUST SOME AFTERNOON CU.

FOR TEMPERATURES...RAN JUST A TOUCH ABOVE THE GUIDANCE TONIGHT IN
EXPECTING THE CLOUDS AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO HOLD TEMPS UP A
TOUCH. ON SATURDAY...THE 850 TEMPS ARE AROUND 12 TO 14C FROM NE TO
SW.  SO HAVE GONE WITH MID 80S IN THE SOUTH TO AROUND 80S IN THE NORTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
STRONG UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS NOSES INTO THE AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD...WHILE AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE ALONG
THE EASTERN SEABOARD REMAINS ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA...WHILE
SLOWLY SLIDING OFF THE COAST. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DRY WX THROUGH
THE PERIOD WITH SUNNY WARM DAYS AND COOL NIGHTS. WILL HAVE TO
WATCH FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION ROLLING OVER THE TOP OF THE
RIDGE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY TRYING TO TURN
SOUTHEAST AND DROP INTO NRN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON
MONDAY...BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH MODEL CONSISTENCY WITH THIS
IDEA BETWEEN THE GFS OR ECMWF SO SO NOW HAVE JUST ALLOWED FOR SOME
SLIGHT INCREASE IN CLOUDS ON MONDAY AS A RESULT.

FOR TEMPERATURES...THE GUIDANCE LOOKS A LITTLE COOL ON SUNDAY
GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE AND 850 MB TEMPS AROUND 13 TO 14C SO
KEPT READINGS CLOSE TO SATURDAY VALUES. BY MONDAY THE AIR MASS
SHOULD BEGIN TO MODIFY AND BEGIN A WARMING TREND. FOR OVERNIGHT
LOWS...READINGS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S SHOULD BE COMMON ON SUN
MORNING...EXCEPT FOR THE URBAN HOT SPOTS AND AREAS NEAR WATER
WHERE READING SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 60S. SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BEGIN TO
SEE THE WARMING TREND WITH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES HIGHER THAN SAT NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LARGE SCALE PATTERN DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD CHARACTERIZED BY
LARGE MID LVL RIDGE IN THE CNTRL U.S. AND WEAK NW/WNW FLOW IN THE
NE/MID ATLANTIC REGION. GFS/ECMWF ARE SIMILAR IN THE DAYS 4-7
PERIOD...BUT GFS IS SLIGHTLY FASTER WITH CD FRONT MOVING THROUGH
REGION IN THE DAY 6-7 TIME FRAME. ECMWF HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT
LAST FEW RUNS IN ITS TIMING...SO HAVE PREFERRED IT OVER GFS. EXPECT
TUE TO BE DRY...WITH MOST PRECIP IN NW FLOW STAYING N OF CWA. WHILE
IT IS POSSIBLE SOME TSTMS COULD PERSIST SEWD INTO THE NRN CWA
TUE/EARLY WED...UNCERTAINTY IS TOO GREAT TO ADD INTO FORECAST. NEXT
THREAT FOR SHWRS/TSTMS WILL BE WED/THU THURSDAY WITH FRONT. FRONT
FORECAST TO CLEAR AREA THURSDAY NIGHT. NEXT FRI EXPECTED TO BE DRY
AND SLIGHTLY COOLER.

TEMPS WILL START THE PERIOD AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL...WITH MAX
TEMPS IN THE UPR 80S MOST AREAS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. SLIGHTLY
COOLER FRI WITH TEMPS IN THE LO TO MID 80S. MIN TEMPS IN THE 60S
TUESDAY MORNING AND FRIDAY MORNING...AND AROUND 70 MOST AREAS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND TSTMS AFFECTING THE REGION AS A WEAK COLD
FRONT MOVES SLOWLY THROUGH THE AREA. EARLIER STORMS MOVED THROUGH
RIC AREA AND MORE STORMS DEVELOPING WITH AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN
THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS. WINDS ARE MOSTLY LIGHT N-NE WITH AND BEHIND
THE SYSTEM AND SE-SW AHEAD. EXPECT WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY TO LIKELY
CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING ESPECIALLY FOR THE NORTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE CWA AND CONTINUE INTO THE LATE EVENING FOR SOUTHERN PORTIONS AS
THE FRONT MOVES TOWARDS THE VA/NC BORDER. SBY LIKELY TO GET MOSTLY
-RA BUT AN ISOLD TSTM CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. STORMS MAY CAUSE
MVFR/IFR CONDS WITH PRECIP FOR TAF SITES. EXPECT MOST OF SHRA/TSTM
ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT AS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT MOVES OUT.
HIGH PRES WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT WITH
MOSTLY LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED. SOME DRIER AIR SHOULD FILTER IN BUT
AREAS WHERE PRECIP FELL MAY DEVELOP SOME MVFR GROUND FOG.

VFR AND GOOD FLYING WEATHER EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
COMPLEX COLD FRONT BEGINNING TO MOVE THROUGH REGION ATTM. INITIAL
WIND SURGE STAYING BELOW SCA CRITERIA...WITH A SECOND WIND SURGE
EXPECTED TONIGHT. THIS SURGE ALSO EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA
CRITERIA...BUT WILL PRODUCE CHOPPY CONDITIONS ON THE BAY/OCEAN. NE
WINDS IN THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE PERSIST FROM SATURDAY INTO EARLY
SUNDAY ACROSS THE LWR BAY/SRN COASTAL WATERS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE NORTH. WHILE WINDS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA
CRITERIA...SEAS EXPECTED TO BUILD TO 5 FEET ON THE FAR SOUTHERN
COASTAL WATERS BY LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON. ACCORDINGLY...WILL ISSUE
A SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS.
