AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
401 PM EDT THU JUL 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE ARTHUR WILL LIFT ALONG THE SOUTH AND NORTH CAROLINA
COASTS TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. ARTHUR
WILL REACH THE OUTER BANKS BY THIS EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT
PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION. ARTHUR WILL THEN PUSH OFFSHORE FRIDAY
MORNING...SWEEPING THE COLD FRONT THROUGH WITH IT. HIGH PRESSURE
THEN RETURNS TO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS ANOMALOUS UPPER TROUGH PUSHING
INTO THE REGION AS ARTHUR LOCATES OFF THE NC/SC COAST. TROUGH HAS
STARTED TO DAMPEN SLIGHTLY AS A STRONG SPEED MAX ROUNDS THE
BASE...BUT IT CONTINUES TO MAKE A GOOD PUSH EWD. EVEN SO...THE
COLD FRONT HAS MADE VERY LITTLE EWD PROGRESS...WITH SCT-NUMEROUS
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS REMAINING OVER THE CNTRL APPALACHIANS.
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL HAS BEEN OBSERVED WITH THESE STORMS.
ANOTHER AREA OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL
BAND FROM ARTHUR HAS SPREAD INTO SW VA...WITH SCT
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING INTO CNTRL VA.
HOWEVER...SUBSIDENCE VISIBLE ON WATER VAPOR AND VISIBLE SATELLITE
HAS INHIBITED COVERAGE OVER MUCH OF THE LOCAL AREA THUS FAR THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL CHANGE AS AN EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE LIFTS OVER
THE REGION...COOLING TEMPS ALOFT AND IMPROVING MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES. WITH TEMPS WARMING INTO THE MID 90S OVER THE PIEDMONT INTO
CNTRL VA WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S-LOW 70S HAS PUSHED MLCAPE
VALUES TO 2000-2500 J/KG. THE ADDED INSTABILITY ALONG WITH THETA-E
RIDGING AND COOLING ALOFT WILL RESULT IN MUCH BETTER COVERAGE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM THE PIEDMONT INTO CNTRL VA.
CORFIDI VECTORS AND FLOW STILL SUGGESTS HEAVY RAINFALL. ISOLATED
DAMAGING WINDS ALSO POSSIBLE DUE TO INSTABILITY AND INVERTED V
SOUNDINGS. FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE NW PORTIONS
OF THE LOCAL AREA.

MEANWHILE...ARTHUR LIFTS NNE ALONG THE SC/NC COAST THIS
EVENING...STRENGTHENING SLIGHTLY. BANDS LIFTING NWD WILL LIKELY
PUSH SOME PRECIP INTO THE REGION THIS EVENING BEFORE THE HEAVIEST
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE TONIGHT.

TONIGHT...
ARTHUR LIFTS ALONG THE NC COAST TONIGHT...LOCATING OFF THE OUTER
BANKS LATE TONIGHT-EARLY FRI MORNING. TROPICAL AIRMASS WILL BE IN
PLACE OVER SE VA/NE NC WITH PRECIP WATERS IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES.
THE RESULT WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL ALONG THE COAST OVERNIGHT WITH
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-3 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG THE
SE VA/NE NC COAST LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRI MORNING.
MEANWHILE...THE COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY PUSH ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA.
HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS A THREAT AS STORM MOTION REMAINS SLOW AND
THE AIRMASS REMAINS MOIST. QPF AMOUNTS ALONG THE FRONT WILL
GENERALLY BE ONE HALF TO ONE INCH WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS UP TO 2
INCHES.

PLEASE REFER TO THE HURRICANE LOCAL STATEMENT FOR MORE IMPACTS
RELATED TO ARTHUR AND NHC FOR THE LATEST TRACK AND INTENSITY
INFORMATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ARTHUR QUICKLY DEPARTS THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST EARLY
FRI...SWEEPING THE COLD FRONT OFF THE COAST EARLY FRI AFTERNOON.
WLY FLOW ALONG WITH SUBSIDENCE AND STRONG PRESSURE RISES IN WAKE
OF THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN A RAPID DRYING TREND FRI AFTERNOON
W-E. SKIES WILL ALSO RAPIDLY CLEAR INLAND...BECOMING MOSTLY SUNNY
BY MID AFTERNOON. CLOUDS/SHOWERS MAY LINGER ALONG THE ERN SHORE
THRU LATE AFTERNOON...BUT INDEPENDENCE DAY NIGHT LOOKS QUITE PLEASANT
FOR EARLY JUNE. TEMPS FRI ONLY FORECAST IN THE MID 80S. DEWPOINTS
WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER 50S-LOW 60S...RESULTING IN LESS HUMID
CONDITIONS. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE (~1025 MB) BUILDS EWD OVER THE OH
VALLEY FRI NIGHT...SETTLING OVER THE REGION SATURDAY. THE RESULT
IS FAIR WEATHER AND GENERALLY MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS. LOWS FRI
NIGHT-SAT MORNING FORECAST IN THE UPPER 50S OVER RURAL AREAS
INLAND TO LOW 60S. ALONG THE COAST...WARM WATERS WILL KEEP TEMPS
IN THE UPPER 60S. TEMPS WILL ONLY WARM INTO THE MID 80S AGAIN SAT
AS DEWPOINTS MIX INTO THE UPPER 40S. N WINDS 10-15 MPH. TEMPS SAT
NIGHT BACK INTO THE UPPER 50S-LOW 60S INLAND TO UPPER 60S NEAR THE
COAST. HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES OFFSHORE SUNDAY WITH RETURN FLOW
WARMING TEMPS BACK INTO THE UPPER 80S...NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
BERMUDA HIGH DOMINATES NEXT WEEK. S-SW FLOW ALLOWS HEAT AND HUMIDITY
TO RETURN. MODELS SHOW THERMAL TROF DVLPNG EAST OF MTS RESULTING IN
LOW CHC DIURNAL POPS TUE THRU THU. HIGHS L-M90S...XCPT M-U80S BEACH
AREAS. LOWS U60S-M70S THRU THE PRD.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
GOOD VFR CONDS AT ALL TAF SITES AT THIS TIME WITH SCTTERED CU AND
SE-SW WINDS AROUND 10 KT AND OCNL GUSTS. COLD FRONT OVER WESTERN VA
WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST THRU THE DAY. WITH THE HOT AND HUMID AIRMASS
IN PLACE...STRONG SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT. TIMING OF STORMS FOR ANY PARTICULAR TAF SITE
IS DIFFICULT BUT HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTS WILL BE PSBL.
EXPECT CONDS TO DETERIORATE FOR ECG DURING THE LATE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF HURRICANE ARTHUR. ARTHUR WILL BRUSH THE NC OUTER
BANKS EARLY FRI MORNING AND THEN MOVE RAPIDLY NE AND FARTHER OUT TO
SEA. 35 TO 45 KT WINDS COULD POTENTIALLY IMPACT BOTH NE NC AND SE VA
DURING THAT TIME ALONG WITH RAIN BANDS FROM THE STORM. RAINS FROM
THE STORM MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY ISOLD THUNDER AND MVFR/IFR CIGS AND
VSBY. RIC/PHF/SBY SHOULD SEE LITTLE IMPACT FROM ARTHUR.

CONDS WILL IMPROVE RAPIDLY BY FRI AFTN AS ARTHUR MOVES NE AND HI
PRES BUILDS INTO THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
GIVEN CRNT WIND OBS AND SHORT RANGE MODEL FCSTS...DECIDED TO
START SCA FOR CHES BAY WITH THIS PACKAGE. HOWEVER...XPCT TO SEE A
FEW HR LULL IN SCA CNDTNS AS CRNT SRLY SURGE DMNSHS BY MIDNIGHT

GUSTS TO 45 KTS XPCTD IVOF VA BCH...40 KTS FRTHR NORTH ALONG THE
DELMARVA COAST.

WINDS QUICKLY SHIFT TO THE N-NW BEHIND DEPARTING SYSTM FRI. STILL A

ONCE THEY ARE DISCONTINUED. OTW...WINDS QUICKLY DIMINSH BLO SCA
HEADLINES FRI NIGHT.

SEAS WILL BE SLOWER TO IMPROVE. 8-14 FT SEAS FRI SLOWLY DMNSH BLO 5

FYI...NO SRF FOR LAND AREAS THAT HAVE TRPLCL HEADLINES. WILL CONT TO
ISSUE SRF FOR BEACH AREAS N OF CAPE CHARLES LIGHT. GIVEN THE TRACK
