AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
444 PM EDT TUE AUG 12 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO
CANADA. A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH FROM THE LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES OVERNIGHT AND REACH THE COAST WEDNESDAY MORNING.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE WEST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES. A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO CENTRAL
VIRGINIA. A COLD FRONT REACHED FROM THE LOW SOUTH THROUGH OHIO AND
INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
LOW PRESSURE WAS ANALYZED OVER SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA. TO THE EAST OF
THE LOW...A MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW OVER EASTERN VIRGINIA HAS RESULTED
IN AN AXIS OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE FROM THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE
ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN NECK AND TAPERING OFF EAST
OF RICHMOND. A NARROW BAND OF TWO TO THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL
OCCURRED FROM PORTIONS OF AMELIA AND POWHATAN COUNTIES ACROSS
WESTERN HENRICO AND SOUTHEAST HANOVER. HEAVY RAINFALL OF THIS
MAGNITUDE IS STILL POSSIBLE FARTHER TO THE EAST THROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. SEE FLOOD STATEMENTS ISSUED BY THIS OFFICE.
THE COLD FRONT OVER OHIO WILL MOVE QUICKLY TO THE EAST CROSSING THE
MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINIA DURING THIS EVENING AND REACHING THE
COAST WEDNESDAY MORNING. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
TONIGHT BUT THE INTENSITY OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD WIND DOWN AS
INSTABILITY DIMINISHES. LIKELY POPS CONTINUE ON THE MARYLAND EASTERN
SHORE. AS THE COLD FRONT CROSSES...PCPN SHOULD END OVER WESTERN
PORTIONS TOWARD MORNING WITH THE SKY BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY OVER THE
PIEDMONT. LOW TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE BY 12Z/WED. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
KEEP SCT TO BKN CLOUDINESS AT TIMES OVER THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY. SLGT
CHC POPS CONTINUE OVER THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE...SE VIRGINIA AND NE
NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH MID MORNING WEDNESDAY. GFS AND SREF INDICATE
LGT PCPN OVER NE NORTH CAROLINA AND HAVE SLGT CHC POPS OVER ERN
PORTIONS OF OUR NC COUNTIES DURING THE WEDNESDAY. DOWNSLOPE FLOW
WILL RESULT IN WARM TEMPERATURES BUT LOWERING DEW POINTS. THIS WILL
MEAN A PLEASANT DAY WILL BE EXPERIENCED BY MOST WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES FROM THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE DOMINATED BY AN ANOMALOUSLY
DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH FROM CANADA SOUTH INTO THE
NORTHEAST US. PERIODS OF PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL BE PSBL DUE TO
WEAK SHORT WAVES ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW. HIGH TEMPERATURES
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 80S
WITH LOWS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY MORNINGS FROM THE UPR 50S TO MID 60S.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MAIN AREA OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFF THE COAST FRIDAY NIGHT
WITH SLIGHTLY WEAKER HIGH PRESSURE RESIDING OVER THE MAINLAND. THIS
WILL ALLOW ONSHORE FLOW TO DEVELOP AND WILL ALSO PULL MOISTURE FROM
THE ATLANTIC OCEAN INTO THE REGION. TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS WILL BEGIN
TO EXPERIENCE A GRADUAL WARM-UP/INCREASE AS A RESULT. OVERALL PRECIP
FORECAST IS DRY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. A WEAK THERMAL TROUGH DEVELOPS
IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS AND MAY PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR AFTN
SHOWERS/STORMS...ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE INCREASING MOISTURE IN THE
ATMOSPHERE.
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S AND HIGH TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE
80S WILL MAKE FOR A PLEASANT DAY ON SATURDAY. AS PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED...CONDITIONS GRADUALLY MODERATE WITH HIGHS SUN/MON IN THE
UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S AND DEWPOINTS RISING INTO THE MID TO UPPER
60S. LOWS FRI/SAT NIGHT IN THE 60S (UPPER 50S FAR NW COUNTIES)...
THEN LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S SUN/MON NIGHT.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A MESO LOW OVER SOUTHEAST VA IS LIFTING NORTH AND WILL TRACK OVER
THE WESTERN BAY. THIS IS RESULTING IN A MIX OF MVFR CONDITIONS
OVER SOUTHEAST VA AND NORTHEAST NC. SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OF
12 TO 20 KT WILL PERSIST IN THESE AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. FARTHER
INLAND AND NORTH THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN HAS BEEN THE FOCUS JUST NORTH OF KRIC AND MOVING TOWARDS KSBY
AS OF 12/1800Z. EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MD EASTERN SHORE
WITH BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR VSBYS AND CIGS IN HEAVY RAIN FROM
12/1800Z TO 12/2200Z.
BY LATE EVENING...THE SFC LOW WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NE AWAY FROM THE
REGION AND TAKE ANY LINGERING SHOWERS WITH IT...HOWEVER THE LOW
LEVELS WILL STILL CONTAIN ABUNDANT MOISTURE SO COULD SEE EITHER
LOW STRATUS OR FOG POTENTIAL TONIGHT AS WINDS ARE LIGHT IN ADVANCE

.MARINE...
* SCA FLAGS ADJUSTED TO EXTEND END TIMES. CHES BAY NOW ENDS AT 7 PM
THIS EVENING AND THE COASTAL WATERS FROM CAPE CHARLES LIGHT TO
CHINCOTEAGUE HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 8 AM WED MORNING.
A WARM FRONT IS FINALLY LIFTING NORTH THROUGH THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTN AND WILL CROSS THE NRN WATERS LATER THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT
IS THEN EXPECTED TO CROSS THE WATERS FROM WEST TO EAST LATE TONIGHT
INTO WED MORNING. SE WINDS OVER ALL WATERS ARE AVERAGING 15-20 KT
WITH GUSTS OF 25 KT. SEAS HAVE BUILT UP QUICKLY THIS AFTN WITH SEAS
OF 4-5 FT SOUTH OF CAPE CHARLES LIGHT AND SEAS OF 3-5 FT NORTH OF
CAPE CHARLES LIGHT. SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. SRN COASTAL WATERS WILL SUBSIDE BELOW 5 FT
AROUND MIDNIGHT...NRN WATERS DON'T DROP BELOW 5 FT UNTIL AFTER 8 AM
WED MORNING. ALREADY SEEING A REDUCTION IN WIND SPEEDS ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT...WHICH COINCIDES WELL WITH THE CURRENT
FORECAST. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO WEAKEN TONIGHT INTO
WED AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. CAA IS NEGLIGIBLE
DURING THE DAY WED AND WNW FLOW WILL BE AOB 15 KT ALL WATERS.
THERE IS A MODEST COLD AIR SURGE WED NIGHT AND SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO
INCREASE NW-N WINDS TO 15-20 KT GENERALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT WED NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY THU MORNING. SCA FLAGS ARE POSSIBLE ON CHES BAY BUT
FORECAST WINDS REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLD OF 20 KT. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION ON THU WITH LIGHTER WINDS (GENERALLY AOB
10 KT) AND LOWER SEAS OF 2-3 FT. A BACK DOOR FRONT MOVES SOUTHWARD
THU NIGHT INTO FRI BEFORE STALLING ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. THIS
WOULD ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF ONSHORE/ELY WINDS DURING THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND.
