AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
1052 PM EDT THU MAY 15 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST OVERNIGHT AND SLOWLY MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DOWN
ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. WEAK LOW PRESSURE
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES ON SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
EXTENDED THE FLOOD WATCH ANOTHER TIER OF COUNTIES PER LATEST OBS
AND IR SATELLITE/RADAR TRENDS. SOME AREAS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED
2-3" WITH LOCALLY UP TO 4" IN A FEW LOCATIONS ACRS MECKLENBURG CO.
MEANWHILE...FARTHER EAST LITTLE TO NO RAIN HAS BEEN RECEIVED THUS
FAR. FOR THE OVERNIGHT...WITH A VERY SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESSION TO
THE MAIN PRECIP SHIELD...HAVE SLOWED DOWN THE ONSET OF LIKELY/CAT POPS
AT THE COAST UNTIL AFTER 09Z.
SEVERE WEATHER IS UNLIKELY OVERNIGHT DUE TO LIMITED INSTABILITY
AND GENLY HAVE NOT BEEN SEEING ANY CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING OVER
THE PAST 2 HRS. STILL CAN'T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STRONG STORM BUT
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FOR HEAVY RAIN AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
AVG 1.7 TO 1.9". LOW PRESSURE IS NOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT
FROM CENTRAL NC TO SOUTH CENTRAL VA AND THIS WILL ENHANCE THE
SSE FLOW INTO THE FRONT AND KEEP BREEZY CONDITIONS GOING
OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY AT THE COAST WHERE SOME WIND GUSTS UP TO
35-40 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. WITH THE FRONT JUST BARELY REACHING
WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA BY SUNRISE EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO
REMAIN MOSTLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S BUT WILL LIKELY DROP INTO
THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S OVER THE FAR WESTERN ZONES.
ANOTHER STRONG UPPER PIECE OF ENERGY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON
FRIDAY. THIS WILL PUSH THE LOW PRESSURE INTO THE NORTHEAST AND
THIS PULLS THE FRONT OFF THE COAST. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE
PLENTY OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN
ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT. PRECIPITATION WILL END WEST OF I95 DURING
THE MORNING AND END DURING THE AFTERNOON AT THE COAST.THE HEAVIEST
RAINFALL IS EXPECTED IN THE WESTERN MOST COUNTIES WHERE THE AREAL
FLOOD WATCH IS POSTED. EXPECTING 2-4" RAIN THERE. BY THE TIME THE
EVENT ENDS MOST OF THE CWA WILL RECEIVED BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES OF
RAIN. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AFTER THE FRONT HAS MOVED OFF THE COAST WILL HAVE HIGH PRESSURE
MOVE IN. THIS WILL BRING DRYING ACROSS THE AREA. THE MAIN UPPER
SYSTEM STILL STAYS TO THE NORTH AND SOME ENERGY WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA ON SATURDAY. ONLY EXPECT THIS TO CAUSE SOME MORE
AFTERNOON CLOUDINESS. BY SUNDAY BOTH THE GFS AND NAM ARE NOW
SHOWING SOME WEAK OVERRUNNING TO THE FRONT WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE
AREA. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO REACH INTO
SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA AND NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. ALSO THE SREF INDICATES A CHANCE OF AT LEAST A QUARTER
OF AN INCH THEN. WILL ONLY PUT IN SLIGHT CHANCE FOR NOW BUT WILL
HAVE TO WHICH WAY THE MODELS TREND. FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WILL
HAVE TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
CUT-OFF LOW WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC MON...BUT
BLOCKY PATTERN WILL PERSIST AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORS OVER THE
NRN ATLANTIC. THE PERSISTENT ERN CONUS TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY
PUSH OFFSHORE MON...LOCATING OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC THRU MID WEEK.
UPPER LOW WILL LIFT NEWD OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY WEDS.
MEANWHILE...AN UPPER RIDGE WILL AMPLIFY OVER THE CNTRL CONUS WITH
THE UPPER HIGH LOCATING OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THIS WILL RESULT
IN NWLY FLOW OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION LATE MON THRU MID WEEK. AT
THE SFC...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NW ON MON...LOCATING
OVER THE LOCAL AREA THRU WEDS BEFORE SLIDING OFF THE SE COAST THRU
THE END OF THE WEEK. BY WED...A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT FROM THE GULF
STATES NEWD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC BEFORE BECOMING QUASI-STATIONARY
ACROSS THE REGION. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BECOME THE FOCUS FOR
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MID-LATE NEXT WEEK AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVES
OVER THE REGION IN NW FLOW. POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS FOR MCS
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE OH VALLEY ALONG THE BOUNDARY...WHICH COULD
IMPACT THE REGION IN NW FLOW. WILL CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE-CHANCE POPS
WED-THURS.
OTHERWISE...TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE NORMS
MON-WED...GENERALLY IN THE LOW-MID 70S BEFORE WARMING INTO THE UPPER
70S LOW 80S BY THURS.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A STRONG COLD FRONT ORIENTED FROM NORTH TO SOUTH OVER THE EASTERN
OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE EASTWARDS INTO THE LOCAL AREA FRIDAY MORNING.
AS OF 00Z...A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WAS SITUATED OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FA...AND CONTINUING TO
SLOWLY PROGRESS EASTWARDS. EXPECT MAINLY MVFR CIGS WITH THE RAIN
AT KRIC...AND THE SAME AT THE OTHER TAF SITES WHEN THE RAIN BEGINS
OVERNIGHT. THEN A TRANSITION TOWARDS IFR POSSIBLE AS THE RAIN
BECOMES HEAVIER FRIDAY MORNING. S/SE WINDS WILL BE BREEZY AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...GUSTING TO 20-25 KT.
WINDS VEER TO NORTHWEST AND NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT LATER ON
FRIDAY. THE RAIN ENDS AND CEILINGS IMPROVE WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE.
OUTLOOK...MAINLY VFR CONDS ARE LIKELY LATER FRI THROUGH TUE AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST. THERE WILL BE
A SLGT CHC FOR SHOWERS SUNDAY NIGHT OVER SOUTHEAST PORTIONS.
&&
.MARINE...
A STRONG COLD FRONT HAS REACHED THE CNTRL APPALACHIANS AS HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC. THIS HAS PRODUCED SE FLOW
OVER THE WATERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SPEEDS REACHING 20-25
KNOTS. GOOD MIXING OVER LAND HAS RESULTED IN GUSTS REACHING 30
KNOTS...PUSHING SOME STRONGER GUSTS OVER THE ADJACENT WATERS IN THE
LOWER BAY. HEADLINES ARE NOW IN EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS.
S-SE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THRU THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AS THE FRONT APPROACHES AND THE RESULTANT GRADIENT TIGHTENS. THE
STRONGEST WINDS ARE FORECAST LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRI MORNING
WITH GUSTS REACHING 30-33 KNOTS OVER THE WATERS. BY LATE
TONIGHT...WINDS A FEW THOUSAND FT OFF THE WATERS WILL REACH 50-55
KNOTS AS A SFC LOW LIFTS ALONG THE FRONT INTO SE VA. WINDS WILL PUSH
GALE FORCE JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...BUT PRESSURE FALLS DO NOT
LOOK STRONG ENOUGH FOR SUSTAINED GALE SPEEDS. HOWEVER...GUSTS OVER
SE VA AND NE NC WILL REACH 35-40 KT...SO AN OCCASIONAL GUST UP TO 35
KNOTS IS POSSIBLE FOR AROUND 3 HOURS FROM 5AM-8AM...ESPECIALLY OVER
THE LOWER BAY AND COASTAL WATERS. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WITH EMBEDDED CONVECTION WHICH WILL
LIKELY ENHANCE WINDS FURTHER. WILL HANDLE THE POTENTIAL GALE GUSTS
WITH SHORT FUSED PRODUCTS (MARINE WEATHER STATEMENTS/SPECIAL MARINE
WARNINGS). IN ADDITION...WAVES WILL BUILD TO 3-5 FT IN THE BAY AND
2-3 FT IN THE LOWER RIVERS TONIGHT-FRI MORNING. A LONG FETCH WILL
PUSH SEAS TO 5-10 FT FRIDAY.
THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BACKING THE WINDS
TO THE NW. HOWEVER...DO NOT ANTICIPATE A NWLY SURGE DUE TO A LACK OF
CAA AND GRADIENT WINDS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE SLOW TO BUILD OVER
THE WATERS THRU THE WEEKEND AS A BLOCKY PATTERN SETS UP OVER THE WRN
ATLANTIC. SEAS WILL ALSO BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE THRU THE DAY SAT DUE TO
LONG PERIOD SWELL. HIGH PRESSURE AND SUB-SCA CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THRU MID WEEK.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED A FLOOD WARNING FOR LAWRENCEVILLE AS MINOR FLOODING IS
LIKELY BY FRI MORNING. SEVERAL SITES IN SOUTHERN VA WILL LIKELY
NEED WARNINGS BUT THE RISES ARE SLOWER AND FLOOD STAGE WILL NOT BE
REACHED UNTIL FRI AFTN OR LATER (THUS WILL WAIT AND SEE QPF
AMOUNTS THAT OCCUR OVERNIGHT). FLOODING WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...WELL AFTER RAINFALL COMES TO AN END. SEE FLWAKQ FOR DETAILS.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
INCREASING S-SE FLOW IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING STRONG COLD
FRONT HAS COMBINED WITH A FULL MOON TO PUSH TIDAL ANOMALIES TO
AROUND 1 FT TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST ANOMALIES WILL BE IN THE UPPER
BAY...INCLUDING BISHOPS HEAD AND CAMBRIDGE. COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE CHESAPEAKE BAY SIDE OF THE MD
