NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 21, 1:28 PM EST, 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 21, 1:28 PM EST, 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
128 PM EST FRI FEB 21 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA TODAY...MOVING OFFSHORE THIS
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE
WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAS PUSHED EWD
TWD THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON. TORNADO WATCH 24 REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE WAKEFIELD CWA UNTIL 5 PM THIS EVENING.
EXPECT LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE
95 BEHIND THE MAIN SQUALL LINE.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE SFC COLD FRONT IS DRAPED ACROSS CTRL VA AS OF NOON TODAY. A
SQUALL LINE HAS DEVELOPED JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
WIND GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LINE ARE AVERAGING AROUND 50
MPH...EXCEPT IN AREAS WHERE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. ISOLATED
AREAS OF CLEARING CAN BE SEEN IN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY ACROSS
FAR SE VA/COASTAL NE NC WHICH WILL ENHANCE INSTABILITY...IN
ADDITION TO DAYTIME HEATING IN THE WARM SECTOR (AHEAD OF THE
FRONT) WHERE TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS HAVE RISEN INTO THE
70S/60S RESPECTIVELY. EXPECT STORMS TO STRENGTHEN INTO THIS
AFTERNOON AS A RESULT. IN ADDITION TO STRONG THUNDERSTORM WIND
GUSTS...THIS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
HEAVY RAINFALL (PWATS UP TO 1.50 INCHES) AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. A
TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM THIS EVENING FOR MOST OF
CTRL/ERN VA...NE NC...MD/VA EASTERN SHORE.
THE SWATH OF PRECIP FOR TODAY WILL BE CONFINED TO THE FRONT AND
SHOULD END RATHER QUICKLY (WITHIN 1-2 HRS) AFTER THE INITIAL LINE OF
STORMS MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO COME TO AN
END IN FAR WRN AREAS BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND BY AROUND 8 PM THIS
EVENING IN FAR ERN/COASTAL AREAS. TOTAL PRECIP AMTS HAVE BEEN
ADJUSTED TO ACCOUNT FOR HEAVY CONVECTIVE RAINS. STORM TOTALS FOR
THIS EVENT SHOULD BE AROUND 0.50 INCHES...LOCALLY HIGHER UNDER
STRONG STORM CORES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CONVECTION ACROSS SERN COASTAL AREAS THIS EVENING QUICKLY ENDS WITH
TSCTNS SHOW DRYING W-E. DECREASING CLOUDINESS WITH SKIES BECOMING
MSTLY CLR TO PT CLDY. WEAK CAA QUICKLY RETURNS TMPS / DP TMPS BACK
TO REALITY WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO THE 30S.
HIGH PRESSURE (OF PACIFIC ORIGIN) BUILDS EAST ACROSS THE SERN US SAT
& SAT NIGHT THEN MOVES TO A POSITION ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST SUN.
DESPITE SOME PERIODIC CLOUD COVER FROM TIME TO TIME...EXPECT A DRY
AND MILD WEEKEND AHEAD. HIGHS SAT 60-65. LOWS SAT NITE IN THE 30S.
WARMER SUNDAY AHEAD OF NXT APPRCHG COLD FRONT. HIGHS IN THE M-U60S
EXCEPT L60S ERN SHORE.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH LATITUDES CONTINUE TO BE DOMINATED BY A DYNAMIC/HIGHLY
AMPLIFIED PATTERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED. QUASI-ZONAL FLOW OVER THE
CONUS TO BEGIN THE EXTENDED WILL AMPLIFY EARLY NEXT WEEK...
CHARACTERIZED BY A MEAN RIDGE IN THE WEST AND DEEPENING TROUGH IN
THE EAST. SHORTWAVE ENERGY IN THE NRN STREAM...ROUNDING THE BASE
OF A STRONG -2 TO -3 STD DEV UPPER LOW...WILL IMPACT THE NE INTO
THE MID- ATLANTIC THROUGH THE EXTENDED. HOWEVER...THESE WAVES ARE
TYPICALLY DIFFICULT TO TIME AND THERE REMAINS LARGE SPREADS IN
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE AND DETERMINISTIC RUNS. THE FIRST WAVE WILL PUSH
A CLIPPER FRONT THROUGH THE REGION SUN NIGHT-MON MORNING. FRONTAL
PASSAGE ANTICIPATED TO BE DRY AS PROFILES SHOW LIMITED NRN STREAM
MOISTURE AND WLY FLOW. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING
FRONT MON. SPATIAL AND TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THE SFC HIGH RESULT
IN A TRICKY TEMP FORECAST MON AS LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES BTWN
GFS/GEFS AND ECMWF ARE NEARLY 30 M. THE RESULT WOULD BE HIGHS IN
THE MID 40S OR MID 50S. PREFERRED AN ENSEMBLE/WPC APPROACH TO
SMOOTH OUT THE DIFFERENCES FOR THE TIME BEING WITH TEMPS SLIGHTLY
BELOW SEASONAL NORMS (HIGHS MID 40S NORTH TO LOW 50S SOUTH). THE
NEXT SHORTWAVE WILL TRAVERSE THE NE STATES TUES AS A WEAK SRN
STREAM WAVE DEVELOPS A LOW ALONG THE STALLED COLD FRONT OVER THE
GULF STATES. MODELS KEEP ANY MEASURABLE PRECIP SOUTH OF THE
REGION...WHICH MATCHES WELL WITH THE DEEPENING TROUGH OVER THE ERN
CONUS. WHILE CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY TUES...DO ANTICIPATE
INCREASING CLOUDS THROUGH THE DAY. MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE DIGGING
OVER THE GREAT LAKES LATE TUES-TUES NIGHT AND INCREASING WINDS
ALOFT WILL DEVELOP A STRONGER WAVE ALONG THE FRONT OFF THE SE
COAST TUES NIGHT. LOW WILL LIFT OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST WEDS
MORNING. HAVE OPTED TO MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS INLAND DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY (WHILE THE TREND MAY BE TO TAKE THEM OUT) BUT HAVE
INCREASED THE COAST TO LOW END CHANCE POPS TUES NIGHT-WEDS
MORNING. TEMPS MAY BE COLD ENOUGH FOR FROZEN PRECIP BUT CAA LOOKS
MARGINAL DUE TO NO STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTHWEST...SO HAVE
OPTED FOR RAIN OR SNOW WORDING AS FAR SOUTH AS CENTRAL VA. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST WED AFTERNOON THROUGH THE END OF
THE EXTENDED PERIOD...RESULTING IN MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND DRY/COOL
CONDITIONS.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
POSITIONING OF THE WARM FRONT THIS MORNING IS MAKING FOR AN
INTERESTING MIX OF LOWER CIGS BTWN 1500-3000 FT AGL...GUSTY WINDS
SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT...AND PATCHY FOG ON THE ATLANTIC SIDE OF
THE MD/VA EASTERN SHORE. THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT
NORTH AND OUT OF THE AREA THE REST OF THIS MORNING. MEANWHILE...A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION LATER THIS
MORNING INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. GUSTY S-SW WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
STRENGTHEN BY MID-LATE MORNING AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. GUSTS UP TO 30 KT ARE ANTICIPATED. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
ALSO EXPECTED TO DEVELOP JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. MAIN THREAT
WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM TODAY WILL BE GUSTY WINDS UP TO 40
KT...LOCALLY HIGHER UNDER STRONGER STORM CORES...AND MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINFALL. EXPECT A QUICK REDUCTION TO CIGS/VIS AS STORMS
PASS THROUGH THE AREA.
CIGS SHOULD QUICKLY IMPROVE TO VFR FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE CLEAR SKIES AREAWIDE BY 22/0600Z. WINDS
ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED TO DIMINISH THROUGH THIS EVENING AS THE WIND
DIRECTION BECOMES MORE W-WNW. SPEEDS OF 5 KT OR LESS WILL BE
COMMON AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION DURING THE WEEKEND AND DRY/QUIET VFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL THE WATERS. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
SLOWLY INCREASING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT SET UP TO MOVE ACROSS THE
WATERS THIS AFTERNOON. ELEVATED SENSORS WERE REGISTERING HIGHER
VELOCITIES DUE TO THE LACK OF MIXING DOWN TO THE WATER SURFACE AND
THIS SHOULD CONTINUE THE REST OF THE MORNING. HAVE ALSO CUT BACK ON
THE SEAS FROM BOTH EARLIER FORECASTS AND THE MODELS...AGAIN DUE TO
LOWER VELOCITIES REACHING THE WATER SURFACE.
WINDS DIMINISH WITHIN A FEW HOURS FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
HAVE SCA ENDING AT 00Z EXCEPT NORTH OF CAPE CHARLES WHERE IT
CONTINUES UNTIL 03Z.
A QUIET PERIOD WILL FOLLOW LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. THE NEXT
COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY BRING NEW SCA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH
WINDS FROM THE NW.
