S/W ENERGY APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL HELP DEEPEN/INTENSIFY

COOL/WEDGE SCENARIO IS ALREADY IN PLACE THIS MORNING NORTH OF THE
LOW AND HAVE SEEN MUCH NEEDED RAIN FALLING OVER VA/MD WITH TEMPS
IN THE 50S TO LOW 60S. ALONG/S OF THE SFC LOW/FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...S-SE WINDS WILL BRING A SURGE OF WARM/UNSTABLE AIR INTO
SE VA/NE NC THIS AFTN INTO EARLY THIS EVE. THE RESULT WILL BE
QUITE A TEMP CONTRAST FM NW TO SE...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPR 50S/LWR
60S NW AND IN THE MID TO UPR 70S ACROSS NE NC. TEMPS ACROSS THE
N-NW HALF OF THE FA SHOULD ACTUALLY HOLD STEADY TODAY....WITH
STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING TEMPS ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR THIS AFTN.
ACROSS THE SE (WHERE WARMER/MORE UNSTABLE AIR WILL BE IN
PLACE)...THERE WILL BE A POSSIBILITY OF TSTMS THIS AFTN. SPC
CURRENTLY HAS AREAS ALONG/S OF THE ALBEMARLE SOUND IN A SLIGHT
RISK FOR SVR WX. DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE SFC LOW AND
HOW MUCH SUN PEEKS THRU...THE CLOUDS WILL DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT
A STRONGER STORM IS ABLE TO DEVELOP OVER NE NC. TOTAL QPF AMOUNTS
WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 0.25-0.75" WITH THIS SYSTEM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE SFC LO MOVES FARTHER OFFSHORE TNGT...RESULTING IN A GRADUAL
DECREASE IN CLOUDS/POPS. LOW TEMPS WILL RANGE FM THE UPR 40S NW

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE BEGINS WITH LATEST GFS/ECMWF REMAINING INTO GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER FLORIDA ON
SUN...BUILDING BACK NORTH INTO THE MID ATLC STATES MON/TUE. THE
GFS TRIES TO FLATTEN/BREAK THE RIDGE DOWN LATE TUE INTO WED AS
IT IS WEAKER WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE DESRT SW TO THE
SRN/CENTRAL PLAINS. ECMWF IS GENLY PREFERRED AT THIS TIME GIVEN
THE BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE SE CONUS. THIS PATTERN WILL LEAD TO A
WARMING TREND BEGINNING ON SUN...AS FLOW TURNS AROUND TO THE SSW
WITH SFC HIGH PUSHING WELL OFFSHORE. A WEAK WARM FRONT STILL
PROGGED TO LIFT N THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND NRN MID ATLC REGION
LATE SUN AFTN/SUN NIGHT...BUT BULK OF PRECIP SHOULD STAY OFF TO
OUR N. WILL MAINTAIN A 20% POP ACRS THE FAR NE PORTIONS OF THE CWA
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS...BUT WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST ELSEWHERE
UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. HIGHS RISE INTO THE LWR 80S INLAND AND
IN THE 70S CLOSER TO THE COAST. FROM MON-WED...500 MB HEIGHTS RISE
AND BULK OF TSTM ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO STAY OFF TO OUR
NORTH. WILL KEEP A LATE AFTN/EVENING 20% POP OVER MAINLY THE NRN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA ON MON...AND GENLY A 20% POP IN THE LATE
AFTN/EVENING OVER MUCH OF THE AREA TUE/WED. IF GFS ENDS UP BEING
CORRECT...POPS FOR WED WILL NEED TO BE RAISED. SUMMERLIKE WX
RETURNS WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY AND HIGH TEMPS WARMING BACK TO
85-90 F MON...AND UPPER 80S TO LWR 90S TUE/WED. CONDITIONS WILL
GENLY BE ABOUT 5 DEGREES COOLER AT THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHWRS AHEAD OF APPRCHG LOW PRESSURE FROM THE SW RESULTING IN
BOTH SPORATIC IFR CIGS AND VSBYS THIS AFTRN AT RIC/PHF WHILE
SBY/ORF/ECG REMAIN AT VFR. THE SHWRS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT THRU ABT 21Z OR SO THEN TAPER OFF AS THE BEST MOISTURE
PUSHES TOWARDS THE COAST. SHWRS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE LCL
IFR/MVFR CNDTNS AT SBY/PHF/ORF THRU ABT 00Z.

A WARM FRONT IS LIFTING NORT ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL
PLAIN ATTM. THIS BNDRY IS PROGGED TO LIFT NORTH TO A POSITION IVOF
THE ALBEMARLE SOUND BY 21Z. MEANWHILE...BAND OF CONVECTION IS
MOVING EAST ACROSS SRN VA/NRN NC THIS AFTRN. THIS CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN INTENSITY NEXT FEW HOURS. THUS...CONFIDENCE
HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE A 2 HOUR TEMPO TSTRM GROUP AT ECG (20-22Z)
GIVEN THE LINES CURRENT SPEED.

LOW PRESSURE AND ASSCTD FRONTAL BNDRYS WILL MOVE OFFSHORE THIS
EVENING WITH ALL DATA SUPPORTING MUCH DRIER AIR BEHIND THE SYSTM
AFTER MIDNIGHT. GFS SUGGESTS PSBLTY OF IFR FOG IN SOME PLACES
LATE TONIGHT BU CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO PUT INTO THE FCST
ATTM.

VFR CNDTNS FRI AND INTO THE WKEND AS HIGH PRS BUILDS INTO THE
AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING AS LOW PRESSURE APPRCHS FROM THE SE.
WINDS ACROSS THE CHES BAY HAVE INCREASED WITH NMRS GUSTS TO 20 KTS
REPORTED ERLY THIS AFTRN. THUS...HAVE INCREASED WIND SPEEDS TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE CRNT CNDTNS.

PRVS DSCN:
LATEST CONDITIONS REFLECT E-NE FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS THIS
MORNING AVERAGING 10-15KT. LATEST ANALYSIS FEATURES AN AREA OF SFC
LOW PRESSURE INLAND OF THE COASTAL CAROLINAS, WITH AN ASSOCIATED
WAVY FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING BACK INTO THE MID-SOUTH AND DEEP
SOUTH. MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE EVOLUTION
OF THIS SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS. APPEARS THAT SFC LOW
WILL PUSH NE ALONG THE NC COASTAL PLAIN, PUSHING OFFSHORE AND JUST
SOUTHEAST OF THE LOCAL AREA LATE TONIGHT/OVERNIGHT. QUICK
TIGHTENING OF SFC PG, A RESULT OF STRONG 6-HR PRESSURE RISES ON
THE ORDER OF 6-8 MB ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM AS IT RAPIDLY
INTENSIFIES OFF THE COAST TONIGHT, SHOULD ALLOW FOR ONSHORE WINDS
TO QUICKLY BACK TO THE NNW. A STRONG SCA SURGE OF WIND WL
ACCOMPANY THE WIND SHIFT. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES NOW GO INTO PLACE
AT NOON FOR THE BAY AND LOWER JAMES, MAINLY TO ENCOMPASS E-SE FLOW
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM EARLY THIS AFTN BEFORE WINDS BACK TO THE NNE
BEHIND THE SYSTEM TONIGHT. FOR THE UPPER BAY, BEST SURGE OF WINDS
LOOKS TO BE DELAYED UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. SCA HEADLINES ARE
ALSO NOW IN PLACE FOR THE CURRITUCK SOUND (STARTING @ 1 PM) AND
COASTAL ZONES (STARTING TONIGHT).

CONDITIONS IMPROVE THROUGH THE DAY ON FRI AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
QUICKLY SCOOTS TOWARD THE CANADIAN MARITIMES BY FRIDAY NIGHT.
ANOTHER BRIEF NORTHERLY SURGE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT AS COOL ~1030 MB
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE N. THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL
HEADLINES BEING NEEDED EXISTS WITH THE ASSOCIATED SFC COLD FRONT AS
IT DROPS ACROSS THE AREA FRI NIGHT. THE HIGH SHIFTS OFF THE COAST
FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND WITH THE RESULTANT SFC
FLOW BACKING TO THE S/SE, AVGG AOB 15 KT.
