ENERGY RIDING FROM THE GREAT PLAINS ACROSS THE MIDWEST MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT. FROM THERE, THE PATTERN BEGINS TO GET MORE
INTERESTING ONCE AGAIN. GFS/ECMWF/NAM ALL TAKE SFC LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN GULF COAST LATE MONDAY ALONG THE DEEP
SOUTH AND ACROSS THE CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN INTO TUE. MODELS HAVE
TRENDED SLOWER AND COLDER AS SFC LOW PRESSURE IS PROGGED TO TRACK
CLOSER TO THE COAST. OVERALL, CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT MODELS ARE
HANDLING SOUTHERN STREAM MOISTURE POORLY, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF
POWERFUL VORTEX CROSSING THE NORTHEAST EARLY IN THE PERIOD, AND
SECOND PIECE OF STRONG ENERGY THAT WILL RE-AMPLIFY THE FLOW IN THE
MID WEEK PERIOD. THUS, HAVE MAINTAINED COASTAL CAROLINA TRACK FOR
SFC LOW, WHICH WOULD PORTEND TO SOME INTERESTING WINTER WX ISSUES
BY THE TIME WE GET INTO TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
PREVIOUS TIMING HAS BEEN LARGELY PRESERVED FOR TUE/TUE NIGHT AND
WED. LOOK FOR INCREASING CLOUDS MON NIGHT...AND WILL BRING A CHC
FOR PRECIP (SNOW SHRAS) AFTER 06Z/TUE AS OVERRUNNING MOISTURE
PUSHES IN FROM THE SW. OVERALL, THE MODELS ARE IN REMARKABLY GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH FEATURES, AND MADE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE
LEFT WITH THE SFC LOW TRACK VICE OUR OFFICIAL FORECAST AND WPC
TRACK. WENT WITH A MIXED GUIDANCE OPTION WEIGHTED TOWARDS THE
SLOWER ECMWF TIMING GIVEN THE AMPLIFIED OVERALL PATTERN BY LATER
TUE ACRS THE CONUS. THUS...THE POTENTIAL FOR A WINTER STORM EXISTS
FOR AT LEAST THE NRN/NW 1/2 OF THE CWA. AS COLD AS THE ANTECEDENT
AIRMASS WILL BE TUE MORNING...P-TYPE TUE MORNING WOULD BE MAINLY
SNOW (OR IP/ZR) OVER MOST OF THE REGION...GRADUALLY TRANSITIONING
TO ALL RAIN ACRS SE PORTIONS OF THE CWA...WHILE SNOW OR MIXED
PRECIP PERSISTS OVER NW PORTIONS (ESPECIALLY THE PIEDMONT)...WITH
A CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW BEFORE TAPERING PCPN OFF WED MORNING.
FOR NOW HAVE KEPT THINGS SIMPLE AND GENLY GONE WITH RAIN OR SNOW
AS P-TYPES AND WILL FINE TUNE THIS AS EVENT GETS CLOSER AND IF A
GREATER POTENTIAL FOR ZR DEVELOPS. WHILE THE POSITION OF THE SFC
HIGH SLIDING OFF THE MID ATL COAST IS NOT TYPICALLY FAVORABLE TO
LOCK COLD AIR IN PLACE FOR THE AKQ CWA...A LOT OF WARMING WILL BE
NECESSARY TO CHANGE P-TYPE TO ALL RAIN FOR NW SECTIONS OF THE CWA
GIVEN HOW COLD THINGS ARE INITIALLY. FOR NOW...HAVE GONE WITH
MAINLY SNOW THROUGHOUT THE EVENT INTO MIDDAY WED ACRS AREAS NW OF
RICHMOND... MAINLY RAIN AFTER THE INITIAL FROZEN PRECIP ACRS FAR
SE ZONES. AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE...AREAS IN BETWEEN INCLUDING
METRO RICHMOND WILL BE THE MOST CHALLENGING...AND FOR NOW HAVE
GONE WITH A CLIMO-TYPE SOLUTION WITH RAIN/SNOW LINE REACHING METRO
RICHMOND LATE TUE AFTN/EVENING THEN TRANSITIONING BACK TO MAINLY
SNOW LATER TUE NIGHT/WED MORNING. PLENTY OF TIME TO HASH OUT
DETAILS AS THIS POTENTIAL STORM IS STILL 4 DAYS OUT. HIGHS TUE IN
THE MID 30S W AND NW TO THE UPPER 40S/AROUND 50 F FAR SE. MORE
UNCERTAINTY WED...GFS WOULD SUGGEST A DRY COLD DAY WHILE THE ECMWF
HAS PRECIP LIKELY ALL DAY. WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS NEAR THE COAST
THROUGH 18Z...WITH CHC POPS FARTHER INLAND. STILL COLD WITH HIGHS
IN THE 30S INLAND TO THE UPPER 40S/AROUND 50 F NE NC COAST.
REMAINING COLD BUT DRYING OUT THU WITH HIGHS AGAIN ONLY IN THE 30S
AFTER LOWS IN THE TEENS TO THE 20S THU MORNING.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A WEAK AXIS OF HIGH PRESSURE IS STILL OVER THE AREA TO BEGIN THE
PERIOD...BUT IT WILL QUICKLY ERODE EARLY THIS MORNING AS THE NEXT
SURFACE COLD FRONT BEGINS TO APPROACH THE REGION. HAVE GENERALLY
CLEAR SKY ACROSS THE AREA...ALTHOUGH A SMALL AREA OF MID TO HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS AROUND 15K FT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN 6Z
AND 10Z. HAVE NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAF HOWEVER.
THE VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT 21Z ON SAT WITH THE
WINDS GRADUALLY INCREASING OUT OF THE SW DURING THE DAY WITH GUST
TO 25 KT POSSIBLE. THE COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE AROUND 00Z FOR
RIC/SBY...BUT ALONG THE FRONT EXPECT TO SEE SOME RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS
BECOMING ALL SNOW SHOWERS AS THE COLD AIR RACES INTO THE AREA.
THIS SHOWERS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AND AT THIS POINT...WILL PROBABLY
LEAD TO TEMPORARY VSBY/CEILING RESTRICTIONS. AT THIS TIME HAVE
JUST SHOWN A LOWERING OF THE CEILING...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK
AT TIMING WITH THE NEXT TAF PACKAGE.
BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NW SAT NIGHT THROUGH
SUN. EXPECT WINDS TO GUST TO 30 TO 40 KT SAT NIGHT INTO MIDDAY
SUN...POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS 45-50 KT AT KSBY. WINDS REMAIN ELEVATED
INTO SUN NIGHT BUT SPEEDS WILL DIMINISH TO 20-25 KT OR LESS.
POTENTIAL FOR WINTRY PRECIP INCREASES TUE INTO WED WITH A SLOW
MOVING SYSTEM TRACKING NE FROM THE GULF COAST.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA'S HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO EXPIRE OVER THE ENTIRE AKQ MARINE
AREA...EXCEPT FROM VA/NC BORDER TO CURRITUCK BEACH LIGHT(DUE TO
ELEVATED SEAS THAT WILL TAKE AWHILE LONGER TO DROP BELOW 5 FT). AS
WINDS DIMINISH, ICE ACCRETION OVER THE WATERS SHOULD BECOME LESS
OF AN OPERATIONAL ISSUE, AND THUS HAVE ALLOWED FZ SPRAY ADVISORIES
TO COME DOWN OVER THE WATERS FOR TONIGHT.
WINDS DIMINISH AND BACK TO THE SSW LT TNGT AND ERLY SAT...AND CONT
(WHILE INCRSG TO LOW END SCA) INTO SAT AFTN. EXPECT QUICK RAMP UP
TO WINDS ONCE AGAIN LT IN THE WKND. NEXT CLIPPER SYSTEM AND
ASSOCIATED ARCTIC FRONT CROSSES THE WTRS SAT NGT. THE WELL
ADVERTISED CAA SURGE BEHIND THIS SYSTEM STILL PROGGED BY ALL
GUIDANCE TO BE MARKEDLY STRONGER THAN THIS PAST EVENT LAST
EVENING, AIDED BY SIGNIFICANT PRES GRADIENT BETWEEN ~1040MB OVER
THE MIDWEST AND RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING ~967-970MB SFC PROGGED TO BE
OFF CAPE COD AFTER MIDNIGHT SAT NGT. A 10-12 HR WINDOW OF GALE
FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WATERS...AND THERE REMAINS AN
INCREASING LIKELIHOOD OF STORM FORCE WINDS OVER NORTHERN COASTAL
WATERS SAT NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING. HAVE RAISED GALE FOR ALL WATERS
LATE SAT AFTN (TO CAPTURE PERIOD OF PREFRONTAL W-SW SCA
SURGE)...AND HAVE HOISTED STORM WARNINGS N OF PARRAMORE ISLAND FOR
SAT NIGHT THROUGH MIDDAY SUNDAY. BUILD SEAS TO 7-12 FT IN THE
COASTAL ZONES, 12-15 FT FROM 20 NM FARTHER OFFSHORE.
OTHERWISE, EXPECT WIDESPREAD 30-40 KT SUSTAINED SPEEDS AFTER
SUNSET SAT NGT...W/ GUSTS IN 40-45 KT RANGE OVER BAY/SND AND 35-40
KT IN RIVERS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. WILL HAVE WAVES ON THE BAY
IN 4 TO 6 FT. WIND SPEEDS SLOW TO DIMINISH SUN...THEN XPCG MORE
BENIGN CONDITIONS EXPECTED MON NGT/TUE AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM. GIVEN
HOW COLD AND STRONG NW WNDS WILL BE...FREEZING SPRAY EVEN MORE OF
A CONCERN THAN W/ CURRENT EVENT...AND WILL BE RETAINED FOR LT SAT
NGT THROUGH SUN.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
CONTINUE TO COME UP WITH POTENTIAL FOR BLOWOUT TIDES SAT NIGHT AND
SUNDAY. WATER LEVELS TO APPROACH LOW WATER ADVISORY THRESHOLDS
SAT NIGHT ON THE ATLANTIC COAST SIDE AT OCEAN CITY AND
WACHAPREAGUE AND BY SUNDAY AND SUN NGT FOR SITES OVER THE WESTERN
CHES BAY...WHICH MAKES SENSE GIVEN FORECAST WINDS DURING THIS
PERIOD. CURRENTLY GETTING WATER LEVELS ABOUT 1 FT BELOW NORMAL AT
LEWISETTA, AND ABOUT HALF A FOOT BELOW NORMAL AT WINDMILL POINT ON
SUNDAY. STILL A BIT EARLY FOR ANY LOW WATER ADVISORIES, BUT WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR WITH THE NEXT FEW RUNS OF GUIDANCE.
