.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT...
FOLLOWED BY A STRONGER COLD FRONT MONDAY NIGHT. CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THEN
OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE MOVES TOWARD THE REGION
LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
DISTINCT WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH DENOTED ACROSS NRN CNTYS THIS
EVENING BEHIND AS A TROF / DP BNDRY THAT IS MOVG SE ACROSS THE FA.
MEANWHILE...DESPITE A DECENT TEMP DROP INTO THE 30S-L40S SINCE SS
SFC OBS/SAT LOOP SHOW THAT THE BKN CI STREAMING NE ACROSS THE
SERN HALF OF THE FA HAS KEPT READINGS FROM BOTTOMING OUT.

XPCT THE WINDS TO INCRS BEHIND THE BNDRY NEXT FEW HRS. THIS MAY
KEEP TEMPS FROM FALLING TO FAR FROM THEIR CRNT VALUES. STRNG CAA
SETS IN THRU OUT THE NITE. THNKG IS THAT THE WINDS WEST OF THE
CHES BAY DMNSH ALLOWING SFC TMPS TO DROP INTO THE U20S-L30S BY 12Z
XPCT 35-40 SERN CSTL AREAS UNDER MSTLY CLR TO PT CLDY SKIES. TUFF
CALL ON WHETHER THERE IS ENUF TIME AND AVBL MSTR FOR ANY BAY STREAMERS
TO DVLP BY 12Z DUE TO THE ONSET OF CAA...BUT WILL CONT TO INDCT MORE
MID LVL CLDNS IN THE GRIDS TOWARDS 12Z. ALL HIGH RES DATA KEEP IT
DRY THRU 15Z MON BUT BOTH THE NAM/GFS SHOW INCRG AMTS OF MSTR AVBL
TO TAP MON MORNING.

PVS DSCN:
850MB TEMPERATURES DROP TO -10 TO -14C DURING THE DAY MONDAY (-1
TO -2 ST DEV FROM NORMAL). A BAY STREAMER IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP
MONDAY MORNING...DUE TO MUCH COLDER AIR OVERSPREADING WATER TEMPS
~10C AND STRONG DYNAMICS ALOFT. SOME LIGHT PCPN IS POSSIBLE WITH
THE STREAMER OVER FAR SE VA. ATTM...THINK CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION OVER LAND AREAS REMAINS SMALL...AS WIND DIRECTION
BELOW 850MB NNW VS. THE N/NNE DIRECTION NEEDED TO SPREAD PRECIP
INTO HAMPTON ROADS/NE NC. OTHERWISE A PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY
MONDAY AND BREEZY CLOSER TO AND ALONG THE COAST...WITH A 15-25 MPH
NNW WIND. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPS SOME 15 DEGREES COLDER MONDAY...WIH
MID 30S N...TO LOW 40S FARTHER S. THIS WILL BE AFTER MORNING LOWS
IN THE MID/UPPER 20S NW...TO LOW/MID 30S SE (UPPER 30S NC OUTER
BANKS).

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A STRONG VORT MAX PIVOTS AROUND THE BASE OF THE MID/UPPER TROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...RESULTING IN A STRONGER PUSH OF COLD AIR MAINLY
BELOW 925MB. AGAIN...CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR A BAY
STREAMER AND SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WITH COLDER TEMPS. NNW WIND
DIRECTION IN THE LOWEST FEW THOUSAND FEET WILL AGAIN KEEP MOST
PRECIP ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST OR OFFHORE. OTHERWISE...MOSTLY
CLEAR AND MUCH COLDER MONDAY NIGHT. LOWS RANGE FROM THE UPPER
TEENS N/NW...TO 20-25 SE (LOCALLY UPPER 20S FOR COASTAL SE VA/NE
NC). WIND CHILLS POTENTIALLY DROP TO 5-10F ABOVE NW...AND 10 TO
15F SE BY LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. A 20-25 MPH NNW
WIND WITH GUSTS TO 30-40 MPH IS EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST MONDAY
NIGHT.

1035+MB SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC
TUESDAY. ANY LINGERING STREAMERS SHOULD DISSIPATE IN THE MORNING
AS THE WINDS DECREASE...AND COLD ADVECTION WANES. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL ONLY REACH THE MID 30S N TO UPPER 30S S DESPITE A SUNNY SKY.
THE HIGH REMAINS OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...WHICH SHOULD
RESULT IN THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE WINTER SEASON SO FAR. FORECAST
LOWS RANGE FROM THE MID/UPPER TEENS FOR INTERIOR PORTIONS...TO
20-25 FAR SE (AGAIN LOCALLY UPPER 20S FOR COASTAL SE VA/NE NC).

HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFFSHORE ON WEDNESDAY...RIDGING WWD/WSWWD
INTO THE REGION. ENE/E FLOW ACROSS THE SE SHOULD ALLOW FOR MORE
CLOUDINESS THIS AREA...WITH A PARTLY SUNNY DAY EXPECTED.
ELSEWHERE...WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE MOSTLY SUNNY...WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES MODERATING INTO THE 40S MOST AREAS...WITH LOW 50S SE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO DEVELOP OVER MUCH OF THE WESTERN AND
CENTRAL CONUS THRU THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER
THE WRN ATLANTIC. SRN STREAM TO REMAIN ACTIVE BRINGING INCREASING
CHANCES FOR PRECIP BACK TO THE AREA BY FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS SE CANADA THURS...RESULTING IN A CAD WEDGE
OVER THE LOCAL AREA AND A COASTAL TROUGH ALONG THE SE COAST. ONSHORE
FLOW AND RECOVERING LOW LEVEL TEMPS/THICKNESSES WILL RESULT IN
WARMER TEMPS THURS...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S NW TO AROUND 60 SE.
THEREAFTER...SRN STREAM ENERGY LIFTS FROM THE SRN PLAINS INTO THE
MIDWEST THURS NIGHT AND FRI. ASSOCIATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTS
INTO THE MIDWEST. HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE SE STATES WILL INDUCE A WAVE
OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE COASTAL BOUNDARY AS MOISTURE RETURNS TO
THE REGION. PRECIP CHANCES RAMP UP THURS NIGHT OVER THE SW...WITH
LIKELY POPS INTO CENTRAL VA FRI (CHANCE ELSEWHERE). LOW PRESSURE
LIFTS OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST INTO SAT...WITH A POTENTIAL DRYING
TREND SAT AND SAT NIGHT. DUE TO UNCERTAINTY...WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS DURING THAT TIMEFRAME FOR NOW. ANOTHER SRN STREAM
SHORTWAVE EJECTS FROM THE SRN PLAINS INTO THE TN VALLEY SAT
NIGHT...WITH ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE PROGGED TO DEVELOP OVER
THE NRN GULF. SPATIAL AND TIMING DIFFERENCES ARISE IN THE GUIDANCE
THEREAFTER...AS THE GFS LIFTS THE SFC LOW UP THE SE COAST AND THE
ECMWF LIFTS THE SFC LOW INTO THE OH VALLEY. SIGNALS ARE FAVORABLE
FOR SFC LOW DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR PRECIP
OVER THE REGION...SO HAVE BROAD BRUSHED CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE
REGION SUN INTO SUN NIGHT. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN A FEW DEGS
ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS...SO PRECIP WILL STAY IN THE LIQUID FORM.
