AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
624 AM EDT THU APR 7 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM WILL ACCOMPANY A COLD FRONT AS
IT PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION FRIDAY
NIGHT...DRAGGING A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION SUNDAY
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE NEXT FRONT CROSSES THE REGION LATE
TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LATEST GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS ANOMALOUS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
OVER THE ERN CONUS THIS MORNING. AT THE SFC...~990MB LOW PRESSURE
HAS LOCATED OVER THE ST LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY...WITH AN ATTENDANT
COLD FRONT EXTENDING SWD ALONG THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. MOST OF THE
SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...BUT SHOWERS NOW
SPREADING INTO THE ERN VA PIEDMONT. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO INCREASE
EARLY THIS MORNING...REACHING THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR BY RUSH
HOUR AS THE FRONT PUSHES EAST AND INTERACTS WITH STRONG RETURN
FLOW/MOISTURE AND STRONG HEIGHT FALLS AND INCREASING WINDS ALOFT.
GUIDANCE INDICATES MARGINAL INSTABILITY (MLCAPE AOB 500J/KG) ACROSS
THE REGION MID TO LATE MORNING TO GO ALONG WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF
40 TO 45 KT AS THE FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION. WHILE WIDESPREAD
THUNDER IS NOT EXPECTED...DO ANTICIPATE SOME EMBEDDED THUNDER AS THE
LINE OF SHOWERS PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION. BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDER
WILL BE OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN TO THE COAST. MODERATE TO LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED WITH PWATS AROUND 1 INCH AND STRONG
FORCING. BREEZY THIS MORNING WITH SLY WINDS GUSTING TO 25 TO 35 MPH
(STRONGEST WINDS SE VA/NE NC). WINDS BECOME WLY BEHIND THE
FRONT...GUSTING TO 25 TO 30 MPH.

SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT PUSH OFFSHORE EARLY AFTERNOON.
STRONG VORTICITY MAXIMA ASSOCIATED WITH THE POTENT UPPER TROUGH
DROPS INTO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. HI RES/CONVECTION ALLOWING
MODELS INDICATE AFTERNOON SCATTERED SHOWERS THANKS TO LINGERING
MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND STEEP LAPSE RATES FROM THE PIEDMONT INTO
CENTRAL VA AND THE MD ERN SHORE. HAVE INCREASED AFTERNOON POPS TO
CHANCE CATEGORY TO ACCOUNT FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS. TEMPS WARM INTO
THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 IN THE SE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. MID 60S
CENTRAL VA AND LOW 60S NW. COOL ALONG THE COAST WITH HIGHS IN THE
50S TO LOW 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BUILDS OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES WELL OFFSHORE. ADDITIONAL NRN STREAM ENERGY
PROGGED TO DIG OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGION. AN
ASSOCIATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND COLD FRONT DROP INTO THE OH
VALLEY/MIDWEST. COOL/DRY AIR MASS ADVECTS INTO THE REGION TONIGHT
AND FRIDAY...ALONG WITH WLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW. THE RESULT WILL BE
COOL/DRY/BREEZY (WLY GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 MPH) AND PARTLY CLOUDY
CONDITIONS FRIDAY. HIGHS WARMING INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S INLAND TO
LOW 60S SE VA/NE NC. LOW PRESSURE TRACKS EWD INTO PA FRI NIGHT AS
THE COLD FRONT DROPS INTO THE LOCAL AREA. POTENT UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE DROPS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION AS WELL...BUT MOISTURE
WILL BE A LIMITING FACTOR. PWATS EXPECTED TO BE AOB A QUARTER OF AN
INCH INLAND. WLY/DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL ALSO PREVENT SHOWERS FROM
DEVELOPING FROM THE PIEDMONT INTO CENTRAL VA. SLIGHTLY BETTER
MOISTURE EXPECTED FROM THE NRN NECK TO THE ERN SHORE AND SE VA/NE
NC. ENOUGH FOR CHANCE POPS TO GO ALONG WITH STRONG UVM. THERMAL
PROFILES AND CRITICAL THICKNESSES ARE EXPECTED TO BE WARM ENOUGH FRI
NIGHT TO KEEP PRECIP ALL LIQUID. WILL MENTION RA/SN FOR THE MD ERN
SHORE...BUT NO ACCUMULATION EXPECTED. COLDER/DRIER AIR MASS ADVECTS
INTO THE REGION SAT AS H85 TEMPS DROP TO AROUND -8 TO -12C (-2 STD
DEV). HIGHS SAT WARM INTO THE MID/UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S AFTER MORNING
LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 30S SAT MORNING. LOW PRESSURE SLIDES OFF THE
NE COAST AND DEEPENS AS STRONGEST HEIGHT FALLS PUSH OFFSHORE. STRONG
UPPER LEVEL FORCING AND THERMAL ADVECTION ALONG WITH MID LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN ONGOING CHANCE POPS NRN NECK TO THE ERN
SHORE SAT. PWATS PROGGED AROUND ONE HALF INCH. BUFR SOUNDINGS
INDICATE A DRY/WELL MIXED SUB CLOUD LAYER ACROSS THE PIEDMONT INTO
CENTRAL VA (WLY FLOW)...INHIBITING ANY PRECIP. SKY AVERAGES
PARTLY CLOUDY SW TO MOSTLY CLOUDY/CLOUDY NE. BETTER CHANCE FOR
RA/SN SAT EVENING AS STRONG CAA LOWERS TEMPS AND CRITICAL
THICKNESSES. NO ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED ATTM.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD CHARACTERIZED BY PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
OVER THE EASTERN CONUS, WITH STRONG CAA (NNW WINDS) YIELDING COLD
(PERHAPS RECORD COLD) TEMPS SAT NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY AS 1028+MB
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST.

ANY LINGERING RA/SN SHRAS END EARLY SAT EVENING, WITH CLEARING INTO
SUNDAY AS THE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION. HAVE GONE TOWARD THE COOL
END OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE SAT NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING WITH ANOTHER
NIGHT OF WIDESPREAD FREEZING TEMPS EXPECTED. EARLY MORNING LOW TEMPS
IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S INLAND (LOWER 30S AT THE COAST).

MODELS COMING INTO AGREEMENT THAT EAST COAST TROUGHINESS WILL
SLOWLY EVOLVE, WITH TEMPS MODERATING SLOWLY THROUGH THE PERIOD.
THICKNESS TOOLS AND LONG RANGE GUIDANCE SHOW TEMPS GRADUALLY
MODERATING FROM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY, WARMING FROM THE U40S TO
MID 50S SUNDAY BACK INTO THE LOWER 70S BY TUESDAY.

QUASI-ZONAL FLOW POST FRONTAL ALLOW FOR RAIN CHANCES TO BE
ESSENTIALLY NIL SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...INCREASING LATE MON NIGHT
AND TUESDAY AHEAD OF NEXT COLD FRONT, WHICH CROSSES INTO THE AREA
TUESDAY NIGHT. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS LOOK MINIMALLY UNSTABLE AT
THIS TIME, SO HAVE HELD OUT THUNDER WORDING FOR THE MOMENT. FRONT
MAY BECOME HUNG UP OVER SOUTHEASTERN TIER OF THE AREA INTO THE
COASTAL CAROLINAS INTO WED, SO LINGERED A LOW POP THERE. KEPT WED
DRY OVER THE REST OF THE AREA FOR NOW. HOWEVER, EPS AND GEFS BOTH
FAVOR RE- AMPLIFICATION OF THE EAST COAST TROUGH FOR THE MID TO
LATE WEEK PERIOD, WHICH COULD PORTEND TO A RETURN TO COOLER WX AND
NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR "APRIL SHOWERS" AS WE GET INTO THE
LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
