AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
940 PM EDT SAT APR 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION ON SUNDAY. THE HIGH WILL MOVE
OFFSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT. HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CURRENT ANALYSIS INDICATING STRONG SFC LOW PRESSURE ~993 MB OVER
NORTHERN NJ...DEEPENING IN RESPONSE TO A POTENT MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TRACKING THROUGH EASTERN OH/WESTERN PA. MAIN SFC COLD FRONT IS
LAGGING BACK WITH THE UPPER TROUGH...AND IS NOW SITUATED ALONG THE
SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS. NOTING STRONG/GUSTY WEST WINDS
THERE...WIDESPREAD GUSTS TO 30-40 KT IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT.
FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO CHANGES TO HEADLINES AND ONLY
MINIMAL CHANGES TO SENSIBLE WX CONDITIONS. WILL MAINTAIN ~30% POPS
ACRS THE MD ERN SHORE AND ~20% POPS ACRS THE NORTHERN NECK INTO
THE VA ERN SHORE FROM 03-06Z AS THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH. MAIN
CONCERN WILL BE WIND...AND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT ALONG THE
NRN NECK/COASTAL AREAS AND ERN SHORE WHERE SEVERAL HRS WORTH OF
GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH ARE EXPECTED. ELSEWHERE...A BRIEF BURST OF
WINDS GUSTING TO 40-45 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH AND JUST BEHIND
THE FRONT BUT THE DURATION SHOULD BE TOO SHORT TO WARRANT AN
ADVISORY (THIS HAS BEEN ADVERTISED IN THE HWO AND WILL HANDLE
WITH A SHORT-FUSED SPS IN THESE AREAS AS NEEDED). THE MOST
PROBABLE TIME FOR THIS WOULD BE SOMETIME WITHIN THE 04-07Z HOURS.

TEMPERATURES FALL IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH LOWS RANGING FROM
THE MID/UPPER 30S OVER THE PIEDMONT...TO THE LOW/MID 40S ALONG THE
COAST. A FEW LOWER 30S WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE FAR NW COUNTY BUT
ANY POCKETS OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL BE BRIEF.

SUNDAY WILL BE SUNNY AND MUCH COOLER THAN RECENT DAYS. IT WILL BE
WINDY ON THE EASTERN SHORE AND NEAR THE COAST WHERE NW WINDS WILL
AVERAGE 20-30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40-45 MPH. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH
BY LATE AFTERNOON. INLAND AREAS WILL HAVE WINDS OF 10-15 MPH WITH
GUSTS 20-30 MPH THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
RANGE FROM THE UPR 40S ON THE LOWER MD EASTERN SHORE TO MID AND UPR
50S ACROSS INTERIOR SRN VA AND NC.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN WILL REMAIN PROGRESSIVE WITH FAST MOVING
SYSTEMS ALONG THE US/CANADIAN BORDER INTO MONDAY. SHORTWAVE RIDGING
WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM
THE UPR 30S TO LWR 40S. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES TO THE SOUTH OF THE
AREA MONDAY WITH READINGS WARMING TO THE LWR 70S EXCEPT MID TO UPR
60S ON THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE AND ALONG THE COAST.

HEIGHTS FALL MONDAY AHEAD OF YET ANOTHER POTENT TROUGH/CLIPPER
SYSTEM. A 30-50 PERCENT POP FOR SHOWERS EXTENDS ACROSS NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA INTO THE LOWER MD EASTERN SHORE MONDAY AFTN. AS
THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH...EXTENDED CHC POPS ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY
EVENING WITH LIKELY POPS ON THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE. PCPN ENDS FROM
THE WEST BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. LOWS MONDAY NIGHT ARE FORECAST TO
RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 30S IN THE NRN PIEDMONT TO AROUND 40 IN
THE SE.

TEMPERATURES TURN EVEN COLDER TUESDAY. DESPITE SUNSHINE...NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL RESULT IN LITTLE IN THE WAY OF DOWNSLOPING AND HIGHS ARE
FORECAST TO ONLY REACH MID TO UPR 40S EXCEPT AROUND 50 SW PORTIONS
AND INLAND NC COUNTIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NEAR NORMAL OR BELOW NORMAL TEMPS EXPECTED ACRS THE REGION FOR THE
EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH DRY WX AT THE BEGINNING AND END...AND A

HI TEMPS WILL BE IN THE MID 50S TO LWR 60S WED...IN THE 60S
THU...AND IN THE 50S FRI AND SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE RAIN HAS ENDED OVER THE AREA AND SKIES ARE CLEARING. ALL TAF
SITES EXPECTED TO BE VFR BY 02Z. A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS
THE REGION TONIGHT...WITH W TO NW WINDS INCREASING TO 15 TO 25
KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 TO 35 KNOTS...35 TO 45 KNOTS EXPECTED OVER
THE ERN SHORE. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SUN AFTN AS HIGH PRES BUILDS
OVER THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE AND VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL
INTO MONDAY...BEFORE THE NEXT COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
LATE THIS AFTN...INITIAL COLD FRONT WAS OFF THE CST...WHILE A
SECONDARY FRONT WAS PUSHING INTO CNTRL VA AND NC. THIS SECOND
FRONT WILL MOVE ACRS THE WTRS THIS EVENG/TNGT...RESULTING IN
GALE CONDITIONS AS STRONG WNW WINDS USHER IN A VERY DRY AIRMASS.
SUSTAINED W TO NW WINDS OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED (25 TO 30
KT RIVERS/SOUND)...WITH GUSTS OF 40 TO 45 KNOTS. THERE COULD BE A
FEW STORM FORCE GUSTS OVER THE NRN CSTL WATERS. SEAS BLD TO 6 TO
8 FT. GALE CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO SUN MORNG DIMINISHING FIRST
IN THE RIVERS/SOUND...THEN BAY/SRN COASTAL WATERS LATE MORNG/EARLY
AFTN AND NRN CSTL WATERS MID AFTN. HI PRES BLDS INTO THE REGION
SUN AFTN...ALLOWING FOR SUB-SCA CONDITIONS LATE SUN. SEAS SUBSIDE
SUN...DROPPING BELOW 5 FT BY SUN EVENG.

HI PRES SLIDES OFF THE SE CST SUN NIGHT...WITH FLOW RETURNING TO
THE SW AOB 15 KT. HOWEVER...SUB-SCA CONDITIONS WILL BE SHORT
LIVED...AS THE NEXT REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR APPROACHES FM
THE NW. SWLY FLOW INCREASES TO 15 TO 25 KT MON. SEAS BLD TO 4 TO
7 FT. THE CLIPPER FRONT DROPS OVER THE WATERS MON EVENG...WITH
ANOTHER PERIOD OF SOLID SCA TO LOW END GALE CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
HI PRES BLDS OVER THE REGION TUE AFTN INTO WED MORNG.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG
COLD FRONT. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP
TO 20-25%...WITH 25-35% ALONG THE COAST. THE WIND IS EXPECTED TO
BE STRONGEST ACROSS THE EASTERN SHORE AND NEAR THE COAST.
WIDESPREAD RECENT RAINFALL ESPECIALLY SATURDAY AND ITS EFFECT ON
FUEL MOISTURE WILL MINIMIZE FIRE POTENTIAL.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STRONG NW WNDS DEVELOPING LATER TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN SHARP
DECREASE (INCREASING MAGNITUDE OF NEGATIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES/BLOW-
OUT TIDES). HOWEVER...STRONGEST SURGE OF WIND OCCURS FROM 06-12Z
AND THIS GENLY LOOKS TO COINCIDE WITH HIGH TIDE FOR OCEAN SITES
AND THE LOWER BAY. THUS...EVEN WITH -1.5 TO 2 FT NEGATIVE
DEPARTURES...A LOW WATER ADSY WILL NOT BE NEEDED UNLESS THESE
DEPARTURES PERSIST THROUGH THE LATE MORNING LOW TIDE CYCLE.
SURGE GUIDANCE AND VIMS DATA OVERALL SHOWS THE DEPARTURES
DIMINISHING BY THAT TIME. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...BUT MOST DATA
SUGGESTS THE BEST CHC FOR A LOW WATER ADSY WOULD NOT BE UNTIL MON
AFTN INTO MON NIGHT.
