ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS NRN VA WITHIN LAST HR.
WILL KEEP ISOLD 20 POP FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT AS ACTIVITY
DEVELOPING IN WARM HUMID UNSTABLE AIR MASS. HOT AGAIN TOMORROW BUT
NOTICEABLY LOWER HUMIDITY LVLS. AMS FCST TO STAY CAPPED WITH AND
FCST K INDICES ALSO VERY LOW SO NO CHANCE FOR ANYTHING.
ROSA
PREVIOUS AFD...
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
WATER VAPOR LOOP DEPICTS A WEAKENING RIDGE WHICH IS RETREATING TO
THE SOUTHEAST CONUS...AS AN UPPER LOW PROPAGATES EAST-NORTHEAST INTO
THE GREAT LAKES REGION. SUBSTANTIAL DRY AIR ALOFT IS NOTED ACROSS
THE REGION...AS FAR WEST AS THE MIDWEST. ACARS 400-250MB WIND
OBSERVATIONS REVEAL A 80-100KT JET CARVES A TROUGH ACROSS THE NORTH
CENTRAL CONUS...WHILE ANTICYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT HAS INCREASED TO
40-60KT. 11Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A TROUGH OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST...WITH A SECOND TROUGH NOTED IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS. A
COLD FRONT STRETCHES SOUTH AND THEN WEST FROM A 1000MB CYCLONE
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN INTO THE PLAINS (WITH A PREFRONTAL
TROUGH/DIFFUSE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LOCATED FROM CENTRAL INDIANA
SOUTHWEST INTO ARKANSAS).
CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS...MUCH OF WHICH IS ALONG THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
EXPECTING CONVECTION FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO
DISSIPATE DURING THE EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DIURNAL INSTABILITY.
THE REMAINDER OF THE CONVECTION IN THE OHIO VALLEY SHOULD SUSTAIN
ITSELF AS IT IS BETTER SUPPORTED BY A WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES UPPER LEVEL LOW. BOTH THE MOVEMENT OF THE WAVE
AND 850-300MB THICKNESS FIELDS SUPPORT THIS AREA OF CONVECTION
PROPAGATING TO THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT AS IT BECOMES ELEVATED IN
NATURE...MOST LIKELY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. DID RETAIN LOW POPS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN FORECAST AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR PROPAGATION
UNCERTAINTY.
MUCH OF THE EVENING WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR WITH AN INCREASE IN UPPER
LEVEL CLOUDS AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES WITH THE APPROACH OF THE
CONVECTION (AND AS HEIGHTS ALOFT FALL). EXPECT SKIES TO CLEAR
TOMORROW MORNING AS ANY CONVECTION PASSES WELL TO OUR NORTHEAST.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 70S AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT.
THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW...WITH A
LOT OF SUBSIDENCE ALOFT EXPECTED BEHIND THE MIDLEVEL WAVE. THIS
SHOULD ENCOURAGE A CAPPING INVERSION...LEADING TO PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE. DESPITE COOLING TEMPERATURES ALOFT...DOWNSLOPE AND MUCH
LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS SHOULD ENCOURAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR 90
DEGREES. DEEPER MIXING AND A TIGHTENING PRESSURE/HEIGHT GRADIENT
WILL ALLOW FOR 20-30 MPH WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE AREA.

.AVIATION...AT 1830Z...SCT CU FIELD ALONG WITH HZ AT MOST TAF SITES.
ALL SITES WILL SEE CU FIELD ERODE AFTER 00Z TO SKC. WINDS EXPECTED
TO DECREASE TO AROUND 5 KTS AND BACK TO SW BTWN 21Z AND 00Z. THINK
AFTER 06Z THAT ALL TAF SITES WILL SEE CLOUD DEBRIS FROM OHIO VALLEY
CONVECTION. BIG QUESTION ABOUT IF AND HOW MUCH OF THIS MAKES IT INTO
THE AREA. CURRENT THINKING IS A DECK OF FLAT ALTOCU AROUND 8KFT AND
A CIRRUS DECK AT 25KFT. WINDS WILL INCR FROM THE WEST AND BECOME
GUSTY TO 20KTS AFTER 12Z. A FEW CU EXPECTED AGAIN AFTER 15Z WITH
HEATING. NO VIS RESTRICTIONS BESIDE NUISANCE HZ FOR THE TAF PERIOD.

.MARINE...HAVE RAISED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR MUCH OF TOMORROW.
GUSTY WESTERLY FLOW WILL PREVAIL WITH DEEP MIXING AND SUBSIDENCE
ACROSS THE REGION. WATER LEVELS ARE CURRENTLY AT PREDICTED VALUES.
