AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
440 PM EST TUE NOV 29 2005
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...
WILL BE DEALING WITH MINOR ISSUES IN THE SHORT TERM...AS TRANQUIL WX
AND SEASONABLE TEMPS RETURN TO THE AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
CURRENTLY...N-S ORIENTED COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH E OF THE MID
ATLC COAST...WHILE WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OVER THE MID/LWR
MS VLY. LOW-MID LVL CAA BEHIND THE FRONT IS RATHER WEAK...GIVEN THE
SHALLOW DEPTH OF LOW LEVEL NRLY FLOW AND CONTINUED SW FLOW ABOVE 850
MB. FURTHERMORE...SOME DEGREE OF DOWNSLOPING WARMING/DRYING HAS ALSO
KEPT TEMPS AT OR NEAR THEIR MAX READINGS THROUGH MID AFTN.
TONIGHT...CLOUD COVER FCST...AND IMPACT ON MIN TEMPS...WILL BE A BIT
TRICKY CONSIDERING THE LOW LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING IN. BOTH THE GFS/NAM
SHOW A SHALLOW POCKET OF LOW LEVEL/MARINE LAYER MOISTURE ADVECTING
INTO FAR SERN VA/NERN NC WITH THE NE FLOW. MEANWHILE...EXIT REGION
OF THE FAST APPROACHING JET STREAK (CURRENTLY OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS) IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE TN AND LWR OH VLYS BY DAYBREAK.
INCREASING LFQ OR LEFT EXIT REGION FORCING AND SUBSEQUENT WAA ALOFT
WILL LIKELY SPREAD SOME MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE INTO OUR REGION
TOWARD SUNRISE. MODEL TIME-HEIGHT SECTIONS AND SOUNDINGS SHOW MUCH
OF THE CLOUDINESS LATE TO BE OF THE HIGH/THIN VARIETY...SO MOSTLY
CLEAR WILL SUFFICE OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...WITH
THE LIKELIHOOD OF AT LEAST SOME MARINE STRATO-CU...HAVE WORDED
BECOMING PTLY CLOUDY OVER AREAS ALONG/NEAR THE MID ATLC COAST.
THURSDAY...BROAD UPPER JET STREAK WILL LIFT NE AND INTO THE MID ATLC
REGION...IN A POSITION WHERE THE BULK OF OUR AREA WILL EXPERIENCE
INCREASING UPPER CONVERGENCE AND LOW-MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE AS THE DAY
WARES ON. DO EXPECT A FEW LAYERS OF MAINLY HIGH/THIN CLOUDS...
MAINLY OVER NRN PTNS CLOSER TO UPPER JET AXIS...THOUGH NOTHING THAT
WOULD PRECLUDE A PARTLY CLOUDY FCST. LOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN ON THE
DRY SIDE...AIDED BY THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKING MORE WRLY (DOWNSLOPE).
TEMPS AGAIN WILL BE NEAR NORMAL...LOWER-MID 50S.
FRIDAY...FLAT UPPER RIDGING BUILDS IN AS THE UPPER JET STREAK/
VORT LOBE CONTINUES TO LIFT NE. AT THE SURFACE...THE HIGH WILL
CONTINUE TO BUILD IN FROM THE SW. CLOUD COVER WILL BE MORE SCARCE
WITH THE VRY DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE AT ALL LEVELS. TEMPS AGAIN WILL BE
NEAR NORMAL...MAYBE A DEGREE OR TWO LOWER THAN TODAY THOUGH STILL
LOW-MID 50S FOR MOST. THIS DESPITE THE COOLER 950-850 MB REGIME AS
COMPARED TO THURSDAY...AS THE DOWNSLOPE WARMING (DEEPER MIXING) WILL
OFFSET.
&&
.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
SATURDAY...LOW LEVEL RIDGE SLIDES TOWARD THE MID ATLC COAST...WHILE
LOW PRESSURE DROPS INTO THE LOWER MS VLY. AS THIS NEXT SYSTEM BEGINS
TO TAP GULF MOISTURE...WHILE THE STEERING FLOW ALOFT REMAINS STRONG
(ZONAL) FROM WSW-ENE...WOULD EXPECT THICKENING MID/UPPER LEVEL WAA
CLOUDINESS TO SPREAD QUICKLY INTO THE FCST AREA DURING THE DAY. FOR
NOW HAVE OPTED TO KEEP RAIN CHANCES OUT OF THE FCST DURING THE DAY
HWVR...GIVEN THE VERY DRY AIRMASS REMAINING IN PLACE AT LOW LEVELS.
SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY...GFS/NAM ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH THE
TRACK OF THE LOW AND DEEPER MOISTURE THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.
MEANWHILE...GFS HAS SHOWN MORE CONSISTENCY WITH THIS INITIAL SYSTEM
SAT-SUN WHEN COMPARED TO PROJECTIONS FOR NEXT MON. SO...CONFIDENCE
FOR BETTER THAN 50% RAIN CHANCES REMAINS HIGH FOR SAT NIGHT INTO (AT
LEAST) EARLY SUN. IN TERMS OF TYPE...THE PROJECTED TRACK AND LOW
LEVEL THERMAL/THICKNESS REGIME WOULD POINT TO RAIN IN ALL AREAS.
MONDAY/TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE DURING THIS PERIOD REMAINS ON
THE LOW SIDE. GFS HAS EXHIBITED TERRIBLE RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY
SINCE THE 06/12Z RUNS YESTERDAY. MEANWHILE...THE ECMWF HAD A
DEVELOPING COASTAL SYSTEM ALONG THE MID ATLC COAST ON MON WITH
YESTERDAYS 12Z RUN...THEN TRENDED TOWARD A FLATTER UPPER
TROUGH/WEAKER AND FARTHER OFFSHORE SURFACE LOW WITH LAST NIGHTS 00Z
RUN. THE LATEST (12Z) RUN MEANWHILE HAS THE LOW DEVELOPING/DEEPENING
AND TRACKING IN THE SAME FASHION AS YDAYS 12Z RUN. FOR NOW...HAVE
CONTINUED WITH THE POPS DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT WITH THE
AVAILABILITY OF COLD AIR STILL A BIG QUESTION MARK (AT LEAST WITH
THE GFS TRENDS)...WILL OPT FOR A LIQUID FORECAST FOR NOW.
