NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 3:08 PM EST, 1 hour 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 408 PM EDT SUN JUN 1 2008 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...THEN DROP SOUTH OF CAPE HATTERAS MONDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK OVER THE AREA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...THEN SLIDES OFF THE COAST ON TUESDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE NORTH ON WEDNESDAY...THEN DROPS INTO THE AREA THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... THE PRIMARY FCST FOCUS IN THE NEAR TERM WILL BE ON DEVELOPING CONVECTION ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE WEAK/FLAT MID LVL SHORTWAVE AND ASSCD SFC TROUGH. LATEST SPC ANALYSIS PER SPC WOULD SUGGEST MOST FVRBL ENVIRONMENT FOR TSTMS EXISTS S OF A FARMVILLE-RICHMOND-MELFA LINE...BASICALLY S OF THE TROUGH WHERE SFC DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE LOWER 60S. STILL...STRONGER LLVL WRLY COMPONENT TODAY AND ASSCD DOWNSLOPE DRYING IS HAVING AN EFFECT IN LIMITING BOTH THE STRENGTH AND COVERAGE OF CONVECTION...GIVEN THE LOWER CAPES AND WEAKER LLVL CONVERGENCE. THIS IS TRUE EVEN S OF THE TROUGH...AS LOWER 90S/LOWER 60S T/TD SFC PROFILE YIELDS CAPES BTWN 1500-2000 J/KG TOPS...WHILE LLVL MSTR/THETA-E CONVERGENCE REMAINS FAIRLY WEAK. WILL MAINTAIN HIGHEST POPS (30-50%) OVER OUR SRN VA/NERN NC AREAS... CONSISTENT WITH SPCS SLIGHT RISK REGION...GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED SCATTERED COVERAGE BASED ON RADAR TRENDS AND SHORT RANGE PROGS. ELSEWHERE TO THE N...EVEN WEAKER LLVL CONVERGENCE IS NOTED...WHILE SFC DEWPOINTS GENERALLY BELOW 60F ARE RESTRICTING MUCAPES TO ABOUT 1000-1500 J/KG TOPS. OVER THESE REGIONS ANTICIPATE ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION IF AT ALL LATE THIS AFTN AND INTO THE EVENING. LATE TONIGHT...LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING ALONG WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN WILL DIMINISH RAIN CHANCES CONSIDERABLY FROM N TO S. HAVE MAINTAINED A SLIGHT (ISOLATED) CHC OVER NERN NC THROUGH THE EARLY AM HOURS...GIVEN THE CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 5-10F LOWER THAN LAST NIGHT AS DRIER AIR BUILDS IN FROM THE N. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... SFC HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES CENTERED ACROSS THE MID ATLC REGION ON MONDAY. BY THE AFTN...THE WEAK HIGH WILL BECOME CENTERED ACROSS THE COOLER WATERS OFF THE MID ATLC COAST. THIS WILL BE A FAVORABLE SETUP FOR SEA/BAY BREEZE DEVELOPMENT AND COOLEST (COMFORTABLE) TEMPS ALONG THE COATS. EVEN INLAND...BROAD SCALE ONSHORE (NE) FLOW WILL RESULT IN A COOLER/DRIER DAY THAN WEVE SEEN RECENTLY. DRY AIRMASS WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES MON NIGHT WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP TO 55-60 FOR MOST AREAS. TEMPS WILL AGAIN MODERATE BACK INTO THE MID 80S FOR MOST AREAS ON TUE WITH THE DEEPENING SW FLOW AS THE HIGH CENTER SHIFTS FARTHER OFFSHORE. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL THROUGH TUE NIGHT...AS THE COLD FRONT (OR ANY OTHER TRIGGER FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION) REMAINS WELL N OF OUR REGION. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS WITH PREVIOUS FCST...CONFIDENCE REMAINS A BIT LOW IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. TUE THRU THU HAVE WEAK SHORT WAVES IN STRONG MID TO UPR LVL FLOW...AS UPR LVL RIDGE SLOLY BLDS OVER THE MID ATLC. HAVE A CHC PCP THRU THIS PD WITH BEST CHC WED AND WED NIGHT...AND AGAIN THU NIGHT. WITH RAPID FLOW AND WEAK WAVES...HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING OF THE PRECIP. TEMPS MOSTLY SEASONAL THRU THE PD...WITH A SLIGHT WARMING TREND TUE THRU THU AS RIDGE BLDS. TEMPS START OUT IN THE L-M80S...EXCEPT FOR U70S NEAR THE COAST. BY THU EXPECT TEMPS IN THE M-U80S INLAND AND NEAR 80 ALONG THE COAST. NOT MUCH CHANGE IN TEMP THU THRU SAT AS UPR LVL RIDGE STAYS ANCHORED OFF THE MID ATLC. LTL IN THE WAY OF AVAILABLE MOISTURE OR CONVECTIVE TRIGGERS...AND HAVE KEPT SCHC TO CHC PRECIP FOR THU AND FRI. && .AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
