AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
222 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
VERY HOT AND MODERATELY HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE TODAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS ANCHORED OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.
MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY INTO
FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
AVERAGE.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 1 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
BIG QUESTION IS THE CHC FOR ANY SHRA/TSRA TO DVLP LATER THIS
AFTN-EVE. THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF CIN (CAP) HOLDING OVER THE
REGION AND NEW GUIDANCE IS SPITTING VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
PRECIP OVER THE AREA...BUT WILL ERR IN THE SIDE OF CAUTION AS ANY
STORMS THAT IS ALLOWED TO IGNITE...WILL BE ABLE TO FIRE UP/DVLP
QUICKLY. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.
LOCALLY HVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AS MOST OF THESE STORMS
WILL BE SLOW MOVERS. BEST WINDOW OF ANY OPPORTUNITY WILL BE FROM
20Z-04Z.
ANOTHER CONCERN IS SMOKE FROM ONGOING FIRES JUST SOUTH OF THE
ALBEMARLE SOUND. LATEST HYSPLIT SHOWS SMOKE PLUME TO MOVE INTO THE
FR SE PORTION OF THE CWA LATER THIS EVE AND CONTINUE INTO PORTIONS
OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BEFORE WINDS SHIFT TO THE NNE BEHIND
FRONTAL PASS. THINKING BEST CHC OF VSBY RESTRICTIONS WILL BE ALONG
AND EAST OF ROUTE 17 (NC AND VA) AND OVER INTO EXTREME SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE ERN SHORE. WILL BE ISSUING AN SPS LATER TODAY FOR
THE THREAT OF SMOKE (ALREADY HAD MENTION OF IT EARLIER THIS AM IN
THE HWO).
&&
.SHORT TERM /1 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...

SIMILAR SETUP THU AS SFC HIGH BUILDS TO OUR NORTH...WITH HIGH TEMPS IN
MID TO UPR 80S INLAND AND LWR 80S ON THE COAST. PTLY TO MSTLY
SUNNY...BUT RETAINED 20% CHC FOR AFTN/EVENG TSTMS ACRS EXTREME SW
ZONES...ALTHOUGH MODELS ARE TRENDING MORE STABLE SO MAY BE ABLE TO
REMOVE POPS ALTOGETHER IF TRENDS CONTINUE.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPR LVL RDG...AND SFC HI PRES BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION FROM THE N
TO BEGIN THE PD...RESULTING IN MAINLY DRY WX. A DEVELOPING UPR
LVL TROF OVER THE PLAINS WL BE THE NEXT WX MAKER FOR THE

POSSIBLE TSRA AT ORF/ECG. SMOKE FROM HYDE CO FIRE TO DRIFT N OF
ALBEMARLE SND/INTO HAMPTON ROADS THIS AFTN/EVNG WITH SRLY WINDS.
XPCT MVFR VSBYS WITH THE SMOKE.
PUSHED BACK TIMING OF POSSIBLE SHRA/TSRA TO TONIGHT PER SLOWER MODEL
