AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
425 PM EDT WED JUL 9 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT...THEN
STALL NEAR THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THE
FRONT WILL DROP A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA ON
FRIDAY...AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST
BUILDS ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE OVER THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND. THE NEXT COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
FIZZLING NOCTURNAL MCS ACTIVITY (EXTENSIVE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS)
QUICKLY GAVE WAY TO ADDITIONAL WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY DURING THE LATE
MORNING AND AFTN HOURS...IN LIGHT OF SUBTLE DYNAMICAL FORCING (POCKET
OF MCV-INDUCED LOW-MID LVL QVECTOR CONVERGENCE). THE FORCING HAS
BEEN ABLE TO OVERCOME THE RELATIVELY STABLE LOWER LAYERS...THUS
MAINTAING THE EXTENSIVE RAIN SHIELD THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTN.
THUS...OUTSIDE OF FAR SWRN PTNS OF THE FCST AREA...THE RAIN-
COOLED LLVL AIRMASS FROM EARLIER TODAY HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN MUCH OF
A CHANCE TO DESTABILIZE.
RECENT CLEARING HAS ALLOWED MUCAPES TO CLIMB BTWN 2000-3000 J/KG
OVER W-SW PTNS OF THE AREAS (PER SPC ANALYSIS). THIS IS THE REGION
THAT WOULD HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR ADDITIONAL STRONG/POTENTIALLY
SVR STORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN/EVENING...
AS EVIDENCED BY THE DEVELOPING LINES OF CONVECTION IN WRN VA AND
WRN NC. 500 MB FLOW (AND 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR) CLOSER TO 30-35 KTS
TODAY WOULD SUPPORT BETTER SHEAR PARAMETERS AND AN INCREASED RISK
FOR SVR WX...AGAIN THOUGH MUCH WILL DEPEND ON THE AMNT OF
ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZATION BEFORE SUNSET.
LATER TONIGHT...DESPITE THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...HAVE
LINGERED 30-40% RAIN PROBS ACROSS THE FCST AREA (HIGHEST ERN PTNS)
AS THE SFC FRONT (MECHANISM FOR CONTINUED LLVL MOIST CONVERGENCE)
CONTINUES TO PRESS INTO THE MID ATLC REGION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
HIGHEST POPS WILL BE FOCUSED OVER SERN VA AND NERN NC THU AND FRI...
CLOSEST TO THE SLOW MOVING (EVENTUAL STALLED) SFC FRONTAL BNDRY.
HAVE ALSO UPPED CHANCES TO >50% TMRW AFTN AND EARLY EVENING OVER
THESE SERN SECTIONS... AS THE LLVLS DESTABILIZE AND THE FRONT
SERVES AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.
OTHERWISE...N OF THE FRONT../DRIER AIR WILL SLOWLY BUILD IN FROM
THE N THU THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS FLAT UPPER LEVEL DNVA/SUBSIDENCE
ON FRI GIVES WAY TO DEEP LAYER RIDGING (MID/UPPER RIDGE AXIS OVER
THE AREA) BY THE WEEKEND.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WHILE THE MAJORITY OF THE WEEKEND STILL LOOKS DRY...THE COLD FRONT
WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY PROGGED FOR LATER ON MON, MAY NOW ARRIVE A
LITTLE EARLIER...PER THE LATEST TREND OF THE GFS. ADDED SLIGHT CHC
-SH/TSRA TO FORECAST FOR SUNDAY EVENING...THEN TRANSITIONED TO CHC
POPS FOR MON FOR FRONT TO MV ACROSS THE AREA. EURO SHOWS THIS BNDRY
THEN LINGERING TO OUR SOUTH...WHICH IS CLIMO FAVORED FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR. BUT THE GFS PUSHES IT WELL OFFSHORE AWAY FROM THE REGION AS
HIGH PRES BUILDS DOWN FROM THE GREAT LAKES. FOR NOW HAVE LEFT
FORECAST DRY FOR TUE/WED...BUT THINK THAT CLIMO CUD VERY WELL WIN
OUT AND WE WILL HAVE A CONTINUATION OF THESE AFTN/EVENING SCT
SHWR/TSRA UNTIL MID WEEK. TEMPS ON SUN A FEW DEGS ABV CLIMO...AND
THE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK XPCT A RETURN CLIMO NORM TEMPS.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LINGERING SHRAS AND TSRAS (ONLY IN NE NC) CAUSING SCT MVFR AND ISOLD
IFR CONDS. EXPECT SOME CLEARING THIS AFTN AS COLD FRNT APPROACHES/PUSHES
INTO REGION FM THE W...BEFORE TSRAS...SOME POSSIBLY
SEVERE...DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING (BY 23Z). MAIN
SEVERE THREAT IS DAMAGING WINDS.
LWR CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE THU INTO FRI...ESPLY ACRS SE CWA TAF
SITES...AS FRNT SLOWLY PUSHES THRU THE AREA. MAINLY VFR CONDS
EXPECTED LATER FRI INTO SUN AS HI PRES BLDS OVR THE REGION.
&&
.MARINE...
SW WINDS RUNNING 15 TO 20 KT (WITH A FEW OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 25 OVER
THE NORTHERN COASTAL WTRS) WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AS GRADIENT
TIGHTENS BTW THE OFFSHORE BERMUDA HIGH AND A CD FRNT APPROACHING
FROM THE WEST. SCA FLAGS FOR CHES BAY...CURRITUCK SND AND THE NRN
WATERS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT UNTIL 1 AM. WINDS WEAKEN THU AS FRONT
CROSSES THE WATRS...SHIFTING TO THE NW EARLY AND THEN EASTERLY BY
LATE IN THE DAY BEHIND THE FRONT.
ALSO BY THU EVENING...SWELL FROM HURRICANE BERTHA IS EXPECTED TO
REACH THE COASTAL WATERS...BUT SEAS ARE PROGGED TO REMAIN LOW (2 TO
4 FT) AT THIS TIME AS BERTHA WILL STILL BE LOCATED VERY FAR AWAY
(APPROX 500+ MI S OF BERMUDA BY THU). HV TRENDED DOMINANT PERIODS UP
FROM 5-6 SEC TO 10-12 BY THU AFTN AS SWELL BECOMES DOMINANT WAVE
