Tornado in Maryland, July 24, 2009

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
124 AM EDT FRI JUL 24 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY PUSH THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT...AND WILL
MOVE OFF THE COAST ON FRIDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM
THE SOUTH FOR THE WEEKEND...BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE
REGION ON SUNDAY. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL ALONG THE COAST
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
SHWRS/TSTMS HAVE WEAKENED IN STRENGTH AND COVERAGE OVER THE PAST
1-2 HRS AND EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. WILL STILL
CARRY CHC POPS FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA WITH ONGOING STORMS AND
ISO ELSEWHERE. OVER FAR SE VA AND NE NC WILL BUMP POPS UP TO 30%
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS INSTABILITY REMAINS A LITTLE HIGHER AND SOME
ADDITIONAL LIFT WITH THE FRONT MOVES IN.

LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE LWR 70S SE TO THE MID 60S OVER
THE WEST (WHERE DEW PTS LOWER A BIT TWDS MORNING). DEPENDING UPON
AMT OF CLEARING AND MIXING OVERNIGHT...FOG CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY
WITH BEST CHANCES ALONG/WEST OF I-95.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ON FRI...HAVE RETAINED A LOW CHC FOR SHRA/TSRA ERLY IN THE MRNG ALONG
THE ERN 1/3 OF THE CWA AS SOME LOW LVL MSTR CONV IS INDICATED BY
ALL THE MODELS...WITH SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR PUSHING IN FROM THE WEST
BY MID MRNG. GENERALLY FRI LOOKS TO BE A DRIER DAY THAN TODAY...AS
MODEST WESTERLY FLOW (10-15 KT IN BNDRY LAYER) TAKES OVER. NAM/GFS
DIFFER IN THEIR FCST OF 500MB HGTS AND THE SUBSEQUENT TRACK OF THE
UPR LOW. IF THE NAM WERE TO VERIFY...THERE COULD BE A DECENT SVR
THREAT ACRS THE NRN NECK AND ERN SHORE WITH PRETTY STEEP LAPSE
RATES AND DEEP LYR SHEAR > 40 KTS. THE GFS IS FARTHER NORTH AND
WOULD SUGGEST TOO MUCH DRY AIR TAKES OVER AND ONLY VERY ISO TSTM
ACTIVITY WILL BE ABLE TO DEVELOP. FOLLOWING A BLEND AT THIS TIME
KEEPING POPS IN CHC (30-40%) RANGE OVER ERN SHORE/NRN NECK AND IN
NC/FAR SE VA AND ONLY ISO (20%) ELSEWHERE. WITH A BIT MORE IN THE
WAY OF SUNSHINE THAN TODAY...AND SOME WESTERLY FLOW SHOULD SEE
HIGH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES WARMER...AROUND 90 INLAND VA/NC AND
MID/UPR 80S ALONG THE COAST.

SAT...GFS/NAM/ECMWF PROG WEAK UPR RIDGING ACRS THE MID ATLC/SE
STATES. THERE IS SOME INCREASE IN MSTR FROM THE S IN THE LWR LVLS
BUT WITH A LACK OF A TRIGGER WILL KEEP POPS LOWER (ONLY 20% OVER
THE LATE AFTN/ERLY EVENING). UNDERCUT MAV GDNC BY A FEW DEGREES AS
IT HAS BEEN TOO HOT ALL SUMMER..BUT DO ANTICIPATE A WARM DAY WITH
HIGHS INTO THE LWR 90S OVER MUCH OF INTERIOR VA/NC AND UPR 80S TO
AROUND 90 ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LONG TERM PERIOD CHARACTERIZED BY INCREASING INFLUENCE OF
STRENGTHENING BERMUDA HIGH TO THE SE. A BLEND OF HPC GUIDANCE AND
THE 00Z/ECMWF WAS THE BASE FOR THIS PACKAGE.

BETTER RAIN CHCS RETURN BY LATER SUNDAY..AS S/W OVER THE OH VLY
ROTATES AROUND BASE OF UPR LOW OVER SERN ONTARIO. ITLL APPROACH THE
REGION SUNDAY...PUSHING A FRONT TOWARDS THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY
SUNDAY. POPS HV BEEN ADJUSTED A BIT TO BE CONCENTRATED IN THE LTR
AFTN/EVENING SUNDAY...AND MAY HAVE TO PUSH A BIT FARTHER IF NEW
INCOMING 12Z/ECMWF VERIFIES. FRONT WL LKLY WASH OUT OVER OUR AREA BY
MONDAY...GIVEN STRENGTHENING BERMUDA HIGH TO THE SE. MODELS IN
GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN PERSISTING THIS FEATURE THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD. THE RESULT WL BRING DEEP LYR SW FLOW ALOFT AND
ALLOW FOR MORE TYPICAL SUMMER WX THAN WHAT HAS OCCURRED THUS FAR
OVER THE REGION. TO THE WEST...A WEAK AMPLITUDE LONG WAVE TROUGH
WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST....WITH
A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES SKIRTING OUR AREA FROM THE W AND SW FOR ERY
TO MID WEEK. ANOTHER FRONT LOOKS TO APPROACH THE REGION FOR THE
MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD...AND ALSO APPEARS TO WASH OUT AS IT RUNS
INTO THE STRONG SE RIDGE.

EXPECT POPS TO RUN SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO AT AROUND 40 PERCENT DURING
THE AFTN/EVENING AND 20 TO 30 PERCENT OVERNIGHTS/ERY MORNING. BEST
CHANCE FOR MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN TSTMS APPEAR TO BE MON AND THU IN
PROXIMITY TO THE FRONTAL SYSTEMS.

AS FOR TEMPS...HIGHS MAINLY UPR 80S TO LWR 90S...ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY
COOLER MON/TUE (M/U 80S) WITH THE MORE CONCENTRATED CLOUD COVER DUE
TO FRONT STALLED ACRS SE. LOW TEMPS IN THE 60S TO LWR 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SCT SHWRS/TSTRMS CONT TO DVLP AHEAD OF THE FRNT ERLY THIS AM MAINLY
ALONG THE CST. SO WILL KEEP VCSH AND CARRY CB AT ALL SITES XCPT RIC
WHERE FRNT WILL PUSH E OF THERE NXT HR OR SO. XCPTN WILL BE SBY WHERE
WILL CARRY A 1 HR TEMPO TSRA GROUP PER CRNT RADAR TRENDS ACROSS THE
LWR MD ERN SHORE. WILL ALSO CARRY G30 KT PER CRNT VELOCITY SIGNATURES.
AREAS OF FOG MAY BECOME AN ISSUE BY SR WITH LCL VSNYS FALLING TO ARND
2 SM. MAYBE LOWER AT SBY IF THEY GET RAINFALL NXT HR OR SO.

BNDRY PROGGED TO WASH OUT B4 GETTING TO THE COAST LTR TDY. THUS WILL
CONT TO CARRY CB AT ALL SITES DRNG PK HTNG HRS. OTW...VFR CNDTNS XPCTD
AFTR 12Z.

MAINLY VFR EXPCTD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. CHC FOR MAINLY AFTN SHRA/TS
MON AND TUE. PATCHY IFR POSSIBLE IN EARLY MORNING FOG MAINLY AT SBY.
