AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
420 PM EDT TUE JUN 2 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE MASON-DIXON LINE THROUGH
TONIGHT...THEN IT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM OVER THE CAROLINAS
THURSDAY AND IT WILL TRACK UP THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY BRINGING
A GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD OVER THE
REGION TO START NEXT WEEKEND...BUT THE NEXT BOUNDARY MAY AFFECT THE
REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS SAGGED SOUTH TOWARD THE MASON DIXON LINE THIS
AFTERNOON. LEE TROUGH IS BEGINNING TO BECOME ACTIVE ACROSS OUR
CWA...WITH 2000-3000 J/KG OF CAPE IN SOME PLACES EAST OF THE MTNS.
BEST SHEAR IS GENERALLY NORTH OF THE MASON DIXON LINE...40 KT...BUT
AT LEAST 30 KT OF SHEAR HAD EXPANDED SOUTH INTO NORTHERN VIRGINIA
AND LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND. COMBINATION OF CAPE AND SHEAR WILL NOT
ONLY WORK WITH THE TROUGH TO AID IN SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...BUT WILL ALLOW A FEW
CELLS TO BECOME SEVERE. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE
PRIMARY THREATS. WILL DEAL WITH THIS ACTIVITY THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING WITH THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH EAST OF THE MTNS ENDING
AT 8 PM.

WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER OHIO AND WEST
VIRGINIA AS THIS WILL PROPAGATE EAST AND LAST INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS AS SOME SEMBLANCE OF A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM. 12Z NAM
AND RECENT WRF-ARW RUNS INDICATE THIS. TRAJECTORIES SUGGEST HIGHEST
CHANCE OF IMPACT WOULD BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA NEAR THE
PENNSYLVANIA BORDER AND WILL HAVE HIGHEST OVERNIGHT POPS THERE. A
SMALL SEVERE RISK WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS SECOND BATCH OF FIRST
PERIOD ACTIVITY IF IT LASTS INTO OUR CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SAG SOUTH INTO THE CWA ON THURSDAY. FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL SERVE AS AN EFFECTIVE TRIGGER/LIFTER FOR CONVECTION.
MODELS FORECAST THE POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE LEVELS OF CAPE...PERHAPS
LOCALLY OVER 2000 J/KG. SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE DURING THE
DAYTIME...POTENTIALLY INCREASING OVER 40 KT IN THE AFTERNOON. ONE OR
PERHAPS TWO ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED IN SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL...AND BELIEVE THAT ENOUGH ELEMENTS WILL COME
TOGETHER TO PRODUCE A WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE WITH
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST TO THE N AND W OF THE REGION DOES
NOT MAKE MUCH PROGRESS SWD...REMAINING NEAR THE MASON DIXON LINE FOR
MUCH OF WED. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL FINALLY PUSH SWD WED NIGHT AS
SEVERAL SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES SWINGS AROUND BASE OF LARGE SCALE
TROUGH OVER ERN CANADA. ONGOING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY
ASSOCIATED WITH AN MCS OVER THE OH VLY SHOULD TRACK ACROSS PA WED
MORNING...BUT MAY BRUSH AREAS NEAR THE MASON DIXON LINE.

ADDITIONAL TSTM DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR LATE WED MORNING THRU THE
EVENING ALONG AND S OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. CURRENT THINKING IS CLD
COVER ACROSS NRN ZONES WILL LIMIT DAYTIME HEATING/DESTABILIZATION...
AND PROBABLY PREVENT THE 2000-3000 J/KG OF CAPE THAT NAM/GFS BUFKIT
PROFILES PREDICT FOR BWI DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...
PLENTY OF LL MOISTURE AND SFC CONVERGENCE NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
SHOULD AID CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WHILE A 35-40 KT H7 JET WILL
PROVIDE ENOUGH SHEAR TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED AND SEVERE TSTMS ACROSS
THE CWA WED AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAIL AND STRONG WINDS ARE THE
MOST LIKELY THREAT WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.

COLD FRONT WILL SAG S OF THE CWA BY THU MORNING...PUTTING THE AREA
ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY...WITH MAX TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE
AROUND 25F LOWER THAN WED READINGS. SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES ARE
FCSTD TO RIDE ALONG THE FRONT THU AND THU NIGHT...BRINGING CHANCES
FOR SHOWERS TO THE AREA. BEST FORCING FOR PRECIP DURING THIS TIME
WILL BE ALONG THE LL FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS C VA/LOWER SRN MD.

00Z GFS OPERATIONAL AND ENSEMBLES HINTING AT SFC LOPRES DEVELOPING
OVER THE SERN US THU...TRACKING NEWD ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST FRIDAY
AND OFFSHORE BY FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE HIPRES BUILDS TO OUR N. THIS WILL
BRING CHANCES FOR PRECIP CLOSER TO THE COASTAL LOW ACROSS C VA AND
SRN MD WHILE THE REST OF THE REGION SHOULD REMAIN COOL AND DRY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS MAY AFFECT THE HUBS LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS
EVENING. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH IN A NOCTURNAL SYSTEM...HOWEVER SOME
MODELS INDICATE NORTHERN TERMINALS COULD RECEIVE CONVECTION FROM AN
OVERNIGHT SYSTEM. MOREOVER...NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. THEREFORE...A
STORMY PERIOD UNTIL A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY.

SUBVFR CIGS AND VSBYS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
ALONG WITH A GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRY THINGS
OUT SATURDAY AND FOR MOST OF SUNDAY AS WELL.

&&

.MARINE...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE PRIMARY MARINE THREAT THIS EVENING...AND
WILL AFFECT THE WATERS ON WEDNESDAY TOO. OUTSIDE OF
THUNDERSTORMS...SOUTHERLY FLOW MAY CAUSE A MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE WATERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS BY TO THE SOUTH FRIDAY AND A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE WARRANTED DURING THE DAY FRIDAY.
