NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 9, 5:18 AM EST, 2 hours 16 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 618 AM EDT TUE JUN 9 2009 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN CENTERED OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST TODAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...THEN WILL STALL OUT JUST NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ON SATURDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... PERFORMED A QUICK UPDATE TO REFLECT LATEST RADAR/SATELLITE TRENDS. LATEST ANALYSIS SHOWS A TROF OF LOW PRES STRETCHED OUT ACROSS THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS. REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE NOW APPROACHING OUR ERN VA PIEDMONT AND NRN COUNTIES...WITH EVEN SOME EMBEDDED TS. MEANWHILE LOW PRESSURE IS SITUATED NEAR NRN INDIANA...WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT DRAPED S OF IT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THESE FEATURES WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE E TODAY ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON KEEPING THE MAJORITY OF THE ENERGY AND LIFT WITH THIS SYSTEM JUST TO OUR N INTO NRN MD/DE...PA AND NJ. HOWEVER...PLENTIFUL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS OUR AREA TODAY WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70. EXPECT SHOWERS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE TODAY FROM W TO E (HIGHEST CHANCES OVER NRN HALF OF THE FA CLOSEST TO THE VORT MAX)...AND CONVECTION IS ALSO EXPECTED TO INCREASE BY LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON AS SFC HEATING RAPIDLY DESTABILIZES THE LLVLS. ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES DEVELOP HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE SEVERE... ALTHO THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WX LOOKS TO BE OVER OUR FAR NRN COUNTIES (NRN NECK AND LWR MD ERN SHORE) WHERE THE GREATEST SHEAR (25-30 KT FROM 0-6 KM) AND THE STEEPEST LAPSE RATES WILL BE (8.0 TO 9.0 C/KM BY THE AFTERNOON). SPC HAS ACCORDINGLY PLACED THIS AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WX...WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. COULD ALSO HAVE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WITH HEAVIEST SHOWERS/STORMS GIVEN SUCH HIGH PWATS (AROUND 2 IN). WILL MENTION/HIGHLIGHT THESE THREATS IN THE HWO. HIGH TEMPS TODAY WILL MAINLY BE 85 TO 90 ALTHO IF CLOUD COVER INCREASES MORE QUICKLY THAN CURRENTLY PROGGED...THIS MAY BE A BIT HIGH. HIGHS AT THE BEACHES WILL BE IN THE UPR 70S NORTH...TO LWR/MID 80S SOUTH WITH AFTERNOON SEABREEZE DEVELOPMENT. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... SEVERE THREAT DECREASES AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...ALTHO CONVECTION MAY STILL MANAGE TO LAST INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS (ESPECIALLY OVER THE E/NE PORTIONS OF OUR AREA) WITH MODELS PROGGING CAPES OF 2500-3500 J/KG (HIGHEST IN ERN/SERN HALF OF FA). LOW TEMPS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM NEAR 65 FAR N/NW TO LWR 70S FAR SE WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN THE UPR 60S THERE. THE COLD FRONT WILL SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STALL OUT JUST TO OUR NORTH BY WEDNESDAY. EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION TO DEVELOP LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON...ALTHO SEVERE CHANCES LOOK LOWER WITH LIMITED FORCING MECHANISMS IN PLACE TO ADEQUATELY DEVELOP ANY MODERATE TO INTENSE ACTIVITY. DO EXPECT ANOTHER MUGGY DAY WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING 65 TO 70. HIGH TEMPS WILL AGAIN BE 85 TO 90...EXCEPT UPR 70S AT THE NRN BEACHES AND LWR/MID 80S AT THE SRN BEACHES. LOW TEMPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL AGAIN RANGE FROM 65 IN THE N/NW TO LWR 70S AT AREAS ADJACENT TO ALBERMARLE SOUND. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN FLATTENS OUT BY THURSDAY...AND A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROFS WILL RIDE ACROSS THE OLD STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY...MAINLY JUST N OF OUR AREA. CHANCE POPS CONTINUE THRU THURSDAY...HIGHEST IN THE N. HIGH TEMPS THURSDAY WILL AGAIN BE 85 TO 90 (BUT COOLER AT THE BEACHES). && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... CHC POPS FRI AS S/W MOVG E IVOF MASON DIXON LINE PULLS A CDFRNT ACROSS RGN. THIS BNDRY THEN PROGGED TO STALL ACROSS CAROLINAS INTO THE WKEND. WEAK HIGH PRS BUILDS IN FROM THE N...WITH TRICKY PART OF THE FCST DETERMINING JUST WHERE IT RAINS. FOR NOW...XPCT BEST CHC (30-40%) POPS WILL BE ALONG SRN HALF OF FA (CLOSER TO BNDRY). BASICALLY 10-20% POPS ACROSS NRN CNTYS FROM FRI NITE THRU SUN. BNDRY THEN RETURNS BACK N A S A WRM FRNT MON WITH CHC POPS ALL AREAS. HIGHS THRU PRD IN THE 80S. LOWS IN THE 60S. && .AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... SCT MVFR CONDITIONS (VSBYS) EARLY THIS AM ARE CONFINED OVER SOUTHSIDE VA AND NERN NC...WHERE UPPER LEVEL CLOUD DECKS HAVE THINNED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. FARTHER N...HIGHER CLOUD SHIELD HAS RESTRICTED RADIATIONAL COOLING AND THUS THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG. GIVEN THE MOIST LLVL AIRMASS...STILL ANTICIPATE AT LEAST ISOLATED AREAS OF IFR/LIFR VSBYS OVER THE SRN AREAS (WHERE SKIES REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR)...WITH PATCHY MVFR VSBYS OVER THE NRN SITES. OTHERWISE FOR TODAY...AGAIN EXPECT DIURNAL CU TO DEVELOP DURING THE LATE AM/AFTN HOURS (VFR CONDITIONS)...WITH THE HIGHEST RISK OF SCT SHRA/TSRA BTWN 18-02Z AS A LLVL TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE CSTL PLAIN. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG TO FORM AGAIN TONIGHT...THOUGH THE DENSITY AS WELL AS AREAL COVERAGE WILL AGAIN BE DICTATED BY THE AMOUNT OF UPPER LEVEL CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS LINGERING ACROSS THE REGION. WED THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH THE SEASONABLY WARM/HUMID CONDITIONS REMAINING IN PLACE...EXPECT ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/TSTMS TO FIRE DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS WED THROUGH FRI...AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH THE MID ATLC REGION (I.E. LATE FRI INTO EARLY SAT). WILL ALSO EXPECT AREAS OF FOG EACH NIGHT...AGAIN LOCALLY DENSE (IFR/LIFR VSBYS)...BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF OVERNIGHT CLEARING. && .MARINE... FEW ISSUES IN THE SHORT TERM...AS OVERALL SUMMERTIME PATTERN (WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT...STRONG OVER-WATER STABILITY) SHOULD KEEP WIND/WAVE CONDITIONS BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON A SRLY SURGE OVER CHES BAY WED NIGHT...ESP PER THE NAM TRENDS...THOUGH CLIMATOLOGY WOULD SUGGEST GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED PRESSURE GRADIENT IT MAY BE A BIT TOO SOON FOR SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 20 KTS (GIVEN BAY TEMPS CLOSER TO THE LWR 70S THAN AROUND 80F). AS FOR THE RIP CURRENT RISK TODAY...OBSERVED MID ATLC BUOYS (44009, 44099, 44014) ALL SHOW A SECONDARY SWELL OF 1-2 FT (HIGHEST S OF CAPE CHARLES LIGHT) WITH A 18 SECOND PERIOD. WHILE NOT THE DOMINANT WAVE...WAVE WATCH III GUIDANCE IS NEVERTHELESS NOT PICKING UP ON THIS RESIDUAL LONG PERIOD ENERGY AT ALL IN ITS SPECTRAL BULLETINS. BASED ON LOCAL WORKSHEET...PRESENCE OF SUCH A SWELL (WHILE NOT DOMINANT) WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ACROSS THE MID ATLC BEACHES BTWN OCEAN CITY MD AND COROLLA NC. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
