AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
400 AM EST THU FEB 12 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WAS MOVING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST EARLY
THIS MORNING. STRONG GUSTY WEST WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED BEHIND THE
FRONT TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BY
FRIDAY...THEN LOW PRESSURE MAY BRING UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ON
SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM STRENGTHENING LOW EXITING OFF TO THE
EAST AND HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL MAKE FOR STRONG
WINDS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. BUFKIT/NAM SOUNDINGS PROJECT SUSTAINED
25-35 KT WINDS WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING 50 KTS FOR SEVERAL SITES IN
NORTHERN ZONES. WILL KEEP ALL HWW AREAS AS IS...AND EXPAND THE
WARNING A BIT NORTHEASTWARD...ROUGHLY NORTH OF A MONTGOMERY CO. MD
TO BALTIMORE LINE NORTH. WINDS SHOULD PEAK AROUND NOON OR PERHAPS
EARLIER IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...WHO WILL BE MORE DIRECTLY
IMPACTED BY THE 60+ KT 850MB JET STREAK PASSING JUST NORTH OF THE
MASON-DIXON LINE THIS MORNING. AREAS FARTHER EAST SHOULD SEE HIGHEST
WINDS SPEEDS IN THE AFTERNOON...WHEN AMPLE SUNSHINE SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO WARM ENOUGH FOR MIXING DOWN OF THE HIGHER WINDS.
WENT WITH NAM GUIDANCE FOR FORECAST WIND SPEEDS...WHICH ARE HIGHER
THAN GFS...AND MORE AGREEABLE TO REALITY OF WINDS OCCURRING EARLY THIS
MORNING ACROSS OH/WV.
BUMPED TEMPS A BIT ABOVE MET/FWC GUIDANCE...ALTHOUGH STILL BELOW
THE MID 60S INDICATED BY GFS...B/C OF SIGNIFICANT DOWNSLOPE LIKELY
LEADING TO MORE WARMING THAN CAA CAN COMPENSATE FOR. IN UPSLOPE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS...SNSH STILL SEEM LIKELY...AND ALTHOUGH MOST
AREAS SHOULD REMAIN TOO WARM FOR MUCH ACCUMULATION...SPOTTY 1 TO 2
INCH AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY IN CURRENT WWA AREA...SO WILL KEEP
THE ADVISORY GOING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN OVERNIGHT...TEMPERATURES SHOULD DROP INTO
THE 30S AS GRADIENT RELAXES AND WINDS LESSEN TO 15 TO 25 KT RANGE.
SCATTERED UPSLOPE PRECIP STILL POSSIBLE WHERE NORTHWEST WINDS
TRANSPORT MOISTURE TO THE WESTERN SLOPES.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC ON FRIDAY...THEN MOVES
OFF THE COAST FRIDAY NIGHT. FRIDAY WILL BE COOLER...BUT STILL ABOVE
AVERAGE. GFS FAVORS A DECENT AMOUNT OF STRATOCUMULUS DEVELOPING WITH
BASES OF 4-5K FT. WILL NOT GO AS AGGRESSIVE WITH REGARD TO MOISTURE
AND CLOUD FORMATION AND WILL CONTINUE MOSTLY SUNNY FORECAST ON
FRIDAY. DO EXPECT INCREASING CLOUDS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH RETURN FLOW
DEVELOPING AND SOME WARM ADVECTION INCREASING AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE
ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. ALTHOUGH 00Z NAM/GFS/ECMWF AND 21Z
SREFS HAVE SLOWED DOWN PRECIP DEVELOPMENT SO HAVE BACKED OFF ON
PRECIP ACROSS THE HIGHLANDS FRIDAY NIGHT.
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPS DURING THE DAYTIME SATURDAY. MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW LOW PRESSURE PASSING TO THE SOUTH THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.
SYSTEM IS LESS IMPRESSIVE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC THAN SOME EARLIER
MODEL RUNS HAD INDICATED. WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS...HIGHEST ACROSS
THE SOUTH...FOR RAIN/SNOW IN THE MORNING AND THEN RAIN IN THE
AFTERNOON EXCEPT CONTINUING WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX WX TYPE ACROSS
NORTH AND WEST AREAS BASED ON THERMAL TRENDS. THIS LOOKS TO BE A
LIGHT PRECIPITATION EVENT...THAT WOULD BE OVER SATURDAY EVENING.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY AS GFS AND ECMWF
BOTH INDICATE A SYSTEM PASSING JUST TO THE SOUTH...POSSIBLY
SPREADING NORTHERN FRINGE PRECIP INTO OUR SOUTHERN AREAS. REWORKED
POP/WX GRIDS TO REFLECT THIS. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO
CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS.
HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES OFF THE COAST TUESDAY NIGHT...PAVING THE WAY
FOR LOW PRESSURE TO APPROACH ON WEDNESDAY. THERE/S PLENTY OF
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TRACK OF THIS STORM...AND HOW MUCH COLD
AIR MAY OR MAY NOT BE IN PLACE WHEN MOISTURE ARRIVES. FOR NOW...HAVE
GENERIC CHANCE RAIN/SNOW IN THE GRIDS.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
POWERFUL NORTHWEST WINDS AT ALL AREA TAF SITES TODAY...WITH WIND
GUSTS OF UP TO 45 KTS LIKELY...IN ADDITION TO SUSTAINED WINDS OF UP
TO 30 KTS. WINDS SHOULD PICK MIDDAY INTO MID-AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
AREA. WINDS WILL LESSEN OVERNIGHT TO 15-25 KTS AS PRESSURE GRADIENT
WEAKENS.
NO VIS/CIG ISSUES TODAY OR TONIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE WILL LEAD TO
DRY CONDITIONS WITH SCT 5KFT CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME THROUGH THE
DAY TODAY.
WHILE NOT AS STRONG AS TODAY...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY ON
FRIDAY. DIRECTION WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST /ABOUT 310/ WITH GUSTS
TO 25 KT AT TIMES...SO THIS WILL IMPACT TERMINALS SUCH AS KIAD
THROUGH THE EVENING PUSH ON THURSDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FRIDAY...THEN LOW PRESSURE PASSES SOUTH OF
THE REGION ON SATURDAY...WITH MVFR POSSIBLE LCL IFR CONDITIONS IN
-RA/-SN.
&&
.MARINE...
GALE WARNING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY FOR ALL WATERS...WITH STORM
WARNING BEING ISSUED FOR CHESAPEAKE NORTH OF SANDY POINT...WHERE
WIND GUSTS GREATER THAN 50KTS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS OF
20-30KTS WITH GUSTS TO 45KTS IN GALE WARNING AREA...HIGHER NORTH OF
SANDY POINT...WILL CONTINUE UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON. THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS CLOSER TO THE WATERS AND WINDS WILL
BECOME LESS INTENSE...THOUGH STILL LIKELY ABOVE SCA THRESHOLDS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS WILL PERSIST ON FRIDAY. HOWEVER...DUE
ENHANCED FOCUS ON STRONG WINDS TODAY/TONIGHT...AND THE COMPLEX
NATURE OF THE MARINE HEADLINES...WILL NOT RAMP DOWN TO A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY ATTM. LATER SHIFTS CAN RAISE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
AS APPROPRIATE.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ON FRIDAY. LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS
ON SATURDAY. ANOTHER LOW MAY PASS SOUTH OF THE WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY MONDAY. IF THIS LOW IS STRONG/CLOSE ENOUGH...THEN SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP BELOW 30 PERCENT FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON
ACROSS LOW ELEVATIONS...AIDED BY DOWNSLOPING WINDS ALLOWING
TEMPERATURES TO RISE WELL ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN. THESE LOW
HUMIDITIES COMBINED WITH THE WINDS AND FUEL MOISTURES LEAD TO FIRE
WEATHER ISSUES...FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL LIKELY BE UPGRADED TO A
WARNING LATER THIS MORNING AFTER COORDINATION WITH STATE FIRE
OFFICIALS AND SURROUNDING WFOS.
