AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
504 AM EST THU DEC 16 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST THIS MORNING
BEFORE MOVING ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA TODAY...TO A POSITION OFF THE
COAST TONIGHT. AFTER THAT...ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO TO THE SOUTHEAST COAST
BY SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS DEPICTS SFC LOW PRESSURE OVER THE LWR MS VLY.
TO THE WEST...OVERRUNNING MOISTURE ON 290-295K SFCS STARTING TO
YIELD SOME SNOWFALL JUST TO THE WEST OF THE CWA THIS
MORNING.
GOING FORECAST BASICALLY ON TRACK...AND HV MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS
BASED UPON OBS UPSTREAM. GIVEN SIGNIFICANT DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS
STILL IN PLACE...HV PUSHED PCPN ONSET BACK A COUPLE OF HOURS TO
JUST AFTER 12Z WEST OF I-95...AND MID TO LATE MORNING FOR POINTS
EAST (CORROBORATED BY LATEST RUC/HRRR). INITIAL PRECIP WILL BE IN
THE FORM OF SNOW FOR ALL AREAS. GIVEN STRONG LIFT AND STRONG
FORCING...EXPECTING A VERY BRIEF PERIOD IN THE MID-LT MORNING HRS
WITH A MOD/HVY BURST OF SNOW...LKLY WITH INITIAL SNOWBAND THAT
PUSHES OVER THE REGION. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR A QUICK DOSE OF A FEW
INCHES OF SNOWFALL BTWN 15-17Z ALONG AND SOUTH OF FARMVILLE TO
EMPORIA LINE WHICH IS COINCIDENT WITH BEST H7 FN VECTOR
CONVERGENCE. EXPECT THIS BAND TO THEN PUSH FURTHER TO THE NORTH-
NORTHEAST JUST AFTER NOON ALONG A LINE FROM PALMYRA- WAKEFIELD
BEFORE SHIFTING FURTHER TO THE E/NE FROM FOR THE MID- AFTN TO
EASTERN VA AND THE EASTERN SHORE.
IT IS OVER THIS AREA WHERE P-TYPE TRANSITION FOR THE AFTERNOON
WILL BE KEY TO WHAT CONTINUES TO BE A COMPLICATED FORECAST. THE
ONLY AREAS OF CONCERN AS FAR AS A CHANGEOVER TO A WINTRY MIX
APPEARS TO BE ALONG SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES WHERE WARM NOSE WILL
LIKELY ALLOW FOR SOME SLEET MIXING WITH SNOW THIS AFTERNOON AND
POSSIBLY ENDING AS A PERIOD OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR FREEZING
DRIZZLE (LITTLE TO NO ICE ACCUMULATION DUE TO LGT QPF). MODELS
INDICATE THAT THE WARMEST AIR WILL BE CONFINED TO COASTAL SE VA
AND NE NC...MAINLY FROM VA BEACH TO KECG/KEDE OVER TO THE OUTER
BANKS TWRDS THE AFTN HRS. THESE AREAS WILL LIKELY SEE SNOW OR
MIXED PRECIP CHANGEOVER THE PLAIN RAIN BY ERY THIS EVENING...BUT
NOT BEFORE A SMALL ACCUMULATION OF SNOW OCCURS. THIS WARM AIR MAY
BE OVERDONE AND HAVE ALLOWED FOR A LITTLE ERROR IN CAUTION IN CASE
COLD AIR DOMINATES LONGER AND TRANSITION TO PL-FRZ RA/RA IS SLOWER
OR NEVER OCCURS.
HAVE MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HEADLINES AND HAVE EXPANDED THE WINTER
STORM WARNING (3-5" INCHES OF ACCUM) TO INCLUDE CITY OF CHESAPEAKE
AND MIDDLESEX COUNTY. BASIC THINKING IS 2-5 ACCUMULATION
NORTH OF RICHMOND METRO...WITH A STRIPE OF SLIGHTLY HIGHER TOTALS
ACROSS SOUTHSIDE VA TOWARDS HAMPTON ROADS IN ANTICIPATION OF
HEAVIER BANDS PUSHING A BIT FARTHER SOUTH THAN PREV. ANTICIPATED.
THAT SAID...SHUNTING QPF SOUTHWARD WL BE LESS OF AN ISSUE WHEN
ROEBBER SCHEMES EASILY DEPICT A 14-16:1 SNOW RATIO.
ELSEWHERE...WINTER WX ADVISORY REMAINS IN PLACE. AT THIS
TIME...THINKING IS THAT BY THE TIME FEEDER- SEEDER PROCESSES DROP
OFF AFTER 21Z-00Z/FRI...LLVL MOISTURE WILL ALREADY BE DIMINISHING
IF NOT GONE ALTOGETHER. AS A RESULT...COULD WELL SEE A PERIOD OF
LINGERING SLEET/LGT FREEZING DRIZZLE THURS EVENING OVR
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN VA...WITH CHC OF LIGHT RAIN OVER NE NC.
EXPECTING 1-3" OF SNOWFALL (DUE TO AFOREMENTIONED HIGHER SNOW
RATIOS) WITH LIGHTER QPF OVER FAR N/NE ZONES. GNRLY SOUTH OF THE
VA/NC BORDER AND EAST OF STATE ROUTE 10 ALSO WILL SEE LESS SNOW
ACCUM (1-3") WITH AREAS THAT WILL LKLY SEE THOSE P-TYPE TRANSITION
ISSUES (MAINLY COASTAL VA AND NE NC). ICE ACCUMULATION WILL LIKELY
NOT BE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM...GENERALLY LESS THAN
0.10"...AND LIMITED TO INTERIOR NE NC.
HV UNDERCUT LOWS GIVEN EXPECTED SNOWFALL...GENERALLY UPR TEENS TO
NR 20 INLAND TO NR 30 SERN ZONES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/...
GOING DRY ON FRI WITH WEAK HI PRES OVR THE REGION AND QUASI-ZONAL
FLOW ALOFT. GIVEN EXPECTED SNOW ACCUMULATION...UNDERCUTTING MET
NUMBERS FOR HIGHS ON FRI...W/MAXIMA RISING ONLY TO THE MID/UPR
30S.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HAVE NOT MADE ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO THE POSSIBLE WEEKEND STORM
SYSTEM...AS THE EXACT OUTCOME OF TDA'S STORM WILL LIKELY HAVE
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS FOR THE WEEKEND. THE 12Z GFS/ECMWF (AND LAST
NIGHT'S 00Z RUNS FOR THAT MATTER) HAVE TRENDED FARTHER SOUTH AND
SOMEWHAT WEAKER/LESS AMPLIFIED WITH THE MID/UPR LVL TROUGHING OVER
THE ERN CONUS. ONE CHANGE IS THAT THE GEM IS NOW MORE SIMILAR TO
THE STILL MORE AMPLIFIED GFS.
ALL MODELS TO SOME EXTENT STILL DEPICT CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE NRN GULF
OF MEXICO ERLY SAT...BUT THE GFS/GEM STILL SHOW THE POSSIBILITY OF
PHASING OF THE NRN AND SRN STREAM WHILE THE ECMWF/UKMET ARE MUCH
MORE SUPPRESSED...SO MUCH SO THAT MOST OF THE CWA WOULD NOT EVEN
SEE ANY MEASURABLE PRECIP. OFTEN THE MODELS PLAY THIS GAME...TRENDING
WELL SOUTH ONLY TO TREND BACK NORTH ABOUT 1-2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE
EVEN. WITH THIS IN MIND...AND WITH A STRONGLY -NAO...THE FCST HAS NOT
CHANGED THAT MUCH FROM YSDY DESPITE SOME OF THESE TRENDS.
OUR LATEST FCST CONTINUES TO PROG THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP LATER
SAT AFTN THROUGH ERLY SUNDAY MRNG...50-60% INTO NE NC...40-50% SRN/CNTRL
VA AND 30% INTO AREAS TO THE NW OF RICHMOND. WE WILL CERTAINLY NEED
TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION CLOSELY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY REACH THE LWR-MID 40S LATE SAT AND ERLY SUNDAY
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SE VA/NE NC COAST (AS THE INFLUX OF THE MARINE
LAYER BRIEFLY MAKES AN APPEARANCE)...BUT OTHERWISE WILL GNLY STAY IN
THE 30S. LOWS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 20S TO LWR 30S.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE THIS MORNING.
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO THICKEN (CIGS LOWER) DURING THE PRE-DAWN
HOURS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM FROM THE PLAINS. SNOW
WILL DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL VA BTWN 12-14Z...THEN SPREAD E TO THE
COAST BY 14-16Z. IFR CONDITIONS (BOTH CIGS AND VSBYS) ARE
EXPECTED...WITH A PERIOD OF LIFR CONDITIONS LIKELY AS WELL BTWN
15-21Z. EVEN AS THE PCPN TAPERS OFF THIS EVENING...IFR CIGS WILL
LINGER THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT. NOT MUCH WIND TO DEAL WITH THIS
SYSTEM...MAINLY AOB 10 KTS OUT OF THE S.
PRECIP ISSUES WILL ALSO BE A PROBLEM AFTER 18Z...PARTICULARLY S OF
KRIC...AS SNOW IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH SLEET AND POSSIBLY END AS
LIGHT FZDZ BEFORE ENDING THIS EVENING. ANTICIPATING ECG TO CHANGE
OVER TO ALL RAIN BTWN 19-21Z.
OUTLOOK...ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MOVES FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC COAST BY SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT. UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES WITH HOW FAR NORTH THE PRECIPITATION
REACHES WITH THIS SYSTEM. PRECIPITATION COULD STAY SOUTH AND EAST
OF THE LOCAL TAF SITES...OR THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR RAIN AND SNOW
ALONG THE COAST AND SNOW INLAND LATER SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS/SEAS CONTINUE TO DIMINISH GRADUALLY ACRS THE MARINE AREA...
THOUGH WNW WINDS STILL AVERAGING 20-25 KTS WILL STILL NECESSITATE A
SCA THROUGH THE PREDAWN HOURS (THROUGH 11Z AS PER PREVIOUS FCST).
OTHERWISE...RELATIVELY LIGHT SRLY FLOW DEVELOPING BY LATE AM/EARLY
AFTN (10-15 KTS AT MOST)...WITH WINDS TURNING NW TONIGHT AND ON FRI
(ALBEIT ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA).
STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE EXACT TRACK OF THE
CSTL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT ANOTHER PERIOD
OF AT LEAST SCA HEADLINES (AND POSSIBLY GALES) IS LIKELY. THE LOW
PUSHES OFF THE COAST SOMEWHERE OFF THE SE COAST ERLY SUN...THEN
TRACKS NE AND OUT TO SEA LATER SUN-MON...WITH STRONG N TO NNW WINDS
EXPECTED. THE CONSENSUS TRACK AND SPEED OF THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW IS
NOT CONDUCIVE FOR CSTL FLOODING ISSUES BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
