AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
1125 PM EST FRI FEB 12 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE FLORIDA AND GEORGIA COAST LATER
TONIGHT...BEFORE HEADING OUT TO SEA ON SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
RETURNS ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS THROUGH THE
CAROLINAS OR SOUTHERN VIRGINIA ON MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
UPDATE AS OF 11 PM...
HAVE HOISTED A FEW MORE COUNTIES IN THE WINTER WX ADVISORY...TO
INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES IN SOUTH CENTRAL/SERN VA: MECKLENBURG/
LUNENBURG/BRUNSWICK/GREENSVILLE/SOUTHAMPTON/ISLE OF WIGHT. THIS
BASED ON UPSTREAM TRENDS WITH THE EVOLVING COLD CONVEYOR BELT
(CCB) AND ATTENDANT MID LVL DEFORMATION AXIS...AND ENSEMBLE OF
LATEST RUC/SREF/NAM GUIDANCE (WITH THE NAM CONTINUING TO BE THE
DRIEST MODEL N FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE VA/NC BORDER). THE RUC AND
SREF CONTINUE TO SHOW A SE TO NW AXIS OF HIGHER QPF AMOUNTS (UP TO
0.10") LIFTING INTO SOUTH- CENTRAL AND SERN VA...LINING UP WITH A
WEAK AND RELATIVELY SHORT- LIVED MID LVL TROWAL (PER 290-300K
ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS) BTWN NOW AND 09Z. LATEST RUC ALSO SHOWS UP TO
A QUARTER INCH TOTAL QPF OVER NERN NC COUNTIES CLOSER TO THE
ALBEMARLE SOUND. LOOKING AT THE RADAR TRENDS...ONE CAN SEE THAT
THE LLVLS HAVE BECOME MORE SATURATED OVER SERN VA AND NERN NC...AS
WELL AS PTNS OF SOUTH- CENTRAL VA TO WEST OF AKQ. THIS IS ALSO
NOTED ON SFC AND 1000-850 MB THETA-E ANALYSIS PER THE RUC...WITH
THETA-E RIDGES NOTED ACROSS THESE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS.
THEREFORE...EXPECT A QUICKER ONSET OF THE SNOW OVER THE ADVISORY
AREAS...WITH (AGAIN) 1-3" ACCUMS... HIGHEST AMOUNTS SOUTH.
OTHERWISE...MINIMAL CHANGES MADE TO THE REST OF THE FCSTS FOR THE
OVERNIGHT.
PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSION BELOW...ISSUED AT 414 PM EST...
HIGHLY ANOMALOUS STORM SYSTEM CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE ERN GULF
OF MEXICO...TOWARDS THE WEST COAST OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA.
LATEST OBS REPORTING SNOW IN MOBILE AL AND SEVERAL AREAS ALONG THE
I-10 CORRIDOR...TO THE NORTH OF THE SFC LOW.
FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT INCREASING CLOUDS WITH CIGS LOWERING AS
DEEPER ISENTROPIC LIFT OVERSPREADS THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING
HRS. CURRENT AIRMASS IS DRY WITH DEW PTS GNLY IN THE UPR TEENS TO
LWR 20S SO PRECIPITATION WILL NEED SEVERAL HRS TO MOISTEN THE COLUMN
BEFORE ANYTHING REACHES THE GROUND. ONE EASY COMPONENT TO THIS
SYSTEM IS THAT PTYPE WILL BE SNOW FOR THE ENTIRE CWA...THE
CHALLENGING PART CONCERNS EXACTLY WHERE THE LIFT AND DEEPER MSTR
WILL FOCUS AND FOR HOW LONG.
12Z MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TO SHOW A SLIGHT NORTHWARD PUSH...AND
HAVE UPDATED THE WSW TO ADD PORTIONS OF HAMPTON ROADS TO THE
ADVSY. ALL IN ALL..BEST LIFT THROUGH THE LOW LVLS UP THROUGH THE
SNOW GROWTH DENDRITIC ZONE LOOKS TO SETUP BETWEEN 06-14Z ACRS SRN
NC...WITH A SHORTER PERIOD THE FARTHER TO THE NORTH ONE TRAVELS.
SNOW ACCUMULATION GRAPHIC REFLECTS THIS PATTERN...GOING WITH SNOW
ACCUMS UP TO 3" ALONG THE ALBEMARLE SND AND SRN PORTIONS OF
CURRITUCK CNTY...WITH 1-2" FARTHER NORTH ALONG THE VA/NC BORDER
AND ABOUT 1" OVER EXTREME SRN VA (SEE LATEST WEB GRAPHIC AND THE
WSW FOR DETAILS). EXPECT A SHARP CUTOFF TO THE PRECIP ON THE N
EDGE...SUCH THAT CENTRAL VA LOOKS TO ONLY SEE A CHC FOR LGT SNOW
W/ LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION. OF COURSE...WILL NEED TO CLOSELY
MONITOR THE TRENDS THIS EVENING AS A SLIGHT NWD SHIFT WOULD
CHANGE THINGS SIGNIFICANTLY. LOWS GNLY IN THE UPR 20S S TO LWR/MID
20S N (WENT A BIT ABOVE GDNC DUE TO THE CLOUDS).
SNOW ENDS RATHER QUICKLY LATE SAT MRNG/ERLY AFTN AS FLOW TURNS
NW...SKIES BECOME PTLY SUNNY ALONG/W OF I-95 DURING THE
AFTN...TAKE A FEW HRS LONGER FARTHER E. HIGHS REMAIN COLD...MAINLY
IN MID/UPR 30S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
BY SAT NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AND
THE NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE REGION...PUSHING COOLER AND
DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR CLEARING SKY AND
ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT. THIS DRY WEATHER CONTINUES ON SUNDAY AS THE
NW FLOW CONTINUES.
SUN NGT/MON...THE APPROACH OF ANOTHER STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW
DROPPING SE OUT OF THE NRN PLAINS WILL INCREASE THE CLOUDS LATE IN
THE DAY SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THE TIMING ON THE ARRIVAL OF
THIS WAVE IS DIFFERENT IN THE MODELS AS THE LATEST 12Z RUNS
CONTINUE TO STAY CLOSE TO PRV RUNS...THE GFS IS FASTEST WHILE THE
NAM IS THE SLOWEST...WITH THE ECMWF SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN.
FOLLOWING A BLEND FOR NOW AND THIS SYSTEM DOES BEAR WATCHING AS
IT IS TRYING TO HEAD SOUTH OF THE REGION AND COULD GET SOME GULF
MOISTURE INTO IT WHICH WOULD ONLY ENHANCE THE PRECIPITATION. LOW
LVL THICKNESSES AND SFC TRACK ACRS SRN VA SUGGEST PRECIP TYPE ON
MONDAY WILL BE RAIN OVER SE VA/NE NC...WITH SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW
FARTHER NW. AS THE UPR SYSTEM TRACKS THRU MON NGT...ALL AREAS WILL
SEE PTYPE AS SNOW. THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH DRY SLOTTING PUSHES IN
(ESP FOR THE SRN ZONES). HAVE GONE WITH R/SN LIKELY MON
AFTN...THEN A CHC SNOW MON NGT (EXCEPT LIKELY SNOW OVER THE NRN
TIER OF ZONES).
FOR TEMPERATURES...HAVE GENERALLY LEANED TOWARD THE MAV NUMBERS
THROUGH SAT NIGHT AND THEN LEANED A LITTLE HIGHS THAN THE MAV/MEX
NUMBERS SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. THEN WENT COOLER MON/TUE.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DRIER WEATHER USHERS INTO THE REGION...BUT STILL COLDER THAN
NORMAL TEMPERATURE TRENDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. BY THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD 00Z WED...THE SYSTEM THAT
AFFECTED THE REGION EARLIER IN THE WEEK (MON/TUE) MOVES INTO THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES...WHILE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK OVER
THE SE STATES. THE GFS/EURO SHOW A FEW RELATIVELY WEAK SHORT WAVES
ROTATING THROUGH AND UPPER TROUGH POSITIONED OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY...BUT IT APPEARS THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL KEEP THIS FEATURE
WELL TO OUR NW...SO HAVE THEREFORE LEFT ANY MENTION OF
PRECIPITATION OUT OF THE FORECAST. GENERALLY LOOKING AT DAYTIME
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 30S N TO MID 40S S...AND LOWS RANGING FROM
20-30 DEGREES.
&&
.AVIATION /04Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MID AND HIGH LVL CLOUDS WERE OVER THE TAF SITES FRI EVNG. SNOW HAD
REACHED SC AND WRN NC BY 00Z AND WILL MOVE INTO THE CWA DURING THE
EARLY MRNG HOURS. LEFT SN OUT OF THE FCST AT SBY PER AKQ GRIDS.
FLURRIES OR VERY LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED AT RIC WHERE VSBY WAS LEFT
AT 7 MILES. SNOW IMPACT INCREASES TO THE SE WITH IFR CONDS ARE
EXPECTED AT ORF AND ECG. PCPN MOVES OFF THE COAST BY EARLY SAT
AFTN. VFR RETURNS LATE SAT/SAT NIGHT AND CONTINUES INTO EARLY MON.
THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BRING RAIN OR SNOW AND PERIODS
OF MVFR/IFR TO THE AREA LATE MON INTO EARLY TUE.
&&
.MARINE...
NEXT ROUND OF SCA'S HAVE BEEN HOISTED FOR THE WATERS. THE SOUTHERN
COASTAL WATERS OFFSHORE OF CURRITUCK COUNTY IS THE ONLY COASTAL
WATER ZONE WHERE SCA CONDITIONS ARE STILL OCCURRING. SEAS HAVE BEEN
SLOW TO SUBSIDE HERE...AND DECIDED TO EXTEND THE SCA HERE THROUGH
THE REST OF THE WEEKEND, IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS WEEKEND'S
SYSTEM...WHICH SHOULD BEGIN TO AFFECT THE WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT.
AN AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS FL THIS EVENING TO
A POSITION OFF COASTAL SC BY MIDNIGHT. FROM THIS POINT IT WILL
CONTINUE TO STREGTHEN AND MOVE NE AWAY FROM THE SE COAST THROUGH
SAT. THE STRONGEST GRADIENT WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF OUR WATERS...BUT
SOLID SCA GUSTS AND SEAS WILL PREVAIL OVER OUR WATERS WITH GUSTS
REACHING AROUND 30 KT. 850/950 MB WINDS DO NOT EXCEED 30 KT THE
ENTIRE EVENT OVER OUR WATERS...BUT DO SHOW 35 TO 40 KT IN THE
OFFSHORE WATERS...SO WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE TRACK OF THIS
SYSTEM TO ENSURE THE HIGHER (GALE FORCE) GUSTS REMAIN OUT OF OUR
WATERS.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM QUICKLY APPROACHES FROM THE WEST SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY.
