Lightning Strike in Virginia, May 23, 2010

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
1131 AM EDT SUN MAY 23 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLIDE SOUTH THROUGH THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. A STRONGER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL PUSH WESTWARD FROM SOUTH OF BERMUDA TOWARD THE
CAROLINA COAST. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
VARIABLE CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACRS THE CWA LATE THIS MRNG W/
ISO/SCTD SHWRS PERSISTING AND SOME SUNSHINE DEVELOPING OVER FAR SE
VA AND NE NC. UNDER INFLUENCE OF UPPER LEVEL LOW...EXPECT CLOUDS TO
FILL BACK IN FOR ALL ZONES OVER NEXT FEW HRS TO MAKE FOR A MCDY
MID-LATE AFTN. AS FOR POPS...WENT W/ SCTD /30-50% THROUGH ERLY
AFTN...THEN RAISE POPS TO LIKELY FOR MUCH OF THE CWA AFTER 18Z
DURING PEAK HEATING TIMES AND MAXIMUM INSTABILITY. DID TWEAK POPS
DOWN SLIGHTLY ALONG THE COAST AS ONSHORE FLOW AND COOLER
TEMPERATURES KEEP THESE AREAS A BIT MORE STABLE. ALSO ANTICIPATE A
FEW TSTMS TO GET GOING AGAIN LATER IN THE AFTN...MAINLY ACRS SRN
VA AND INTERIOR NE NC. SEVERE THREAT LOOKS LMTD AS DEEP LAYER
SHEAR IS QUITE WEAK...ON THE ORDER OF 10-20 KT. MAIN ISSUE WILL BE
LOCALLY HVY DOWNPOURS AND SLOW MVG CELLS DUE TO UPR LOW NEARLY
OVHD. IF SOMETHING CAN BECOME MORE ORGANIZED COULD SEE SOME HAIL
DUE TO THE COLD POOL ALOFT. HIGHS GNLY IN MID/UPR 70S NORTH AND CNTRL TO
LWR 80S IN FAR SE VA/NE NC WHERE A BIT MORE SUNSHINE WILL PREVAIL.
LOCALLY COOLER ON THE COAST DUE TO ONSHORE FLOW (OXB NOT GETTING
OUT OF THE UPR 60S).

FOR TONIGHT...WITH THE UPPER LOW CONTINUING ITS SOUTHWARD
PROGRESSION...THE CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL SLIDE SOUTHWARD AND THEY
SHOULD GRADUALLY LESSEN WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING. THE CLOUDS WILL
LINGER AND THAT SHOULD KEEP THE TEMPS UP SOME SO HAVE HELD ABOVE
MOS GUIDANCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTHWARD WHILE
IT BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH A LOW OVER THE SWRN ATLANTIC. THIS
PESKY LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SHOWERS ON MONDAY AND THE FOCUS
SHOULD BE MORE OVER NC AND SERN VA. THE SFC FLOW REMAINS STRONG
OUT OF THE EAST...WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND
CLOUDS WHILE KEEPING TEMPERATURES ON THE COOL SIDE...GENERALLY IN
THE 70S.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...THE LOW OFF THE COAST SPINS WESTWARD
TOWARD THE CAROLINA COAST. THE MOVEMENT OF THE FIRST UPPER LOW
WILL CONTINUE TO THE SOUTH AND BE ABSORBED BY THE STRONGER SYSTEM
OFF THE COAST. SO THERE SHOULD BE A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER MONDAY
NIGHT BEFORE THE LOW OFF THE COAST ARRIVES EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
THE NAM IS FURTHER NORTH WITH THIS FEATURE AND WOULD BRING RAIN
FROM ABOUT ORF/PTB SOUTH. THE GFS DOES NOT GET THE LOW AS FAR WEST
AND SUPPRESSES THE MOISTURE TO THE OUTER BANKS. AT THIS
POINT...HAVE KEPT THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS GOING ON TUESDAY...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE AS STRONG AS THE NAM
SUGGEST. AGAIN WITH THE EASTERLY FLOW HAVE KEPT TEMPS A LITTLE
COOLER IN THE SE...BUT DID ALLOW MORE WARMING TO THE NW WHERE MORE
SUNSHINE IS EXPECTED.

THE LOW BEGINS TO PULL AWAY FROM THE COAST TUESDAY NIGHT SO
GRADUALLY BEGIN TO DIMINISH THE POPS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE
DEVELOPING REX BLOCK...UPPER HIGH OVER THE UPPER LOW...THE GFS
BREAK THIS DOWN MORE QUICKLY WHICH OFTEN A BIAS OF THE MODEL.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FOLLOWED CLOSELY TO
HPC GUIDANCE IN THE LONG RANGE. THE MAIN ISSUE FOR EARLY TO MID
WEEK WILL BE THE TRACK OF THE LOW OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. MODELS
ARE TENDING TO HOLD THE LOW WELL TO THE SOUTH AND PCPN IMPACTS
SHOULD BE MINIMAL. MADE LITTLE CHANGE TO THE PREVIOUS FCST WITH
CHC PCPN TUE NIGHT MAINLY SE VA/NE NC. SLGT CHC TSTMS FOR SRN
PORTIONS WED WILL CONTINUE BUT THIS MAY BE DROPPED IN LATER
ISSUANCES.

MODELS SUPPORT A BAND OF MOISTURE IN ASSOCIATION WITH A BACK DOOR
BOUNDARY/COLD FRONT TO MOVE S THROUGH THE AREA WED NIGHT/THU. HPC
GUIDANCE INDICATES 30 PERCENT POPS OVER MUCH OF OUR AREA THU. ADDED
THIS FOR NOW TO FOLLOW GUIDANCE AND SO THAT THE FCSTS WOULD MENTION
THE POSSIBILITY OF TSTMS. TRIED TO FOCUS THE CHANCES AROUND THE
CHESAPEAKE. THIS MAY NEED TO BE MODIFIED OR LOWERED DUE TO TIMING
ISSUES OR LACK OF MOISTURE.

RIDGING OVER THE MID SECTION OF THE NATION LATE NEXT WEEK WILL FORCE
THE SOUTHEAST COASTAL LOW TO MOVE EAST BACK INTO THE ATLANTIC. THIS
WILL RESULT IN A SURFACE HIGH BUILDING INTO THE MID ATLANTIC FROM
THE NORTH AND A DRY FORECAST SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WIDESPREAD LIFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EARLY THIS
MORNING AS LOW STRATUS AND FOG FORMS IN A VERY MOIST SURFACE
ENVIRONMENT WITH A CALM TO LIGHT WIND. CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY
IMPROVE THIS MORNING...BUT ISOLATED MORNING SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN
COVERAGE BY AFTERNOON ALONG WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. IN GENERAL THE
CEILING IS EXPECTED TO LIFT TO MVFR OR VFR BY THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...STRONGER ONSHORE FLOW OVER THE EASTERN SHORE MAY KEEP SBY
AT BORDERLINE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS INTO THE AFTERNOON. LOW STRATUS
AND FOG ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP TONIGHT...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY.

LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OFF THE CAROLINA COAST THROUGH
MIDWEEK...WHICH WILL LIKELY KEEP CONDITIONS UNSETTLED UNTIL THEN.
HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS LATER IN THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
AN UPPER LOW LINGERS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC THROUGH TONIGHT. A
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF ATLANTIC CANADA WILL PRODUCE AN
EASTERLY WIND THIS MORNING...WHICH WILL BACK TO THE NORTHEAST BY
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE WIND SPEED WILL GENERALLY BE 5 TO
10KT...WITH 10 TO 15 KT OVER THE NORTHERN COASTAL WATER. THIS WILL
HELP LIFT 3 TO 4 FT SEAS TO AROUND 5 FT THIS AFTERNOON...HENCE A
SMALL CRAFT FLAG WILL BEGIN AT THAT TIME.

THE UPPER LOW DRIFTS OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY
MONDAY...STALLS...AND TRIGGERS A WEAK SURFACE LOW NORTH OF THE
BAHAMAS. THIS LOW TRACKS NORTHWEST TOWARD THE CAROLINA COAST THROUGH
MIDWEEK INDUCING A STEADY NORTHEAST WIND OVER THE MARINE
ZONES...WITH THE STRONGEST SPEEDS OVER THE SOUTHERN WATER. THERE IS
STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW STRONG THE WIND WILL BECOME AS THE
STRENGTH OF THE SURFACE GRADIENT WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS TO THE NORTH. NEVERTHELESS SWELL IS EXPECTED
TO PUSH SEAS TO AROUND 7 FT BY MIDWEEK WITH PERSISTENT EASTERLY FLOW
OVER THE ATLANTIC. WAVES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 4 FT OVER THE
CHESAPEAKE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MOUTH OF THE BAY...WHICH COULD
EXPERIENCE 4 TO 5 FT WAVES BY MID WEEK.
