AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
830 PM EDT TUE JUL 19 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE MIDWEST
WILL MOVE EAST AND BE ACROSS THE AREA FROM THURSDAY INTO THE
WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING INCREASINGLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS
FROM LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS STILL SHOWING WEAK/SOMEWHAT DIFFUSE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...EXTENDING WEST INTO CENTRAL
SECTIONS OF PA/OH EARLY THIS EVENING. LEE TROUGHING NOW EXTENDS
FROM THE DELMARVA SOUTHWEST INTO THE NC COASTAL PLAIN. SHIELD OF
CIRRUS...A REMNANT OF MCS ACTIVITY OF EARLIER TODAY...HAS HELPED
KEEP A LID ON CONVECTION OVER OUR WESTERN ZONES THIS AFTN (AS
EVIDENCED BY CONVECTIVE INHIBITION VALUES ~ 75-100 J/KG WEST OF
I-95. HOWEVER...HV SEEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP CLOSER TO THE
COLD FRONT NR MASON DIXON LINE AND ALONG A SEA BREEZE FRONT/JUST
EAST OF LEE TROUGH OVER THE DELMARVA.
HRRR/RUC HAS DONE A DECENT JOB WITH THIS ACTIVITY OVER THE PAST
FEW HOURS...AND CONTINUES TO PROPAGATE THESE STORMS TO THE
SOUTHEAST OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ACCORDINGLY...WL BE ADJUSTING POP
BACK TO SLIGHT CHC OVER WESTERN ZONES...WITH CHC/LKLY POP OVER
NORTHERN NECK AND EASTERN SHORE RESPECTIVELY. AFTER SUNSET THE
FORCING WILL WEAKEN AND THE STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY.
HV HAD A FEW TALL STORMS DROP SOME IMPRESSIVE HAIL OVER WORCESTER
MD THIS AFTN...BUT THINKING GOING FORWARD IS THAT PRIMARY HAZARD
FOR THE BALANCE OF THE EVENING WILL BE WITH HVY RAINFALL AND
POTENTIALLY AN ISOLATED WET MICROBURST. ANOTHER VERY MILD NIGHT ON
TAP...WITH AREAS OF FOG LIKELY ON THE EASTERN SHORE AND EASTERN VA
GIVEN LGT WINDS AND HVY RAINFALL OF THE PAST FEW HRS. LOWS
GENERALLY IN THE L-M70S.
WEDNESDAY...
MODELS SHOW SOME DRYING DEVELOPING TEMPORARILY ACROSS THE AREA.
THIS LEADS TO DEWPOINTS REMAINING AROUND 70. ALSO CAPES ARE HELD
DOWN SOME AS TEMPERATURES ALOFT WARM. WILL BE A HOT DAY ON
WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS INTO THE MID 90S BUT WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND 70
GOT HEAT INDEXES JUST BELOW 105 SO WILL NOT BE PUTTING UP ANY
ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME. SHOULD ALSO BE DRY WITH ONLY AN ISOLATED
CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM MAINLY DEVELOPING ALONG THE LEE SIDE TROF
TO THE WEST OF THE AREA AND DRIFTING INTO THE WESTERN SECTIONS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MODELS SHOW UPPER RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE AREA FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY. 85H TEMPERATURES REACH AROUND 25C BOTH THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY. ALSO WILL SEE THE SURFACE WINDS SLOWLY TURN TO THE
SOUTH BRINGING IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. BY THURSDAY DEWPOINTS WILL
BE IN THE LOW 70S AND ON FRIDAY COULD HAVE SOME MID 70S DEWPOINTS.
LOOKING AT LOCAL THICKNESS STUDIES GIVE MAXES ON FRIDAY TO NEAR
105 IN THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA. WILL NOT GO THAT HIGH BUT
EVEN MOS IS AROUND 100 FOR RIC AND FVX BOTH THU AND FRIDAY. ALSO
HAVE SOME 85H WINDS COMING IN FROM THE WEST TO HELP THE WARMING
PROCESS SO COULD SEE TEMPERATURES APPROACHING RECORDS ON FRIDAY.
BOTH DAYS CAN EXPECT HEAT INDEXES EXCEEDING 110 AND COULD GO AS
HIGH AS 115. THIS WILL CREATE A DANGEROUS HEAT EVENT FOR THURSDAY
INTO THE WEEKEND.WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE HEAT IN THE HWO.
WITH ALL THE WARM AIR ALOFT DO NOT EXPECT ANY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
AREA ON THURSDAY OR FRIDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STRNG UPR LVL RIDGE CONTS THE HEAT WAVE THROUGH SUNDAY. WEAK FRONTAL
BNDRY PROGGED MOVES SOUTH OVER THE WEEKEND...BUT LTST SUITE OF GUID
HAVING A HARD TIME PUSHING IT FRTHR SOUTH THAN NRN VA. WHAT IT DOES
IS A DVLP A SFC (LEE) TROF BOTH SAT / SUN. LOW CONFIDENCE FOR ANY
CONVECTION TO DVLP DUE TO STRENGTH OF RIDGE SO KEPT A DRY/HOT FCST.
HIGHS BOTH DAYS 95-100 WITH HX VALUES ARND 105. LOWS 75-80.
STRNGR FRNTL BNDRY APPRCHS RGN LATE MON AS HIGH PRS MOVES SOUTH FM
THE GT LAKES RGN. APPEARS ENOUGH PUSH TO GET THE BNDRY TO A PSN NEAR
THE VA-NC BRDR MON NITE. WILL HAVE SLGHT CHC POPS WITH THIS FTR MON.
HIGHS L-M90S. LOWS IN THE 70S. QUESTION AS TO HOW FAR BNDRY GETS BY
12Z TUE. FOR NOW...WILL INDICATE THE BNDRY STALLING ALONG THE COAST
AND LINGERING ACROSS SERN CNTYS. THIS RESULTS IN A WND SHFT INTO THE
NORTH WITH SLGHT CHC POPS. HIGHS TUE 85-90.
&&
.AVIATION /01Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHOWERS AND TSTMS MAY MAKE IT AS FAR SOUTH AS KRIC TONIGHT...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW AND WILL AMEND IF NECESSARY. HZ WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE FA...BUT ANY VIS BELOW 5 OR 6SM IS NOT ANTICIPATED. KSBY
MAY SEE A PERIOD OF IFR FOG EARLY WED DUE THE ABUNDANCE OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT. PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL FOR MOST OF THE DAY WED...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AFTN
SHOWER AND TSTM DEVELOPMENT.
FOG COULD BE AN ISSUE THU MORNING WITH AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE OVER
THE FA. UPPER LEVEL HIGH EDGES CLOSER ON THU...BRINGING MORE HOT
AND HUMID WX.
