AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
304 PM EDT SAT JUN 11 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS CONTINUES TO BREAK DOWN AS AN
UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES PULLS EAST...AND HELPS DRAG A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
BEHIND THE FRONT FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK...LEADING TO DRY
AND COOLER CONDITIONS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
WEAK ZONAL MID-LEVEL FLOW OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION...WITH
EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES STAYING OFF TO THE NORTH OVER OH AND PA.
THREAT FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHWEST AREAS OF THE CWA.
SPC HAS PLACED PORTIONS OF THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
WX. NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SEVERE WX SINCE BULK SHEAR IS
NOTICEABLY WEAK...HOWEVER VERY STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES (NAM
FORECAST SOUNDINGS HAVE RIC DRY-ADIABATIC UP TO 825 MB) AND
1500 J/KG MLCAPE MAY YIELD A LEAST SOME ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS.
MAIN THREATS WILL BE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND HEAVY RAIN
DUE TO THE WEAK STEERING FLOW ALOFT AND PWAT VALUES OVER 1.5 IN.
LAPS ANALYSES NOT RESOLVING ANY SFC BOUNDARIES OVER THE CWA AT THE
MOMENT...AND TOUGH TO PINPOINT ANY ON RADAR/SATELLITE. LIMITED
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SO FAR WITHIN THE CWA. HOWEVER...LOW-LEVEL
THERMAL PROFILES ARE VERY CONDUCIVE FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION
SHOULD ANY BOUNDARIES INTERACT...WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR.
SQUALL LINE PASSING THROUGH EXTREME NORTHERN VA WILL CLIP NORTHERN
COUNTIES OF THE CWA. THESE STORMS HOWEVER DO NOT HAVE A HISTORY OF
PRODUCING SEVERE WX THUS FAR. WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT EVIDENT
IN THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE PULSE STORMS DEVELOPING JUST SOUTH OF
THE LINE OVER ALBEMARLE COUNTY. STORMS OVER SOUTHWEST VA ALSO
MOVING VERY SLOWLY TO THE EAST.
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LINGER INTO THE NIGHTTIME
HOURS...THOUGH THE SEVERITY AND COVERAGE WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH WITH THE
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. LOW TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL...UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM PERIOD FEATURES GRADUALLY DECREASING HEIGHTS ALOFT AS AN
UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION PROGRESSES EASTWARDS
BEFORE CLOSING OFF OVER NEW ENGLAND ON MONDAY. EXPECT ONE LAST DAY
OF POSSIBLE RAIN ON SUNDAY...AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE LOW AS SHEAR REMAINS WEAK AND CAPE VALUES
WILL BE LOWER THAN THOSE OF SATURDAY. HEAVY RAIN THREAT HOWEVER
STILL THERE. RIGHT NOW...MOST LIKELY COLD FROPA TIMING IS 09Z OVER
EASTERN VA AND 12Z OVER NE NORTH CAROLINA. SW WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL SHIFT TO NNW BEHIND IT.
QUIET AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS RETURN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS DOWN FROM THE GREAT LAKES...PROVIDING DRY
N/NW FLOW. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE ABOUT AVERAGE FOR MID-JUNE...LOW TO MID 80S
WITH UPPER 70S OVER COASTAL AREAS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
QUIET START TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD...AS UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
OVER NEW ENGLAND...WITH UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING DOWN THE
EASTERN SEABOARD. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR DRY WX AND MILD TEMPERATURES
(NR/JUST BELOW CLIMO) UNDER NW FLOW REGIME THROUGH MIDWEEK. HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 80S...ERY MORNING LOWS GENERALLY IN THE
50S TO LOW 60S COASTAL ZONES.
UPPER LOW LOOKS TO BE SHUNTED OFFSHORE BY THE NEXT UPPER SHORTWAVE
TROUGH ARRIVING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS/UPPER GREAT LAKES BY WED
AFTN. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...SHORT-LIVED H5 RIDGING ALLOWS FOR
SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY. BROUGHT SOME LOW POPS
BACK INTO THE FORECAST FOR EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AS INCREASING
WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT PUSHES INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF UPPER MIDWEST
SYSTEM. MAJORITY OF ACCUMULATING RAINFALL SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL
LATER IN THE DAY THU INTO FRIDAY AS ATTENDANT COLD FRONT PUSHES
ACROSS THE REGION...AND EVENTUALLY STALLS NEAR/WEST OF THE AREA
FRIDAY. GIVEN UNCERTAINTY AS TO EXACT LOCATION/ORIENTATION OF
WEAKENING/WASHED OUT BOUNDARY...HV LEFT SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE POP
WITH HIGHEST VALUES OVER MD/E VA COUNTIES.
FOR TEMPERATURES...MAXIMA GRADUALLY BUILD BACK TO (AND LIKELY
PUSHING ABOVE) NORMAL VALUES FOR THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK. HIGH
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S DURING
THIS PERIOD...WITH EARLY MORNING LOWS FALLING BACK INTO THE 60S.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHOWERS AND T-STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON...LASTING THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. EXPECT HEAVY
RAIN...WINDS GUSTING TO 30KT AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WITH ANY
T-STORMS THAT FORM. AREAS RECEIVING ANY PRECIP TONIGHT WILL BE A
FAVORABLE SPOT FOR MVFR/IFR FOG/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT SUN MORNING.
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE FA SUN EVENING/NIGHT BRINGING
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR T-STORMS.
&&
.MARINE...
SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY WITH A SOUTHERLY
WIND. SCATTERED LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED THIS AFTN/TONIGHT...AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY. STRONG WIND
GUSTS AND ERRATIC WIND SHIFTS ARE POSSIBLE IN OR IN THE VICINITY OF
ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS. S/SW FLOW PERSISTS THROUGH TONIGHT
10-15KT SEAS 2-4 FT. (HIGHEST WAVE HGTS OUT TOWARDS 20NM). HIGHER
RESOLUTION MODELS CATCHING ON TO BRIEF INCREASE IN WNDS ACROSS
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN WATERS THROUGH EARLY EVENING...BUT PREDOMINATE
CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN SUB-SCA. A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST SUNDAY NIGHT. A N-NW SURGE BEHIND THE FRONT COULD
RESULT IN CONDITIONS APPROACHING SCA CRITERIA LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT/EARLY MONDAY MORNING. A NORTHERLY WIND WILL PERSIST THROUGH
MID WEEK AS LOW PRESSURE SPINS OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST AND HIGH
PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS IN FROM THE NW. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE
REGION...SLIDING OFF THE COAST LATER IN THE WEEK ALLOWING FOR A
RETURN TO S-SE FLOW FOR THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.
