AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
411 PM EST SUN MAR 6 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST UP THE EASTERN
SEABOARD TONIGHT...WHILE DRAGGING THE COLD FRONT ACROSS THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
MOVE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT...WHICH MOVE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE MAIN BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IS MOVING ACROSS THE CWA
AT THIS TIME...WITH SOME RAINFALL RATES UP TO .5 TO .75 INCHES PER
HOUR. THE SURFACE LOW IN NEAR CHO/LKU AND CONTINUES TO LIFT
NORTHEAST WITH THE COLD FRONT STRETCHING SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL NC
TOWARD COLUMBIA SC. THIS FRONT WILL PICK UP SPEED TO THE EAST AND
SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE AREA BY 2Z TO 3Z. BEHIND THIS MAIN RAIN
BAND...MORE SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE A THUNDERSTORM HAVE BEGUN TO
DEVELOP SO HAVE HELD ON TO HIGHER POPS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING
TIME FRAME. BY 6Z HOWEVER...EXPECT THAT THE RAIN SHOULD BE OVER.
CLOUDS HOWEVER LOOK TO LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT DUE TO THE
NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH. THE LOW LEVELS DO REMAIN SATURATED SO
EXPECT TO SEE THE LOWER CLOUDS HANG TO BETWEEN 6Z AND 9Z BEFORE
THEY AREA FINALLY VANQUISHED BY THE NW FLOW AND DRIER AIR. FOR
LOWS OVERNIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND THE
FRONT WITH THE COLD ADVECTION...BUT HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE WARMER
MET NUMBERS BASED UPON THE CLOUDS LINGERING AND THE WINDS STAYING UP.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ON MONDAY...WHICH
WILL RETURN THE SUNSHINE AND DRY WEATHER. BUT WITH THE NW FLOW
ALOFT AND COLD ADVECTION TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER...WITH
READINGS IN THE UPPER 40S ALONG THE DELMARVA AND THE LOW TO MID
50S ELSEWHERE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE...CENTERED OVER NEW ENGLAND WILL MAINTAIN
IS CONTROL OF THE WEATHER ACROSS MOST OF THE EASTERN SEABOARD INTO
WEDNESDAY AS IT NOSES DOWN THE COAST. THIS WILL KEEP THE WEATHER
DRY...HOWEVER...WITH THE FLOW ALOFT TURNING OUT OF THE SW...WILL
SEE PERIOD OF CLOUDS WITH HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE SLIDING THROUGH.
THESE CLOUDS WILL LIKELY HOLD TEMPS DOWN SOME ON TUESDAY...BUT
WITH SOME WARM ADVECTION DEVELOPING ON WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO
MODERATE ON WEDNESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
GUIDANCE WAY TO FAST WITH SFC REFLECTION ON THE NEXT SYSTEM TO
EFFECT THE RGN. FOLLOWING CLOSE TO THE H70-50 HEIGHT PATTERN FOR
TRACK OF NEXT SYSTEM ON THU. MID LVL TROUGH WILL DIG OVER THE NRN
PLAINS/UPR MIDWEST ON WED AS LARGE 1045+ HIGH HOLDS OVER
SOUTHEASTERN QUEBEC. UNSURE WHY GUIDANCE IS SO PROBLEMATIC AS OF
LATE WITH TIMING OF SFC FEATURES WITH DEEPENING MID LVL TROUGHS
(ESP WITH A 1045+ HIGH SLOWING EASTWARD PROGRESSION). THE SLOWER
SOLN USUALLY WINS OUT WITH DEEPENING TROUGHS. IN ANY EVENT...HAVE
SLOWED TIMING OF PRECIP AND ASSCD FRONTAL SYSTEM AROUND 12 HRS FROM
CRNT TIMING OF GUIDANCE. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHCS OF RAIN LATE THU
INTO THU NIGHT AND SLOW CLEARING ON FRI. HAVE KEPT DRY FCST FOR
REMAINDER OF EXTENDED WITH UNCERTAINTY OF NEXT SYSTEM. TEMPS FAIRLY
CLOSE TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
COLD FRONT OVER WESTERN VA WITH SERIES OF FRONTL WAVES OVER NC AND
SRN VA. THE WAVES WILL TRACK NE AS THE FRONT SLOWLY MOVES THRU THE
REGION THIS AFTN/EVENING. LOTS OF RAIN ASSOC WITH THE FRONT WITH

STRONG WINDS CONTINUE EARLY THIS AFTN AHEAD OF THE SFC COLD FRONT
THAT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE WATERS LATER THIS EVE (SOME GUSTS TO 30
KTS+)..ESP WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE W/NW LATER
TNT WITH A LOW LVL SURGE OF COLD AIR PUSHING OVER THE WATERS INTO
MON AFTN BEFORE SCA FLAGS END OVER THE BAY LATER IN THE EVE
(STRONGEST WINDS OVER NRN WATERS). SEAS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WILL
