AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
407 PM EST WED NOV 16 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST EARLY THIS EVENING...AND
PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA LATER TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
BUILD IN FROM THE WEST LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...AND SETTLES
ACROSS THE AREA INTO THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
LATEST WX ANALYSIS SHOWING SFC COLD FRONT STILL ALONG/W OF THE
MTNS...WITH A SFC BOUNDARY BEGINNING TO WEAKEN ACRS THE CWA. THERE
IS STILL A FAIRLY STRONG TEMPERATURE GRADIENT IN PLACE...WITH
TEMPS IN THE 60S N AND NW...WHILE READINGS ARE IN THE UPR 70S OVER SE
VA/NE NC. PRECIP-WISE THE LATEST RADAR PICS SHOW THAT WE ARE INTO
A LULL WITH ONLY SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE AREA AS OF LATE AFTN.
EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 2-3 HRS...FOLLOWED
BY A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER ABOUT 7 PM OR
SO...FROM NW TO SE.
WHILE ALL AREAS COULD SEE AT LEAST AN ISOLATED TSTM THIS
EVENING...BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WX STILL LOOKS TO RESIDE ACRS SE
VA/NE NC. THIS IS WHERE BEST COMBINATION OF MODEST SFC- BASED
INSTABILITY (~500 J/KG) WILL CO- EXIST WITH HIGH SHEAR (0-6 KM
BULK SHEAR 60 KT+). MAIN THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS (>40 KT OF
0-3 KM SHEAR AND DCAPE>1000 J/KG)...ALTHOUGH WITH SHARP TURNING IN
WIND DIRECTION WITH THE FRONT (FROM SW TO NNE) COULD SEE AN
ISOLATED SPIN-UP OR TWO. TIMING LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN 02-06Z...NOT IDEAL
FOR SEVERE WX WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. MAINLY JUST RAIN
THEREAFTER...GENLY LOOKING AT AROUND AN INCH OF QPF OVERALL. LOWS
IN THE UPR 40S NW TO THE UPR 50S CSTL NE NC.

WITH TEMPERATURES GENLY DROPPING INTO THE 40S BY MID-LATE MORNING (AFTER
EARLY AM HIGHS IN THE 50S TO NEAR 60 SE AND AROUND 50 FARTHER NW).
DECREASING CLOUDS FROM W TO E LATE IN THE AFTN (SO THAT COASTAL
ZONES MAY STAY CLOUDY ALL DAY). DIMINISHING WINDS AND CLEARING
SKIES WILL ALLOW FOR MINS INTO THE UPPER 20S WEST OF I-95 THU
NIGHT...30-35 FARTHER EAST.
FRI/SAT...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC FRI
LEADING TO DRY WX AND SUNNY SKIES. THE SFC HIGH IS QUITE
STRONG...AROUND 1035 MB...AND MODEL LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUPPORT
HIGH TEMPS ONLY IN THE MID-UPPER 40S FOR MOST OF THE CWA...AROUND
50 FAR SW. VERY COLD ONCE AGAIN FRI NIGHT...LOWS MAINLY IN THE
UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S...WITH EVEN COASTAL LOCATIONS POSSIBLE NEAR
FREEZING. WARMER SAT AFTER A COLD START AS SFC HIGH GRADUALLY
SLIDES OFF THE COAST ALLOWING FRO MODEST RETURN SW FLOW. MOSTLY
SUNNY W/ HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID-UPPER 50S (STILL SLIGHTLY BELOW
AVG).
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SW FLOW ARND HIGH PRES OFF THE SERN COAST SUN RESULTS IN A DRY AND
MILD DAY ALONG WITH SOME INCRG AFTRN CLDNS. HIGHS IN THE M-U60S.

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
WEAK SFC BOUNDARY LYING ACROSS THE REGION WITH SHORT WAVE ENERGY
MOVG FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. MOST
OF THE RAIN HAS MOVED ACROSS CENTRAL VA AND THE EASTERN SHORE THIS

MOSTLY MVFR/IFR THIS MORNING AND THIS WILL GENERALLY PERSIST THRU
THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. ANOTHER BOUNDARY (COLD FRONT)
WILL MOVE THRU THE FORECAST AREA BEGINNING EARLY TONIGHT AND
SHOULD BE PUSHED OFF THE COAST BY THU MORNING. MODELS SUGGEST THAT
AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MOVES THRU
THE REGION AND THIS WILL HELP TO ENHANCE CHANCE OF HEAVY RAIN OR
ISOLD TSTMS FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. EXPECT MOSTLY MVFR CONDITIONS
WITH TEMPO IFR THRU THE OVERNIGHT.
