AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
1008 AM EDT MON JUN 25 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
REGION FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
IN FROM THE WEST LATER IN THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A VIGOROUS NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH IS DIGGING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
EARLY THIS MORNING WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT DROPPING INTO THE
OHIO VALLEY. MEANWHILE...TROPICAL STORM DEBBIE CONTINUES TO REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. AN AREA OF SUBSIDENCE IN
BETWEEN THESE TWO SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES PREVAILS OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC EARLY THIS MORNING...WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A MOSTLY CLEAR
AND MILD/HUMID NIGHT. TEMPERATURES GENERALLY RANGE FROM 70-75 WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70.
THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC TODAY...WITH THE COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTH AND
ENTERING THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LOCAL AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EXITING THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA THIS EVENING. STRONG
SURFACE HEATING AND FALLING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL RESULT IN STEEPING
LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. RESULTANT CAPE VALUES SHOULD REACH
1500-2500 J/KG (HIGHEST EAST). MODESTLY STRONG SPEED SHEAR DEVELOPS
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE MID-LEVEL SPEED MAX...WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR
VALUES PROGGED TO BE AROUND 40KT WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE
COMBINATION OF FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC AND KINEMATIC PROFILES
SUPPORTS A DECENT LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL
TODAY...ESPECIALLY EAST. STRONG WIND GUSTS WOULD BE THE GREATEST
THREAT...ALTHOUGH STEEPENING LAPSE RATES WILL BRING A MARGINAL HAIL
THREAT. LOW-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW SHOULD LIMIT STORM COVERAGE WEST OF
I-95. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY SHOULD RANGE FROM THE MID 80S OVER THE
LOWER MD EASTERN SHORE...TO THE LOW 90S ELSEWHERE.
THE COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE AREA DURING THE
EVENING AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. CLEARING SHOULD
OCCUR FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT...WITH LOW TEMPERATURES
FALLING INTO THE MID 50S NW...TO LOW 60S SE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST TUESDAY AND THEN
SETTLES FROM THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU TO THE CAROLINA COAST
WEDNESDAY...UNDERNEATH DRY MID-LEVEL NW FLOW. THIS WILL BRING
SUNNY/CLEAR CONDITIONS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH COMFORTABLE
CONDITIONS FOR LATE JUNE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM
THE UPPER 70S OVER THE EASTERN SHORE...TO THE LOW 80S OVER THE
PIEDMONT TUESDAY...WITH DEWPOINTS POTENTIALLY FALLING INTO THE
MID/UPPER 40S TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A WARMING TREND BEGINS WEDNESDAY AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DROPS SOUTH OF THE AREA...BUT STILL
COMFORTABLE OVERALL WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S AND
DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S. LOW TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY MORNING SHOULD BE
PLEASANTLY COOL WITH READINGS RANGING FROM THE MID 50S TO LOW 60S.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ALTHOUGH LONG RANGE MODELS NAMELY THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE HANDLING
T.S. DEBBY MUCH DIFFERENTLY THEY DO AGREE WITH THE OVERALL MEDIUM TO
LONG RANGE PATTERN OVER THE MID ATLANTIC. IT DOES NOT APPEAR T.S.
DEBBY WILL IMPACT OUR WEATHER IN THE MEDIUM OR EXTENDED RANGE. THE
MID ATLANTIC WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A DEEP CUTOFF LOW
CENTERED OVER MAINE WITH THE UPPER TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH. THE UPPER
TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE THURSDAY AS THE UPPER LOW LIFTS NE AND
UPSTREAM RIDGING AMPLIFIES/PERSISTS OVER THE PLAINS STATES. THE UPR
RIDGE WILL BECOME CENTERED OVER THE TN VALLEY FRI-SAT EXTENDING EAST
INTO NC AND VA FOR LATE WEEK.
THIS PATTERN WILL GENERATE A SIGNIFICANT SWING IN TEMPERATURES FOR
THE END OF THE WEEK. THE LAST OF A SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVES IN THE
NW FLOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THURSDAY MORNING BUT WITH
DRY AIR IN PLACE WILL NOT GENERATE ANY PRECIP. LOWS WILL BE IN THE
LOWER TO MID 60S THURSDAY MORNING. AFTER THIS RELATIVELY COOL
MORNING THE HEAT WILL TURN ON FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AND THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. 1000-850 MB THICKNESSES WARM 20 TO 25 METERS EACH
AFTERNOON STARTING ON THURSDAY WITH THE HEAT PEAKING FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. THURSDAY HIGHS WILL NOT BE BAD AND WARM INTO THE LOWER TO
SOME MID 90S. FOR FRIDAY THE 850 MB TEMPS INCREASE TO AROUND 23C-26C
BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THIS IS 3 DEGREES HOTTER THAT THE LAST HOT
SPELL AND WOULD SUGGEST AFTERNOON HIGHS AROUND 100 DEGREES FOR
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE AIR WILL BE DRY KEEPING
OVERALL HEAT INDICES DOWN BUT EITHER WAY IT WILL BE JUST HOT. WITH
THE HEAT EACH DAY THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE A LITTLE SUNDAY AND TEMPS WILL BE A
LITTLE COOLER IN THE MID 90S BUT HUMIDITY WILL BE ON THE RISE.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FOR 12Z TAFS...MVFR CONDS AT SBY AND ECG SHOULD IMPROVE BY 13Z OR
SOONER. ORF IS VFR BUT IFR STRATUS MAY CLIP IT NEXT COUPLE HOURS.
INCLUDED SHRA IN 2 HOUR TEMPO GROUP FOR MOST LIKELY TIME FRAME
FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTN/EARLY EVNG.
WENT A BIT ON THE LATER SIDE OF MODEL GUIDANCE WITH REGARD TO
WIND SHIFT TO NW LATE TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT. WINDS EVENTUALLY
VEER TO N/NE AT ORF DUE TO BAY INFLUENCE. NAM APPEARS TO BRING
CEILINGS TO THE TAF SITES BEHIND THE FRONT BUT LIMITED THIS TO
SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
DRIER CONDITIONS FOLLOW THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AND VFR SHOULD PREVAIL
INTO MID WEEK.
&&
.MARINE...
MADE SOME CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST TO SPEED UP FRONTAL
PASSAGE BY 2 TO 3 HOURS BASED UPON 06Z NAM AND LOCAL WRF MODELS
RUNS. HAVE ALSO INCREASE WINDS A BIT...ESPECIALLY ON THE BAY. IN
ADDITION...HAVE STARTED SCA EARLIER DUE TO THE REASONS ABOVE.
THERE WILL BE A RAPID TRANSITION TO NORTHERLY WINDS FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH OVER THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...WITH AREAS NEAR SMITH POINT SEEING
THE TRANSITION BY 22-23Z. SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL REACH THE MOUTH OF THE BAY AROUND 00Z.
...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...WINDS INCREASE TO SCA CONDITIONS MONDAY
NIGHT ONCE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES ALONG WITH MORE EFFECTIVE
COLD AIR ADVECTION OVER THE WATERS. THIS HAPPENS ROUGHLY AROUND
MIDNIGHT OR SHORTLY AFTER. TRIEDTO GIVE THE SCA A COUPLE HOURS OF
CUSHION WITH CONDITIONS FORECAST TO BEGIN WITHIN 2 TO 4 HOURS OF
THE ADVISORY. SCA MAINLY FOR WINDS OVER INLAND WATERS AND SEAS IN
THE COASTAL WATERS. WINDS TURN TO MAINLY NORTHERLY WHICH SHOULD
PROVIDE THE FETCH NEEDED FOR 5 FOOT SEAS. SCA ENDS AROUND MIDDAY
TUESDAY.
WINDS DIMINISH TUESDAY AND ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN BELOW SCA THROUGH
THE REST OF THE WEEK. WIND SPEEDS DECREASE TO 15 KT TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BACKING TO MORE WESTERLY. WEST WINDS OF 10 TO
15 KT PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY...BUT A SHIFT TO
THE SE WITH THE SEA-BREEZE IS POSSIBLE THU AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH
WEAK SYNOPTIC FLOW.
