NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 7, 2:22 PM EST, 1 hour 14 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 322 PM EDT TUE AUG 7 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE REGION INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN SLOWLY MOVES OFF THE COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A MORE SUBSTANTIAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE MID ATLANTIC REGION FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN DRAPED OVER NRN PORTIONS OF THE FA THROUGH TONIGHT. VERY LITTLE CHANGE TO OVERALL H85 WX PATTERN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE APPALACHIANS OF WV/VA. ALTHOUGH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN AT A MINIMUM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...SOME CLEARING TO THE SOUTH AND WEST SHOULD CREATE JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP/FILL IN FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AS THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING PROGRESSES. BEST SHORTWAVE ENERGY LIES TO THE SOUTH IN SRN NC BUT IS EXPECTED ROTATE OUT OVER THE NC OUTER BANKS AREA RATHER THAN INTO NE NC. A WEAK AREA OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE SITS OVER THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE AND ACROSS SE VA WHERE HIGHER STORM TOPS HAVE BEEN SEEN IN LOW LIGHT VISIBLE SATELLITES IMAGES. THEREFORE...STILL EXPECTING BEST PRECIP/STORM CHANCES TO BE ACROSS SRN/SE VA AND NE NC. MAIN THREAT CONTINUES TO BE FROM HEAVY RAIN DUE TO A HUMID AIRMASS AND TRAINING OF STORMS WHICH MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING PROBLEMS...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH POOR DRAINAGE AS WELL AS IN LOCATIONS THAT EXPERIENCED UPWARDS OF 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL FROM TRAINING STORMS YESTERDAY. PRECIP SHOULD TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST LATER TONIGHT WITH LINGERING SHOWERS AND ISO-SCT THUNDERSTORMS CLOSER TO THE COAST. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THE FRONT WILL AGAIN BE NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE FA ON WEDNESDAY AND THEN SLOWLY DISSIPATE OFF THE COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT...KEEPING AN UNSETTLED WX PATTERN OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. BEST PRECIP/STORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE OVER SE VA AND NE NC WHERE FAVORABLE LIFT/ENERGY RESIDES...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EXPECTED NORTH AND WEST OF THESE AREAS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS IN THE MID-UPPER 80S. A LEE TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE REGION ON THURSDAY. THE TROUGH WILL HELP TO BOOST TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL (LOWER 90S INLAND...UPPER 80S IMMEDIATE COAST) IN PERSISTENT S-SW SURFACE FLOW. PLENTY OF HEAT COMBINED WITH ADDITIONAL HUMIDITY PUMPED UP FROM THE GULF AND ATLANTIC COASTS SHOULD TRIGGER AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS THAT SHOULD MAINTAIN THEMSELVES OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF THETA-E RIDGING. FRIDAY WILL BE AN INTERESTING DAY AS A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE TN/OH VALLEYS. ANOTHER ROUND OF HOT TEMPERATURES (SIMILAR TO THURSDAY) AND PLENTY OF HUMIDITY WILL ONCE AGAIN ACT TO DESTABILIZE THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL STORM DEVELOPMENT FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SHEAR PROFILE IS MOSTLY UNIDIRECTIONAL WITH SOME LOW LEVEL VEERING WITH HEIGHT...THEREFORE A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS. A FEW CAVEATS TO CONSIDER ARE THE PRESENCE OF LINGERING SHOWER ACTIVITY (ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST) FRIDAY MORNING AND HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER WILL STREAM IN AHEAD OF THE LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT...BOTH OF WHICH COULD HAMPER CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. TIMING WILL BE EVERYTHING AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS WX SITUATION CLOSELY. SPC HAS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION WITHIN A SLIGHT RISK AREA FOR FRIDAY. WILL KEEP THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OUT OF THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NOW. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... UPR-LVL TROF PIVOTS FROM THE OH VALLEY TO THE NORTHEAST FRI NGT INTO SAT...LEADING TO THE RAIN FRI CONTINUING INTO FRI NGT AND SAT. SFC LO PRES AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRNT...DEEP MOISTURE...A PRE-FRONTAL TROF...AND RFQ OF AN UPR-LVL JET STREAK WILL LEAD TO SHWRS AND TSTMS LIKELY FRI NGT (60% POPS)...WITH 50% POPS FOR SAT AS MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE PROGRESSION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TROF AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRNT. STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL DUE TO STRONG FORCING... SHEAR...AND A DEVELOPING LLJ. FROPA MAY BE DELAYED UNTIL SAT AFTN/EVENG...WITH POPS DECREASING SAT NGT AND SUN. HI PRES BLDS IN BEHIND THE FRNT ERLY NEXT WEEK WITH POPS CAPPED AT 20-30%. TEMPS NEAR NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD. HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPR 80S WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 18Z...SCATTERED SHOWERS WERE SPREAD OUT ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THE TAF SITES HAVE HAD FREQUENT PERIODS OF MVFR THROUGHOUT THE PAST SIX HOURS. HAVE VFR WITH TEMPO GROUP OF MVFR NEXT FEW HOURS. TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTN WITH SOME POSSIBLY DEVELOPING OVER THE PIEDMONT. ALL THE TAF SITES EXCEPT SBY HAVE A 2 HOUR PREDOMINANT PERIOD OF SHOWERS WITH TSTMS IN VICINITY FOR LATE AFTN/EARLY EVENING. WILL UPDATE IF TSTMS BECOME MORE CERTAIN FOR THE TERMINAL AREA. MOS FCSTS ARE MORE BULLISH ON IFR WEDNESDAY MORNING COMPARED WITH WHAT THEY HAD 24 HOURS AGO FOR THIS MORNING. IFR WILL BE INFLUENCED ON HOW MUCH CLEARING OCCURS OVERNIGHT AND HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS THIS EVENING. HAVE PLENTY OF MVFR IN THE TAFS BUT HELD BACK ON IFR FOR NOW. UPDATES CAN REASSESS THE SITUATION. CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY BE SLOW TO IMPROVE WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH LIGHT WINDS IN PLACE. KEPT MVFR GOING THROUGH 18Z EXCEPT AT SBY. OUTLOOK...NO APPRECIABLE CHANGE IN THE WX PATTERN IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. CHC FOR TSTMS WEDNESDAY AFTN WILL BE HIGHEST OVER ORF/ECG...WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR TSTMS AGAIN ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS A MORE SUBSTANTIAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IMPACTS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. && .MARINE... NO MARINE HEADLINES NEC FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WEAK FRNTAL BNDRY CURRENTLY STALLED OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WILL REMAIN FAIRLY STATIONARY AND SLOWLY DISSIPATE THRU WED. WEAK PRES GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRNT CONTINUES SO WINDS MAINLY S/SW AOB 10 KT... UP TO AROUND 15 KT AT TIMES. WAVES 1-2 FT AND SEAS 2-3 FT. S/SW WINDS SLOWLY INCREASE THU-FRI-SAT AHEAD OF THE NEXT (STRONGER) COLD FRNT WITH MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. SEAS WILL BUILD FROM 3-4 FT FRI NGT TO 4-6 FT SAT. THE FROPA OCCURS LATE SAT/SAT NGT. QUIET MARINE CONDITIONS RETURN SUN THRU TUE AS SFC HI PRES BLDS IN FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE FRNT. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...NONE. NC...NONE.
