AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
351 PM EDT MON JUL 9 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK...SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE
MID ATLANTIC THIS AFTERNOON...BEFORE STALLING OVER NORTH CAROLINA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE STALLED FRONT WILL BRING A PERIOD OF
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED TO NEAR THE VA/NC BORDER LATE THIS
MORNING...AND WILL SINK FARTHER S INTO NC THIS AFTN. ATMOS REMAINS
VRY MOIST AND WEAK S/W ENERGY ASSOC WTIH A MID-LVL TROF AMPLIFYING
SLGTLY ALNG THE ERN SEABOARD WILL LEAD TO SCTD SHOWERS AND TSTMS
THIS AFTN INTO THIS EVENG. BELIEVE MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE
FOCUSED MAINLY ALNG AND S OF A FVX TO RIC TO MFV LINE. SPC HAS
THE ENTIRE FA IN A SLGT RISK FOR SVR WX TDY. ALTHO LO/MID LVL
LAPSE RATES WILL BE WEAKER TDY THAN YESTERDAY...SHEAR IS GREATER
TDY (35-40 KT FM 0-6 KM). HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE W/ ANY
STORMS...AS PWAT IS AROUND 2". NOT AS HOT THIS AFTN...WITH HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE MID TO UPR 80S OVR NRN AREAS TO THE LWR TO MID
90S OVR SRN AREAS. SHOWERS AND TSTMS CONTINUE INTO THE OVRNGT HRS
AS MID-LVL MOIST INCREASES. TEMPS ONLY DROP INTO THE LWR TO MID
70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LOW AMPLITUDE UPR-LVL TROF PERSISTS OVER THE FAR EASTERN CONUS TUE
AND WED LEADING TO CONTINUED UNSETTLED CONDITIONS. LOCAL AREA SET
UP IN THE RRQ OF 40-60 KT UPPER JET...WITH MOIST SW FLOW KEEPING
VERTICAL COLUMN RELATIVELY SATURATED IN THE LOW AND MID LVLS. AT
THE SFC...THE WEAKENING BOUNDARY WILL HAVE WASHED OUT AND BECOME
LITTLE MORE THAN A BAGGY WEAK PRESSURE TROUGH. EXACT LOCATION OF
THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE CRITICAL IN ORIENTING AREA OF HIGHEST RAIN
CHCS...AS A SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES ARE EXPECTED TO RIDE THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE BOUNDARY/TROUGH. THIS WILL PROMOTE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PERIODIC AND MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN SCT
SHRAS/TSTMS. FOR NOW...BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN APPEAR TO BE OVER
SOUTHERN AREAS.

FOR TEMPS...RESPITE FROM HEAT OF THE PAST WEEK CONTINUES. MODELS AND
LOCAL THICKNESS TOOL IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IN PROJECTING MAXIMA RIGHT
AROUND 1 S.D. BELOW NORMAL (LOW TO MID 80S). EARLY MORNING LOWS IN
THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A PERIOD OF COOLER WEATHER...MORE CLOUDS AND EVEN CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND SOME STORMS CONTINUES INTO MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD FOR THE
END OR THE WORK WEEK. MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT THE PRESENCE OF A
WEAK MID AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING SSW INTO THE TN AND
LOWER MS VALLEY. THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER SOMEWHAT ON THE BUILDING
IN OF THE RIDGE FROM THE SOUTHEAST LATE FRIDAY. THE EMWF BRINGS
THE RIDGE OR BERMUDA HIGH IN FASTER SHUNTING THE BEST POPS TO THE
WEST WHERE THE GFS IS SLOWER BUILDING THE RIDGE IN ALLOWING A
WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE SW FLOW TO DEVELOP WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
STORMS. WILL SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE FOR NOW AND KEEP SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST FRIDAY MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. THE BERMUDA HIGH BUILDS IN
MORE ON SATURDAY AND HAVE LOWERED POPS TO A SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW
CHANCE SATURDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHS FRIDAY IN THE MID 80S AND WARMER ON
SATURDAY IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90. LOWS WILL BE IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S.

BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS LATE SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY ALLOWING
FOR A WARMUP INTO THE LOWER 90S FOR SUNDAY. THIS WILL SET UP A
MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN AND GIVEN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW
HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN HIGH THOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE HOT
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT HIGH HEAT INDEX VALUES. WILL CARRY ONLY A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A DIURNAL/AFTN- EVENING WIDELY SCATTERED STORM
SUNDAY (20% POPS) EAST OF I-95. LOW TEMPS THROUGH THE LONG RANGE
PERIOD WILL BE CLOSE TO AVG...MAINLY IN THE MID- UPR 60S TO LWR
70S. THE BERMUDA HIGH STARTS TO SHIFT WAST AS ANOTHER UPPER
TROUGH DIGS SOUTH TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC MONDAY. THIS COULD
BRING SOME MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG VARIOUS
BOUNDARIES THIS AFTERNOON. DIFFICULT TO PLACE THE EXACT DEVELOPMENT.
FOR NOW THINK BEST CHANCES WILL BE AT PHF ORF AND ECG TERMINALS.
THERE IS ALSO A TSTM NEAR SBY WHICH WILL PASS BY DURING THE
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL EXIST THROUGH THE EVENING.
WILL ALSO HAVE SOME LOWER VSBY TONIGHT WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN
THE AIR. EXPECT SOME MVFR VSBY TONIGHT. ON TUESDAY WILL AGAIN HAVE A
CHANCE OF AFTERNOON TSTMS WHICH COULD PRODUCE BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS.
CONTINUING CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING TSTMS THROUGH THE
WEEK WHICH COULD CAUSE BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS IN TSTMS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS GUSTING TO 15 KT OVER THE SOUTHERN BAY AND COASTAL WATERS
HAVE DECREASED LATE THIS AFTERNOON TO AROUND 10KT OR LESS. SEAS
NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE BAY BUILT TO 2 TO 3 FEET...BUT WILL BE
DECREASING BACK TO A SOLID 2 FEET THIS EVENING. THE SURFACE FRONT
REMAINS TO OUR SOUTH OVER EASTERN NC WITH EASTERLY WIND ACROSS THE
BAY AND COASTAL WATERS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING WITH
LOSS OF HEATING.

WITH THE PATTERN SLOW TO CHANGE THIS WEEK EXPECT A STEADY NE TO E
FLOW ACROSS ALL THE WATERS EXCEPT FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS. THIS WILL
SUPPORT SEAS AROUND 3 TO OCCASIONALLY 4 FEET NORTH OF THE MOUTH OF
THE BAY TO OCEAN CITY. FURTHER SOUTH TO THE NC WATERS SEAS WILL
RUN MAINLY AROUND 2 TO OCCASIONALLY 3 FEET.

WINDS CHANGE LATE IN THE WEEK ON FRIDAY BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY AS
THE BERMUDA HIGH PUSHES IN FROM THE EAST. SCA CRITERIA WILL
REMAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST BUT THE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE
LATE FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MIDDLE BAY AND
COASTAL WATERS NORTH OF THE MOUTH OF THE BAY TO OCEAN CITY.
