Hail and Damaging Winds in Virginia, July 4, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
258 PM EDT WED JUL 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION LATE TODAY
INTO TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD THURSDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY...BRINGING MORE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE HAS PUSHED TO OUR SOUTH AND SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM HAS ALLOWED FOR PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. HUMIDITY
REMAINS HIGH DUE TO A FLOW AROUND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
SOUTHERN CONUS. WILL CONTINUE WITH A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE
WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREAS INTO LOWER SOUTHERN
MARYLAND AND THE VIRGINIA PIEDMONT. HEAT INDICES AROUND 100 TO 105
ARE EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.

THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ALONG WITH THE SUNSHINE HAS PROVIDED
HIGH AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON. LATEST MESOANALYSIS
SHOWS AROUND 2 TO 3 KJ/KG OF MLCAPE ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...
CONVECTION HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED SO FAR DUE TO A CAPPING INVERSION. A
CLUSTER OF T-STORMS OVER PENNSYLVANIA AND THE SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL DROP TOWARD OUR AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THIS SHOULD WEAKEN THE CAPPING INVERSION ENOUGH ALLOWING
FOR SCATTERED/NUMEROUS T-STORMS TO DEVELOP. GIVEN THE HIGH AMOUNTS
OF INSTABILITY...T-STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL. TIMING OF CONVECTION IS UNCERTAIN...BUT
THE BEST CHANCE FOR T-STORMS IN THE WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE
METROPOLITAN AREAS APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN 23Z-02Z. ANYONE WITH
OUTDOOR PLANS DURING THIS TIME SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE
LATEST FORECASTS AND ANY POSSIBLE WATCHES/WARNINGS THAT COULD BE
ISSUED.

T-STORM CHANCES WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING. MIN TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE 60S IN THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS
TO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S IN DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE. HIGH HUMIDITY
WILL MAKE IT FEEL MUGGY OVERNIGHT.

UPPER-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TOWARD THE REGION THURSDAY.
SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER-LEVEL HIGH WILL PROVIDE EVEN
HOTTER CONDITIONS WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 90S AND LOWER 100S
ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS. THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CAUSE HEAT INDICES
NEAR OR OVER 105 DEGREES ACROSS MANY AREAS. A HEAT ADVISORY WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR LOCATIONS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE
MOUNTAINS...AND POSSIBLY ACROSS SOME AREAS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

A SURFACE TROUGH WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY. THE HOT AND
HUMID CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO HIGH AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY.
ISOLATED/SCATTERED T-STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS
TROUGH. THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL VIRGINIA INTO LOWER
SOUTHERN MARYLAND. ANY T-STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP CAN BE SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE HEAT WILL CONTINUE THRU THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AS THE
MID-ATLANTIC REGION REMAINS SITUATED ON THE NERN SIDE OF AN
EXPANSIVE UPPER RIDGE. OVNGT LOWS THU AND FRI NGT WILL STRUGGLE TO
DROP BELOW 80F IN THE URBAN AREAS. WITH H8 TEMPS INCREASING TO
21-22C AND WEAK DOWNSLOPING FLOW...MAX TEMPS FRI IN THE MID TO UPPER
90S ARE EXPECTED. THE CITIES WILL FLIRT WITH 100F. SUBTLE DRY
ADVECTION BEHIND A SFC TROUGH MAY PRECLUDE ISSUANCE OF A HEAT
ADVISORY FRI. FCST HEAT INDICES NEAR OR JUST ABOVE 100F ARE STILL
CLOSE ENOUGH TO KEEP MENTION OF A HEAT ADVISORY IN HWO.

A TEMPORARY WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE IS FCST THU NGT AS A MID-LVL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND SFC PRESSURE TROUGH MOVES THRU THE
REGION. THIS TROUGH MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR ISO STORMS DURING
THE EVE AND SHOWERS OVNGT OVER PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND UNDERNEATH THE UPPER
RIDGE WILL LIKELY CAP CONVECTION FRI. KEPT THE FCST DRY ACCORDINGLY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE DOME OF HOT AIR UNDERNEATH THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SETTLE OVER THE
MID-ATLANTIC REGION SAT. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE N AND
W...BUT REMAIN UPSTREAM OF THE AREA. OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE IN
AGREEMENT WITH H8 TEMPS OF 24-26C. FOR A REFERENCE...THE H8
TEMPERATURE WAS 24C DURING THE RECORD HEAT ON JUNE 29 /AS SEEN ON
THE 00Z JUNE 30 IAD RAOB/. HAVE INCREASED MAX TEMPS A COUPLE OF
DEGREES FOR SAT /UPPER 90S AND LOW 100S/ WITH THE LATEST FCST...BUT
IT IS STILL ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE OF THE WARMEST GUIDANCE. FCST
HEAT INDICES MAY REACH HEAT WRNG CRITERIA OF 110F IN THE URBAN
CORRIDOR AND HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA ELSEWHERE.

EXTENDED-RANGE MODELS HINTING AT A PATTERN CHANGE LATE THIS WEEKEND
AND ERY NEXT WEEK AS LARGE-SCALE TROUGHING DEVELOPS OVER THE ERN
CONUS. THIS WOULD LEAD TO A BREAK IN THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT...BUT MAY
BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SVR TSTM EVENT EITHER LATE SAT OR SUN WHEN THE
COLD FRONT MOVES THRU.

THE FRONT MAY STALL NEAR CENTRAL VA ERY NEXT WEEK...SO HAVE KEPT LOW
CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SRN TIER OF THE CWA DURING THIS TIME.
