Hail and Damaging Wind in Virginia, May 22, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
244 PM EDT TUE MAY 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH MID WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA LATE THIS WEEK
INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
A COLD FRONT OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY WILL PUSH INTO THE
APPALACHIANS AND WEAKEN TODAY. A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES.

ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL RESULT IN
ANOTHER SHOWERY AFTERNOON TODAY. THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WERE FAIRLY
ISOLATED AMONG THE SHOWERS ON MONDAY WILL BE A BIT MORE WIDESPREAD
TODAY. ONSHORE FLOW WILL STABILIZE FAR EASTERN AREAS AND KEPT
POPS LOWER OVER EXTREME SE VIRGINIA AND NE NORTH CAROLINA.

ANY TSTMS THAT DEVELOP MAY BE SLOW MOVING DUE TO WEAK STEERING
CURRENTS...SO A FEW TSTMS MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL.

SKIES WILL BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY BUT WITH MORE SUNSHINE THAN
WAS PRESENT MONDAY...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES HIGHER.
LOOKING FOR HIGHS CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES EXCEPT MID TO UPPER 70S ON THE
EASTERN SHORE AND IN THE TIDEWATER AREA.

SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING...ENDING IN MOST AREAS AROUND MIDNIGHT. LOWS WILL BE SIMILAR
TO THE LAST FEW MORNINGS WITH READINGS BETWEEN 60 AND 65.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT FORMS OVER THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEY
TODAY WILL MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES WEDNESDAY.
ALONG WITH IT...COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND MID LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL INCREASE OUR CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION. THE COLDER MID
LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT IN AN ENHANCED POSSIBILITY OF GUSTY
WINDS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP
DEEP CORES. HAVE LIKELY POPS CLOSER TO THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT
FROM THE NORTHERN NECK TO SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT. AFTERNOON POPS WILL BE HELD AT 40 PERCENT NEAR THE COAST
AND INTO SE VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER OVER INTERIOR AREAS
DUE TO PCPN AND CLOUDINESS (UPPER 70S) AND SLIGHTLY WARMER IN
NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA (LOWER 80S) WHERE THERE WILL BE MORE
SUNSHINE AND LESS CHANCES FOR PCPN.

PCPN CHANCES SLOWLY WANE WEDNESDAY EVENING. LOW TEMPERATURES
THURSDAY MORNING WILL AGAIN RANGE FROM 60 TO 65.

UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE AREA
THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN LOWER POPS IN THE WEST AND HIGH
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA. HIGHS WILL BE FROM 80 TO 85 EXCEPT
UPPER 70S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LATEST NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING THAT THE PERSISTENT
UPPER LOW MAY LINGER INTO FRIDAY. HOWEVER...AT THIS POINT NOTHING
MORE THAT A SLIGHT CHANCE POP IS NECESSARY. AN UPPER HIGH THEN
BUILDS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. GIVEN
WHERE THE HIGH SETS UP IT IS POSSIBLE SOME CONVECTION COULD ROUND
THE TOP OF THE RIDGE AND APPROACH THE LOCAL AREA IN MID-LEVEL NNW
FLOW. THE LARGE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IS EXPECTED TO BE DRY AND THERE
IS BASICALLY NO SKILL IN FORECASTING MCS ACTIVITY IN THE MEDIUM
RANGE. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES WITH HIGHS IN
THE MID 80S TO NEAR 90 (SLIGHTLY COOLER ALONG THE COASTS WITH LIGHT
ONSHORE FLOW). LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY BE IN THE 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE AREA AS OF 18Z
TUE. TAF SITES CAN EXPECT HEAVY RAIN...WINDS GUSTING TO 35KT AND
FREQUENT LIGHTNING DURING ANY STORM. EXPECT THE STORMS TO DIE DOWN
AFTER SUNSET DUE TO THE LOSS OF INSTABILITY. WITH THE ADDED
MOISTURE FROM ANY RAINFALL TO AN ALREADY MOIST
ENVIRONMENT...IFR/LIFR FOG MAY IMPACT TAF SITES WED MORNING. THE
FOG SHOULD CLEAR QUICKLY DUE TO A SW WIND THAT DEVELOPS. EXPECT
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WED AFTERNOON.

A SLOW MOVING UPPER SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED UNSETTLED
WEATHER WED AFTERNOON AND THU...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FLIGHT
RESTRICTIONS IN PATCHY FOG EACH MORNING AND IN SCT CONVECTION EACH
AFTN. CLEARING FINALLY BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST FOR FRIDAY AND INTO
THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS REFLECTS RATHER LIGHT SFC WINDS AND A RATHER
NEBULOUS SURFACE PATTERN ACROSS THE LOCAL MARINE AREA. LIGHT
WINDS WILL BECOME S-SE WINDS ~10KT TODAY. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
(NOT TS ALBERTO) JUST OFF THE NJ COAST WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE MOVE
NNE ON A TRAJECTORY TOWARD EASTERN NEW ENGLAND AND ATLANTIC CANADA
(NOVA SCOTIA) THROUGH TODAY, AS THE HEAVILY SHEARED, NOW TD ALBERTO
CONTINUES TO SLIDE NE AS IT WEAKENS WELL OFF THE NC COAST THROUGH
TODAY. WAVEWATCH SHOWS SWELL ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FEATURES
AFFECTING THE MARINE AREA TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH SEAS ON
THE ORDER OF 5-6 FT, GENERALLY OUT PAST 10-20NM. SCA FOR HAZARDOUS
SEAS HAS BEEN CONTINUED FOR ALL ATLANTIC COASTAL WATER ZONES AS
INHERITED, AND WILL RUN THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER,
LATEST OBS CONTINUE TO SHOW HIGHER SEAS REMAINING ALONG AND EAST
OF AFOREMENTIONED LOW. LATEST LOCAL SWAN HAS PICKED UP ON THIS
IDEA AS WELL, WHICH BOLSTERS THE BELIEF THAT WAVEWATCH VALUES MAY
BE RUNNING SLIGHTLY TOO HIGH, ESPECIALLY NEARSHORE. IF CONTINUES
TO PAN OUT AS DEPICTED, SCA FLAGS COULD POTENTIALLY BE LOWERED AS
EARLY AS THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING, MAINLY FOR ATLANTIC
COASTAL ZONES SOUTH OF CAPE CHARLES LIGHT. FOR NOW, AS NOTED ABOVE
HAVE ERRED ON THE SAFE SIDE AND KEPT HEADLINES AS IS.
OTHERWISE...SLOW STEADY DOWNWARD TREND FOR SEAS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THURSDAY. UNSETTLED CONDITIONS AND LINGERING EASTERLY
SWELL IN THE WAKE OF TROPICAL SYSTEM ALBERTO WILL SLOW THIS TREND,
KEEPING SEAS IN 3-4FT RANGE WED. MORE PLEASANT BOATING CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST THURSDAY/FRIDAY BEFORE SLIDING
OFFSHORE THIS WEEKEND.
