WK/LARGE AREA OF LO PRES DVLPS INVOF NC CST DURG THU AS TROUGH
ALOFT ENTERS/CROSSES THE RGN. LO LVL FLO RMNG MNLY NNE...WHICH
USUALLY LIMITS DRYING/CLRG. ALSO WILL HANG ONTO CHC POPS E OF

THE LO TRACKS NE THU NGT AND (EVENTUALLY) AWAY FM THE MDATLC RGN
ON FRI. SFC HI PRES (ALBEIT WEAK) BUILDS INTO THE RGN FM THE
NNW...RESULTING IN CONTD DRYING AND SUFFICIENTLY LOWER DEWPTS.

LO LVL FLO GRDLY BECOMES SSE FRI NGT INTO SAT AS NEXT TROUGH ALOFT

ARND 60F NW TO ARND 70F RIGHT NR THE CST. HI TEMPS FRI IN THE
L/M80S. HI TEMPS SAT RANGING THROUGH THE 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LONG RANGE MODELS HAVE COME INTO SLIGHTLY BETTER AGREEMENT WHICH
STILL MEANS A PATTERN OF UNSETTLED WEATHER IS IN STORE FOR LATE IN
THE WEEK...BUT OVERALL COVERAGE OF PRECIP MAY NOT BE AS MUCH AS
PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED SATURDAY AND EARLY SUNDAY. DEEP S-SW FLOW WILL
SET THE STAGE FOR THE WEEKEND AS ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH TRACKS ACROSS
THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC WITH WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE. IF THIS PATTERN HOLDS...SATURDAY
SHOULD REMAIN RATHER DRY WITH JUST WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AND STORMS RESULTING FROM AFTERNOON HEATING/INSTABILITY.
OVERALL...PRECIP CHANCES ON SATURDAY SHOULD NOT EXCEED 20-30
PERCENT. POPS INCREASE SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY EVENING AS THE
UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY PUSHES TO THE MOUNTAINS LATE IN THE DAY. SUNDAY
SHOULD BEGIN WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND THEN GIVE WAY TO A MIX OF
AFTERNOON SUN AND CLOUDS INLAND FROM CHESAPEAKE BAY WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTN/EVENING AS THE SYSTEM
PUSHES TOWARDS THE COAST.

THE UPPER TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH LATE MONDAY AND MODELS BRING A
SURFACE TROUGH/FRONT INTO CENTRAL VA MONDAY AFTERNOON. MODELS
RE-DEVELOP A DECENT COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ON MONDAY...
THUS WARRANTING GOOD CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST. THE SURFACE
TROUGH/FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS CENTRAL VA AND AM THEREFORE
NOT EXPECTING ANY SUBSTANTIAL AIRMASS CHANGE OTHER THAN SOME DRIER
AIR. MORE ZONAL/WLY FLOW SETS UP WITH SURFACE RIDGING COMING IN FROM
THE WEST ON TUE...WHICH SHOULD LIMIT PRECIP CHANCES.

MAX TEMPS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S THRU THE
PERIOD WITH THE WARMEST CONDITIONS SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE INITIALIZED ALONG A WEAK TROUGH THAT
HAS BEEN DRAPED ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS. THESE STORMS SHOULD EITHER DISSIPATE OR MOVE WELL OFFSHORE
BY 24/1900Z. MEANWHILE A COLD FRONT...LOCATED ALONG THE SPINE OF
THE APPALACHIANS AS OF 24/1730Z...WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTN INTO TONIGHT AND BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
TO ALL TAF SITES. EXPECT FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND BRIEF LIMITATIONS
TO CIGS/VIS IN AND AROUND THE STRONGEST STORM CORES. BEHIND THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE...A SCT-BKN CLOUD DECK BTWN 1500-2500 FT AGL IS
ANTICIPATED TO LINGER NEAR THE COAST THROUGH THU MORNING BEFORE
BREAKING UP AND/OR LIFTING ABOVE 3000 FT AGL.

OTHERWISE...THE FRONT STALLS JUST OFF THE VA/NC OUTER BANKS ON THU
AND DEEPENS INTO A MORE CENTRALIZED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THE LOW IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE NNE AND OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY FRI EVENING.
THIS FEATURE WILL KEEP SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND OCCASIONAL
MVFR CIGS PRIMARILY NEAR TAF SITES KECG...KORF...KPHF AND KSBY
DURING THIS TIME. ALTHOUGH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXITS THE AREA
ON FRI...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED ENOUGH FOR AFTN
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
UPDATE...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE INITIATED ALONG A WEAK TROUGH
THAT HAS BEEN DRAPED ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST FOR THE PAST
SEVERAL DAYS. THESE STORMS SHOULD EITHER DISSIPATE OR MOVE WELL
OFFSHORE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. A MORE DEFINED COLD FRONT WILL
THEN CROSS THE WATERS LATE THIS AFTN INTO THIS EVENING...BRINGING
ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TO THE WATERS DURING
THIS TIME.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MAIN CONSIDERATION FOR THE MARINE FORECAST
IS HOW STRONG ANY NORTHERLY SURGE WILL BE BEHIND THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. 00Z NAM APPEARS TO BE OVERDONE WITH ITS PRESSURE GRADIENT
AND PROBABLY THE WIND. BAY TEMPERATURES ARE WELL INTO THE 70S AND
IN SOME CASES LOWER 80S WHICH WILL PROMOTE GOOD MIXING. FOR NOW
HELD OFF ON HEADLINES OR SCA WINDS BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF
AT LEAST A BRIEF PERIOD OF SCA CONDITIONS OCCURS OVER THE BAY.
THIS IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR EITHER OVERNIGHT TONIGHT BEHIND THE
FRONT OR ON FRIDAY MORNING. THE LATTER PERIOD WILL DEPEND ON HOW
STRONG THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BECOMES TO THE WEST OF THE DEVELOPING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. FOLLOWED CLOSE TO SREF WINDS WHICH ARE TAMER
THAN THE STRONGEST MODEL...THE NAM. NOTE HOWEVER THAT THE SYNOPTIC
SOLUTION OF THE SREF IS SIMILAR TO THE NAM AND COULD BE IN
QUESTION WITH AN ANOMALOUS LOW PRESSURE TRACK FOR MID SUMMER (INTO
LONG ISLAND) BUT SHOULD NOT BE DISCOUNTED.

SEAS BUILD TO 3 TO 4 FT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. FIVE FOOT SEAS ARE
PSBL BUT DID NOT INCLUDE WITHIN 20NM AT THIS POINT.

TIDES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT 1/2 TO 1 FT BELOW MINOR FLOODING
THRESHOLDS WITH DECREASING INFLUENCE OF THE LUNAR EFFECT BUT THIS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED WITH THE INCREASING NORTHEAST WIND DURING
THE COMING DAYS.
