NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 26, 3:09 PM EST, 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 409 PM EDT WED JUN 26 2013 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ANCHORED OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST THROUGH THURSDAY. LOW PRESSURE LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES LATER THIS WEEK. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST...THEN STALL OVER THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGGING ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WITH THE ATTENDANT TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING S ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THIS HAS TRIGGERED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH A LEADING CLUSTER PROPAGATING FROM NORTHERN VA TOWARD MD. UPSTREAM THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PROPAGATE ESE ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA THIS EVENING AS THE TROUGH PROGRESSES TO THE EAST. THE LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS 2500-3000 J/KG OF MLCAPE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS RATHER WEAK...AND THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR LONG-LIVED ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS...LIMITING THE SEVERE POTENTIAL TO LOCALIZED MICROBURSTS IN THE PRESENCE OF A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD PROGRESS TOWARD THE COAST LATER THIS EVENING AND STEADILY WEAKEN LATER ON AS INSTABILITY DECREASES. ANY REMAINING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT GIVING WAY TO A PARTLY CLOUDY WARM AND HUMID NIGHT. LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM 70-75. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/... THE MID-LEVEL FLOW AMPLIFIES OVER THE CONUS THURSDAY GENERATING TROUGHING DOWNSTREAM OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES SE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE DIGGING MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL RESULT IN THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE BERMUDA HIGH OFFSHORE. A MORE DEFINED SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND TRAILING FRONTAL ZONE WILL CROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BEFORE STALLING NEAR THE COAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DUE TO THE RESULT OF THE AFOREMENTIONED AMPLIFICATION OF THE LONGWAVE PATTERN. LIKELY POPS OVER THE NW PORTION OF THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON ARE FORECAST TO SHIFT TO THE COAST BY THURSDAY EVENING. A SSW WIND WILL BECOME GUSTY (20-25 MPH) THROUGH THE DAY AS THE FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. AS FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...SPC HAS REINTRODUCED SLIGHT RISK FOR MUCH OF THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SE VA AND NE NC. THE FLOW WITHIN THE 700-500MB LAYER INCREASES TO AROUND 25-30KT AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE. INSTABILITY SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO TODAY AS THERE WILL BE LITTLE CHANGE WITHING THE AMBIENT AIRMASS. THIS COMBINED WITH SOMEWHAT ENHANCED MID-LEVEL FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR MORE ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS. AGAIN...THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE STRONG WIND GUSTS WITH UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW AND A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER. A SECONDARY WAVE SWINGS THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH 50-60% POPS FORECAST ACROSS THE AREA. THE FOCUS SHIFTS MAINLY TOWARD THE COAST SATURDAY. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...HIGHS SHOULD SLOWLY TREND DOWNWARD FROM THE LOW 90S THURSDAY TO THE UPPER 80S BY SATURDAY DUE TO FALLING HEIGHTS AND CLOUD COVER/OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. DEWPOINTS WILL LINGER IN THE LOW 70S MAINTAINING A HUMID AIRMASS. LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM 70-75. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL PRODUCING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAINFALL ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. ENERGY OVERRUNNING A HIGHLY ANOMALOUS WRN CONUS RIDGE WILL DEVELOP A STRONG...HIGHLY ANOMALOUS TROUGH OVER THE CNTRL AND ERN CONUS FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. ADDITIONAL ENERGY WILL DIVE DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH INTO THE DEEP SOUTH SUNDAY...DEVELOPING A STRONG (+2 TO +3 STD DEV) CLOSED LOW OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY. STRONG BLOCKING HIGH OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO RETROGRADE WWD THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. SYSTEM IS THEN FORECAST TO OPEN AND LIFT OVER THE GREAT LAKES TUES-WEDS. THE RESULT WILL BE DEEP SWLY FLOW INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. PRECIP WATERS WILL REACH UPWARDS OF +1 STD DEV. MEANWHILE...SFC FRONT WILL RETROGRADE WWD INTO CNTRL VA SUNDAY...REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WITH ALL THAT SAID...EXPECT PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA THROUGH WEDS AS WAVES LIFT ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. 850-700MB MOISTURE FLUX (+2-3 STD DEV) WILL EXIST ALONG THE COAST SUN-TUES...WHICH COULD LEAD TO PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL. THETA-E ADVECTION AND WARM/MOIST AIRMASS WILL PRODUCE A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS EACH AFTERNOON FOR CONVECTION. THE MAIN QUESTION WILL BE HOW FAR WEST BERMUDA HIGH IS ABLE TO BUILD...IF AT ALL...INTO THE REGION NEXT WEEK. THIS COULD SHIFT THE HEAVIEST RAIN POTENTIAL FARTHER INLAND. ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND SHOWERS WILL PREVENT AFTERNOON TEMPS FROM REACHING THEIR FULL POTENTIAL...SO HAVE TRENDED FORECAST BELOW LATEST GUIDANCE. THE RESULT WILL BE TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE MID 80S (SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL). REGARDLESS...DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 70S WILL PRODUCE A WARM/HUMID AIRMASS. MILD OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 60S/LOW 70S. && .AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... VFR WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION THE NEXT FEW DAYS. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHWRS/TSTMS...WITH ATTENDANT SHORT-LIVED MVFR/PSBL IFR. MESOSCALE MODELS HAVING DIFFICULTY RESOLVING TSTM EVOLUTION THROUGH 06Z...BUT GENERALLY AGREE THAT THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE AT KRIC. KSBY/KPHF ALSO APPEAR TO HAVE SOME POTENTIAL FOR TSTMS IN THE 23Z-01Z TIME FRAME...BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO PLACE DIRECTLY INTO TAF. UNSETTLED WEATHER ANTICIPATED DURING THE WEEKEND...WITH UPR TROF DVLPG WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS. VFR WILL PREVAIL MOST OF THE TIME...ALTHOUGH PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CAN BE EXPECTED IN SHWRS/TSTMS DURING THE PERIOD. && .MARINE... HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE WATERS TODAY. S/SW WINDS GENERALLY 10-15 KT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH SEAS AOB 3 FT AND WAVES AOB 2 FT. A WARM/MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WATERS TONIGHT. SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS. LOW LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN OVERNIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTS OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. WHILE WATER TEMPS HAVE WARMED CONSIDERABLY IN THE BAY/RIVERS/SOUND...STILL EXPECT A STRONG LOW LEVEL INVERSION TO PREVENT HIGHER VELOCITY WINDS FROM MIXING TO THE WATER. THUS HAVE CAPPED WINDS AT 15 KT TONIGHT OVER THE BAY AND 20 KT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. A FEW GUSTS MAY REACH 20 KT...ESPECIALLY TOWARD THURS MORNING...BUT WIDESPREAD SCA CONDS NOT ANTICIPATED ATTM. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION THURS NIGHT/FRI BEFORE STALLING ALONG THE COAST FRI MORNING. ANOTHER ROUND OF MARGINAL SCA CONDS POSSIBLE LATE THURS THROUGH FRI MORNING. SEAS ALSO EXPECTED TO REACH UP TO 6 FT 20 NM OUT THURS NIGHT. WILL HOLD OFF ON HEADLINES FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE AS IT REMAINS THIRD PERIOD AND WINDS ARE MARGINAL. THEREAFTER...A PROLONGED PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED AS A STRONG UPPER LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE MIDWEST AND THE STALLED FRONT RETROGRADES OVER CNTRL VA. EXPECT SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WATER THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. WINDS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SUB SCA. && .EQUIPMENT...
