AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
407 PM EDT FRI JUN 28 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS
EVENING...THEN STALL NEAR THE COAST OVERNIGHT. A WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE STALLED FRONT TONIGHT AND TRACK
NORTHEAST OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SATURDAY. THE FRONT DRIFTS
WESTWARD SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SEVERAL WAVES OF LOW
PRESSURE TRACK NORTHWARD ALONG THE BOUNDARY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
CURRENT MESOANALYSIS INDICATES 1500-2000 J/KG OF MLCAPE ACROSS THE
REGION ALONG WITH 30-45KT OF 0-6KM WESTERLY SHEAR (STRONGEST N). THE
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES A DIGGING TROUGH ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY WITH MID-LEVEL DRYING EVIDENT OVER THE LOWER
MID-ATLANTIC AND EASTERN CAROLINAS. THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS ARE
PRESENTLY OVER NORTHERN VA AND MD. CURRENT CONVECTION (AS OF 19Z)
FROM THE S-CENTRAL VA PIEDMONT TO CENTRAL VA IS LESS INTENSE AS IT
REMAINS WELL AHEAD OF THE SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING. THE LARGE SCALE
FORCING IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATER THIS AFTERNOON...WITH WEAKER
INDIVIDUAL CELLS/LINE SEGMENTS STRENGTHENING AND COALESCING INTO A
STRONGER LINE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...HENCE A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE LOWER MD EASTERN
SHORE THROUGH 9PM AND THROUGH 10PM FOR THE VA COUNTIES AND A PORTION
OF NE NC. HAIL IS A LESSER THREAT ALTHOUGH A FEW STRONGER UPDRAFTS
COULD PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL.
THE TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG EASTWARD TOWARD THE COAST THIS
EVENING DRAGGING A MID-LEVEL BOUNDARY ALONG WITH IT. A SECONDARY
WAVE TRACKS UP THE COAST LATE THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT. THIS SCENARIO
WILL BE MORE HEAVY RAIN/EMBEDDED THUNDER...AND LARGELY CONFINED TO
THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA/ESPECIALLY SE. GIVEN THE CONVECTIVE
NATURE IT IS DIFFICULT TO PLACE THE EXACT AREAS OF HEAVIEST
QPF...ALTHOUGH HI-RES MODELS INDICATE THERE COULD BE LOCALIZED QPF
OF 1-2IN...WHICH COULD CAUSE SOME MINOR FLOODING CONCERNS IF IT
FALLS OVER AN URBAN LOCATION. ANOTHER WARM AND HUMID NIGHT IS
EXPECTED WITH LOWS OF 70-75.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE BEST MOISTURE REMAINS CONFINED TOWARD THE COAST SATURDAY MORNING
AND THEN SHIFTS TOWARD SE PORTIONS BY AFTERNOON...BUT GIVEN THE FLOW
PATTERN ALONG WITH LINGERING MOISTURE SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW CHANCE POPS
FOR SHOWERS AND (AFTERNOON) THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MAINTAINED FARTHER
WEST/INLAND. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY BACKS INLAND SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY AS SEVERAL SLUGS OF MOISTURE MOVE NORTHWARD AS A
HIGHLY ANOMALOUS BLOCKED PATTERN DEVELOPS WITH STRONG RIDGING OVER
THE WESTERN US AND WESTERN ATLANTIC...ALONG WITH A TROUGH OVER THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. LIKELY POPS WILL PREVAIL FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY
DUE TO MOIST SSW FLOW ALOFT AND SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW. IN
ADDITION...A STRONG 250-300MB JET WILL BE SITUATED ALONG THE
APPALACHIANS...WITH RRQ FORCING OVER THE ENTIRE REGION.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES...HIGHS SAT WILL AVG AROUND 90 ALONG/W OF I-95
LOW/MID 80S FARTHER SE WHERE MORE CLOUDS WILL LINGER. TEMPS WILL
THEN TREND DOWNWARD SUNDAY AND MONDAY INTO THE LOW/MID 80S ALL AREAS
DUE TO EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. DEWPOINTS
WILL LINGER IN THE LOW 70S MAINTAINING A HUMID AIRMASS. LOWS SHOULD
RANGE FROM 70-75.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE ERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY AND A
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WILL PERSIST
THROUGH AT LEAST WED NIGHT. ALSO...THE POSITIONING OF THE BERMUDA
HIGH OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC OCEAN WILL MAINTAIN A WARM AND MOIST
SUBTROPICAL AIRMASS ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL KEEP PRECIP CHANCES
IN THE FORECAST EACH DAY AND NIGHT...WITH THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
DURING THE AFTN AND EVENING HOURS. THE MAIN IMPACTS SHOULD CONTINUE
TO BE LOCALIZED STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL (DUE TO PWATS
AROUND 2.00 INCHES).
A PATTERN SHIFT IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON THU AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH
RETROGRADES INTO THE CTRL PLAINS AND THE MID/UPPER LEVELS OF THE
BERMUDA HIGH MOVE OVER THE ERN SEABOARD FROM THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
TO THE SE STATES. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES ARE NOT ANTICIPATED TO
CHANGE MUCH IN PREDOMINANT S-SW FLOW...PRECIPITATION SHOULD BECOME
FOCUSED MORE TO THE WEST AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE MID/UPPER LEVEL
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERS.
EXPECT HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOWS GENERALLY IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...SURFACE OBS DEPICT A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH TO THE WEST OF
OF THE CWA. WITH PLENTY OF HEAT AND MOISTURE AVAILABLE...
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY TO INITIATE IN THE VICINITY OF
THE TROUGH FEATURE AND MOVE EAST DURING THE LATE AFTN/EVENING HOURS.
EXPECT THUNDERSTORM CONDITIONS TO BEGIN AT KRIC AROUND 20Z AND
APPROACHING NE NC/SE VA BY 22/23Z. GUSTY WINDS OVER 30KT ALONG WITH
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VIS IN ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS(AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS) IS LIKELY EARLY
SAT MORNING AS A SLUG OF MOISTURE ADVECTS NE ALONG A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. AGAIN MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS BATCH
OF PRECIP.
THE BOUNDARY STALLS ALONG THE COAST AND REMAINS AN AREA FOR
CONVECTIVE INITIATION SAT AFTN AS THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS IN A
WARM AND MOIST ENVIRONMENT. SW WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE 18Z
TAF PERIOD WITH WINDS RELAXING DURING THE OVERNIGHT BUT PICKING BACK
UP SAT AFTN.
OUTLOOK...UNSETTLED WX IS ANTICIPATED THRU THE WEEKEND AND INTO
ERLY NEXT WEEK AS A STRONG UPR-LVL TROF BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER
THE OH VALLEY. ALONG WITH THAT...A SFC FRNTAL BNDRY IS EXPECTED
TO STALL OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUATION OF
AFTN/EVENG SHRAS/TSTMS AND THE THREAT FOR SOME PATCHY STRATUS OR
FOG AROUND SUNRISE. NO WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR IS EXPECTED.
&&
.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT HEADLINES ISSUED FOR SOUTHERN COASTAL BAYS ZONES FROM
CAPE CHARLES LIGHT SOUTH TO CURRITUCK BEACH LIGHT THROUGH 11Z SUN.
SEAS HAVE INCREASED TO AROUND 5 FEET THIS AFTN AND WILL CONTINUE TO
FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 4 AND 5 FEET AS S TO SSW FLOW CONTINUES THROUGH
MONDAY. SEAS NEAR SHORE WILL BE CLOSER TO 3 FEET AS THE FETCH WILL
NOT BE GREAT ENOUGH TO INCREASE SEAS THAT MUCH. BUT OUT TO 20
NAUTICAL MILES...EXPECT SEAS TO RANGE FORM 4 TO 6 FEET WITH THE
INCREASE IN FETCH.
LO PRES WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER THE NE STATES WITH A STALLED
FRONTAL BNDRY DRAPED DOWN OVER THE MID ATLANTIC. SOUTHERLY FLOW
SIMILAR TO THE LAST FEW DAYS WILL CONTINUE AS HI PRES SITS WELL
OFFSHORE. EXPECT SHRAS/TSTMS LATE THIS AFTN/EVENG...WITH SOME OF THE
STRONGER STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAIN.
THE PATTERN WILL BE STAGNANT THRU THE WEEKEND WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW
CONTINUING...LEADING TO 5-6 FT SEAS OVER NRN CSTL WTRS. SEAS OVER
SRN CSTL WTRS WILL MAINTAIN 5 FT THROUGH SUN MORNING AS HEADLINES
OVER NRN WTRS CONTINUE THRU SUN WITH SEAS THERE APPROACHING 6-7 FT
BY SAT NGT/SUN.
