AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
301 PM EDT SUN MAR 24 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
COASTAL LOW PRESSURE WILL IMPACT THE AREA LATER TODAY THROUGH MONDAY
WITH WINTRY PRECIPITATION. HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE MIDWEST WILL
SLOWLY BUILD TOWARD THE AREA TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF THE COMING WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
/HEADLINES/
- A WINTER WX ADZY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE SHEN VLY PORTION
OF THE CWA...A NOW THE ADZY HAS BEEN EXPANDED A TIER OF COUNTIES
WEST BUT MAINLY FOR THE ERN SIDE OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND THOSE AREAS
MORE SO THAN THE ERN SIDE OF THESE COUNTIES FROM ALBEMARLE TO
CARROLL.
- A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE WRN-MOST COUNTIES
ALONG THE CNTRL APLCNS AND INTO THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS. THIS MAY NEED
TO BE EXPANDED FURTHER EAST OVER THE I-68/I-70 CORRIDOR - NRN SHEN
VLY IN LATER GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO TREND COLDER FOR THESE AREAS BUT
ATTM...STILL APPEARS THAT ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS WILL MIX IN W/ THE
PERIODS OF FALLING SNOW AND WILL LIMIT ACCUMS ACROSS THE VLYS.
- THE DC/BALT METRO AREAS STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR ADZY LEVEL
SNOW BUT FOR THE ONE-INCH DURING MRNG RUSH HR CRITERIA MON MRNG.
WILL NEED TO MONITOR TEMP TRENDS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS TO ASSESS
THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWS OVER THE WRN/NRN DC BALT
SUBURBS.
TNGT DSCN...
HERE AT THE TAIL END OF MARCH...AN IMPRESSIVE AND COMPLEX STORM
SYSTEM HAS BEEN TAKING SHAPE AND MARCHING ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF
THE CNTRL/SRN US. THE SECONDARY LOW THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CROSS OUR
AREA TOMORROW IS CURRENTLY DUMPING SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ALONG THE
I-44 CORRIDOR IN MO/IL...WILL CONTINUE ALONG I-70 ACROSS THE OHIO
VLY INTO EARLY MON. BUT EVEN AS THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO DROP
SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THESE AREAS...IT WILL ENCOUNTER A MUCH
MORE COMPLEX AIRMASS/ENVIRONMENT AS IT APPROACHES THE I-95 CORRIDOR.
WE'VE ALREADY HAD A COUPLE OF SIMILAR EVENTS EARLIER IN THIS
MONTH...SHOWING A DIFFICULTY FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE LOWLANDS AND COASTAL AREAS.
THE INCOMING SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE - OR MOVE ACROSS THE REGION IN TWO
LARGELY SEPARATE SEGMENTS. THE FIRST IS THE PRECIP CURRENTLY ON THE
DOORSTEP OF THE I-66 CORRIDOR OF NRN VA WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO
SLOWLY OVERSPREAD THE CWA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS. A 20 DEG
TEMP-DEWPOINT DIFFERENCE NOT ONLY AT THE SFC BUT MAINLY HOLDING
STEADY IN THE LOWEST FEW THOU FT WILL NEED TO BE OVERCOME. WEBCAMS
AND OBS OVER SRN-SWRN VA ARE FINALLY STARTING TO SHOW PRECIP
ARRIVING AND ACCUMULATING SNOW...ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND HIGHER
TERRAIN...AT LEAST A COUPLE OF HRS AFTER PRECIP APPEARED ON RADAR.
EVEN W/ THIS ACTIVITY ON THE CUSP OF ARRIVING AND MOVING OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE DC/BALT AREAS AND POINTS WEST...UNCERTAINTY REMAINS
AS TO POSSIBLE ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW ALONG THE HWY 29 CORRIDOR AND
THE PIEDMONT LATER THIS AFTN/EVE. TEMPS HAVE GRADUALLY RISEN INTO
THE L40S AREAWIDE AND WILL PEAK IN THE M40S BEFORE PRECIP ARRIVES.
AREAS THAT DO RECEIVE FALLING SNOW E OF THE MTNS WILL LIKELY SEE IT
MELT QUICKLY AND WILL ALSO SEE IT MIXED W/ RAIN...FURTHER PREVENTING
ACCUMULATIONS. THE BLUE RIDGE AND APLCNS HOWEVER WILL LIKELY START
TO SEE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF INCHES PILE UP THIS EVE AND INTO
TONIGHT...IF NOT LOCALLY MORE AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS.
OVERNIGHT...
THESE CONSIDERATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD TRUE WELL INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HRS...AS THE FIRST BATCH OF PRECIP ASSOCIATED W/ THE FIRST
PHASE OF THE STORM PASSES TO OUR EAST AND OFF THE COAST. THERE WILL
BE A COUPLE-FEW HRS OF A BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS...W/ A CONTINUED
LIGHT AND SCATTERED MIX OF RAIN/SNOW ACROSS THE REGION AND LITTLE IN
THE WAY OF ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION OUTSIDE THE MTNS. BY LATE
TONIGHT...THE SFC LOW FROM CURRENTLY NEAR ST LOUIS WILL ALREADY BE
SLIDING WELL INTO THE OHIO VLY AND INTO WV DURING THE EARLY MRNG
HRS. AT THIS TIME HOWEVER...THE DYNAMIC TRANSFERRING OF ENERGY FROM
THIS LOW TO A RAPIDLY DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW OVER THE VA TIDEWATER
WILL OCCUR. THIS FEATURE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A LARGE PORTION OF
THE EVENTUAL PRECIP THAT SPREADS OVER THE CWA AND DELMARVA MON
MRNG/AFTN.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
THOUGH NEARLY 3 WEEKS LATER AND NOT EXACTLY THE SAME SET-UP...THERE
ARE SIMILARITIES TO THE MARCH 6-7TH EVENT. A WEAKER BUT PRESENT
UPPER VORT OVER NOVA SCOTIA: BUKFIT SOUNDINGS FOR THE UPCOMING
SYSTEM SHOW SIMILAR MID-LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS AS THE LOW STRENGTHENS
OFF THE MID-ATLC COAST. A STRONG ELY FLOW DOMINATES LOWEST 5KFT AT
THE HEIGHT OF WHAT WOULD BE THE HEAVIEST PRECIP BETWEEN THE BLUE
RIDGE AND THE CHSPKE BAY. FOR THE MARCH 6-7TH EVENT...THIS ALSO
OCCURRED ABOUT THE SAME TIME OF DAY - MID MRNG THRU MID
AFTN...RESULTING IN LITTLE-TO-NO SNOW ACCUMULATION ALONG THE I-95
CORRIDOR. NEARLY ALL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO PAINT SEVERAL INCHES OF
PURE SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA AT SOME POINT IN THE EVENT...BUT
SEVERAL FACTORS WILL LIKELY COUNTERACT THIS AND DIFFER W/ THESE
MODELS' DEPICTIONS OF COLDER TEMPS.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WELL...MARCH MAY TYPICALLY GO OUT AS A LAMB BUT THIS MONTH SEEMS
TO HV HAD A LOT MORE LION IN IT. AS I WROTE Y'DAY I CAN'T RECALL A
MARCH HERE WHERE WE'D HAD THIS MANY PTNL SNOWS E OF THE MTNS. BUT
WHAT SHOULD BE THE FINAL PTNL SNOW PRODUCER OF THE MONTH SHOULD BE
WINDING DOWN ON NGT AS THE LOW TRACKS OFF THE NJ CST AND S OF LONG
ISLAND. IN ITS WAKE NW WINDS WL DVLP OVRNGT...AND W/ THAT A
CONTINUATION OF THE UPSLOPE SNSH IN THE HIGHLANDS. THESE COULD
CONT ON TUE..IN FACT ISOLD RW COLD OCCUR ANYWHERE IN THE CWA DURG
TUE AFTN DUE EARLY SPRING HTG AND INSTABILITY.
LOWS MON NGT IN THE LM30S E OF THE BLUE RDG..20S W. HIGHS TUE ALL
XCPT THE FAR W SHOULD BE IN M40S.
IT LOOKS LK THE HIGH PRES OVR THE MIDWEST WL BE SLOW TO BUILD E.
THIS WL KEEP THE E CST ON THE WRN SIDE OF CYCLONIC FLOW...WHICH WL
KEEP THE MID ATLC ABT TEN DEGS BLO NRML ON TEMPS. A SLOW TEMP
MODERATION WL OCCUR AS THE WK PROGRESSES.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE MID ATLC REGION ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE
QUICKLY IN THE NEXT FEW HRS FROM SOUTH-TO-NORTH. KCHO IS ON THE CUSP
OF RECEIVING THE ONSET OF A RAIN/SNOW MIX WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY
SPREAD NWD OVER THE KIAD/KDCA AREAS AROUND 22-23Z...W/ THE BALT AREA
A COUPLE OF HRS LATER. THIS INITIAL BATCH OF PRECIP SHOULDN'T
ACCUMULATE MUCH...AND KEEP ROADS/TARMAC WET.
A BREAK IN THE ACTION SHOULD OCCUR LATER TONIGHT BEFORE THE NEXT
WAVE OF PRECIP MOVES ACROSS DURING THE MRNG/EARLY AFTN HRS MON.
PERIODS OF MODERATE/HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME...BUT WILL
BE INTERACTING W/ TEMPS JUST ABOVE FREEZING AND HAVE TROUBLE
ACCUMULATING. CIGS WILL DROP WELL INTO IFR RANGE AND SUB-IFR AT
TIMES...W/ VSBYS FOLLOWING SUIT AT TIMES UNDER THE HEAVIER PRECIP.
CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE HEADING INTO THE AFTN HRS MON...AS
WINDS INCREASE OUT OF THE NORTH - BUT ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL
BEGIN TO EXIT OFF THE COAST MON EVE INTO THE NIGHTTIME HRS.
CIGS SHOULD BE ON THE INCRS MON NGT. TUE SHOULD BE BRZY W/ PSBL
RW/SW IN HE AFTN. CONDS SHOULD CONT TO IMPROVE THRU MIDWEEK.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS HAVE DECREASED FROM EARLIER LEVELS THIS MORNING W/ MAINLY A
STIFF ELY BREEZE CURRENTLY. THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVE
HRS...EVENTUALLY SHIFTING TOWARD NLY AS A COASTAL LOW DEVELOPS NEAR
THE MOUTH OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY EARLY MON. WINDS WILL INCREASE AS
THE LOW STRENGTHENS AND MOVES PARALLEL TO THE DELAWARE/MD COAST.
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO SCA RANGE FOR ALL THE WATER DURING THE MID
MRNG AND AFTN HRS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE LOW'S PRESENCE AND STRENGTH
OFF THE MID ATLC COAST...CARRYING WAVES OF RAIN AND A RAIN/SNOW MIX.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST ALONG W/ THE LOW BY THE EVE
HRS ON MON...REDUCING WINDS AND IMPROVING WX CONDITIONS.
SCA XPCTD FOR TUE. HIGH PRES BUILDS IN WED THRU FRI.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
NO COASTAL FLOOD PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TODAY. COASTAL LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OFF THE VA/NC COAST TONIGHT. NORTHEAST WINDS
WILL INCREASE DURING THIS TIME. TIDAL ANOMALIES WILL INCREASE...
BUT WATER LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW THRESHOLDS FOR MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING DUE TO THE RELATIVELY LOW ASTRONOMICAL NORMS. LOW
PRESSURE WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE REGION MONDAY AS IT INTENSIFIES.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE ONSHORE FLOW TO TURN OFFSHORE.
