AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
222 PM EST TUE JAN 28 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST TODAY...WILL TRACK NORTHEAST
OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
RETURNS THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...ADDED WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR WESTMORELAND COUNTY VA AND
UPDATED FORECAST TO INCLUDE SLEET ACROSS NE NC.
A SHALLOW LAYER WARM NOSE BTWN 850-750 MB WILL ALLOW JUST ENOUGH
MELTING FOR A PERIOD OF SLEET OR A SLEET/SNOW MIX TO OCCUR THIS
EVENING... ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE ALBEMARLE SOUND. THE CHANGE TO
A P-TYPE OF SLEET HAS LOWERED SNOW RATIOS AND STORM TOTAL SNOW
ESTIMATES BY SEVERAL INCHES IN THE FAR SRN PORTIONS OF NE NC...
ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL TOTALS IN THE WINTER STORM WARNING WILL
STILL AVERAGE OUT TO 6 TO 12 INCHES (JUST THE DISTRIBUTION HAS
CHANGED). A PERIOD OF ENHANCEMENT IS STILL EXPECTED THIS EVENING
PRIMARILY ACROSS SE VA/NE NC...WHICH WILL HELP TO MAINTAIN CURRENT
SNOWFALL FORECAST IN THE SE. MEANWHILE...DRY CONDITIONS (I.E.
DEWPOINTS OF ZERO DEGREES OR BELOW) ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE
AREA WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE ATMOSPHERE TO SATURATE ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT SNOWFALL AT THE SFC. THIS WILL DELAY THE ONSET OF SNOW
BY AT LEAST 3-6 HRS. HOWEVER STRONG FRONTOGENETIC FORCING AND A
DEVELOPING DEFORMATION ZONE THIS EVENING WILL ENHANCE PRECIPITATION
RATES AND THUS FINALLY OVERCOME THE DRY SFC AIRMASS IN PLACE...THUS
ALLOWING SNOW TO START ACCUMULATING. SNOWFALL RATES (INCLUDING
SLEET IN NE NC) WILL BECOME MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED FORCING GETS UNDER WAY. TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL
BECOME DANGEROUS THIS EVENING INTO WED MORNING DUE TO SNOW
ACCUMULATING QUICKLY ON THE ROADWAYS. ADDITIONAL TWEAKS TO THE
ONGOING FORECAST WILL BE MADE THIS AFTN WITH ANOTHER UPDATE
EXPECTED WITH THE FORECAST PACKAGE BY 4 PM. PLEASE REFER TO
WWW.ERH.NOAA.GOV/AKQ FOR THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...COLD FRONT WELL OFF THE COAST WITH ARCTIC
AIR SPILLING OVER THE MTS ATTM. MEANWHILE...MODELS IN DECENT
AGREEMENT IN DEVELOPING LOW PRS OFF THE CAROLINA COAST TODAY THEN
MOVING IT NE ALONG THE GULF STREAM WALL TONIGHT BEFORE PULLING
AWAY FROM THE AREA WEDNESDAY. THE RESULT HERE WILL BE A RATHER
IMPRESSIVE SOUTHERN SNOW STORM.
S/W APPROACHING FROM THE TENN VALLEY WILL CREATE A STRONG THERMAL
GRADIENT WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE FRONTOGENETIC LIFT IN THE SNOW GROWTH
ZONE ACROSS THE AREA LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. SOME DIFFERENCES IN
THE 00Z MODELS SHOWING A SLOWER START TO THE PCPN ACROSS NC THIS
MORNING BUT SHOWING A WETTER SOLUTION WITH MORE QPF...ESPECIALLY
FURTHER WEST. GIVEN THE ARCTIC AIRMASS...CRITICAL THICKNESSES ALL
SHOW P-TYPE TO SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. ANY MIXING OF SLEET
PROGGED AT OR SOUTH OF THE ALBEMARLE SOUND. THE ARCTIC AIRMASS ALSO
CHANGES THE NATURE OF THE SNOW. DECIDED TO GO WITH AN AVERAGE SLR OF
ARND 15:1.
FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE SNOWFALL ACCUMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
I95 CORRIDOR ON WEST AS MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A SHARP CUTOFF TO
THE SGNFCNT QPF. DESPITE A QPF OF AROUND .25 ACROSS CENTRAL VA
METRO AREAS...BELIEVE SOME OF THIS WILL GO INTO SATURATING THE
LAYERS GIVEN THE EXTREMELY DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE THUS CUTTING DOWN
ACCUMS SOMEWHAT. MEANWHILE...THIS WILL ALSO BE A DRY FLUFFY SNOW
THAT CAN ACCUM RATHER QUICKLY...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS OF MDT TO HVY
SNOW. QPF ARND 0.80 ACROSS SERN VA/NE NC RESULTS IN AMTS AT OR
ABOVE 10 INCHES.
WITH ALL THIS IN MIND...CHANGES TO HEADLINES INCLUDE...LEAVING
THE WARNING AREAS ALONE BUT INCREASING SNOWFALL TOTALS BY
GENERALLY 1-2 INCHES ACROSS ALL COUNTIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN
WINTER HEADLINES. ADDED ANOTHER WINTER WX ADVISORY SEGMENT FOR
COUNTYS FURTHER WEST (INCLUDING RIC/PTB METRO OUT TO FVX) FOR
1-3 INCHES. THINKING HERE IS ARND 1 INCH NEAR FVX...2-3 INVOF I-95.
THIS ALSO AGREES WITH LATEST SREF PLUMES AND 00Z EURO.
EXPECT SNOWFALL TO BEGIN EARLY THIS AFTN ACROSS SE WITH MOST OTHER
AREAS SEEING SNOW BY LATE THIS AFTN. ACCUM SNOW NOT EXPECTED
INVOF I-95 CORRIDOR UNTIL ARND SUNSET. ECG/ORF NAM SOUNDING ARE
INDICATING A PERIOD OF STRONG OMEGA WITH AMPLE MOISTURE THROUGH
THE SNOW GROWTH ZONE FROM 21Z TUE TO 06Z WED. THROUGH THIS TIME
PERIOD...EXPECT HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES WITH SNOW ACCUMULATING VERY
QUICKLY. EXPECT SNOW TO END WEST TO EAST LATE TONIGHT ACROSS WRN
HALF OF FA...EARLY WED MORNING ALONG THE COAST.
TEMPS GO NOWHERE ONCE PCPN STARTS WITH CAA KEEPING READINGS GNRLY

SNOWFALL RATES INTENSIFY TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES OFFSHORE.
IFR/LIFR CIGS AND VISIBILITIES RANGING FROM 1/2SM TO 1SM (POSSIBLY
1/4SM AT TIMES) SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED ACROSS NE NC AND FAR SE VA
DURING THIS TIME...ESPECIALLY AT TERMINALS KECG/KORF/KPHF. NORTH
WINDS ACROSS EASTERN AREAS MAY GUST UP TO 25 KT...PRODUCING AREAS
OF BLOWING SNOW LATE TONIGHT NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

NC COAST DURING WEDNESDAY AFTN. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE
MID ATLANTIC REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY FOR
VFR CONDITIONS.

.MARINE...
COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED WELL SOUTH OF THE WATERS EARLY THIS MORNING.
BASED ON CURRENT CONDITIONS...STILL EXPECT SOME LULL IN THE PRESSURE
PATTERN TODAY WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN BAY/OCEAN WATERS LATER THIS MORNING INTO THIS EVENING AS THE
SFC LOW IS SLOW TO STRENGTHEN OFF NC/SC COAST. ANY LULL WILL BE
RATHER BRIEF ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WATERS SO WILL CONTINUE CURRENT SCA
INTO WED MORNING/AFTERNOON. AN INCREASE IN WINDS/SEAS IS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT...SO ONCE THE CURRENT SCA
EXPIRES LATER THIS MORNING...ANOTHER SCA WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE
ISSUED.
GIVEN THE WIND SPEEDS AND TEMPS...FREEZING SPRAY WILL BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SNOW (MODERATE TO HEAVY TIMES) WILL ADD TO
REDUCE VSBYS LATE TODAY/TONIGHT FROM THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CHES
BAY AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS ON SOUTH.
