AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
1045 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.
A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM WISCONSIN TO TEXAS WILL TRACK SLOWLY
EAST...MOVING INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE MID ATLANTIC THIS
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BACKDOOR CDFNT SLIPPED THRU MOST OF CWFA LT TAFTN...COLLIDING W/
TRRN INDUCED TSRA INVOF HGR-OKV. THE RESULTANT COMPLEX OF TSRA
MIGRATING SWD INTO THE WRN BURBS OF DC...AS WELL AS IN THE CENTRL
FOOTHILLS OF VA. TSRA HV BEEN PULSE IN NATURE...SUPPORTING LARGE
HAIL. TSRA IN AXIS OF MUCAPE 1500-2000 J/KG...W/ MINIMAL
INHIBITION. /WE WERE UNABLE TO GET A RAOB OFF DUE TO TSRA./

RECENT RUNS OF THE HRRR HAS BEEN DOING A DECENT JOB AT MODELING
STORMS...ALTHO LTST RUN /22 UTC/ NOT QUITE PICKING UP ON ACTIVITY
IN CENTRL VA ATTM. GIVEN ELY FLOW ACROS MUCH OF CWFA AS WELL AS
NOCTURNAL COOLING...THINK THAT 1...STORMS WL HV DIFFICULTY
SPREADING MUCH FURTHER EAST AND 2...A GENERAL WEAKENING TREND WL
BE OBSVD FOR THE REST OF THE EVNG.

SINCE THAT WRITING...THE TSRA INVOF METRO DC HV WEAKENED...BUT A
NEW AREA DVLPD INVOF EZF. AM STILL GOING W/ HRRR THEME...THINKING
THAT TSRA SHUDNT LAST TOO MUCH BYD MIDNGT. HWVR...THE EVE TSRA
ACTIVITY PLACES A BIG WRINKLE IN THE WAY OF OVNGT MARINE LYR FCST.
TEMPS ACRS DE/NJ IN THE MID 50S ATTM. MEANWHILE...DCA STILL 73F. AT
THIS STAGE...IT/LL BE QUITE CHALLENGING TO MAKE SUCH A BIG
ADVECTIVE CHANGE. AM STILL KEEPING CLDS IN THE FCST...BUT HV RMVD
DZ FOR ELY WED MRNG. TEMPS HV BEEN RAISED BY A CAT OR TWO
AREAWIDE. THESE CHGS HV BEEN THE SMALLEST METRO BALT GIVEN HIGH
DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY.

SHOWERS AND STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN DURING THE PEAK
HEATING HRS ON WED. POPS HIGHEST IN CENTRAL SHENANDOAH VLY AND
FOOTHILLS OF VA...WHERE CONVERGENCE AND INSTABILITY WILL BE
GREATEST NEAR THE FRONT. STABLE MARINE LAYER WILL BE MORE STUBBORN
TO MIX OUT FARTHER NORTH AND EAST. MAX TEMPS RANGE FROM LOW 70S IN
NERN MD TO MID 80S IN CENTRAL VA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING WILL AMPLIFY OVER CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THE ANOMALOUSLY FAR SOUTH EXTENT OF THIS
TROF WILL ALLOW IT TO VERY EFFICIENTLY TAP INTO GULF MOISTURE. LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE GULF STATES AND RIDE NORTH ALONG THE
UPSTREAM SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROF THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY.

LOCALLY...RELATIVELY COOL AND MOIST ONSHORE FLOW AROUND THE NORTH
SIDE OF HIGH PRESSURE SITTING OFF OF THE CAROLINA COAST MAY PERSIST
FOR THE NORTHEASTERN 1/4 TO 1/2 OF THE CWA INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
THE NAM IN PARTICULAR HOLDS ONTO THIS ONSHORE FLOW LONGER THAN OTHER
MODELS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON THURSDAY
EXPECT ANY REMAINING COOL AIR AT THE LOWER LEVELS TO MIX OUT AND
SOUTHERLY FLOW TO DOMINATE. PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN LOCALLY
AS THE LOW MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES AND
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS PARKED OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST THROUGH THE
DAY ON THURSDAY. BREEZY SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL RAISE CONCERNS FOR
MARINE HEADLINES AND COASTAL FLOOD HEADLINES...GIVEN THAT THEY WILL
COINCIDE WITH HIGH TIDAL ANOMALIES...THROUGH THE END OF THE
WORKWEEK.

THE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON...SLOWING
CONSIDERABLY OVER THE APPALACHIAN MTNS. A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD
OF THE FRONT WILL EFFECTIVELY USHER MOISTURE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY. WITH PW VALUES BETWEEN ONE AND A HALF AND
TWO INCHES OVER THE AREA FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY
MORNING AND MODERATE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT...PERSISTENT
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS COULD LEAD TO FLOODING CONCERNS.

A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM ALONG THE STALLED FRONT EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING AND RIDE UP ALONG THE EAST COAST THROUGH THE DAY ON
FRIDAY. THOUGH THERE IS MINOR MODEL DISAGREEMENT ABOUT THE EXACT
LOCATION OF THIS FRONT...THE EFFECTS OF THE WAVE ARE GENERALLY
AGREED UPON. THE HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD FALL AS THE WAVE PASSES LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL
DEPEND UPON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW. THE UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL
BECOME MORE NEGATIVELY TILTED BY THIS TIME AND THE PASSAGE OF THE
WAVE WILL USHER THE FRONT OFF OF THE COAST THROUGH THE DAY ON
FRIDAY...WITH CHANCE POPS HANGING AROUND INTO THE EVENING MOSTLY
ALONG AND EAST OF I95.

HIGHS THURS WILL BE NEAR 80 E OF BLUE RIDGE AND MID 70S W. FRIDAY
SHOULD BE ABOUT 10 DEG COOLER AS THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
LATE THURS NIGHT/FRI MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SURFACE FRONT WILL BE CLEARING THE EASTERN ZONES/BAY FRIDAY EVENING
ALTHOUGH FRONT ALOFT WILL STILL BE PUSHING EAST. SINCE TREND HAS
BEEN FOR SLOWER PROGRESSION WITH THE FROPA...HAVE LINGERED POPS INTO
THE FRIDAY EVENING HOURS ACCORDINGLY. LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES OCCLUDES AND BECOME CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AS COLD POOL ALOFT MOVES
OVERHEAD SATURDAY...DIURNALLY INDUCED INSTABILITY SCATTERED SHOWERS
LOOK POSSIBLE...MAINLY ACROSS THE ELEVATED TERRAIN AS WEAK VORT MAX
ROUND THE BASE OF THE LOW THERE. WILL LIKELY SEE AT LEAST GOOD CU
FIELDS BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM RAINS
AND SURFACE HEATING. MOUNTAIN AFTERNOON INSTABILITY SHOWERS WILL
ALSO POSSIBLE AGAIN ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COMFORTABLE AND
A BIT LOWER THAN NORMAL WITH THIS COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS IN PLACE
INTO MONDAY.

TSRA INVOF MRB/IAD/CHO ABT OVER. VFR CONDS FOR THE REMINDER OF THE
EVNG INTO THE OVNGT HRS.

IFR CIGS WITH LOW CLOUDS POTENTIALLY WL MOVE IN OVNGT...BUT

FCSTR TO ADDRESS THIS CLOSELY.

CIGS GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO MVFR AND VFR FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE
TERMINALS BY MIDDAY WED. ADDITIONAL SHRA AND TSRA POSSIBLE IN VC OF

IFR CONDITIONS MAY EXIST IN LOW CEILINGS...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND. A
COUPLE OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MAY BRING SCATTERED AFTERNOON
SHOWERS.

.MARINE...
STILL HV SCA CONDS AT TPLM2...BUT NO WHERE ELSE. MARINE AMS ACRS
DELMARVA...WHILE SUMMER AMS W OF THE BAY. IF THE MARINE AIR
ADVECTS WWD...IT/LL HV TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY A STIFF BREEZE. DONT
THINK THAT WL HPPN...AND WL PLAN FOR A MIDNGT EXPIRATION. HWVR...
WL ADVISE MIDSHIFT FCSTR.
