AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
528 AM EDT FRI JUN 26 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION
WITH SEVERAL AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING EAST ALONG IT THROUGH
SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT PUSHES OFF THE COAST BY SUNDAY MORNING...
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
LTST MSAS SHOWING STALLED FRNTL BNDRY BASICALLY ACROSS SNR TIER
CNTYS OF VA WITH A TROF OF LOW PRS XTNDG NE JUST OFF THE DELMARVA
CST WITH ANTHR TROF OF LOW PRS XTNDG SOUTH INTO NERN NC. SHWR/TSTRM
ACTIVITY WILL MOVE OFF THE SERN CSTL AREAS ARND 12Z.

LTST MODELS TAKE LOW PRS OFF THE COAST THIS MORNING ALLOWING THE
FRNTL BNDRY TO DRIFT SOUTH NTO NRN NC THIS EVENING BEFORE STALLING
IT THERE TONIGHT. NOT MUCH SPRT FOR PCPN THRU 18Z BUT WILL KEEP
LOW CHC POPS FOR ANY SHWRS THAT DVLP IN MOIST SE FLOW.

NEXT IN A SERIES OF S/W IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT APPRCH THE RGN FROM THE
W AFTR 18Z. THIS ALONG WITH SOME PRTL SUNSHINE ALLOWS SCT CONVECTION
TO DVLP. SPC HAS PUT AREAS ALONG AND W OF I95 IN A SLGHT RISK FOR
SVR TSTRMS. ALTHOUGH THE SHEAR IS NOT AS HIGH AS IT WAS YSTRDY...
THERE STILL APPEARS TO BE ENUF TO SPRT A FEW LINE SEGMENTS WHICH
COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. ONCE AGAIN THE TIMING WOULD BE
MORE LATE AFTRN AND EVENING. CAPPED POPS AT 30-50% THRU 00Z ATTM.
(HIGHEST WEST). EXPECT A WIDE RANGE IN TMPS TDY DUE TO THE FRNTL
LCTN AND ONSHORE FLOW. HIGHS RANGE FROM THE U70S- M80S ALONG TCSTL
SCTNS...M80S- L90S W OF THE BAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
KEPT LIKELY POPS FA WIDE TONIGHT WITH THUNDER CHCS LOWERING A BIT
AFTR MIDNIGHT. FRNTL BNDRY BEGINS TO DRIFT NORTH A BIT TOWARD THE
NC/VA BRDR BY 12Z SAT. THIS TO BE THE TRIGGER TO KEEP HIGH POPS
THRU THE NIGHT. LOWS U60S-M70S.

VERY INTERESTING AND CHALLENGING FCST SHAPING UP FOR SAT. WARM FRNT
PROGGED TO LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE FA AS TRIPLE PT LOW TRACKS NE ALONG
THE MTS. THIS MAY RESULT IN A WEAK INSITU-WEDGE SCENARIO KEEPING THE
WRN PIEDMONT COOLER AND A BIT MORE STABLE THAN THE REST OF THE FA AS
IT GETS WARM SECTORED. COPIOUS MSTR SURGING NORTH ALONG WITH EMBEDDED
WEAKNESSES WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD PCPN THRU OUT THE DAY. ONCE
AGAIN...SPC HAS THE ENTIRE AREA IN SLGHT RISK FOR SVR TSRMS LATER
IN THE DAY. THE EXTENT OF THE SVR WILL DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK
OF TRIPLE PT LOW AND WRM FRNT. DATA SUGGESTS PSBL SUPERCELL DVLPMNT
IN WRM SCTR IVOF WRM FRNT (PSBL TORNADOS)WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
LARGE HAIL PSBL IN BOWING LINE SEGMENTS AHEAD OF APPRCHG CDFRNT
TOWARD EVENING. TMPS TRICKY AS WELL GIVEN THE UNCERTAINITY OF
SYNPOTIC FEATURES. HIGHS IN THE U70S NWR MOST CNTYS IN WEDGED
AIRMASS ...TO L80S NRN MOST CNTYS AS THE FRNT IS SLOW TO LIFT
NRTH. HIGHS SOUTH OF THE BNDRY M-U80S.

NEXT CONCERN IS FOR ADNTL HVY RNFL GIVEN THE RNFL ACROSS THE FA PAST
24 HRS. SOME 1-3 INCH AMTS ACROSS THE I64 AND RT 460 CORIDORS HAVE
SATURATED THE GRND (2.90 INCHES MEASURED AT AKQ). ANTHR 1-2 INCH QPF
WITH LCLLY HIGHER AMTS MAY RESULT IN LATER SHIFTS HAVING TO CONSIDER
A FLOOD WATCH.

SFC LOW PRES TRACKS NE INVOF ST LAWRENCE RVR VLY SAT NGT INTO SUN
PUSHES ITS ASSOCIATED CDFNT OFF THE NE/MDATLC CSTS. SHWRS/TSTRMS
TAPER OFF THEN ENDS W-E AFTR MIDNIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT AS CLD FRNT
SWEEPS OFFSHORE. LOWS IN THE M60S-L70S. TSCTNS SHOW COLUMN DRYING
SUNDAY LEADING TO A MSTLY SUNNY AND DRY DAY. HIGHS IN THE M-U80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LONG TERM PERIOD WILL FEATURE AN UPR-LEVEL TROF OVER THE ERN CONUS
WITH NR NORMAL TEMPS. DRY WX TO START OFF THE PERIOD SUN NIGHT AND
MON BEHIND A COLD FRNT PUSHING OFFSHORE. HI TEMPS MON IN THE MID TO
UPR 80S. UPR-LEVEL TROF AXIS SWINGS TOWARDS THE MID ATLC TUE...AND
WITH A LEE TROF INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRAS/TSTMS. HI TEMPS IN
THE UPR 80S TO LWR 90S. EXPECT TYPICAL CHANCES (20-30%) OF
AFTN/EVENG SHRAS/TSTMS WED AND THU WITH TRANSIENT SHORTWAVES PASSING
THRU THE MID ATLC AND DEWPTS IN THE UPR 60S. TEMPS AGAIN MAX OUT IN
THE UPR 80S TO NR 90.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO WANE ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING. TSTMS WILL MOVE THROUGH KSBY AND KECG THRU 07Z...THEN
JUST ISOLD TO WIDELY SCT -SHRA/-TSRA WILL LINGER OVERNIGHT. IT
WILL BE TOUGH TO TIME ANY ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT THRU THE
MORNING HOURS SO WILL LEAVE ADDITIONAL PCPN OUT OF TAFS FOR NOW.
A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION LATER TODAY...THEN STALLS
AHEAD OF A STRONGER UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. THERE
WILL BE A CHANCE FOR MORE TSTMS THIS AFTN/EVE WITH SOME MVFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.

OUTLOOK...ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATE SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT. WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND SCT TSTMS ARE FORECAST. VFR
CONDITIONS AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER ARE FORECAST SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE
WATERS THIS MORNING. BY MIDDAY/EARLY AFTN...THE FRONT STARTS TO SAG
SOUTH AND SHOULD END UP PUSHING SOUTH INTO EASTERN NC TONIGHT WHERE
IT STALLS OUT ONCE AGAIN. WINDS WILL REMAIN AOB 15 KT FROM THE N OR
NE ACROSS THE NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS AND NORTHERN CHES BAY.
MEANWHILE...W OR SW WINDS AOB 15 KT ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
WATERS WILL BECOME N OR NE DURING THE AFTN HOURS AS THE FRONT HEADS
SOUTH. WITH THE FRONT STALLED TO THE SOUTH OF THE WATERS
TONIGHT...WINDS WILL BECOME E AOB 15 KT ALL WATERS. A POTENT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT APPROACH THE WATERS BY LATE
SATURDAY. MEANWHILE...A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OVER THE WATERS
DURING THE DAY. WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING UP A BIT ON
SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WINDS SHOULD INCREASE
TO SCA LEVELS (AT LEAST IN GUSTS) FOR MUCH OF THE WATERS. IN
ADDITION...THESE E-SE FLOW SHOULD BUILD SEAS TO 5-6 FT ON THE OCEAN
AND PERHAPS UP TO 4 FT ON THE CHES BAY. BEING THAT THE ONSET OF SAID
SCA CONDITIONS WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL THE 3RD PERIOD (SAT)...WILL HOLD
OFF ON HOISTING HEADLINES ATTM. THE COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...WITH HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING
LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. SCA CONDITIONS MAY CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY
BEFORE IMPROVING MONDAY.
