OPEN CELLULAR CONVECTION INDICATED IN VISIBLE SATELLITE TRENDS
THIS AFTN INVOF THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH (LOCATED OVER CNTRL VA) AND
SFC COLD FRONT (LOCATED OVER WRN VA)...WITH A MORE WIDESPREAD
SWATH OF CLOUDS/STRATIFORM PRECIP LOCATED ACROSS NC WHERE A WEAK
DISTURBANCE IS POSITIONED ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST. DECENT
CLEARING WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR TODAY HAS SUFFICIENTLY
DESTABILIZED THE ATMOSPHERE AND NOW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED
BTWN THE TROUGH AND FRONT THIS AFTN. STORM STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF
BROKEN LINE SEGMENTS ATTM BUT WILL FILL IN AS THE EVENING
PROGRESSES. SFC AND MU CAPE VALUES ARE AROUND 2000 J/KG WITH SFC

MODEL DATA THAT IS A TAD HIGH AROUND 2.30 INCHES. EITHER WAY...
THERE IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE PRESENT AND AVAILABLE FOR LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY UNDER STRONGER
STORM CORES. BULK SHEAR VALUES FROM 0-6KM ARE AVERAGING 30KT
DURING THE FROPA AND STEERING FLOW ALOFT IS W-NW AT 30-40KT WHICH
INDICATES ADEQUATE STORM MOVEMENT TO REDUCE FLOODING POTENTIAL.
THIS CAN ALSO BE SEEN IN CURRENT RADAR LOOPS. WV IMAGERY AND MODEL
SOUNDINGS/CROSS SECTIONS SHOW PLENTY OF MID- LEVEL DRY AIR PRESENT
WHICH WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORM WIND
GUSTS. SPC CONTINUES A MARGINAL RISK AREA FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY AND WILL KEEP MENTION OF STRONG WIND GUSTS AND LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL WITHIN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK (HWO) THROUGH
TONIGHT.

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER OVER FAR SE VA AND COASTAL NE NC WED
MORNING...BUT SHOULD END BY MID MORNING AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE
SLOWLY BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST AND SHUNTS THE STALLED SFC FRONT
FARTHER SWD BY WED AFTN. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE
WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH FRI. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS AND A MORE
COMFORTABLE AIRMASS UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. HIGHS IN THE MID 80S
WED-FRI (ROUGHLY 5 DEGREES COOLER AT THE BEACHES DUE TO
N-E/ONSHORE WINDS). LOWS IN THE 60S WED NIGHT-FRI NIGHT (SLIGHTLY
WARMER AT THE BEACHES).
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LONG TERM PERIOD WILL FEATURE TRANQUIL WX CONDS WITH HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE REGION DURING THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
MODELS DIFFER SLIGHTLY LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEST WEEK
WITH THE GFS WORKING A WEAK FRONT INTO THE AREA WHILE THE ECMWF
KEEPS EVERYTHING TO THE NORTH AND CONDITIONS DRY. HAVE TRENDED
TOWARD A DRY SOLUTION. EXPECT UPR 80S BOTH SAT AND SUN WITH LO
TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPR 60S MOST SPOTS. CAN'T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
SHRA/TSTM EITHER DAY WITH AN UPR- LEVEL TROF OVER THE ERN
CONUS...BUT WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST FOR NOW WITH DEEP
MOISTURE AND LIFT LACKING.
THE WEATHER PATTERN DOES NOT CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY UNTIL THE MIDDLE

.MARINE...
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IS DOMINATING OVER THE WATERS AND BAY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WINDS
HAVE DROPPED BELOW 18 KT OVER THE BAY THEREFORE THE SCA HAS BEEN
CANCELED. THERE COULD BE A BRIEF SURGE OF SW WINDS AHEAD OF THE

REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM NEAR
RICHMOND TO SOUTH HILL WAS RAPIDLY PUSHING ESE AND WILL REACH THE
