AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
542 AM EST SAT FEB 21 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE TRACKS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY LATER
TODAY AND ALONG THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY ON SUNDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL LIFT A WARM FRONT NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT...THEN DRAG A MODIFIED ARCTIC COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA
ON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
EXPANDED WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO INCLUDE AREAS ALONG AND NORTH
OF A LINE FROM FARMVILLE TO ASHLAND TO TAPPAHANNOCK AND ENE INTO
DORCHESTER MD. THIS IS DUE TO HOW COLD THE AIRMASS IS INITIALLY
THIS MORNING AND 00Z RAOBS VERIFYING ABOUT 1 C COLDER THAN THE BULK
OF MODEL GUIDANCE. ALSO EXTENDED THE ADVISORY ANOTHER 3 HRS FOR
FLUVANNA/LOUISA DUE TO EXPECTATION THAT THESE AREAS WILL WARM
SLOWER THAN WHAT THE MODELS DEPICT (TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS).
LOW PRESSURE TRACKS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE TN/OH VALLEYS TODAY. HIGH
CLOUDS FROM THIS SYSTEM ARE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEST TO
EAST THIS MORNING AS LIGHT OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION MAKES ITS WAY
INTO THE SW VIRGINIA PANHANDLE. LIGHT SNOW IS BEING REPORTED IN
THIS AREA WITH A MIX OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN/SLEET ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS IN WRN TN/KY. FOR THE WAKEFIELD CWA...
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DIP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS FOR
MOST INLAND AREAS OVERNIGHT. COASTAL SE VA/NE NC ARE IN THE LOW
TEENS. BUT THE MOST IMPRESSIVE LOWS HAVE BEEN ON THE MD/VA EASTERN
SHORE WHERE TEMPERATURES DROPPED BELOW ZERO FOR A PERIOD OF
4-5 HOURS FROM 11 PM LAST NIGHT THROUGH AROUND 4 AM THIS MORNING.
OCEAN CITY REACHED 6 BELOW ZERO WITH THE 11 PM ASOS READING LAST
NIGHT AND SALISBURY HIT 4 BELOW ZERO AROUND 1 AM THIS MORNING.
WITH MUCH COLDER AIR ALREADY IN PLACE AND MODEL DATA OBSERVED AS A
FEW DEGREES TO WARM COMPARED TO REAL-TIME OBSERVATIONS...HAVE
ADJUSTED THE FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR MORE SNOW INITIALLY AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED OVERRUNNING PRECIP MOVES INTO THE AREA FROM THE SW.
LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE HALF INCH OR LESS ARE ANTICIPATED
DURING THE MORNING. A WARM FRONT SLOWLY LIFTS NWD TWD THE AREA
THIS AFTN. WAA PROCESSES AT THE SFC WITH A WEAK WARM NOSE ALOFT
WILL BE SLOW TO OVERTAKE THE COLDER AIR ALREADY IN PLACE...THUS
MAKING THE TEMPERATURE AND PRECIP-TYPE FORECAST A BIT TRICKY LATER
TODAY. AM EXPECTING TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE LOW-MID 30S NW WHERE
MORE PREDOMINANT CLOUDS AND PRECIP WILL PREVAIL...AND LOW-MID 40S
SE WHERE BREEZY SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL MIX WARMER AND A MORE MOIST
MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER INTO THE AREA. AS PRECIPITATION INCREASES
ACROSS THE NW AND SLOWLY MIGRATES EWD THIS AFTN...LIGHT SNOW WILL
BECOME MIXED WITH LIGHT SLEET NW AND TURN TO ALL RAIN SE.
TEMPERATURES WILL LEVEL OUT BY THIS EVENING AND SHOULD REMAIN
FAIRLY STEADY UNDER PRECIP/CLOUDS. THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
LIFT NWD ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW PRECIP-TYPES
TO TRANSITION TO A RAIN/SLEET MIX JUST NW OF METRO RICHMOND FROM
FARMVILLE TO ASHLAND TO BOWLING GREEN AND INTO DORCHESTER MD...WITH
FREEZING RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS FLUVANNA/LOUISA COUNTIES WHERE TEMPS
WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH MUCH HIGHER THAN FREEZING. ELSEWHERE...
EXPECT PRECIP TO BECOME ALL RAIN. NEGATIVE VORTICITY BEHIND THE
WARM FRONT MAY RESULT IN A DRY SLOT WHICH WOULD BRING A BRIEF
REPRIEVE FROM PRECIP (OR REDUCE STEADY RAIN TO LIGHT SHOWERS) IN
SCNTRL VA AND INTERIOR NE NC LATE TONIGHT. THE WARM FRONT IS
PROGGED TO BE OVER THE DELMARVA BY DAYBREAK WITH ALL WINTRY PRECIP
TYPES CHANGING OVER TO ALL RAIN EVERYWHERE BY ROUGHLY 4 AM. LOWS
IN THE LOW-MID 30S NW TO UPPER 30S-LOWER 40S SE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
LOW PRESSURE EXITS THE OHIO VALLEY AND MOVES ALONG THE ST LAWRENCE
RIVER VALLEY ON SUNDAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION.
RAIN CONTINUES ALONG THE FRONTAL PASSAGE BUT WILL SLOWLY TAPER OFF
FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A TRANSITION BACK TO A
RAIN/SNOW MIX IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY EVENING AS PRECIP EXITS THE COAST
AND MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR PUSHES INTO THE REGION FROM THE NW. ALL
PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO COME TO AN END ACROSS ALL AREAS EXCEPT
ALONG THE ALBEMARLE SOUND AFTER MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT. TIMING THE
FALLING TEMPERATURES MAY BE TRICKY SINCE THE COLD AIR SURGE
ANTICIPATED BEHIND THE FRONT IS NOT AS STRONG AS OBSERVED OVER THE
PAST FEW WEEKS (I.E. WE ARE IN MORE OF A BRIEF ZONAL FLOW RATHER
THAN IN A TRUE NW FLOW). REGARDLESS...TEMPERATURES SHOULD HAVE NO
PROBLEM DROPPING INTO THE LOW-MID 20S NORTH AND MID-UPPER 20S
SOUTH (LOWER 30S COASTAL NE NC) WITH THE INFLUX OF COLDER AIR TO
THE REGION.
COLD AIR CONTINUES TO FUNNEL INTO THE AREA UNDER CLEARING SKIES
MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE
DAY AND INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION MONDAY NIGHT. COLD DAYTIME
HIGHS IN THE MID 20S NORTH TO MID 30S SOUTH. LOWS IN THE TEENS
MOST AREAS...LOWER 20S COASTAL SE VA/NE NC...SINGLE DIGITS MD/VA
EASTERN SHORE.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE EXTENDED FORECAST WILL SEE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AS A SERIES OF STRONG COLD FRONTS MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS ALONG THE WEST COAST THRU THE
PERIOD.
THE 1045 MB HIGH DROPPING SOUTHEAST INTO THE MID WEST WILL REACH
THE MID ATLANTIC MONDAY NIGHT PASSING OVER THE REGION TUESDAY.
THIS WILL BRING A REINFORCING COLD SHOT OF AIR WITH LOWS MONDAY
NIGHT WELL INTO THE TEENS INLAND AND NEAR 20 ALONG THE COAST. HIGH
WEDNESDAY WILL STRUGGLE THROUGH THE 30S. BREEZY CONDITIONS MONDAY
NIGHT WILL MAKE CONDITIONS FEEL COLDER...HOWEVER WINDS WILL
DECREASE OVERNIGHT AND REMAIN LIGHT ON TUESDAY. SOME WEAK RETURN
FLOW SETS UP FOR WED AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM
A LITTLE INTO THE LOWER 40S WITH SOME UPPER 30S ACROSS THE MD
EASTERN SHORE AND WESTERN PIEDMONT. THIS IS STILL BELOW NORMAL
THOUGH. HAVE REMOVED POPS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WED AS THE 12Z
ECMWF HAS COME IN SIMILAR TO THE GFS...BOTH OF WHICH ARE DRY.
PREVIOUS ECMWF RUNS DEVELOPED A SURFACE LOW OFF NC...BUT LATEST
MODEL CONSENSUS DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS. GFS BRINGS SOME MOISTURE IN
ACROSS NE NC WED AFTERNOON BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW AND IF IT
DOES VERIFY PRECIP WILL BE A RAIN/SNOW MIX CHANGING TO RAIN.
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT SHOT OF COLD AIR COMES IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY AGAIN DRIVING TEMPERATURES DOWN AS ANOTHER 1045 MB HIGH
DROPS SOUTH ACROSS THE MIDWEST TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC AND NEW
ENGLAND. THIS WILL BRING A PERIOD OF COLD WEATHER WHICH WILL LAST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION /10Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A MAINLY CLEAR SKY AND CALM TO LIGHT WINDS WILL PREVAIL AS OF
06Z...WITH INCREASING MID/HIGH CLOUDS THROUGH 12Z. HIGH PRESSURE
GRADUALLY SLIDES OFF THE COAST...ALLOWING CLOUDS TO THICKEN/LOWER
BY 15Z BUT THE SIGNIFICANT WX BEGINS IN THE AFTERNOON.
PCPN DEVELOPS OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS AFTN WITH RIC
THE FIRST TO RECEIVE IT AND SBY AND PHF BEGIN TO HAVE SOME LATE IN
THE AFTN. CONFIDENCE IN PCPN TYPES IS NOT HIGH BUT ANY SNOW AT RIC
AND SBY SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT. HAVE PCPN IN THOSE TWO LOCATIONS
STARTING AS SNOW OR MIXED SNOW/SLEET CHANGING TO RAIN WITHIN A
FEW HOURS. LOWERED VSBY AT RIC AT 22Z TO ONE MILE IN THE EVENT
THAT MOIST AIR MOVING OVER SNOW COVER WOULD RESULT IN FOG.
OUTLOOK...PCPN SPREADS INTO THE SE LOCATIONS SATURDAY NIGHT. IFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE WIDESPREAD IN THE PCPN AREA AND COVER ALL THE
TAF SITES BY SUNDAY MORNING. PCPN ENDS FROM NW TO SE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. NORTHERLY WINDS (AS OPPOSED TO NORTHWEST MAY KEEP
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS LONGER THAN THE MOS FORECASTS WOULD SUGGEST.
THERE WILL BE A SLGT CHC FOR SNOW MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY
ESPECIALLY AT ECG AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ALONG THE FRONT
WELL TO THE SOUTH. OTHERWISE MAINLY DRY AND VFR ARE EXPECTED EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
&&
.MARINE...
GENERALLY QUIET CONDITIONS EARLY ON...AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES
OFFSHORE. AS THE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EWD...WINDS WILL BECOME SLY.
THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE MID ATLANTIC REGION LATE
SUNDAY. AHEAD OF THE FRONT SLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15 KT BUT
REMAIN SUB SCA. SWELL MAY BUILD SEAS TO 5FT LATE TONIGHT INTO SUN
WITH MARGINAL LOW- SCA WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE DURING THIS SAME
TIMEFRAME...AND HAVE HOISTED A SCA FOR NRN COASTAL WATERS (DID NOT
DO THE BAY FOR NOW).
MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT EVENT DEVELOPS LATE SUN NIGHT THROUGH MON
NIGHT WITH CAA OCCURRING BEHIND THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT. THE CAA
SURGE IS WEAKER THAN THE PAST SEVERAL PUSHES OF VERY COLD ARCTIC
AIR INTO THE REGION...THEREFORE ONLY SCA CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED FOR MOST...ALTHOUGH MARGINAL GALES POSSIBLE ACRS SRN
WATERS. SEAS BUILD TO 5-9 FT /WAVES 3-5FT ON CHES BAY. HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE WATERS ON TUE.
WITH THE RELATIVELY WARMER AIR SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY AND
RAIN THERE IS A CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD FOG DEVELOPING AS THE SNOW
AND ICE AT THE SURFACE INTERACT WITH WARMER AIR TEMPERATURES AND
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. THIS COULD CREATE A PERIOD OF FOG FROM LATE
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY OVER THE WATERS.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
PERSISTENT WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH FRIDAY HAS RESULTED IN A
PERIOD OF BLOWOUT TIDES IN THE BAY...COASTAL WATERS AND LOWER
JAMES RIVER. WATER LEVELS ARE ANTICIPATED TO PERSIST AT 1.0 TO
1.5 FEET BELOW MLLW DURING LOW TIDE CYCLES TODAY. AS A RESULT...LOW
WATER ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL COASTAL WATERS...BAY AND
LOWER JAMES RIVER THROUGH SATURDAY.
