AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
414 PM EDT MON JUN 1 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING
AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS
COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE REGION LATE TONIGHT...AND STALL OVER
THE AREA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY...SLIDING OFFSHORE THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTN AND WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THIS EVENING. PULSE-TYPE CONVECTION WITH SOME TRAINING OF
MORE ORGANIZED CELL CLUSTERS WILL PRIMARILY RESULT IN PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAINFALL...WHICH COULD CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS
AND IN POOR DRAINAGE/LOW LYING AREAS. THE POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS
FOR WET MICROBURST WIND GUSTS AND SMALL HAIL UNDER STRONGER STORM
CORES. PWATS THIS MORNING WERE AROUND 1.50 INCHES (OR AROUND
150 PERCENT OF NORMAL) AND ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TWD 1.75 INCHES
INTO THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDING PROFILES ARE NOT
COMPLETELY SATURATED PLUS THERE IS JUST ENOUGH SOUTHWEST STEERING
FLOW ALOFT (ABOUT 15KT) TO ALLOW FOR A NEWD TO EWD DRIFT IN
OVERALL MOVEMENT OF STORM CELLS. THIS MOVEMENT SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING
ACROSS THE AREA (1HR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE REQUIRES AT LEAST
2.50 TO 3.00 INCHES OF PRECIP OR MORE)...DESPITE ANY TRAINING OF
STORMS. A FEW ISOLATED STORMS COULD STILL POP-UP CLOSER TO THE
COAST AS THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW INTERACTS WITH LOCALIZED SEABREEZE
BOUNDARIES. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IN THE SRN HALF OF THE FA SHOULD
DIMINISH BY MID TO LATE EVENING...WITH SHOWERS/STORMS PERSISTING
OVER THE NRN HALF OF THE FA OVERNIGHT AS A SFC COLD FRONT SLOWLY
SAGS SWD INTO THE REGION. WARM AND MUGGY OVERNIGHT AS TEMPS AND
DEWPOINTS ONLY FALL INTO THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE SFC COLD FRONT SLOWLY FLATTENS ACROSS THE AREA DURING TUESDAY
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE ST LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY.
MEANWHILE...PLENTY OF RETURN MOISTURE STREAMS UP INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION BTWN AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC AND A
STALLED CLOSED LOW BACK TO THE WEST OVER THE TN VALLEY/NRN GULF
COAST STATES. ALTHOUGH A BRIEF BREAK IN PRECIPITATION IS POSSIBLE
TUE MORNING...ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE COLD FRONT...IT
WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS THE INCOMING MOISTURE INTERACTS WITH THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...THUS INCREASING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BY TUE
AFTN. ONCE AGAIN... PWATS WILL BE AROUND 1.50-1.75 INCHES WITH
STEERING FLOW ALOFT AROUND 20-30KT. ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES START OUT
SOMEWHAT DRY BTWN 1000-850MB AND 850-500MB WITH UNIDIRECTIONAL
SOUTHWEST WINDS...BUT BECOME SATURATED BY 00Z WED WITH
UNIDIRECTIONAL SOUTH WINDS. THIS WILL ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL AND TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS. WILL NEED TO SEE
RAINFALL TOTALS FROM THIS EVENING TO EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE NEEDED FOR TUE AFTN/EVENING. CURRENT 1HR
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 2.50 TO 3.00 INCHES.
MAIN IMPACTS FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO BE HEAVY
RAINFALL...WHICH MAY CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND IN
POOR DRAINAGE/LOW LYING AREAS. ALSO...SMALL HAIL (LESS THAN ONE
INCH IN DIAMETER) AND WET MICROBURST WIND GUSTS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE
POSSIBLE. EXPECT COOLER HIGH TEMPS ACROSS FAR NWRN COUNTIES
(MID-UPPER 70S) AND SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS FROM 80-85 FROM RICHMOND
METRO SEWD. LOWS TUE NIGHT IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S NW TO
MID-UPPER 60S SE.
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES DOWN INTO NEW ENGLAND WED AND OFF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST ON THU. THIS WILL CAUSE THE SFC COLD FRONT TO SLOWLY
PUSH SWD DURING THIS TIME AND KEEP UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
AREA. PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED
EACH DAY/NIGHT. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN IMPACT
AS STEERING FLOW REMAINS LIGHT AND PWATS HOVER BTWN 1.50-1.75 INCHES.
MUCH COOLER WED WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S NW TO
MID-UPPER 70S SE. LOWS WED NIGHT IN THE 60S. HIGHS ON THU REBOUND
SLIGHTLY WITH READINGS OF 75-80 DEGREES. ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES COOLER
AT THE BEACHES ON WED...AND ONLY AROUND 5 DEGREES COOLER AT THE
BEACHES ON THU.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LONG TERM PERIOD WILL FEATURE UNSETTLED CONDS WITH NR NORMAL
TEMPS. A MID-LEVEL CUTOFF LO WILL APPROACH FM THE W ERLY IN THE
PERIOD LEADING TO A GOOD CHANCE (50%) OF SHRAS/TSTMS. WILL HOLD
ONTO 30-40% POPS INTO THE WEEKEND AS WELL AS MODELS TEND TO BE TOO
PROGRESSIVE WITH THESE SYSTMS. THERE IS ALSO CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CUTOFF LO OPENS
UP/WEAKENS...WITH SOME GUIDANCE CONTINUING TO HINT AT CSTL LO
DEVELOPMENT LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO ERLY NEXT WEEK. WILL BE ABLE
TO FINE-TUNE THE FORECAST LATE IN THE WEEK BUT FOR NOW WILL
FORECAST 30% POPS SUN AND MON. AS FOR TEMPS...EXPECT HIGHS TO AVG
IN THE UPR 70S TO LWR 80S EACH DAY...WITH LOWS RUNNING THRU THE 60S.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT THAN
PAST SEVERAL DAYS AS COLD FRONT WILL MOVE CLOSER TO THE AREA. WILL
INCLUDE SHRA AND VCTS IN THE KRIC AND KSBY TAF AFTER 21/22Z. CHANCES
ARE LESS LIKELY AT KORF/KPHF/KECG AND WILL KEEP MENTION OUT OF
THESE SITES FOR NOW. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR LOW CIGS
WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH TUE MORNING AT KRIC/KSBY. FOR NOW HAVE
GONE WITH 4-5SM VSBYS AND CIGS OF 1500 FT...MORE SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS
WILL BE POSSIBLE IF THESE SITES RECEIVE A LOT OF RAIN.
OUTLOOK...SHOWERS SHOULD BECOME FAIRLY WIDESPREAD ON TUE...WITH
SCATTERED TSTMS MAINLY IN THE AFTN/EVENING...EXCEPT TSTMS WILL
BECOME LESS LIKELY OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS BY LATE AFTN/EVENING AS
COOLER/MORE STABLE AIRMASS MOVES IN. WINDS WILL GENLY BE SHIFTING
FROM THE SSW TO THE N/NE FROM N-S ACRS THE REGION DURING THE AFTN
THROUGH THE EVENING. ONSHORE NE FLOW TUE NIGHT INTO THU AND MOIST
AIRMASS SHOULD LEAD TO UNSETTLED/MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS AND
PERIODIC MVFR TO MARGINAL IFR CIGS/VSBYS.
&&
.MARINE...
SCA IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE BAY THRU 10 PM FOR 15-20 KT SLY
WINDS. THIS WILL BE MARGINAL BUT EXPECTING AT LEAST A FEW HRS OF
FREQUENT GUSTS AROUND 20 KT LATE THIS AFTN AND EVENG. A COLD FRNT
WILL SLOWLY APPROACH THE WTRS TNGT INTO TUE WITH WINDS RELAXING A
BIT AS THE FRNT NEARS THE REGION. S WINDS TNGT WILL SHIFT TO THE W
THEN N/NW BY LATE TUE/TUE NIGHT BEHIND THE FRNT. ATTM HAVE CAPPED
WINDS JUST BLO SCA THRESHOLDS OVER THE BAY BUT COULD SEE SOME
WINDS UP TO 15-20 KT DUE TO THE STRONG HI TO THE N. SIMILAR WINDS
INTO TUE NIGHT AND WED WITH THE HI TO THE N. SEAS MAY REACH 5 FT
OVER NRN WTRS BY WED...BUT WILL BE MAINLY 3-4 FT ELSEWHERE. PRES
GRADIENT RELAXES A BIT INTO THU AND FRI ALLOWING FOR IMPROVING
MARINE CONDS.
