NWS Forecaster Discussion
161 fxus61 kakq 171744 afdakq Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Wakefield Virginia 144 PM EDT Sat may 17 2008 Synopsis... high pressure builds into the region today. A weak cold front will cross the area Sunday...with a cooler and more unsettled pattern taking hold through midweek. High pressure will build back over the region for the middle to late week period. && Near term /through tonight/... early morning analysis shows a closed upper low over southern Ontario...with a developing frontal boundary over the upper Midwest...snaking back into the middle MO valley and the Central Plains. Farther south...a large area of surface high pressure was analyzed over the lower Tennessee Valley...south into the Gulf Coast region. High pressure ridging into the region today from the south will allow for a pleasant day to begin the weekend. West/northwest flow will gradually back to the west/SW as the day wears on. Generally looking for msny conditions...psny over the Eastern Shore. Went a bit above guidance given dry airmass...downslope winds and plenty of sunshine. Highs generally around 80 for most of the County Warning Area...l80s over Southside Virginia and interior NE NC. Slightly cooler M/u 70s over the Eastern Shore with afternoon SW flow. Middle to high clouds increase from the northwest after 18z or so ahead of upper Midwest low and frontal boundary. Good model agreement on keeping the afternoon and early evening dry...so instigated slight chance probability of precipitation over the northwest half of the County Warning Area after 00z...gradually pushing into Southside Virginia after 06z tonight. Lows tonight generally in the 50s...to near 60 into the Tidewater region. && Short term /Sunday through Monday/... upper low over Canada prognosticated to move southeastward into the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley region Sunday. Probability of precipitation gradually increase from northwest to southeast across the County Warning Area Sunday morning as the frontal boundary approaches. Used blend of slightly slower NAM/sref solution to time frontal passage. As system moves over the region...generally expect scattered rain showers and maybe a rumble of thunder or two as the day wears on. Dryer air quickly moves in behind boundary on Monday. && Long term /Monday night through Friday/... long term period characterized by stagnating eastern Canadian upper low....and developing upper ridging over the western Continental U.S.. primary challenge was in refining (numerous) precipitation chances. Numerous quick moving northern stream S/w's propagating around slow moving upper low...as well as developing upper ridge over the western Continental U.S. Will keep cooler and unsettled weather across our region through midweek. Determining timing of precipitation very difficult given this pattern. Therefore kept much of inherited forecast intact. Made little change to going HPC numbers and kept probability of precipitation in Tue/Wed. Next significant boundary approaches Friday with chance probability of precipitation. Temperatures warm to near 80 by middle week. && Aviation /18z Saturday through Thursday/... VFR for most of the middle Atlantic...and it will continue into tonight. Gusts in the 18 to 24 knots range still possible through this afternoon...which was indicated in tafs. Another weak cold front moves through late sun bringing the next chance of rain showers...and possible thunder. Brief MVFR ceilings and visibilities possible as the front moves through...in addition to gusty winds in 25 knots range. VFR conds return under building hi pressure Monday. A series of weak fronts/boundaries will move across the region Tuesday and Wednesday. && Marine... improving conditions today as high pressure builds in. Northwest winds behind the cold front that moved through last night will become SW out ahead of a weak upper low pressure trough. Models show a rather docile wind and wave pattern in place through middle week. High pressure moves in on Monday...with a series of weak fronts/boundaries moving through the region Tuesday and Wednesday. && Akq watches/warnings/advisories... Maryland...none. NC...none. Virginia...none. Marine...none. && $$ Synopsis...mam near term...mam short term...mam long term...mam/mpr aviation...smf marine...jrl
