.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move through the area later today. High
pressure will build over the area tonight. A weak area of low
pressure will pass south of the area Sunday night. Additional
systems may impact the region next week as troughing becomes
established over the eastern half of the country.
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Isolated showers will remain possible through late morning
mainly over the Appalachian region and perhaps across far
southern areas while a cold front passes through the local area.
Drying is expected this afternoon into tonight in the wake of
the frontal passage under NW winds. High pressure settles over
the area tonight. High temperatures will be around 90 or low
90s.
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Dry conditions will persist through the day Saturday under weak
high pressure. Widespread clouds and showers are expected to
develop Saturday night and Sunday north of a sfc front across
North Carolina and along the base of longwave trough over the
eastern US. Scattered to locally nmrs showers are expected with
a 700 mb wave well depicted in model guidance late Saturday
night into Sunday morning before this wave moves offshore Sun
evening. Rainfall amounts of a quarter to half inch are expected
east of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The H5 ridge in the western US and trough in the east will continue
through most of the long term. Behind the frontal passage, high
pressure will build Monday keeping conditions dry.
Tuesday through the rest of the long term becomes unsettled with
numerous opportunities for precipitation. The aforementioned front
will stall over the Carolinas as the upper level flow becomes nearly
parallel to the front. Low pressure may form along this boundary and
track northeast, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the southeast
portions of the FA Tuesday into Tuesday night. The strength of the
upper-level trough will influence the northern extent of the
precipitation associated with the low pressure Tuesday.
Some guidance forms a closed upper-level low in the trough by
midweek. Regardless, the base of the trough/low looks to be situated
over the Ohio Valley. This allows a moisture plume of Gulf origin to
be advected into the region by Wednesday and continue Thursday. The
same front looks to move back north/northeast Wednesday into
Thursday as several areas of low pressure track along the front
which could produce locally heavy rainfall. Cannot rule out isolated
hydro issues, especially in the urban and hydrophobic areas.
