\n.NEAR TERM \/UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING\/...\r\nQUICK UPDATE TO ACCOUNT FOR SHRAS<\/a> ALONG THE FRONTAL BAND, WHICH HAVE\r\nGENERALLY DIMINISHED...LEAVING ONLY SOME PATCHY LIGHT RAIN\/DZ<\/a>\r\nACROSS SE TIER OF COUNTIES. MEANWHILE, SOME MID\/UPPER DRYING HAS\r\nENTERED EASTERN WV<\/a>\/WESTERN VA HAS ALLOWED FOR SOME AREAS OF FOG<\/a>\r\nOVER THE PIEDMONT...PRIMARILY WHERE CAD<\/a> WEDGE WAS STRONGEST OVER\r\nTHE WEEKEND.\r\n\r\nDID SLOW ONSET OF POP<\/a> SLIGHTLY ACROSS OUR MD ZONES. OVERALL,\r\nMUCH OF PREVIOUS FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED. LATER TONIGHT...A\r\nVIGOROUS TROUGH<\/a> (PRESENTLY DIVING SE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS)\r\nWILL REACH THE MIDWEST. THIS WILL ALLOW -RA<\/a> TO RE-DEVELOP ALONG\r\nTHE MOIST FRONTAL BAND AS IT LIFTS BACK NORTHWARD. ACCORDINGLY, WL<\/a>\r\nSHOW INCREASE IN POP<\/a> LATE ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA (ASIDE FROM THE\r\nLOWER MD EASTERN SHORE) LATER TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN\r\nSTEADY IN THE MID\/UPPER 40S SE OVERNIGHT...WHILE LOWS SHOULD REACH\r\nTHE LOW\/MID 30S NW WITH SHORT LIVED CLEARING.\r\n\r\n&&\r\n\r\n.SHORT TERM \/6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY\/...\r\nTHE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH<\/a> GENERATES A POWERFUL 180KT (GEOSTROPHIC\r\nWIND) 300MB JET<\/a>...THAT RACES ENE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY\r\nMORNING. THIS INDUCES A BAND OF STRONG FRONTOGENESIS<\/a> ACROSS THE MID\r\nATLANTIC TUESDAY MORNING ALONG WITH ROBUST UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION.\r\nADDITIONALLY...THERE IS DECENT MOISTURE<\/a> ADVECTION<\/a> AHEAD OF THE\r\nTROUGH<\/a>. MODEL CROSS-SECTIONS (NAM<\/a>\/GFS<\/a>) INDICATE A RATHER CLASSIC\r\nSLOPING FRONTAL ZONE WITH STRONG FRONTOGENESIS<\/a> FROM THE SURFACE TO\r\nAROUND 600MB. IN ADDITION...MODESTLY NEGATIVE EPV<\/a> VALUES AND\r\nNEUTRAL THETA-E<\/a> LAPSE RATES INDICATE A POTENTIAL FOR SYMMETRIC\r\nINSTABILITY<\/a>. ALL THIS COMBINED SUPPORTS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY\r\nBANDED PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION.\r\n\r\nAT THIS TIME...THE STRONGEST BAND APPEARS TO SET-UP NEAR THE FAR\r\nNORTHERN PORTION OF THE AKQ CWA<\/a>. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE\r\nSYSTEM...THERE SHOULD BE LITTLE DIFFICULTY CHANGING THE PRECIP OVER\r\nTO SNOW (DRIVING SURFACE TEMPS DOWN TO THE WET-BULB...WHICH WL<\/a> BE\r\n~ 30-32F)...BUT THERE COULD BE A MIX WITH SLEET EARLY DUE TO\r\nRESIDUAL MID-LEVEL WARM AIR. SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD RANGE FROM 1-3IN\r\nACROSS THE FAR N (LOCALIZED AMOUNTS AROUND 4 ARE POSSIBLE)...AND\r\nTAPERING TO AN INCH OR LESS IN VICINITY OF A LINE FROM FVX-RIC-\r\nWAL. AN ADVISORY HAS BEEN RAISED FOR THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE\r\nAREA.\r\n\r\nDRIER AIR QUICKLY COMES IN FROM THE WEST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND\r\nTHIS SHOULD BRING A QUICK END TO PRECIPITATION. HIGH PRESSURE\r\nFINALLY BUILDS IN FROM THE NW TUESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY BRINGING\r\nDRIER BUT VERY COLD CONDITIONS. LOWS TUESDAY\/WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHOULD\r\nRANGE FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20S NW...TO THE LOW 30S NC<\/a>\r\nCOAST...WITH HIGHS WEDNESDAY\/THURSDAY ONLY IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER\r\n40S FOR MOST AREAS.<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
