SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...G12 IR IMAGERY SHOWS STEADY CONVECTIVE
CLOUD TOP COOLING E OF THE DELMARVA AND NC COAST. AT THE SAME TIME.. MORE
SUBTLE AREA OF CLOUD TOP COOLING ACCOMPANIED BY LT TO MOD RAIN HAS ALSO
BEEN TAKING PLACE FM E PA/MD TO JUST OF LI. ALL THIS IS IN CONJUNCTION
WITH DEVELOPING LOW OFF NC COAST..THETA-E ADVECTION ZONE ACRS NJ AND
OFFSHORE..AND SHORT WAVE MOVG ACRS CENTRAL PA/MD/SE VA.
.
WHILE G12 WV IMAGERY AND STLT WINDS SHOW MAIN UPPR TROF PSN EXTENDING FM
S OF HUDSON BAY THRU UPPR GREAT LAKE TO TN VALLEY..A SERIES OF EMBEDDED
SHORT WAVES HAS BEEN ROTATING ACRS THE OHIO VALLEY AND MIDATLANTIC
REGION. AS MENTIONED ABOVE..THE EASTERNMOST SHORT WAVE EXTENDS ACRS PA
THRU SE VA/E NC. ALREADY..CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEEN COOLING OVER E PA/NJ AND
OFFSHORE E OF SHORT WAVE..AND WOULD EXPECT ADDITIONAL COOLING TO OCCUR AS
SHORT WAVE MOVES INTO LL THETA-E ADVECTION ZONE..WITH MOD TO EVENTUALLY
SOME HVY PRECIP SPREADING NEWD INTO SE NY/LI AND SE/S NEW ENGLAND. ALSO
NOTICING THAT MORE INTENSE AREA OF COLD TOP CNVTN ASSOCD WITH SFC
LOW/FRONTAL BAND OFFSHORE IS RAPIDLY EXPANDING TWD THE NE. IMAGERY
ANIMATION ALSO HINTS THAT NW PORTION OF THE COLD TOP CONVECTIVE BAND IS
ALSO BEGINNING TO BE DRAWN A BIT MORE NWD TWD THE SE MA/RI COAST. AT THE
LEAST..AS SHORT WAVE MOVES TWD AND EVENTUALLY OFF THE COAST..CONVECTIVE
MOISTURE WILL COMBINE WITH THE EXPANDING AREA OF WARMER TOP PRECIP NOW
EXTENDING FM E PA/MD TO S OF LI..RESULTING IN MOD/HVY PRECIP.
