GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT AS SFC LOW TAKES SHAPE OFF THE CAROLINA
COAST. WIND GUSTS 20-30 MPH ARE EXPECTED INLAND, 35-45 MPH ALONG
THE COAST. THIS IS JUST BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA, SO WILL HOLD
OFF WITH ANY WIND ADVY FOR NOW. HWO WORDING WILL BE USED FOR NOW
FOR THE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS...BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WIND
ADVY WILL BE NEEDED ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST WITH WIND GUSTS TO
45-50 MPH POSSIBLE ALONG THE COASTAL ZONES FOR A TIME TOMORROW
LATE MORNING THRU SUNDAY EVENING.
THE AFOREMENTIONED SFC LOW WILL DEEPEN ALONG THE COASTAL

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 23Z...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS THROUGH PORTIONS OF HAMPTON
ROADS SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA WITH WARM AIR TO
THE EAST. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER QUEBEC CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE
THE WIND PATTERN COUPLED WITH LOW PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA
COAST.
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN THE TWO AFOREMENTIONED
SYSTEMS THROUGH SUNDAY. TAFS THEREFORE HAVE WINDS INCREASE A BIT
DURING THE PERIOD WITH NORTHEAST GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS AT ORF AND SBY
AND 25 TO 30 KNOTS ELSEWHERE. IFR CIGS SHOULD CONTINUE THIS EVENING
(EXCEPT VFR AT ECG). LAVMOS HAS CIGS AT ORF AND PHF TO MVFR AFTER
MIDNIGHT ALTHOUGH THE NAM MOS KEEPS IT IFR. HAVE ECG GOING BACK DOWN
TO MVFR OVERNIGHT BASED ON OBS ON THE OUTERBANKS.
SHOWERS WERE MOVING FROM EAST TO WEST THIS EVENING. RADAR AND STLT
SUPPORT THESE CONTINUING OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY SRN PORTIONS WITH
SOME POCKETS OF DRIZZLE ALSO PSBL INLAND THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING..MORE SHOWERS WILL BE PSBL DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.
OUTLOOK...CONDITIONS IMPROVE SOME MONDAY WITH MAINLY DRY AND VFR
BEGINNING TUESDAY. PATCHY FOG WILL BE PSBL EACH MORNING AROUND
SUNRISE DUE TO THE WET GROUND.
&&
.MARINE...
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES INTO MONDAY DUE TO
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER SE CANADA AND DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OFF
THE GA/SC COASTS. THE RESULT WILL BE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF GALE
FORCE WINDS OVER THE LOCAL WATERS...SO HAVE EXTENDED THE GALE
HEADLINES FOR ALL WATERS (EXCEPT RIVERS WHERE A SCA IS IN EFFECT)
INTO MONDAY. GALES WILL BE QUICKEST TO END ACROSS THE MIDDLE BAY AND
LOWER JAMES RIVER BY 6 AM MON...BUT SHOULD LINGER FOR THE LOWER
BAY/CURRITUCK SOUND/COASTAL WATERS TIL THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE

MIDWEEK BUT HEADLINES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THRU AT LEAST TUE DUE TO
HIGH SEAS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ALL FORECAST POINTS REMAIN BELOW FLOOD STAGE. MONITORING THE
RIVANNA RIVER, WHICH IS RUNNING ON THE HIGH END OF RFC GUIDANCE
RIGHT NOW. THIS WILL HAVE IMPLICATIONS DOWNSTREAM ALONG THE JAMES
RIVER, SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FORECAST AT RICHMOND
WESTHAM/LOCKS. FOR RIGHT NOW, FORECAST REMAINS FOR RIVERS TO RISE
TO NEAR OR JUST ABOVE ACTION STAGE AT FORECAST PINTS, BUT WILLKEEP
A CLOSE EYE ON OBS THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING
DUE TO PERSISTENT STRONG NE WINDS KEEPING WATER LEVELS SIGNIFICANTLY
ELEVATED. WINDS HAVE NOT BEEN AS STRONG AS YESTERDAY (FRIDAY)...SO
WATER LEVELS WERE GENERALLY IN THE HIGH END MINOR TO MODERATE RANGE
TODAY. NE WINDS RAMP UP AGAIN LATER TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS WITH JOAQUIN MOVING NORTH (WELL OFF THE
COAST). THE RESULT IS ANOTHER PERIOD OF HIGHER TIDE ANOMALIES
SUNDAY. HIGH END MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING IS EXPECTED AGAIN DURING
HIGH TIDE TODAY...WITH SOLID MODERATE TO LOW END MAJOR EXPECTED
SUNDAY. TIDAL VALUES WILL BE COMPARABLE TO FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
ANOMALIES WILL SLOWLY COME DOWN BY MON...BUT WILL STILL LIKELY
EXPERIENCE MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING ACRS THE LOWER BAY AND RIVERS
WILL EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS WITH
ADVISORIES SOME TIME MON OR MON NIGHT.
