Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
309 PM EDT SUN JUL 31 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level trough settles over the region Monday and Tuesday.
A weak frontal boundary gradually pushes south across the area
Monday night and early Tuesday...before stalling south of the
area through midweek.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Showers re-developing as expected across the Piedmont to the west,
and the NC coastal plain to our south. Have increased POPs into
Likely range for the SW half of the area through early this
evening, mainly south of I-64. Rain chances taper back to a 30-50%
POP farther north with low-level lapse rates and effective shear a
bit less favorable across the Northern Neck and MD Eastern Shore.

Strong instability and moist airmass about 150-170% of normal have
aided shower and T-storm development. To the west, latest in a
series of shortwaves pushing across the region have provided a
focus for storm development. To the south, subtle trough axis has
provided the focus for heavy showers and t-storms across the
Coastal Carolinas. Expect activity will become more widespread
across our area in the next 2-3 hours, diminishing after sunset
with nocturnal stabilization (w/resultant slackening low level
lapse rates). 0-6km bulk shear is generally ~15-20 kt across the
area per mesoanalysis, and as such expect storm mode to be
disorganized and pulsy in nature. Rather weak flow aloft
(especially across srn VA/ne NC) will result in a minimal severe
threat. However, it also portends to very slow moving cells
through early evening.

Showers and storms should diminish through the late evening and
overnight hours. Very mild and continued humid overnight w/ lows
only dropping into the 70s. Some patchy fog again expected
late tonight/early Monday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Mon-Wed characterized by building east coast trough, in response
to an upper ridge building over the Mississippi Valley. Trough
sharpens Mon night & Tue, resulting in flow aloft shifting to the
W-NW by Tuesday and Wednesday. Several shortwave impulses will
track from Ohio Valley toward the Lower Mid-Atlantic, rounding the
base of the trough, and interacting with the lingering surface
boundary which will linger across the local area through Tuesday
morning. PoPs for showers/tstms Monday afternoon/evening will be
highest over se VA/ne NC (30-50%), bordered by ~30-40% from the MD
Eastern Shore through the interior coastal plain counties,
tapering back to low end chance pops (~30%) over the Piedmont
counties NW of RIC.

Upper trough axis slips offshore Tuesday, forcing the sfc front
south of the local area into NC. PW values nudge back down
Tuesday and Wednesday, falling back toward seasonal norms
(1.25-1.5") as low-level flow becomes NNE and eventually ENE
on Tuesday. As such, expect POPs will be a bit more limited in
areal coverage across our area, especially inland. Have gone with
a slight to low end chance pop along the coast from the MD Eastern
Shore to the interior coastal Plain on Tuesday, with models
supporting a dry forecast for Wednesday, as warmer and drier air
aloft filtering into the region, thereby further limiting
convective potential.

For temps, highs on Monday again in the upper 80s to low
90s. Slightly cooler and a bit more comfortable for midweek
period. Highs Tuesday ranging from the mid 80s over the Eastern
Shore to around 90over s-central VA. Highs Wednesday in the mid to
upper 80s (low 80s coastal sections). Early morning lows will
generally be in the 70s Tuesday morning, and in the mid 60s to
around 60 Wednesday morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Surface high pressure resides just off the New England coast
Wed night into Thu and pushes out to sea Thu night. A sfc low
then crosses nrn Ontario on Fri...dragging a cold front through
the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley. This front is expected to
move into the Mid Atlantic Region Saturday and possibly stall
over the area during next weekend. Have maintained a slight
chance for storms (10-20% POP) each aftn/evening through the
long term periods...initially due to persistent onshore winds
Thu/Fri and then possible weak suppression due to mid-upper
level ridging present Sat/Sun.

With sfc high pressure building near New England, temperatures
should be more seasonal/comfortable feeling Thu/Fri with highs
generally in the mid-upper 80s (maybe 90F in some spots Fri) and
cooler dewpoints in the mid-upper 60s to lower 70s. Onshore winds
are expected to persist through early Fri...thus enhancing any
drying/cooling effects to temps, dewpoints, and overall precip
chances during this timeframe. The sfc high off New England is
then expected to get pushed out to sea Thu night...allowing temps
and dewpoints/humidity to begin a gradual warming trend starting
Fri night through next weekend. Lows Fri/Sat nights 70-75
inland/mid-upper 70s se beaches. Highs Sat/Sun in the lower 90s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The Mid Atlantic States remains in a warm and humid airmass with
convection developing on small scale boundaries. As of 17z...
thunderstorms were beginning to show up over the Piedmont from
Farmville and west with more widespread activity across the
mountains. Expect activity to increase during the afternoon
especially southwest portions. RIC and PHF currently have the best
prospect for convection and have 3 hour tempo groups for showers at
these locations in the late afternoon to early evening. Will update
the TAFS for thunderstorms as needed.

Looking over the various MOS products and model blends as well as
NAM bufr soundings...a repeat of the stratus that was present this
morning appears unlikely...probably due to low level drying from a
westerly wind. MVFR fog is probable at SBY and RIC and included this
in the TAF for Monday morning.

OUTLOOK...Another round of showers and thunderstorms should occur
Monday afternoon as a slow moving cold front approaches from the
north. This front will continue south into the Carolinas toward
midweek with a drier outlook for Tuesday. Rain has been
removed from the forecast for Wednesday through Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
A weak boundary over the area today will give way to a cold
front moving over the waters Mon and stalling there through
Tue before moving se off the Carolina coast. Then high pressure
sits just off the New England coast through Thu night before
being pushed out to sea by an approaching cold front extending
out of Ontario, Canada.

Wind speeds will be aob 15kt throughout the forecast period.
Wind direction will be variable into this evening due to
seabreeze effects and expected thunderstorms, but are expected
to become more sw Mon as the first cold front approaches the
waters. Once the front drops se, winds become more nw-n Mon night
through Tue...then persistently ne-e Tue night through Thu. Winds
take another turn to the se-s Thu night into Fri as the New
England high shifts ewd away from the Atlantic coast. Seas will
average 2-3ft through the period with 1-2ft waves in the Bay.
