Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
403 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A surface cold front will approach the area through
Saturday...before dropping across the area late Saturday into
Sunday. Meanwhile, high pressure off the Southeast Coast will keep
hot and humid conditions across the area. A drier airmass moves
into the Mid Atlantic Region behind the front for Sunday and
Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Latest regional radar mosaic showing convection finally beginning
to ensue across the local area at 19z as convective temperatures
have been realized. MCV moving along the Ohio River Valley has
been the main focus thus far, and have followed closely to the
NSSL-WRF/HRRR depiction for the late afternoon and evening.
Expect majority of activity to slide to either side of the local
area...to our north with shearing shortwave crossing PA and to our
SSW with aforementioned convection sliding across E TN Valley.
That said, have maintained a slight chance (Iso T) pop out west w/
a solid chance pop along and mainly east of the I-95 corridor,
oriented along Theta-e/moisture convergence axis. Isolated to
widely scattered storms will slide ESE through early evening.
Strong surface instability and 0-6km bulk shear ~30 kt would
portend to a threat for loosely organized scattered convection
late this aftn and early evening. Relatively steep mid- level
lapse rates (6-7 deg c/km) and PW ~1.5 would again argue for gusty
winds/locally heavy rainfall as the primary threats.

Once again expect convective activity to quickly wane by mid-
evening on into the overnight with nocturnal stabilization.
Expecting overnight temps to be warmer from 75-79 F (possibly 80
at the beaches). Muggy conditions will continue as dewpoints
remain steady in the low-mid 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday will be drier with local area remaining well capped
through the day. Saturday looks to be the hottest day so far this
year for most locations, as forecast highs reach into the mid
90s...where most areas except the beaches and MD/VA Eastern Shore
will average low to mid 90s. Record temperatures not anticipated,
as official climate locations need to break 100 degrees or more to
be achieved. With more efficient mixing of drier air aloft
expected with strong subsidence, expect dewpoints to mix into the
60s inland tomorrow, allowing heat indices to be essentially equal
to ambient temperatures inland. Thus, the concern for critical
heat index values shifts towards far SE VA/NE NC. Afternoon heat
indices in these areas are anticipated to reach to around heat
advisory criteria. After collaboration with neighboring offices,
have decided to hold off w/any heat headlines for the moment as
much of the area looks to remain just below 105 threshold for
most of the day. Either way, hot conditions can be expected, and
we will continue to highlight this potential within the HWO.
Slightly cooler Saturday night with lows ranging from 70 F
northwest (upper 60s possible far nw) to 75 F southeast.

The sfc cold front drops across the area Saturday night, sliding
south of the area Sunday morning as high pressure builds over the
Great Lakes and Ohio Valley...gradually moving into the region
Sunday night. Daytime conditions will feel much more comfortable
as lower/drier dewpoints trend back down into the low- mid 60s.
nonetheless, still seasonably warm under a mostly sunny sky
w/highs in the lower 90s inland and mid- upper 80s beaches are
expected. Much of the area will remain dry Sunday, but southern
sections could see a few stray showers Sunday night and Monday as
shortwave energy sneaks across the stalled boundary to the south.
Overnight lows trend down by a few degrees with lows in the mid-
upper 60s inland and in the lower 70s immediate coast. Highs
Sunday and Monday back to around 90...mid to upper 80s along the
immediate coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A quiet weather pattern is indicated for the long term. Upper levels
feature a relatively light westerly flow with modest ridging over
the South Central and Southeast states and most of the short wave
energy staying north. Temperatures start off to near normal and
warm to a few degrees above normal late in the week.

The long term period begins has surface high slipping off the coast
Monday night. A warm front moving northeast through the Mid
Atlantic States on late Tuesday and early Wednesday. A southerly
flow prevails late in the week.

Models are consistent with increasing precipitation probabilities
Monday night and Tuesday. A lack of forcing will result in pops
generally 20 percent or less Wednesday through Friday.

High temperatures increase from the mid to upper 80s Tuesday to the
lower 90s Friday except a few degrees lower at the coast. Lows
range from the upper 60s to near 70 Tuesday morning warm to the
low to mid 70s Friday morning.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR conditions prevail across the region early this afternoon.
Weak shortwave trough beginning to generate showers/tstms across
the northern portions of VA. These could move across KSBY in the
21Z to 00Z time frame. Elsewhere, late afternoon/evening
convection is possible again today, but the location and timing
for said tstms is still too uncertain, even in the hi-res models,
to include in 18Z TAFs. Best chance would be after 00Z in
association with convective complex moving through OH/KY early
this afternoon. Have thus left all TAFs dry. Weak front crosses
the area late tonight, allowing for a westerly flow of drier air
to move into the region. Another front crosses the area Saturday
night. This will allow for VFR with less potential for showers/tstms
to develop Saturday/Sunday, and potentially into Monday. A renewed
chc of showers/tstms exists by Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Light and variable winds will become southerly as a weak surface
trough and convection approach from the west.

No headlines are need for the marine area. A series of troughs
and weak fronts move through during the weekend shifting the winds
to westerly. Low pressure forms on a frontal boundary to the south
of the area Monday shifting the winds to easterly. Winds turn to
southeasterly Tuesday. Seas generally run 2 to 3 ft with waves 1
to 2 ft.
