What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Dec 26, 1:22 PM EST, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 1:22 PM EST, 1 hour 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wakefield VA 122 PM EST Tue Dec 26 2017 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will prevail over the Mid Atlantic today. A cold front will drop through the region tonight with weak low pressure pushing off the Carolina coast Wednesday. Meanwhile, arctic high pressure builds across the Eastern Great Lakes and New England Wednesday and Thursday. Another weak low pressure system develops off the Southeast coast Thursday night through early Friday, before arctic high pressure returns for next weekend into the new year. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Forecast on track late this morning, with only minor changes needed per latest obs. Increased highs a degree or two for the afternoon. Highs in the upper 30s/around 40 far N...low to mid 40s S under a partly cloudy sky. Previous discussion... Current wv imagery shows a broad longwave trough covering the central and eastern Conus. Locally, the flow aloft is WSW with mid and high clouds streaming overhead resulting in a partly to mostly cloudy sky, which has allowed temperatures to remain rather steady overnight. Surface high pressure is centered over the Southeast early this morning and the high center will shift toward SE VA/NE NC by afternoon. Partly to mostly cloudy N today and becoming mostly sunny S, with high temperatures ranging from the upper 30s/around 40F N to the low/mid 40s S. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... A weak cold front will push through the region later tonight as arctic high pressure builds across the Great Lakes. Partly to mostly cloudy tonight with low temperatures ranging from the low/mid 20s N to the mid/upper 20s S. A shortwave trough will push across the Carolinas Wednesday interacting with the aforementioned cold front. 26/00z NAM/CMC/ECMWF depict some moisture and lift pushing into SE VA/NE NC while the GFS is dry. PoPs of 30- 40% are forecast across NE NC, with ~20% for far SE VA at this time. Thermal profiles aloft support light snow. However, surface temperatures will be marginal with high temperatures in the upper 30s, so any light snow has the potential to mix with light rain. Farther N, highs should only rise into the low/mid 30s under a partly to mostly cloudy sky. Strong (cold) 1040+ mb arctic high pressure will build across the Ern Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday and continue to nudge into the area. This will bring a cold/dry day with partial clearing. Highs will only in the upper 20s N to mid 30s SE, after morning lows in the low/mid teens N to the low 20s SE. There is the potential for wind chill values of 0-5 above early Thursday morning over the MD Ern Shore if enough wind persists. 26/00z model guidance continues to trend drier and more suppressed with the wave that pushes off the Southeast coast Thursday night into early Friday. The GFS remains the farthest N with this system, but the 00z run is mainly dry locally, with the exception of some light QPF over NE NC. 30-40% PoPs for snow will be maintained for far SE VA/NE NC. QPF will be light and hence any snow accum will be minimal. Lows Thursday night range from the upper teens/around 20F N to the upper 20s far SE under a mostly cloudy sky. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Long term period will be dominated by cold NW flow across the region. Models still not in synch with regard to the tangible weather scenario. GFS/ECMWF largely take the first system south of the area, although GFS tries to bring too much precip too far north. So have sided with the ECMWF/GEFS in keeping precip with first system suppressed south of the area. ECMWF tries to take a strong shortwave across the northern portions of the area on Saturday, with the potential for snow northern third of the area. However, GFS does not have this system. Given the impacts largely being felt in the northern portion of the area, have gone with blended model solution, with a slight increase in POPs across the north in deference to the ECMWF. System for Sunday night/Monday looks to again largely remain south of the area, or develop well enough offshore to limit any impact to AKQ CWA. Again, GFS appears to overdo precip moving through the region, and have sided with ECMWF day 6-7. Bottom line, expect the extended period to be mainly dry. Temperature-wise, it will be a cold period, with high temps most areas not getting out of the 30s from Friday through New Years Day. Exception will be far SE portions of the area, where temps could get to or just above 40 degrees Friday/Saturday. Low temps mainly in the 20s Thursday night/Friday night, dropping mostly into the teens Saturday night through New Years night. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... High pressure is centered over the Southeast this afternoon with scattered mid to high clouds overhead in W-SW flow aloft. VFR conditions will prevail through the 18z TAF period. W-NW wind aob 10kt this afternoon becomes lgt/variable tonight. A dry cold front will push through the region late tonight with the wind increasing and veering around to the N. Weak low pressure will along coastal front along/just offshore of the Carolina coast Wednesday bringing a 20-40% chc of light snow or a light rain/snow mix to far SE VA/NE NC. Outlook: Strong high pressure builds N of the region Wed/Thu. Weak low pressure remains offshore Thursday night into early Friday. Another cold front pushes across the area Friday night with high pressure returning Saturday. && .MARINE... No headlines necessary today as sfc high pressure slides into the Mid Atlantic. Expect westerly winds generally up to 10-15 kt with 1- 2 ft waves over the Bay and 2-3 ft seas over coastal wtrs. A cold front dissipates as it drops through the area tonight, shifting the winds to northerly by Wed morning. Stronger CAA does not arrive until late Wed aftn/evening when SCA conditions are likely over the ocean/Bay/Sound, with strong high pressure building north of the area. Additional periods of SCA conditions expected beyond then, as series of trofs move through, reinforcing cold air across the region. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. NC...None.
