Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
402 PM EDT Fri May 19 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front moves south across the area tonight and stalls
over the Carolinas on Saturday. This front will lift back
north as a warm front on Sunday. Another cold front is
expected to cross the Mid Atlantic region Monday into Monday
night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Latest sfc analysis shows broad Bermuda high pres offshore with
a prefrontal trough over central VA and a cold front across PA.
The cold front drops south into the region tonight as high pres
builds over the NE states. As for convection this
aftn...although widespread severe wx is not expected, a few
storms could be strong to severe due to high CAPE and low-level
lapse rates. There is still some uncertainty however to coverage
later this eveng hence keeping PoPs in the chance range. Chance
PoPs everywhere later this eveng become slight chance
overnight. Low temps tonight in the mid/upr 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
High pres builds over the NE states Sat as the cold front pushes
south into the Carolinas. With the front still close to the
area, maintained a 20-30% of rain Sat/Sat night, with the best
chance over S/SW areas. Along with NE winds, pattern will favor
below normal temps...highs Sat only in the 70s most locations
with upr 60s over the Lwr Eastern Shore. Lows Sat night in the
mid 50s to lwr 60s. Aforementioned front lifts north as a warm
front Sun, but will go no higher than 20% PoPs attm with weak
forcing aloft. Continued below normal temps with highs again
only in the 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Mon forecast based off a GFS/ECMWF solution which remains
consistent in bringing a strong cold front across the region
during the aftrn and evening. NAM just to drastic of a change to
rely on attm. Decent jet, upr level shortwave energy and late
day timing could result in an active fropa. The severity of any
storms will likely depend on how much heating takes place ahead
it. Heavy rainers possible given the progged PW's. Chc pops in
the morning then likely pops in the afternoon. Highs mid 70s to
lwr 80s. Front pushes offshore around midnight with some drying
behind it. Likely pops east with chc pops west during the
evening, then slght chc pops along the coast after 06Z. Lows mid
50-mid 60s.

Brief reprieve from the wet weather Tue as weak high pressure builds
into the area. Dry with highs mid-upr 70s. Dry Tue evening with pops
increasing across the west after 06Z ahead of the next systm. Lows
upr 50s-lwr 60s.

Next in a series of upr level lows tracks NE across the Gt lakes
region Wed with the trailing cold progged to cross the region during
the afternoon and evening. Could be a repeat of Mon with good upr
level support, jet dynamics and late day timing. Chc pops in the
morning with likely in the afternoon. Highs 75-80. Boundary pushes
offshore Wed night with pops tapering off after midnight. Lows mid
50s-lwr 60s.

Upr level low lifts NE with models showing a series of shortwaves
rotating arnd it Thurs through Fri. Timing of pcpn appears to be
more diurnal in nature. Thus will keep 20-30 pops each day (highest
late afternoon/early evening). Highs both days in the mid-upr 70s.
Lows in the 50s except arnd 60 SE.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Iso-sct showers/tstms developing over the Blue Ridge and
Piedmont as of 18z are expected to push into the region later
this aftn into this evening. RIC has the best potential for a
tstm through 22z, with the past few runs of the HRRR showing
showers/tstms pushing farther E toward SBY/PHF/ORF/ECG after
22z and ending/dissipating by 04z. Any storms could produce
brief MVFR conditions in cig/vsby along with small hail and
brief stronger wind gusts. Patchy 3-5sm BR is possible late
tonight (mainly for locations that receive rain) prior to the
arrival of an approaching cold front. The cold front will sweep
through the area from about 10-16z Saturday resulting in a wind
shift to NE, with wind gusts to ~20kt possible, especially for
sites closer to the coast. MVFR cigs are possible behind the
cold front along with a slight chc for lingering showers.

The boundary returns N as a warm front late Saturday night
through Sunday night bringing the potential for IFR stratus and
areas of light rain. A cold front approaches from the W Monday
bringing a chc of showers/tstms. High pressure returns Tuesday,
followed by another chc of showers/tstms Wednesday as low
pressure approaches from the W.

&&

.MARINE...
Latest models still on track for a cold frontal passage late tonight
and Sat. SCA's remain in place as winds turn NE behind the fropa and
become gusty at times mainly due to pressure rises of 4-6 mb/hr as
high pressure builds from the eastern Great Lakes. Seas build to 4-5
ft on avg and waves in the Bay will avg 3- 4 ft. The event is fairly
short in duration, with winds diminishing by Sat evening as high
pressure builds a little farther south and easterly winds diminish
to 10-15 kt. Seas will remain elevated into Sat night on the coast
so headlines there have been issued through the 4th period/Sat nite.
Seas on Sun avg 3-4 ft.

Winds become SSE later Sun into Mon ahead of the next frontal system
approaching from the west. The next front crosses the area late Mon.
Not much change in airmass behind this front so expect winds to
remain below SCA levels early next week.
