Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
329 PM EDT Mon Jul 9 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure remains over the area through Tuesday, keeping
Tropical Storm Chris off the North Carolina coast. A cold front
moves across the region Wednesday, pushing Chris out to sea.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
As of 230 PM EDT Monday...

Latest MSAS has high pressure over the area with TS Chris nearly
stationary well south of HAT. Another mstly clr / cool night ahead.
Exception will be pt cloudy over the northern OB. Any shwrs with the
outer bands of Chris are expected to stay south of the Albemarle
Sound. Given the lows from the past few nights, went a few degrees
below MOS values. Lows upr 50s-lwr 60s, mid 60s over se.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Monday...

A persistance forecast Tues. High pressure slowly shifts toward the
coast with Chris continuing to meander se of HAT. Again, any shwr
activity progged to remain south of the Albemarle Sound. Mstly sunny
and warmer as H85 temps begin to rise. Highs upr 80s-lwr 90s.

Upr level trof approaches from the NW mid week. This allows a weak
cold front to move south across the area Wed while being the trigger
to finally push Chris and begin to accelerate him to the ne. Not a
lot of moisture progged with this front Tue night into early Wed so
will just keep slght chc across the north after midnight. Nam much
more aggressive than the GFS in developing a line of convection
along the front as it crosses the southern half of the local area
Wed afternoon and evening. Will take a model compromise for now and
keep chc pops with the fropa (highest south). Lows Tues night upr
60s-lwr 70s. Highs Wed 85-90.

The front stalls across the Carolinas Wed night and Thursday. Models
show enough moisture to keep chc pops across the southern half of
the fa through Wed night then drying out Thurs. Lows Wed night mid
60s-lwr 70s. Highs Thurs mid-upr 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Monday...

Models take the remnant low of "Beryl" and track it around the
periphery of the subtropical Atlantic ridge, keeping its moisture
well off the eastern seaboard Friday and Sat. However, this could
change if it regenerates. Stay tuned.

Closer to home, high pressure dominates with sct diurnal convection
psbl ivof of the lee trof over the weekend into early next week.
May also have to watch the potential for any convective complexes
that drop se from the Ohio valley. GFS hints at one Sat night. Highs
Fri mid-upr 80s, upr 80s-lwr 90s Sat through Mon. Lows mid 60s-lwr
70s Fri/Sat, upr 60s-mid 70s Sun/Mon.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 130 PM EDT Monday...

High pressure over the region results in VFR conditions through
the forecast period. Only SCT-BKN high clouds expected across
the sern coastal areas. Any shwrs associated with TS Chris stay
south of the Albemarle Sound.

Outlook: A weak cold front drops acrs the region fm the north
early Wed, producing isolated to sctd showers or tstms Tue night
into Wed night. Iso-sct diurnal convection over the weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...

High pressure persists over the southern Appalachians, while TS
Chris meanders well off the SD/NC coast. Chris is expected to being
accelerating NEWD away from the coast late Tuesday, as a cold front
approaches the region from the NW. This front is expected to drop
into the region late Tuesday night/Wednesday, then stall over the
Carolinas Thursday/Friday.

SCA Flags persist over the southern coastal waters, where seas are
still at or above 5 feet. Seas should drop below 5 feet by this
evening from Cape Charles Light to the NC/VA border, but remain
above 5 feet south of the NC/VA border through Tuesday.

Much more of a typical summer cold frontal passage Wednesday/
Wednesday night, with a very minimal CAA surge expected behind
the front. Winds will remain onshore through Friday, as the
front remains south of the area, and high pressure over SE
Canada ridges into the area. The biggest question in the
Wednesday/Thursday time frame is the magnitude of the swell
emanating from TS Chris, and whether it will reach SCA levels
over the northern and central waters. NWPS is more aggressive
than Wavewatch, so took a blend of the two for now.

High rip current risk and beach hazard statement extended through
Tuesday across the southern beaches, and swell from slowly
meandering TS Chris continues to progress toward the coast. Will
have a moderate risk of rip currents across the MD beaches and
Assateague.
