* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS... Shallow flooding is expected in the
most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and shoreline

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when threats such as rip
currents...longshore currents...sneaker waves and other hazards
create life-threatening conditions in the surf zone. Caution
should be used when in or near the water.
There is a high risk of rip currents.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore...which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and
piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards...beach patrol flags and
signs.
If you become caught in a rip current...relax and float. Don't
swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following
the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or
wave for help.

There is a high risk of rip currents.
A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when threats such as rip
currents...longshore currents...sneaker waves and other hazards
create life-threatening conditions in the surf zone. Caution
should be used when in or near the water.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore...which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and
piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards...beach patrol flags and

ButnerWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement 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 beach hazards statement went out at Jul 23, 3:50 PM EDT, 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 3:50 PM EDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
350 PM EDT Mon Jul 23 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A moist southerly flow, coupled with a low pressure trough
aloft over the Tennessee Valley and southeast U.S., will result
in an unsettled pattern into Wednesday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...
Latest analysis shows a stalled sfc boundary across the area
with a deep upr-level trough over the eastern CONUS. Coverage
has been spotty today with little in the way of organized lift.
Low-level convergence has been increasing however and have
started to see some more radar returns. Due to saturated soils
and collaboration with nearby offices, decided to hoist a flash
flood watch for the entire fa aside from the Eastern Shore. This
is mainly for the heavy rain potential overnight tonight through
Tue evening, and may possibly need to be extended beyond that.
Otws, SE wind tonight with low temps in the low/mid 70s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...
Wet pattern continues into the short term period with upr-
level trough axis still west of the area Tue/Wed. PoPs in the
likely range through this timeframe. Although it won't rain the
entire time, there will be periods of moderate to heavy rain
leading to some flood concerns. High temps in the upr 70s to
mid 80s both days. The trough finally deamplifies by Thu,
though a remnant sfc boundary will allow for continued changes
for rain especially over SE areas. High temps in the mid/upr
80s Thu.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...
Models in fairly good agreement today that region stays east of the
mean upper trof axis over the Midwest, and remains in a relatively
moist SW flow aloft through the extended period. Extended period
begins with a shortwave having passed by the region on Thursday,
temporarily shutting off the stream of high PW air over the region.
Thus, Thursday night through Friday should have no worse than
scattered showers and tstms, with the greatest concentration of
activity across the SE third of the area. Frontal boundary tries to
move into the area from the west Friday night/Saturday, but stalls
over the area, as Atlantic ridge aloft prevails over the SE U.S. The
upstart is there will be chances for mainly diurnally driven
showers/tstms across the area through the weekend. The threat for
showers/tstms increases a bit on Day 7 as shortwave trof approaches
the region from the OH/TN Vlys, enhancing the rain chances.
Temperature-wise, near normal temperatures are anticipated through
the period, with max temps in the 80s to around 90, and min temps in
the upper 60s to mid 70s, highest southeast portions of the
area.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 145 PM EDT Monday...
Widespread MVFR cigs to start off the 18Z TAF period, with
pockets of VFR. This should continue through this evening
outside of any heavy showers. Rain chances are low enough
however to just cover with VCSH groups, until better chances of
rain arrive overnight/Tue, with more MVFR/IFR conditions
expected then. SE winds gust up to 20-25 kt.
Unsettled weather continues into Wed. Expect VFR or MVFR conditions
at all sites with some isolated IFR conditions possible in heavier
showers/tstms. Some improvement expected late in the week.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...
Little change in overall marine weather conditions expected through
Wednesday, as upper low remains SW of the region and an enhanced
southerly gradient continues over the area. Plan on extending
current SCAs through at least 8 am Wednesday, with the afternoon
forecast. Winds on the Bay are expected to continue in the 15 to 20
knot range through Wednesday, and around 20 kts sustained on the
ocean. Seas on the ocean will remain AOA 5 feet, with 3 to 4 foot
waves on the Bay.
Some slow improvement expected Wednesday night into Thursday, as
upper low weakens, and moves NEWD to the north of the area. This
will cause winds to veer to the SW, which will allow drier area to
move in, and gradient to decrease.
Anticipate high rip current risk continuing Tuesday on area beaches.
Significant seas and long-shore currents should persist, and enhance
the rip current risk, through Tuesday.ishing to 10-15kt.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 1045 AM EDT Monday...
The persistent SE flow combined with the large waves near the mouth
of the Chesapeake Bay is starting to allow water to back up in the
bay, especially across the northern bay. As such, anomalies are 1.5
ft to 1.8 ft above astronomical tide. Given the recent uptick in
anomalies at Lewisetta, have also issued an advisory for the
northern Neck along the Potomac. See no reason why anomalies will
decrease much tomorrow into tomorrow night either, so another round
of coastal flood advisories will be likely again for Tuesday night's
high tide cycle.
A high risk of rip currents if forecast today for all beaches along
with the potential for dangerous shorebreak. More than likely, there
will be a moderate or high risk of rip currents along the beaches
for much of the week due to the persistent SE flow.
&&
.EQUIPMENT...
As of 320 PM EDT Saturday...
KDOX radar is inoperable due to a failure of the motor. All
parts will not arrive until Tuesday July 24. Return to service
is unknown at this time.
