AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
443 PM EDT Sat Sep 14 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak front approaches the region tonight and crosses the area
on Sunday before washing out over NC Sunday night. High
pressure builds in early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 330 PM EDT Saturday...

High pressure, well to the east of Cape Cod, continues to move
eastward this afternoon, allowing local winds to swing around to the
southeast. A few weak returns are showing up on radar near and north
of the Albemarle sound and will maintain slight chance PoPs across
the southeast into the overnight.

A weak surface cold front is poised to the NW of the region and will
approach the area tonight. There is the potential for fog
development, especially across the southern Piedmont late tonight
into early Sunday. Guidance has trended lower with precip along the
front tonight into Sunday morning and will only show slight chance
PoPs across the north and northwest through 12Z Sunday. Overnight
lows in the mid 60s to right around 70 degrees.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Saturday...

The aforementioned cold front drops NW to SE Sunday morning,
bringing a chance for showers prior to noon. Instability and
upper dynamics are lacking with this boundary but did include a
slight chance for a few rumbles of thunder as the front nears
the VA/NC border region during peak heating Sunday afternoon.
The front should slow its southward progress into the afternoon
hours and will wash out near or just south of the region into
early Monday. Lingering slight chance of showers across the far
southern portion of the area Sunday evening. Highs on Sunday in
the low to mid 80s with overnight lows ranging through the 60s
(coolest N and NW).

High pressure builds in for Monday with ample sunshine, resulting in
warm afternoon temperatures in the mid 80s to around 90 degrees. Mid
60s and low 70s for low temps Monday night. High pressure to the
north sends a backdoor cold front through the region on Tuesday with
NE winds in its wake. Slight chance for showers along and ahead of
the this front through Tuesday evening. Highs will be modestly
cooler on Tuesday with increased clouds, ranging from the upper 70s
across MD Eastern Shore to mid 80s across the SW Piedmont.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Saturday...

Strong agreement amongst the models that Tropical Storm Humberto
will remain offshore and turn out to sea well south of the region.
Otherwise, high pressure builds southward across the region
Wednesday into Friday as a frontal boundary washes out well south of
the area. Much cooler and drier air builds into the region beginning
on Wednesday. Highs will generally range from the mid 70s to near 80
on both Wednesday and Thursday with mostly sunny skies. Lows dip
back into the mid to upper 50s away from the coast on both Wednesday
night and Thursday night. A warming trend begins again on Friday as
upper level ridging builds back across the region, highs on Friday
will generally be in the lower 80s with mid to upper 80s by
Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 100 PM EDT Saturday...

Generally expecting VFR flying weather this afternoon with winds
becoming southeast by this evening as high pressure to the north
continues to move east. Stubborn MVFR CIGs continue this
afternoon and have added tempo groups to all but RIC to cover
brief reductions to MVFR. CIGs lower tonight as a cold front
approaches the region from the NW. Potential for fog after
15.06Z at RIC, SBY and PHF, which could become dense in areas
prior to and just after sunrise Sunday morning.

OUTLOOK...Mainly VFR conditions likely prevail later Sun morning
thru Mon. However, there is a chc of showers/tstms on Sun into
Sun evening, so brief flight restrictions (due to VSBY) are
possible in any tstm.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 330 PM EDT Saturday...

High pressure east of Nova Scotia is resulting in an easterly flow
this afternoon. Winds have generally been 5-10 kts with occasional
15 kt gusts across the coastal waters. Waves in the bay running 1-2
ft and seas 4-5 ft. SCA continues for the coastal waters through 10Z
Sunday, at that point seas will have subsided to 2-4 ft and remain
there through Sunday. A cold front approaches the area on Sunday but
will likely wash out somewhere across the region during the day but
should make it far enough to shift winds to N/NE for Sunday
afternoon and evening. Wind speeds remain 5-10 kts.

Attention for the upcoming week turns to Humberto. While the track
keeps the system well away from our region off the SE coast, a tight
pressure gradient will develop thanks to Humberto and strong high
pressure that builds in over the northeast. This could result in
easterly winds of 15-25 kts from late Tuesday through Thursday and
seas potentially building to 5-8 ft, and waves of 2-3 ft in the
southern part of the bay. Will continue to monitor over the next few
days.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

There is a high risk of rip currents through this evening for
Atlantic beaches. Sunday there will be a high risk of rip
currents for southern beaches including Hampton Roads and the
Northern Outer Banks, and a moderate risk of rip currents for
the Maryland and Virginia eastern shore beaches.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
KDOX radar remains offline until further notice due to an equipment
issue. Updates will be passed along as they become available.

&&

.AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MD...None.
NC...None.
VA...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM EDT Sunday for ANZ650-652-654-
     656-658.
