  and tidal waterways.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Flooding of vulnerable areas could result in
  an elevated threat of property damage to homes and businesses
  near the waterfront and shoreline. Water will be 1 to 2 feet 
  above ground level in some areas resulting in a sufficient depth
  to close numerous roads and threaten homes and businesses. 
  Flooding will extend inland from the waterfront along tidal 
  rivers and bays resulting in some road closures and flooding of 
  vehicles.

* SURF OR RIP CURRENT RISK...Breaking waves of around 3 feet 
  will result in rough surf conditions and a high risk of rip 
  currents.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for
flooding are expected to develop. Coastal residents should be
alert for later statements or warnings...and take action to
protect property.

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.

...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Wakefield has issued a Coastal
Flood Watch, which is in effect from late Thursday night through
late Friday night.

* LOCATION...The Lower Maryland Eastern Shore and Western Shore of
  the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia including the Northern Neck and
  Middle Peninsula Counties.

* TIMING...From late Thursday night through late Friday night.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...One to two feet of inundation above 
  ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines 
  and tidal waterways.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Flooding of vulnerable areas could result in
  an elevated threat of property damage to homes and businesses
  near the waterfront and shoreline. Water will be 1 to 2 feet
  above ground level in some areas resulting in a sufficient depth
  to close numerous roads and threaten homes and businesses.
  Flooding will extend inland from the waterfront along tidal
  rivers and bays resulting in some road closures and flooding of
  vehicles.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for
flooding are expected to develop. Coastal residents should be
alert for later statements or warnings...and take action to
protect property.

Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

* LOCATION...Maryland and Virginia Beaches, and the Outer Banks 
  Currituck.

* TIMING...Until 8 PM EDT this evening.

* SURF OR RIP CURRENT RISK...Breaking waves of around 3 feet 
  will result in rough surf conditions and a high risk of rip 
  currents.

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.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 3:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
359 PM EDT Sun Sep 1 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds across the area tonight and Monday. A cold front
crosses the area Monday night with high presure building into the
area Tuesday and Wednesday. Hurricane Dorian is expected to track
northeast along the southeast and Mid Atlantic coasts later this week.
Refer to the National Hurricane Center for the latest forecasts on
Dorian.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
As of 345 PM EDT Sunday...

Latest MSAS shows a weak bndry across srn VA with high prs over
New England. Isltd convection over the Piedmont and south should
dissipate with loss of heating this eve. Meanwhile, models show
a weak impulse drifting ne across ern NC late tonite/erly Mon along
a developing coastal bndry. Will carry slght chc PoPs across sern
VA/ne NC after 06z. Otw, pt cldy this eve will become mstly cldy
after midnite as a stratus deck is expected to form. Lows 65-70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 345 PM EDT Sunday...

Said energy lifts ne and across the VaCapes Mon morning with another
impulse progged to drift ne ivof ne NC Mon aftrn. Thus, will carry
slght chc PoPs across sern VA/ne NC Mon. Meanwhile, moisture from
the apprchg cold front to the west is slower to move east of the
mts. Think it will be after 21Z Tue before any convection with this
front moves into the nwrn most zones. Otw, pt sunny with highs mid-
upr 80s except arnd 80 at the beaches.

The cold front crosses the area Mon nite. Models initially show a
band of moisture with this bndry as it moves east across the Piedmont,
but rapidly dissipates the moisture farther east. Thus, will carry
low chc PoPs across the Piedmont and lwr Md ern shore, dry south
and east. Lows 65-70.

Mainly dry Tues as high prs builds into the area. Some hints of an
seabreeze shwr/tstrm across nern NC. Highs mid-upr 80s. Fair to pt
cldy Tues nite. Lows mid 60s-lwr 70s.

The heat continues Wed as weak high pressure moves across the area.
Sct convection will likely develop across the sern half of the fa as
moisture lifts north ahead of a coastal front. This moisture will
be confined to the sern zones during the aftrn. Highs mid 80s along
the coast to lwr 90s across the Piedmont.

A trof will be tracking to the north of the local area Wed eve with
slght chc PoPs. Deeper moisture along the coastal front begins to
move north late Wed nite. Will carry chc PoPs across the north with
likely PoPs across the south. Lows mid 60s-lwr 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 345 PM EDT Saturday...

The latest NHC forecast has Hurricane Dorian tracking parallel
and just off the Carolina coast Thursday into early Friday, and
global deterministic and ensemble guidance have shown some
clustering and consistency with this track. As this occurs a
trough is forecast to dig across New England with high pressure
building into the Great Lakes. GFS/ECMWF each depict a 200mb jet
enhancing N of the tropical cyclone suggesting that heavy rain
will shift to the left of the track and spread into ern VA/NE NC
and potential up to SE MD. Current WPC rainfall outlook is QPF
of 2-4" and up to 6" for SE VA/NE NC, with potential higher
amounts along the NC coast. There is a potential for tropical
storm force wind, especially near and along the coast, and a
large portion of the area is within the error cone of the
forecast track. Drier conditions arrive behind Dorian with a
cold front dropping through the area later in the weekend.

Forecast highs are in the mid 70s to around 80F Thursday and Friday,
and in the upper 70s to low 80s Saturday/Sunday. Forecast lows are in
the mid 60s to low 70s Thursday/Friday and in the mid 50s to low 60s
into the weekend.

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Sunday...

SCT-BKN CU btwn 3-5 K Ft this afternoon will diminish this eve
before another batch of stratus 1-2K Ft develop late tonite. A
shwr is psbl at ECG/ORF late tonite as a weak disturbance lifts
ne across ne NC. light/variable winds tonight become south at
less than 10 KTS Mon.

Outlook: A cold front crosses the area Mon night. This should
mainly come through dry, but a shwr/tstm is psbl with its passage
Mon eve at RIC/SBY. The eventual track of Hurricane Dorian will
dictate weather impacts on the local area late in the week.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 345 PM EDT Sunday...

Latest sfc analysis shows ~1028 mb high pressure centered off the
coast of srn ME, with Major Hurricane Dorian slowly moving westward
through the Bahamas. In between, winds are mainly E at ~10 kt, with
a few gusts to 15 kt. Seas have built to 3-4 ft this aftn as long-
period SE swell out ahead of distant Hurricane Dorian continues to
push north toward the lower Mid-Atlantic coastal waters. Waves
remain 1-2 ft in the Chesapeake Bay (highest at the mouth of the
bay).

Generally sub-SCA conditions over the marine area for the remainder
of the holiday weekend. Winds remain onshore around 10 kt through
late Monday. Winds briefly turn to the S Monday night before
becoming N then NE on Tuesday as a weak cold front crosses the
region. Latest NHC forecast continues to show Hurricane Dorian
slowly moving N off the coast of FL from Tue-Wed AM. At the same
time, another area of low pressure and its associated cold front
track through from the nrn Great Lakes to srn Quebec. Ahead of the
front (on Wed), winds become southerly again and increase to 10-15
kt. The cold front approaches the area late Wed night-Thu AM...but
the latest 12z/01 guidance stalls the front N of the area. Behind
the front, high pressure is progged to build from the Great Lakes to
nrn New England. In addition, there has been a subtle westward shift
with respect to the the latest track on Dorian. NHC is now
forecasting the system to track from ~50 miles off the SC coast to
just E of Cape Hatteras during the 12z Thu-12z Fri timeframe. Seas
remain in the 2-4 ft range with waves on the bay of 1-2 ft from Mon
through Wed aftn.

While some model disagreement continues (GFS is fastest in timing,
ECMWF is ~12 hours slower), confidence in tropical storm conditions
throughout much of the marine zones (especially S) is increasing.
Model/NHC consensus shows a significant increase in winds/seas Thu
aftn-Thu night, with dangerous/deteriorating boating conditions
expected across the waters Thu night and early Friday as Hurricane
Dorian approaches the region (and likely starts to acquire some
extratropical characteristics as it interacts with the
aforementioned cold front just to our N). Even well N of the center
of the storm, there will be a tight pressure gradient between the
sfc high to the north and Dorian to the south that will produce an
uptick in NE winds by Thu night. As Dorian moves off the srn VA/NC
coast on Fri, winds turn to the N-NNW but may remain aoa tropical
storm thresholds as cooler air wraps in behind the system (promoting
mixing of higher winds aloft over the waters). Am now mentioning the
possibility of tropical storm conditions across all the waters in
the forecast. Seas may build to ~15 ft by Thu night, with waves
greater than 5 ft on the bay. Marine interests are strongly
encouraged to continue monitoring the latest forecast from the NHC
regarding the progress of TC Dorian. Since it is still several days
out, some uncertainty still exists in the current forecast (and
expect changes in the coming days).

Winds/seas slowly diminish from late Fri-next weekend as Dorian
moves away from the area (but winds/seas may remain aoa SCA
thresholds through the first part of Sat).

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 700 AM EDT Sunday...

Increasing SE swell out ahead of Dorian will bring a gradually
increasing Rip Current threat over the next few days along area
beaches. The potential for tidal flooding ahead of Dorian
increases by mid week through Friday.
