AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
712 AM EDT Mon Jul 8 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A weakening cold front slowly pushes south through the region
today. High pressure and drier weather return to the area
Tuesday into Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 710 AM EDT Monday...

Current GOES-16 wv imagery places a weak trough over the Mid-
Atlantic. At the surface, a cold front has pushed into the MD
Ern Shore, with broad weak low pressure over the Piedmont. High
pressure is centered over New England, and also well off the
Southeast coast. Showers/tstms have expanded in coverage over SE
VA/NE NC over the past hour, and this activity should slowly
move ewd and offshore through 6 am. Farther W, fog has settled
in over the SW Piedmont, some of which is dense, and a dense fog
advisory has been issued through 8 am. The dense fog advisory
has been extended to include some of s-central VA. Otherwise,
cloudy warm and humid with temperatures in the low/mid 70s.

The cold front will push swd today as a mid/upper trough digs
across the Northeast conus. Showers and embedded tstms are
expected to develop over the Ern Shore this morning, and then
advance swd through the day as the front pushes S. Given
abundant moisture, any showers/tstms will contain heavy rain.
However, they should demonstrate enough motion, which should
preclude any flooding concerns. High temperatures range from the
upper 70s NE, to the mid 80s S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 355 AM EDT Monday...

Model consensus continues to show enough of a NW flow aloft
around an upper level ridge over the lower MS/TN Valley and an
upper low over Atlantic Canada to bring dry conditions to the
region for Tuesday/Wednesday. Some showers/tstms may lingering
into this evening for srn VA/NE NC, but PoPs should be dropping
off rather quickly overnight except in NE NC. Becoming mostly
clear N and partly cloudy S (except mostly cloudy NE NC). Lows
in the 60s N and central to the lower 70s SE. A few lingering
showers are possible in NE NC early Tuesday morning as there is
some uncertainty with respect to how far S the front will move
give the time of year. Overall Tuesday and Wednesday will be
pleasant for July under a partly cloudy to mostly sunny sky with
dewpoints in the 60s. Highs will mainly in the mid to upper 80s
both days (low 80s at the coast). Lows Tue night will avg
60-65F inland and 65-70F along the coast of SE VA/NE NC.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 350 PM EDT Sunday...

The extended forecast looks fairly seasonable with the typical
summertime tstm chances as strong upper ridging remains over the wrn
CONUS w/ (weak) W-WNW flow aloft over the Mid-Atlantic. Sfc high
pressure shifts offshore Wed night, allowing for return flow to
develop on Wed night-Thu. At the same time, an upper shortwave/sfc
low pressure tracks eastward from srn Ontario to far nrn New
England. As this happens, the associated weak sfc trough axis
approaches the region from the W. This will allow for tstm chances
to return from NW to SE by Thu aftn and continue through Thu night.
Shower and thunderstorm chances continue on Fri-Sat, although the
best chances will be over S/SE zones. Expect the highest coverage of
showers/tstms to be from the aftn-late evening on each day.
Maintained slight chc-chc PoPs from Thu-Sat. Models are showing a
tropical system developing across the nrn Gulf of Mexico late this
week and potentially making landfall during the Fri-Sat timeframe.
Still too early to tell if we will see any impacts from the
(potential) remnant low.

Seasonable temps expected through the extended, with highs mainly in
the upper 80s-low 90s. Lows Wed night in the low-mid 60s NW/upper
60s-low 70s SE, rising into the upper 60s NW-mid 70s in coastal SE
VA/NE NC through the remainder of the extended period with increased
humidity.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 710 PM EDT Monday...

A weak cold front has pushed into the MD Ern Shore as of 12z.
Low-level moisture is abundant across the region, especially
after the rain from yesterday aftn. The cig at RIC has lifted,
but there is still the potential for it to fall to LIFR through
15z. Rain has developed at SBY and occasional IFR vsby is
expected in heavier rain. MVFR cigs will continue at ORF before
lifting later this morning. Otherwise, showers and a few
embedded tstms are expected to drop swd across the area Monday
as the front pushes through. Cigs are expected to slowly improve
through the day Monday, but potentially remain MVFR at RIC/SBY.
High pressure builds in from the N tonight with cigs lifting
and scattering from N-S.

High pressure prevails Tuesday and Wednesday, before sliding
offshore Thursday. A weak front approaches from the W Thursday
with a chc of aftn/evening showers/tstms returning. This front
lingers into Friday with another chc of aftn/evening
showers/tstms.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 355 AM EDT Monday...

The cold front is currently over the waters, with E-NE winds north
of the front and southerly winds to the south. The front is expected
to slowly move southward today. As it does, high pressure will build
in from the north. This will allow the pressure gradient to
tighten later this morning into this afternoon across the northern
half of the waters which will bring small craft conditions to the
northern coastal waters as well as the central Chesapeake Bay. As
such, have maintained the SCA for the coastal waters, but have
extended it southward to Cape Charles. Have also included the
Central Chesapeake Bay in a SCA for this afternoon into early this
evening. Am expecting NE winds to increase to 15 to 20 kt with waves
to 2 to 3 ft in the northern part of the bay, and up to 20 kt and
seas 4 to 6 ft in the coastal waters. Winds will also increase late
this afternoon into early this evening across the southern bay,
however will not issue a SCA at this time as the period of
marinal small craft advisory conditions look quite short (less than
3 hr).

Will maintain the SCA for the coastal waters tonight as seas will
continue in the 4-6 ft range due to the persistent NE flow.
Once the high builds southward, expect Tue/Wed to be fairly
quiet with NE winds of 10 to 15 kt and seas less than 4 ft (2 ft
or less in the bay). Southerly winds return by Thursday ahead
of the next cold front, but conditions should remain well below
SCA criteria.
