AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
337 PM EDT Sun Jun 14 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary will linger along the NC coast tonight,
while high pressure builds south into the mid Atlantic region.
Unsettled conditions will prevail for the early to middle part
of next week as an upper level low pressure drops to our west
then south. The upper level low potentially tracks back north
across the region for the latter part of the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
As of 230 PM EDT Sunday...
Upper level low pres continues to develop to our W tonight
while a frontal boundary lingers along the NC coast. Much of the
local area will remain sandwiched between these two features as
sfc hi pres extends S into the mid-Atlantic region from New England.
NE winds (still gusty at least this evening...esp at the coast)
and partly-mostly cloudy conditions are expected to prevail.
ISOLD-SCT -RA will continue INVOF NE NC...maybe sneaking a bit
farther N into far srn/SE VA. Also...will keep PoPs aob 20% over
parts of the Piedmont (well W of the I 95 corridor) until about
00Z/15. Lows tonight in the m50s-around 60F central/W to the
l-m60s E.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 250 PM EDT Sunday...
Unsettled period of wx expected Mon through mid week as upper
level low pres tracks very slowly into/through the SE CONUS
states. At the same time...gusty onshore winds will be feeding
cool/moist air from the ocean. Initially...Mon-Tue...blended
guidance showing that pcpn will be slow to push N across all of
the local area. As the upper low moves a little closer by late
Tue into Wed...there will be an increased threat for more
widespread RA...potentially locally heavy (esp far S and SE
portions of VA into NE NC) (and HWO will continue to highlight
the potential). WPC has outlooked that area by day 3 MRGL for
excessive rainfall. Tstm chcs are expected to remain low through
Tue then increase by Wed. Total QPF through Wed may reach a few
inches over srn/SE VA-NE NC.
Temperatures will avg well below normal through the period.
Highs Mon/Tue will be mainly in the l-m70s. Lows Mon night in
the u60s-l60s...except m60s at the coast in SE VA-NE NC. Highs
Wed will range through the 70s (maybe 80F far SE VA-NE NC).
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Sunday...
The initial part of the extended forecast period will continue
to be dominated by a slowly weakening upper level low pres system
INVOF the SE states. That upper low is expected to dissipate
leaving a trough behind into next weekend. Onshore sfc winds
combined w/ VRB clouds/mostly cloudy and SCT-likely (50-70%)
PoPs will keep temperatures blo normal Thu. From Fri-Sat winds
are expected to become more SSW...clouds more SCT and pcpn more
ISOLD than SCT (PoPs 15-30%) leading to temperatures returning
closer to normal. By Sun...a flat ridge aloft across the SE
states is expected to lead to hot/mainly dry wx.
Lows Wed night in the l-m60s...except u60s along coastal SE
VA/NE NC. Highs Thu from the m70s W to the u70s-l80s at the
coast. Lows Thu night in the l-m60s...except around 70F at the
coast. Highs Fri in the l-m80s. Lows Fri night in the
m-u60s...except around 70F at the coast. Highs Sat in the 80s
at the coast...around 90F inland. Highs Sun mainly in the
u80s-l90s.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 100 PM EDT Sunday...
Expect generally VFR conditions to continue through the 12z/15
as sfc hi pres remains near the FA. A weak frontal boundary
will continue to linger near the NC coast (but SE of the forecast
area) into Mon. Any appreciable pcpn through tonight is expected
to remain to the S or SE of ECG...but wouldn't rule out brief
MVFR CIGs at ECG. NE winds 10-15 kt into tonight (gusts to 20 kt
esp at the coast). Clouds increase late tonight/Mon morning w/
lower CIGs (MVFR) likely except at SBY. Upper level low pres
remains just WSW of the FA into mid week...resulting in
unsettled conditions (increased CHCs for SHRAs/perhaps a few
aftn/early evening tstms by Wed). High prob of MVFR/IFR
conditions (primarily from CIGs) from Mon through the middle of
the week...esp across srn/SE VA/NE NC.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 335 PM EDT Sunday...
Afternoon surface analysis shows 1030+mb high pressure over eastern
Canada with weak/diffuse low pressure to the south of FL, leading to
east and northeast winds across the waters this afternoon. Winds are
generally 10-15 knots over most of the area but obs show 15-20 knots
across the southern waters. Waves in the bay are around 2 ft, closer
to 3 ft at the mouth of the bay. Seas have started to trend upward
with 4-5 ft S and 3-4 ft N.
An inverted trough of low pressure is noted over the higher terrain
of of eastern TN/KY and western portions of VA/NC. This surface
trough has formed in response to a digging upper trough that is
forecast to become a cut off low which lingers over the Southeast
for much of the upcoming week. A prolonged period of onshore
east/northeast winds is forecast between high pressure to the north
and weak low pressure/surface trough near the SC coast. Started the
southern (southern coastal waters, Currituck Sound, lower Ches Bay,
and lower James River) SCA headlines a few hours early today to
cover increasing winds and seas this afternoon. Model guidance shows
a bit of a lull in winds tonight before increasing again into
Monday morning. Went ahead and raised SCA flags for the
remainder of the bay starting at 10AM Monday but opted not to
issue any headlines for the York and Rappahannock where
confidence in timing of the stronger winds is lower. Seas will
build from south-to-north tonight with all coastal waters firmly
in the 4-5 ft range by early Monday morning. Thus, maintained
the 4AM start time for the northern coastal water's SCA. Seas
continue to build on Monday with 5-7 ft S and 4-6 ft N by
sunset. Waves in the bay will range from 2-4 ft on Monday with
4-5 ft near the mouth of the bay. Conditions will remain largely
steady from Monday into Tuesday with continued onshore flow.
Winds are forecast to begin to weaken somewhat Tuesday night but
considerable uncertainty exists with respect to the upper low's
placement which will have downstream effects on the surface
pressure pattern/orientation and resulting wind fields.
Regardless, seas look to remain above SCA thresholds through
Wednesday before continuing to slowly subside late this week.
The persistent cut off low moves N and weakens on Friday before
finally sliding offshore on Saturday. The result will be lighter
winds (shifting to S) Friday which will become SW Sunday through
Sunday night. High pressure builds in Sunday. Waves subside to 1 to
2 ft and seas subside to 2 to 3 feet. Sub-SCA winds and waves
expected at this time.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Moderate risk for rip currents today, forecast to increase to
high risk from VA Beach south on Mon and all beaches on Tue
given building seas and onshore flow. At this time, not
anticipating much in the way of tidal flooding into the coast
and Bay, though current forecasts have water levels at some
sites into action stage Tue-Wed so there is some potential for
minor flooding.
