AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
511 AM EST Fri Feb 7 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Strong low pressure will lift northeast of the area this morning
and along the New England coast this afternoon into this
evening. That low will pull a cold front across the region and
off the coast this morning into this afternoon. Weak high
pressure will be over the area late tonight into Saturday. A
weak front crosses the region Saturday night, with high pressure
building back over the area for Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 505 AM EST Friday...
As of 500 am, one low pressure area was over NE West VA, while
a second low pressure area was over SW VA. Main bulk of rain was
pushing off the coast, so have cancelled all Flood Watches for
the CWA.
Otherwise, low pressure will lift NE of the region this morning
and along the New England coast this aftn into this evening.
That low will pull a cold front across the area and off the
coast this morning into this aftn. Expect just sctd showers over
portions of the region into early this aftn. So far, rainfall
totals have generally ranged between 1.5 and 3.5 inches across
the region.
Later this morning through this aftn, expect breezy/windy
conditions over the area, under a partly to mostly sunny sky.
Wind gusts between 35-50 mph will occur across the CWA, so a
Wind Advisory remains in effect until 4 or 6 pm today. High
temps today will range from the mid 50s to the mid 60s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 340 AM EST Friday...
Becoming mostly clear with seasonable temps tonight with lows
in the upper 20s and mid 30s. Near climatological norms for
highs on Sat aftn as well with highs ranging from mid 40s to
around 50. Mostly sunny with increasing aftn clouds. A weak
upper shortwave swings across the area Sat night into early Sun
morning. However, moisture looks to be lacking with this system
and the models are showing a few hundredths of QPF at best.
But, still kept a slight chc of showers for the entire area.
High pressure settles in for Sun, as the shortwave moves to our
east. Highs mainly in the lower to mid 50s. Mostly clear to
partly cloudy Sun night with lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 245 PM EST Thursday...
The medium range period will continue to feature a warmer than
normal pattern overall as the local area remains on the northern
periphery of a mid/upper level ridge that will initially be located
over the Gulf of Mexico, and will shift to the east off the Atlantic
coast of Florida by mid to late week.
Dry to start the period Sunday night with high pressure across the
area, retreating offshore Monday. Warming up Monday with highs back
into the 60s for most areas, with a chance for some showers moving
in from the NW late. A northern stream mid/upper trough axis is
progged to slowly approach from the NW Mon night through Tue, and
will amplify a bit Tue night while pushing through. Will have a
broad-brushed 40-50% PoP for this timeframe. Still mild with highs
Tue in the 60s/possible near 70F SE to the 50s NW. Latest EPS/GEFS
do depict enough of a push of drier air from the N to have high
pressure build in from the N and dry conditions for Wed. Cooler Wed
but still at or above normal with highs mostly in the 50s. Models
diverge after that, and will have chc PoPs returning for Thu with
it staying warm with highs in the 50s and 60s.
&&
.AVIATION /10Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 255 AM EST Friday...
Main area of rain will push off the coast by 6 am this morning,
with mainly IFR/MVFR conditions lasting at the TAF sites between
6-9 am, then conditions becoming VFR everywhere for later this
morning and lasting into Sat morning. S winds 5-15 kt with
gusts to near 20 kt early this morning, will shift to the SW
then W and increase to 15-25 kt with gusts to 35-40 kt for later
this morning through this aftn.
Outlook: Weak high pressure will build into and over the region
for tonight into Sat. A weak area of low pressure/front crosses
the area Sat night bringing a slight chc of showers. High
pressure returns Sun, then another area of low pressure
approaches from the W Mon.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 220 AM EST Friday...
Starting out w/ (increasing) S winds early then becoming SW as
lo pres strengthens (into this afternoon) while passing by N of
