Special Weather Statement, NWS Wakefield, VA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
733 PM EDT Sat Jun 6 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will drop across the region late this evening into
early Sunday morning. High pressure builds into and over the
area from the north for Sunday and Monday, then slides off the
coast Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 730 PM EDT Saturday...

Sctd showers/tstms will develop and increase in coverage (per
latest CAMS) in advance of a cold front and move down through
the area this evening into early Sun morning. SPC has us under a
Marginal Risk for severe storms with the main threats being
isolated damaging wind gusts and large hail. Sky conditions will
average partly cloudy through tonight. Lows will range from the
mid 60s to near 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 400 PM EDT Saturday...

Dry/comfortable conditions will be with us Sun and Mon, as sfc
high pressure builds down into and over the area. The sky will
be sunny or mostly sunny with highs both days mainly ranging
from the mid 70s to mid 80s. Lows Sun night will range from the
mid 50s to lower 60s. The high will be off the Mid Atlc coast on
Tue, so a little more humidity will return. Partly to mostly
sunny with highs ranging through the 80s. Mid to upper 70s at
the beaches.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Saturday...

The medium range period begins with the remnant low from
Cyclone Cristobal (both at the sfc and aloft) moving N up the
lower MS Valley, lifting up into the upper midwest Tuesday night
along the western periphery of building upper ridge, which is
progged to amplify over the ern seaboard through the latter half
of the upcoming week. Meanwhile, another strong upper shortwave
will carve out a deep upper trough over the wrn CONUS, with
that wave then lifting NE on the heels of the tropical remnants
Wed/Wed night.

Expect that the upper ridge over the area will be slow to break
down before finally retreating to our SE by late Wed or
Thursday. As the ridge breaks down, deep- layer moisture starts
to increase in advance of the approaching upper trough/remnant
low/moisture from Cristobal. Still some uncertainty as to how
fast PoPs return, but given model trends and the fact that
models often break down ridges too fast in these types of
situations, still even as 12z suite has sped up even so slightly,
think the slower end of the guidance envelope is more likely
scenario. This results in the return of slight chc PoPs in the
gridded forecast by late Wed aftn/evening west of I95. Look for
highs mainly in the mid to upper 80s on Wed and Thu.

A weak cold front associated with the upper trough then pushes
across the area on later Thu/Fri, eventually becoming hung up
along the coast as a sfc trough with cooler temps/increasing
clouds and mainly diurnally-driven PoPs of 30-40%. Highs in the
upper 70s to low 80s are expected through this period w/early
morning lows in the 60s to ~70.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 730 PM EDT Saturday...

A cold front will drop south across the region late this
evening and overnight. Sctd showers/tstms will develop in
advance of this front and move down through the area through
about 05z. Isolated MVFR conditions will be possible in any of
the heaviest showers or storms late this evening; otherwise VFR
through tonight. The front will push well south of the CWA
during Sun, as sfc high pressure builds in from the NNW allowing
for a continuation of VFR conditions. Winds will become NNE by
or before 12z Sun at all terminals with speeds remaining under
12 kt.

OUTLOOK...Dry wx/mainly VFR conditions expected for Sun night
into Tue, as high pressure builds over the area, then slides off
the coast.

&&

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

Latest obs reflect a light/variable flow across the waters this
aftn, with winds generally 10 kt or less. Sfc low pressure over
the Bay of Fundy/northern New England late today slides east
into this evening, with the associated sfc cold front
approaching the waters from the NW. Ahead of the front, some
scattered showers fired up over the far southern coastal zones
just N of Currituck light and Albemarle sound.

Sea-breeze dominated flow becomes more SSW 8-12kt early this
evening ahead of the approaching cold front. Winds then is
expected to veer around to N late tonight into Sunday morning
behind the cold front, increasing to ~15 kt after midnight. High
pressure builds N of the region Sunday aftn through Sunday
night and Monday, with the wind becoming NE and then E with
speeds generally aob 10-15kt. Seas remain around 2-3ft (~3ft
early Sunday morning), with 1-2ft waves in the Bay (2-3ft early
Sunday morning). High pressure slides offshore Tuesday into
Wednesday with the wind becoming SE, then S aob 15kt. A weak
cold front approaches from the nw later Wed/Thu, with S-SW winds
10-15 kt then persisting into next weekend. Sub-SCA conditions
continue through the late week period. Seas remain in 2-4 ft in
persistent south long period swell, with a developing easterly
swell likely making for a choppier sea state by Thu/Fri as
occasional showers/T-storms linger into the weekend.
