...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM TO NOON EDT
SATURDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT SATURDAY TO 5 AM
EST MONDAY...
* WHAT....For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to three feet of
inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near
shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory,
breaking waves of 8 to 11 feet in the surf zone.
* WHERE...Eastern Currituck County.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 2 AM to noon EDT
Saturday. For the High Surf Advisory, from 6 AM EDT Saturday
to 5 AM EST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Widespread flooding of vulnerable areas will result in
an elevated threat of property damage to homes and businesses
near the waterfront and shoreline. Water will be 1 to 3 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. Large breaking waves of 8 to 11 feet will result in
dangerous surf conditions. Do not enter or approach the water
due to the risk of being swept away.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Breaking waves will result beach erosion.
Erosion and damage to dune structures is possible. Actions
should be taken to protect property along the immediate
shoreline.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or
imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water...and take appropriate action to protect life
and property. Be prepared for the possibility of road closures
and flooding of properties. If travel is necessary...do not
attempt to drive through water of unknown depth.
A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area...producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.

...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO 2 PM EDT
SATURDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT SATURDAY TO 5 AM
EST MONDAY...
* WHAT....For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to two feet of
inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near
shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory,
breaking waves of 7 to 9 feet in the surf zone.
* WHERE...Virginia Beach.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 4 AM to 2 PM EDT

* IMPACTS...Widespread flooding of vulnerable areas will 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. Large breaking waves of 7 to 9 feet will result in
dangerous surf conditions. Do not enter or approach the water
due to the risk of being swept away. In addition, the large
breaking waves will result in beach erosion.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or
imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water...and take appropriate action to protect life
and property. Be prepared for the possibility of road closures

Area forecast discussion, Nov 5, 4:29 AM EDT, 4 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
429 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain north of the region through the
weekend. An area of low pressure will track up the Carolina
before moving out to sea early next week. High pressure builds
back into the region next week. .
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 400 AM EDT Friday...
The latest analysis indicates ~1028mb sfc high pressure remains centered
across the lower Great Lakes/upper OH Valley. Freeze warnings
remain in effect through 9 AM this morning for the I-95 corridor
and western lower MD Easter Shore with frost advisory farther
east. North winds and clouds have kept temperatures mild (around
50) near the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Dry and mostly
sunny today as high pressure remains centered northwest of the
area.
A strengthening area of low pressure will be tracking across
the Florida peninsula today. High clouds will begin to spread
farther north into the area late this afternoon and into
tonight. These high clouds will likely keep low temperatures
slightly warmer tonight, especially across North Carolina and
southern Virginia. Lows are forecasted to be in the 40s across
Hampton Roads and mid 30s for the Richmond metro. Temperatures
may drop to 30-32 degrees north and west of Richmond and
interior areas of the Eastern Shore. Clouds will also limit any
development of frost in areas where the growing season has not
ended yet.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 400 AM EDT Friday...
A significant Nor'easter will likely impact portions of Hampton
Road and northeastern North Carolina this weekend. The low
pressure is currently located over the northeastern Gulf of
Mexico. This low will track across central Florida today then
move into the Atlantic Friday evening. Once the low pressure
moves over the Atlantic, it will begin to deepen. The center of
the low pressure will remain well east of Cape Hatteras, so
impact to the local area will remain across extreme southeast
VA and eastern NC.
Rain will move into the area from the south beginning late
Saturday afternoon. Heavy rain is likely across coastal NC and
Norfolk/Portsmouth and points south, with heaviest rain moving
into these area Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Rain
totals may be 1 to 3 inches for Norfolk and area to the south.
Highest rain totals will likely be closer to Outer
Banks/Albemarle Sound.
High winds are possible along the Virginia Beach and Currituck
coasts. Winds will be increasing Saturday afternoon and Saturday
night with highest winds Sunday morning. Sustained northeast
winds may be around 30-35 mph with gusts up to 45-50 mph at the
beaches. Remaining areas of Hampton Roads and interior northeast
NC will see max winds 20-25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
Conditions along the coast are expected to begin to improve
Sunday night as the low pressure pulls away from the coast.
For areas along and west of I-95, towards the Northern Neck,
and western portions of the MD Eastern Shore, the weekend will
be fairly quiet with little to no rain expected. However, winds
may be gusty along the Chesapeake Bay and at the MD Beaches.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 200 AM EDT Friday...
Much quieter weather is expected for most of next week. Weak
ridge builds up the east coast as sfc high pressure becomes
centered over the regions. No rain is expected next week.
Warming trend expected next week with above average
temperatures. High temperatures will be in the upper 60s to low
70s and low temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 200 AM EDT Friday...
Skies have already cleared west of the Chesapeake Bay with VFR
conditions prevailing. BKN to sct skies with CIGs 035-050 will
continue through 12z Friday near the bay/ocean. Clearing is
expected Friday morning. VFR overnight with a N wind, becoming
gusty to ~20kt at ORF between 06-12Z and at all areas closer to
the coast during the day Fri. Skies will be mainly clear/sunny
early Friday. High clouds will begin to move north as a strong
area of low pressure moves up the coast.
VFR conditions and gusty NNE winds at the coast continue Fri
night and Sat as another system moves NE from FL by Sat. By Sun
into Mon, the low is forecast to intensify off the Carolina
coast, bringing the potential for strong N to NE winds near the
coast, with increasing chances for rain and flight restrictions.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 330 AM EDT Friday...
An extended period of rough to dangerous boating conditions expected
into early next week as a very active weather pattern continues thru
the period. After the first coastal low departs today, a deepening
secondary storm off the NC coast will likely produce gale force
winds (possible storm force across the NC OBX) along with moderate
coastal flooding to possibly major (at Corolla) Sun. Stay tuned!
In the short term, SCA's remain up today for all areas except the
inland rivers due to the pres grad btwn high pres to the w and
departing (first) coastal low. N winds at 20-25 kts (with gusts to
30 kts along the coast) this morning will begin to diminish this
aftrn as the grad begins to relax. Although winds diminish a bit
along the coastal water, SCA's have been extended thru 06Z Sun as
seas remain elevated thru the weekend. Ditto for the Currituck Sound
as winds remain at SCA levels thru 06Z Sun.
Attn then turns to a deepening coastal low progged to track along
the Gulf Stream Wall off the NC coast Sat nite/Sun nite. All
indications (Wind probs/Bufkit sndgs) are for a strong gale event
before the systm shifts farther off the coast starting arnd 06Z Sun
thru Sun nite. Have NNE winds increasing back to SCA levels Sat
aftrn across the srn Ches Bay and most of the coastal waters, then
increasing to solid/strong gale late Sat nite and Sun across those
areas. Some of the models are going even higher with the gusts (low
end storm force) across the nrn OBX Sun. Given a late 4th/5th period
event, decided to hold off on gale headlines with this package,
allowing the day shift to fine tune where gale headlines will be
needed. Will carry gusts btwn 40-45 kts across the srn waters Sun.
Gale headlines may be needed across the srn Ches Bay and likely
across the Currituck Sound Sun. Have bumped up seas as well due to
the stronger winds. Seas avg 10-15 ft south, 6-10 ft north Sun. Will
likely need a high surf advsry at some point over the weekend.
Wind/wind gusts will slowly diminish early next week but seas should
remain elevated thru mid week.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 400 AM EDT Friday...
Coastal flood advsrys remain in effect for this mornings high tide
around the Lower James including Hampton Roads and the Outer banks.
This due to the combo of the persistant N-NE winds and king tides.
Attn then shifts to a deepening coastal low that will track NNE
along the Gulf Stream wall over the weekend. A more prolonged and
widespread coastal flooding event is expected by Sun with most areas
across the north seeing minor flooding issues, moderate flooding
issues expected across the lwr Ches Bay and adjacent coastal waters
with the potential for some major flooding issues across the nrn NC
OBX.
