What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Sep 1, 3:20 AM EDT, 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 3:20 AM EDT, 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
320 AM EDT Wed Sep 1 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
The remnant low of Ida will track northeast of the area today,
then push off the coast tonight. High pressure builds in from
the north Thursday through Sunday. A weak front crosses the area
late Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 320 AM EDT Wednesday...

Remnant low of Ida progged to track ne along the mts this morning,
across nrn VA this aftrn, PA/NJ this eve then into New England by
12Z Thurs. Its trailing cold front moves across the area later
today, pushing off the coast after midnite. This track keeps the
synoptically driven widespread rainfall north of the local area.
Meanwhile, models continue to show plumes of tropical moisture
tracking west to east resulting in several bands of shwrs/strms
across the area later this morning thru this eve. Given PW's aoa 2
inches, locally hvy downpours could result in some minor flooding
issues, but the progressive nature of the cells is not conducive for
any widespread flash flooding. WBC keeps areas mainly north of a SBY-
PTB-AVC line in a SLGT day 1 ERO. Total QPF btwn 1 to 1.5 inches
north, less than 1 inch south.

Main threat this aftrn/eve will be spin-up supercell tornadoes
(highest across the northern zones closer to the overall better
forcing and helicity potential). SPC has most of the area in a SLGHT
svr risk for this with an ENH risk across Dorchester/Wicomico Md.
Highest PoPs will be this aftrn/eve, tapering off after midnite as
the front pushes off the coast.

Expect a wide range in temps (due to cloud coverage and pcpn). Highs
from the upr 70 to arnd 80 nw to the lwr 90s across the se due to a
good deal of morning heating. Lows tonite lwr 60s nw to lwr 70s
se.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 320 AM EDT Wednesday...

With a quicker frontal passage, models now take most pcpn offshore
Thurs morning with drier air pushing east during the day. Will
keep low chc PoPs along the coast erly Thurs, otw, bcmg pt/mstly
sunny. Cooler/less humid with highs upr 70s-lwr 80s.

Mstly clr/cool Thurs nite. Lows in the 50s west, 60-65 east.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 320 AM EDT Wednesday...

Canadian high pressure builds into the area from the NW Fri/Sat
providing dry and much cooler conditons (early preview of fall). The
next front apprchs from the NW late Sun with a sfc trof out ahead of
it. Models show isltd-sct convection dvlpng along this feature
during the aftrn. Will carry slght chc PoPs across the north/west.
Summer conditions return early next week.

Highs Fri mid 70s-lwr 80s. Lows mid 50-mid 60s. Highs Sat 80-85.
Lows in the 60s. Highs Sun low-mid 80s and 85-90 both Mon/Tue. Lows
in the 60s to nr 70 se.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 120 AM EDT Wednesday...

VFR conditions to start off the forecast period ahead of Ida's
remnant low. This feature tracks ne of the local area this aftrn
and eve before pushing off the coast later tonite. Plumes of
tropical moisture will stream north across the area Wed with sct
to nmrs shwrs thru out the day. Tstms look more likely after 18Z
so only indicated VCTS at RIC/SBY for now. Tightening pres gradient
ahead of the low increases the south winds Wed with gusty 15-25 KTS.
Look for VFR CIGS to lwr to MVFR later Wed with lcl IFR VSBYS in
lclly hvy downpours.

OUTLOOK...
Dry/VFR conditions return Thurs thru the upcoming weekend. NNE
winds will be a bit gusty near the coast Thurs into early Fri.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 345 PM EDT Tuesday...

Afternoon weather analysis shows TD Ida centered over northern AL
with weak high pressure off the SE coast. Winds are out of the S and
SW at 5-10 kt. Waves in the bay are around 1 ft with seas offshore 2-
3 ft.

Winds turn to the east and southeast tonight as the gradient begins
to tighten ahead of the remnant low. The low becomes elongated from
SW to NE across land areas by Wednesday morning with southerly winds
increasing considerably by Wednesday afternoon to 20-25 kt. The
strongest winds will be focused to the north/closer to the center of
low pressure Wednesday night with 20-30 kt sustained winds possible
in the bay and 25-30 kt offshore. Frequent gusts to 35 kt can be
expected Wednesday night into early Thursday. Accordingly, have
issued a Gale Watch for most of the Ches Bay and northern coastal
waters starting at 1pm Wednesday. Elsewhere, Small Craft Advisories
will certainly be required for the remaining waters as well but
given some lingering uncertainty regarding where the strongest winds
will set up, will hold off on any additional headlines with this
package. After the low crosses the area early Thursday morning,
winds turn NW and N behind the trailing cold front. Guidance
continues to indicate the potential for substantially cooler and
drier air to filter southward on the back side of the system. Thus,
a northerly CAA surge will keep winds 20-25 kt through Thursday
afternoon before slowly weakening into the evening/overnight hours.
Waves will build to 2-4 ft Wednesday afternoon with the potential
for 3-5 ft waves (highest N) in the Ches Bay Wednesday night. 2-4 ft
waves will continue during the northerly surge on Thursday before
falling to 1-3 ft by sunrise on Friday. Offshore, seas will build to
4-6 ft S and 5-8 ft N by early Thursday. Seas will subside along
with the winds on Friday but will take some time to fall below 5 ft.

Much nicer conditions are expected this weekend with high pressure
building into the region.

A Moderate Rip current risk is expected on Wednesday with a High
Risk of rip currents for all beaches on Thursday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 830 PM EDT Tuesday...

Increasing southerly flow up the Ches Bay may result in some minor
flooding issues at Cambridge/Bishops Head MD and Lewisetta VA
with the high tide cycle Wed night. Some additional nuisance
(potentially approaching minor thresholds) flooding in the
middle and lower Bay into Thursday morning.
