AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
740 PM EDT Thu Jul 8 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Cyclone Elsa will track across the area tonight, moving
off the Delaware/Maryland coast Friday morning. A weak cold front
crosses the region Friday afternoon and evening. Weak high pressure
will be over the area Saturday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
As of 400 PM EDT Thursday...
Late this aftn, the center of Tropical Storm Elsa was located
over cntrl NC. The center of the storm will move NE across the
area from this evening through tonight. Elsa moves off the
DE/MD coast by early Fri morning.
Heavy rainfall still appears to be the most significant impact with
this system. The axis of heaviest rain/highest QPF goes from south-
central VA up to the Northern Neck to the MD Eastern Shore. Rainfall
amounts of 2-4" are possible through this corridor with locally
higher amounts up to 5". As a result, a Flash Flood Watch remains
in effect through tonight. In addition to the heavy rainfall,
Tropical Storm Force wind gusts will be possible from this
evening into tonight/early Fri morning for SE and ern portions
of the region. A few tornadoes will be possible E/SE of the
forecast track into tonight, due to forecast 0-1 km SRH values
around 100-200 m2/s2. SPC has SE VA and NE NC in a Day 1 Slight
Risk to account for the tornado potential.
PoPs decrease from SW to NE this evening through tonight, as
Elsa moves off to the NE. Conditions begin to calm as we head
into early Fri morning, though it will remain breezy near the
coast. Lows tonight will range from the upper 60s to mid 70s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 400 PM EDT Thursday...
TS Elsa quickly tracks NE and away from the area Fri morning
into Fri aftn. However, sctd showers and tstms will re-develop
in the Piedmont late Fri aftn, and move across the region from
WNW to ESE into early Fri night, in advance of a weak cold
front. Highs on Fri will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Drying out Fri night into Sat morning. Lows Fri night will
range from the mid to upper 60s inland to the lower to mid 70s
closer to the coast. Weak high pressure builds over the area
for Sat leading to mainly dry conditions, though a stray shower
or storm cannot be ruled out (especially NE NC) during the
aftn/evening hours. Highs on Sat will be in the mid to upper
80s with lows Sat night in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
A warm frontal boundary will linger near or just north of the
extrm nrn counties during Sun, along with a lee side trough
setting up over the Piedmont. Combined with a very warm and
humid airmass in place, sctd showers and tstms will be possible
Sun aftn into Sun evening. Highs on Sun in the mid 80s to around
90.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 240 PM EDT Thursday...
The extended will largely be dominated by typical diurnal summer
weather with thunderstorms possible in the afternoon and highs in
the lower to mid 90s and lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s. An
upper low will close off over the Mid Miss Valley Monday into
Tuesday. Meanwhile, a Bermuda high lingers offshore, allowing for
seasonally warm air and dewpoints in the lower to mid 70s. A series
of shortwaves will pass through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley from
mid week through the weekend. Given the high to the SE and the
shortwaves to the NW, there will be daily opportunities for
showers/storms, particularly in the piedmont with any lee trough
that forms.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 740 PM EDT Thursday...
Widespread MVFR CIGS with lcl IFR CIGS/VSBYS in lclly hvy rainfall
for the next several hrs as TC Elsa tracks ne across the area. Took
out thunder due to vry few if any ltg strikes over the past several
hrs. Gusty E wind shift to the WSW behind the storm. Improving
conditions later tonite and Fri morning as the systm pulls away
from the local area. A cold front apprchs from the NW Fri aftrn.
Sct tstms are psbl, but just went with a BKN CU field for now.
OUTLOOK...
VFR conditions outside of diurnal convection over the weekend.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 330 PM EDT Thursday...
Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the entire marine area,
including the Bay from Smith Point to Cape Henry, the James
River, the Currituck Sound, the Rappahannock River, the York
River, and the coastal waters from Duck, NC to Fenwick Island
DE.
Tropical Storm Elsa is tracking NE over central NC this
afternoon, but is beginning to appear less tropical. A S wind
gusted to 25-30kt earlier associated with a band of convection,
but has diminished to 10-15kt, with the direction shifting to SE
over the southern portion of the marine area. Seas are 2-3ft,
with 1-2ft waves in the Bay.
The wind and then seas/waves will increase quickly late this
afternoon into the evening as Elsa tracks NE through central VA.
The highest winds are forecast to cover the coastal waters and
the lower Bay during the evening (also into the early overnight
hours off the coast N of Chincoteague), with SE winds up to
30-35kt offshore/25-30kt into the Bay with higher gusts to 45 kt
affecting the coastal waters and gusts of 35-40kt into the Bay.
The rivers and upper Bay are a little more uncertain, generally
sustained winds to around 25kt with gusts to 35kt are expected.
The winds will only be that strong for about 2hrs at any given
location as the circulation pushes into the region and allows
speeds to diminish. Expect seas to rapidly build from 3-4 ft to
6-8 ft with the wind surge (up to 9 ft out at 20NM offshore).
Waves in the Bay will build from around 2 ft to 3-5ft (possibly
to 6 ft briefly at the mouth of the Bay) while waves in the
rivers build to 2-3 ft (up to 4 ft at the mouth of the James).
Elsa is forecast to move across the Bay between 03-06Z, then
pass off the Delmarva coast between 06-09Z. The wind will shift
to the W/SW in the wake of the system and will briefly increase
back to 20-30kt with gusts to 40 kt possible (potentially
higher offshore of the eastern shore). Nearshore waves of 8ft
look unlikely and if they do occur should be short-lived so
will not be raising and High Surf Advisory Headlines at this
time. Follow the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane
Center for details on Elsa. Conditions rapidly improve towards
daybreak Friday, though seas will be slow to subside,
especially across the north where they likely remain at or above
5 ft into Fri aftn.
More benign conditions are expected later Friday into next weekend
with high pressure offshore and a weak trough over the region. A
weakening cold front is expected to shift the winds to a northerly
direction on Saturday (briefly 10-15kt early Saturday morning)
with the front washing out Saturday night/Sunday. A typical
summer pattern follows early next week w/ SSW winds shifting to
S or SSE diurnally in the late aftn/evening averaging 10-15kt.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 330 PM EDT Thursday...
A moderate risk rip will continue tomorrow at this time for the
southern beaches given an offshore wind and diminishing seas.
For the northern beaches, the rip risk will be high given that
seas will be slower to subside and there could be some lingering
swell energy as Elsa lifts NE of the region.
As for tidal flooding associated with Elsa by this evening
into early Friday morning, the quick moving nature of the
system will generally keep departures from rising too much. The
inland track and a stronger surge of SSE wind all the way up
the Bay will increase the potential for mainly minor tidal
flooding along the middle Bay and southern shore of the lower
tidal Potomac. However, the current conditions across the Bay
have very low levels so a significant rise will be needed to
reach any flooding thresholds. The latest ETSS/PETSS guidance
continues to downplay much if any surge for this area. However,
the latest CBOFs continues to show rises into the mid/upper Bay
by tonight to near minor thresholds, and the ETSS/PETSS tends to
be too low in the middle Bay in these situations. Given this, a
Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for the Bay-side of the
lower Maryland Eastern Shore. Otherwise, still forecasting
departures up to 1 foot above normal for areas of the Northern
Neck adjacent to the Potomac and Bay, and Accomack County
adjacent to the Bay. Will need to monitor trends closely over
the next 12 hrs as the prevailing wind direction will have some
impact on this. PETSS/ETSS are actually showing somewhat of a
blow-out tide over the lower Bay when the wind shifts to W/SW
overnight into early Friday morning, and some areas could
approach -1ft MLLW. Perhaps the best chance for flooding with
this event will be into NC zones along the northern shore of the
Albemarle Sound and perhaps the Currituck Sound and into Back
Bay (though confidence remains low at this time).
