AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
235 PM EDT Wed Jul 21 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front cross the area tonight. Cooler and drier air
returns as high pressure builds in from the northwest for the
late week period.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 230 PM EDT Thursday...

Latest wx analysis reveals upper troughing over the interior
northeast dropping E-SE across the northern Mid- Atlantic. Weak
sfc low pressure is centered off the coast of eastern New
England, with the associated sfc cold front extending S-SW from
SE NY into E PA into the central Appalachians. Smoke from the
PC NW continue to trigger reports of diminished VIS in haze
dotted across the region, and have included HZ in grids for the
balance of the aftn.

Svr Watch 385 in effect until 00z for MD in the local area. NW
flow aloft persists through the day, as shortwave trough and
associated surface low track across the northeast CONUS/New
England. These features will drag a cold front across the local
area tonight. CU has begun to develop across NW third of the
area, and based on CAMs, specifically time-lagged HRRR/RAP,
Tstms will continue to drop E-SE (mainly) across areas along
and east of I-95 through around 9-10 PM timeframe before
diurnal weakening occurs (with the most areal coverage expected
from the northern neck/peninsulas over to the Lower Ern Shore).
Will continue to keep PoPs out of the forecast for the far
western tier (US-15) of counties in the VA Piedmont (due to
downslope flow/lower PWs), with 20-50% PoPs from the I-95
corridor toward central/ern portions of the FA.

The main threat with any storms that do form is isolated
damaging wind gusts (given that the environment will be
characterized by dry mid-levels, steep low-level lapse rates,
and mid level flow increasing to 30-40kt out of the NW). Also
concerned for frequent lightning in NW flow this evening. Will
keep slight chc PoPs across SE VA and NE NC for lingering
showers/tstms through 1 AM. Drier with a modest increase in NNW
winds behind the front by sunrise on Thu. Lows tonight range
from the mid 60s N to the low 70s SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 220 PM EDT Wednesday...

Dry/mostly sunny...and markedly drier conditions still look to
be on the way for Thu/Fri, as high pressure settles just to our
W-NW by Thu night, before moving offshore into the day on
Friday. Highs Thu are in the mid-upper 80s for most, and lows
Fri morning are forecasted to fall into the low to mid 60s
(except for upper 60s to ~70F in coastal SE VA/NE NC). Becoming
mostly clear by midday all zones, though some continued
incursions from smoke from PAC NW/western Canada wildfires in
W-NW flow aloft are likely through at least the remainder of the
week (and even into next week).

Remaining dry Friday for most, and removed rain chances with
PWs remaining below climo. However, did keep a slight chance PoP
for a rogue shower or storm across interior NE NC with sfc
trough returning back north a bit into late Friday. Otherwise,
partly to mostly sunny with highs Fri in the mid to upper 80s.

&&

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

West to northwest flow aloft continues over the upcoming
weekend through early next week, as the heat ridge remains
anchored in place across the central/srn Plains. As is typical
at this time of the year, the main synoptic features/frontal
boundaries are progged to remain well to our north. This
pattern likely portends the return of mainly diurnally-driven
late afternoon/evening thunderstorms, as multiple weak
shortwaves embedded in the W-NW flow aloft drift SE across the
region. Went near or below NBM for PoPs during the period for
now, but will still have slight chc to low end chc PoPs (20-40%)
each day from Sat-Tue. Temperatures through the period will
remain fairly seasonable for late July, with highs mainly in the
upper 80s to lower 90s and early morning lows generally in the
upper 60s to ~70.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 120 PM EDT Wednesday...

VFR conditions (w/ SCT-BKN high clouds) are expected to prevail
through the remainder of the morning with SSW or SW winds
around 5-10kt. A cold front will approach from the NW today,
and cross the area this evening through tonight. Expect SCT-BKN
CU to develop by early aftn. Smoke (that will mainly be aloft)
associated with western wildfires will likely make it down to
RIC/SBY today, but it should not result in significant flight
restrictions, though did include HZ for the first few hours of
the TAF period.

Scattered tstms are expected mainly from 20-02z across terminals
in eastern/SE VA and the Lower MD Eastern Shore in advance of
the cold front. Include mention at SBY/PHF, but will hold out
of ORF for now aside from vicinity mention. Brief IFR to LIFR
conditions and gusty winds are likely in any tstm.

OUTLOOK...Any lingering convection dissipates by late this
evening with winds shifting to the NNW at 5-10kt overnight.
VFR/mainly dry conditions expected Thu through midday Sat.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 230 PM EDT Wednesday...

Line of thunderstorms along a cold front is approaching the area
from the northwest this afternoon. Winds across our coastal waters
are SW 5-15 kt ahead of the line of storms. Strong gusty winds will
accompany these thunderstorms, as they move from north to south
this afternoon into this evening. The front is expected to
clear the area by late tonight or early Thursday morning.
Increasing northerly winds 15-20 kt will be preset behind the
cold font tonight. Highest winds will be between midnight and
7am Thursday. SCA conditions are unlikely tonight. Northerly
winds will quickly diminish after sunrise Thursday morning (5-10
kt), then light and variable for the remainder of the week.
Southeasterly flow with winds 10-15 kt is forecasted to return
for the weekend.

Seas will remain 2-3 ft possibly increasing to 4 ft late this
weekend. Waves in the Chesapeake Bay will be around 2 ft tonight,
then around 1 ft Thursday through Friday.
