AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
254 PM EDT Mon Jul 26 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front crosses most of the area later today,
resulting in scattered to numerous thunderstorms from this
afternoon through this evening. The front stalls across the
Carolinas on Tuesday as weak high pressure builds north of the
region. a stronger cold front is expected to cross the region
late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
As of 200 PM EDT Monday...

A Severe Tstm Watch has been issued for much of the interior of
VA through 8pm (including all of metro RIC). Effective shear
values are still marginal at ~25kt, but given a high coverage
of storms through the remainder of the aftn and impressive
instability parameters (ML CAPE averaging 2000-2500 J/Kg) the
overall thinking is that at least some wet microbursts
containing strong to damaging wind gusts.

The latest wx analysis shows upper ridging centered over the
srn Plains, with WNW-NW flow aloft continuing over the local
area. An elongated shortwave can be seen on WV satellite
imagery in the flow aloft moving ESE through the OH Valley. This
feature will continue to gradually push to the ESE later this
aftn into the evening. At the surface, a cold front remains to
our N and NW but is rather weak and is expected to remain weak
as it drops through much the region this evening. The primary
trigger for precip this aftn is more from daytime heating and a
weak sfc trough rather than the actual front.

While the significantly slower and less organized reflectivity
regime depicted by the HRRR since last night is still not
completely favored, some of the remaining guidance has also
trended slower and a bit to the N with the best lift and
moisture pooling later today. Have scaled back on the arrival of
likely PoPs by 1-2 hrs (especially over the far S/SE). Expect
the greatest chance for tstm activity to be from 3pm through the
early evening into the central portions of the CWA, and very
late aftn through evening in the far S/SE. The sever threat is
somewhat limited but given strong winds above 300mb, a marginal
severe threat for strong/damaging winds remains with the tallest
storms later this aftn/early evening. Will keep the Flash Flood
Watch unchanged, but the heavier amounts may end up being
somewhat more spotty as the latest 12Z/HREF probs for 3"/3hr is
now below 30% for the duration of the event. Again, the greatest
threat for flash flooding appears to be in our urban/suburban
areas. The latest deterministic QPF forecast through 12z Tue has
in excess of 1.00" over SE VA/NE NC tapered to ~0.10-0.25" over
the far N. Locally higher amounts in excess of 3" are likely.
Warm and very humid with highs in the upper 80s to around 90F
(locally lower 90s) with dew pts in the lower- mid 70s

Most of the pcpn is progged to move SE of the area by late this
evening with lingering slight chc-chc PoPs through much of the
night across SE VA/NE NC. Dry wx is expected after 03z/11 PM for
most areas. Lows fall into the upper 60s-low 70s tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 340 AM EDT Monday...

The aforementioned weak front stalls/washes out across NC on
Tue. Will keep high chc PoPs across the south Tue aftn, with a
slight chc of aftn tstms into most of central/E-central VA. WPC
has a MRGL Risk for Excessive Rainfall across extreme SE
portions of the FA on Tuesday, but that will depend on how much
rain actually falls across NE NC today-tonight. Highs in the
upper 80s to lower 90s. With NW flow aloft on Wed, the models to
varying degrees have some additional chances for mainly
afternoon/evening tstms despite somewhat drier air across the
region. Will maintain slight chance PoPs from 18z Wed-00z Thu
with highs into the lower (to locally mid) 90s inland and upper
80s/low 90s at the coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 340 AM EDT Monday...

The later portion of this week into next weekend will continue
to feature a W-NW flow aloft as an upper level ridge remains
entrenched from the central/southern Plains to the
intermountain west, while a series of upper troughs move ESE
from north central Canada to the NE CONUS. Wed night/Thu looks
to be a bit warmer than normal out ahead of an approaching cold
front, with lows in the low-mid 70s followed by highs Thu in
the lower to mid 90s with moderate levels of humidity. Dry wx is
expected to prevail for most of Thursday, before shower/tstm
chances increase late in the day (with the highest rain
chances...which are 20-30% mainly across the
north/east...holding off until Thu evening-Thu night).
Additional showers/tstms are possible Fri (mainly S and during
the aftn/evening) as the front is slow to move south of the CWA.
Somewhat drier and cooler conditions are expected into next
weekend with highs in the 80s to around 90F and lows in the 60s
to lower 70s as high pressure centered across the Great Lakes/OH
Valley builds SE into the local area.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Monday...

Scattered tstms developing across the northern portions of the
VA zones, and expect the coverage to increase through the next
few hrs. Have included 2-hr TEMPO groups for tstms with IFR
VSBYs at RIC/PHF/ORF during the 21-01Z period (earliest at
RIC/latest at ORF). Gusty winds possible in the stronger
storms. Have maintained VCTS wording at ECG, with VCSH at SBY
(where PoPs are only 30-40%). Showers/tstms exit from NW-SE from
00-06z, and VFR conditions return to the terminals tonight
(outside of a low chc of patchy fog late). A minority of the
guidance keeps isolated-scattered showers (and a few tstms)
around ORF/ECG after 06z tonight. Did not reflect this potential
solution in the TAFs attm.

Outlook...Mainly VFR conditions Tuesday with isolated to widely
scattered showers and tstms potentially bringing brief degraded
flight conditions in the afternoon and evening (mainly for ECG).
The chc for afternoon and evening showers and tstms is 20% or
less by Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 255 PM EDT Monday...

Winds are expected to remain sub-SCA for the next week outside of
convection. A weak pressure gradient remains over the local waters
this afternoon between a cold front to the NW and a weak low off the
FL/GA coastline. SW/SSW winds 10-15 kt continue into the evening
before becoming SW 5-10 kt tonight through early Tues morning. A
weak cold front drops south late tonight through Tues morning before
become stalled/washed out near the VA/NC border. In response, winds
become W Tues morning. However, due to the weak nature of the front,
winds shift to SE Tues afternoon before becoming SW Tues night.
Another cold front moves south over the local waters Wed morning
with a shift to NW Wed morning, E early Wed afternoon, and SE late
Wed. Winds remain S/SSE Thurs, potentially increasing to 10-15 kt in
the southern Ches Bay and coastal waters late Thurs ahead of another
cold front pushing through early Fri.

Seas of 2-3 ft and waves of 1-2 ft continue through late week. By
late Thurs night, seas of 3-4 ft and waves of 2-3 ft will be briefly
possible.
