AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
339 PM EDT Thu Jul 29 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will track by north of the local area tonight to be
followed by its trailing cold front during Fri. The front stalls
across the Carolinas by Saturday. Low pressure moves east along
the front Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
As of 330 PM EDT Thursday...

Not quite sure how the convective scenario evolves this evening
given the continued conflicting model guidance. Warm front now N
of the FA...and weak lo pres is expected to move E across far
nrn VA and MD. WNW flow aloft can be a signal for strong/svr
convection. Certainly there is available heat/moisture
available here but the best svr wx parameters may be just N of
the FA. Svr watch now out for the lower MD ern shore through
01Z/30...and if necessary can be expanded S to include VA
counties. Tail of mid level S/W now exiting the higher terrain
NW of the FA. Highest confidence for ISOLD/SCT tstms right now
is mainly N of a WAL-XSA-LKU line through mid/late evening.
Wouldn't rule out ISOLD stms popping up further S...for now
keeping PoPs AOB 15% across srn/SE VA-NE NC. Any lingering pcpn
likely to dissipate after midnight/by late tonight as a cold
front enters the far NNW areas. Lows 70-75F.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 310 PM EDT Thursday...

The cold front progresses into/through srn/SE portions of the
FA Fri. Right now...SPC has MRGL along/S of the Albemarle
Sound...still will carry 20-30% far srn/SE VA across NE NC
before the frontal passage. Will be another hot/humid day (heat
indices topping out around 100F one last day in this stretch)
across srn/SE VA and NE NC (pre-frontal passage) while
drying/lowering dew points occurs over central/nrn portions.
Highs in the u80s-l90s.

Any lingering SHRAs/tstms Fri evening likely to diminish/end early.
Period of NNE winds (gusty at the coast) and cold/dry air advection
Fri night into Sat ends the recent period of high humidity heading
into the weekend. Low Fri night in the l60s N to around 70F far SE.

The front stalls across the Carolinas by Sat. Expecting mostly
sunny conditions N and partly sunny S and very comfy for the
last day of July. Highs in the l80s...u70s right along the
coast/beaches.

This time of year...hard to keep the dry/cooler wx here. Hi pres
shifts off the SE coast of New England Sat night leading to a
quick return of moisture from the SSW. A series of lo pres
systems forecast to moves along the stalled front (across NC).
Increasing PoPs to 50-70% (mainly SHRAs) for late Sat night
into Sun afternoon along w/ widespread clouds. Lows Sat night
mainly in the m-u60s. Highs Sun in the 70s to l80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 100 PM EDT Thursday...

Unsettled wx conditions expected early/mid next week as trough aloft
amplifies through Great Lakes and OH/TN Valleys. Initially a frontal
boundary is forecast to push just offshore Sun night/Mon then due
to the trough digging in to the W of the FA...the front would likely
back WNW into the local area through mid week. The overall pattern
setting up is fairly typical for mid Summer (and fits an MJO forecast
of a transition from phase 6 to phases 8 and 1 - favoring BLO normal
temps and near-ABV normal pcpn) and usually leads to a few/several
days of high potential for SHRAs/tstms and psbl heavy rainfall.
Have capped PoPs at 50% through the period.

Nighttime lows through the period mainly from the m60s to around
70F. Highs Mon 80-85F. Highs Tue in the l80s. Highs Wed and Thu
in the l-m80s.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 1245 PM EDT Thursday...

VFR conditions expected for the majority of the 18Z/29 TAF forecast
period. Convection is expected develop by late this afternoon
(after 19-21Z/29) w/ the highest prob being at SBY and RIC
through this evening. Local MVFR/IFR in heavy rain along w/
gusty winds due to any stms. SSW winds mainly BLO 10 kt.
ISOLD/SCT convection expected to wane overnight as a cold front
enters the FA from the NW. Additional stms are psbl Fri afternoon
across SE VA-NE NC as that cold front pushes SE...OTW VFR.

Generally VFR Fri night/Sat though NNE winds become gusty near
the coast. Lo pres tracking across NC Sun may result in IFR/MVFR
conditions and psbl SHRAs.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 320 PM EDT Thursday...

A cold front moves over the local waters late tonight into Friday.
Ahead of the front, winds are S/SW 10-15 kt, becoming SW 15-20 kt
late this evening into tonight. A Small Craft Advisory remains in
effect for the Chesapeake Bay, Lower James, and Currituck Sound from
8 PM through most of the night. As the cold front moves through late
tonight through Fri morning, winds shift to NW/N 10-15 kt, remaining
N 10-15 kt through Fri night. Winds may approach SCA criteria with
the CAA surge late Fri night into early Sat, but for now, expect
winds to remain around 15 kt. Winds switch from NE 5-10 kt to SE Sat
into Sat night, remaining SE 10-15 kt through Sun. Another cold
front comes through Sun night with winds shifting back to N Mon.

Waves of 1-2 ft and seas of 2-3 ft build to 2-3 ft and 3-4 ft
respectively overnight before subsiding back to 1-2 ft and 2-3 ft by
Fri afternoon through early next week. Seas may approach or briefly
touch 5 ft tonight, but confidence is too low to issue a SCA at this
time.

Moderate rips expected Sat.
