AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
434 PM EDT Wed Aug 11 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will remain anchored off the Mid Atlantic coast
this week, resulting in typical summer conditions. A cold front
will approach from the northwest Friday night, then slowly drop
across the area during the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
As of 235 PM EDT Wednesday...

Severe Tstm Watch is in effect for central and south central VA
until 900 pm this evening. As of 220 pm, radar showed sctd
showers/tstms developing over and just east of the mtns (due to
development of lee trough), and sliding slowly ewrd into the
Piedmont. Lots of heat/instability across the region, with temps
ranging from the upper 80s to mid 90s and dewpoints ranging
through the 70s. These showers/storms will move ewrd to along or
just east of I-95 before diminishing this aftn into this
evening. Damaging wind gusts will be the main threat with any
severe storms, due to MLCAPE rising to 2000-3000 J/kg and DCAPE
near 1200 J/kg. Brief heavy rain and small hail will also be
possible with any storms. Any lingering showers/storms will
quickly lose strength and end by late this evening. Then, mostly
clear to partly cloudy overnight with lows ranging through the
70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 415 PM EDT Wednesday...

The upper ridge noses westward on Thu, which will serve to
increase the heat and decrease the chances for showers and
storms. Will show only slight chance PoPs across the west
Thu aftn. High temps will climb into the mid 90s for most of
the region with dew points mostly in the mid 70s, resulting in
more widespread aftn heat indices 105-108 F. Accordingly,
another Heat Advisory has been issued for just about the entire
CWA, with only Lunenburg/Mecklenburg counties, and right along
the coast not in the Heat Advisory. Slight chance PoPs in the
WNW Thu evening, otherwise warm and muggy again Thu night with
lows ranging through the 70s.

Bit of a broken record for Fri with slight chance to chance
PoPs (15-40%) for the western half of the area. Highs in the
lower to mid 90s with dew points continuing in the lower to mid
70s, will result in another day of dangerous heat indices in
the 102-107 F range. Warm and muggy conditions continue Fri
night with lows in the lower to mid 70s.

Cold front will drop down through most of the area during Sat.
Not as hot on Sat, but there is high chance to likely PoPs for
aftn/evening showers and tstms. Highs in the upper 80s to lower
90s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 415 PM EDT Wednesday...

Although cooler temps are expected across the area in the
extended period, the weather pattern will be quite unsettled as
the frontal boundary will be laying near or just south of the
VA/NC border. Chances for showers and storms will linger with
the boundary close by and increasing tropical moisture streaming
northward from the Gulf and Atlc.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Wednesday...

Mainly VFR conditions will prevail at the TAF sites this aftn
into Thu aftn. Brief MVFR conditions will be possible at RIC
early this evening with any tstm. Have VCTS mentioned in the TAF
for now. Also, do have VCSH mentioned in the SBY TAF this
evening. Otherwise, winds will be SSW around 10 kt or less
through the period.

Outlook...
Mostly VFR conditions and only isolated to sctd late aftn/evening
showers/tstms through the remainder of this week. Highest chances
remain along and west of the I-95 corridor.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 245 PM EDT Wednesday...

Typical summertime pattern, with the Bermuda High anchored in the
western Atlantic Ocean, will continue through Saturday. Winds will
generally remain SSW 5-15 kt. Waves in the Bay will be 1-2 ft and
seas 2-3 ft. A weak cold front is expected to stall across eastern
NC by Sunday into early next week, allowing winds to become onshore
(easterly) across the local waters. Wind speeds 10-15 kt with waves
in the Bay of 1-3 ft and seas 2-4 ft.
