AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
334 PM EDT Fri Aug 13 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure centered just offshore the Carolina coast will
slide east as a cold front approaches Saturday afternoon. The
frontal boundary will slowly cross the area Saturday then linger
near the Virginia North Carolina border into the middle of next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
As of 330 PM EDT Friday...

Heat Advisory remain in effect today through 7pm. Heat index
values were generally between 105 and 110 degrees this
afternoon with a few spots in the southeast just over 110.
Thunderstorms over the mountains and piedmont should slowly push
east into portions of central VA. Question is how much
thunderstorm coverage we will see in Central VA. High res
guidance has backed off some compard to earlier this morning,
but most guidance suggests scattered storms pushing east into
Central VA through 7 to 8 pm. Given MLCAPE of 2500-3000 j/kg
and decent DCAPE, any storms which develop could produce strong
to damaging downbursts. Again the question will be how much
coverage we see between now and 8 pm.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 PM EDT Friday...

A slow moving cold front will be move south across Maryland and
Virginia Saturday. The front will be slow and not move into
central and southeast VA until late the afternoon / early
evening. This means that another hot and humid day for Saturday
for Richmond and points south and east to NC and the coast.
Heat Index values will peak out near 105 on Saturday, but it
looks as though there will be a little more cloud cover in the
afternoon. While we do expect some locations to just touch a
heat index of 105 for an hour or so, will hold off on any new
Heat Advisories for Saturday. High temps warm into the lower 90s
with dew points in the upper 70s to around 80, so again one
more hot day across central and southeast VA as well as
northeast NC though not nearly as hot as today.

The cold front will move into area north of Richmond and the MD
Eastern Shore early in the afternoon with a chance of showers
and thunderstorms spreading from the northwest to southeast
gradually through the afternoon and into the evening. In areas
north and west of Richmond and across MD, dewpoints will be
slightly lower with temperatures topping out around 90.

The cold front will eventually move south into central/southern
VA late Saturday afternoon into early evening. The front will
slow the farther south it moves. Showers and thunderstorms will
accompany the front. PWAT values will be 2.00"-2.25" at this
time. WPC has place most of our Virginia counties in a slight
risk for excessive rainfall. Heavy rain will be the main threat
with these storms which could be slow moving and train over some
of the same locations. Localized flooding is possible Saturday
afternoon into Saturday night. SPC has also placed the entire
area in a Marginal Risk for severe storm due to heating and the
potential for strong storms to produce damaging downbursts.

The cold front will stall near the VA/NC border Sunday morning.
It loos like there will be a bit of a break in the widespread
rain Sunday morning with some scattered showers ongoing. Shower
coverage increase through the afternoon with a threat for heavy
rain continuing for portions of VA and NC. Pops Sunday will be
lower across the north, farther from the front. High
temperatures Sunday will be much cooler with highs in upper 70s
to low 80s. Overnight low temperatures will remain around 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Friday...

Continued rather unsettled into next week. We will continue to
see an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms through
Wednesday. Sfc high pressure is expected to be centered across
New England for much of next week. At the same time, a ridge
aloft will be building off the southeast coast of the U.S. This
will allow for a continuous flow of tropical moisture from the
Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. In addition, moisture from
Tropical Cyclone Fred may reach the region next week. Pops will
be between 40% and 70% mainly in the afternoons and evenings.
High temperatures will be much cooler, in the low to mid 80. Low
temperatures will be around 70.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Friday...

VFR conditions continue for this afternoon and evening with sct
cu around 5 kft. Scattered showers and storms will try and push
east to near RIC (and perhaps even SBY) late this evening and
will have to watch to see how well the storms hold together.
Storms which develop will produce strong gusty winds in excess
of 25 kt along with heavy rain reducing vsby to less than 1
mile in downpours. Again question will be how many storms make
it all the way to RIC and perhaps even SBY. Showers and storms
will be the primary concerns at RIC and SBY this evening with
generally VFR conditions expected mostly locations overnight and
into early Saturday.

Outlook... Chances for showers/tstms increase across the entire
area Saturday afternoon and evening as slow moving cold front
drops south. The front will likely staff near the NC/VA border
resulting in a prolonged period of MVFR conditions from late
Saturday through the weekend and into early next week. Periods
of MVFR ceiling and showers/storms will persist Monday and
Tuesday as tropical moisture streams north into the area.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 245 PM EDT Friday...

Afternoon wx analysis shows a weak sfc trough to the west of the
waters and an approaching cold front over the Great Lakes. High
pressure remains over the wrn Atlantic (well offshore of the local
area). Winds are generally S-SW 5-10 kt, with some local sea
breeze component as well. Wave heights are ~1 ft, with seas of
~2 ft. Expect a nocturnal increase in S-SW winds (to ~15 kt)
tonight (similar to last night) before winds diminish to 5-10 kt
during the day on Saturday.

Sub-SCA conditions are expected to prevail for the remainder of the
weekend into early next week. The aforementioned cold front drops
across the waters from N to S late Sat night through Sunday (but may
stall across NE NC late Sunday). Expect some sea breeze component to
the wind over the waters late Sat afternoon into the evening. Winds
turn to the NE following the FROPA Sat night-Sunday, with the
highest speeds (10-15 kt) expected north of New Pt Comfort/Cape
Charles, with speeds remaining no higher than 10-12 kt across the
Lower Bay/srn coastal waters. Winds remain onshore into early next
week, as the weakening cold front stalls across NE NC or just south
of the region and washes out. Winds become S-SE by midweek,
remaining sub-SCA throughout the period. Seas will generally be
2-3 ft through early next week...with 1-2 ft waves on the bay.

Low rip risk for area beaches Sat/Sun.
