.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary will settle across the local area from the

along this boundary this evening before moving out into the
Virginia Capes Thursday. The low will intensify as it slowly
moves northeast to a position off the New England coast Friday.
High pressure builds into the area over the weekend.

&&

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

A decent wx afternoon across the local area. Veil of AS crossing
the FA indicative of little convective potential attm. Also...as
expected...dew points remain slow to respond back through the
50s. Area of lgt SHRAs was passing through far nrn/NE locations
right now...w/ only ISOLD shras to the SW. Other than poss
ISOLD convection that may pop up...mainly over far srn/SE VA-NE
NC late this afternoon/early this evening...the bulk of the
rainfall will be along/NNW of weak lo pres tracking E across srn
VA/NC this evening/tonight. There could be ISOLD T and poss
locally heavy rainfall. Lo pres reaches the VA Capes late
tonight. Clouds and SHRAs are expected to linger after midnight.
Lows in the l50s N and NW to the u50s SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 235 PM EDT Wednesday...

Lo pres continues to move away from the coast Thu w/ a trough
approaching/crossing the region from the NW. Clouds and ISOLD-SCT
pcpn are expected to linger into the afternoon before clearing
begins. Highs from the m60s-around 70F.

Lo pres will swirl across New England Thu night into Sat. Other
than VRB clouds over NE portions...dry/cool NW flow and conditions
no worse than partly cloudy are expected. Lows Thu night in the
l-m40s...except u40s right along the immediate coast in SE VA-
NE NC. Highs Fri ranging through the 60s. Lows Fri night in the
l40s inland to mainly in the m-u40s at the coast. A slight
increase in cloudiness is expected by Sat afternoon as a weak
system approaches from the WSW. Still on the cool side...w/
highs in the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 145 PM EDT Wednesday...

Suppressed nearly zonal flow aloft will dominate the pattern
through early next week. MJO fcst to steadily progress
(moderately) through phase 7 during this time period and that
generally signals cooler than normal conditions here in April.
One weak system w/ periods of clouds and poss light pcpn tracks
across the FA late in the weekend/early Mon then another one
possibly brings a CHC of pcpn again Tue or Wed. Generally
followed the blended guidance through the period. Highs mainly
in the 60s- l70s. Lows in the 40s-l50s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

VFR conditions to start off the 18Z/14 TAF forecast period.
BKN-OVC AC/CI will continue to overspread the FA this afternoon
ahead of lo pres approaching from the W. SHRAs will be increasing
in coverage...mainly after 21-22Z/14...even ISOLD-SCT tstms
poss...mainly over srn/SE VA-NE NC. CIGs to lower through MVFR
to IFR this evening/tonight as lo pres and SHRAs track across
the FA. Lo pres will be slow to exit Thu resulting in lingering
clouds and SCT pcpn. IFR CIGs are expected to transition to MVFR
Thu morning and clearing will likely be slow through Thu afternoon.
Hi pres (and VFR conditions) return Fri- Sat.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 320 PM EDT Wednesday...

High pressure remains centered off of the Outer banks and will drift
further offshore through the afternoon and into the evening.
Meanwhile, low pressure over W NC/SW VA will move ENE through the
evening, tracking over the local waters late tonight into early
Thurs morning. A cold front will also approach the local waters from
the NW tonight.

Winds are generally SE 10 to 15 kt with gusts to 20 kts at the mouth
of the Bay. Waves are generally 1 to 2 ft (2 to 3 ft at the mouth of
the Bay) and seas are 3 to 4 ft in the northern waters and 4 ft in
the southern waters. Winds will increase to 15 to 20 kt with gusts
to 25 kt over the middle and southern Bay as well as the southern
coastal waters later this afternoon into this evening. Have started
the SCA from now until 10 PM to account for this. Waves will
increase to 3 to 4 ft and seas will increase to 4 ft. The southern
coastal waters may reach 5 ft early tonight, but confidence is too
low at this time to issue a SCA. In addition a line of strong
showers/thunderstorms will potentially impact portions of the Lower
Bay/James River and the southern coastal waters later this
afternoon/evening bringing the potential for gusty winds in excess
of 34 knots.

Low pressure and the cold front slide offshore later tonight into
Thursday morning with winds becoming NW 5 to 15 kt. Expect sub-SCA
winds from 10 PM tonight through Thursday. Winds increase again (NW
15 to 25 knots) Thursday night into Friday morning behind a
secondary cold front. SCAs will likely be needed for a majority of
the local waters for this surge (due to wind over the Bay and 5 ft
seas over the coastal waters). Elevated seas may linger for the
northern coastal waters into Fri afternoon. Calmer conditions are
expected late Friday into the weekend as weak high pressure builds
across the region.
