Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 11:26 AM EST, 8 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wakefield VA 1126 AM EST Thu Dec 23 2021 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will build across the Mid-Atlantic today, before sliding off the coast tonight and Friday. A warm front will north of the area Friday night into Christmas morning. A dry cold front crosses the region Sunday morning. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 1120 AM EST Thursday... Late this morning, sfc high pressure was centered right over the area. Under a sunny sky, temps ranged from the upper 30s to mid 40s. The center of the sfc high will build to the coast this aftn. Sunny, with high temps ranging from the lower 40s NE to the upper 40s S and SW. The airmass will be quite dry with aftn dewpoints in the mid teens to lower 20s. The high slides offshore tonight, and there is a subtle warm front that clips the NE portion of the area tonight. Mostly clear conditions this evening along with the dry airmass and a calm to very light wind should allow temps to drop quickly this evening. Overnight lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s will likely be achieved by late evening, with temps becoming steady, and even rising a few degrees later tonight as clouds increase with WAA aloft. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 350 AM EST Thursday... High pressure slides farther offshore Friday into Christmas Day as an upper ridge builds across the Ohio Valley. Partly sunny, and potentially becoming mostly cloudy N by afternoon as another subtle warm front approaches from the WSW. High temperatures Friday range from the mid 50s to near 60F. The warm front slides across the northern tier of the area Friday night into early Christmas morning. Partly to mostly cloudy Friday night with low temperatures in the lower to mid 40s. Partly sunny (mostly cloudy north in the morning) Christmas Day and very mild with high temperatures in the upper 50s to mid 60s (upper 60s possible S). && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 350 AM EST Thursday... A dry cold front will cross the area Sunday morning, followed by high pressure and dry weather for Sunday into early Monday morning. Another warm front will lift across the area Monday followed by a weak cold front Monday into Tuesday, which could bring a slight chance for rain showers. This front lifts back north as a warm front Tuesday night into Wednesday. The rain potential still looks minimal, so PoPs are no higher than 20% at this time. Highs will be in the upper 50s to upper 60s Sunday, in the mid 50s to mid 60s Monday, and in the upper 50s to upper 60s Tuesday and Wednesday (low 70s possible SE Wednesday). Lows will be in the mid 40s to lower 50s Sunday morning, in the mid/upper 30s to mid 40s Monday morning, in the 40s to around 50 Tuesday morning, and in the lower 40s to lower 50s Wednesday morning. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 645 AM EST Thursday... High pressure is building in from the west as of 12z, and this area of high pressure will pass across the region today, and begin to nudge offshore tonight. This will bring dry and VFR conditions under a clear/sunny sky, followed by increasing clouds tonight as the high moves offshore. A N wind of 8-12kt this morning at ORF/ECG will become NE this afternoon, with a 5-10kt NW wind at SBY late morning into early afternoon, becoming light and variable later in the afternoon, and generally light and variable at RIC/PHF today. All sites are expected to have a 5-8kt SSW wind by tonight. High pressure shifts farther offshore Friday through Christmas Day, with mainly dry and VFR conditions expected along with a SW wind. A weak and dry cold front crosses the area late Saturday night into Sunday morning. High pressure builds over the area Sunday night and slides offshore Monday. && .MARINE... As of 330 AM EST Thursday... Early this morning, high pressure is building across the waters from the west. Pressure gradient between the building high and low pressure over Nova Scotia is allowing for N winds to remain elevated to around 15 to 25 knots. Winds will continue to diminish this morning as high pressure becomes centered over the waters. SCAs should be allowed to expire by mid-morning outside of the southern coastal waters where 5+ foot seas may linger into the afternoon. Sub-SCA conditions are expected by this afternoon as high pressure becomes centered over the region. Tonight, a warm front lifts north of the waters leading to a pretty decent S to SW surge. As a result, another round of SCAs will likely be needed later tonight into Friday as winds increase to 15 to 25 knots and seas build back to 4 to 5 feet. Winds briefly diminish Friday afternoon before another S to SW surge of wind Friday night into Saturday (leading to more SCAs). A cold front pushes through the area Saturday night into Sunday with gusty W to NW winds in its wake and possibly yet another round of SCAs. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None.
