What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at May 6, 7:53 PM EDT, 6 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 6, 7:53 PM EDT, 6 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wakefield VA 753 PM EDT Thu May 6 2021 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure shifts offshore later this evening and tonight. An area of low pressure brings increased clouds and showers Friday into Friday night. Dry weather returns for Saturday. Another disturbance approaches the region early next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... As of 750 PM EDT Thursday... High pressure shifts offshore this evening and tonight with weak SE flow developing as this occurs. Weak low pressure develops offshore and well south of the region tonight while a shortwave approaches the area from the west. As a result, clouds will be on the increase as we head through the overnight hours. A few rain showers will be possible across the far SW as we head closer to daybreak Friday morning. Low temperatures tonight will generally range from the mid 40s/upper 40s to the lower 50s near the coast. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 250 PM EDT Thursday... The combination of the upper trough pivoting across the region and weak sfc low pressure developing along/just off the NC coast will result in a mostly cloudy sky with showers developing. PoPs ramp up across much of the area by late Friday morning into Friday afternoon. Latest CAMs show some heavier showers or thunderstorms developing and spreading from west to east through the afternoon and early evening hours Friday. Not expecting any severe weather, but would not be shocked to see some gusty winds and perhaps some small hail Friday afternoon as the upper level trough pivots across the area. QPF on the order of a quarter to half an inch, but the potential is there for locally higher amounts depending on where the heavier showers set up. Rain tapers off Friday night into Saturday morning (potentially lingering into early Saturday afternoon across the far NE). Highs will mainly be in the lower to mid 60s (upper 60s SE) on Friday, with lows Fri night ranging through the 40s to around 50. Weak sfc high pressure will rebuild over the se coast for Saturday, as sfc low lifts ne offshore of the New England coast. This will yield a mostly sunny, breezy and pleasant day on Saturday, with high temps ranging from the mid 60s to near 70 (low to mid 60s across the Eastern Shore). Sfc low pressure slides from the middle MS valley toward the Ohio valley on Sunday, allowing weak warm front to lift toward the local area. A weak upper disturbance will move east along the front, and could bring some sct showers to the northern half of the local area Sunday afternoon into Sun evening. Slightly warmer Sunday as the flow becomes southerly across the region. Highs will range from the upper 60s north to around 80 south. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 250 PM EDT Thursday... Low pressure and its associated cold front approach/push across the region during the day on Monday. Maintained chance PoPs for showers through the period with the possibility for some thunderstorms (especially SE) Monday afternoon/evening. Highs on Monday will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s. Dry weather expected for late Mon night into Tue night, as high pressure builds in from the N-NW. Still looking at the potential for an unsettled period as we head into Wednesday and beyond as low pressure tracks across the deep south and then eventually near/along the East Coast. Temperatures will remain below average Monday through Thursday with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 750 PM EDT Thursday... VFR flying weather is expected to dominate the 00z TAF period but increasing chances for showers from late morning through the evening could offer some localized flight restrictions. Winds generally light and variable overnight become southeast/south into the afternoon ahead of the approaching cold front. Flow turns west and northwest behind the front late in the period. Outlook: Conditions improve Friday night into Saturday. High pressure builds across the area Saturday and slides offshore Sunday. Another cold front potentially moves across the area Sunday night into Monday. && .MARINE... As of 400 PM EDT Thursday... High pressure is centered over the region this afternoon. A light northerly to northeasterly flow (5-10 kt) is present this afternoon. An area of low pressure is forecasted to form over central VA Friday morning. As the low pressure deepens tomorrow, winds will become SE 10-15 kt. Winds may funnel over the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and be slightly stronger over the southern bay with gusts near 20 kt in the afternoon. This low pressure will track east towards the Chesapeake Bay, bring scattered showers and an isolated thunderstorm. Localized strong and gusty winds are possible as showers/storms move across the bay and offshore Friday afternoon. As the low pressure moves off the coast, winds will become NW 15-20 kt Friday night. Confidence is low on whether winds will reach to SCA levels, therefore, decided to hold off on issuing a SCA now. NW winds will be around 20 kt Saturday as a low pressure track north of the region. SCAs are possible at this time. High pressure will become centered over the area Saturday night with winds becoming light and variable. High pressure will quickly move off the coast Sunday morning with southerly winds 10-20 kt Sunday into Sunday night. Waves in the bay will be 2-3 ft during periods of increased winds, and seas will be 3-5 ft. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. NC...None. VA...None.
