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 20, 1:53 PM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 20, 1:53 PM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
153 PM EDT Thu May 20 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak but dry frontal boundary will push inland from the coast
today then slowly dissipate over the area Friday. Otherwise, high
pressure dominates the local area through the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 150 PM EDT Thursday...

Temps as of 1:50 PM were generally in the mid to upper 80s
inland, upper 70s to around 80F near the coast, and upper 60s to
mid 70s along the Atlantic coast of the Eastern Shore. Latest
MSAS has a 1031 mb high over SW VA with anther area of high
pressure over northern New England. In between, a weak but dry
frontal boundary has moved onshore over the Eastern Shore.
Models take the high over Va and begin to slightly retrograde it
to the wsw this afternoon while the high over New England
remains nearly stationary. This minor change in synoptic
features will allow the frontal boundary to push inland today,
possibly making it to the I95 corridor later this afternoon.
With no significant weather, this boundary will basically act
like a stronger than average sea breeze boundary as it pushes
inland. Thus, it will be a temp forecast with much cooler
readings along the coast due to the onshore wind flow as water
temps are between 60-65.

Expect a contrast of two seasons today with summer like readings in
the upper 80s inland, lower 80s invof the Ches Bay and over
inland portions of the Eastern Shore, and lower 70s at the
Atlantic beaches of the Eastern Shore. Light/variable winds
over the Piedmont with easterly winds along the coast at 10-15
mph.

Mostly clr tonight with the frontal boundary beginning to wash
out across the Piedmont late. There could be some patchy fog
development given the light onshore flow, but will hold off
attm since guidance is not that bullish on any widespread fog
development. Lows in the 50s.

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 300 AM EDT Thursday...

The frontal bndry washes out across the area Fri but conts to leave
a lgt onshore wind flow across the area. Thus, despite a mstly sunny
day, temps will be somewhat cooler than today. Highs Fri low-mid 80s
across the Piedmont, low-mid 70s ivof the Ches Bay and 65 to 70 at
the beaches. Fair to pt cldy Fri night as the winds become more
SSW. Lows 55-60.

High pres remains in control Sat. However, there conts to be some
model disagreement in whether any convection in the NW flow is able
to hold together as it pushes ESE into the overhead ridge. Both the
GFS and Canadian show some moisture holding together across the Va
nrn neck and ern shore while the NAM and ECMWF not as bullish. Thus,
given the uncertainty, will carry isltd late aftrn/eve PoPs across
the ne for now. Heating back up with highs Sat mid-upr 80s away from
the water, arnd 80 near the water. Lows Sat night low-mid 60s.
Atlantic side beaches of the Eastern Shore will likely hit their
highs this morning as strengthening easterly flow will keep
afternoon temps in the upper 60s.

Mstly sunny/hot/dry Sunday due to rather deep NW flow. Highs lwr 90s
away from the water, mid-upr 80s near the water.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 300 AM EDT Thursday...

The frontal boundary washes out across the area Fri but
continues to leave a light onshore wind flow across the area.
Thus, despite a mostly sunny day, temps will be somewhat cooler
than today. Highs Fri low-mid 80s across the Piedmont, low-mid
70s ivof the Ches Bay and 65 to 70 at the beaches. Fair to
partly cloudy Fri night as the winds become more SSW. Lows
55-60.

High pres remains in control Sat. However, there continues to
be some model disagreement in whether any convection in the NW
flow is able to hold together as it pushes ESE into the overhead
ridge. Both the GFS and Canadian show some moisture holding
together across the Va nrn neck and ern shore while the NAM and
ECMWF not as bullish. Thus, given the uncertainty, will carry
isolated late aftrn/eve PoPs across the ne for now. Heating
back up with highs Sat mid-upr 80s away from the water, arnd 80
near the water. Lows Sat night low-mid 60s.

Mostly sunny/hot/dry Sunday due to rather deep NW flow. Highs
lwr 90s away from the water, mid-upr 80s near the water.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 300 AM EDT Thursday...

Models show an actual frontal boundary pushing south across the area
Mon, but differ with just how much moisture accompanies it. Will
continue to carry low chc PoPs in the grids, but latest models show
the best support for any pcpn may shift to the srn Piedmont. Another
wide range in temps due to a frontal movement. Highs range from the
70s across the ern shore, low-mid 80s ivof the Ches Bay to upr 80s-
lwr 90s across the Piedmont.

Break down of the overall pattern by mid next week toward a zonal
flow aloft. This would lead to very warm wx (either continuing or
returning). Highs Tue upr 70s along the coast to upr 80s along and
west of I95. Lows in the 60s. Highs Wed 90-95, 80s along the coast.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 150 PM EDT Thursday...

Primarily VFR conditions are expected to continue through the
18z taf period. Mostly sunny/clear except for occasional rounds
of cirrus passing through. Winds are expected to become ENE 5-10
kt at RIC/ORF/ECG, ENE at 10-15 kt at PHF, and ESE at SBY 10-15
kt through the afternoon into the early evening hours as the
backdoor cold front pushes from east to west. Winds taper off
and become light and variable overnight at all terminals. Given
light onshore flow overnight, patches of fog will be possible
around SBY and ECG late tonight into Fri morning. Models haven't
fully come into agreement on this though, so have kept VFR VIS
for now. Although, if confidence increases, reduced VIS and
flight restrictions will be possible. Any fog burns off Fri
morning with winds becoming ENE at PHF/ORF/ECG 5-10 kt, E at RIC
~5 kt, and ESE at SBY 5-10 kt.

Outlook...
High pressure remains in control through the weekend. Mainly VFR
conditions expected except for some isolated convection along the
coast late Sat.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 300 AM EDT Thursday...

1028mb high pressure remains centered over the region early this
morning with long wave ridging aloft across the eastern half of the
country. Local winds are generally from the west at 5-10 kt. Waves
are 1-2 ft in the Bay with seas 2-3 ft offshore.

Winds are forecast to become NE and E by early this afternoon as a
backdoor cold front crosses the waters. Onshore flow increases to 10-
15 kt with the potential for a few gusts to approach 20 kt across
the Ches Bay/rivers by late afternoon. Not confident that conditions
will rise to SCA levels for more than an hour or two so will hold
off on any headlines with this forecast package. The pressure
gradient relaxes this evening into the overnight hours with winds
remaining easterly but falling into the 5-10 kt range. Low pressure
offshore will generate some swell that moves toward the coast,
allowing seas to increase to 3-5 ft early Friday AM across the
southern coastal waters. Flow becomes southerly on Saturday then SW
and W by Sunday. Guidance suggests the potential for seas 3-5 ft
across the northern coastal waters by Saturday AM with seas building
to 3-6 ft for all coastal waters Saturday afternoon into Sunday.
Another backdoor front is forecast to impact the local waters Monday
with increasing NE winds and building waves/seas.
