Area forecast discussion, Sep 28, 6:37 AM EDT, 3 hours 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
637 AM EDT Tue Sep 28 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will slide farther off the coast this morning. A
cold front will cross the local area late today into tonight. High
pressure returns for Wednesday into the upcoming weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 250 AM EDT Tuesday...

Starting out milder than 24 hours. Sfc hi pres remains INVOF
coastal SE CONUS attm and will be drifting slowly off the coast
today. A weak sfc trough develops this afternoon in advance of a
sfc cold front approaching from the NNW. Low level heating and
cooling aloft (as trough aloft progresses into the region) will
steepen lapse rates this afternoon resulting in modest
instability. Best shear aloft is shown to be over N and NE
areas of the FA later today. Potentially favorable overlap of
instability and shear may support ISOLD/SCT stms...mainly across
nrn and NE areas by late this afternoon. Some concern over dew
point recovery (into the l-m60s) this afternoon due to SW low
level flow (which may limit convective potential.SPC has SLGT
over far nrn/NE tier of FA...marginal risk down to about I 64
corridor. OTW...sunny then becoming partly cloudy today w/ SW
winds 5-15 mph. Highs ranging through the 80s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 220 AM EDT Tuesday...

Mainly evening convection...esp E of I 95 to the coast wanes/diminishes
after midnight. Winds become N and gusty (at the coast) after midnight
as drier/cooler air spreads into the local area. Lows from the
m50s-l60s.

High pressure will build down into the area from the north for Wed
through Thu. Pleasant wx expected, with highs ranging through the
70s both days. Lows Wed night will range u40s-m50s inland...m-u50s
along coastal SE VA-NE NC.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 250 AM EDT Tuesday...

Continuing to run w/ the 00Z/28 ECMWF solution for the extended
period. Most of the extended period will remain dry, as sfc
high pressure builds down over the region, then slides out to
sea. Low pressure over the OH Valley and a frontal boundary to
our north, could provide a chance for showers Mon aftn/night.

Lows will range from the upper 40s to the upper 50s Thu night
and Fri night, in the 50s Sat night, and in the mid 50s to lower
60s Sun night. Highs will range through the 70s to near 80
through the period.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 635 AM EDT Tuesday...

A cold front approaches from the NW this afternoon then crosses
the FA w/ psbl ISOLD/SCT convection through this evening. VFR
conditions...except for flight restrictions (mainly VSBY) and
gusty winds w/ any SHRAs/tstms (mainly from 20Z/28-04Z/29). WSW
winds 5-15 kt. Winds become NNW after midnight. VFR conditions
expected Wed through Fri as hi pres builds back into the mid-
Atlantic region.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 330 AM EDT Tuesday...

Early this morning, high pressure is centered south of the local
waters. Meanwhile, a cold front is approaching the waters from
the NW. Winds remain breezy out of the SW, especially for the
northern Bay/coastal waters, with wind speeds of 15 to 20 knots
and gusts to 25 knots. Seas range from 3 to 5 feet for the
northern coastal waters and 2 to 3 feet for the southern waters.
Waves in the Bay are generally around 2 to 3 feet.

Winds gradually diminish through this morning into this
afternoon as the cold front approaches. The front is expected to
cross the waters tonight into early Wednesday morning with winds
becoming N to NW and increasing to 15 to 20 knots in its wake.
Another round of Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed
for the Chesapeake Bay from around 09z Wed through 15z, with
local wind probabilities showing a 60 to 70% chance of SCA
conditions during this period as drier/cooler air moves across
the warmer waters of the Bay. Winds diminish below SCA criteria
by mid to late morning Wednesday, but will remain around 15
knots through much of the day. High pressure builds from the NW
later Wednesday through the end of the week, allowing for
generally sub-SCA conditions Wednesday afternoon through Friday.

Uncertainty remains this weekend regarding the extent of the
impact of increased swells from Hurricane Sam which will pass
well offshore. SCAs for seas may be needed. A period of
increased rip current risk will also be possible this weekend
due to the swell. The rip risk will be low today and moderate
for the southern beaches on Wed.
