AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
856 PM EDT Sat Jul 17 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front slowly moves through the local area Sunday morning
then settles near the Virginia North Carolina border late Sunday
into Monday bringing chances of mainly afternoon and evening
showers and thunderstorms. Drier conditions arrive by Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 850 PM EDT Saturday...

Sct tstms continue to move east along a leading sfc trof this
eve with the activity now east of RIC, apprchg SBY/PHF. Although
some wind gusts to arnd 40 mph are psbl in the leading storms,
think svr threat has just abt ended given loss of daytime heating.
Any threat now will be lclly hvy downpours but the storms are moving
to the east so no sgnfcnt flooding expected.

Models show the activity weakening then dissipating by or shortly
after 06Z, so will keep chc/low end likely PoPs until then. Expect
a lull in the activity later tonite/Sun morning before anthr round
of convection dvlps across srn VA/nrn NC along the actual cold front
Sun aftrn. Still muggy overnite despite the temp drop after the storms.
Lows 70-75 except for some upr 70s across the se.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 355 PM EDT Saturday...

The aforementioned cold front will approach from the NW Sunday
morning and will be weakening at the same time. By afternoon,
the boundary is expected to settle into central VA.
Showers/tstms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and
linger into the evening, especially across southern VA and NE
NC. Forecast PoPs are mainly 30-60% as there remains some
uncertainty with respect to convective coverage. Brief heavy
rain is possible with any storms, but the risk for flooding is
low. Showers and a few embedded tstms could linger overnight,
but coverage and intensity should wane during the overnight
hours. Highs Sunday range from the mid 80s to around 90F, with
lows Sunday night in the mid 60s to low 70s.

The front lingers over the area Monday, before pushing farther
SE Monday night into Tuesday as weak high pressure builds in
from the NW. PoPs Monday range from 20-30% N to 60-70% S. Again,
heavy rain will accompany showers/tstms, but there is not
enough confidence with regard to coverage for a widespread
flooding risk. A drier airmass arrives from the NW Monday night
and spreads across the area Tuesday. Highs Monday range from
around 80F S with clouds and occasional showers/tstms, to the
mid 80s N. Lows Monday night range from the mid 60s to around
70F. Highs Tuesday range from the mid to upper 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 355 PM EDT Saturday...

A cold front approaches from the north Wednesday into Wednesday
night, before weak high pressure builds in from the north
Thursday. There is only a minimal chc of showers/tstms with
this front Wednesday afternoon and evening. Another weak cold
front moves through Friday and Friday night with a another chc
of showers/tstms. Weak high pressure builds into the area
Saturday.

Highs will be seasonal and range from the upper 80s to around
90F Wednesday to Saturday. Lows will range from the mid 60s to
around 70F Tuesday through Friday nights.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 850 PM EDT Saturday...

Sct tstms cont this eve along a leading sfc trof across VA/MD
with addntl convection across the mts ahead of a cold front
that will cross the area Sun. Thus, have kept VCTS with a tempo
for storms at RIC/SBY with only VCTS at ORF/PHF and kept it dry
at ECG for the next few hrs. Latest guid shows the pcpn weakening
then dissipating by or shortly after 06Z. Otw, VFR outside on
convection with lcl IFR VSBYS in lclly hvy rainfall. Should see
a lull in the activity cont into Sun morning with more
convection dvlpng Sun aftrn ahead and along the cold front.
Expect most activity across srn VA/nrn NC. S-SW winds aob 10 kts
outside of tstms.

OUTLOOK...
