AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
349 PM EDT Tue Apr 26 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross the local area from northwest to
southeast through this evening. Cooler and drier weather is
expected from Wednesday through Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
As of 240 PM EDT Tuesday...

A weak sfc boundary continues to linger just N of RIC this
afternoon...and this will be the focus for some stronger storms
through early evening. A cold front that is now just to our west
is progged to cross the area from NW-SE from 3-9 PM. Scattered
to numerous showers and tstms will accompany it, and showers
and isolated tstms will continue for a couple hours following
the FROPA. The front is expected to outrun the broken line of
convection...especially later during the event as the front gets
into SE VA/NE NC. SPC has placed a SLGT risk for severe wx in
an area centered along this boundary, and Severe Thunderstorm
Watch 155 is in effect for roughly this SLGT risk area until 8
PM this evening. As referenced above, the best chc of severe
storms will be west of the Ches Bay along the remnant sfc
boundary (and resulting instability gradient) from FVX-RIC-FYJ.
This is also where CAMs have the most concentrated updraft
helicity tracks. The main threats are localized damaging wind
gusts and large hail. Expect temperatures to quickly drop into
the 60s immediately following the FROPA.

Lingering SHRAs/tstms remain possible over mainly E/SE VA and
NE NC through late this evening before it clears out later
tonight as NW winds become breezy (highest near the coast)
overnight. Lows from the l-m40s W to the m50s far SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 345 PM EDT Tuesday...

Cooler, breezy, and dry wx will prevail from Wed-Thu as the
upper low tracks from New England to Nova Scotia and sfc high
pressure builds toward the area but remains well to our W/NW.
Highs mainly in the 60s on both days. Lows Wed night in the low-
mid 30s NW to low-mid 40s SE. Lows Thu night in the mid-upper
30s N to the mid 40s across the far SE. The upper low remains
near Nova Scotia on Friday as sfc high pressure continues to
build toward the area. Highs in the 60s again but with
noticeably lighter winds given the relaxing pressure gradient.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 345 PM EDT Tuesday...

The period will be characterized by a slow warming trend and
increasing pcpn changes by early next week. Dry wx is expected on
Sat with high pressure over the area. The upper low over Nova Scotia
slowly move away from the coast this weekend. Rain chances
potentially return on Sun (mainly SW) as the surface high moves
offshore and a very weak disturbance tracks over the area.
Confidence regarding rain on Sun is low, as some of the guidance has
nearly all of the pcpn staying SW of the FA. The wx will likely be a
bit more unsettled early next week as the flow aloft flattens out
over the ern CONUS and a couple of shortwaves track near or over the
area. In addition, there will be a noticeable increase in
temperatures/dew points by Mon/Tue. Highs mainly in the mid 60s-70F
on Saturday, and upper 60s-mid 70s on Sun. Highs Mon ranging through
the 70s, with upper 70s-low 80s on Tue. Lows in the upper 30s-40s
Friday night, mainly 40s Saturday night, and 50s on Mon/Tue nights.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 130 PM EDT Tuesday...

VFR conditions prevail at the terminals w/ SCT CU.  A cold
front is still progged to cross the area from NW-SE later this
afternoon/evening...turning winds to the NW. Showers and
isolated to scattered tstms will likely accompany the front as
it passes through RIC/PHF/ORF/ECG (w/ lingering showers and a
few tstms just behind it). Have added thunder to the TAFs at
these four terminals, with a TEMPO for TSRA at RIC where
confidence is highest. Have left thunder out of the TAF for SBY
given lower confidence. Brief VSBY reductions and gusty winds of
25-40 kt are likely in the heavier SHRAs/storms with a few hours
of MVFR CIGs moving in immediately after the FROPA. The front
clears the coast tonight w/ improving conditions expected. Dry
wx and VFR conditions are expected from Wed-Thu w/ breezy NW
winds.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 345 PM EDT Tuesday...

This afternoon the weak wedge front this morning remains over far
northern portions of the local waters. A cold front pushes through
this evening into early tonight with showers and storms developing
along and behind the front. A reinforcing cold front pushes S Wed
with high pressure building in from the N by late week.

Winds this afternoon are generally S to SW 10 to 15 kt across the
southern half of the Ches Bay, Currituck Sound, and coastal waters,
and N 10-15 kt across the northern Bay. Winds briefly surge to 15-20
kt late this afternoon into early tonight with convection, briefly
diminish to 10-15 kt early tonight, then become NNW/NW and increase
to 15-25 kt with gusts to 30 kt after midnight across the Ches Bay
and coastal waters and 15-20 kt with gusts to 25 kt across the
rivers and Currituck Sound. NW winds remain elevated through Wed
afternoon, briefly diminishing across the lower bay and S coastal
waters Wed afternoon into Wed evening, then becoming N/NW and
increasing to 15-25 kt with gusts to 30 kt again Wed night into
Thurs behind the reinforcing cold front. Winds gradually diminish
Thurs afternoon into Thurs night. Have issued SCAs evening for the
Ches Bay, rivers, and southern coastal waters to account for the
marginal initial surge with the front and convection. SCAs for the
remainder of the waters begins at 1 AM Wed (except 4 AM for the
Currituck Sound) when the CAA begins to ramp up. SCAs for the rivers
and Currituck Sound expire at 1 PM Wed due to a longer gap between
surges. Maintained SCAs for the Ches Bay and Coastal waters through
Thursday but may need to extend the end times further in future
updates.

Waves of 1-2 ft build to 2-3 ft this evening and 3-5 ft tonight,
remaining 3-4 ft through Thurs afternoon. Seas of 3-4 ft N and 2-3
ft S build to 3-4 ft later this afternoon, 4-5 ft tonight, and 4-6
ft Wed into Thurs night before gradually subsiding Fri.
