Tornado Warning 23, NWS Wakefield, VA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
324 PM EDT Thu Jun 16 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure tracks across eastern Canada tonight through Friday,
with the trailing cold front crossing the region late Friday. High
pressure builds in from the north over the upcoming weekend, then
becomes centered off the Mid Atlantic coast early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
As of 320 PM EDT Thursday...

Ongoing convection dvlpng along the sfc trof is progged to drift
ese into the Piedmont late this aftrn/eve. Will carry chc PoPs
for this pulsey activity along and west of I95 thru 00Z, then
20-30 PoP across the rest of the area as the trof pushes east.
SPC has a marginal svr risk mainly for wind gusts and hail. Otw,
fair to pt cldy and muggy. Lows 70-75.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 320 PM EDT Thursday...

The main story Fri will be the heat ahead of a cold front that will
cross the area later in the day. H85 tmps support widespread mid-upr
90s inland and 90-95 near the water (can't rule out an AWOS report
of 100). However, west downsloping wind will allow for some mixing
resulting in dew points to drop into the mid 60s away from the
water, upr 60s to near 70 near the water. Upshot will be HI's near
the actual sfc temps which will be upr 90s to lwr 100s (highest ivof
ALbemarle Sound). These values below heat advsry criteria. May
challenge some record highs though, see CLI section below).

Convection wise, appears it will take a good part of the day to
break the cap so don't expect any convection ahead of the front to
dvlp before 21Z. While the global models only show isltd-sct
convection, some of the CAMS are more robust in coverage.  Tuff call
on coverage attm given wsw downslope wind and lwr dew points, but do
expect at least some tstm coverage with the front. Thus, will carry
low chc PoPs with the timing btwn 21Z-03Z. SPC now has the srn half
of the area in a slight svr risk with a marginal over the north.
Main threat will be damaging wind gusts and large hail.

Any convection ends by late Fri eve as the front pushes off the
coast. Clrg overnite. Lows 65-70.

A pleasant/much cooler weekend on tap as high pressure builds in
from the north. Mstly sunny days with mstly clr nights. Highs Sat 75-
80 north, 80-85 south. Lows Sat nite in the 50s to lwr 60s se (upr
40s psbl at LKU?). Highs Sun upr 70s north-lwr 80s south.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 320 PM EDT Thursday...

High pressure over the area Mon slides se and becomes centered off
the Mid Atlantic coast through most of next week. Dry to start the
period. Will carry low chc PoP mainly for diurnal convection dvlpng
along a lee trof Wed/Thurs. Sct convection may dvlp somewhat earlier
across the ern shore depending on the exact movement of a backdoor
cold front late Tue. Hot/humid once the high pushes offshore.

Still comfy Sun nite with lows in the 50s to nr 60 se. Highs Mon 80-
85. Lows 60-65. Highs Tue lwr 90s inland, low-mid 80s near the
water. Lows mid 60s-lwr 70s. Highs Wed/Thurs low-mid 90s inland 85-
90 near the water. Lows upr 60s-lwr 70s. HI's arnd 100 Wed/Thurs.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 130 PM EDT Thursday...

This mornings convection has pushed sse into NC and offshore. In
its wake, SCT-BKN VFR CIGS along with SSE winds at 10 kts or less
this aftrn. Expect anthr round of convection to dvlp across the
Blue Ridge over the next few hrs then track se across the Piedmont
thru the eve hrs. Think RIC has best shot of seeing any convection
so added VCTS for a fews hrs aftr 21Z. Could see CIGS lwr to MVFR
and IFR VSBYS in lclly hvy downpours in any convection. Otw, chc
thunder not high enuf to include along the coast attm.

OUTLOOK...
Isltd-sct convection psbl again late Fri aftrn/eve as a cold front
crosses the area. Coverage only expected to be arnd 20-30%. Dry/VFR
with NNW winds this weekend as high pressure builds into the area.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 320 PM EDT Thursday...

S winds continue tonight before becoming SW late. Over the coastal
waters, winds this evening/tonight increase to 15-20 kt, with gusts
to 25 kt possible across the northern coastal waters. Seas also
build to 4-5 ft tonight across the northern coastal waters. SCAs for
the northern two coastal zones from Parramore Island, Va to Fenwick
Island, DE will remain in effect from this evening through 6 AM Fri
morning.

By Fri, winds become SW 10-15 kt, diminishing to 10 kt by late
morning, then becoming S by early afternoon (S 10-15 kt across the
coastal waters). A strong cold front drops south Fri evening/Fri
night with winds becoming NNW 15-20 kt with gusts to 25 kt on Sat
through Sat night. SCAs for the Ches Bay will likely be needed. High
pressure builds in from the W Sun into Mon with sub-SCA conditions
expected through late week.
