In Virginia, Accomack and Northampton Counties. * WHEN...From Saturday morning through Saturday evening. * IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore break can throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom causing neck and back injuries. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired, float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. It is extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at all times. Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many cases, the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers from being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it difficult to return to shore. && $$

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS
EVENING TO 2 AM EDT SUNDAY...
* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents
and large breaking waves expected. For the Coastal Flood
Advisory, around one foot of inundation above ground level
expected in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways, with locally one to two feet possible along the
Atlantic shoreline.
* WHERE...Northampton County.
* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM EDT this
evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 7 PM this
evening to 2 AM EDT Sunday.
* IMPACTS...Flooding is expected in the most vulnerable
locations near the waterfront and shoreline resulting in a low
threat of property damage. Expect up to one foot of water,
with locally higher amounts, above ground level in low lying,
vulnerable areas. Some roads and low lying property including
parking lots, parks and lawns near the waterfront will
experience flooding.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired,
float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. It is
extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you
are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at
all times.
Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many
cases, the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers
from being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it
difficult to return to shore.

Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statements, dangerous rip currents
and large breaking waves expected. For the Coastal Flood
Advisory, around one foot of inundation above ground level
expected in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways, with locally one to two feet possible along the
Atlantic shoreline.
* WHERE...Northampton County.
* WHEN...For the first Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM EDT

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired,
float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. It is
extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you
are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at
all times.
Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many
cases, the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers
from being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it
difficult to return to shore.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 3:04 PM EDT, 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
304 PM EDT Fri Jun 2 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
The sun has briefly returned for most of the area today as the
coastal low pressure weakens and drifts southward. Cloud cover will
build back in primarily for eastern locations overnight. A backdoor
cold front will push through Saturday afternoon bringing scattered
rain and storm chances to the Piedmont region. Drier conditions
return to start the new week before an upper low possibly sends a
cold front through Tuesday into Wednesday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
As of 300 PM EDT Friday...
About 80% of the CWA has been able to bask in the sunshine today
thanks to the pesky coastal low pressure dropping further to the
south and weakening. Areas from Williamsburg to South Hill and
southeastward are still seeing some scattered cloud cover, but
not nearly as thick as the last couple of days. Temperatures
have been able to warm into the mid to upper 80s across central
and north/northwest locations, while southeastern areas are
holding in the mid to upper 70s thanks to the cloud cover.
Wouldn't be surprised to squeeze out a 90 degree reading across
the far north/northwest within the next couple of hours. Also of
note is some smoke/haze in the sky due to a couple of fires
across the immediate region. With the mostly stagnant air in
place, the haze could hang around until after mid-day on
Sunday.
The unfortunate news is that the stratus deck will build back
in overnight, dropping cloud heights once again. Current hi-res
guidance keeps the bulk of the clouds east of Richmond. Some fog
and visibility reductions will also be possible during the
overnight and morning hours, similar to today. Low temperatures
are forecast to be in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Friday..
The aforementioned cloud cover and fog will likely persist into the
mid-morning hours of Saturday before trying to dissipate. If any
breaks in the clouds do develop, expect them to fill back in shortly
thereafter thanks to a backdoor cold front pushing in from the
northeast on Saturday. This front will bring an increase in
northeasterly winds, especially closer to the coast. There will also
be a chance for scattered showers and storms that will develop
in the mid to late afternoon hours. Models continue to trend a
bit further west with this activity, keeping the best chances
mainly west of I-95. The 12Z HRRR keeps almost all of the storm
activity to the west of our CWA, while the NAMNST develops a
thunderstorm cluster across the central/southern Piedmont after
4pm. There could be upwards of 1500-2000 J/kg of CAPE available
in the afternoon west of I-95, though shear is expected to be
minimal. No severe weather is currently anticipated, but
localized gusty winds can't be ruled out within any storm.
Rain/storm chances will come to an end during the late evening
hours. Expect cloud cover to remain in place overnight, and some
coastal northeasterly breezes will persist into the first part
of Sunday.
A quick-passing compact surface high pressure will start to slide
through the CWA on Sunday as a low pressure system makes its way
just offshore of the Massachusetts coastline. As this happens, any
lingering cloudiness should gradually dissipate leaving us with
mostly sunny skies by Sunday afternoon. Despite the sunshine, Sunday
will be our coolest day of the immediate period as highs top out in
the lower to mid 70s. Northeasterly winds are forecast to remain a
bit breezy for coastal locations through the early afternoon before
subsiding by the evening. Expect overnight lows in the lower 50s for
most spots, though some scattered upper 40s may be possible in rural
inland locations.
The upper low will then depart the MA coast on Monday as the surface
high pressure drifts to the south into NC. Monday will be another
dry day across the CWA with highs warming into the upper 70s to
around 80 degrees. Some cloud cover will begin to return during the
afternoon hours.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Friday...
The surface high will continue to slide off to the south/southeast
Monday night into early Tuesday as surface low pressure extends down
from the New England coast. A secondary area of low pressure will
sag south along the Canada/New England border on Tuesday before
meandering into the northern Mid-Atlantic region through Thursday
night. The 12Z GFS has come into better agreement with the ECMWF on
how far south the low pressure makes it, as opposed to earlier runs.
Broad troughing around the low will be the driver for our weather
here locally. On Tuesday, a cold front will extend across portions
of the area. Our NE NC/far SE VA zones could see a chance for
scattered showers/storms later Tuesday into Wednesday. The low
will then push off to the east and offshore late Wednesday into
Thursday, taking any rain chances out of our area. Temperatures
will hover in the upper 70s to lower 80s for most of the
extended period.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 130 PM EDT Friday...
Locations along and W/NW of a line from SBY-RIC-AVC are seeing
SKC-FEW250 conditions while areas to the SE including ORF/ECG
are still stuck under what's left of the current stratus deck.
Breaks in the clouds have developed and allowed CIGs at those
terminals to come up to SCT-BKN010-020. Additionally, there are
some areas of smoke/haze in the sky due to various wildfires
across the region. Winds will generally remain NE AOB 5kt
overnight into early Saturday morning. The stratus deck is
forecast to redevelop and push back in to portions of the area
tonight. Current models keep the IFR/LIFR conditions east of
RIC, while impacting the rest of the eastern terminals.
Generally expect the low clouds to return gradually from east to
west after 02Z. CIGs of OVC003-010 with VIS restrictions down
to 1-3SM at times will be possible as fog as develops.
IFR/LIFR conditions will attempt to become confined back to the
coast during the mid to late morning hours allowing CIGs to
come up slightly. A backdoor cold front will push through during
the afternoon hours with scattered RA/TSRA possible after 20Z,
especially near and west of RIC. NE winds will increase to
12-18kt with gusts to 20-25kt behind the frontal passage, with
the stronger speeds closer to the coast.
Outlook: Drier conditions will return for Sunday and Monday as
surface high pressure builds in. Cloud cover will gradually
dissipate through the afternoon on Sunday. Another chance of
rain may be possible on Tuesday.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 230 PM EDT Friday...
Winds have continued to slowly decrease this afternoon averaging
5 to 10 kt from the N to E. Winds were slightly higher along the
southeast VA and NC coast at 10 to 15 kt. Winds will remain
rather light and continue to decrease this evening and overnight
as weak broad low pressure remains off the NC coast. The eask
low and onshore flow has supported some marine dense fog which
was still lingering across the NC waters though visibilities
have improved north of Duck. Marine dense fog may return late
this evening and overnight as far north as the lower Bay. Beach
cameras were picking up on the fog just offshore and east of VA
Beach this afternoon.
Expect some marine fog which could become dense over the lower
Bay and coastal waters from Cape Charles south Saturday morning
along with a light east to northeast wind. A strong backdoor
cold front pushes southwest across the area Saturday approaching
Ocean City by noon, then quickly races down the Bay and VA
coastal waters through early Saturday afternoon. The front will
reach the NC waters mid afternoon. SCAs are in effect for all
waters starting tomorrow afternoon for a rapid increase in winds
to 20 to 25 kt. Winds will peak several hours following the
initial front and some gusts to around 34 kt are likely over the
coastal waters Saturday evening and early Sunday morning. Waves
on the Bay will build rapidly to 3 to 4 feet Saturday afternoon
and seas on the ocean build to 6 to 8 ft Saturday afternoon
into early Sunday.
Winds remain elevated over the waters Sunday morning, before
gradually diminishing Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. Winds
will be sub-SCA Monday into the middle of next week. Seas drop
below 5 ft on Monday except in NC waters.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 230 PM EDT Friday...
Confidence remains high for at least Minor tidal flooding
across the lower Bay/lower James and the ocean by the high tide
cycle Sat evening/night and again for the next 2 high tides
Sunday-Sun night. Locally, there is the potential for moderate
flooding at Lynnhaven, Oyster, and Corolla. With the full moon
the Saturday astronomical high tide cycles were already
expected to run high. THe northeast winds and building seas will
push water level up even higher for several high tide cycles
Late Saturday through Sunday.
There is more uncertainty regarding how water levels respond
farther north in the Bay, but as winds diminish later Sunday,
there is the potential that the water trapped in the lower Bay
spreads north and leads to at least Minor flooding at Windmill,
Lewisetta, Bishops Head,Crisfield, and Cambridge.
Rip current risk will be moderate in the morning, but then high
all of Saturday afternoon as surf conditions become rough due to
strong northeast winds. Sunday's rip current threat will also
likely be high with lingering seas of 5 ft+ and strong northeast
winds in the morning slowly decreasing in the afternoon.
