Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 3:55 AM EST, 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wakefield VA 355 AM EST Wed Feb 22 2023 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front stalls over North Carolina Wednesday, and then lifts back as a warm front Wednesday night. Record warmth is expected on Thursday, followed by much cooler conditions Friday night through Saturday as cold high pressure settles north of the region. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/... As of 935 PM EST Tuesday... Low pressure is centered over nrn New England and Atlantic Canada late this evening, with zonal flow aloft over the central and ern CONUS. The aforementioned sfc low is dragging a cold front through the region. This front is progged to cross the remainder of the area overnight before settling into NC by Wednesday morning. The cold frontal passage tonight is expected to be dry. Forecast low temperatures range from the mid/upper 30s N, to the lower to mid 40s elsewhere. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 400 PM EST Tuesday... The warm front slowly lifts back N across the area Wednesday- Wednesday night resulting in increasing clouds, with some light rain possible across the far N, and possibly some sprinkles farther S, although the sub-cloud layer will be quite dry. Otherwise, variable clouds S, mostly cloudy central and N Wednesday- Wednesday night. Overall the trends are a little weaker with the front so highs have been been nudged a few degrees higher (especially S), except on the eastern shore where the marine influence will be strongest. Highs Wednesday range from around 50F to lower-mid 50s MD Eastern Shore to the low-mid 70s across interior NE NC. The warm front will lift NE of the area by early Thursday, setting up a very warm and generally dry and breezy day Thursday (low level wind out of the WSW). Highs will be into the lower 80s across much of the CWA W of the Bay, with readings mainly ranging through the 70s over most of the Ern Shore (see Climate section below for record highs on Thu 2/23 and all-time Feb record highs). The cold front pushes through Thursday night, but remaining very warm for late Feb with lows in the lower 50s NW to the lower 60s SE. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 340 AM EST Wednesday... The medium range period begins with the flow aloft briefly becoming WNW Fri night into early Sat as a progressive upper trough pushes off the New England coast. This allows strong high pressure (~1040mb) to move from the eastern Great Lakes to New England. Locally, Fri night turns sharply colder with dry air filtering in from the N. Lows will range from the mid 20s to lower 30s across most of the area, with mid-upper 30s across the SE. While the 00Z models show some differences in the amount of cold air reaching into the local area as well as timing of overrunning moisture moving in from the west on Sat, the general pattern shows good overall agreement. While the sfc high is initially quite strong, the progressive nature of the flow aloft suggests the sfc high rapidly weakens and moves to the east during the day Sat. The strong upper ridge centered over the Gulf of Mexico also supports a warm nose aloft moving in from the SW rather quickly. Will have low chc PoPs initially over the along/W of I-95 Sat morning, spreading E and becoming likely central and S to high chc N Sat aftn. Have mainly SN as p-type across the N to start, with RA/SN central and RA SE. Will shift p-type to RA/IP or SN/IP into much of central and eastern VA by late morning/early aftn and then primarily all rain after 18Z. The MD eastern shore appears to have the best chc for seeing a period of mainly snow until after 18Z (with the warm nose aloft staying SW). Sat will be the only cold day of the period with highs below avg, ranging from the mid-upper 40s SE to around 40F across the N. That initial system moves away by early Sun...with partial clearing and much warmer temperatures for Sunday (highs upper 50s to mid 60s). Another weak low pressure system looks to quickly arrive from the W later Mon/Mon night resulting in more unsettled wx (chc PoPs). Lows Sun night in the 30s to lower 40s, with highs Mon a bit uncertain given precip moving back in (mainly in the 60s S but likely holding in the 50s N). That system exits off the coast by early Tue, with downsloping/drying conditions and continued mild WX. Lows Mon night in the 40s N and 50s S, with highs Tue in the lower to mid 60s N to around 70F S. && .AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 1250 AM EST Wednesday... VFR conditions will continue to prevail through the 06z TAF period. A cold front will slide through the region overnight with the wind becoming light out of the NE with increasing high clouds. Mostly cloudy to overcast on Wednesday with cloud bases lowering to 5000-7000ft AGL. Winds will generally be 5-10kt and veer from the E to SE and a warm front lifts through the area. There could be an isolated, light shower north of RIC from 12-15z and at SBY from 15z-18z. However, coverage is expected to be too low to necessitate mention in the TAFs as most areas will remain dry. Otherwise, most of the area should just remain cloudy in the morning hours. Expecting VFR CIGs/VISs to remain into Wednesday night as overcast skies become scattered-broken. A robust low-level jet develops Wed evening and will likely lead to widespread LLWS conditions after ~00z. This LLJ will persist into the overnight hours. Outlook: VFR conditions continue Thursday with a breezy SW wind. The wind shifts to the N-NW Friday and remains breezy as high pressure builds in from the NNW. The next system arrives on Saturday with a chance for precip (possibly mixed precip at the onset for RIC/SBY) and flight restrictions. Improving conditions are expected by Sunday. && .MARINE... As of 915 PM EST Tuesday... Winds fell below SCA-criteria earlier this evening with the loss of mixing quickly decreasing after 6 pm. For tonight through tomorrow high pressure briefly moves across the region. Southwest winds then increase later tomorrow evening into Thursday as a warm front lifts back north across the waters and a cold front begins to approach from the west resulting in a tightening pressure gradient. Another round of SCAs will likely be for at least the tidal rivers and Chesapeake Bay Wednesday evening into Thursday. Similar to today, the highest wind gusts during the day on Thursday will likely be closer to the shore where mixing is more prevalent. Winds briefly decrease Thursday night before increasing again on Friday and becoming W/NW in the wake of the cold front. SCAs will again be needed for most locations Friday into Friday night due to NW winds of 15 to 25 kt with gusts to around 30 kt. Winds diminish below SCA-criteria late Friday night/early Saturday morning. Seas generally range from 2 to 3 feet (waves 1 to 2 feet in the Bay) this evening through Wednesday. Seas build to around 3 to 4 feet (5 feet out 20 nm) Thursday due to the increasing SW wind. Seas briefly diminish Thursday night before building again Friday into Friday night. && .FIRE WEATHER... As of 700 PM EST Tuesday... Warm and breezy conditions are expected on Thursday, but min RH values will be in the 40-50% range. A mainly dry cold front will cross the area Thursday night into Friday. Not as warm, but min RH values will drop to 20-30% inland W of the Bay (30-45% toward the coast) along with a breezy NW wind. Increased fire danger is possible Friday. && .CLIMATE... Unseasonably warm wx is expected Thu (2/23).
