SCA CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM SLOWLY APPROACHES
FROM THE W. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF LULL IN WINDS OVER THE MIDDLE/NRN
CHES BAY THIS EVENING/EARLY TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
INCREASE AGAIN TOWARDS DAYBREAK SO WILL CONTINUE THE SCA THRU THE
NIGHT. WINDS WILL INCREASE FURTHER AND SEAS WILL BUILD HIGHER THUR
EVENING THRU EARLY FRI AS AN AREA OF LOW PRES APPROACHES THE WATERS
FROM THE GULF COAST STATES. MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES GUSTS
APPROACHING GALE FORCE THUR EVENING AS THE LOW MOVES CLOSER AND
DEEPENS. THIS WILL DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE
FRONT/LOW...AND GIVEN THAT THERE IS MARGINAL FCST CONFIDENCE IN
THEIR OCCURRENCE WILL HOLD OFF ON RAISING A GALE FOR NOW. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS EVENT WITH SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS.
THE LOW MOVES FARTHER TO THE NE AND AWAY FROM OUR COASTAL WATERS
LATE FRI AS HIGH PRES BUILDS BACK IN FROM THE W. WINDS WILL EASE
ALTHO SEAS WILL BE SLOWER TO SUBSIDE SO THE SCA FOR THE COASTAL
WATERS MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED BEYOND THE CURRENT 3RD PERIOD INTO
FRI WITH NEXT FCST PACKAGE ISSUANCE.
THE HIGH THEN MOVES OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC THIS WEEKEND...THEN OFF
THE COAST ON MONDAY AS THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM BEGINS TO APPROACH
FROM THE NW.

.HYDROLOGY...
THE POSSIBILITY FOR HEAVY RAIN OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS WILL
RAISE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN
TWO-THIRDS OF THE HSA INCLUDING THE RICHMOND METRO AREA...MARYLAND
EASTERN SHORE...VIRGINIA DELMARVA AND SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA.
RAINFALL RATES OF BETWEEN 2 TO 3 INCHES AN HOUR COULD CAUSE RAPID
RISES TO FLOOD LOW LYING AND FLOOD PRONE AREAS AS WELL AS ALONG
SMALL CREEKS/STREAMS. 24 TO 48 HOUR RAINFALL TOTALS OF 3 TO 4
INCHES COULD ALSO CAUSE SHARP RISES ALONG THE AREA RIVERS BY LATE
