WIDESPREAD HI TEMPS IN THE M/U90S. COMBINATION OF THOSE
TEMPS...AND DEWPTS IN THE L/M70S RESULT IN AFTN HEAT INDICES AT OR

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS NE NC TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. MEANWHILE...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER
THE SRN U.S. RETROGRADES WWD AS A LONGWAVE TROUGH RESIDES OVER
SERN CANADA DURING THIS SAME TIMEFRAME. THIS WILL TRANSLATE INTO A
PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR THE MID ATLANTIC REGION AS A
SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVES CROSS THE AREA IN W-NW FLOW ALOFT...
INTERACTING WITH THE STALLED BOUNDARY ACROSS NE NC. THE MAIN FOCUS
FOR CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS SE VA/NE NC NEAR THE STALLED
BOUNDARY...PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTN/EVENING HOURS. LONG RANGE
MODELS HINT AT TROUGHING AND POSSIBLY A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHORTWAVE
DIGGING OVER THE OH/TN VALLEY INTO THE PIEDMONT OF VA/NC/SC ON
FRIDAY...HOWEVER THE BULK OF PRECIP MAY STAY SHUNTED SOUTH AND
WEST OF THE AREA. STILL FAR OUT IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...
SO WILL LEAN MORE TWD A CLIMO POP FORECAST GOING INTO THE
DAY 7/8 TIMEFRAME.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE CLOSE TO
SEASONAL NORMALS WITH READINGS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S
(MID 80S AT THE BEACHES). LOW TEMPERATURES TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE 70-75 DEGREES...A TAD WARMER AT THE
IMMEDIATE COAST.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE 18Z TAF PERIOD. WEAK
SURFACE TROUGH AND PASSING UPPER WAVE ALONG WITH HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS WILL INCREASE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTN. BUT
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT NOT HIGH ENOUGH ATTM TO INCLUDE
MENTION IN TAFS BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE UPDATES.
WITH PARTIAL CLEARING OVERNIGHT...ANY AREAS THAT RECEIVE
PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR GROUND FOG DEVELOPMENT
SUN MORNING.
WEAK TROUGH AND HOT/HUMID SURFACE CONDITIONS WILL MAINTAIN THE
POSSIBILITY FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM SUN AFTN.
OUTLOOK...THERE IS A DAILY CHANCE FOR MAINLY AFTN/EVENING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HIGHEST CHANCES MONDAY AND TUESDAY WHEN A
FRONTAL SYSTEM AFFECTS THE AREA.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM THE TN VALLEY ACROSS TO THE NC COASTAL PLAIN
IS CROSSING A LEE TROUGH AXIS THIS AFTN AND RESULTING IN
SHOWERS/STORMS FIRING UP OVER SCNTRL VA AND INLAND NE NC. THIS
WILL BECOME A LINE OF STORMS THAT CROSSES THE WATERS FROM
CURRITUCK LIGHT TO AT LEAST CAPE CHARLES LIGHT THROUGH THIS
EVENING. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS THAT COULD HAVE EMBEDDED
THUNDER NORTH OF CAPE CHARLES LIGHT TO FENWICK ISLAND...SO
MARINERS SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR RAPIDLY
CHANGING CONDITIONS THIS EVENING. SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES OFF THE
COAST LATER TONIGHT AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL WANE. ONSHORE
E-SE WINDS AOB 15KT AHEAD OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL VEER TO THE W
BEHIND THE LINE OF SHOWERS/STORMS. SPEEDS WILL REMAIN AOB 15KT.
WAVES/SEAS AVERAGE 1-2FT...EXCEPT IN/NEAR THUNDERSTORMS.
SUNDAY STARTS OFF SUNNY TO MOSTLY SUNNY DESPITE THE LEE TROUGH
LINGERING NEAR THE COAST. ISOLATED AFTN/EVENING STORMS MAY BE
POSSIBLE NEAR THIS BOUNDARY...PRIMARILY SOUTH OF CAPE HENRY.
OTHERWISE CONDITIONS WILL BE QUIET BUT HOT ON THE WATER DURING THE
AFTN (HEAT INDICES AROUND 90-95 DEGREES). S-SW WINDS AOB 15KT
WILL PERSIST SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY UNTIL A WEAK COLD FRONT DROPS
THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND SETTLES ACROSS NE NC TUESDAY
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN A WIND
SHIFT TO N LATE MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY...BUT NO LOW-LEVEL
SURGE IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. A SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL
CROSS THE REGION IN W-NW FLOW ALOFT WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND
TRIGGER AFTN/EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS EACH DAY. WINDS VARY FROM
N-SE AOB 15KT. SEAS WILL REMAIN 2-3FT WITH WAVES 1-2 FT.
