Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
414 PM EDT Sat Oct 8 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Matthew is forecast to weaken as it lifts northeast
along the Coastal Carolinas through tonight...then drift
southeast well off the coast during Sunday. Meanwhile, a cold
front will cross our region tonight and help steer Matthew east
then southeast and away from the coast through Sunday. Cool high
pressure then builds in from the northwest early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
Latest position of Hurricane Matthew was just SSW of Myrtle
Beach, and NHC indicated that Matthew made landfall late this
morning near the Cape Romain NWR in SC. Regional Radar mosaic
indicating an expansive pcpn shield extending along and NW from
the center of Matthew, with areas of heavier showers persisting
acrs the VA piedmont at midday, as h85-7 ESE flow continues to
focus moisture across the Carolinas and up into the piedmont.
HRRR/RAP depiction of Hurricane Matthew continues to indicate a
slow NNE movement along or just off the SC/SE NC coasts this
afternoon into tonight, with a strong slug of moisture arriving
during this period. Modeled strong frontogenetic forcing that has
yielded prolific rainfall totals to the south across the Carolinas
this afternoon begins to nudge NE now through after 06z/2am edt
tonight, as the center of Matthew interacts further with upper
troughing aloft. Have continued to include rain heavily at times
wording thru this evening inland. Heavy rainfall will pivot
toward the coast late this aftn as Matthew lifts offshore of the
Crystal Coast area, with the axis of heavy rainfall still expected
to be concentrated acrs SE VA into NE NC tonight, lifting N to
also include the Eastern Shore after midnight late this evening.
QPF totals have been nudged upward and clusters nicely with the
Time lagged HRRR/WPC and NSSL NCAR WRF...Rainfall forecast
includes 1-2" for RIC metro, 2-4" for coastal E VA/Lower Eastern
Shore...and 5-8+" over SE VA/NE NC.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Continued clearing trend through the day from W-SW to NE on
Sunday...and Rain will end from west to east Sunday morning thru
mid- aftn. Winds will be strongest over Coastal sections, w/high
res indicating 3-hr pressure falls on the order of 5-6/mb. Still
getting peak wing gusts averaging 20-30 mph inland, 35-45 mph
coastal sections and up to 60 mph VA Beach/Outer Banks Currituck
and along the northern shores of the Albemarle Sound, mainly after
midnight tonight thru Sunday aftn. Have hoisted a high wind
warning over southeastern tier of counties from Bertie over to
Currituck/VB/Northampton. Expanded Wind Advisory to include the
remainder of Hampton Roads/Peninsula and lower VA Ern Shore into
NE NC. High pressure begins to build into the area Sun night thru
Mon for dry wx all areas and a mainly clear sky (some additional
clouds linger along the coast). Tight pressure gradient will
linger Sun night into Mon, especially along the immediate coast
where winds will remain elevated. Highs on Sun in the upr 60s to
near 70. Lows Sun ngt ranging fm the mid 40s to mid 50s. Highs on
Mon in the 60s. Please refer to the National Hurricane Center for
the latest information on Matthew.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure builds over the Mid Atlantic States early in the week.
Another cold front moves through late Thursday mainly as a dry
frontal passage. The next high pressure builds in Friday and
Saturday. A progressive pattern is indicated in the upper levels
with weak short waves. Surface winds will be from the north or
northeast most of the week.
The long term begins Sunday night with precipitation ending far
southeast portions by Midnight. Mainly dry weather is expected
Monday through Saturday. Onshore flow will produce a moist layer at
around 15 hundred to 3 thousand feet Tuesday and Wednesday. There
will be a slight chance for showers Wednesday toward the coast.
Cold air advection will lower temperatures at 925 millibars to around
5C Monday morning which will lower temperatures from the previous
forecast a few degrees. Also lowered temperatures a few degrees
Tuesday and Wednesday due to cloud cover when low level temperatures
slowly warm.
High temperatures Monday will be much cooler than those of recent
days with readings in the low to mid 60s. Temperatures increase a
few degrees Tuesday and Wednesday with highs Wednesday in the mid
60s in the Piedmont to around 70 toward the coast. The warmest day
of the week is expected to be Thursday with highs in the low to mid
70s. Highs lower to between 65 and 70 Friday and Saturday behind the
next front. Lows in the mid 40s Piedmont to mid 50s near the coast
Monday and Tuesday mornings will be mainly in the 50s to near 60
Wednesday through Friday mornings and then lowers a few degrees for
Saturday morning.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Hurricane Matthew is just inland over SE SC. Very heavy rain
is moving over the Carolinas into Va and all TAF sites will be
affected by moderate to heavy rain over the TAF period. The
storm is expected to lift to just off the NC before curling east
and out to sea by Sunday morning. Gusty winds, heavy rain, and
MVFR/IFR conditions will dominate through the TAF period. Gusts up
to 35-40 kt will be possible for ECG/ORF.
OUTLOOK...The wx will improve slowly fm NW to SE during Sun with
rain ending ESE portions in the aftn. High pressure and fair wx
returns Sun night thru mid week.
&&
.MARINE...
Short Term /Through Tuesday/...
To be updated shortly.
Long Term /Tuesday through Saturday/...
Seas will be elevated with winds generally from the north
and northeast through the week. With high pressure to our north
and a stationary front well to the southeast of the area...seas
will remain in the 5 to 7 feet range in the coastal waters and
waves from 3 to 4 ft in the mouth of the Bay through midday
Wednesday. Seas subside a little through Thursday night and then
build again behind the next front Friday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Tidal departures are averaging 0.5-0.8ft above normal early this
morning and this should continue through the next high tide cycle
today, with no minor flooding expected. Anomalies trend back up
this evening and Sunday, and another round of Coastal Flood
headlines have been issued. Regardless of the track of Matthew,
a strong northerly wind is expected to develop this evening into
Sunday night with tightening pressure gradient between high
pressure to the n and the tropical cyclone Matthew to the south.
Latest ESTOFS/ETSS each depict the potential for 2.0-2.5ft tidal
anomalies late tonight into Sunday from the lwr Bay to coastal se
VA/ne NC. This has the potential to produce high end minor to
moderate coastal flooding for the lwr Bay to VA Beach, with major
flooding possible for the nrn Outer Banks. A coastal flood
advisory has been issued for the early Sunday morning high tide
for areas adjacent to the lwr Bay and James River including tidal
forecast point at Sewells Point and Jamestown. The higher
astronomical tide occurs Sunday afternoon and this should combine
with the highest surge bringing the potential for moderate
flooding, with major possible for the nrn Outer Banks. A coastal
flood watch has been issued to account for this. Have opted not to
extend the watch up the James River given that the wind will be
north as opposed to ne.
High seas will build to 8-10ft nearshore by Saturday night...have
issued High Surf Advisory for VA Beach/Northern OBX. Will likely
need to add Eastern Shore Atlantic coastal zones with forecast
issuance today, with seas likely building across northern zones
later Sun into Monday.
