Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
353 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A complex area of low pressure impacts the region today. The
system will then lift into New England over the weekend. High
pressure returns early to mid next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Latest surface analysis depicts 997 mb low pres over eastern
TN/KY with its attendant warm front extending east into the Mid
Atlantic. Previous thinking on today's forecast remains on
track...with light to moderate rain overspreading the area this
morning, and areas of heavy rain expected as well later this
morning due to strong forcing and GOM moisture out ahead of an
upper-level low currently centered over TN. Will continue
mention in the HWO. Total rain amounts should average 1.0-1.5
in. Also, chance continues for thunder especially over southern
areas. Despite strong shear and forcing, meager instability will
limit the severe threat. Cannot rule out some damaging wind
gusts however in stronger storms this morning, again over
southern areas. Rain chances decrease this aftn as the main slug
of moisture and cold front pull offshore. Will maintain at
least a slight-low chance of showers late in the day though
with the upper-level low still west of the area. High temps
today in the mid 70s most areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The upper-level low lifts NE along the spine of the Appalachians
tonight/Saturday morning before reorganizing over the eastern
Great Lakes late Saturday as additional energy diving south from
Canada further deepens it. The end result will be the chance
for additional instability showers on Saturday and overall
mostly cloudy/breezy conditions. Will carry 20-24% pops. Lows
tonight in the 50s. Highs Saturday in the mid 60s to lwr 70s.

The upper-level low heads north into SE Canada Saturday
night/Sunday with additional spokes of energy rotating around
the base of the low. Timing/intensity of these features is tough
to judge but at this time cannot rule out at least lingering
low end pops (15-30%) during this time. Remaining partly to
mostly cloudy with below normal temps. Lows Saturday night from
the mid 40s to mid 50s. Highs Sunday in the mid/upr 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Trough aloft exits off the coast Sun night...w/ NW flow of
dry/cool air for Mon-Tue. By Wed...region to become sandwiched
between an storm off the coast and one taking shape invof mid MS
Valley. Moisture (and PoPs) expected to increase Wed into
Thu...as temperatures remain several deg F below normal.

Lows Sun/Mon nights 40 to 45F inland to around 50F at the
coast. Highs Mon/Tue ranging through the 60s. Lows Tue/Wed
nights from the m40s NW to the m50s SE. Highs Wed/Thu from the
m60s N to around 70F S.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Low pressure over the Ohio Valley will move slowly northeast into
western New York by Saturday morning. As a warm front lifts to the
north this morning...a cold front approaches from the west.
This cold front passes through the TAF sites today.

Widespread precipitation will break out during the next couple
hours and continue much of the morning before ending from the
west. Periods of degraded aviation conditions are likely mainly
due to ceilings and brief periods of IFR visibility due to
heavier precipitation.

Winds will be from the east and southeast with a few gusts
mainly near the coast. South winds today will gust to around 25
to 30 knots (except 20 to 25 knots at RIC).

OUTLOOK...Conditions improve tonight but scattered showers are
expected Saturday as an upper level low affects the Mid Atlantic
states. There will be a chance for showers Saturday and
Saturday night but aviation conditions will minimally impacted.
As high pressure builds in mainly dry and VFR conditions are
expected Sunday through Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Modest pressure falls of -8mb/6hr will support a SE wind of
20-25kt, with gusts up to 30kt for the ocean/Bay early this morning.
Low pressure pivots nwd into the Ern Great Lakes today into tonight
with an occluded front pushing across the coast this aftn. The wind
becomes SSE 20-25kt ahead of the front later this morning and then
becomes SW 15-25kt by later this aftn and continuing into tonight
and Saturday. Gale gusts remain a low prob within a WAA regime, and
will likely be confined to potential convection later this morning.
Seas build to 5-8ft with 3-5ft waves in the Bay. The timing on all
SCAs remains the same. The wind will become WNW and average 10-15kt
later Saturday into Sunday. Low pressure lingers well NE of the area
early next week as high pressure builds across the Southeast.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A gradual increase in tidal surge and anomaly will commence
today primarily across the middle/nrn Bay/lower Potomac as
modestly strong SSE flow continues. Tidal anomalies build to
1.0-1.2ft above normal for high tide late this morning/early
aftn for Lewisetta/Bishops Head/Cambridge, which should result
in water levels within 0.5ft of minor flood. Tidal anomalies
potentially reach ~1.5ft for high tide tonight as the flow
shifts to SSW, which could push Bishops Head/Cambridge into
minor flood. Water levels remain elevated into Saturday with
these locations potentially again within 0.5 ft of minor flood
thresholds. The wind becomes westerly Saturday night into
Sunday, which will allow for tidal anomalies to diminish.
