AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
1044 AM EDT Fri Sep 6 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Dorian will track northeast along the Outer Banks
today before lifting northeast and away from the area tonight.
High pressure builds into the area this weekend. A weak cold
front moves into the area late Sunday.

Dorian will bring significant impacts over much of our area
today and through Saturday. Refer to the National Hurricane
Center for the latest forecasts on Dorian.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1000 AM EDT Friday...

Hurricane Dorian made landfall at HAT this morning with the
center now emerging out back out into the Atlantic. This trend
will continue into the aftrn hours. Bands of hvy rainfall
continue to rotate in from the ocean along the coast with the
heaviest rainfall across sern VA / nern NC. These areas are
currently in flash flood warnings. Winds gusting well into the
tropical storm range near the water. To the west, appears drier
air on west side of stsym is quickly cutting off the stdy rainfall
with only sct shwrs noted as far west as the I95 corridor. Main
adjustment to the grids this morn was to drop mention of
thunder, especially as the center continues to shift offshore,
although there still could be some thunder offshore. Tapered off
and ended pcpn chcs across the west as the day wears on. Could
very well see some prtl sun across the wrn most zones late.
Winds still expected to increase over the next few hrs inland
behind the departing systm. Highs in the 70s, except near 80 far
west where some sun is psbl.

Still expect a couple more inches of rainfall along the sern
coast ovr the next svrl hrs.

PVS DSCN:
Rain pushes offshore this evening, as the deepest moisture
departs. Clearing after midnight west to east along with
diminishing winds. Undercut guidance some, especially out
west...but well-mixed atmosphere should keep temps from falling
too far. Lows in the upper 50s to low 60s out west of RIC and
northern neck...to near 70 se.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 420 AM EDT Friday...

Mostly sunny Sat as high pressure builds into the area. Highs
80-85. Fair/pt cloudy and cooler Sat night. Lows upr 50s nw to
upr 60s se. A weak cold front crosses the area Sun with a few
showers along it over the se during the aftn. Pt sunny for now.
Highs low to mid 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Tuesday...

The front settles across the Carolinas early next week with
high pressure to the north. Onshore flow keeps enough moisture
across the area for 20-30 PoPs each period Mon/Tue. Any thunder
will be confined to the aftn. Highs both days upr 70s- lwr 80s.
Lows in the 60s to around 70 se.

Dry to start out Wed but added slgt chc PoPs to the western half of
fa due to increasing moisture ahead of the next frontal bndry.
Warmer with highs in the mid 80s west of the bay, upr 70s-lwr
80s near the water. Lows Wed night in the upr 60s-lwr 70s.

Sct convection continues into Thurs as the front is slow to move
south. Highs mid 80s west of the bay, 80-85 near the water.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 620 AM EDT Friday...

VRB CIGS (mainly MVFR) through today w/ gusty ENE winds
(highest in SE VA-NE NC where gusts are expected to be aoa
45-50 kt) become NNW (late in the afternoon/evening...while
slowly diminishing tonight). SHRAs (even ISOLD tstms in far SE
VA/NE NC) will have +RA resulting in VSBYs dropping to/blo 2sm.
VFR conditions tonight/Sat as Dorian pulls well away from the
area. SCT SHRAs return early next week as a front stalls over
the area.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 345 AM EDT Friday...

Hurricane Warnings are now in effect for the waters of NE NC
northward to Parramore Island, with Tropical Storm Warnings in
effect for the Ches Bay and remaining coastal waters.

Seas continue to build this morning with 10-15 ft noted across the
southern waters and 5-8 ft north of the VA/NC border. Seas will
continue increasing to 15-20 ft by midday today. Waves in the bay
are building to around 5 ft and will continue increasing to 5-9 ft
(highest south) into the early afternoon before slowly subsiding
this evening. Winds are also on the increase this morning as
Hurricane Dorian continues northeastward from Cape Lookout
toward Cape Hatteras. Tropical storm force (mainly ENE-NE)
winds will continue to spread northward through the morning,
with tropical storm force winds persisting into this evening for
at least a portion of the marine area as Dorian pulls offshore
and winds turn to the N then NNW. Hurricane Dorian will begin
acquiring some extratropical characteristics due to its
interaction with a weak stalled cold front and a strong upper
level jet, resulting in a modest expansion of the wind field. As
a result, the highest wind gusts will likely come on the back
side of the storm (likely from the mid-morning through aftn
hours today) as winds shift from the NE to NNW due to
drier/cooler air wrapping in behind the system...promoting
mixing of higher winds aloft over the waters. Model consensus
has 925mb winds of 55-75 kt (highest S) on the back side of the
storm. Therefore, expect a few gusts approaching/potentially
exceeding hurricane-force across the srn coastal waters from
Parramore Island to the VA-NC border on the back side of the
storm. Gusts to 65-75 kt are expected over the waters S of the
VA-NC border. Will continue to mention the tropical storm
conditions in the Ches Bay and northern coastal waters, with
hurricane conditions in the Currituck Sound and coastal waters
south of Parramore Island. Marine interests are strongly
encouraged to continue monitoring the latest conditions as
significant impacts unfold across the marine area.

Winds/seas slowly diminish from tonight into the weekend as Dorian
moves away from the area. However, seas will likely remain aoa SCA
thresholds through Saturday night while winds remain aoa 20 kt over
the Ches Bay/25 kt over the ocean through early Saturday morning.
Sub-SCA conditions return on Sunday. A cold front potentially
crosses the waters early next week, but conditions will most likely
be sub-SCA with the FROPA.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 1045 AM EDT Friday...

A Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for the Northern Neck,
Accomack VA, and Worcester MD as minor flooding is expected
during the next high tide this aftn and early evening. Moderate
to major coastal flooding is expected Fri for locations
adjacent to the lower Bay/coastal waters S of Parramore Island
where either a Storm Surge Warning (or a Coastal Flood Warning)
is now in effect due to the potential for 2-4 feet of inundation
above ground.

A Coastal Flood Watch will remain as a buffer just N of the
Storm Surge Warning for areas from the northern Neck, Accomack
VA, and along the ocean on the lower MD eastern shore where
there is the potential for minor to locally moderate coastal
during high tide later tonight/early Saturday morning.

Moderate coastal flooding is increasingly likely during high
tide Saturday evening/Saturday night for the Bay-side of the MD
Ern Shore, nrn Accomack County (on the Bay-side), and srn shore
of the Potomac.
