AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
735 PM EDT Tue Sep 29 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front crosses the area tonight. Drier conditions return
by Wednesday and Thursday. Another cold front crosses the area
Thursday night into Friday, with cool and dry conditions
expected for the first part of the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
As of 730 PM EDT Tuesday...
Front and assctd line of convection crossing the Piedmont and
will cross the 95 corridor over the next 1-3 hrs, then head
towards the coast by midnight. Nothing severe reported thru this
writing. CAMS cont to show a broken line of convective elements
as they move east. Data also showing the front picking up speed
towards the coast by midnite as well. Decent area of rain progged
behind it for a few hrs before tapering off to some ligt shwrs
across the west after midnite. Locally hvy downpours and some
minor flooding issues are still possible. Lows in the lwr 50s nw
to lwr 60s se.
PVS DSCN:
Late afternoon wx analysis reveals a deep upper trough stretching
from the Hudson bay south to the Gulf Coast that continues to
propagate to the east. There is a well-defined shortwave moving ENE
toward the OH Valley. Sfc low pressure is centered over Ontario,
with a cold front extending to the piedmont of VA/NC (west of the
CWA) and all the way down to the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A
secondary area of low pressure is starting to develop from south-
central VA to nrn SC (to our SW). The main swath of pcpn associated
with the front is still a few counties west of the CWA but is
progged to reach the wrn CWA border by 6 PM. Scattered to numerous
showers (w/ isolated lightning strikes) continue across ern VA, NE
NC, and the Lower Ern Shore. These showers over ern portions of the
CWA will likely continue for the next few hours, but may diminish
some before the main area of pcpn (associated w/ the cold front)
approaches. There have been localized reports of 1-2" of rain across
ern VA/NE NC today, but areal average amounts have been closer to
0.5".
The aforementioned secondary low becomes the main sfc low which will
pass across the local area from this evening (W of I-95) to the
coast (later this evening/overnight). This period will be when the
best combination of stronger lift and deeper moisture affects the
region with a more widespread heavy rainfall. The aforementioned
cold front is expected to enter far wrn portions of the area by ~6
PM, and will quickly move to the east (likely moving offshore of the
CWA by 2-3 AM). In addition, SPC has expanded the marginal risk of
severe wx to include all of the CWA (except the far NE). Still think
that the best chc of severe wx will be across SE VA/NE NC, where a
south-southwesterly low level (950-850 mb) jet expected to increase
to 40-50 kt by mid-late evening. Any of the storms along/just ahead
of the front will be capable of producing isolated strong (but
mainly sub-severe) wind gusts that will likely result in a few
downed trees (especially given the wet antecedent conditions). There
is also a minimal (but nonzero) tornado risk given strong shear and
potentially some local backing of the low level wind fields given
the sfc low development over the interior Carolinas. The most likely
spot for a brief, spin-up tornado to occur is in SE VA/NE NC. The
severe wx threat will end after the front crosses the area.
PoPs will increase to 90-100% all zones at some point from 22z
through 03z (from W to E), aided by strong lift from an impressive
~160-180 kt upper-level jet streak to our NNW (on the E side of the
trough). Our area will be situated in the RRQ of the aforementioned
jet streak (which is one of the regions favorable for large-scale
ascent) during this timeframe. Given PWAT values in excess of 1.75"
in most areas along with a nearly unidirectional S flow there will
be training storms and the threat for flooding. At this point, the
more progressive nature of the system as a whole will lead to
additional QPF amounts that will avg 1 to 2" across the area rather
than the 3-4" the models suggested 36-48 hrs ago. Generally, the
highest QPF is in the E/SE, but localized amounts in excess of 2"
will possible just about anywhere in the CWA. There will likely be
some urban/poor drainage flooding this evening-tonight (especially
across SE VA/NE NC). A few instances of flash flooding cannot be
ruled out, but am not expecting the flash flood threat to be
widespread enough to warrant a watch. PoPs rapidly diminish after 5-
6 AM with just slight chc-chc PoPs near the coast by 12z Wed.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 350 PM EDT Tuesday...
High pressure builds over the Gulf coast states on Wed in the wake
of the front, and the flow at the sfc becomes more WSW.
This will lead to clearing skies/dry conditions. Will continue to go
a couple of degrees higher than the blends for highs Wed given sunny
skies/decent WSW flow. Expect mainly dry wx, cooler conditions, and
lower humidity to continue through much of Thu before a secondary
cold front crosses the area late Thu-Thu night. Aloft, a shortwave
trough will approach the area late Thu and track near or just N of
the area on Fri. There is a low (15-30%) chc of showers across
mainly the nrn two-thirds of the area Thu aftn/spreading E Thu night
as the secondary front approaches. 15-30% PoPs for showers continue
through 18z Fri before pcpn chances end by evening (as the shortwave
trough exits the area).
Forecast highs on Wed are generally in the low to mid 70s. Low temps
Wednesday night will range from near 50F NW to the upper 50s close
to the coast. Highs Thu in the upper 70s SE to the lower-mid 70s NW.
Lows Thu night range from near 50F NW to around 60F SE. Cooler
behind the front on Fri with highs mainly in the mid 60s-around
70F.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 350 PM EDT Tuesday...
A broad trough aloft will be dominant from ern Canada to the ern
CONUS through the medium range period...resulting in mainly dry and
cool wx through at least the weekend. High pressure builds toward
the local area Fri night...allowing for mainly clear/cool conditions
with lows in the 40s over much of the local area, with 50s along the
coast. The high is progged to settle over the region on Sat with
mainly sunny skies and cool temperatures with highs of 65-70F.
Continued cool Sat night with lows in the 40s over much of the
interior again, with 50s at the coast.
Models diverge in their solutions for the latter part of the medium
range period (late Sun-Tue). The models remain in agreement with
respect to persistent ridging off the SE CONUS coast. However, there
are notable disagreements with respect to the evolution of of a
sharpening upstream shortwave trough that is progged to track from
the central CONUS eastward to the Mid-Atlantic region from Sunday-
early next week. The GFS is faster and more progressive with the
shortwave and forecasts it to remain an open wave (w/ limited
moisture) as it crosses the local area on Mon.
The ECMWF forms it into an upper low near the MS River Valley Sun
night and tracks it ENE into the OH Valley by Mon PM before finally
tracking directly to our N Monday night. The ECMWF also has a
stronger surface low nearby on Mon/Mon night as well, with much more
in the way of moisture/rain in the area than the GFS. Regardless,
Sun will likely remain dry (except across SE VA/NE NC late in the
day). For now, will have slight chc-chc PoPs from Sun night-Mon
night to account for the uncertainty. Will still not go anywhere
near as wet as the ECMWF at this point, but will continue to monitor
model trends in the coming days. Highs Sun/Mon mainly in the upper
60s-low 70s, with overnight lows generally in the 50s (w/ upper 40s
NW).
&&
.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 730 PM EDT Tuesday...
Cold front and assctd line of convection now moving east across
the Piedmont and should apprch RIC by 01Z. Shwrs were sct out
ahead of it in the warm/humid airmass with little if any thunder.
CIGS mainly VFR along the coast with IFR/MVFR well inland. Expect
CIGS to quickly lower (IFR most areas by midnite) once the front
and pcpn arrive over the next svrl hrs. Only place thunder was
added was RIC (per current radar trends). VSBYS will also lower
to IFR in any hvy downpours and areas of rain behing the bndry.
The front is progged to clr the coast by morning with rapid clearing
behind it. Look for CIGS to quickly improve to VFR Wed morning.
Outlook..
VFR conditions through Thu. Another front crosses the area Thu
night-Fri AM (bringing a low chc of SHRAs). Dry/VFR Fri evening
through Sunday AM.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 350 PM EDT Tuesday...
A strong cold front is approaching from the west this aftn,
with an area of low pressure developing along the boundary. The wind
is S 10-15kt this aftn, with seas of 3-4ft. The pressure gradient
tightens late this aftn into early evening as the cold front
continues to approach from the W and as the low tracks NNE along the
boundary. The wind is expected to become SSE 15-25kt, with a few
gusts to ~30kt over the ocean. The cold front is expected to cross
the coast late this evening into the early overnight hours. The wind
is expected to shift to NW 15-25kt with a surge immediately behind
the front. The wind may actually diminish for a few hours, then
become WNW 15-20kt around sunrise Wednesday. Seas build to 4-5ft S
to 5-7ft N tonight, with 2-3ft waves in the Bay. High pressure
builds across the Southeast Wednesday and the wind will diminish to
10-15kt and gradually become WSW. Seas subside to 2-3ft S by aftn,
and mainly 3-4ft N, with some seas lingering ~5ft out near 20nm.
SCAs for the Bay run through 10am Wednesday, through 7am Wednesday
for the Sound, and ending from S to N for the ocean later Wednesday
morning through early evening. The rivers are generally expected to
have sub-SCA conditions, with the exception of a brief period of a
NW wind of 15-20kt immediately behind the front.
High pressure slides off the Southeast coast Wednesday night and
Thursday with the wind becoming SW 10-15kt Wednesday night into
Thursday morning, then light and sea-breeze dominated for a period
of time Thursday aftn. Another cold front approaches from the W
Thursday evening, and slides across the coast Thursday night. The
wind wind is forecast to become NNW 15-20kt late Thursday night into
Friday morning, with SCA conditions likely for at least the Bay.
High pressure builds into the region Saturday and Sunday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 350 PM EDT Tuesday...
A SSE wind will likely result in a modest surge through the the
middle of the Bay this evening, and then a wind shift to NW
will push this water toward the Bay-side of the MD Ern Shore
during high tide from around midnight tonight into the overnight
hours. Water levels will approach minor flood levels and a
Coastal Flood Statement has been issued.
