AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
307 AM EDT Fri Aug 20 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
A series of low pressure systems push across the region through
Friday night while a weak cold front slowly crosses the area.
These systems will usher in another period of unsettled weather
across the region tonight through Friday night, with additional
showers and thunderstorms expected and locally heavy rainfall
again possible. Drier weather looks to return early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 210 AM EDT Friday...
The main line of showers/storms has continued to consolidate
tonight in the Piedmont as it gradually propagates east. Locally
heavy rainfall and isolated Flash Flooding is the primary
threat.
The flash flood threat continues through Friday evening. The
upper trough axis crosses most of the area on Friday, while the
frontal boundary slowly crosses the area from N-S at the same
time. Expect deep-layer moisture to increase early Fri from the
SW. PWs are once again forecast to rise to aoa 2.0" across most
of the area. This combined with forcing from the approaching
upper trough (and sfc front sagging south) will be enough to
allow for an increase in shower/tstm coverage overnight
(especially north of I-64). Will ramp up PoPs to likely after
06z/2 AM for the NW half of the area. In fact, the 12z/19 HREF
has 10-30% probabilities for 3"/3 hours from 09-12z across our
nrn zones. Increasingly humid with lows in the low- mid 70s in
most areas. The highest shower/tstm coverage will slowly
progress SE through the day on Friday as the upper trough axis
pivots through the area while the sfc front moves south through
the area. Still think the best rain chances will be across E/SE
VA and NE NC Fri aftn into Fri evening before convection slowly
wanes late Fri evening-Fri night. Given the antecedent
conditions, the greatest areas of concern for flooding will be
in the RIC metro and nearby suburbs, in addition to the urban
areas of Hampton Roads. Highs Fri only in the upper 70s NW, low
80s in the RIC metro, and mid 80s SE.
Have issued a Flash Flood Watch from late tonight-early Fri evening
for the central VA Piedmont, VA Nrn Neck, and Lower MD Ern
Shore (except Worcester County) and went with a Watch from the
RIC metro, Hampton Roads, and portions of interior NE NC from
Friday morning-late Friday evening. The reason for leaving
certain areas out of the watch (far SW counties, Atlantic coast
of Ern Shore, coastal NE NC) was due to lower rain totals during
the previous 5 days (and thus higher FFGs). WPC has maintained
a Slight Risk for Excessive Rainfall across much of the area
from 12z Fri-12z Sat.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 340 PM EDT Thursday...
The upper trough axis is progged to remain near the coast on
Saturday, so expect isolated to scattered aftn/evening convection
across the area, with the highest chances near the coast. TC Henri
is forecast to turn northward this weekend as it gets picked up
by the upper trough, taking a track roughly parallel to the
Mid- Atlantic coast. The main impact locally will be an
increased rip current risk. Highs Sat in the mid-upper 80s. The
trough axis is progged to be near the coast or just offshore on
Sunday, with mainly isolated aftn/evening convection expected.
The severe threat with any convection appears low this weekend.
A bit warmer on Sun with highs around 90F.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Thursday...
Operational models/ensembles show the strong subtropical ridge to
remain centered over the srn Plains/wrn Gulf coast into next week.
This will keep our region in N to NW flow aloft (Henri potentially
comes very close to the New England coast by Monday). Will likely
see an elevated rip risk lingering into early next week.
As for precipitation chances, will show generally a low chance for
iso to widely sct diurnal showers and t-storms on Monday, as the
tropical moisture departs to the NE. A lesser opportunity for
showers and storms expected on Tuesday across the south. Models
diverge late in the period with the potential for an upper low to
form offshore and move northward into the region.
For temperatures, have generally run close to or just above the NBM
for highs and lows, based up the continued moisture and the recent
trend of overachieving on afternoon high temps. So have lows
generally in the upper 60s west to low to mid 70s east. For highs,
have readings generally in upper 80s/low 90s on Monday and push
temps a degree or two higher Tuesday and Wednesday. Given
uncertainty regarding the aforementioned upper low and associated
cloud cover/showers on Thursday, will knock a degree or two off
afternoon high temps, resulting in upper 80s across the region.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 205 AM EDT Friday...
VFR conditions early this morning will gradually deteriorate to
MVFR CIGs over the next several hours as a line of storms slowly
moves east. There is a low chance that RIC and/or SBY briefly
drop to IFR CIGs between 11-13z but confidence is too low at
this time to include for RIC. MVFR CIGs prevail through most of
the day inland (RIC/SBY) but may improve to VFR during the
afternoon in SE terminals outside of convection. Occasional
thunderstorms and widespread showers are expected through the
day with brief drops to IFR VIS possible in any heavier bands.
Low CIGs with MVFR/IFR conditions will be possible overnight
tonight.
Winds are generally light and variable early this morning, will
become NNE (except ECG where winds will be WNW) later this
morning through the early afternoon ~5 kt, and will gradually
shift to NE (E at ECG/ORF) by late this afternoon around 5-7 kt.
Outlook...Chances of mainly afternoon/early evening showers/tstms
continue Saturday, with diminishing chances Sunday and Monday. Late
night/early morning sub-VFR conditions are possible Friday night in
ST/SC and MIFG.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 305 AM EDT Friday...
A weak sfc boundary slowly crossing the local waters attm w/ winds
swinging from SSW (10-15 kt) to NW (aob 10 kt). Winds becoming
ENE by late today and continuing into Sat. NNW winds are expected
late Sat into Sun (maybe to 15-20 kt on the ocean) as TC tracks
N well E of the coast. Seas will be slowly increasing into the
weekend...and will avg 4-7 ft S-N w/ swell/period increasing.
Waves on the bay generally 1-2 ft...though 3 ft psbl for a time
tonight into Sat night. Seas will slowly subside Sun and Sun
night with most areas back down to 3-4 ft by Monday morning.
Waves will stay 1-2 ft.
With increased swell/seas associated with TC offshore will hold
onto high risk of rip currents today/Sat.
