AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
346 PM EDT Mon Aug 19 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
Scattered showers and storms are expected this afternoon into
this evening ahead of a cold front. Cooler and drier conditions
are expected from tonight through late next week as high
pressure builds to the north of the local area under a trough
aloft. A gradual warming trend with dry weather is expected from
late week into early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
As of 345 PM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
- Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected this
afternoon into this evening with a Marginal Risk (level 1/5)
for severe weather.
- Localized flood is also possible.
Afternoon sfc analysis depicts a cold front just offshore the VA
coastline, extending SW into the NC coastline. Aloft, an upper
level trough (strong for this time of year) remains over the
Eastern CONUS today. The trough will nudge eastward with
shortwave energy at its flank. This will help push a secondary
cold front through the area later this afternoon into tonight.
The synoptic forcing from these features will allow for the
widespread showers and thunderstorms developing this afternoon
into this evening. Widespread showers and storms have already
formed and are expected to move E through the afternoon and into
this evening. Regarding the risk of severe, mesoanalysis has
2000-2500 J/kg of SBCAPE across the area with steep low level
lapse rates around 8C and modest mid level lapse rates of
5.5-6C. However, shear is quite low (only 20-25 kt). Given these
factors, a few gusts may be severe (due mainly to the steep low
level lapse rates). However, with the convection occuring
within the mainly W sfc flow behind a cold front, severe
conditions will likely be isolated with widespread gusty winds
on the order of 30-45 mph more likely. SPC has placed the entire
FA in a marginal risk (1/5) with the primary threat being
damaging wind gusts. QPF will generally range from 0.5-1.0" with
higher amounts >1.0" possible (best chance in the Hampton Roads
area). Will note that the 12z HREF has a 50-70% chance for 1"
of rain across nearly the entire area and a localized 10% chance
for 3" in 3 hrs along the coast (including the Hampton Roads
area). Given the widespread heavy rain over the past couple of
days E of I-95 (1.5-2.5" widespread with localized totals of
2.5-5"), localized flash flooding is possible (particularly in
the Hampton Roads area). WPC has a marginal risk for Excessive
Rainfall across most of the are (N of the VA/NE border). Any
showers/storms move offshore this evening as the secondary cold
front pushes in with drier air pushing in. Still warm and fairly
humid today with highs in the mid- upper 80s (near 90F in
spots) and dew points in the upper 60s-low 70s. Lows tonight are
expected to range from around 60F NW (some locations may drop
into the upper 50s) to the mid-upper 60s SE under clearing
skies. Additionally, cannot rule out a few isolated bay effect
showers overnight and into Tue morning.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 345 PM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
-Cooler, drier weather is expected Tuesday and Wednesday
The weather shifts to a more fall-like pattern for mid week. An
upper level low closes off over the E Great Lakes/interior New
England as the trough deepens over the East Coast. Meanwhile, a
large area of strong high pressure at the sfc will gradually build
into the FA from the upper Midwest. The combination of these
features will result in amazing August weather conditions with highs
in the upper 70s to around 80F both Tue and Wed (Wed might not get
out of the 70s for most). Meanwhile, dew points drop into the lower
50s N to lower 60s S Tue and upper 40s to lower 50s for most (mid-
upper 50s in NE NC) on Wed. The low humidity and cool temps will
even be accompanied by mostly sunny skies (apart from bay effect
stratocu and some partly cloudy skies across the SW portion of
the FA Tue). To get a cold enough airmass aloft to get bay
effect clouds in August is quite impressive. With high pressure
overhead, clear skies (apart from clouds lingering across the SW
Piedmont Tue night), and little to no wind, efficient
radiational cooling conditions are expected overnight.
Therefore, am undercutting guidance for lows Tue night/Wed
morning and especially Wed night/Thu morning. Lows in the lower
50s N to around 60F S are expected Tue night/Wed morning and
lower 50s for most inland areas with mid 50s in urban areas and
lower 60s along the immediate coast Wed night/Thu morning. Would
not be surprised if some areas (particularly Louisa) dropped
into the upper 40s Wed night! See climate section for more
information on record lows.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 345 PM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
-Dry weather continues into early next week.
-A gradual warmup is expected by next weekend.
The upper level trough remains over the area through Thu before
moving offshore. Behind it, a large ridge builds across the central
CONUS with some weaker extension into SE Canada from late week into
the weekend. Meanwhile, the sfc high remains centered over the local
area before beginning to slide offshore late this weekend into early
next week. This will keep things dry through the extended. It will
also allow for a gradual warming trend with highs in the lower 80s
Thu, low-mid 80s Fri, mid 80s Sat, upper 80s Sun, and upper 80s to
lower 90s Mon. Lows also gradually warm with temps in the mid 50s
inland with upper 50s in urban areas and mid 60s along the coast Thu
night, upper 50s to lower 60s for most (upper 60s along the coast)
Fri and Sat nights, mid to upper 60s Sun night, and mid to upper 60s
with around 70F along the coast Mon night.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 145 PM Monday...
SCT-BKN CU increase in coverage later this afternoon with
scattered showers and thunderstorms developing and moving E
into the early this evening. This convection may bring
additional restrictions to terminals with IFR VIS and gusty
winds possible. Any shower or storms taper off before midnight
apart from an isolated bay effect shower which will remain
possible along the coast overnight. Clouds clear overnight with
CU development possible inland Tue afternoon and bay effect
stratocu likely lingering into Tue afternoon. Winds remain
WNW/W through the afternoon at 5-10 kt, becoming NW/NNW
overnight into Tue. Winds may increase to ~10 kt with gusts
15-20 kt at SBY Tue afternoon.
Outlook: Primarily VFR conditions are expected to prevail
through the rest of the week as high pressure builds in to the
N.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 300 PM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
- A rather strong cold front for August is expected to cross the
Mid-Atlantic coast tonight into early Tuesday, with Small
Craft Advisories in effect for the Bay.
Much cooler and drier air will filter in from the NW by this
evening. Good mixing is expected as rather cool air (by August
standards) moves over the warm waters, leading to a NNW surge of
15-20kt with higher gusts for the Ches Bay. As such, SCAs remain
in effect tonight for all Bay zones. Winds diminish during the
day Tuesday, but there may be an additional surge Tuesday night
since the sfc high is still centered off to the NW of the local
area. Strong high pressure then centers near the region late in
the week, and will bring onshore flow at 5-10 kt for northern
zones and 10-15kt across the southern waters.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 300 PM EDT Monday...
Key Message:
- A High Risk of Rip Currents continues through this evening with
nearshore waves of 3-4 ft combined with long period swell
averaging 10 to 12 seconds.
- Moderate Risk of Rip Currents Tuesday and Wednesday as long
period swell will still average 8-10 seconds.
Water levels for much of the local area will remain elevated for
the next high tide cycle late this evening and overnight (action
stage). A few locations may get close to reaching minor flood
stage, specifically at Ocean City and also along the Ches Bay
side of the lower Eastern Shore from Bayford, VA north to
Bishops Head, MD.
