AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
101 PM EST Tue Jan 9 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
A very strong low pressure system is expected to track from the
middle Mississippi Valley into the Upper Great Lakes today, bringing
widespread moderate to heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the area
today into tonight. Another strong low pressure system will impact
the area Friday into Friday night.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1110 AM EST Tuesday...
High pressure is now well offshore ahead of approaching strong
low pressure (988mb) over southern IL. Surface analysis shows a
warm front poised to move northward over the region this
afternoon. Rounds of moderate rain will continue to move into
the FA through the day and into the evening. Radar trends show
some breaks in the widespread rainfall over the SE half of the
area.
SE winds will steadily increase today as the pressure gradient
rapidly tightens in advance of the low. Winds will average 20-35
mph by late this afternoon with gusts to 40-60 mph (highest
near the coast) behind the warm front lifting N through the
day. Winds become S this evening ahead of an approaching cold
front with the strongest winds expected during this time (ahead
of and along the cold front). A High Wind Warning remains in
effect for the all zones adjacent to the Atlantic coast and Ches
Bay in addition to Chowan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, and Camden
in NE NC and Chesapeake in VA. A Wind Advisory remains in effect
for the remainder of the FA except for the central VA Piedmont
from Louisa-Farmville (where confidence is lower). Temps rise
into the upper 50s N to low-mid 60s S late this afternoon into
this evening with the warmest temps during the evening just
ahead of the cold front.
The greatest impacts in terms of both wind and heavy rainfall will
likely occur between 5 PM and midnight as the trailing cold front
rapidly approaches and crosses the area from west to east. Expect a
3-6 hour period of moderate-heavy rain during this timeframe (with
the potential for a thin convective QLCS line along the cold front).
A quick 1 to potentially 2 inches of rain, with locally higher
amounts will be possible with this QLCS. Storm total rainfall of
generally 1.5-2.0" with locally higher totals is expected across the
FA with perhaps slightly lower totals in NE NC. Given the wet
antecedent conditions, have maintained a Flood Watch for all areas
except NE NC. The precip ends/moves off the coast by 11 PM-1 AM, as
winds turn to the W-SW following a cold FROPA (but remain breezy
with 30-45 mph gusts expected). Lows temps by Wed morning range from
the mid-upper 30s W to the mid 40s E.
Additionally, while the guidance continues to indicate that the
vast majority of any sfc-based instability remains to our
south/southwest, CAMs do show the potential for a narrow band of
100- 500 J/kg of MLCAPE to advect into the FA (except the
Eastern Shore) this evening. Given very long, looping hodographs
(0-1 SRH of 300- 400+ m2/s2) and very strong winds just above
the sfc (65-75 kt at 925 mb), this HSLC environment may be
enough for at least isolated severe (60-70+ mph) gusts within
the strongly forced QLCS just ahead of the cold front. A brief
tornado or two will also be possible (embedded within the QLCS
and likely rain-wrapped if they occur). SPC has expanded the
Marginal Risk (level 1/5) N to include all of the local area
except our MD counties with a Slight Risk (level 2/5) across S
VA/NE NC where confidence in higher instability is a bit higher
and where 00z CAMs have shown some helicity tracks. The severe
threat ends by 11 PM-1 AM as the QLCS moves offshore. Regardless
of severe storms, the synoptic winds combined with the heavy
rain have the potential to bring down a few trees across the
area.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 405 AM EST Tuesday...
High pressure builds in (centered over the Gulf of Mexico) Wed
before moving off the SE coast on Thu. This will allow for dry
weather and warming temperatures with highs in the upper 40s NW to
lower 50s SE Wed and low-mid 50s Thu. Lows will still be seasonal in
the upper 20s NW to mid 30s SE Wed night and mid-upper 20s NW to low-
mid 30s SE Thu night.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 435 AM EST Tuesday...
With the high off the SE coast, a ridge rapidly builds over the E
coast Fri while a trough moves into the MS Valley before taking on a
negative tilt. This rapid increase in baroclinicity will allow for
yet another low pressure system to undergo rapid cyclogenesis and
deepen from ~996mb over AR Fri morning to ~980 mb (or lower) over
the OH Valley/Great Lakes Sat morning. As such, a strong cold front
from the system will move through the FA Fri night with moderate to
heavy rain and windy conditions once again expected from Fri
afternoon into Fri night. Highs Fri (and probably Sat as well) will
occur Fri night with temps rising into the upper 50s to low-mid 60s.
The heaviest showers will occur Fri night ahead of the cold front
with highest totals across N portions of the FA (0.75-1.0"+) and
lower totals S. Additionally, models show a few hundred J/kg of
MLCAPE to push into the FA Fri night which combined with an enhanced
wind field and high SRH will allow for at least isolated severe
potential with any storms that may develop. SPC has a D5 Slight Risk
(level 2/5) extending through central NC and into Mecklenburg. Would
not be surprised if a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) gets introduced
further N in future updates. The main threat once again is damaging
winds and isolated tornadoes. The rain ends from SW to NE Fri night
behind the cold front with lows Sat morning in the lower 40s W to
upper 40s to lower 50s E.
Colder air finally moves in to the area behind this system by around
Sun and remains through the week. Mainly dry conditions are expected
Sat-Sun night. However, ensembles show a trough moving into the E
coast Mon into early Wed with some deterministic and ensemble
support for a low developing in response. Details remain uncertain
regarding location of any low development and even if a low develops
at all. As such, have used NBM PoPs and temperatures for this
timeframe which show a potential for rain/snow during the Mon-Tue
timeframe (max PoP of 30-40% Mon night). Will need to get closer to
the event and allow models to get a better handle on the trough
before confidence can increase on ptype. As such, confidence during
this time is low in p-type/temperatures and moderate in at least
some moisture falling.
Highs in the upper 40s W to upper 50s E Sat, lower 40s NW to upper
40s SE Sun, lower 40s NW to mid 50s SE Mon, and upper 30s NW to
around 50F SE Tue. Lows in the low-mid 20s NW to around 30F SE Sat
night, mid 20s NW to around 30F SE Sun night, and mid 20s NW to mid
30s SE Mon night.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1255 PM EST Tuesday...
Deteriorating flying conditions this afternoon with IFR CIGs
noted along and west of I-95. KRIC has been hovering around
MVFR/IFR, will show prevailing MVFR but brief reductions to IFR
will remain possible this afternoon. Heavier rainfall moves into
the region late this afternoon into the evening with IFR
CIGs/VSBY accompanying the strongly forced line of
showers/storms that moves through from W to E this evening with
gusty winds. Have maintained VCTS wording to account for this
potential. This line will drive CIGs to IFR across the terminals
before CIGs improve to MVFR/VFR behind the front tonight as
drier air moves in. SE winds are generally 15-25 kt with gusts
25-30 kt.
Winds become SE 20-25 kt with gusts to 40 kt inland and 45-50
kt along the coast later this afternoon. The strongest winds
are expected late this afternoon into this evening as the LLJ
ramps up ahead of the front. Winds shift to S this evening ahead
of the cold front before becoming SW 15-20 kt with gusts to
25-35 kt behind the front tonight. Winds will be very strong
aloft due to a strengthening SE LLJ with strong LLWS expected
to continue into the evening.
Outlook: Conditions improve Wed as drier air moves in behind the
strong low pressure system.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 340 AM EST Tuesday...
Latest analysis reveals 1032+mb sfc high pressure now offshore
of the Delmarva, and extending north into Quebec. To the west,
potent low pressure continues to rapidly deepen over the mid-
Missouri River Valley. Winds are mainly easterly ~10-15 kt
across the marine area. Seas 3-4 ft, waves 1-2 ft.
Elizabeth City,
Bottom line up front: An intensifying storm system will bring a
myriad of hazardous boating conditions to the region later today
and tonight. Local wind probs and DESI/Grand Ensembles each
showing storm force gusts developing over the coastal waters
and Chesapeake Bay late today and this evening, with the worst
conditions still expected from ~21z-03z (4-10pm) late this
afternoon through around midnight tonight/early Wednesday.
The coastal front currently draped across the Carolinas will
lift north across our area later this morning. This will veer
winds to the SSE late this morning and this afternoon, with
winds increasing to 20-25 kt, with stronger winds of 25-30 kt
developing by early to mid afternoon. Winds intensify further
late this afternoon and this evening, in SSE flow ahead of the
approaching system. Winds veer to the SSW and eventually W-SW
late tonight into Wed morning as the cold front crosses the
region.
Additionally, there could be convection that could tap into
very impressive h925 winds of 80-90+ kt, bringing stronger
wind gusts to the surface. Southerly wind events are usually
notorious for poor mixing, typically owing to cooler SST.
However, given the fast movement of this very dynamic system,
along with strong pressure falls of 12- 14+mb over 6hr from
late this afternoon through late tonight, and embedded convective
elements likely tapping into potent stronger winds aloft, it
all adds up to increasingly dangerous conditions across the
marine area this afternoon through early Wed morning. Storm
Warnings are in effect for the Atlantic coastal waters,
Chesapeake Bay, Currituck Sound, and lower James River. Gale
Warnings remain in effect for the upper tidal rivers.
Remaining breezy to windy Wednesday in the wake of the system,
with Gale Force gusts likely continuing in at least the
afternoon hours for the coastal waters and elevated sites across
the Chesapeake Bay. SCA conditions then linger into early
Wednesday night for wind and potentially through Thursday for
seas in excess of 5 feet. A brief period of quieter conditions
return Thursday as high pressure briefly returns. Another storm
system approaches the waters later Friday into Saturday,
bringing the potential for Gale force winds and building seas
back to the region Friday night into Saturday.
Seas also rapidly build to dangerous levels with the strong
SE/SSE flow, with seas quickly building to 10-15 ft nearshore
and 15-20+ ft at 10-12 second periods farther offshore late
tonight into Wed morning.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 340 AM EST Tuesday...
Tidal anomalies are expected to quickly rise this afternoon
into Wednesday morning, due to strong south to southeast winds
ahead of a potent low pressure system. Latest guidance continues
to highlight areas along the northern Chesapeake Bay,
especially southern MD, for the greatest potential for coastal
flooding (at least initially) as water gets quickly funneled up
the Chesapeake Bay. It is now appearing more likely that major
coastal flooding will occur with levels similar to just below
what we saw in October 2021. Significant coastal flooding is
appearing more likely at Cambridge, Bishops Head, and Cambridge
MD with the high tide this evening, coinciding with the window
of strongest winds ahead of the crossing cold frontal passage.
With winds remaining strong out of the SSW, tides remain
elevated into Moderate to Major flood stage for the next tidal
cycle as well (Wednesday AM) over the bay side of the Maryland
eastern shore. A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect for
locations along the Tidal Potomac as well where we will see
moderate tidal flooding during high tide late this evening.
Additionally, we are greatly concerned for significant sound-
side flooding along the northern Albemarle Sound, Currituck
Sound, Back Bay in VA and adjacent tidal waterways. Latest ETSS
guidance continues to show moderate flooding along the
Pasquotank River near Elizabeth city. However, SE VA/NE NC may
see breaks in the rain between late this morning and early this
afternoon. In addition, with the PETSS showing major flooding
tomorrow evening. As a result, Coastal Flood Warnings remain in
effect for coastal northeast North Carolina and southern
portions of the city of Virginia Beach, VA.
Finally, nearshore waves in excess of 10 feet will likely lead to
significant beach and dune erosion through Wednesday. High Surf
Advisories remain in effect for all area Atlantic Beaches.
