AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
1047 AM EDT Mon Apr 7 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and isolated thunderstorms push into the area today into
tonight as a meandering frontal boundary slowly clears the
area late today and tonight. Much cooler temperatures are
expected for Tuesday and Wednesday, with below freezing temperatures
likely Tuesday night away from the immediate coast. Near normal
temperatures will prevail from mid to late week, with another
chance for showers on Friday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1030 AM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
- Widespread rainfall persists across the area today into
tonight.
- There is a Marginal Risk of excessive rainfall through this
evening.
- There is a conditional severe weather threat across SE VA into
NE NC this afternoon, with portions of NE NC upgraded to
Slight Risk (15% for wind). Main threat would be damaging
winds, but a brief tornado (2% probs) cannot be altogether
ruled out.
Latest Sfc analysis shows the frontal boundary draped from about
Danville to Williamsburg late this morning. Temperatures range
from the 70s over far SE VA and NE NC (upper 70s along the
Albemarle sound), to the upper 40s across the MD eastern shore
and northern piedmont. Widespread moderate to locally heavy
rainfall continues, primarily along and to the NNW of the sfc
boundary, with just a few showers to the south.
Aloft, a SW to WSW flow is in place, transporting deep moisture
from the Gulf into the local area. In addition, an upper level
jet (~180 kt at 250 mb), extends from northern New England back
to the SW across the OH Valley, which will eventually place the
local area into the favorable RRQ upper divergent zone. Plenty
of moisture will be in place to support moderate to heavy rain
given PWATs surging to 1.5-1.7. The main axis of the rain
remains along the boundary and to the north, with little more
than a few showers across far SE VA and NE NC until mid-late
aftn, as the front gradually shifts SE into tonight. The severe
threat is minimal on the cool side of the boundary. Inverted-V
look to soundings do portend a bit of a gusty/damaging winds
issue where we can get any clearing and modest destabilization.
A Marginal Risk from SPC remains in place for southern VA, with
a small area of a Slight Risk over most of NE NC (upgrade to 15%
for wind) given less precip and highs near 80F through mid/late
aftn. This are in particular, will need to be monitored into
early evening ahead of the front for a wind threat.
Storm total QPF calls for a widespread 1.5- 2" with locally
higher amounts up to ~3" possible. The 00z/7 HREF probability-
matched- mean is still showing enhanced probabilities (30-50%)
for 1-2" of rain in 3-hrs from late this morning into the
afternoon across south central and SE VA from FKN to Va Beach
and into adjacent NE NC. Antecedent dry conditions should
preclude any widespread significant flooding issues, but usual
issues in urban and poor drainage/flood-prone areas remain a
good possibility, especially with potentially heavy downpours
across Hampton Roads. The WPC also has much of the area (south
of a Farmville- Richmond-Melfa line) in a Day 1 Marginal ERO. A
tight temperature gradient will be maintained tonight and
tomorrow. Highs only in the upper 40s/lower 50s for the
northern sections of the FA, with mid 70s across southside
Hampton Roads and around 80F for NE NC. Many locations will
likely see a non- diurnal cool down during the afternoon as the
front and steadier rain shifts back south.
Cold 1028+mb high pressure and an UL trough will build east
tonight, nudging the front offshore late. They will also usher
in a secondary front late tonight that will bring gusty NW winds
late tonight and Tuesday. Those winds bring a sharp cool down
for the first half of the work week, a far cry from the summer
preview of this past weekend.
Mostly cloudy tonight. Despite drying aloft, moisture lingering
in the low levels leave us prone to some drizzle and patchy fog
for at least the evening NW (to the the early Am hours in the
SE). Drying out with some partial clearing late. Lows late
tonight/Tues morning will be in the mid 30 in the NW, with low-
mid 40s elsewhere.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 315 AM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
- Dry conditions prevail Tuesday through Wednesday
- Tuesday night will bring below freezing temperatures to
portions of the forecast area. Freeze Warnings will be needed
for most inland areas active in the Frost/Freeze Program.
Chilly highs on Tues average 10-15 deg F below normal, ranging
through the 50s (cooler N, warmer S). Atlantic coastal portions
of the MD Eastern Shore may even stay in the upper 40s. Gusts up
to 35 mph expected near the coast, 20-30mph inland. Diminishing
winds, and the incoming cold, dry airmass will make for an
excellent radiating night Tuesday night. Freeze Warnings are
likely to be needed for much of the (inland) area that is active
in the frost program (i.e. all but the far NW corner of the CWA
from Prince Edward northeast to Caroline County). Lows in the
mid- upper 20s expected away from the immediate coast to low-
mid 30s coastal areas. Milder but still on the cool side Wed,
with highs in the mid- upper 50s under a partly to mostly sunny
sky.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 315 AM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
- Cooler, seasonable temperatures return by mid-late week.
- Another chance for rain comes on Friday into Saturday as
another front moves through the forecast area.
- Temperatures gradually warm up above climo next weekend into
early next week.
The modifying high pressure lifts NE as a cold front approaches
Appalachia. That front then crosses into the area Thursday
night into Friday. Thursday looks generally dry, though we could
see a few aftn showers in the NW. Compressional heating warms us
back toward climo on Thursday with highs in the mid- upper 60s.
Lows Thurs night in the upper 40-mid 50s. Chances for rain
increase Thu night and continue into Friday. Uncertainty
increases as the global models diverge for the weekend period.
While there is decent alignment about a deep sfc trough sliding
over the east coast, there is disagreement regarding the
formation of a sfc low in the vicinity of the FA. Where the
prospective low tracks, the timing, and the strength of the
system will ultimately decide precip chances and winds. Ensemble
guidance still showing a bit of a mixed message with a large
spread of solutions from the EPS/GEFS and hence the NBM and
LREF. Temps should generally be in the 60s regardless, with the
models all drying us out late next weekend into early next week
with strong ridging over the plains slowly building eastward.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 705 AM EDT Monday...
A cold front has dropped through the area early this morning,
and is oriented just south of the VA/NC border as of this
writing. Behind the front, winds have turned around to the
N/NE, with southerly winds continuing just south of the boundary.
More widespread rainfall has overspread the area this morning,
mainly across central and south central VA along the front. The
will buckle back northward slightly through mid-morning as more
widespread showers overrun the front. This will result in a
prolonged period of moderate to heavy rain today through this
evening, with lower VSBYs in heavier showers. Ceilings have degraded
to IFR/(LCL LIFR in heavier showers), with MVFR on the warm
side of the front at ORF/ECG later this morning into midday.
All terminals save for ORF/ECG will likely stay IFR through the
remainder of the period, with ECG dropping into low- end
MVFR/IFR this evening. Thunder will be possible at
PHF/ORF/ECG from late morning into the afternoon at the SE
coastal terminals.
Outlook: Showers continue through into Monday night ahead of
a slow-moving cold frontal passage. Conditions will finally
start to clear at all sites by Tuesday morning, and VFR
conditions will prevail through Thursday ahead of another
approaching front late this week.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 343 AM EDT Monday...
Key Messages:
- Strong SCA conditions are expected Tuesday/Tuesday night all
zones, with a brief period of gale force gusts possible,
especially across the north.
A frontal boundary is draped across the NC/VA border this morning.
The coastal waters south of the boundary still have south to
southwest winds, while the waters to the north have northeasterly
winds. Winds are generally around 10 kts north of the front, while
winds have remained elevated at around 10 to 15 kts with gust to 20
kts in the southern coastal waters. A Small Craft Advisory remains
in effect for the Ocean waters due to seas up to 5 ft. The
aforementioned front will lift northwards today, leading to a wind
shift in a majority of the waters back to southwesterly. A subtle
wind increase is also expected, but winds will stay sub-SCA for
today. Showers and possibly a few thunderstorms (mainly across the
southern coastal waters) are likely for a majority of the day today,
and winds and seas will be higher in any convection. A few
thunderstorms could become stronger this morning into early
afternoon, so these will be handled with Special Marine Warnings.
A stronger cold front will push through all of the coastal waters by
tonight, leading to a wind shift to the north. Overnight tonight
into early Tuesday morning, a strong surge of CAA is expected, and
winds will increase rapidly in response. Sustained winds will reach
20 kts for the rivers/sound, 20-30 kts in the Bay (strongest in the
northern Bay), and generally 20-25 kts in the Ocean (potentially
higher in the northern Ocean). Gusts to 35-40 kts are possible,
especially in the northern Bay and Ocean, but due to the brief
nature and marginal threat, have decided to stick with high-end
SCAs for those waters for now. Some guidance is trending upwards in
terms of wind speed, so we will continue to monitor this through
tonight. Seas in the Bay will briefly peak at 3-5 ft, and the Ocean
will peak at 4-6 ft.
Behind the front, high pressure will build across the region and
winds will drop by Tuesday night. Sub-SCA conditions will prevail
through Thursday morning. A brief surge of winds due to a tightened
gradient between the high moving offshore and an area of low
pressure approaching the Great Lakes region may bring at least the
Bay briefly into SCA criteria on Thursday afternoon. Thereafter, sub-
SCA conditions will return. There is some uncertainty in the long-
term wind forecast due to varying solutions of the global models, so
there is a chance for SCA conditions to return Friday through the
weekend.
