Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
5/20/2018 -- NOAA is having problems with the data feed that I use to draw the graphs. They are aware of the issue and working to resolve it. Sometimes changing the location by about a mile will give a correct graph. 3/3/2018 - There is a new GOES Satellite for the east coast that required rewriting that part of the code. Please report any issues. |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kakq 210609 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 209 am edt Thu jun 21 2018 Synopsis A cold front will approach the area from the north overnight. The front pushes south through the area on Thursday, then stalls over north carolina Thursday night into Friday. This front lifts back north as a warm front Friday night into Saturday. Near term until 8 am this morning As of 1015 pm edt Wednesday... latest analysis indicating a weak area of sfc low pressure across southern pa, progged to move ese overnight due to wnw flow aloft. A weak frontal boundary remains over the bay and eastern shore and will push back to the DELMARVA coast as a warm front overnight. Generally scattered showers persist along with some embedded (but weakening) tstms. For the next few hrs, will have an area of likely pops over the north and also in ne nc along the albemarle sound per latest radar imagery. The coverage of showers and tstms will gradually wane after midnight (and especially after 06z). Added some patchy fog to areas W of i-95 and N of route 460 where partial clearing is likely and temperatures have cooled into the upper 60s around 70 f. Lows overnight will avg in the upper 60s NW to the lower 70s most other places. Short term 8 am this morning through Saturday As of 400 pm edt Wednesday... a cold front sags south through the area on Thursday, settling near the va nc border late. Best chc of showers tstms will shift into central SRN va NE nc (50-60% pops), with 30-40% pops ne. Highs Thursday will be in the mid upper 80s to low 90s (around 80f for the immediate atlantic md coast). By Friday, high pressure builds over coastal new england resulting in onshore flow, with the aforementioned frontal boundary remaining stationary across north-central or NE nc. Will generally have highest pops (50-70%) across central southern va into NE nc Thursday night, perhaps lifting a bit further north overnight. By Friday, highest pops will be inland (50-70%) where some embedded tstms will be possible, to 30-40% along the coast. Guidance is starting to settle toward a consensus on high temperatures Friday, from the mid 70s far NW to the low 80s ric metro to the mid upr 80s SE va NE nc. Our meandering frontal boundary lifts back north as a warm front Friday night into Saturday morning. Highest pops will shift north with the front during this time. By Saturday, expecting temps to warm up again. Will also have to watch a shortwave progged to cross the region in the afternoon that could touch of a line of tstms. Highs in the 80s to low 90s. Long term Saturday night through Wednesday As of 400 pm edt Wednesday... shower thunderstorm chances continue Saturday night-Sunday morning for the eastern third of the CWA as a surface trough continues to linger across the region. A potent shortwave dives southeastward from canada to the northeastern us on Monday. The associated surface low pressure system will drag a cold front southward across the region late Sunday into Monday bringing another chance for showers and thunderstorms. The frontal boundary pushes south during the day on Monday with a few lingering showers t-storms possible across mainly southern portions of the cwa. The latest 20 12z ECMWF has only isolated-scattered showers t-storms Sunday night-Monday while the GFS has more widespread t-storms. Thus, opted to maintain no higher than 50% pops Sunday night-Monday. Behind the cold front, |
high pressure builds in north of the area bringing drier and cooler conditions to the region from Tuesday through the middle of next week. Sunday will likely be the warmest day of the extended period with with highs in the lower 90s for most areas. Highs will cool to the mid-upper 80s on Monday with low-mid 80s expected on Tuesday. Warming up slightly on Wednesday with highs between 83-87. Expect morning lows between 70-75 on Sunday and Monday cooling into the 60s for Tuesday Wednesday. Aviation 06z Thursday through Monday As of 210 am edt Thursday... much of the showers tstms from last evening have dissipated as of 06z aside from an isolated TSTM SW of ric. A weak cold front remains situated w-e near the mason-dixon line with light sw flow across the local area. Patchy vsby of 3-5sm in br is possible at ric sby phf ecg through 12z along with patchy MVFR cigs. Brief ifr conditions are possible, but not expected to prevail given the persistence of light SW flow overnight. There is some concern for fog at ecg given 2.47" of rain yesterday, however, there appear to be enough wind to inhibit fog. The cold front will drop into the region this aftn with the wind shifting to N NE through the aftn. Iso-sct showers tstms are expected once again during the aftn with sct-bkn CIGS of 5-6kft. An area of low pressure tracks along the front tonight resulting in likely showers and embedded tstms. Pockets of heavier rain could produce MVFR or ifr vsby along with MVFR cigs. High pressure settles over new england Friday resulting in onshore flow. Remaining unsettled as an upper level trough approaches from the SW with a 20-40% chc of showers along the coast, and 40-60% farther inland. The potential for aftn evening showers tstms will continue Saturday and Sunday. Drier conditions potentially arrive by Monday. Marine As of 230 pm edt Wednesday... no headlines anticipated in the short term this evening into Friday. Current observations show generally light and variable winds over the waters. Seas range from 1 to 2 feet and waves 1 foot. A weak frontal boundary drops into the region later this evening which will bring increasing winds and the chance for showers or thunderstorms. Winds become southeast 10 knots or less this evening and then southerly overnight. Winds shift to the N NW on Thursday as the boundary moves south of the region. The gradient strengthens Friday into Friday night, bringing onshore winds of 10 to 15 knots and the potential for 5 foot seas across the northern zones. The flow becomes more southeasterly Saturday morning and then southerly as a warm front lifts over the waters. Breezy conditions are expected Saturday and small craft advisories may be needed for both winds and seas into Sunday. Akq watches warnings advisories Md... None. Nc... None. Va... None. Marine...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
