(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kakq 270855 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 455 am edt Mon may 27 2019 Synopsis A weak cold front will drop south of the region early this morning, then return back north of the area on Tuesday, followed by a big warm up for the remainder of the week. Near term until 6 pm this evening As of 415 am edt Monday... early this morning, a weak cold front was dropping down acrs srn va with sctd showers finally about to exit off the lower md ern shore. Otherwise, it was partly to mostly cloudy over the region with temps ranging from the upper 60s to mid 70s. The front will drop farther south of the area during today, with weak high pressure providing nne winds and not as warm temps. Mainly just a slight to sml chance for late aftn early evening showers tstms. Highs will range thru the 80s to near 90, cooler near the water. Short term 6 pm this evening through Wednesday night As of 430 am edt Monday... the front will lift back north acrs the area as a warm front tonight thru Tue morning. Upper ridging will build from the gulf coast states nwrd toward the oh valley. That boundary could help produce isolated to sctd showers or tstms, mainly acrs nrn portions of the region. Lows tonight ranging thru the 60s. The warm front will lift well nne of the area Tue aftn, but there still could be slight to sml chance for diurnally-driven showers or tstms over the ERN third of the region into the early evening. Warmer and moderately humid on Tue under a partly sunny sky. Highs will range from the upper 70s to mid 80s over the lower md and va ERN shore, to the upper 80s to lower 90s elsewhere. Mostly clear and mild Tue night with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Upper ridging slides eastward and nwrd into the region for wed, resulting in even warmer temps. Under a partly to mostly sunny sky, highs will range from 85-90 over the lower md and va ern shore, to the lower to mid 90s elsewhere. Later Wed aftn into wed night, isolated to sctd showers tstms will be possible over the NRN third of the cwa. Long term Thursday through Sunday As of 430 am edt Monday... by Thursday, the upper level ridge axis begins to break down push east of the local area as a more potent shortwave develops and moves across the midwest and great lakes. Thursday will likely be another very hot day with temperatures making it up into the mid 90s across much of the area. Shower and thunderstorm chances will be on the increase as the shortwave and associated cold front approach and cross the region late Thursday into early Friday. This boundary then stalls lingers near to just south of the region into the weekend bringing the potential for more unsettled conditions. Temperatures cool down slightly Friday into the weekend, but are still expected to remain above average as highs in the mid to upper 80s are anticipated. Aviation 09z Monday through Friday As of 300 am edt Monday... a cold front was dropping down acrs SRN va early this morning, with sctd showers finally about to exit off the lower md ern shore. Otherwise, mainlyVFR conditions were prevailing at the taf sites, with just isolated sct stratus at sby. SW winds around 5 kt were shifting to the nw-ne behind the front. The front will drop south of the entire area early this morning, with nne winds 5-10 kt during the remainder of the day, then light E becoming SE this evening into Tue morning.VFR conditions |
will prevail thru the period, with only isolated to sctd convection possible at ric phf orf ecg late this aftn into early this evening. Outlook: mainlyVFR conditions will continue Tue thru wed, with isolated to sctd pcpn possible mainly at sby and ric. Marine As of 330 am edt Monday... outside of convection, a rather quiet marine forecast for the next several days. A weak frontal boundary is pushing south through the waters early this morning and will stall wash out s of the local area this aftn evening. A N wind will avg around 10 kt through midday with some gusts to ~15 kt. The winds become ne then E during the aftn at 5-10 kt, and continue to veer to the sse tonight into Tue morning at ~10 kt. Waves 1 to 2 ft in the bay and seas 2-3 ft offshore. S winds 10-15 knots are expected by Tuesday afternoon as high pressure aloft remains anchored over northern gulf coast and the frontal boundary lifts back N of the area as a weak warm front. Waves in the bay will generally run 1-2 ft while seas offshore will stay in the 2-4 ft range through mid week. There are some model discrepancies regarding the winds on wed, the NAM tries to push the front back S into the local waters (which would lead to ne winds). The other models are in a general agreement that the front will be weak and mostly stay N of the local area. Will follow the consensus for now as it also retains continuity with the forecast. This will have mostly SW winds Wed into Thu and sub-sca conditions. Climate As of 330 am edt Monday... * for Sun 5 26: no record highs were set, but ric, sby, ecg all tied their daily record high mins. Sby also recorded their 1st 90 degree day of 2019. * no record highs (or record high mins) are anticipated today 5 27.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
