Fxus61 kakq 220621 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 221 am edt Sun jul 22 2018 Synopsis Low pressure will track north into pa and western ny by Sunday morning. A moist southerly flow, coupled with a low pressure trough aloft over the southeastern u.S., will result in an unsettled pattern through at least the middle of next week. Near term until 6 am this morning As of 1005 pm edt Saturday... sfc lo pres INVOF central ches bay ATTM will continue to track n overnight... Resulting in ra pulling away. Widespread 1-3 inches of ra I 95 to the coast from this event... Likely locally higher amounts interior ERN SE va. Area of convection slowing moving through SW va NW nc expected to weaken heading E overnight. Keeping chc pops far SRN va interior NE nc through the night. Otherwise... Partly to mostly cloudy across the local area. Ese winds gusty to 25-35 mph invof ERN shore a little while longer then become ssw as the lo pres pulls away to the n. Windspeeds likely to wind down later on. Lows in the m60s along-w of I 95 to u60s-around 70f e. Short term 6 am this morning through Tuesday night As of 320 pm edt Saturday... deep southerly flow persists on Sunday, as upper low over the oh vly gradually sinks southward into the southern appalachians by sunset. As a result, more scattered, and mainly diurnal shower TSTM activity expected. Under mostly cloudy skies, high temps will make into the low to mid 80s, several degrees below normal. Aforementioned upper low will meander over the southeastern u.S. Sunday night through Tuesday, allowing for continued deep southerly flow, and continued chances for showers tstms across the region. Rainfall Sunday night Monday expected to be across the eastern half of the area. By Monday night Tuesday, atlantic upper ridge begins to build westward, allowing main axis of heaviest rainfall to shift into the central and western parts of the area. Another 1-2 inches of rain is possible across the area through Tuesday. With deep moisture in place, skies will continue to be mostly cloudy, with day time MAX temps still a few degrees below normal both Monday and Tuesday. Highs both days mainly in the mid 80s. Low temps Sunday night through Tuesday night mostly in the 70-75 degree range. Long term Wednesday through Saturday As of 320 pm edt Saturday... decent model agreement continues through much of the extended period as two well-established high pressure systems over the plains and the atlantic keep rain chances sandwiched in between over our cwa. Expect high-end chance to likely pops areawide through at least the beginning of next weekend. Wednesday, likely pops stretch as far east as the delmarva, especially during the afternoon evening. Thursday morning, kept the best moisture and likely pops across the northern half of the area... Before likely pops return for much of our area Thursday afternoon evening. Friday and Saturday mornings may be the "driest" portions of the extended, especially across the western third of the cwa, but do expect daytime heating to spark additional showers and thunderstorms each afternoon. The euro and GFS begin to diverge on late Saturday and Sunday, with the euro trying to weaken the atlantic ridge and thereby decreasing the opportunity for rainfall. Not only does the 12z GFS disagree with a weakening atlantic ridge, but it also brings another low pressure system through the ohio valley... Sending additional energy our way and increasing rain chances Sunday into the start of the following week. While "all day" rain does not look to be the case, each day this week will feature shower TSTM chances to some degree. Keeping an umbrella and some golashes handy would not be such a bad idea.

Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s wed-sat, with the warmest day being Friday. Spots that receive rainfall will be an average of 5-8+ degf cooler. Overnight lows in the low to mid 70s will carry us through Sunday morning. Aviation 06z Sunday through Thursday As of 200 am edt Sunday... low pressure that brought rain to much of the region during sat was north of the cwa, and will lift into pa during this morning. However, digging upper trough to our west resulting in weak sfc low pressure over WRN nc sc was pushing sctd showers and isolated tstms in our SW counties early this morning. Expecting MVFR orVFR conditions thru 12-13z this morning at all TAF sites except sby, where ifr CIGS will likely linger. MainlyVFR conditions should then prevail at all TAF sites by 14-15z with sse winds picking up and lasting into this evening. Today into wed will see unsettled wx conditions at all terminals, with periodic showers tstms, with most tstms in the diurnal 16z to 04z time frame. Overall flying conditions should be MVFRVFR, with periodic ifr in pcpn, and possibly low stratus during the overnight into early morning hours. Marine As of 330 pm edt Saturday... latest sfc analysis shows 1002 mb low pressure developing along a stalled frontal boundary over NE nc. The low will advance north through the fa tonight, with strong onshore winds out ahead of it. Maintained SCA headlines for this, while issuing smw's for an hour or two of gale force gusts north of the low. Winds drop off a bit behind the low but still will see 15-25 kt sustained winds into the overnight hours, so have extended the sca over the northern bay a bit. Expect up to 10 ft seas out 20 nm this evening, subsiding overnight. For sun, persistent sse flow at 10-20kt develops which will last through the middle of next week as low pressure settles over the tennessee valley and high pressure locates over the WRN atlantic. Did extend the sca over northern coastal waters where seas AOA 5 ft are expected to continue through at least Sun night. Elsewhere, additional sca flags are possible late Sun into early next week for wind and seas. Tides coastal flooding As of 330 pm edt Saturday... with tidal anomalies reaching 1.0-1.5ft above normal today and tonight, issued coastal flood advisories for the va northern neck and bay side of the lwr md eastern shore for this evening's high tide cycle. In addition, a high risk of rip currents is expected over northern beaches through sun, with a moderate risk over southern beaches. Equipment As of 320 pm edt Saturday... kdox radar is inoperable due to a failure of the motor. All parts will not arrive until Tuesday july 24. Return to service is unknown at this time.

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.
