Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

The front will continue to push offshore tonight with high pressure building in behind it, while aloft flow becomes more zonal. Lowered temps a few degrees from previous forecast, with mostly clear skies and calm winds should set up decent radiational cooling conditions. Lows dropping to around 50 low 50s inland and lows 60s for the beaches. Some guidance shows lows dropping into the upper 40s inland tue morning. Some patchy fog will be possible early Tue morning. Long term Tuesday through Sunday As of 330 am Monday... High pressure will briefly build into the area Tuesday.

Highs expected in the upper 70s to around 80 inland to mid 70s along the coast as there will be little CAA behind the front and return flow developing Tuesday afternoon with the high quickly migrating offshore. Tuesday through Wednesday night... High pressure briefly builds in from the north Tuesday then migrates off the mid-atlantic coast Tuesday night as a more robust upper level system approaches from the west and an area of low pressure develops across the southeast and deepens as it tracks across the carolina piedmont and offshore Wednesday. Isentropic lift increases across the area Tuesday evening with widespread precip developing across the area after midnight. A warm front will lift across portions of the area Wednesday morning before the cold front pushes through in the afternoon. Modest instability will develop in the warm sector with strong shear and forcing present bringing a chance for thunderstorms ahead of the cold front. There may also be a risk for severe storms as well with mucape values potentially reaching 1000-1500 j kg with deep layer shear around 40 kts. There is some uncertainly in just how much instability will occur though as the 14 00z NAM and gfs have trended a little eastward with the low, tracking it near or along the coast, bringing less instability to much of the area, especially inland, however, the cmc and ECMWF still have more of an inland track. We could see beneficial rainfall with models showing widespread QPF amounts around 3 4 to 1 inch. Temps remain seasonably mild Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Lows Tuesday night remain mild ahead of the cold front with low mainly in the mid 60s. Strong CAA develops behind the cold front late Wednesday and especially Wednesday |

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. 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. |
