(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kakq 151041 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 641 am edt Tue oct 15 2019 Synopsis High pressure centered to our north will keep the region dry on Tuesday. A strong cold front crosses the area on Wednesday bringing periods of rain and gusty winds behind the front. High pressure builds in for the end of the week with cooler and drier conditions expected. Near term through tonight As of 600 am edt Tuesday... the fog that has persisted much of the night near the coast has diminished in coverage. Latest surface obs and satellite imagery shows some pockets continuing in NE nc and along the coast of md va. Issued another sps for patchy dense fog until 8 am. Further inland, good radiational cooling has allowed temps to dip a little bit more than expected. Many locations south and west of the richmond metro have dropped into the lower 40's, with even a couple readings in the upper 30's in louisa county. Temps will rebound quickly after sunrise, with high temps reaching the low to mid 70's this afternoon. Short term Wednesday through Thursday As of 330 am edt Tuesday... a strong cold front will cross the region on Wednesday bringing some much needed rain to the area. A shortwave digging through the northern stream will amplify as it crosses the ohio valley. Meanwhile, a healthy southern stream will help to tap into some gulf moisture ahead of the front. Forecast soundings show pwat values increasing to about 1.5 inches on Wednesday. Expect showers to overspread the region from southwest to northeast beginning before 12z Wednesday and lasting through late Wednesday evening. Instability isn't impressive but can't rule out a couple rumbles of thunder. Overall thinking on QPF is in line with wpc, with rainfall values generally ranging from 0.5-1.0 inches with isolated higher amounts. Went on the cooler side of guidance for high temps on Wednesday, as it's expected overcast and rainy conditions will likely hold temps in the mid to upper 60s. By 06z Thursday the rain should be over across the region, and a gusty wnw wind will bring in drier and much cooler conditions. Low temps Thursday morning will easily be in the 40s for most of the region except right near the coast. Areas west of i-95 may get close to 40 degrees. Thursday afternoon high temps will only reach the low to mid 60s. Winds will gust 25-30mph across most of the area, but the md eastern shore may see wind gusts up to 35-40mph Thursday morning and afternoon. Long term Thursday night through Monday As of 130 pm edt Monday... sfc hi pres moves across the fa fri-sat resulting in dry near seasonable wx. Return flow behind the high as it moves off the coast Sun through Mon will likely bring an increase in moisture (and pops) from the SW ahead of lo pres tracking through the midwest - initially inland during sun... Then all areas by sun night mon. Lows Thu night 40-45f inland to around 50f at the immediate coast. Highs Fri in the l-m60s. Lows Fri night in the l-m40s inland to the l50s at the (immediate coast). Highs Sat in the u60s-l70s. Lows Sat night in the u40s inland to the l-m50s at the coast. Highs Sun in the l70s at the coast and m70s elsewhere. Highs Mon from the l70s N to the u70s far se. Aviation 12z Tuesday through Saturday As of 640 am edt Tuesday... patchy fog may still briefly impact visbys at kecg and kphf for a couple more hours but once the remainder of the fog burns off all taf locations will beVFR throughout the day. Winds will be NE this morning becoming SE by late in the day. Wind speeds will remain below 10 kts. |
Looking ahead... A cold front will cross the area on Wednesday. Periods of showers are expected with a slight chance of thunderstorms, especially closer to the coast. Flight restrictions are possible in areas of heavy rain. After the frontal passage, gusty wnw winds are expected late Wednesday night and through the day on Thursday. Marine As of 400 am edt Tuesday... a weak cold front is currently crossing the lower bay shifting winds to the NW and eventually the NE later this morning. Pressure gradient and CAA is too weak for issuance of any sca headlines but will see a few hrs worth of sustained winds approaching 15 kt and a few gusts potentially to near 20 kt. Winds will become E at 5-10 kt during the aftn. Sub- sca conditions then prevail tonight, before another area of low pressure is progged to impact the area on wed, followed by a much stronger cold front Wed night. Some potential for sca conditions for building seas on the coastal waters and 15-20kt winds into the lower bay in sse flow late Wed am into Wed aftn before the winds shift to the W late Wed aftn. With this being 3rd period and somewhat marginal uncertain did not raise any scas yet. Have issued a gale watch for the coastal zones N of cape charles light for Wed night Thu for what will be a 12hr or greater period with gusts of 35-40 kt expected. Strong CAA and an intensifying sfc low pushes off the mid-atlantic coast wed night and into new england on thu. Strong scas (due to winds) look likely Wed night-thu for the remainder of the region and even in these zones not in the gale watch, there probably will be a few hrs worth of occasional gusts to ~35 kt late wed evening or early Thu am as the initial surge of sharply colder air moves through. Local wind probabilities are depicting >80% chances for gale gusts at buoy 44009 Wed night early Thu tapered to 20-40% (or less) over the southern coastal waters and bay. Due to the offshore NW flow, seas will not build that much despite the strong winds, generally to 4-6 ft while waves in the bay build to ~4 ft with 2-3 ft waves in the rivers. The current forecast has winds remaining AOA sca thresholds for bay and coast through ~12z fri. Sub-sca conditions return by late fri, as high pressure settles over the waters. Tides coastal flooding As of 500 am edt Tuesday... flood statement for the nc zones along the albemarle sound has been extended through noon. Water levels peaked yesterday but have been slow to fall and with some residual flooding still ongoing have extended the statement to cover the rest of this morning. Some increasing tidal anomalies are expected over the next day into the bay out ahead of a strong cold front. Minor flooding with the high tide Wed aftn will be possible into the upper bay for places like lewisetta, bishops head (and potentially crisfield and cambridge). The rip current risk will be moderate over area beaches today (this is the last srf issuance for the 2019 season). Akq watches warnings advisories Md... None. Nc... None. Va... None. Marine...

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. |
