SYNOPSIS. High pressure builds into the area tonight and Tuesday. A dry cold front crosses the area Tuesday night. Low pressure moves east but stays well south of the area Thursday and Friday. Canadian high pressure builds in from the northwest over the weekend.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/. As of 215 PM EST Monday .

Despite a 20-25 degree temp/dp temp spread and a gusty downsloping wind btwn 15-30 mph, still getting reports of flurries/sprinkles across the Piedmont as the trof moves east across the area. Based on the latest radar data, will maintain this in the grids for svrl more hrs as the trof slowly pushes east. Otw, high pres to the sw builds into the area thie eve behind the departing trof. Clouds early this eve will decrease with a mstly clr overnite period. Diminishing west winds this eve as well. Lows mid 20s-lwr 30s.

SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/. As of 215 PM EST Monday .

High pres settles into the se Tue. The next sfc trof/cold front will cross the area Tues night with high pres re-establishing itself over the area Wed into Thurs. Dry through the period with only periodic cloud coverage. The pres gradient will result in breezy conditions at times during peak heating hrs. SW (downsloping) winds Tue shift to the NW Wed.

Highs Tue 50-55. Lows Tue nite 30-35. Highs Wed mid 40s north to lwr 50s south as CAA is slow to spill east. CAA sets in Wed nite with lows in the 20s to near 30 se. Highs Thurs 45-50 with more cloud coverage in the aftrn across the south.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/. As of 215 PM EST Monday .

Models continue to show a series of weak shortwaves moving east across the deep south Thurs nite and Fri. Both the ECMWF/CMC keep any rain chcs south of the AKQ fa, while the GFS is the outlier but has backed off a bit on the nrn extension of any pcpn (about up to the Albemarle Sound). Even the NAM keeps any pcpn well south of the local area at 84 hrs (00Z Fri). This all gets kicked south and east Fri as the next trof/cold front cross the area. Thus, will maintain the a dry forecast. Lows Thurs nite 30-35 north, 35-40 south. Pt to mstly sunny Fri with highs 45-50 north, lwr 50s south.

Canadian high pressure builds in from the nw over the weekend. This will send temps blo normal with highs both Sat/Sun upr 30s-mid 40s. Lows in the 20s to arnd 30 se.

Models offer up different solns wrt a systm early next week. GFS has a sgnfcnt rain event overspreading the area Mon psbly starting off as a wintery mix across the nwrn zones), the ECMWF shows a lighter pcpn event Mon but more wintery pcpn across the ne before changing to all rain, while the Canadian is much drier Mon with no sgnfcnt pcpn until Mon nite/Tue. Given a low confidence day 7 forecast, will try a model blend this far out with the trend for a psbl wintery mix Mon morn changing to rain. Lows Sun nite upr 20s-lwr 30s. Highs Mon in the 40s.

AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. As of 630 PM EST Monday .

VFR conditions expected to continue through the 00z TAF period. Expect the mid level cloud deck (~7000 to 8000 ft) over many of the TAF sites to continue to dissipate over the next couple of hours. Mainly SKC skies expected after 03z with only FEW to SCT higher clouds. Another mid level cloud deck potentially moves across the region Tuesday afternoon. W winds remain elevated tonight around 5 knots, becoming gusty again Tuesday afternoon (~10-13 knots with gusts to around 20 knots).

Outlook: A persistent pattern keeps VFR conditions through Thursday. Low pressure passes south of the region Thursday night and Friday. High pressure builds in from the NW over the weekend.

MARINE. As of 400 PM EST Monday .

SCA is in effect for all coastal waters until late this evening or tonight. Westerly to northwesterly winds are around 20 kt with gusts 25-30 kt, especially across the southern Chesapeake Bay and James River. Winds will decrease overnight southwest 10-15 kt as high pressure moves in. Westerly winds will be near SCA criteria Tuesday afternoon as another weak front moves off the coast. Thinking is that gusts will be just below SCA levels.

A stronger cold front will move off the coast Wednesday with gusty NW winds. SCA will be likely winds NW 15-25 kt.
