(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kakq 191946 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 346 pm edt Fri jul 19 2019 Synopsis High pressure remains off the southeast coast through Monday. A cold front crosses the area Monday night, ending the current heat wave by Tuesday. Near term until 6 am Saturday morning As of 330 pm edt Friday... latest msas shows a sfc trof across the va nc coastal plain with sfc high pressure over the sern states. Isltd-sct convection has developed ivof this boundary and expect this sporatic activity to continue thru sunset across the SE then diminish due to loss of heating. Will carry low chc pops across the SRN half of the local area thru the eve. Otw, fair to pt cldy, wam and muggy. Lows mid-upr 70s, except arnd 80 in urban areas. Short term 6 am Saturday morning through Monday As of 330 pm edt Friday... sern ridge dominates thru the weekend. The heat peaks Sat (warmest h85 temps) then conts Sun due to compressional heating well ahead of the approaching front. In addition, a weak trof to the west sun will allow for some late aftn convection to drift east off the blue ridge and into the WRN piedmont. Thus, kept low chc pops mainly west of i95 Sun aftrn. Confidence is high enough now (and to make the heat headlines as simple as possible) to go with an excessive heat warning across the entire forecast area both Sat sun. Highs mid 90s-lwr 100s, heat indices 110-115. Warm muggy with little if any cooling at night. Lows 75-80, highest urban areas. Moisture increases ahead of the cold front Sun nite. Best support for pcpn will be across the north so will carry low chc pops there. Otw, pt to mstly cldy, warm humid. Lows 75-80. The cold front slowly approaches from the NW mon, not entering the local area until Mon nite. Models show the front slowing a bit, allowing enough heating prior to 18z for temps to jump to btwn 90-97 before any pcpn develops. Heat advsry may be needed across the south and east. Convection develops Mon aftrn with chc to low end likely pops late (highest north). Given the synoptic setup, there is certainly a risk for severe weather with stronger wind fields aloft due to the lowering heights. Stay tuned. Long term Monday night through Friday As of 330 pm edt Friday... guidance continues to suggest a fairly abrupt cool down by Tuesday as a long wave trough sets up across the eastern half of the country. At the surface, low pressure is progged to track from pa to the canadian maritimes. Guidance has trended slightly slower W the passage of the associated cold front... It is now forecast to approach the region Monday night before slowly crossing the area (from nw-se) on tue. TSTM chances increase from NW to SE Mon night- tue as the front slowly crosses the region. The best chc of tstms mon night will be across the NRN half of the cwa. As the front approaches SE va NE nc Tue aftn, expect re-development of showers tstms (as pcpn chances diminish across northern western zones). Guidance is in very good agreement with respect to numerous shower TSTM coverage Tue aftn-evening across the se. Have likely pops across the north Mon night with chc pops across the south. Have gone with pops of ~70% across the SE Tue aftn-evening. In addition, severe weather cannot be ruled out with the FROPA (best chc for severe wx looks to be across SE va NE nc Tue aftn where the fropa coincides W peak heating). The front finally moves just SE of the CWA on Tue before slowly pushing well S of the area by Thursday. Deep-layer moisture will be slow to exit coastal SE va NE nc under moist ssw flow aloft. Therefore, will maintain chc pops through late Wed across far se zones. Drier by late next week as high pressure tries to build in from the north. Still cannot rule out an isolated aftn-evening shower TSTM (especially s) through fri. Highs generally dropping back to the low-mid 80s for Tue and wed, then mid-upper 80s thu-fri with more sunshine. Morning lows will mainly be in the upper 60s-mid 70s on Tue before dropping into the 60s in most areas from wed-fri (with forecast lows in the low 70s along the immediate coast of se va NE nc). Aviation 19z Friday through Wednesday As of 110 pm edt Friday... vfr conditions thru the forecast period. Sct-bkn CU btwn 4-5k ft this aftrn may actually pop up some sct convection this aftrn. Current echoes seem to be weakening as quickly as they dvlp, do did not include any pcpn in the tafs for now. Winds vrbl 5-10 kts. |
Outlook... Bermuda high starts to break down late Sun sun night allowing for some late day eve convection over the piedmont. A better and more widespread chc for convection comes later mon thru tue, as a cold front approaches and drops acrs the area. Marine As of 330 pm edt Friday... strong high pressure at the surface and aloft over the southwestern atlantic is leading to continued south and southwesterly large scale flow over the eastern conus. Local winds are somewhat variable near the coast due to afternoon sea breeze circulations but are generally 5-10 knots. Waves are around 1 ft in the bay with seas offshore 2-3 ft. Winds become ssw and increase slightly tonight to ~10 knots in the bay and offshore waters. Southwesterly winds 5-10 knots will continue through the remainder of the weekend as high pressure remains anchored off the southeast coast. Some nocturnal enhancement in wind speeds to 10-15 knots each night through Monday morning. Large scale ridging will begin to break down on Monday as a surface trough precedes an upper level disturbance across the great lakes. Southwesterly flow will increase as the pressure gradient begins to tighten on Monday afternoon, generally 10-15 knots across both the bay and offshore waters. Waves will build to around 2 ft while seas increase to 2-4 ft S and 3-4 ft N in sustained southwesterly flow. 19.12z global models have trended slower regarding the expected frontal passage with the boundary now not clearing the area until sometime early Tuesday afternoon. A period of showers and storms (some of which may quite strong) will precede this front. North and northeast flow, generally AOB 10 knots, will follow the frontal passage for the mid to late week period. Climate * due to unrepresentative temperatures at the norfolk intl airport today (the ASOS reported a daily MAX of 97f), the high temperature from the co- op station was used for today with a high of 94f. This matches close to surrounding sites (ngu was 93f and the va tech installed mesonet station close to orf was 94f). Upcoming heatwave may challenge or break record highs and or record high lows (esp from Fri through sun).
