AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wakefield VA 925 PM EST Sun Feb 28 2021
SYNOPSIS. A frontal boundary remains nearly stationary along the Virginia- North Carolina border tonight. A cold front will cross the area from the northwest Monday. Canadian high pressure returns Monday night through Tuesday. Low pressure tracks off the Carolina coast Wednesday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/. As of 925 PM EST Sunday .
About the only model close to showing what is going on this eve is the RAP. Otw, models struggling with the frontal psn, sfc/dp tmps, winds and fog.
Latest MSAS has the front nrly stnry along the VA-NC border with a huge temp swing on either side. (Currently 49 at ORF while NTU is 62. Meanwhile, fog has settled in north of it with widespread VSBYS aob 1/2 SM with many stations reporting 1/4 SM. Thus, have hoisted a dense fog advsry west of the Ches Bay thru 4 AM as little change is expected fro the rest of tonite. In addition, given the frontal psn, the models are not showing pcpn as far south as the current radar has it, so made some PoP changes as well. Winds/temps/ dp temps/vsbys have all been adjusted per current readings. Don't expect much change overnite due to the rain overspreading the area. What the rain may do is scour out some of the fog for a short time, but it will likely come back in along with some drizzle. Min temps are near current readings with stdy readings expected overnite. Tmps may actually rise a bit across srn Va due to the waffling front.
PVS DSCN: The cold front is expected to pass through the early Monday morning through midday bringing a period of rain to the entire area. A SW wind should become rather breezy ahead of the front across SE VA/NE NC late tonight into early Monday morning with speeds of up to 15 mph with gusts to 20-25 mph. High-res guidance still depicts some semblance of a thin convective line across SE VA/NE NC immediately along the front. This could produce some locally stronger wind gusts as 950mb wind is forecast to be 40-45kt. Additional QPF with the front is expected to be 0.2-0.35". Drier air arrives from NW-SE Monday afternoon with high temperatures Monday ranging from the low 60s NW to near 70F SE, but a somewhat non-diurnal temperature curve is expected.
SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. As of 400 PM EST Sunday .
Cool Canadian high pressure builds into the area Monday night into Tuesday. The sky is expected to clear along with the arrival of cooler temperatures. Forecast lows Monday night range from the upper 20s to low 30s, followed by highs in the low to mid 40s E, to upper 40s/around 50F W Tuesday. Another system moves across the Carolinas Tuesday night to off the Carolina coast later Wednesday. The latest guidance supports the best chc of rain across srn VA and NE NC. Precipitation may start out as a rain/snow mix across portions of the Piedmont late Tuesday night before transitioning over to rain. Confidence still remains below average with this solution due to widely differing model solutions. Forecast lows Tuesday night are in the upper 20s to mid 30s, followed by highs in the upper 40s to low 50s Wednesday.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/. As of 400 PM EST Sunday .
Mainly dry weather for Thursday into Friday. Generally near normal or slight above normal temps expected for most of the extended period. Another system potentially develops off the coast Friday night into Saturday. However, the general consensus amongst 28/12z deterministic and ensemble guidance continues to show low pressure to be well off the coast with cool high pressure to the N, and dry conditions locally. Cool and dry into next weekend per the latest guidance.
AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. As of 645 PM EST Sunday .
A front bndry remains nrly stnry across sern VA/ne NC this eve with widespread IFR ST/drizzle/fog north of it. VFR south of it at ECG. Models are showing srly winds increasing overnite allowing for some of the fog/ST to scour out with the frnt inching northward. Not confident this occurs at RIC/SBY but should at ORF/PHF after 06Z.
Areas of rain will accompany a cold front as it crosses the area Mon. This keeps MVFR CIGS/VSBYS continuing into the aftrn. WSW winds become gusty ahead of it (15-25 kts), shifting to the NW behind it.
OUTLOOK . High pressure builds in Mon night into Tues. Low pressure moves off the Carolina coast Wed. High pressure returns Thurs/Fri.
MARINE. As of 715 PM EST Sunday .
Issued a marine dense fog advisory for zones ANZ650 and ANZ652 until midnight. Obs off of OXB and WAL are down to half mile visby, and with the front still to the south over Virginia Beach, expect fog conditions to remain for at least several more hours.
Previous discussion .
Warm front extends off the Virginia coast this afternoon. Winds have become southerly across NC waters, but remain easterly to northeast north of Cape Charles. The warm front will continue to move north this evening. Winds will turn SW across all coastal waters. SCA has been issued for the southern portion of the Chesapeake Bay, Lower James River, and Currituck Sound tonight through Monday morning for SW winds 15-20 kt. Gusts will likely be around 20 kt for a few hours tomorrow morning. SCAs remain in effect for the ocean zones north of Cape Charles for seas around 5 ft.
A strong cold front will move off the coast Monday morning. There may be a line of heavy showers producing gusty winds as the cold front moves off the coast between 7 AM and 11 AM Monday. Behind the front, winds will become NW 15-20 kt by Monday afternoon. Another SCA will likely be need for the bay.
Colder air will move into the area Monday night, bringing an increase in the NW flow. Gale Watch remain in effect for the central portion of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean north of Cape Charles. Winds will be NW 25-30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt in these area. Elsewhere, winds will be NW 20-25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt. SCAs will most likely be needed for the remainder of our coastal waters.
High pressure is expected to move over the region Tuesday with sub- SCA conditions. An area of low pressure is forecasted to track off the Carolina coast Wednesday, bring the next threat of SCA conditions, mainly for our southern waters.
