Fxus61 krnk 232322 afdrnk area forecast discussion national weather service blacksburg va 722 pm edt Fri aug 23 2019 Synopsis A cold front will move through the appalachians and central mid atlantic region, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the area into this evening. A wedge of high pressure will then build in overnight and bring much cooler weather with some light showers possible for the weekend. Near term through Saturday As of 710 pm edt Friday... we plan to remove remaining counties from the severe thunderstorm watch #612 by 8pm. As the front continues to track south overnight, warm moist air will move over incoming cool surface air. This will create low clouds and fog that should engulf the entire area by Saturday morning. Clouds will lift some during the day. With a cool northerly wind and abundant cloud cover, temperatures Saturday will range from the mid 60s to lower 70s. As of 630 pm edt Friday... removed a few counties from the severe thunderstorm watch. The remaining line of showers will clear southside va and northwest nc piedmont counties within the next hour. As of 230 pm edt Friday... visible satellite imagery shows that clouds have broken up and allowed for destabilization ahead of the cold front which has entered from the north and already cleared the interstate 64 corridor. The current activity on radar is just starting to encounter the more unstable environment so anticipate convective trends will be increasing through the afternoon. Anticipate clusters evolving into more of a linear mode with a primary threat of damaging winds, particularly east of the blue ridge into southside where better instability and shear will overlap. Will also be watching for development of deeper cores which may support large hail, as well as a small chance of rotating storms especially in the vicinity of the enhanced shear along the frontal boundary as it pushes in. Will also be ALERT for locally heavy rainfall and potential hydro issues. A strong wedge then builds in overnight with lingering sprinkles and some fog, along with much cooler temperatures for Saturday. Expect highs tomorrow only in the lower 70s east of the blue ridge with mid upper 60s to the west. Short term Saturday night through Monday night As of 230 pm edt Friday... the wedge that will spread southwest through the region Saturday will remain in place well into early next week as it appears at this time. Temperatures will be much cooler than recent weeks, actually below normal for high temperatures, closer to normal for low temperatures. While the deeper moisture will be pushed further south by Sunday, the remains considerable question as to whether or not this moisture will remain far enough south of our area to allow at least the northern parts of the CWA to remain dry and with less cloudiness. Areas south of the blue ridge are most certain to remain cloudy through the period with periods of rain and or drizzle. Upslope moist easterly flow will likely leave the eastern slopes of the blue ridge, especially from watauga northeast toward floyd cloudy, cooler than normal, and with frequent periods of drizzle and or rain through the period.

Areas north of u.S. 460 should remain dry Sunday into Monday, but moisture will start returning northward by Tuesday as the frontal boundary dissipates. The entire period cloud end up being cloudy, damp, and relatively cool in the southwest part of the cwa, especially northwest nc, while areas closer to i-64 should see periods of Sun and slightly warmer daytime temperatures. Hazardous weather during this period appears unlikely as the potential for thunderstorms will be minimal and rainfall, at least at this time, should be modest with a non- tropical atmosphere and lowered pwats, that is the deeper moisture relegated further south of our cwa. With 850mb temperatures more in the +14c to +16c range compared to the +20c readings of recent weeks, maximum temperatures should be mainly in the 70s to lower 80s northeast, with lows mainly in the 50s west to 60s east. These readings are just a bit below normal. Long term Tuesday through Friday As of 230 pm edt Thursday... a much cooler and drier period appears to be in store for the into early next week. Highs will be 10 to 15 below what has recently been experienced with daily highs in the 70s or even upper 60s and overnight lows will be 50s west to low 60s east. Will certainly feel different. The surface high will shift north and east toward mid-week with increasing southerly flow and warmer temperatures along with renewed chances for mainly afternoon convection. An approaching front toward mid- to late late week will possibly trigger a few stronger thunderstorms in an increasingly warm and unstable air mass. A trough of low pressure currently along the fl coast has been given a 30 percent chance of tropical storm formation near the sc nc coast in the latest nhc 5- day outlook but impacts on the local weather look to be negligible or minimal at this writing. Aviation 00z Saturday through Wednesday As of 720 pm edt Friday... frontal boundary has moved south of the area this evening. Behind the front, warm moist air will continue to move over incoming cool surface wedge. A low stratus deck and or fog will move across the area with sites becoming ifr or lower through Saturday morning. There may be some gradual improvement in cigs toward the end of the period but will not get too specific that far out. Winds will become northerly behind the front. Extended aviation discussion Improving conditions with more in the way ofVFR will be possible for Sunday, pending just how far south of the mid atlantic area the front progresses. Some MVFR showers are possible in the southwest virginia and northwest north carolina on Monday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms with MVFR conditions are expected Tuesday. Rnk watches warnings advisories Va... None. Nc... None. Wv... None. Synopsis... mbs near term... mbs rcs short term... Rab long term... Rab aviation... AMS mbs rcs

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.
