AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wakefield VA 1238 PM EDT Mon Aug 10 2020

SYNOPSIS. High pressure settles into the area today and then lingers nearby through midweek. Isolated showers and thunderstorms today, with daily chances increasing for the middle to end of the week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/. As of 1100 AM EDT Monday .

Typical Summer wx pattern over the region w/ very warm-hot and humid conditions continuing Wrt PoPs. HRRR has best coverage for convection of the hi-res models . w/ generally highest PoPs (20-30%) S of I 64 to interior NE NC this afternoon-early this evening. Any storms could produce localized very heavy rain/flooding Otw. SCT CU w/ light SSE winds. Highs from the u80s-l90s.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. As of 1100 AM EDT Monday .

Precip will wane after sunset, with dry conditions area wide by 03Z. Low temps tonight in the upper 60s to lower 70s.

A shortwave crossing the area combined with a weak surface boundary in the vicinity of the area will increase storm chances for Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon/evening. Chance pops (30-50%) both days inland and then tapering off to slight chance closer to the coast.

High temps both days upper 80s to lower 90s. Low temps 70-75.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/. As of 340 PM EDT Sunday .

The medium range period begins Wed night with a typical upper level ridge centered well off the SE coast and an upper trough to the E of Hudson Bay Canada. The models differ with respect to how progressive that upper trough is while moving to the SE Thu-Sat. The 12Z/09 GFS is quite a bit more progressive with the upper trough pushing off to Atlantic Canada Fri and then well offshore on Sat. This keeps the upper ridge along the Carolina/SE coast and would make it difficult for a front to sag S into the local area through the weekend. The ECMWF and GEM show more of a potential for a blocking pattern and a sfc front stalling over the local area Fri-Sat and possibly even into Sunday. Will be following a blended solution at this point which will incorporate an unsettled pattern with above climo PoPs through the period, but not to the extent of the operational ECMWF/GEM just yet. Highs Thu will be in the upper 80s/around 90F with increasing PoPs by aftn as the front slowly approaches from the N. Beyond that, with the increasing uncertainty as to how far S the front gets, have a fairly broad- brushed high chance PoP (~50%) Fri-Sun with some low end likely PoPs Fri W of I-95. Highs Fri-Sun will be mainly in the mid to upper 80s with lows primarily between 70-75F with some upper 60s possible in the Piedmont through the period. If the ECMWF/GEM solutions verify, highs will likely be a bit cooler especially over the N.

AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. As of 1235 PM EDT Monday .

Outside of ISOLD tstms this afternoon/early this evening and patchy FG again late tonight . VFR conditions expected through the 18Z TAF forecast period. Mostly VFR conditions expected through mid week outside of scattered afternoon/evening tstms which could result in brief flight restrictions. There is an increased chance of SHRAs/tstms late in the week.

MARINE. As of 230 AM EDT Monday .

No headlines through the week as high pressure becomes the dominate weather feature across the waters. Low pressure will move east along a sfc trof late this week.

SSE winds aob 10 kts during the overnight/morning hrs increasing to 10-15 kts during the aftn/eve hrs. Waves 1-2 ft. Seas arnd 2 ft. Could see an uptick in seas (2-3 ft) late this week.

AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. MD . None. NC . None. VA . None. MARINE . None.

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.
