AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wakefield VA 1232 AM EST Mon Dec 16 2019
SYNOPSIS. A slow moving front will become nearly stationary across the area overnight into Monday. A low pressure system crossing the mid Atlantic region Tuesday will drag a cold front across the area late Tuesday into early Wednesday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/. As of 1000 PM EST Sunday..
A front is extending across the northern portion of the area tonight (from Charlottesville to the mouth of the Potomac, and across southern Delmarva). The front will move south overnight then stalling across central VA and the VA Eastern Shore. Overnight lows will be in the mid-upper 30s tonight.
A tricky temperature forecast for Monday as the position of the stationary front will determine whether temperatures will reach the 60s or remain in the low 40s. Precip will move into the area from west to east early Monday morning, affecting areas of the central VA Piedmont, northern Richmond metro, Northern Neck and central Delmarva. Precip will likely start as snow/sleet across the MD Eastern shore, and possible rain/snow mix across northwestern Louisa County, VA and northern Caroline County, VA. QPF amounts will be light and surface temps of 33-35 degrees in these areas will likely result in little to no accumulation.
Any snow/sleet will quickly change over to rain shortly after sunrise. Temperatures will be highly variable Monday. The front is expected to stall near Farmville, between Richmond and Petersburg, across the Middle Peninsula, and VA Eastern Shore. North of the front, high temperatures will be in the low to mid 40s, while south of the front will be in the upper 50s to upper 60s.
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/. As of 230 PM EST Sunday .
Monday night the front will make a slow progression to the north as a warm front. A low pressure system will track from the TN valley to the Mid-Atlantic early Tuesday. Temperatures will remain steady or climb slightly Monday night into early Tuesday. Low temps Tuesday morning range from the lower 40s north to mid 50s south. Rain chances increase Tuesday morning ahead of a cold front that will cross the western portions of the CWA Tuesday afternoon and exit eastern portions of the area by late Tuesday into early Wednesday. Rainfall amounts on Tuesday generally in the 0.3 to 0.75 inch range. High temps will be mild as the region sits in the warm sector for much of the day. Expect upper 50s north to mid and upper 60s south.
Conditions improve quickly after the frontal passage as high pressure builds into the region overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Modest CAA and clearing skies should drop temps to the lower 20s NW to around 30 SE by Wednesday morning.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. As of 230 PM EST Sunday .
High pressure remains in control Wednesday through Friday. This will result in dry weather and slightly below normal temps during this period. Low temps Thursday and Friday in the low 20s, near 30 at the coast, and high temps in the 30s/40s. Overnight model runs had a coastal developing over the SE and riding up the Atlantic coast next weekend. 12Z runs of the GFS and ECMWF today have a low developing over the eastern gulf and then slowly drifting off the SE coast over the weekend, while the CMC still tracks the low up the Atlantic coast. With the high uncertainty this far out, just went with low chance pops for next weekend.
AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. As of 1230 AM EST Monday .
VFR conditions at all sites to start the 06z TAF period with some SCT to BKN mid-level clouds (especially northern half of the area) around ~10k feet. KRIC may reach MVFR conditions Monday morning due to cloud bases around 3000 feet due to a stationary boundary lingering across the area. KSBY will likely fall to MVFR by late Monday morning or afternoon with -RA showers and remain MVFR for the majority of the day on Monday into Monday night. Winds will be light and variable to calm Sunday night. South of a stalled boundary winds will become SW around 10 kt (mainly for KPHF/KECG/KORF)
OUTLOOK . Tuesday has the potential for degraded flight conditions due to low clouds and rain across all airports ahead of a cold front which passes through the region Tuesday evening. High pressure builds Wednesday with VFR conditions returning.
MARINE. As of 615 PM EST Sunday .
Latest analysis reveals that the pressure gradient has weakened considerably over the region this evening, with sfc high pressure centered to our NW progged to move E into the northern mid-Atlantic overnight. This will force a weak backdoor cold front through the region. Have cancelled the one remaining SCA headline across the northern coastal waters as seas have subsided to 3-4 ft (with generally 2-3 ft seas elsewhere) and waves in the Bay only ~1 foot. Expect winds to shift to the NE over the upper Bay/northern coastal waters after 03Z, spreading farther south after midnight. Some uptick in wind speeds is anticipated (to 10-15kt) along with waves in the Bay building to around 2 ft.
Much of the 12z/15 model suite seem to be in fair to good agreement with respect to handling of winds as the front settles south over the area Monday, w/low pressure sliding along the boundary toward the local area from the mid-south into Monday night through Tuesday. Typical minor timing differences remain during this period, but in general, ENE wind of 5-10kt is expected N of the boundary, with 10-15kt SSW wind to the S of the boundary. Seas should be 2-3ft while the boundary is over the area, with 1-2ft waves in the Bay.
By late morning Tuesday into Tue aftn, SW wind could briefly increase to 15-20kt for the lower Bay, Currituck Sound and ocean zones, which would allow for 3-4ft seas and 2-3ft waves in the lower Bay and result in some SCA winds Tue aftn. However, predominate SCA conditions not anticipated until the cold front drops across the waters Tuesday evening, with modest cold air advection occurring Tuesday night with a NNW wind increasing to 20-25kt. A second, stronger surge of CAA comes with secondary cold front (and another round of CAA) Wednesday night, w/W-NW winds increasing to ~25-30 kt. Overall, SCAs are likely for Tuesday night through early Thursday, with perhaps a lull during the day Wednesday before secondary surge of cold air arrives Wed night. High pressure returns Thursday into Friday, with improving boating conditions.
