Fxus61 kakq 260600 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 200 am edt Mon aug 26 2019 Synopsis High pressure remains over new england through Tuesday as low pressure is slow to lift northeast well off the carolina coast. Near term until 6 am this morning As of 900 pm edt Sunday... an increasingly moist NE flow will result in widespread low and mid level clouds after midnight into Monday morning. Shwrs are currently confined to the ERN shore with high res data showing this moisture moving west of the ches bay late but not quite to the i95 corridor before 12z. Thus, pt to mstly cldy skies become cldy to mstly cldy after midnite. Kept 20 pop just west of the bay, 20-30 pop ivof the bay with 30-40 pop along the ERN shore. Lows upr 50s WRN most zones to upr 60s sern coastal areas. Short term 6 am this morning through Wednesday As of 320 pm edt Sunday... model preference continued to follow a wpc (gfs ecmwf) blend. Models are slowly coming into better agreement with weak sfc low NE off the ga north fl coast late tonight, with the system sliding slowly NE well off the carolina coast through the day on Tuesday. Onshore flow increases a bit tomorrow, which allows for a greater coverage of clouds and also a bit more in the way of isolated to widely sct showers (especially east of i-95). Sfc high stays parked over new england, with resultant E to NE low level onshore flow lingering over the local area. Deeper moisture looks to stay offshore, but will see a gradual increase in dewpts and precipitable water values through midweek. Have maintained mostly chance pops for both Tue wed, primarily due to the moisture overrunning the wedging high rather than the sfc low itself (as it will be well offshore). At this time, given a farther offshore track, weak shear and rather ragged appearance, trends are slightly less bullish regarding further development in the short term. That said, we will need to continue monitoring potential further tropical development evolution with this system through midweek. Highs will be mainly in the upper 70s lower 80s mon, and 80-85f tue, with lows in the 60s Sun night Mon am and mid 60s to lower 70s mon night Tue am. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday As of 345 pm edt Sunday... cold front will be moving off our coast early Thursday with sfc high pressure building into the area. Pops were kept in (mainly east of i-95) Thursday. Downslope flow will keep most of the area dry through the extended forecast period. However, the front stalls along the carolina coast, which may bring a few showers to NE nc and va beach. Temperature won't drop too much behind the front. High will be mainly in the low-mid 80 and lows in the 60s inland to 70 near the ocean and bay thur-fri. Temperatures then begin to climb once again ahead of another cold front next weekend. Temperatures may reach the low 90s along the i-95 corridor Saturday and Sunday. The beaches will be slightly cooler with temperatures reaching the mid 80s. Chance of showers and thunderstorms return for Sunday afternoon with

the font. Aviation 06z Monday through Friday As of 200 am edt Monday... high pressure is anchored over NRN new england as 06z, with a stationary front and low pressure off the southeast coast. This is producing a nne NE wind of 6-12kt across the area. NE flow will continue today with marine st sc expected to push onshore withVFR CIGS of 4-5kft and occasional MVFR CIGS of 1.5-2.5kft. Iso-sct showers are also expected to push inland through the day. A NE wind of 12-15kt is expected along the coast with occasional gusts to ~20kt. Remaining mostly cloudy tonight, with some ifr CIGS possible inland mainly at ric, withVFR or MVFR elsewhere. A slight chc of showers will continue Tuesday, then there will be a chc of showers tstms Wednesday aftn evening ahead of a cold front. High pressure returns later in the week. Marine As of 410 pm edt Sunday... late this aftn, sfc high pressure was centered over NRN new england, with a frontal boundary well S and E off the coastal carolinas. NE winds were 10-20 kt with gusts to 25 kt over the marine waters. Waves were 1-3 ft, with seas 4-7 ft. The high will remain over NRN new england tonight into early tue, as an inverted trough develops along the dissipated frontal boundary. Weak low pressure will lift NE well offshore along this boundary late tonight into wed. This will result in strong ne winds over most of the waters into Mon night, before weakening and becoming NE or E late Mon night into early wed morning. Sca flags will continue into tonight for the lower james and the currituck snd, thru Mon aftn evening for the ches bay, and thru tue for the entire coastal waters. By Tue night and wed, the wind will be ne-se less than 10 kt. Equipment As of 900 pm edt Sunday... kdox radar has returned to normal operations. Akq watches warnings advisories Md... None. Nc...

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
