(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kakq 230600 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 200 am edt Fri aug 23 2019 Synopsis Trough of low pressure will remain over the local area overnight. A cold front slowly crosses the area on Friday nearly stalling out near the nc va line Friday night into Saturday, before finally pushing through the carolinas late Saturday into Sunday. Near term until 6 am this morning As of 925 pm edt Thursday... convection winding down through the rest of the night. Otw... Vrb clouds-partly cloudy W lows in the l70s W to the m70s e. Short term 6 am this morning through Sunday As of 345 pm edt Thursday... cold front begins to cross the area from the NW on Friday but will likely only make it to northern to central va by the afternoon. 0- 6km mean wind will become closely aligned with the stalling front. This will bring a concern of training storms especially on Friday evening. Pwat values will be in the 2-2.5 inch range. Wpc has placed se va and NE nc in a slight risk for excessive rainfall. Right now have likely pops in this region as numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected. High temps Friday will be a bit cooler across the north with upper 70s to lower 80s, but mid to upper 80s across southern va and NE nc ahead of the front. The sfc cold front will continue to progress through southern va in nc on Friday evening with showers expected to the north and convection still on the southern side of the frontal boundary. The models are have some difficulty resolving the frontal position with the NAM a little farther south with the front to begin the period. So have ramped up pops a little higher to categorical levels in the south Friday evening into the overnight hours. By Saturday morning the front will be south of the county warning area into central and southern nc. But with the lingering low level moisture the clearing will be slow so have held on to pops longer in the south and slowed the clearing of the clouds a bit more. With the lingering clouds, temperatures will be moving little during the day with highs in the upper 70s to around 80. Could be a touch cooler should the rain be more persistent across southern portions of the area. For Sat night into Sunday the models have been a little stronger with the impact of the high pressure system over NE and the great lakes states. This is helping to push the front a little farther south and push drier air into more of the region including the southern va piedmont. So have tapered back on the low chc pops to just ERN nc and parts of the va tidewater sat night and little northern movement on Sunday. But will need to watch for what may try to develop across the us SE coast as far as a tropical system which the ECMWF develops from what is currently in the bahamas. This could push more moisture back north of the front and spread rain chances farther north and west. Temperatures should recover some back into the lower 80s with some additional sunshine. Long term Sunday night through Thursday As of 4 pm edt Wednesday... the extended period (Monday) will start with below normal temps as high pressure remains centered over the canadian maritimes with low pressure off the nc outer banks. There is a chc of a few showers tstms (mainly across southern eastern portions of the cwa) on mon. Highs mainly in the low 80s on mon. Expect slowly warming temperatures throughout next week as the aforementioned area of high pressure retreats offshore and the low off the outer banks moves to our northeast. Mainly dry on Tue (although an isolated aftn-evening tstm cannot be ruled out over the area... Mainly south west). There is a better chc for aftn-evening showers tstms on Wed as strong low pressure (sfc-aloft) tracks over ontario and the trailing cold front slowly approaches the region from the nw. Have pops of 30-35% W 20% e Wed aftn-wed evening. The frontal boundary potentially lingers |
over the area on thu, so kept slight chc low-end chc pops in the grids (highest during the aftn-evening). Highs in the mid 80s on Tue warming into the upper 80s by wed-thu. Low Mon night mainly in the 60s. Slightly warmer Tue night-thu night with lows in the upper 60s NW low 70s se. Aviation 06z Friday through Tuesday As of 200 am edt Friday... a cold front is located over the ohio valley as of 06z, with high pressure centered well off the southeast coast.VFR conditions prevail under sct-bkn high clouds, with a 5-10kt sw wind. An area of ifr stratus has developed over the piedmont well NW of ric, and these lower CIGS should remain well removed from ric early this morning. The cold front will advance to the southeast today, with the leading edge reaching ric and sby by 15-18z, phf orf 21-00z, and ecg 00-03z. Low pressure will track along the boundary and showers tstms are expected to become widespread, primarily after 18z. MVFR ifr vsby is expected in heavy rain, with MVFR and potentially ifr CIGS developing by this evening in NE flow behind the front. A few strong wind gusts are also possible with the initial tstms this aftn. Degraded flight conditions are expected to continue later tonight with a 20-30% chc of showers from ric-sby, and 30-60% over SE va NE nc with some embedded tstms over NE nc. The cold front settles along the carolina coast Saturday into Sunday. Low pressure is expected to develop along the front by Sunday night, before lifting to the NE Monday into Tuesday. A chc of showers will continue, with the highest probability over se va NE nc. Marine As of 400 pm edt Thursday... winds have subsided this afternoon with a southerly flow at 5-10 kt. S to SW winds are expected to increase to 10-15 kt this evening ahead of a cold front. A line of thunderstorms that is over the blue ridge may reach the coast after 00z tonight bringing periods of wind gusts of 20-25 kt. Cold front will move from north to south late tonight and into Friday morning. Ahead of the front, SW winds will be 10-15 kt with gust up to 20 kt. A N wind of 5-10 kt will follow the frontal pass on Friday. Seas in the atlantic will remain 2-3 ft and waves in the chesapeake bay will be around 1 ft on Friday. As a sfc high pressure builds in from the great lakes and a low begins to develop off the SE u.S. Coast on Saturday, the NE winds will increase to 15-20 kt with gust up to 25 kt. SCA may be needed for Sunday-Tuesday as the NE flow persist. Seas may build up to 5-6 ft with possibly 7 ft farther offshore.&& Akq watches warnings advisories Md... None. Nc... None. Va... None.
