(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kakq 252025 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 425 pm edt Sun aug 25 2019 Synopsis A cold front will remain stalled well to our south through tonight. High pressure will become centered over new england early Monday through Tuesday as low pressure is slow to lift northeast well off the carolina coast. Near term until 6 am Monday morning As of 320 pm edt Sunday... latest weather analysis reveals 1028mb surface high pressure centered over atlantic canada and northern new england wedging down east of the appalachians into the mid-atlantic. To the south, sfc cold front remains well south of the region, draped across S ga fl panhandle and extending out offshore of the carolina coast. Visible Sat imagery shows sct CU have developed mainly along and north of us-460 over central and eastern va and the lower eastern shore, with bkn-sct mid-level cloudiness closer to the front along the va nc coast and into NE nc along the albemarle sound, where low level moisture remains the highest. Have allowed for some iso to widely sct showers in the grids as modest convergence offshore of the S nj de coast nudges toward the sby oxb area from late aftn into this evening. Clouds briefly diminish with loss of heating this evening, but expect re-development, W at least partial coverage of low stratus toward morning. A few sprinkles or some patchy dz also possible toward daybreak along the bay and over the eastern shore. Lows in the 60s, though some mid to upper 50s again possible inland. Short term 6 am Monday 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 20z Sunday through Friday As of 310 pm edt Sunday... vfr conditions at all TAF sites continue through this evening. High pressure to the north will let CU field scatter out somewhat through early this evening, especially to the north and west of ric-phf line. Low level moisture lingers closer to the coast thus skies will remain sct- bkn across the south east (mainly orf ecg). In addition, a very low ran chance for isolated to scattered rain showers cannot be ruled at eastern taf sites late this afternoon and evening (mainly sby). Gusty northeast wind of 15 to 20 knots at orf ecg continue today and tonight, around 10 knots elsewhere. Low stratus looks to develop after 05-07z Monday, potentially creating sub-VFR conditions at all TAF periods for a period of time Monday morning (most likely kric kphf). Outlook: low pressure developing along a stalled front and high pressure centered to our N NE will keep an easterly flow across the region through tue, allowing for increasing low-level moisture, a chance for showers, and the potential for sub-vfr ceilings from time to time (especially at eastern TAF locations) mon-tue. 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 330 pm edt Sunday... kdox radar is offline this afternoon due to an equipment issue. Technicians are awaiting additional parts to complete repairs. There is also a separate communications issue that is preventing updates through usual free text message (ftm) product.

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. |
