AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Wakefield VA 350 AM EST Mon Feb 17 2025

SYNOPSIS
High pressure returns early this week with dry conditions.
The next system will likely bring wintry weather to the lower Mid- Atlantic region Wednesday and Thursday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/
As of 330 AM EST Monday...

Key Messages:

- Dry Monday and Tuesday with sunny to mostly sunny skies with strong high pressure in Canada extending to the SE.

Strong +1035mb high pressure builds in from Canada to the midwest as a 974mb low pressure moves off the coast of Maine. WNW winds continue to be breezy with gusts up to 20-25 mph as of early this morning. The strong pressure gradient will continue to bring breezy conditions through Monday with gusts up to 15-20 mph. Cold air advection from behind the cold front associated with the low pressure will keep the boundary layer mixed, preventing radiational cooling this morning. Temps this morning will reach lows in the upper 20s in the piedmont and lower 30s for the majority of the area. Highs will reach the mid 40s for most with lower 40s in the piedmont and Eastern Shore. Monday night, clouds will begin to build in from the W with winds decreasing. Overnight lows will reach down to the mid 20s for the piedmont and Eastern Shore with most of the area in the upper 20s.

High pressure will continue to influence the region on Tuesday with dry, mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will range from the mid 30s on the Eastern Shore, the upper 40s in the Northern Neck and piedmont, the mid 40s for the rest of the VA area, to the upper 40s for NE NC.
The Eastern Shore will stay cooler than the rest of the CWA with gustier conditions Tuesday. Overnight lows on Tuesday will fall into the lower 20s and upper 20s to lower 30s in SE VA/NE NC.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
As of 345 AM EST Monday...

Key Messages:

- Potential continues to increase for a significant winter storm to impact the region Wednesday into Thursday.

Cold weather remains persistent through the middle of the week as an Arctic high moves out of Canada and into the north-central Plains.
High pressure will build south and east as low pressure develops across the Gulf Coast and lifts northeast off the Atlantic coast.

The latest 00z/17 operational models and their respective ensembles (GFS/ECMWF/Canadian) continue to show the potential for a significant winter storm across the majority of the CWA Wednesday into early Thursday. A southern stream shortwave is expected to move across the southern United States, with low pressure starting to develop along the southeastern coast and then lifting north- northeast. Precip spreads in from west to east late Wednesday morning with most of the QPF/winter wx expected to come from 18z Wednesday through about sunrise on Thursday with rapid drying aloft expected from SW to NE on Thursday, bringing accumulating snowfall to an end by early Thursday afternoon. The 00z operational models have all trended towards a weaker and more suppressed low vs the 12z guidance. QPF has accordingly come down a bit as well. Consensus of the 00z models has shifted the axis of heavier snowfall to the south and east. The weaker/suppressed low and lower QPF results in a storm total snowfall forecast of 4-8" across the local area with the highest totals focused east of I-95 into the Hampton Roads metro and NE into the Eastern Shore. With the general SE trend have cut back on the ice accumulations with this forecast but the 00z NAM still has a decent corridor of mixed precip across the south so have maintained some ice accumulation in these areas but kept totals aob 0.15". This portion of the forecast remains in flux with some significant shifts in sensible weather across the region still possible. This system still looks like a Winter Storm Warning level event across much of the local area, however, given the significant changes with this model cycle will hold off on issuing any watches at this time.

High pressure builds into the region as precip exits offshore on Thursday. Lows Thursday night will be cold but specific values will depend heavily on where the heaviest snow falls.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
As of 345 AM EST Monday...

Key Messages:

- Cold and dry Friday into the weekend

Temperatures increase a bit on Friday with mostly sunny skies but again specifics will depend on where and how much snow falls across the area. For now, will show temps in the upper 30s W and NW with mid 30s for the remainder of the area. Cold Friday night with lows in the teens to low 20s. Warmer Saturday and Sunday as high pressure moves offshore. Highs Saturday around 40 degrees with lows overnight in the low 20s. Highs Sunday rebound into the low/mid 40 with overnight lows in the mid to upper 20s.

AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
As of 1245 AM EST Monday...

VFR conditions prevail through the 06z/17 TAF period. High pressure builds into the area as low pressure moves off the far NE. WNW winds continue to be breezy at 15-20kt with gusts up to 25-30 kt. A brief lapse in gusts may occur right around 12z, but overall will continue to gust until 21-23z/17 when winds become light. Clear skies are expected, with a few high clouds building in before sunrise Monday.

Outlook: High pressure will continue building in Monday and Tuesday keeping conditions dry and VFR. A low pressure system is developing bringing likely wintry precip in forms of snow and/or wintry mix Wednesday into Thursday with degraded flight conditions likely. Dry and VFR conditions return Thursday night into Friday.

MARINE
As of 345 AM EST Monday...

Key messages:

- Gale Warnings remain in effect for all waters through most of this morning, and for the northern bay/ocean through 1 PM.

- Winds gradually decrease today and tonight, and should fall below SCA criteria by midnight.

- Sub-SCA conditions are expected late tonight-Tuesday evening

- Another more wintry system will bring solid SCA to gale conditions to the waters from Wednesday through Thursday night.

A strong cold front is now well south of the waters early this morning. NW winds are averaging 20-30 kt with 35-40 kt gusts at this hour...with 5-8 ft seas/3-5 ft waves. Gale Warnings remain in effect for the rivers until 7 AM, southern bay/coastal waters until 10 AM, and northern bay/coastal waters until 1 PM.

Conditions will gradually improve today (especially by late in the day). While the lower bay and southern coastal waters will likely drop below gale criteria by late morning, conditions could linger into the afternoon across northern waters where the pressure gradient will be tighter (and that's why the warning goes until 1 PM here). SCAs will eventually be needed to replace the Gale Warnings...and gusts should fall below SCA criteria by midnight tonight. Sub-advisory conditions are then anticipated from late tonight through most of Tuesday night as high pressure builds over the area. Attention then turns to a deepening surface low that is progged to track NNE from the Southeast CONUS coast to off the Mid- Atlantic coast from Wednesday-Thursday. NE winds (and waves/seas)
will likely rise above SCA criteria across the southern waters by mid-late Wed AM...with solid SCA conditions (NE winds of 20-25 kt with gusts to 30 kt) likely by Wed evening. Winds turn to the N then NW from Wed night-Thu as the strengthening low pulls away from the area. Wind speeds will continue to increase during this time as the pressure gradient tightens on the back side of the low. While there is still some uncertainty regarding the track/strength of the low...confidence in a period of 35-40 kt gusts continues to increase from Thu through the first part of Thu night. Seas build to 5-8 ft by Thu, with 4-5 ft waves on the bay. Winds gradually decrease on Friday, but likely remain above SCA criteria through at least Fri evening.

HYDROLOGY
As of 345 AM EST Monday...

River Flood Warnings remain in effect for the James River at Cartersville, Richmond-Westham, and the Richmond Locks, and also for the Appomattox River at Farmville, Mattoax, and Matoaca. Warnings also continue for the Meherrin River near Lawrenceville and the Nottoway River near Stony Creek/Sebrell. These points will see minor to moderate flooding, which will likely continue for the next few days. See water.noaa.gov/wfo/akq for the latest site specific information.
