Discussion for Wakefield, VA
MARINE... As of 300 pm EDT Friday... Key Messages: - A few NE gusts to 20 kt in the southern Chesapeake Bay and coastal waters this evening. - Generally tranquil through the weekend with NE winds of 5-15 kt Saturday becoming southerly by Sunday evening. - Southerly winds of 10-15 kt with chances for thunderstorms each day next week. NE winds are slowly coming down behind the cold frontal passage this morning. Most places now less than 15 kt although there are still a few gusts to 20 kt especially at the elevated sites. With the high pressure building from the north tonight, expect the NE winds to continue while slowly decreasing especially across the northern waters. E-NE winds will continue at the 5 to 15 kt range on Saturday (highest winds lower bay and southern coastal waters) before the high shifts offshore by Sunday. This will allow winds to turn southerly by Sunday evening. Summerlike marine conditions return for next week with much of the week dominated by southerly winds at 10 to 15 kt. Seas generally 2 to 4 feet over the ocean and 1 to 3 feet in the bay through the forecast period. Will maintain the moderate rip current risk for the southern waters on Saturday due to the NE flow and surf up to 3 ft. Northern waters will remain low on Saturday with lighter onshore flow and waves only around 2 ft. Low rip current risk on Sunday with high pressure overhead.
