AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Expanded the Heat Advisories for today to include the Richmond
Metro and interior portions of the Northern Neck.

Updated Equipment section.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) A major heat wave is likely beginning today,
peaking Thursday through Saturday, before breaking down by late this
weekend. This has the potential to be the most significant in both
magnitude and duration since July 2012 for most of the CWA.

2) Temperatures gradually trend closer to normal late
in the Holiday weekend and beyond, along with a more unsettled
pattern.

.DISCUSSION...
As of 1125 AM EDT Wednesday...

KEY MESSAGE 1...A major heat wave is likely beginning today,
peaking Thursday through Saturday, before breaking down by late this
weekend. This has the potential to be the most significant in both
magnitude and duration since July 2012 for most of the CWA.

The 12z CAMs and HREF have trended hotter for today. As such,
raised temps slightly which pushes heat indices into Heat
Advisory criteria a bit farther east. The 12z HREF probs for
heat indices of 105F+ for this afternoon increased to 60-75%
(locally higher) for the Richmond Metro as well interior
portions of the Northern Neck. Therefore, confidence has
increased enough to expand the Heat Advisory for this afternoon
to include those areas.

     Previous Discussion...

The 00z/01 ensemble guidance continues to remain in decent agreement
on a anomalously strong upper level ridge building across the
eastern half of the United States starting today and then breaking
down by the Holiday Weekend. There continues to remain subtle
differences in exact location of the location of the ridge,
nevertheless, confidence continues to remain high that this will
lead to a significant heat wave for the local area, potentially the
most widespread and of longest duration since July 2012.

Today will be first day of the prolonged heat wave as the upper
level ridge slowly propagates eastward and continues to strengthen.
While at the surface High pressure will be firmly in control
allowing for strong diurnal heating under mostly clear skies.
This will allow for temperatures inland to rise in the middle to
upper 90s especially along and west of I-95. While closer to the
coast and across the SE, temperatures will be in the lower 90s. Dew
points are forecasted to be in the upper 60s across the coast and SE
but, will remain steady in the low 70s west of I-95. This will lead
to Heat Indices in the triple digits across the west with some areas
approaching 105F+. The highest confidence for these areas are across
portions of the Piedmont and the far northwest where Heat Advisories
remain in effect through this evening.

Thursday through Saturday, Ensembles show a 594dm upper level ridge
and 850 temps of 21-24C, leading to increasing confidence that some
areas could see temperatures at or above 100F, especially Thursday
through Saturday. If temperatures reach this high, expect the dew
points to mix out inland. This could potentially put a cap on the
higher- end heat index scenarios, however, Heat Indices are likely
to be close to Extreme Heat Warning criteria. Along the coastal
zones adjacent to the bay and SE, there could likely be seabreeze
development due to the weak pressure gradient at the surface. This
will allow for slightly lower temps but higher dews. This will still
lead to similar Heat Indices. At this time Thursday and Friday
continue to have the highest confidence on Heat Indices nearing or
just slightly above 110F. However, there is not enough confidence in
any upgrade to a warning at this time. This is due to dew points
potentially mixing out and causing Heat Indices to be below warning
criteria. However, there is potential that both the VA Eastern Shore
and Mecklenburg County could potentially near 110 Heat Index Friday
and decided to add them to the Extreme Heat Watch for Friday. Will
also note, that Friday currently looks to be the hottest day of the
week with the possibility of widespread heat headlines as Heat
Indices will likely be 105-110F+.

Saturday`s temperatures are somewhat more uncertain at this time as
the ridge begins to break down with multiple shortwaves moving
through that could potentially lead to increased cloud cover and
higher chances for showers and thunderstorms. If showers and storms
do not fire temperatures could be just as high as Friday along with
widespread Heat Indices of 105-110F+. With the possibility of these
showers and storms the Heat Watch will not be expanded through
Saturday at this time.

Will also make a quick note about low temperatures tonight through
Saturday night. They will likely be in the low to middle 70s, with
urban areas 75-80, allowing for little relief from the heat during
the day.


KEY MESSAGE 2...Temperatures gradually trend closer to normal late
in the Holiday weekend and beyond, along with a more unsettled
pattern.

The ridge continues to break down Sunday, as multiple shortwaves
gradually turn the flow aloft to the W-NW late in the weekend and
beyond. It continues to look like a slow process, so temperatures
likely stay above normal through Monday into but with higher chances
for aftn/evening tstms. With a very favorable thermodynamic
environment in place, severe thunderstorms of the pulse variety,
plus possibly upstream MCS activity moving this way from the NW,
would be on the table. With these daily chances in thunderstorms it
could put a cap on how high temperatures climb Sunday and Monday.
Both of these days temps have a solid chance of reaching potential
heat headlines but with thunderstorm chances it could make issuing
heat headlines difficult as time approaches. Otherwise, by next week
temperatures look to return to normal.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 125 PM EDT Wednesday...

VFR conditions will continue through the TAF period, with mostly
clear skies and S-SW winds prevailing. A few gusts to 15-20 kts are
possible this afternoon/evening at SBY, otherwise winds will range
from 6-12 kts.

Outlook: VFR conditions will continue through most of this week
as high pressure builds S across the area and then settles
offshore. Other than isolated showers/storms, mostly dry
conditions are expected through the upcoming week.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 245 PM EDT Wednesday...

Key Messages:

- Sub-SCA marine conditions are expected to prevail through the
week, with southerly winds expected through the weekend.

High pressure remains the dominant feature across the area this
afternoon. Winds are S-SW at 10-15 kts across the local waters. A
few areas of 15-20 kts are being measured in the northern waters,
though this is not widespread. Seas are 2-3 ft, and waves in the Bay
~1-2 ft. This regime of southerly winds will continue through the
rest of the week and into the weekend, with generally sub-SCA
conditions prevailing. S-SW winds will show some diurnal backing to
SSE in the late afternoon/evening each day. With the southerly
winds, there may be some channeling effects within the Bay and
across the nearshore coastal waters, increasing winds to 10-15 kts
during the afternoon. While a few gusts may reach 18-20 kts mainly
late this afternoon into this evening this evening, have opted not
to issue any SCAs for the Bay because it is so marginal and short-
duration. The gradient across the area will relax through the week
and into the weekend, so winds in these areas should continue to
stay below SCA-criteria. Waves in the Bay will remain between 1-2
ft, and seas across the nearshore coastal waters will be 2-3 ft for
the duration of the week.

Rip Currents: Continued with the moderate rip current risk for all
beaches for the remainder of today, with the mention of S-N
longshore currents due to wind direction (parallel to the shore) and
speed. Have decided to go with a low rip risk for all beaches
starting tomorrow through the remainder of the week. Though wave
periods will be 7-9 seconds, winds will not be quite as strong and
will remain parallel to the shore, and seas will average around 2-3
ft. Will continue to mention the longshore current for at least
tomorrow.
