.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND SUNDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR NW TO DROP INTO THEN AREA TONIGHT AND
LINGER INTO SUNDAY AS IMPULSES IN NW FLOW ALOFT AFFECT THE REGION.

THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE

AREA...YIELDING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...
ILL DEFINED W TO E FRONTAL BOUNDARY PAIRED WITH A DEVELOPING
PIEDMONT TROUGH WILL BRING A GENERAL SW SYNOPTIC FLOW WITH A COASTAL
BACKING ON ACCOUNT OF SEA BREEZE. THIS SETUP ALSO SOMETIMES GIVES
RISE TO TRICKY-TO-TIME CONVECTION POPPING UP TO THE NW AND HEADING
THIS WAY. RUC FCST SEEMS RATHER PLAUSIBLE IN TAKING A PIECE OF
ENERGY ACRS THE REGION AROUND 22Z. TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE AHEAD OF
THIS IMPLUSE THIS AFTERNOON. ANOTHER PIECE MAY TRAVERSE THE AREA IN
A SIMILAR FASHION JUST AFTER SUNSET SO THE VCTS WILL HAVE TO BE LEFT
IN MOST TERMINALS UNTIL 0300Z OR SO. IF SOME MORE CERTAINTY
REGARDING THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT COMES ABOUT THEN TEMPO GROUPS CAN
BE INSERTED.

&&

.MARINE...
RESIDUAL CONVECTIVE COLD POOL AND ASSOCIATED DISTURBED SURFACE WIND
FIELDS CONTINUE TO AFFECT MAINLY THE OFFSHORE WATERS SOUTH OF THE
FRYING PAN SHOALS BUOY. THE SYNOPTIC SW FLOW HAS REESTABLISHED
ITSELF OVER MOST OTHER AREAS WITH THE SEABREEZE NOW PRODUCING SOLID
15 KT WINDS NEARSHORE WITH A FEW GUSTS NOW RECORDED OVER 20 KNOTS AT
COASTAL MESONET SITES.

AN INDISTINCT BOUNDARY SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS WILL
BECOME MORE DISTINCT OVERNIGHT AS IT LIKELY FOCUSES CONVECTION ALONG
IT. BY MORNING THE FRONT SHOULD BE IN THE MYRTLE BEACH VICINITY.
ALTHOUGH THE FRONT WILL RETURN NORTH DURING THE DAY SUNDAY...EXPECT
TO SEE WINDS SHIFT YET AGAIN LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY WILL SEE GENERALLY EASTERLY FLOW WITH THE FRONT FINALLY
SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...A
CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REDEVELOP WITH HIGH
PRESSURE OFFSHORE.

ASIDE FROM OCCASIONAL SEABREEZE-INDUCED GUSTS NEARSHORE AROUND 20
KNOTS THROUGH THIS EVENING AND AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...
WINDS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD SHOULD REMAIN 15 KT OR LESS. SEAS WILL
BE HIGHEST THROUGH SUNDAY...THEN FALL TO 2-3 FT THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD WITH GENERALLY LIGHTER FLOW EXPECTED.
