AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
111 PM EST SAT DEC 15 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A COMPLEX AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GULF COAST STATES WILL
INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST TO NEW ENGLAND BY SUNDAY EVENING.
THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE LOCAL AREA THROUGH TONIGHT AND
THE TRAILING STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION EARLY
SUNDAY. COOL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING FROM TEXAS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS
THE AREA LATE SUNDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WITH THE
CENTER OF THIS HIGH TRAVERSING THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 9 AM SATURDAY...NO REAL CHANGES AT THE MOMENT UNTIL NEW 12Z
MODEL DATA MAKES IT IN. 06Z MODELS CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT OVERRUNNING
STRATIFORM PCPN ENGULFING THE AREA BETWEEN 18Z SAT AND 00Z SUN.
ALREADY...PCPN BEGINNING TO FILL IN OFF THE CAPE FEAR COAST VIA KLTX
88-D...AND COMPLEMENTS OF THE COASTAL TROF DEVELOPMENT. HAVE KEPT
THE 3 AM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION TO CONTINUE HIGHLIGHT THE THINKING
ACROSS THE AREA.

AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...THE WARM FRONT SHOULD BE INCREDIBLY WELL
DEFINED TONIGHT AND WILL EASILY MAKE IT THROUGH THE FIRST ROW OF
COASTAL COUNTIES SHORTLY AFTER DARK. THE GFS AND NAM ARE IN
SURPRISINGLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE INLAND PENETRATION OF THE
FRONT...BOTH SHOWING THE FRONT MAKING IT ALMOST UP TO INTERSTATE-95
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE BEING OVERTAKEN BY THE STRONG COLD FRONT
MOVING QUICKLY EAST. WINDS IN THE WARM SECTOR WILL BECOME QUITE
BREEZY OVERNIGHT. DESPITE LIMITED VERTICAL MIXING DUE TO RATHER
STABLE BOUNDARY-LAYER TEMPERATURE PROFILES...GUSTS SHOULD STILL
REACH 30 MPH. WINDS JUST A 1000 FT OFF THE SURFACE SHOULD INCREASE
TO 40-45 KT.

SYNOPTIC EFFECTS WILL OVERWHELM ANY NORMAL DIURNAL TEMPERATURE
VARIATIONS AND WILL MAKE FOR SOME TRICKY FORECASTING TODAY AND
TONIGHT. HIGHS TODAY WILL OCCUR AT THE TAIL END OF THE VERIFICATION
PERIOD...00Z OR 7 PM...AND SHOULD RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S ALONG THE
COAST TO THE LOWER AND MID 50S WEST OF I-95. AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES
ASHORE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE NEAR THE COAST WITH
READINGS POTENTIALLY IN THE UPPER 60S AFTER MIDNIGHT  FARTHER
INLAND TEMPERATURES WILL RISE SLOWLY THROUGH THE 50S UP UNTIL 3-4
AM...THEN BEGIN TO FALL AS COOLER AIR ACROSS CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA
PUSHES EAST.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS APPEAR TO BE SUBSTANTIAL GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF
SYNOPTIC LIFT FORECAST AND THE RICH MOISTURE SOURCES AVAILABLE TO
THIS SYSTEM. OUR FORECAST TOTALS THROUGH TONIGHT AVERAGE ABOUT 1.25
INCHES...PERHAPS SLIGHTLY HIGHER NEAR THE COAST ASSUMING SOME
CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION DEVELOPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...COLD FRONT TIMING ON SUNDAY IS GOING TO
DETERMINE HOW HIGH TEMPERATURES CLIMB AND HOW LONG PRECIP LINGERS IN
THE REGION. LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS FROPA EARLY LATE MORNING OR
EARLY AFTERNOON SUNDAY. EXPECT SOME PRECIP TO LINGER BEYOND
12Z...WITH DRYING OCCURRING FROM SW TO NE.

ONCE THE FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE ON SUNDAY...STRONG COLD ADVECTION
GETS GOING WHICH WILL RESULT IN TEMPERATURES FALLING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WIND SPEEDS WILL MEET ADVISORY
CRITERIA BUT DO EXPECT STRONG WINDS INTO MONDAY MORNING.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW CLIMO MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD ON TUESDAY WILL MIGRATE
OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. AIR MASS IS VERY DRY WITH
LITTLE TO NO CLOUD EXPECTED. DESPITE ABUNDANT SUN...HIGHS ON TUESDAY
WILL REMAIN BELOW CLIMO. RETURN FLOW SETS UP ON WEDNESDAY...AS HIGH
CENTER PUSHES OFFSHORE...WITH A RETURN TO NEAR TO ABOVE CLIMO
TEMPERATURES.

LATEST GFS AND ECMWF BOTH CONTINUE TO SHOW ANOTHER LOW/COLD FRONT
IMPACTING THE EASTERN US LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SINCE BOTH MODELS
HAVE BEEN SHOWING THIS FEATURE FOR A FEW RUNS NOW...WENT AHEAD AND
BUMPED POPS INTO THE LOW CHANCE RANGE FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT THERE
IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR THINGS TO GO WRONG.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH THROUGH TODAY. THE FRONT WILL PUSH
INLAND TONIGHT ACROSS EASTERN NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA. THEREFORE
RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH
TODAY...STARTING OUT AS LIGHT DRIZZLE OR RAIN AND BECOMING
STEADIER HEADING INTO THIS EVENING. CEILINGS WILL DROP FROM MVFR
INTO THE IFR RANGE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. VERY POOR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FOR FLORENCE AND LUMBERTON THIS EVENING AS
CEILINGS MAY DROP TO ONLY 200 FT. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD
IMPROVE HEADING INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AS THE WARM FRONT MAKES IT
WAY FARTHER INLAND...BUT THEN WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST. JUST AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR A PERIOD OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AS
MORE EASTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL BE OVERLAID WITH A S-SE LOW LEVEL
JET ONLY 1 OR 2 THOUSAND FEET OVERHEAD.

ONCE THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY CLEARS THE COAST DURING THE LATE MORNING
HOURS...STRONG AND GUSTY WEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY. OTHERWISE NO AVIATION WEATHER HAZARDS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 9 AM SATURDAY...SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING EAST OF THE
MOUTH OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER...TO LIFT NORTH AS A WARM FRONT. IT WILL
THE INVERTED SFC COASTAL TROF HAS NOW DEVELOPED OFF THE
CAROLINAS...AND LIES PARALLEL TO THE COASTLINE JUST OFFSHORE. THE
WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH AND HOOK UP WITH THE COASTAL TROF THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. QUICK GLANCE OF 12Z DATA INDICATES...WINDS
JUST DO BREACH GALE FORCE FOR WATERS VCNTY FRYING PAN SHOALS AFER
COASTAL FRONT/TROF PASSAGE. AS A RESULT...WILL GO WITH A GALE
WARNING FOR NC WATERS STARTING AT MIDNIGHT.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS SUNDAY WITH
WINDS APPROACHING GALE FORCE BOTH AHEAD AND BEHIND THE FRONT.
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE FOUND BEHIND THE FRONT AS STRONG COLD
ADVECTION AND TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT PRODUCE STRONG OFFSHORE
FLOW. THINK THERE WILL BE SOME GUSTS AT OR ABOVE GALE
STRENGTH...ESPECIALLY NEAR FRYING PAN SHOALS...SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH
OFFSHORE FLOW DECREASING AND BECOMING MORE NORTHERLY. SEAS WILL
QUICKLY SUBSIDE SUNDAY NIGHT AS OFFSHORE COMPONENT OF WINDS PUSH
HIGHEST SEAS OUT TO 20 NM.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...SURFACE HIGH OVER THE AREA TUESDAY WILL MOVE
OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY WITH LIGHT AND HIGHLY VARIABLE FLOW AT THE
SURFACE. LIGHT WINDS WILL KEEP SEAS 3 FT OR LESS ACROSS THE WATERS
THROUGH THE PERIOD.
