AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC 308 PM EDT SAT JUN 16 2007 .SYNOPSIS... UPPER LOW OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST WILL MOVE EAST ALLOWING RIDGE TO BUILD OVER EASTERN U.S. THIS WEEK. AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE WITH A SOUTHWEST FLOW RESULTING IN HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE WEEK. A WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTH LATE IN THE WEEK AND TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE SLIGHTLY WITH HIGHS AROUND 90. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... SFC LIS -2 TO -5 ACROSS THE CENTRAL POTION OF NC (EAST-WEST) WHICH IS WHERE SHOWERS HAVE BEEN POPPING THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. MUCH MORE UNSTABLE AIR IS FARTHER WEST IN THE WESTERN HALF OF NC. ARW AND GFS HAVE THE SAME BASIC SHORT TERM SOLUTION WITH STORMS FIRING THIS AFTERNOON IN CENTRAL AND WESTERN NC AND MOVING EAST TO THE COAST TONIGHT. I HAVE A 20-30 POP FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. BOTH MODELS SHOW TSTMS OFF THE COAST BY TOMORROW MORNING SO I HAVE NO POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR TOMORROW. LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD CONTINUE WITH RECENT TREND TO BE BELOW MOS A FEW DEGREES. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/... DRY AND WARM/HOT WEATHER EXPECTED SUN AND MONDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRES RIDGE HOLDS ONTO STATE. SW FLOW WILL PUSH TEMPS TO 85 TO 90 ON SUNDAY AND MID TO UPPER 90S ON MONDAY. HUMNDITY WILL ALSO INCREASE IN SW FLOW. LITTLE IN THE WAY OF DYNAMICS. SEABREEZE COULD BE A FACTOR BUT I WILL NOT INCLUDE POPS ATTM. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... SFC RIDGE WILL DOMINATE EARLY IN THE WEEK WITH SW FLOW AND WARM AND HUMID WEATHER. MID TO LATE WEEK A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA AND STALL. THIS SHOULD HELP IN LOWERING DAYTIME HIGHS BACK TO AROUND 90. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTN TSTMS WED-SAT WITH THE WEAK TROF OVER THE AREA HELPING TO PROVIDE LIFT. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... CU ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WILL LEAD TO SOME SCT SHRA WITH ISOL TSRA THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCT TSRA COMING THROUGH THIS EVENING AS A TROF PUSHES E. COULD GET SOME MVFR CONDITIONS AROUND TSRA OR HEAVY SHRA ...BUT OVERALL LOOKING AT VFR CONDITIONS. IF ANY OF THE AIRPORTS RECEIVE RAINFALL COULD HAVE SOME MVFR PATCHY GROUND FOG DEVELOP. FOR NOW AM LEAVING IT OUT OF FCST SINCE RAIN HAS YET TO APPROACH AIRPORTS. SOME CU COULD DEVELOP ON SUN...BUT WITH STRONG SUBSIDENCE DO NOT ANTICIPATE MUCH CLOUDS AND NO SHOWER DEVELOPMENT WITH HIGH PRES IN CONTROL. FOR THE REST OF THE FCST WILL SEE A STRONG RIDGE DEVELOP WITH SW WINDS AND OCCASIONAL AFTERNOON TSRA. PREDOMINANT VFR CONDITIONS. && .MARINE...TODAY IS THE TRANSITION PERIOD AS THE LOW THAT HAS DOMINATED THE W ATLANTIC FINALLY IS DRIVEN OFFSHORE TONIGHT. IN ITS WAKE WILL BUILD A STRONG RIDGE WHICH WILL THE WX BENIGN OUTSIDE OF PERIODS OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. THE SFC HIGH OFFSHORE WILL KEEP A PREDOMINANT SW FLOW ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS WITH SEAS 2 TO 4 FT. THE SW FLOW WILL ENHANCE SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY SO COULD SEE STRONGEST WINDS ALONG AND JUST OFF THE COAST OF S FACING BEACHES IN THE AFTERNOONS DURING PEAK HEATING. OTHERWISE LOOKS LIKE A COPY AND PAST FCST FROM MON ON THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. RIP CURRENT RISK HIGH N OF CAPE LOOKOUT AND MODERATE S AS LONG PERIOD 16 SEC E SWELL IMPACTS THE BEACHES. && .MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NC...NONE.
