&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
NO CHANGE TO SVR WX THREAT FOR TONIGHT. INSTABILITY WILL BE MARGINAL
BUT WIND FIELDS VERY STRONG SO ANYTHING THAT GETS GOING COULD LIKELY
PRODUCE WINDS OVER 50 KTS. WDSPRD LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED TSTMS
FORM WRN NC THROUGH SC BECOMING MORE CELLULAR PAST FEW
HOURS...ENHANCING SVR POTENTIAL. CELLS IN LINE MOVING SSW TO NNE
WITH LINE GRADUALLY MOVING E. LINE WILL LIKELY REACH COASTAL PLAINS
7-9 PM...MOVING OFFSHORE AFTER MIDNIGHT. ANOTHER LIMITING FACTOR MAY
BE BULGE IN LINE NOW MOVING OFF GA COAST. ACTIVITY WITH THIS MAY
DEVELOP OVER GULF STREAM AND ROB MSTR TRANSPORT IN ERN NC...LIMITING
DEEPER CONVECTION. RAISED POPS TO 100 PERCENT ALL ZONES OVERNIGHT
AND BEEFED UP WORDING FOR TSTMS TO INCLUDE PSBL SVR WITH DAMAGING
WINDS. COORDINATED WITH MARINE FCST ON WINDS AND DECIDED TO GO WITH
WIND ADVSRY FOR CARTERET AND OUTER BANKS OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WEAK HIGH PRES WILL PRODUCE DRYING CONDITIONS WED-THU BUT NO
SIGNIFICANT CAA SO TEMPS ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER DURING PERIOD. MODELS
AGREE ON LOW DEVELOPING IN NRN GULFMEX AND MOVING ACROSS AREA FRI
NIGHT-SAT BUT SOME DIFFERENCES ON TIMING AND TRACK. KEPT POPS IN
HIGH CHC RANGE FOR NOW...MAINLY FRI AFTN-FRI NIGHT. MOS BLEND FOR
TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FOLLOWED HPC GDNC DURING PERIOD WITH HIGH PRES DOMINATING. LINGERING
SLGT CHC POPS FOR EARLY SAT...THEN DRY REST OF PERIOD. BELOW NORMAL
TEMPS FOR SUN...THEN GRADUALLY MODERATING.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
.BKN TO OVC CIGS MOSTLY BTWN 3-5KT AFFECTING THE TERMINALS THIS AFTN
AND SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH DAYLIGHT HOURS...WITH PATCHY MVFR CIGS.
GRADIENT SLY WINDS CONTINUE TO GUST IN THE 25-30 KT RANGE WITH OCC
UP TO 35 KT...AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING
AHEAD OF FRONTAL BNDRY. ISO-SCT SHOWER ACTIVITY TO AFFECT THE
TERMINALS INITIALLY THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING WITH OCC. RUMBLE OF
THUNDER POSSIBLE. MAIN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY..WITH POTENTIAL STRONG TO
SVR CELLS...EXPECTED AFTER ABOUT 6PM THROUGH MIDNIGHT...THEN
IMPROVING FROM W TO E THROUGH EARLY WED MORNING. MAIN THREAT WILL BE
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS POTENTIALLY GUSTING IN EXCESS OF 45KT.
CIGS/VSBYS EXPECTED TO LOWER TO MVFR WITH ISOLATED IFR IN CONVECTION
AS WELL.

AND SHIFTING SW TO W THROUGH TOMORROW AFTN. VFR EXPECTED TO DOMINATE
THROUGH THU NIGHT...WITH NEXT CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD PRECIP AND IFR
FRI AND FRI NIGHT AS LOW PRES MOVES NE THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE
GOMEX. IMPROVING CONDS EXPECTED DURING THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRES AND
DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING VERY DANGEROUS MARINE CONDITIONS
TO EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY. 12Z GUIDANCE LOOKED A LITTLE MORE ROBUST WITH PREFRONTAL
SLY WINDS TONIGHT SO HAVE OPTED TO UPGRADE SC ADVISORIES TO GALE
WARNINGS ALL WATERS BUT ALBERMARLE SOUND. NOT RULING OUT A FEW GUSTS
TO GALE UP THERE BUT NOT EXPECTING TO BE FREQUENT ENOUGH TO ISSUE
GLW. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BRING STRONG TO SEVERE TSTMS TO THE
WATERS OVERNIGHT AS WELL...AND MAY STILL AFFECT THE CENTRAL WATERS
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE MOVING OUT TO SEA THEREAFTER. SOME
CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 45KT ARE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH
DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. I SUSPECT THE SRN WATERS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH
GALE CRITERIA NEAR SHORE (IE BUOY 41035) OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...BUT
WITH WARMER SSTS FURTHER E EXPECT MUCH STRONGER WINDS IN THE OUTER
PORTION OF THE ZONE. MULTIGRID WW3 LOOKED OK WITH SEAS SO DID NOT
STRAY MUCH FROM THOSE NUMBERS. EXPECTING PEAK SEAS UPWARDS OF AROUND
15 FT ESP OUTER PORTION OF CENTRAL WATERS LATE TONIGHT. DUE TO
SHADOWING EFFECTS...NRN WATERS WILL BE MUCH SMALLER ESP NEAR SHORE.
WINDS/SEAS DIMINISH DURING THE DAY ON WED WITH WEAK HIGH PRES
REBUILDING BUT SEAS NOT EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE TO BLO SC THRESHOLD
UNTIL LATE TOMORROW EVENING FOR CENTRAL WATERS.

FAIRLY WEAK PRES PATTERN EXPECTED OVER THE AREA THU AND THU NIGHT SO
THAT WILL BE THE MOST TRANQUIL BOATING TIME ACROSS THE AREA...BUT
STILL EXPECTING NEXT GOMEX STORM SYSTEM TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM
THE SW FRI AND FRI NIGHT. GUIDANCE IS IN A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH THE STORM MOVING NE JUST INLAND FROM THE COAST...WITH THE
ECMWF REMAINING A BIT OF A W OUTLIER. HAVE GONE WITH MORE OF A
SOLN CLOSER TO THE COAST PER HPC. DETAILS WILL CONTINUE TO GET
IRONED OUT OVER THE NEXT FEW SHIFTS...BUT AT THIS POINT SUSPECT SC
ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED ESP FRI NIGHT WITH S/SW FLOW E OF THE
SYSTEM. QUICK SURGE OF CAA AND MODERATE NW/N WINDS EXPECTED SAT
THROUGH EARLY SUN AS HIGH PRES REBUILDS.
