AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
800 PM EDT SAT JUL 25 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY TO THE WEST
OF THE AREA THROUGH SUN NIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE W
MON...THEN STALL AND DISSIPATE OVER CENTRAL NC TUE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
WILL CONTINUE CHC POPS INTO EARLY EVENING FOR LINGERING ACTIVITY ON
SEA BREEZE. DO NOT SEE ANY SUPPORT FOR ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT EXCEPT
COASTAL SECTIONS TOWARD MORNING. PATCHY FOG LIKELY AGAIN FOR INLAND
SECTIONS. MOS BLEND FOR MIN TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
INLAND TROF/OFFSHORE HIGH PATTERN WILL CONTINUE DURING PERIOD BUT
UPPER TROF WILL SHARPEN MON-TUE...ALLOWING APPROACH OF ANOTHER COLD
FRONT. THIS WILL ALLOW MORE SHRT WV ACTIVITY ACROSS AREA AS
WELL...THUS MORE COVERAGE OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AND POSSIBILITY OF
OVERNIGHT ACTION. PREVIOUS FCST HAD THIS HANDLED WELL WITH POPS AND
MADE LITTLE CHANGE. 20/30 POPS FOR SUN AFTN...THEN 20% OVERNIGHT AND
30/40% AFTN/EVE REST OF PERIOD. TEMPS PSBLY A FEW DEGS WARMER SUN
AND MON...BUT MAINLY STILL LOW 90S INLAND AND MID-UPR 80S COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE DECREASING AMPLIFICATION OF MIDWEST UPR
TROF DURING PERIOD...ALLOWING UPR RIDGE TO BUILD W OVER SE U.S. THIS
WILL KEEP INLAND TROF/OFFSHORE HIGH PATTERN OVER NC BUT KEEP FRONTS
STALLED TO N. KEPT POPS IN 20-40 RANGE WITH SOME DIURNAL TREND.
TEMPS WILL CONTINUE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ONGOING CONVECTION MAY CLIP PGV DURING THE EVENING OTHERWISE
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AS CLOUDS DISSIPATE TONIGHT. VERY SIMILAR
CONDITIONS AS LAST NIGHT WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING AN
INCREASED SW FLOW. THIS SHOULD PREVENT DECOUPLING UNTIL EARLY SUN
MORNING...WHICH SHOULD INHIBIT DENSE FOG DEVELOPMENT UNTIL THEN.
COULD SEE SOME MVFR VSBYS/CIGS AFTR MIDNIGHT THEN IFR TWD DAYBREAK.
TYPICAL AFT CU EXP SUN AFTERNOON WITH SOME ISO TSRA.

HIGH PRES BACK BUILDING OVER THE E SEABOARD WILL LEAD TO
PREDOMINANT SW FLOW OVER THE REGION. A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES WILL
SKIRT BY TO OUR N DURING THE WEEK...BUT NO FRONTS ARE EXP TO REACH
THE REGION KEEPING THE WEATHER FAIRLY BENIGN EXCEPT FOR AFT
CONVECTION.

&&

.MARINE...
SE SWELL IS CONTINUING TO DIMINISH WITH SEAS FALLING BELOW 5 FT
ACROSS THE AREA. A STEADILY INCREASING SW FLOW OVER THE NEXT 24-48
HRS WILL ADD A BIT MORE CHOP TO THE SEAS...SO DESPITE SWELL
DIMINISHING COULD STILL SEE SOME 5 FT SEAS ESP ALONG CENTRAL
WATERS NEAR HATTERAS FOR SUN/SUN NT. THE WINDS ARE EXP TO REACH
20KT...SO DONT SEE ENOUGH CHOP DEVELOPMENT TO CREATE SCA THOUGH
CANT RULE OUT A STRAY 6 FT IN OUTER WATERS. THE SW WINDS WILL
LEAD TO ENHANCED SEA BREEZE WINDS NEAR AREA BEACHES...ESP S FACING
WHERE WE COULD SEE 20 MPH WINDS. SOME WEAK SHORT WAVES ARE FCST TO
SKIRT BY TO OUR N OVER THE COMING WEEK...BUT NONE OF THE SFC
FRONTS ARE EXP TO REACH THE REGION. BY WED A WEAK LOW IS EXP TO
DEVELOP OVER THE GULF STATES AND SKIRT BY US...TIGHTENING THE PRES
GRAD AND INCREASING WINDS TO NEAR SCA. THIS COULD PUSH SEAS BACK
TO 4 TO 6 FT WED NT/THU BEFORE COMING BACK DOWN. OVERALL PATTERN
VERY TYPICAL OF MID SUMMER WITH PREDOMINANT SW FLOW.
