AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
242 AM EDT SUN SEP 27 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION LATER TODAY...CLEARING
OUT SHOWERS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SOME DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN
OVERNIGHT...BUT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD PUSH TEMPERATURES INTO
THE 80S ON MONDAY. A SECOND AND STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL PUSH
SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT...WITH COOLER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND IT. THIS
COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL LINGER THROUGH LATE WEEK WITH
TYPICAL FALL SCENARIO.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 2 AM...A WEAK SFC LOW WAS PASSING THROUGH THE REGION...WITH
THE BULK OF THE RAINFALL AT OR EAST OF IT NEAR THE OBX. RAIN WAS
DIMINISHING BEHIND THE LOW IN THE NW/N WINDS. HOWEVER...TD AND
LOCAL INSTABILITY HAVE INCREASED ACROSS THE REGION. TROF TO OUR W
AND DEPARTING SFC LOW TO OUR N WILL RETURN ONSHORE FLOW AFT AROUND
09Z...AND EXP CONVECTION TO REDEVELOP ESP NEAR THE S COASTAL
SECTIONS. MAIN CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE A FLOOD THREAT AND
POTENTIAL FOR ROTATION IN DEVELOPING TSRA. AS FOR A TORNADO
THREAT...THE INCREASED HELICITIES/BULK SHEAR/AND VEERING WIND
PROFILES INTO A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT PREVENT US FROM
RULING THEM OUT. HOWEVER...THE SHEAR WILL TREND TOWARDS MORE
UNIDIRECTIONAL THE LATER INTO THE MORNING HOURS WE GET...SO BEST
THREAT FOR POTENTIAL WATERSPOUTS/TORNADOES IF ANY WOULD BE IN
EARLY CONVECTION. INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO REMAIN WEAK...SO
ELEVATED ROTATION MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY REACHING THE SFC. THE
FLOODING THREAT IS STILL HIGH NEAR S COASTAL COUNTIES DUE TO PAST
RAINFALL EVENTS SATURATING THE GROUND. THIS INCREASES THE
VULNERABILITY FOR RAPID RUNOFF/FLOODING EVEN WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS
AS LOW AS 2 MORE INCHES DEPENDING ON DURATION. THE FLOOD WATCH
CONTINUES THROUGH 18Z...AFTER WHICH TIME THE DRIER AIR SHOULD
DIMINISH THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL. THE RAIN WILL GRADUALLY
DISSIPATE FROM W TO E LATER THIS MORNING...BUT AS THE SUN STARTS
TO PEAK THROUGH THINNING CLOUDS EXP ADDITIONAL HEATING AND
LINGERING MOISTURE TO TRIGGER SOME SPOTTY TSRA INTO THE AFT HOURS.
THE DRIER AIR WILL EVENTUALLY OVERRIDE SHOWER POTENTIAL BEFORE THE
EVENING HOURS. HAVE BUMPED TEMPS UP MARGINALLY IN THE COASTAL
PLAINS WHERE SUN MAY BE MORE PREVALENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 2 AM...DRIER AIR SHOULD DROP PREC WATER VALUES FROM OVER 2
CURRENTLY TO AROUND 1 BY THIS TIME TONIGHT. CLEAR SKIES WILL
INCREASE RAD COOLING...BUT MIXED LOW LVLS WILL LIKELY PREVENT
DECOUPLING. FOR SHELTERED AREAS...COULD SEE SOME PATCHY FOG.
LEADING INTO MON THE SUNNY CONDITIONS WILL PUSH TEMPS INTO THE LOW
TO MID 80S WITH COMFORTABLE RH VALUES AROUND 50%. THERE WILL BE A
FAIRLY BREEZY WSW WIND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SECOND COLD FRONT.
THIS FRONT WILL SINK S MON NT AS A STRONG UPPER LVL LOW MOVES OUT
OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION. DESPITE DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE...ENOUGH
DYNAMICS COULD SQUEEZE OUT A SOME SCATTERED SPRINKLES ACROSS THE
REGION AS UPPER LVL TROF SWINGS BY. HAVE A 20 POP DUE TO HIT AND
MISS NATURE OF ACTIVITY...AND LIKELIHOOD OF MEASURABLE RAINFALL
LOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 2 AM...THE UPPER LVL LOW/TROF OVER THE E COAST WILL DROP
THERMAL PROFILES DOWN SHARPLY. 850MB TEMPS WILL DROP INTO THE
SINGLE DIGITS...AND WITH N/NW FLOW EXP WILL CONTINUE TO SEE DRIER
AIR FILTER INTO THE REGION FROM TUE ON. MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS
WILL BE PREDOMINANT...BUT AS VORT MAX SWING AROUND THE BASE OF THE
UPPER LVL TROF COULD SEE PERIODS OF INCREASED CLOUDS TOO HARD TO
PIN POINT AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...AIRMASS TOO DRY TO SUPPORT EVEN
SPRINKLES...ALLOWING TDS TO DROP INTO THE 40S. CANT RULE OUT
OVERNIGHT TEMPS BOTTOMING OUT...ESP BY WED NT/THU NT AS THE RIDGE
BUILDS IN BEHIND THE EXITING UPPER TROF. SFC HIGH SLIDING OUT OF
CENTRAL CANADA WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION...BRINGING THE COOLEST
NIGHTS LATER IN THE WEEK. THIS FEATURE WILL SLIDE OFFSHORE INTO
THE WEEKEND WITH RETURN FLOW INCREASING TDS BACK INTO THE 60S.
DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE BELOW NORMAL BY A FEW DEG DESPITE MOSTLY
SUNNY CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 2 AM SUN...SFC LOW AHEAD OF THE MAIN COLD FRONT IS OVER THE
COASTAL PLAIN AND SHLD CONT TO MOVE NNE BASED ON MDLS AND PRES
FALLS. MOST OF THE INIT PRECIP/CONVECTION HAS MOVED NE OF TAF
SITES. WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR CIGS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN WAKE OF LOW
AND CONT THROUGH AT LEAST 12Z. NOT SURE HOW WIDESPREAD ADDITIONAL
PRECIP WILL BE AHEAD OF COLD FRONT BUT FOR NOW WENT WITH SHRA
BETWEEN 13Z AND 18Z WITH MAINLY MVFR CIGS. SHLD BEGIN TO DRY OUT
AFT 18Z WITH VFR DEVELOPING.

MAY SEE SOME FOG OVERNIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS AND MOIST GROUND
HOWEVER GDNCE IS SHOWING 3 TO 4 DGR DEWPT DEPRESSIONS AT THE SFC
SO FOR NOW THINK ANY FOG SHLD BE PATCHY AND LIGHT. SECONDARY AND
MUCH STRONGER FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE W MON AND CROSS MON NIGHT
WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR IN WAKE OF THE FRONT PROVIDING SEVERAL
DAYS OF VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
AS OF 2 AM SUN...WILL INIT WITH SCA ALL WTRS. SFC LOW OVER CSTL
PLAIN WILL LIFT NNE WITH AREA OF GUSTY S/SE WINDS CURRENTLY OVER
CNTRL WTRS SHIFTING N. WILL THEN SEE DECENT SW WINDS MUCH OF THE
DAY AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES. THINK SCA WILL END ON SOUNDS AROUND
12Z. FOR CSTL WTRS KEPT SCA ALL WTRS THROUGH 18Z...THEN GRAD END
N AND S THROUGH 00Z WITH CENTRAL WTRS LAST TO DROP DURING THE
EVENING HOURS. SWAN AND WAVEWATCH SIMILAR FOR SEAS WITH SOME 8 TO
9 FOOTERS OUTER WTRS EARLY WITH 5 TO 7 FT MOST OF THE DAY.

BRIEF PD OF SUB SCA OVERNIGHT THROUGH MON MORN THEN EXPECT GUSTY
SW WINDS AHEAD OF FRONT TO DEVELOP MON AFTN WITH SCA GOOD BET FOR
AT LEAST THE CSTL WTRS LATER MON AND MON NIGHT. NW SURGE BEHIND
FRONT DOES NOT LOOK OVERLY IMPRESSIVE AND SHLD AVG OUT NEAR 20 KTS
LATER MON NIGHT AND EARLY TUE. THIS OFFSHORE FLOW SHLD ALLOW SEAS
TO DROP BELOW 6 FT ALL WTRS BY TUE MORN.  MAINLY LIGHT TO
MODERATE NW/N WINDS ON TAP FOR WED/THU AS HIGH PRES BUILDS IN FROM
THE NW WITH SEAS MAINLY BELOW 4 FT.
