AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
1152 AM EDT MON APR 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST THIS MORNING AND
CROSS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THEN SLIDE
OFFSHORE THURSDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE REGION
FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA
SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 230 AM MON...ACTIVE WEATHER TODAY AS STRONG COLD FRONT
CROSSES. FRONT IS CURRENTLY NEAR MTNS AND IS EXPECTED TO REACH
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON. MDLS ARE CONSISTENT SHOWING
IMPRESSIVE S/SW LOW LVL JET DEVELOPING OVER THE REGION THIS
MORNING AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WHICH WILL AID IN INCREASING LOW LVL
MOISTURE. ALL REGIONS WILL BE IN WARM SECTOR THIS MORNING AND SHLD
SEE TEMPS RISE INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S WITH POSS A LITTLE SUNSHINE
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THESE WARM SFC TEMPS COMBINED WITH DECENT MID
LVL LAPSE RATES WILL PRODUCE WEAK TO MODERATE INSTABILITY. SHLD
SEE ACTIVE CONVECTION DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT IN THE WARM
UNSTABLE AIR. GIVEN IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS AND DECENT FORCING
AHEAD OF UPR TRF WILL LIKELY SEE A FEW SEVERE STORMS WITH THE 12Z
TO 18Z TIME FRAME LOOKING MOST FAVORABLE. WIND DIR BECOMES
UNIDIRECTIONAL LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON AND THAT
WOULD FAVOR DAMAGING WINDS AND SOME LARGE HAIL GIVEN WET BULB ZERO
HGTS BELOW 10000 FT. THERE WILL BE SOME DIRECTIONAL SHEAR EARLY
AND ENOUGH SPEED SHEAR LATER TO POSS HAVE A ISOLD TORNADO AS WELL.
CONVECTION WILL END FROM W TO E THROUGH MID TO LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS IN WAKE OF FRONT.

HAVE EXPANDED THE WIND ADVISORY TO MAINLAND HYDE AND DARE AS WELL
AS CARTERET COUNTIES. APPEARS SHLD HAVE DECENT MIXING IN THESE
AREAS TO HELP INCREASE SFC WINDS AHEAD OF AND JUST BEHIND THE
FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 AM MON...CAA EXPECTED OVERNIGHT HOWEVER DECENT W WIND
WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM REALLY DROPPING WITH LOWS MAINLY LOW TO MID
40S INLAND TO AROUND 50 OBX. ANOTHER SRT WAVE WILL ROTATE THROUGH
THE REGION TUE. THIS FEATURE COMBINED WITH DECENT LOW LVL LAPSE
RATES MAY BE ABLE TO GENERATE A FEW SHOWERS DURING THE AFTN SO
ADDED SLIGHT POP ALL AREAS TUE AFTN. PLENTY OF CLOUDS WILL KEEP
TEMPS COOL WITH AROUND 55 MOST SPOTS. SHLD HAVE ENOUGH OF A GRDNT
OVER REGION TO KEEP AT LEAST A LIGHT BREEZE GOING TUE NIGHT. THIS
WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM PLUMMETING BUT WILL STILL BE QUITE COLD WITH
MANY MAINLAND SPOTS AROUND FREEZING. APPEARS BREEZE WILL LIMIT
FROST POTENTIAL HOWEVER A FREEZE WILL BE POSSIBLE AND LATER SHIFTS
CAN DECIDE ON POSS FREEZE WATCH FOR TUE NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 12PM MONDAY...UPR RDG OVR THE AREA MIDWK. UPR TROF BACK OVR
AREA BY LT WK...THRU THE WKEND AND INTO THE BEGINNING OF NXT WK.
SERIES OF WVS WL SWING THRU THE TROF WI CHCS OF PCPN THRU THE PD.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 12PM...MVFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING AND
INTO THE AFTERNOON. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE OVER THE TAF
SITES THROUGH LATE MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME
OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE STRONG
WINDS...ISOLATED TORNADOES...AND FREQUENCY LIGHTNING. FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA MID AFTERNOON WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR
BEHIND THE FRONT. BREEZY TODAY...WITH WIND LAYING DOWN BEHIND THE
FRONT.

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...WITH THE
EXCEPTION POSSIBLE MVFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT SHOWERS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG LL WINDS SHOWING UP IN AREA RADAR VAD PROFILES...BUT FOR
NOW NOT MUCH MIXING DOWN TO THE SFC ALONG THE COASTAL WATERS. THIS
IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE RAPIDLY THIS MORNING AS THE FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE W AND THE LL JET STRENGTHENS OVER THE REGION. THE WARMING
COASTAL WATERS WILL ALLOW FOR ENOUGH MIXING TO SUPPORT GALE FORCE
WINDS...PRIMARILY IN FREQUENT GUSTS. THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER NAM FCST
SHOWS A BIT MORE MIXING AFTER DAYBREAK THAN BEFORE...SO HAVE
BUMPED UP WINDS INLAND AS WELL JUST BELOW WIND ADV EXP FOR COASTAL
SECTIONS. THE LATER TIMING OF THE FRONT COUPLED WITH THE
STRENGTHENING LL JET (50+KT) SUPPORTS EVEN IN POOR MIXING
CONDITIONS WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 KT OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION ALONG E
PORTIONS OF CARTERET/HYDE/DARE. IF CONVECTION IS AROUND...THEN ANY
AREA COULD SEE STRONGER WINDS WITH GUSTS IN THE UPPER 30S TO
40S...BUT THIS WILL BE HANDLED WITH SPS IF NECESSARY. SEAS WILL
RESPOND FAST TO THE INCREASE IN WINDS...WITH 7-10 FT...HIGHER NEAR
DIAMOND SHOALS AND THE OUTER WARMER S WATERS. CONDITIONS WILL
PRODUCE DANGEROUS SURF...BUT FEEL IMPACT WILL NOT LEAD TO BEACH
EROSION OR BREAKERS HIGH ENOUGH FOR A HIGH SURF ADV...ESPECIALLY
SINCE PEAK SURF WILL BE BETWEEN HIGH TIDES. THE WINDS WILL ALSO
PILE WATER ALONG THE N OBX ADJACENT TO THE PAMLICO SOUND INCLUDING
MANTEO WHERE WATER RISES COULD REACH 1-2FT ABV NORMAL...SAME FOR
THE W PORTIONS OF THE PAMLICO SOUND WHERE WATER LEVELS COULD FALL
TO LOW FLOWS. THE FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH ALL WATERS BY THIS
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER STRONG CAA ON THE BACKSIDE WILL KEEP STRONG
WINDS INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE CAA WILL ALLOW FOR STRONG
MIXING...ESP OVER THE WARMER WATERS...HOWEVER THE STRENGTH OF THE
LOW LL BOUNDARY WINDS IS COMING IN WEAKER WITH LATER MODEL RUNS SO
DONT THINK GALES WILL EXTEND MUCH INTO THE OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER
STRONG SCA LIKELY. THE UPPER LOW LINGER OVER THE NE FOR THE BETTER
PART OF THE WEEK...WITH POCKETS OF ENERGY ROTATING THROUGH IT WITH
WEAK SRF FRONTS INCREASING WINDS ON AND OFF THROUGH WED. OVERALL
DONT SEE CONDITIONS DROPPING BELOW SCA UNTIL WED AT THE EARLIEST.
THEN S FLOW RETURNS AHEAD OF ANOTHER S STREAM LOW ON FRI/SAT.
