Severe Thunderstorm Warning 35, NWS Wilmington, NC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
726 PM EDT FRI JUN 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONT DRAPED ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA WILL REMAIN JUST NORTH
OF THE FORECAST AREA...AS WARM AND MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES
AROUND BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A STRONGER COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY...KNOCKING DAYTIME TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE UPPER 80
TO AROUND 90 BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM FRIDAY...CONVECTION UNDERWAY...PRIMARY FOCI SEA BREEZE
FRONT AND WEAKLY DEFINED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRADDLED ACROSS OUR NRN
AND WRN ZONES CURRENTLY. OUTFLOWS AND EASTWARD PROPAGATION OF
CELLS WILL DISSOLVE SHARP FOCUS AREAS INTO A CUMULONIMBUS FREE-
FOR-ALL SPATIALLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. APPEARS THAT
A CAP NOTED IN COASTAL RAOBS REMAINS SPREAD OVER THE EASTERN ZONES
WITH LESS INHIBITION ALOFT ACROSS THE WRN HALF. SLUGGISH STORM
MOTION AND HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER CONTENT SHOULD PROVIDE A FEW
EYE- POPPING RAINFALL TOTALS FOR SOME...BUT NOT MOST AREAS THROUGH
MIDDLE EVENING. SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER REMAINS INTACT AND
MOST AREAS STAND A CHANCE AT PCPN...PERHAPS BRUNSWICK COUNTY THE
LEAST CHANCE GIVEN SEA BRZ FRONT CLEARANCE...BUT LATER TONIGHT
STILL FEASIBLE THAT RAIN COULD DROP EVEN NEAR THE CAPE FEAR TIP AS
CELLS CHUG TOWARD THE OCEAN LAZILY.

SOUNDINGS IMPLY STRONG BURSTS OF WIND MOMENTUM TO GROUND LEVEL
COULD SPELL DAMAGE FOR A FEW AREAS...BUT WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL
SFC HEATING TO CRANK-UP THIS SCENARIO...OR PERHAPS COLLIDING
BOUNDARIES REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON...WHICH REMAINS POSSIBLE SINCE
WE ANTICIPATE INTENSIFYING SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE. THUS A WATCH
BOX CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS WELL.

HEAT ADVISORY TO REMAIN INTACT...WITH INDICES CURRENTLY IN ADVY
RANGE AT THE MOMENT...NO NEED TO PULL IT DESPITE EXPECTED CLOUD
COVER INCREASE...THOUGH SOME POTENTIAL EXISTS OF BEING YANKED
EARLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM FRIDAY...UPPER RIDGE AND SURFACE BOUNDARY STALLED TO THE
NORTH AND WEST WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THROUGH THE PERIOD. BY SUN
WHAT LITTLE IS LEFT OF THE FRONT/SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL LIFT OFF TO
THE NORTH. BEST PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE SAT WITH PLENTY OF
MOISTURE IN PLACE...DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE LOW TO MID 70S WITH
PWATS OVER 2 INCHES. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DECAYING
BOUNDARY AND THE SEA BREEZE WILL ENHANCE DIURNAL INSTABILITY.
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AND CONTINUED BREAKDOWN OF UPPER RIDGE
WILL LEAD TO HIGHS A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN RECENT DAYS...BUT
STILL 3 TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO. LOWS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN 5 TO
10 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO.

SEA BREEZE AND WEAK PIEDMONT TROF WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURES ON SUN.
UPPER RIDGE AXIS OFFSHORE REMAINS IN PLACE BUT IN A WEAKENED
CONDITION. AREA OF DRIER MID LEVEL AIR MOVING ACROSS THE TOP OF THE
RIDGE WILL BRUSH THE ILM FORECAST AREA SUN AFTERNOON AS IT PASSES TO
THE NORTH. DRY AIR WILL KEEP BEST POPS LIMITED TO PORTIONS OF
SC...WITH CHANCES INCREASING FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST. DECREASE IN
CLOUD COVER AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN TEMPS ALOFT SUN WILL RESULT IN
WARMER HIGHS FOR SUN. MID TO UPPER 90S...SLIGHTLY COOLER CLOSER TO
THE COAST. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN IN THE MID TO UPPER
70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 125 PM FRIDAY...TROUGH MOVING INTO THE AREA STILL APPEARS TO
BE ON TAP FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE SIMILAR TO
THE ENSEMBLE FORECAST BUT BOTH OF THESE MODEL SYSTEMS ARE FASTER
THAN THE ECMWF. SO AT THIS TIME WILL FAVOR THE FORMER MODEL SUITES
AND LOOK FOR A FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER ON TUESDAY. A COOL DOWN IS
ANTICIPATED BY MIDWEEK. THE BEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES APPEAR TO
BE WITH FRONTAL SYSTEM ON TUESDAY...CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING.
PROGS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE FRONTAL SYSTEM AND PRECIPITATION TO
REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECT THE MID 90S TO FALL CLOSER TO CLIMO
VALUES BY TUESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.
LOW TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER 70S TO EVEN THE UPPER 60S
WELL INLAND BY MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

FOR PRECIPITATION SCATTERED...UNORGANIZED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED
MONDAY WITH ORGANIZED CONVECTION ANTICIPATED WITH FROPA ON TUESDAY
INTO TUESDAY EVENING.  NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 00Z...MODERATE CONFIDENCE FORECAST WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION
AND TEMPO VSBY/CIG RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD BEING THE
LIMITING FACTORS.

WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ONGOING AT THIS HOUR WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO
DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.
BELIEVE THE COASTAL TERMINALS WILL REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
AS THE SEA BREEZE HAS WORKED TO STABILIZE THE COLUMN SO IT WILL BE
VERY DIFFICULT FOR ANY TS TO MAKE IT TO THE COAST. HAVE SCT CB FOR
THE FIRST FEW HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR POTENTIAL...WITH VCTS AT MYR TO
ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN ANY
CONVECTION AT THE COAST HOWEVER. INLAND...ONGOING CONVECTION WILL
LIKELY AFFECT FLO IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND MORE SCT CONVECTION
MAY DEVELOP INVOF LBT AS WELL. HAVE TEMPO RESTRICTIONS THROUGH 03Z
THERE WITH PREDOMINATE VCTS. BY 06Z ALL CONVECTION SHOULD BE
DISSIPATED LEAVING ONLY BKN CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS AND VFR.
WINDS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT WILL DECREASE AND GUSTS WILL DIE
OFF...BUT WILL REMAIN ELEVATED AT 5 TO 10 KTS SO NO FOG IS EXPECTED.

SIMILAR DAY FOR SATURDAY WITH WEAKENING SURFACE FRONT STILL STALLED
JUST NORTH OF THE AREA. WITH CONTINUED MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND
BERMUDA HIGH...WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO DEVELOP CU BY LATE MORNING. U/L
RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY WEAKEN...SO ANY ADDITIONAL SURFACE
CONVERGENCE WILL BE ABLE BREAK THE CONVECTIVE LID AND SPAWN TS. BEST
CHANCE FOR THIS WILL AGAIN BE AT LBT/ILM WHICH ARE CLOSER TO SURFACE
FRONT AND HAVE AFTN VCTS THERE...WITH BKN CB AT OTHER TERMINALS TO
REFLECT POTENTIAL ON SEA BREEZE AND RESIDUAL OUTFLOWS. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE FROM SW INLAND...BACKING SLIGHTLY TO THE S AT THE
COAST WITH THE SEA BREEZE...WITH SPEEDS AOA 10 KTS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION POSSIBLE EACH DAY
THROUGH MONDAY. COLD FRONT AND MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION MAY IMPACT
THE AREA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM FRIDAY...A LITTLE BUMPY ON THE WATERS WITH MODERATE
SSW TO NNW MOVING CHOP OF AROUND 3 FEET AND SE SWELL AROUND 2 FEET
AND GUSTS TO AROUND 20 KNOTS CURRENTLY. MAY GO WITH A SCEC
HEADLINE BUT WILL SEE HOW OBSERVATION PAN OUT BEFORE-HAND. NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE ON THE WATERS THROUGH NEAR TERM...BUMPY BUT
BELOW ADVISORY RANGE. ONE THREAT TO WATCH OUT FOR...TSTMS. SLOW
MOTION TO THE EAST COULD BRING A FEW CELLS OVER THE WATERS LATER
TODAY. IT IS ADVISED MARINERS SEE RADAR UPDATES BEFORE HEADING
OUT...MOTION MAINLY W TO E OR WNW TO ESE AT 10 KNOTS OR LESS.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM FRIDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH BERMUDA
HIGH IN PLACE AND FRONT/SURFACE BOUNDARY WEAKENING TO THE NORTH.
SEA BREEZE WILL ENHANCE THE OVERALL 10 TO 15 KT WINDS NEAR SHORE
EACH AFTERNOON. SLIGHTLY HIGHER WIND SPEEDS ANTICIPATED SUN AS
PIEDMONT TROF TIGHTENS UP THE SURFACE GRADIENT A BIT. SEAS 3 TO 4
FT THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH ISOLATED 5 FT POSSIBLE LATER SUN ACROSS
WATERS OPEN TO SOUTHWEST FLOW.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 125 PM FRIDAY...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE MONDAY AS THE
SURFACE BOUNDARY TIGHTENS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE WATERS.
SEAS MAY APPROACH SMALL CRAFT IN THE OUTER WATERS AND WILL HAVE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON THE WIND INCREASE AS SEAS ARE EXPECT TO BUILD TO AT
LEAST 5 FEET...10 TO 20 MILES OFF THE COAST.

AS BOUNDARY SHIFTS SOUTH OF THE WATERS ON WEDNESDAY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO VEER TO THE NORTHEAST AND ONLY BE AROUND 5 TO 10
KNOTS.
