Severe Thunderstorm Warning 9, NWS Wilmington, NC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
741 PM EDT SUN MAY 16 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONT STALLED OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WILL DRIFT NORTH MONDAY
AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. LOW PRESSURE
WILL MOVE OFFSHORE TUESDAY DRAGGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA
FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT. THROUGH TUESDAY...NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING OUR BEST OPPORTUNITY
FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IN SEVERAL WEEKS. THE FRONT WILL STALL NEAR
THE COAST WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHEAST FOR THE COMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 2 PM SUNDAY...AS EXPECTED TSRA AND SHRA ARE APPROACHING THE
WESTERN BORDER OF THE ILM FORECAST AREA. ACROSS NC CONVECTION HAS
DEVELOPED ALONG THE STALLED SURFACE BOUNDARY WHILE INSTABILITY IS
FUELING THE STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL SC. IF STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS ARE
GOING TO DEVELOP IT WOULD LIKELY BE BETWEEN NOW AND AN HOUR OR SO
AFTER SUNSET. SOUNDINGS POINT TO SMALL HAIL/WIND BEING POSSIBLE
THREATS...THOUGH NOT EXPECTING HAIL TO GET TO 1 INCH. BIGGER THREAT
MAY BE FLOODING WITH STORM MOTION RIGHT AROUND 10 KT AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF TRAINING.

FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED JUST NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH
THE PERIOD WITH ACTIVITY CONTINUING OVERNIGHT. PROXIMITY TO THE
FRONT AND APPROACH OF WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL HELP KEEP INLAND SHOWERS
GOING OVERNIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS OVERNIGHT POINT TO CONVECTION
BECOMING MORE ELEVATED WITH A STABLE LAYER BELOW 2K FT WHICH SHOULD
LIMIT AMOUNT OF WIND THAT COULD BE BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE...DESPITE
INCREASING WINDS ALOFT. STORM MOTION ALSO INCREASES OVERNIGHT SO
FLOODING MAY BECOME LESS OF A THREAT AS EVENING TURNS TO OVERNIGHT.
CLOSER TO THE COAST DRIER AIR WILL LIMIT EASTWARD PROPAGATION OF
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT.

COMBINATION OF CLOUD COVER...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...AND SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST FLOW KEEPS OVERNIGHT LOWS WELL ABOVE CLIMO. MAINLY UPPER
60S BUT EXPECT A FEW PLACES TO REMAIN IN THE 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...MODELS HAVE TAKEN A DECIDED TURN TOWARD A
FASTER SOLUTION AND SO THIS FORECAST WILL TREND IN THAT DIRECTION.
FORECAST AREA WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR AT THE START OF THE PERIOD.
LOW PRESSURE AREAS AT THE SURFACE WILL BE MOVING ALONG A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WHICH WILL BE DRAPED ACROSS THE MID SOUTH AND LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS. AS THE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE ALONG THE
BOUNDARY...THE FRONT WILL OSCILLATE. LOW PRESSURE WILL ATTEMPT TO
CONSOLIDATE OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA AND MID ATLANTIC COASTS TUE AND
TUE NIGHT. HIGHEST PRECIPITABLE WATERS AND DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL BE
IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS MON AFTERNOON AND EVE. CAPE
VALUES WILL MAXIMIZE IN 500 TO 1000 J/KG DURING THIS TIME. SW MID
LEVEL WINDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 45 KT. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
ALOFT WILL BE SITUATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND OHIO
VALLEY MON AND MON NIGHT. A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL BE
ROUNDING THE BASE OF THIS UPPER LOW AND SHOULD AID IN ENHANCING
CONVECTION ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS MON AFTERNOON AND AT LEAST
INTO THE EVE HOURS. EXTENT OF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS MAY SERVE
TO DELAY CONVECTION OR TO LIMIT INTENSITY AS WELL AS PERHAPS
COVERAGE...BUT ENOUGH OF THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS WILL BE IN PLACE
TO FORECAST LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS. ONGOING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE ON A DIMINISHING TREND MON MORNING WITH
ACTIVITY PICKING UP AGAIN MON AFTERNOON ACROSS INLAND AREAS
ESPECIALLY. SEVERE RISK LOOKS LOW GIVEN MODEST INSTABILITY AND WIND
FIELDS. WET BULB ZEROS WILL BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 12-13 KFT...
LOWERING TO ABOUT 9 KFT AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS WOULD INDICATE THE
LARGE HAIL RISK WILL ALSO BE LOW WHEN WE ARE EXPECTING THE MAJORITY
OF THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAIN PRODUCERS ARE LIKELY AND PERHAPS A WET
MICROBURST COULD PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND. MID LEVEL CAP ALONG
THE COAST SHOULD TEND TO SQUELCH CONVECTION HERE THROUGH AT LEAST
THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY AND WILL SHOW HIGHEST POPS ALONG THE COAST
MON NIGHT. ONCE THE MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVES BY MON NIGHT...FLOW ALOFT
TURNS DECIDEDLY WESTERLY AND COLUMN DRIES OUT SMARTLY DURING TUE AS
LOW PRESSURE CONSOLIDATES TO OUR N AND NE. HOWEVER GIVEN FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL NOT PUSH THROUGH THE AREA UNTIL TUE NIGHT WILL KEEP
LOW CHANCES OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM...MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVE HOURS.

WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED ON MON ALONG WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...THIS WILL KEEP MAXIMUMS COOLER THAN THE LAST SEVERAL
DAYS. TEMPS WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER ON TUE IN THOSE AREAS WHERE MORE
INSOLATION DEVELOPS. TUE NIGHT WILL BE COOLEST AS DRIER AND SLIGHTLY
COOLER AIR WORKS INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF FRONTAL PASSAGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...LATEST MODEL RUNS HAVE REALLY SHIFTED GEARS
SHOWING A DRIER FORECAST THROUGH MID WEEK WITH INCREASING CHC OF
SHWRS OVER NEXT WEEKEND. COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM LOW PRESSURE OVER
HATTERAS WILL CLEAR THE COAST EARLY TUES. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE TRIES
TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH BUT A FEW WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOP
ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH OVER GA/SC THROUGH THURS. COULD
MAKE FOR A BIT OF A TRICKIER FORECAST. BASICALLY DRIER AIR SHOULD
MOVE IN BEHIND FRONT INITIALLY BUT THESE WAVES MAY CAUSE THE
LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH TO BUCKLE AND ALLOW SOME
UNSETTLED WEATHER BACK IN FORECAST....BUT FOR NOW WILL KEEP JUST THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SOME AFTERNOON CU AND SILENT POPS THROUGH FRI WITH
ONLY A SLIGHT CHC OF AN AFTN SHOWER OR TWO.

IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS A CLOSED LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL
MOVE EAST THROUGH THE EXTENDED WITH A BROADER H5 TROUGH ENCOMPASSING
THE EAST COAST. DRIER AIR IN THE MID LEVELS WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO
THE AREA IN THE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. PCP WATER VALUES DROP TO LESS
THAN AN INCH THROUGH WED MORNING AND START RISING AGAIN HEADING INTO
THURS. THE MID TO UPPER TROUGH SHOULD CLEAR THE COAST LATE THURS
WITH A WEAK RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH FRI. BY SAT
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFF SHORE AND RETURN FLOW SETS UP WITH
INCREASED MOISTURE AND INCREASED CHC OF SHWR ACTIVITY. NEXT FRONT
WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA BY THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND.

TEMPS WILL BE RUNNING CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH MUCH OF THE
PERIOD...AROUND 80 DURING THE DAY AND AROUND 60 OVERNIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 00Z...LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD DUE TO
POTENTIAL IFR CIGS TONIGHT AND SCATTERED TS WITH REDUCED CIGS/VSBYS
THROUGHOUT MONDAY.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS VERY SLOWLY PUSHING OFF TO THE
NW THIS EVE AND WILL DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. ONLY TERMINAL THAT IS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED BY THESE WILL BE
LBT...BUT EVEN THEY LOOK TO BE PRETTY MUCH OUT OF THE WOODS ATTM.
MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT WILL BE DEVELOPMENT OF IFR
STRATUS. NAM IS VERY BULLISH IN BRINGING IN IFR...EVEN LIFR...CIGS
TO ALL THE TERMINALS OVERNIGHT WHILE THE GFS KEEPS EVERYTHING VFR.
BELIEVE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR IFR STRATUS DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT
MOISTURE IN THE COLUMN...CONSISTENCY OF THE NAM IN DEVELOPING THIS
STRATUS...AND SINCE IFR STRATUS DEVELOPED LAST NIGHT. HAVE NOT GONE
QUITE AS LOW AS NAM SUGGESTS TO ACCOUNT FOR DIFFERENCES IN OTHER
GUIDANCE...BUT DO THINK IFR STRATUS WILL SPREAD ACROSS ALL THE
TERMINALS OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 06Z SO WILL
UPDATE AT LATER ISSUANCE ONCE CONVECTION DIES OFF TONIGHT.

AFTER SUNRISE IFR CIGS WILL RISE AND BURN OFF...BUT BOUNDARY
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL BE THE TRIGGER FOR RENEWED CONVECTION
DURING THE LATE MORNING. EXPECT COVERAGE TMRW WILL BE MUCH MORE
WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE CWA THAN TODAY...BUT TRYING TO TIME EXACTLY
WHEN THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR AT THE TERMINALS THIS FAR OUT IS
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. HAVE MENTIONED VCTS WITH CB DURING THE AFTN AT
ALL SITES. EXPECT PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND TEMPO IFR VSBYS IN
CONVECTION...BUT WILL GET MORE SPECIFIC WITH THIS IN LATER TAFS. BY
LATE IN THIS VALID PERIOD IFR CIGS WILL LIKELY REDEVELOP AS THE LOW
LEVELS OF THE COLUMN BECOME FULLY SATURATED. WINDS MONDAY WILL
BECOME INCREASINGLY STRONG OUT OF THE SOUTH...WITH 15 TO 20 KT GUSTS
LIKELY DURING THE AFTN.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...TEMPO IFR THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. VFR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM SUNDAY...SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION WILL START TO WEAKEN
THIS EVENING WITH WIND SPEEDS SLOWLY DIMINISHING AND BECOMING MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED TO
SURFACE GRADIENT SO SPEEDS WILL BE SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT. SEAS WILL
ALSO EXPERIENCE A DIMINISHING TREND...THOUGH AT A SLOWER RATE.

SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...TIGHTEST PRESSURE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED ACROSS
THE WATERS LATE MON AND MON NIGHT. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE WILL
BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF OUR WATERS MON NIGHT. STRONGEST WINDS AND HIGHEST SEAS MON EVE
AND MON NIGHT WILL BE ON A GENERAL DOWNWARD TREND TUE AND TUE NIGHT.
CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO ISSUE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY AT THIS
TIME...BUT LATER FORECASTS MAY INCLUDE THIS ADVISORY. SSW WINDS
THROUGH MON WILL VEER TO SW MON NIGHT AND TUE. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
NW TUE NIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...OFFSHORE FLOW BEHIND COLD FRONT INTO WED WILL
KNOCK SEAS DOWN BELOW 4 FT THROUGH MORNING. THE OFFSHORE FLOW MAY BE
SHORT LIVED AS WINDS BECOME MORE ON SHORE BY WED NIGHT INTO THURS
BUT REMAINS LIGHT ENOUGH TO KEEP SEAS BASICALLY BELOW 4 FT. THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN SOUTH AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO
BUILD IN. THIS MAY END UP PRODUCING VARIABLE WINDS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. BY LATE FRIDAY THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS FARTHER EAST AND A
RETURN FLOW SHOULD SET UP ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS.
