AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
1235 AM EST WED DEC 1 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE TONIGHT AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD
FRONT. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT
INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SKIES WILL RAPIDLY CLEAR DURING THE
DAY WEDNESDAY AS COLD AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 9 PM TUESDAY...RADAR ANALYSIS UPSTREAM INDICATES CELLS
ROCKETING NORTHWARD ALONG A LINE THAT IS SLOWLY PROGRESSING
EASTWARD. HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS/TRENDS WITH REGARD TO POPS FROM
WHERE THE CURRENT PCPN IS LOCATED TO WHAT IS PROGGED BY 12Z WED. THE
UPSTREAM ACTIVITY...IE EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS...HAS A HISTORY OF
SEVERE ACTIVITY AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A WATCH BOX POSTED
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ILM CWA BY MIDNIGHT. OVERNITE TEMPS TO REMAIN
NEARLY STEADY AS WARM AND MOIST LOW LEVEL AIR CONTINUES TO ADVECT
ACROSS THE CWA.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION............................................
...SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK INCLUDING DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES
POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT...

AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS UNSEASONABLY WARM
WITH READINGS GENERALLY IN THE LOW 70S. DEWPOINTS ALSO RANGING
FROM THE MID/UPPER 50S NORTH TO LOWER 60S SOUTH. SOME OF THESE
HIGHER VALUES WILL ALSO MAKE THEIR WAY FURTHER NORTH AS THE GUSTY
SSE WINDS CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE WIND, CLOUD COVER, AND
WEAK WARM ADVECTION WILL KEEP EITHER TEMPS OR DEWPOINTS FROM
FALLING MUCH THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT. VERY LIGHT RADAR RETURNS
MOVING NORTH OUT OF SOUTH CAROLINA BUT GENERALLY NOT MEASURABLE OR
TRACE AMOUNTS AS CLOUD BASES REMAIN QUITE HIGH. LOWERING CLOUD
BASES FROM S TO N WILL BRING A GRADUAL INCREASE IN SHOWER ACTIVITY
DURING THE LATE PM/EVENING HOURS BEING DRIVEN MAINLY BY THE WEAK
WAA AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET.

AFTER ABOUT 00Z HOWEVER THINGS WILL START DETERIORATING ACROSS THE
SOUTHEASTERN U.S. QUITE RAPIDLY. HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH ACROSS THE
MIDDLE OF THE NATION THIS AFTERNOON. VORT MAX CURRENTLY SWINGING
ACROSS NRN TX AND SPEED MAX DIGGING QUICKLY SSE ACRS DAKOTAS
TOGETHER WILL CAUSE THIS TROUGH TO TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT 00Z-06Z.
BEST DIVERGENCE IN THE MID LEVELS PASSES TO OUR NORTH ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL NC AND VA WHILE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE EVEN FURTHER NORTH.
REGARDLESS, DYNAMICS ALOFT STILL STRONG ENOUGH LOCALLY TO REV 850MB
FLOW TO 45-50KT LOCALLY (STRONGEST INLAND ZONES). AS USUAL WITH SUCH
AN EARLY WINTER SYSTEM THE DYNAMICS ARE FURTHER NORTH BUT THE
INSTABILITY INCREASES SOUTHWARD. CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA INTO CENTRAL
VA LIE AT THE CROSSROADS OF THESE CONFLICTING SEVERE WEATHER
INGREDIENTS AND APPEAR BEST IN LINE FOR AN OUTBREAK OF LOW TOPPED
CONVECTION. AS MENTIONED EARLIER THE EXPECTED MODE WILL BE A
STRONGLY FORCED LINE ALONG AND IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY AND ITS IMPRESSIVE CONVERGENCE. DAMAGING WINDS AND SPIN-UP
TORNADOES THE MAIN THREAT WITH THIS LINE. JUST AHEAD OF THIS LINE
MODELS HINTING AT A BROKEN LINE OF MORE CELLULAR CONVECTION ASSOC
WITH A PREFRONTAL BAND OF CONVERGENCE. THESE STORMS WILL BE IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE SURFACE FLOW IS SLIGHTLY BACKED AND WILL POSE
A MORE DANGEROUS TORNADO THREAT. WORST CASE FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SHOWING DEWPOINTS SURGING INTO THE UPPER 60S PERHAPS ON ACCOUNT OF
SOME LIGHT RAINFALL PRECEDING THE SEVERE WX. THIS LEADS TO LFC AS
LOW AS 1700FT DURING MAX FORCING WITH 400-500 M^2/S^2 OF 0-3 KM
STORM RELATIVE HELICITY...MOST OF WHICH ACTUALLY LIES IN THE 0-1KM
LAYER. SPC HAS THUS HIGHLIGHTED MOST OF THE REGION WITH A THREAT FOR
STRONG (EF2 OR STRONGER) TORNADOES. TWEAKS TO THE TIMING MAY BE
NEEDED ONCE THE LINE STARTS DEVELOPING EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS
TONIGHT. OTHERWISE THE WRF TIMING WAS FOLLOWED RATHER CLOSELY WITH
THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER ENTERING WESTERN COUNTIES BETWEEN
06-08Z AND REACHING THE COAST BY 12-13Z. BARRING ANY DECREASE IN THE
APPARENT THREAT OR A SHIFT FURTHER NORTH OUT OF THE AREA (I.E. THE
2000Z CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FROM SPC) SOME SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS
WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED SOON ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE ATYPICAL
TIMING OF THE EVENT. WILL ALSO TRY TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT
BETWEEN STORM MOTION OF 40-50KT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF
NON-DESCENDING TORNADOES WITHIN THE SQUALL LINE WARNING LEAD TIME
MAY BE SHORTENED. THE STORMS THEMSELVES WILL ALSO PROVIDE 'LITTLE TO
NO ADVANCED WARNING' AS THEY ARE EXPECTED TO CONTAIN HARDLY ANY
LIGHTNING DUE TO THE VERY SHALLOW NATURE OF THEIR UPDRAFTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...A TREMENDOUS AIRMASS CHANGE WILL BE ONGOING
WEDNESDAY MORNING AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE. THERE ARE
STILL SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FASTER GFS AND SLOWER
NAM CONCERNING EXACTLY WHEN THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE. THE 06Z
SREF ENSEMBLE MEAN IS SIMILAR TO THE 12Z OPERATIONAL NAM AND IS
THE BASIS FOR OUR FORECAST. THIS MEANS 8 AM TEMPERATURES IN THE
CAPE FEAR AREA WILL BE QUITE WARM (MID TO UPPER 60S) BEFORE
PLUNGING INTO THE 50S BY 9-10 AM AS THE FRONT POPS OFFSHORE.
LOCATIONS FARTHER INLAND WILL BEGIN THE DAY IN THE 50S WITH NEARLY
STEADY TEMPERATURES AS STRONG COLD ADVECTION IS BALANCED BY
SUNSHINE.

SOUTHERLY PRE-FRONTAL WINDS WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL VEER MORE UNI-
DIRECTIONAL WITH HEIGHT REDUCING HELICITY...BUT STRONG WIND GUSTS
ARE STILL POSSIBLE IN ANY CONVECTION GIVEN 50 KT WINDS LURKING
ONLY 3000 FT AGL. SOME POST-FRONTAL LIGHT RAIN IS POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE MID MORNING HOURS AS POWERFUL JET DYNAMICS TRANSLATE OVERHEAD
AND WORK WITH MOISTURE LINGERING IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER. SUNSHINE
SHOULD BREAK OUT BY NOON WITH GUSTY WEST WINDS THROUGH THE DAY.

INTENSE LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION WILL BRING IN THE CHILLIEST
TEMPERATURES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH.
LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL FALL TO NEAR FREEZING ALONG THE COAST
AND INTO THE 28-30 DEGREE RANGE INLAND. AFTER RISING ONLY INTO THE
LOWER 50S FOR HIGHS THURSDAY...LOWS SHOULD PLUNGE INTO THE 20S
ALMOST DOWN TO THE BEACHES THURSDAY NIGHT. THE 2010 GROWING
SEASON HAS BEEN DECLARED OVER SO NO FROST OR FREEZE PRODUCTS WILL
BE ISSUED DESPITE THE FACT SOME BACKYARD GARDENS NEAR THE COAST
(INCLUDING MY OWN) STILL HAVE SUMMER VEGGIES GROWING.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...COOL AND DRY WX WILL PREVAIL THRU THE EXTENDED
THANKS TO A MEAN UPPER TROF ALONG THE EAST COAST. AT THE SURFACE...
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD SWAY...RESULTING IN MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES AND TEMPS 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS...COLDER THAN
WE HAVE SEEN SINCE EARLY MARCH. COOLEST DAY WILL BE SATURDAY AS THE
COLD AIR IS REINFORCED...BUT MINIMAL RECOVERY SUN-MON AS HEIGHT
RISES WILL BE LIMITED IN FAST NW FLOW BEHIND THE TROUGH.  NEXT
REINFORCING SHOT ARRIVES LATE MONDAY OR TUESDAY...BUT TOO
MOISTURE-STARVED TO SUPPORT ANY MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 06Z...ONLY SOME MINOR TIMING CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS SET OF
TAFS. CONVERGENT BOUNDARY OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS WILL ALLOW  SHRA
TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ONSHORE AHEAD OF THE MAIN BAND OF PCPN. THE
MAJORITY OF THE COASTAL TERMINALS WILL AT TIMES OBSERVE THIS
PRE-FRONTAL TYPE OF CONVECTION UNTIL THE MAIN BAND ASSOCIATED WITH
THE FRONT ITSELF APPROACHES FROM THE WEST LATER DURING THIS EARLY
MORNING. STRONG WINDS ALOFT AND A NEGATIVE TILT AT THE 500 MB TROF
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO TRANSLATE 30-40KT WIND GUSTS DOWN TO THE
SURFACE...MAINLY FROM 160-200 DEGREES DIRECTIONS. THE THUNDER IS
PROGGED TO BE QUITE ISOLATED/EMBEDDED IN THE PCPN AND WILL HOLD
FROM PLACING THUNDER IN THE TAFS. AT THE MOMENT...WILL IDENTIFY THE
STRONGER SHRA AND WIND GUSTS WITH TEMPO CB GROUPINGS. CEILINGS HAVE
BEEN RATHER CONSTANT ACROSS AREA TERMINALS RANGING FROM 700 FT
THROUGH 1500 FT. WILL LIKELY KEEP THIS RANGE UP UNTIL THE CFP SLATED
IN THE 09-11Z FOR THE INLAND TERMINALS...TO 11-13Z FOR THE COASTAL
TERMINALS. AFTER FROPA...WINDS WILL VEER FROM SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWEST
AT 15-20 KT WITH GUST UP TO 30 KT. FURTHER BEHIND THE FRONT...WINDS
WILL FURTHER VEER TO A GUSTY WESTERLY DIRECTION AS COLD AIR
ADVECTION FUNNELS ACROSS THE AREA. BY MIDDAY...ALL LOCATIONS SHOULD
SEE VAST IMPROVEMENTS WITH CEILINGS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 9 PM TUESDAY...STRONG SCA CONTINUES. TIGHTENED SFC PG WILL
TIGHTEN EVEN MORE AS THE LINE OF CONVECTION APPROACHES THE WATERS
FROM THE MAINLAND OVERNIGHT. SE TO S 15-20 KT WINDS WILL INCREASE TO
AROUND 25 KT AFTER MIDNIGHT. WHERE SSTS ARE WARMER...THE HIER WINDS
JUST OFF THE DECK COULD MIX DOWN TO THE OCEAN SFC AS WIND GUSTS
APPROACH GALE FORCE...ESPECIALLY THE WATERS OFF FRYING PAN SHOALS.
SEAS CONTINUE TO BUILD IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASED ONSHORE
FLOW...AND SHOULD PEAK WEDNESDAY MORNING JUST PRIOR TO THE CFP.
AFTER FROPA...WINDS WILL VEER FROM S TO SW-W. SEAS WILL PEAK AROUND
DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY IN THE 7 TO 10 FOOT RANGE...WITH THE HIGHER SEAS
OFF CAPE FEAR AND OFF THE MOUTH OF WINYAH BAY.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST DURING THE 7-10 AM TIME FRAME AS A
STRONG COLD FRONT BLOWS THROUGH THE AREA. THE REMAINDER OF THE
PERIOD WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WILL SEE GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING WIND SPEEDS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TOWARD THE AREA.

SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY MORNING COULD CREATE
HAZARDOUS WIND GUSTS BY VIRTUE OF 50 KNOT WINDS LURKING ONLY 3000
FT ABOVE THE OCEAN SURFACE. EVEN OUTSIDE SHOWERS AND STORMS
SYNOPTIC WINDS OF 20-25 KNOTS GUSTING TO NEAR 30 KNOTS WILL PUSH
SEA HEIGHTS TO AS HIGH AS 7-9 FEET AT 20 MILES' DISTANCE FROM
SHORE WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND 5-7 FT NEAR SHORE. GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING SEAS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHTER
OFFSHORE WINDS EXPECTED.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...MAIN CHALLENGE IN THE 3-5 DAY FORECAST INVOLVES
THE UPPER IMPULSE CROSSING THE CAROLINAS FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS IMPULSE
WILL DESTABILIZE THE LOW LEVELS AND TIGHTEN THE GRADIENT JUST ENOUGH
TO BUMP THE WINDS UP TO 15-20 KT LATE FRI NIGHT/EARLY SAT MORNING.
NNW TRAJECTORY MEANS THAT SEAS WILL BE A FETCH-LIMITED 2-4
FT...HIGHEST AWAY FROM THE COAST.  AT THIS POINT EXPECT IT TO REMAIN
BELOW ADVISORY THRESHOLDS.

OTHERWISE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING TO OUR WEST MEANS THAT LIGHT
OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL THRU THE PERIOD...WITH WIND SPEEDS
GENERALLY AROUND 10 KT AND SEAS AROUND 2 FT.  EVEN THIS REQUIRED US
TO BEEF UP THE WNA WAVE GUIDANCE BY JUST A BIT.
