AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
303 PM EDT WED JUN 30 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY. THE HIGH WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST SUNDAY WHILE STILL
INFLUENCING THE WEATHER THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SAG SOUTH THROUGH
THE REGION AND SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER 00Z.
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN VICINITY OF
THIS FEATURE AND ARE FORECAST TO BE WIDESPREAD THROUGH EARLY
EVENING. MUCH WEAKER THERMODYNAMICS TODAY VS YESTERDAY SHOULD
PRECLUDE SEVERE THREAT BUT WITH PW VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2" LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN. WILL SLOWLY TAPER OFF
PRECIPITATION LATE THIS EVENING FROM NORTH THROUGH SOUTH HANGING
ON TO A LINGERING SHOWER EARLY THURSDAY MORNING ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO DIMINISH OVERNIGHT BUT
COOLER/DRIER AIR FILTERING IN ON THE POST FRONTAL NORTHERLY FLOW
WILL PRODUCE LOWS IN THE 60S TONIGHT. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS
WILL RANGE FROM 1/4-1/2 INCH ACROSS THE NORTH AND 1/2-1 INCH
ACROSS THE SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...PLEASANT WEATHER EXPECTED FOR LATE WEEK
THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AS AN UPPER TROUGH SLIDING OFF THE EAST
COAST AND A STRONG MIDWEST UPPER RIDGE PRODUCE A MODERATELY STRONG
SURFACE HIGH OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THE NEARLY STATIONARY
HIGH WILL PRODUCE A COOLER AND DRY NORTHEASTERLY FLOW INTO THE
CAROLINAS FOLLOWING THE FRONT BEGINNING THURSDAY. THUS EXPECTING A
NICE HOLIDAY WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING BELOW NORMAL
ESPECIALLY NIGHTTIME LOWS WHICH COULD DROP INTO THE 50S FRIDAY NIGHT.
SHOULD SOME MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND WITH POPS
REMAINING BELOW CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO MIGRATE OFF THE
COAST RESULTING IN RETURN FLOW WHICH WILL PRODUCE WARMER
TEMPERATURES AND A LITTLE MORE MUGGINESS TO THE AIR SUNDAY. THE HEAT
AND HUMIDITY WILL BE EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH
HIGHS WELL INTO THE 90S BOTH DAYS PROVIDED THE REMNANTS OF THE UPPER
TROUGH OFF THE EAST COAST DO NOT PRODUCE A RETROGRADING SURFACE LOW
INTO NC LIKE THE GFS MODEL IS FORECASTING MID NEXT WEEK. DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY IN THIS OCCURRENCE AND THE RETURN TO MORE TYPICAL SUMMER
WEATHER I WILL ADD SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO THE FORECAST TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THINKING THAT A MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTIVE
REGIME WILL RETURN.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 255 PM WEDNESDAY...PATCHES OF LOWER CLOUDS AFFECTING
PORTIONS OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWLY
SINKS SOUTH OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN SECTIONS WITH VERY MOIST
BOUNDARY LAYER IN PLACE. MAY SEE BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CEILINGS
INTO THE EVENING AS SHOWERS/TSTMS BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVER THE
NEXT 3 TO 6 HOURS. DRIER AIR STARTS TO WORK IN CUTTING OFF MOST OF
THE PRECIP AROUND OR JUST AFTER 06Z TONIGHT. A FEW SHOWERS MAY
LINGER NEAR THE COAST EARLY THURSDAY...BUT MOST OF THE REMAINDER
OF THE FOREACST PERIOD WILL FEATURE VFR CONDITIONS EXCEPT FOR
PERHAPS SOME PATCHES OF NIGHTTIME STRATUS AND FOG.

&&

.MARINE...
AS OF 255 PM WEDNESDAY...COLD FRONT HAS WORKED INTO THE SOUTHERN
WATERS AS OF 18Z AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO SINK SLOWLY SOUTH. A BIT
OF A SURGE WAS NOTED OVER THE ALBEMARLE SOUND AND NRN WATERS
EARLIER WHICH WAS PICKED UP WELL BY LOCAL WRF MODEL. WILL CARRY
MODERATE (15 TO 20 KT) WINDS OVER THE ALBEMARLE SOUND AND FAR
NORTHERN LEG FOR A FEW HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS LINGERING SURGE.
WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE BY LATE EVENING. GFS/NAM THEN SHOW AN INCREASE
IN WINDS AGAIN FOR MOST OF THURSDAY LINGERING INTO FRIDAY IN
GRADIENT BETWEEN BUILDING HIGH TO THE NORTH AND LOW PRESSURE NEAR
BERMUDA. WILL HAVE 15 TO 20 KNOT WINDS ALONG THE WATERS NORTH OF
OCRACOKE THAT PERIOD WITH SEAS OCCASIONALLY UP TO 4 TO 5 FT...BUT
NO SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. THE WEEKEND
LOOKS GREAT WITH BENIGN MARINE CONDITIONS WITH WINDS GENERALLY 10
KNOTS OR LESS AND SEAS LESS THAN 3 FEET.
