AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
229 PM EST SUN FEB 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL
SLIP THROUGH ON THURSDAY. A WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE
ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE AREA INTO AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...VERY WARM OVER THE EASTERN CAROLINAS THIS
AFTERNOON. IT HAS REACHED THE UPPER 70S MOST LOCATIONS AND EVEN HIT
80 IN A FEW PLACES. IT PEAKED AT 80 HERE AT ILM...THE FIRST TIME IT
HAS DONE SO SINCE WE HIT 82 ON OCTOBER 28 OF LAST YEAR. EXCEPTIONS
TO THESE BALMY TEMPERATURES ARE ALONG THE COAST...WHERE COLD SHELF
WATER TEMPERATURES AND AN ONSHORE FLOW HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES AT THE
BEACHES IN THE 50S. RADAR LOOPS SHOW A HEALTHY SEA BREEZE FRONT
MOVING INLAND THIS AFTERNOON...SO WE ARE SEEING A STEADY DROP IN
TEMPERATURES FOR OUR COASTAL LOCATIONS MOVING NORTHWESTWARD AWAY
FROM THE BEACHES.

THE BIG PICTURE SHOWS THAT THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE
WESTERN LIMB OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC HIGH THROUGH THE NEAR TERM.
THIS WILL KEEP UP A RELATIVELY WARM AND MOIST RETURN FLOW THROUGH
THE PERIOD. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE RELATES TO AFOREMENTIONED COLD
SHELF WATER TEMPERATURES. GUIDANCE SHOWS A WARM MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW
OVERNIGHT...WITH DEW POINTS EQUALING OR EXCEEDING SEA WATER
TEMPERATURES. IF WINDS DO NOT GET TOO STRONG...ALLOWING ENOUGH OF AN
OVER-WATER TRAJECTORY TIME...THIS WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF SEA
FOG AFFECTING THE COASTAL WATERS AND AREAS IMMEDIATELY INLAND. THE
REMAINDER OF OUR INLAND AREAS WILL SEE FOG OF A PATCHY TO AREAL
NATURE AS MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A SATURATED LOWER LEVELS
OVERNIGHT...WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID 50S OVERNIGHT...PRETTY MUCH
WHAT OUR MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE. AT THIS POINT THINK WINDS MAY
BE ON THE STRONG SIDE FOR DENSE FOG...SO HOLDING OFF ON ISSUING ANY
ADVISORIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...A WINDY AND WARM MONDAY AFTERNOON COMING UP AS
THE COASTAL CAROLINAS LIES BETWEEN A STRONG HIGH WELL OFF THE COAST
AND A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. MID LEVEL FLOW WILL BE
STRONG BUT OF LOW AMPLITUDE SO THE BOUNDARY WILL BE VERY QUICKLY
TRANSLATING TO THE EAST. INLAND LOCATIONS WILL HEAT UP TO 80
DEGREES. TEMPS WILL BE TEMPERED ALONG THE GRAND STRAND BY A SEA
BREEZE. SOUTHERN AND EASTERN BRUNSWICK CTY AND CAPE FEAR COAST WILL
HAVE A SLIGHTLY MORE ONSHORE FLOW COMPONENT AND WILL HAVE AFTERNOON
HIGH TEMPS EVEN FURTHER REDUCED. WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH TO SEE IF
THESE AREAS ARE PLAGUED WITH SEA STRATUS THROUGH MOST OF THE MORNING
AND MIDDAY ESP IMMED COAST. SHOULD LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES BECOME
STRONG ENOUGH A WIND ADVISORY COULD BE NEEDED ESPECIALLY WELL INLAND.
FOR NOW WILL CAP WINDS IN THE 30-35 MPH RANGE. BIGGEST FORECAST
QUESTION LOCALLY IS TO WHAT EXTENT THE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS TN AND UPSTATE CAROLINAS HOLDS TOGETHER THIS FAR EAST. RIGHT
NOW IT APPEARS THAT EVEN ACROSS OUR CWA THERE WILL BE A WEST-TO-EAST
GRADIENT IN SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES. AS THE BOUNDARY ENTERS
WESTERNMOST ZONES MONDAY EVENING THERE WILL STILL BE SOME
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SURFACE FRONTAL FORCING TO COUPLE WITH SOME LOW
AND MID LEVEL ASCENT FROM LLJ AND PVA RESPECTIVELY. THIS COULD BE AS
EARLY AS 02-03Z ACCORDING TO THE SLIGHTLY QUICKER WRF. SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT INLAND LOOKS LIKE LOW END DAMAGING WIND OR SPINUP
TORNADO TYPE OF SETUP IN HIGH SHEAR-LOW CAPE ENVIRONMENT. IN THE
MERE 1-2 HOURS THE FRONT THEN TAKES TO CLEAR THE COASTLINE IT WILL
OUTRUN THE MID LEVEL FORCING AND PRECIP GENERATION WILL BE CONFINED
TO THE SURFACE AND SLIGHT LOW LEVEL FORCING OF THE FRONT ITSELF.
ACCORDING TO FCST SOUNDINGS THOUGH A SURFACE BASED INVERSION MANAGES
TO FORM AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY. ASSUMING THIS IS CORRECT THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT WILL BE MINIMIZED AT THE COAST UNLESS A VERY NARROW
LINE OF CONVECTION MANAGES TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE OTHERWISE DWINDLING
FORCED LINE OF SHOWERS ALONG THE BOUNDARY. CAPE WILL BE MINIMAL BUT
LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS STRONG SO SVR THREAT SMALL BUT NON-ZERO.
STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION FOR THE LATTER HALF OF MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. HIGHS TUESDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO HIGH 60 IN MOST PLACES WHILE
LOWS DIP DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S. SOME LIGHT FROST IS TOUGH
TO RULE OUT INLAND ESPECIALLY ON ELEVATED SURFACES AS CURRENT
FORECAST TEMPS AND RISING SOILS TEMPS DON'T SEEM TO SUPPORT MUCH
MORE THAN THAT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CHANGES ARE FEW WITH REGARDS TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST
THIS AFTERNOON AS THE FOCUS BEGINS TO SHIFT TO THE END OF THE PERIOD
WHICH IS TRENDING IN THE MORE ACTIVE DIRECTION. 500MB PATTERN WILL
TRANSITION FROM ZONAL TO A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW BY THE END OF THE
PERIOD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST WITH HEIGHT FALLS ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S.
AT THE SURFACE...STILL EXPECT A DRY COLD FRONT TO MOVE ACROSS LATE
WEDNESDAY WITH ONLY A MINOR AIRMASS CHANGE. A MOIST EAST TO
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS LATER FRIDAY AND PERSISTS THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES WELL OFFSHORE. LOW
CHANCE POPS REMAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY WITH INCREASING
VALUES ESPECIALLY WEST SUNDAY CITING THE AFOREMENTIONED HEIGHT FALLS
ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S. TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD BUT DISCREPANCIES WILL BE MORE DRAMATIC FOR
OVERNIGHT LOWS LATER IN THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 16Z...VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME LIGHT SEA FOG
STILL LINGERING OFF THE COAST. MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR CONDITIONS TO
DETERIORATE TO IFR ALONG THE COAST FIRST...AROUND MIDNIGHT OR
SO...WITH INLAND TERMINALS COMING DOWN A FEW HOURS LATER. THE MARINE
LAYER ALONG THE COAST WILL ALLOW FOR HEAVY FOG AGAIN. WINDS ALOFT
INCREASE TOWARD MORNING...BUT THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT AFFECT THE SEA
FOG MUCH. MONDAY...CONDITIONS IMPROVING QUICKLY TO VFR INLAND...WITH
IFR CONDITIONS FINALLY ABATING ALONG THE COAST BY 14-15Z. SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT WEATHER
SYSTEM...GUSTING TO NEAR 25 KTS AT TIMES NEAR THE COAST.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...POSSIBLE IFR-MVFR IN/NEAR SCATTERED SHOWERS
MONDAY EVENING INTO TUESDAY MORNING. VFR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...COASTAL WATERS WILL REMAIN UNDER THE WESTERN
LIMB OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC HIGH THROUGH THE NEAR TERM. THIS WILL
KEEP UP A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OF 10 TO 15 KTS THROUGH MUCH OF
THE PERIOD...WITH SEAS IN THE 2 TO 3 FT RANGE UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT.
WINDS PICK UP A BIT TO A MORE STEADY 15 KTS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS
GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM. SEAS WILL
BUILD TO 3 TO 4 FT MOST LOCATIONS AS A RESULT. SEA FOG IS LIKELY TO
DEVELOP AGAIN OVERNIGHT...PERHAPS NOT AS DENSE AS PREVIOUSLY DUE TO
HIGHER WIND SPEEDS.

SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...PERIOD WILL INITIALIZE WITH SOME SEA FOG AS
HUMID AIR ADVECTS OVER THE COOLER OCEAN SURFACE AND SATURATES.
STRONG GRADIENT WINDS ON MONDAY. THE COASTAL WATERS WILL BE SITUATED
BETWEEN A LARGE HIGH IN THE WEST ATLANTIC AND A VIGOROUS AND FAST
MOVING COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY APPEARS TO BE NEEDED...ALTHOUGH THE SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS
MAY BE BORDERLINE. ALSO COMPLICATING FACTOR IS THAT THE AIR WILL BE
MUCH WARMER THAN THE SEA SURFACE AND THIS WILL HAVE ITS USUAL
EFFECT OF INHIBITING MIXING OF MOMENTUM FROM ALOFT IN THE FORM OF
GUSTS. HAVE THUS USED THE DEBUT OF 6 FT SEAS AS THE BASIS FOR
ADVISORY TIMES. RAPID FRONTAL PASSAGE MONDAY NIGHT WITH A VEER TO
NORTHWEST FOLLOWED BY DECREASING WIND SPEEDS. ADVISORY WILL DROP
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS THE 6 FT SEAS DROP OUT BUT CAUTIONARY
HEADLINES MAY NEED TO BE CARRIED FOR SOME ADDITIONAL TIME. SOME 6 FT
SEAS MAY CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE VERY OUTER REACHES OF NRN 2 ZONES
OUT NEAR FRYING PAN SHOALS INTO TUESDAY MORNING OR MIDDAY AND THE
EXACT END TIME OF THE ADVISORY IS UNCERTAIN.

LONG TERM MARINE...EXPECT A NE FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. SPEEDS WILL BE AT OR BELOW 10 KNOTS WEDNESDAY AND INCREASE
SOMEWHAT LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT MOVES
ACROSS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL TROUGH WILL MAINTAIN THE
GRADIENT FRIDAY. SEAS WILL BE RATHER BENIGN WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY
BUT INCREASE GRADUALLY WITH THE LONGEVITY AND STRENGTH OF THE NE
FLOW LATER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. HEIGHTS MAY ECLIPSE FLAG CRITERIA
BRIEFLY BEFORE THE FETCH CHANGES.
