AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
810 PM EDT TUE JUN 21 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK AS HIGH
PRESSURE DOMINATES THE SOUTHEAST. THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE LATE THIS WEEK AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 2:30 PM TUESDAY...ISOLATED SEA BREEZE RELATED CONVECTION
POPPING UP IN HORRY...GEORGETOWN AND COLUMBUS COUNTIES. RECENT
PASSAGE  OF WEAK COLD FRONT MAY HAVE HELP WEAKEN OR MIX OUT THE
STRONG CONVECTIVE CAP THAT HAD BEEN IN PLACE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS. THE SEA BREEZE FRONT AND INTENSE SURFACE HEATING OVER THESE
COUNTIES WERE THEN ABLE TO COMBINE FOR ISOLATED CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP.

TEMPERATURES WELL IN THE 90S OVER OUR INLAND AREAS...A TAD COOLER
THAN YESTERDAY DUE TO COLD FROPA. COASTAL REGIONS SHOWING A MUCH
GREATER TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL FROM YESTERDAYS RECORD HIGHS DUE TO
ONSHORE FLOW. WILL MAINTAIN THE HEAT ADVISORY OVER MOST OF OUR SC
COUNTIES UNTIL 8 PM WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES REACHING UP AROUND 105
DEGREES IN PLACES.

FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE CONVECTION POTENTIAL FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. NAM BULLISH ON POPS WITH A STRONG SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS
THE CWA OVERNIGHT...WHILE OTHER GUIDANCE KEEPS US DRY. GFS ALSO
DEPICTS THIS SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE TOP OF A STRONG H/5
RIDGE...BUT DOES NOT GENERATE POPS. THIS SEEMS MORE REASONABLE
CONSIDERING RECENT HISTORY WITH THE NAM AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN
A SEVERE DROUGHT. WILL THEREFORE OPT TO CONTINUE A DRY FORECAST FOR
THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. PRESENT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ENTIRELY DIURNALLY
DRIVEN...SO EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO FADE WITH THE SUNSET.

GUIDANCE IN GOOD ACCORD WITH TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT...MID 70S MOST
LOCATIONS AND UPPER 70S AT THE BEACHES. THIS IS ABOUT 5 TO 10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 2:30 PM TUESDAY...LOW CONFIDENCE REMAINS THE NAME OF THE GAME FOR THE
SHORT TERM FORECAST AS THE MID LEVEL PATTERN WILL FEATURE A RIDGE
ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO AND CUTOFF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES. 500MB HEIGHTS FALL EVER SO SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE PERIOD AND
MOISTURE PROFILES INCREASE...JUST OVER TWO INCHES FOR PRECIPITABLE
WATERS VIA THE GFS. THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF FEEDBACK HOWEVER AS ANY
NUMBER OF SHORTWAVES/OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...THIS TIME FROM THE
WEST/SOUTHWEST...INSTEAD OF THE NORTHWEST AS WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST
FEW DAYS...MOVE ACROSS. ITS CERTAINLY INTERESTING THE NAM IS THE
WETTER OF THE TWO WHEN COMPARED TO THE GFS. THE BEST I CAN DO FOR
NOW IS TREND IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION WHICH MEANS SEA
BREEZE/INFLECTION POINT CONVECTION WEDNESDAY WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
ALL AREAS OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE SEA BREEZE SHOULD
MODIFY TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN ALONG THE COAST WEDNESDAY AND THE
HOPE OF AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE THURSDAY MODIFYING READINGS
THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 2:30 PM TUESDAY...PERSISTENT S-SW FLOW AROUND BERMUDA HIGH
THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD IN A WARM SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN. WINDS WILL
BE STRONGER AT TIMES AS PIEDMONT TROUGH BECOMES MORE PRONOUNCED IN
THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...ESPECIALLY EARLY ON IN THE PERIOD.
THE MID TO UPPER RIDGE WILL GET PUSHED OFF SHORE BY FRI AS A LONGER
WAVE TROUGH SETS UP RESIDENCE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND THEN
GRADUALLY LIFTS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. OVERALL
WILL SEE PERSISTENT DEEP SW FLOW. PCP WATER VALUES WILL BE SLIGHTLY
LOWER ON FRI WITH A DIMINISHED CHC OF PCP EXPECTED BUT VALUES WILL
BE UP NEAR 2 INCHES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. WILL
INCLUDE A GENERAL CHC OF SHWRS/TSTMS EACH DAY EXPECTED MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING HOURS. FOCUS FOR CONVECTION WILL BE ALONG
SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY EACH AFTERNOON AND INLAND ALONG THE PIEDMONT
TROUGH. STEERING FLOW SHOULD MAINTAIN A GENERAL SW DIRECTION SO ANY
CLOUDS...SHWRS OR TSTMS THAT DEVELOP SHOULD MOVE OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST.

AS FOR TEMPS...850 TEMPS WHICH WERE UP NEAR 20-21C WILL DROP BY SAT
MORNING REMAINING AROUND 16-17C THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THEREFORE EXPECT TEMPS TO BE DOWN CLOSER TO NORMAL BUT STILL
REMAINING SLIGHTLY ABOVE...ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT AS AIR MASS REMAINS
VERY MOIST.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 00Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE VALID PERIOD...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MVFR/IFR
RESTRICTIONS LATE THIS EVENING INTO EARLY MORNING.

WITH THE COMBINATION OF HIGH DEWPOINTS/LLVL MOISTURE AND WINDS...AN
AREA OF HZ/BR/LLVL STRATUS HAS DEVELOPED...CAUSING IFR CIG/VSBY
RESTRICTIONS AT KCRE...AND MVFR RESTRICTIONS AT KMYR. EXPECT IFR
RESTRICTION AT KCRE TO LIFT UP TO MVFR WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AS
OF RIGHT NOW...UNCERTAINTY PERTAINING TO PERSISTENCE OF
CONDITIONS...BUT HAVE INCLUDED THESE MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS TO
CONTINUE AT THE COASTAL SITES THROUGH EARLY MORNING. LOW CONFIDENCE
AS TO WHETHER MVFR CIG RESTRICTIONS WILL ALSO DEVELOP...THUS HAVE
NOT INCLUDED IN TAF. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SITUATION AND UPDATE
AS NEEDED. CURRENT SOUNDINGS/TIME-HEIGHTS SUGGEST THAT THIS LLVL
STRATUS CLOUD LAYER COULD FILTRATE INTO THE INLAND TERMINALS.
CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON TIMING/ACTUALITY OF EVENT...SO HAVE NOT
INCLUDED ANY RESTRICTIONS ATTM.

BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR...THOUGH
AREAS OF SMOKE MAY BE VISIBLE DUE TO PENDER COUNTY WILDFIRE. FOR
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...SEA BREEZE WILL SET UP...AND CANNOT RULE OUT
AN ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA. GENERAL SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE
WITH WINDS OVERNIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ROUGHLY 5-8KTS.
WINDS WILL THEN INCREASE UP AROUND 8-10KTS...WITH SEABREEZE SETTING
UP BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. EXPECT POSSIBLE GUSTS OF 15KTS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2:30 PM TUESDAY...BERMUDA HIGH WILL BUILD BACK WEST OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS IN THE WAKE OF THE RECENT WEAK COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY VEER TO THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON THEN SW THIS
EVENING WHILE STRENGTHENING A BIT TO 10 TO 15 KTS. SEAS WILL BUILD
BY ABOUT A FOOT TO 3 TO 4 FT BY AROUND MIDNIGHT.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 2:30 PM TUESDAY...MODEST TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW
WITH WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THE
STRONGER FLOW...15-20 KNOTS OCCUR LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE
DAY THURSDAY AS THE PIEDMONT TROUGH INTENSIFIES. FOR WEDNESDAY A
RANGE OF 10-15 KNOTS SHOULD COVER IT. SEAS OF 2-4 FEET WILL CONTINUE
WEDNESDAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF 3-5 FEET AND A SCEC HEADLINE FOR
LATER THURSDAY.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 2:30 PM TUESDAY...PERSISTENT SW FLOW WILL CONTINUE AROUND BERMUDA
HIGH FRI THROUGH SUN. GRADIENT WILL REMAIN FAIRLY TIGHT BETWEEN
PIEDMONT TROUGH INLAND AND HIGH PRESSURE OFF SHORE RESULTING IN SW
WINDS UP IN THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE. THIS WILL KEEP SEAS UP IN THE 3
TO 5 FT RANGE ACROSS MOST OF THE WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD IN A
SHORTER PERIOD WIND SWELL. SEA BREEZE WILL ALSO ADD TO THE WINDS
EACH AFTERNOON PRODUCING CHOPPY SEAS NEAR SHORE.
