Special Weather Statement, NWS Wilmington, NC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
312 PM EDT WED JUL 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS
THE EASTERN CAROLINAS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY.
A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL DISSIPATE NEAR THE CAROLINA COAST
THIS WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRY TO RETURN TO THE AREA EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...WEAKLY FORCED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO FILL
IN ACROSS THE AREA MAINLY WEST OF THE SEA BREEZE. WILL CONTINUE TO
ADVERTISE LIKELY POPS AND MAY EVEN INCLUDE A COUPLE OF HOURS OF
CATEGORICAL...DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL COVERAGE...THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. SPC CONTINUES TO KEEP THE AREA
IN SEE TEXT CITING THE LACK OF COVERAGE OF THE SEVERE THREAT. MAIN
FORECAST DILEMMA REVOLVES AROUND THE CONVECTION CURRENTLY
DEVELOPING IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS ASSOCIATED WITH A
SHORTWAVE EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. GFS AND NAM AS WELL AS
THE 0000/05 ECMWF SHOW THE ACTIVITY WITH THIS FEATURE PERSISTING
UNTIL AROUND 0600 UTC THEN DECAYING AS IT APPROACHES OUR AREA.
WILL TREND POPS IN THIS DIRECTION...WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A
CONTINUATION OF THE INHERITED FORECAST. THE ADJUSTED MAV BIAS
CORRECTED NUMBERS WHICH ARE ON THE WARM SIDE LOOK GOOD FOR
OVERNIGHT LOWS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE MOISTURE FLOWING
UP THE WEST SIDE OF THE BERMUDA RIDGE. A TROUGH IN THE WESTERLY FLOW
WILL SHIFT CLOSER TO THE REGION AND WILL HAVE ITS BIGGEST IMPACTS
TOWARDS FRIDAY. THE DEEPER MOISTURE FROM THE GULF COAST AND THE
CARIBBEAN WILL COMBINE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH
PRECIPTABLE WATER VALUES OVER 2 INCHES. THE MID TO LOWER LEVEL
FLOW WILL BE RELATIVITY WEAK WHICH WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT FOR
VERY HEAVY RAINS AND PUSLE TYPE CONVECTION. THE BEST POTENTIAL IS
AWAY FROM THE COAST.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE LOWER 90S INLAND AND
AROUND 90 AT THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM WEDNESDAY...GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS EARLY IN
THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS A WEAK SHORT WAVE MOVES INTO THE REGION AND
THE AREA IS IN A FAVORABLE JET LOCATION. ALSO BUMPED POPS UPWARD
ON SUNDAY WITH THE WEAKNESS ALOFT PERSISTING. UPPER RIDGE WILL
BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TRENDING LOWER. IN THE MEANTIME...SOUTHERLY
LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL ADD TO A HIGH PRECIPTABLE WATER SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY IMPLYING AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND NORMAL DURING THE
WEEKEND... THEN BACK ABOVE NORMAL BY A CATEGORY AS THE UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS BACK ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 18Z...MODERATE
CONFIDENCE DUE TO TIMING OF RESTRICTIONS IN CONVECTION THROUGH THE
REST OF TODAY. FOG MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY AT LOCATIONS
THAT RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS
LIKELY ON THURSDAY.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE AND REMNANT BOUNDARIES FROM LAST NIGHT/S CONVECTION. TOUGHEST
CHALLENGE TODAY WILL BE TIMING EXACTLY WHEN MVFR/IFR WILL OCCUR AT
THE TERMINALS. BASED OFF CURRENT SATELLITE/RADAR...BELIEVE THAT ONCE
AGAIN MYR/CRE WILL MISS THE WORST OF THE CONVECTION DUE TO INLAND
PENETRATION OF THE SEA BREEZE SO WILL CONTINUE ONLY VCTS FOR THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. HAVE TEMPO MVFR AT ILM FOR A FEW HOURS WHERE
CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER...AND TEMPO IFR AT THE INLAND TERMINALS WHERE
HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY IN TSTMS. OF COURSE...AMD/S MAY BECOME
NECESSARY AS CONVECTION EVOLVES THIS AFTN. WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT
WILL BE SW AROUND 10 KTS INLAND...BACKED TO THE SOUTH AND GUSTING UP
TO 20 KTS WITH THE SEA BREEZE AT THE COAST.

CONVECTION MAY PERSIST WELL AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT...BUT EVENTUALLY
DISSIPATE DURING THE OVERNIGHT. LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE HEAVY RAIN
MAY SEE FOG OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IF WINDS DECREASE AS MUCH AS
CURRENTLY MODELED...AND HAVE INDICATED MVFR VSBYS INLAND BUT HAVE
TIME TO GET MORE SPECIFIC WITH THIS POTENTIAL IN LATER UPDATES.
SIMILAR AVIATION WEATHER EXPECTED THURSDAY WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
AND STORMS REDEVELOPING IN THE AFTN AND SW WINDS BECOMING S WITH THE
SEA BREEZE.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH TEMPO
IFR POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNDAY. DECREASING CHANCES FOR CONVECTION ON
MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE OVER
THE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS
SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY LOWER TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET IS NOT AS
PRONOUNCED. EXPECT SOUTHEAST FLOW TO TURN MORE TO THE SOUTH AS THE
SEA BREEZE DIMINISHES. WAVEWATCH SEEMS TO BE TOO STRONG ON A SWELL
COMPONENT EMANATING FROM THE BAHAMAS VIA CURRENT WAVE SPECTRUM
PLOTS ON 41013. WILL KEEP 2-4 FEET IN THE FORECAST.

SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...AS MENTIONED IN THE PAST FEW DISCUSSION THE
BERMUDA HIGH WILL BE IN CONTROL OF THE NEARSHORE WATERS. THIS WILL
PRODUCE SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH WINDS AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS. WINDS WILL
INCREASE AS A THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
APPROACHES THE AREA LATE IN THE PERIOD. SEAS WILL BE AROUND 2 TO 4
FEET EARLY THE INCREASE TO 3 TO 5 FEET BY FRIDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1:20 PM WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL
FROM OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST WITH WEAK TROUGH INLAND. THIS
PATTERN WILL PROMOTE SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. EXPECT WEAK SE SWELLS TO BE DOMINATED BY WIND WAVES MOST OF
THE TIME. SEAS WILL BE 3-4 FT AWAY FROM THE COAST TO AROUND 2 FT
NEAR SHORE.
