AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
316 PM EDT FRI AUG 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA WILL RESULT IN
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER THE PEE DEE AND
SANDHILLS REGIONS OF THE EASTERN CAROLINAS THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK RESULTING IN ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO BE THE FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON WITH EXTREMELY LIGHT WINDS ALOFT. THE CURRENT
MODEL PROFILES ARE SHOWING THE FIRST HINT OF 15 KNOTS OF WINDS AT
350 MB. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER IN THE 2.25 TO 2.50 INCH RANGE AND
THIS STAGNANT STORM MOTION...VERY HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
BIG THREAT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

WEST TO WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS THE FORECAST
AREA IS ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE. HARD TO DETECT
BUT MODEL ARE SHOWING A WEAK TROUGH IN THE 500 MB FLOW AND A FEW WEAK
VORTICITY MAXS. IF ANY OF THESE WEAK DISTURBANCES ALOFT DO PAN
OUT...THIS COMBINED WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARIES AND A VERY MOIST
LOWER LEVEL WILL HELP TRIGGER ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.
WINDS WILL BE RELATIVELY LIGHT AND IF THE SKIES DO CLEAR OUT
OVERNIGHT THEN MAY SEE
SOME PATCHY FOG ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE MIDDLE 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...MID/UPPER RIDGE AXIS ALONG THE EAST COAST
EARLY SATURDAY WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE AND GIVE WAY TO MORE OF A
ZONAL FLOW BY SUNDAY. AT THE SURFACE...A WEAKENING QUASI-
STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION WILL ACT AS A
FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION EACH DAY...ALTHOUGH
INDICATIONS ARE THE BOUNDARY WILL SHIFT NORTH BY SUNDAY WITH
REDUCED CHANCES OF CONVECTION. S-SW FLOW AT THE SURFACE WILL PROP
DEWPOINTS UP INTO THE MID OR EVEN UPPER 70S...AND GIVEN FORECAST
HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOW-MID 90S BOTH DAYS...HEAT INDICES CAN BE
EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE 100-105 RANGE...JUST SHY OF ADVISORY
CRITERIA.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...HPC MAINTAINS A BLEND OF THE GEM AND ECMWF
OPERATIONAL MODEL WHICH SHOWS A SUBTLE NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE
PERIOD. WITH THIS SETUP THE PIEDMONT TROUGH WILL BE A MAINSTAY AND
POPS WILL BE A FUNCTION OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND SHORTWAVES. THE
ECMWF IS SHOWING A BOUNDARY SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE ARE CURRENTLY
SEEING MOVING INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...MVFR RESTRICTIONS CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA DUE TO
SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW AS TO WHETHER CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE GIVEN LIKELIHOOD OF ON GOING SCATTERED CONVECTION FOR THE REST
OF THE DAY FOLLOWED BY POSSIBLE STRATUS/FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT
INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

CONVECTION BEGAN EARLY TODAY WITH CURRENT RADAR ALREADY DEPICTING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. WITH A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA IN COMBINATION WITH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND DECENT INSTABILITY...EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO LAST INTO
EARLY EVENING. GIVEN SCATTERED NATURE OF ACTIVITY...HAVE NOT
SPECIFICALLY INDICATED RESTRICTIONS BUT HAVE INCLUDED VCTS AND CB AT
ALL TERMINALS. STRONGER STORMS MAY CAUSE BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR
RESTRICTIONS. AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE WILL SHIFT WINDS MORE S WITH
SPEEDS AROUND 10KTS..

THOUGH CURRENT MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS STRATUS LAYER DEVELOPMENT
WILL PREVAIL OVER FOG...AREAS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL WILL HAVE A
HIGHER CHANCE FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT GIVEN THE ADDITIONAL
MOISTURE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A LIGHT NOCTURNAL JET. HOWEVER...IF
CLOUD COVER CONTINUES...CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE IDEAL. ATTM...HAVE
INTRODUCED INTRODUCED MVFR RESTRICTIONS AT COASTALS AND MARGINAL IFR
AT INLAND SITES EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...POTENTIALLY LINGERING AFTER
DAYBREAK. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY SW AOB 8KTS. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO
IMPROVE TO VFR BY MIDDAY SATURDAY WITH AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE SHIFTING
WINDS MORE SOUTHERLY...WITH SPEEDS NEAR 10KTS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLE EACH
AFTERNOON CHANCES INCREASING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OTHERWISE
EXPECT VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE LINGERING OVER
THE WATERS OVERNIGHT AND WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE VERY LIGHT
OVERNIGHT...AROUND 10 KNOTS. CURRENT SEAS ARE RUNNING AROUND 3 FEET
AND WITH UPDATE WINDS THE SWAN CONTINUE 3 FEET WITH 2 FEET NEAR
SHORE.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN EITHER
JUST INLAND OR NORTH OF THE WATERS FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD...
RESULTING IN A GENERAL SW FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN UP ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT
BETWEEN BERMUDA HIGH AND A SURFACE LOW THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS
PENNSYLVANIA. ALTHOUGH SEAS MAY BUILD TO 4-5 FT IN THE OUTER
WATERS ON SUNDAY...THE SW WIND TRAJECTORY SHOULD LIMIT WIND WAVE
HEIGHTS TO 3 FT WITHIN 10 MILES OF SHORE.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN FOR THE EXTENDED
MARINE COMMUNITY. ANY SWELL GENERATED BY THE REMNANTS OF EMILY
WILL BE ABATING WITH SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS OF 3-5 FEET EARLY
DECREASING TO 2-4 FEET BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS SHOULD BE FROM
