AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
245 PM EST WED DEC 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP OFF THE COAST THIS EVENING. COLDER AIR WILL
SPILL ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY BRINGING CHILLY TEMPERATURES...
MORE TYPICAL OF EARLY DECEMBER...THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...THE JET MAX HAS MOVED QUICKLY AROUND THE
BASE OF THE 500 HPA PRESSURE TROUGH. IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN
GEORGIA AND WILL QUICKLY MOVE OVER EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA BY 00 UTC.
AS PROGGED FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS WE WILL GET A FEW HOURS OF
PRECIPITATION BUT THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL FAIRLY LOW AS THE BEST
LIFT AND THE DEEPER MOISTURE ARE TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA.

AT THE SURFACE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS STILL WEST OF A CHARLOTTE AND
COLUMBIA LINE. WITH THE SPEED OF THE SHORTWAVE THE SURFACE FRONT
SHOULD MOVE OFF THE COAST A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNRISE.  THE MID 70S
TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY DROP OVERNIGHT WITH MORNING LOWS EXPECTED
TO BE AROUND 40 AT THE COAST AND THE MID 30S FOR THE INLAND AREAS.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SLOW WEAKEN OVERNIGHT AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MOVES WELL OFF THE COAST. WINDS WILL DROP FROM 20 KNOTS AT 00 UTC TO
8 TO 10 KNOTS BY SUNRISE. WIND CHILLS IN THE WEST OF INTERSTATE 95
ARE EXPECTED TO DROP DOWN INTO THE UPPER 20S AND THE MIDDLE 30S
ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...BRIEF ZONAL FLOW ALOFT THURSDAY WILL GIVE
WAY TO A DEVELOPING TROUGH ACROSS THE PLAINS DURING FRIDAY. AT THE
SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST/NORTHEAST FROM THE DEEP
SOUTH THEN WEAKEN AS IT SPREADS TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL ONLY BE AROUND
0.2 INCHES THURSDAY AND SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH THE FIRST
PART OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. AS LOW-LEVEL RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS BY
FRI THE PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASES...THUS EXPECT TO SEE SCT-V-BKN
CLOUDS ADVECT IN FROM THE OCEAN FRIDAY. MOISTURE DEPTH EXPECTED TO
REMAIN SHALLOW...THUS NO POPS REQUIRED. MAX/MIN TEMPERATURES WILL
DROP BACK TO NORMAL IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...THE 12Z GFS IS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
THE 00Z ECMWF RUN FROM LAST NIGHT...BUT NEITHER MODEL BEARS ANY
RESEMBLANCE TO THE 00Z GFS WITH REGARDS TO THE PATTERN TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. WE THEREFORE MOVE INTO NEXT WEEK'S FORECAST WITH LOWER
THAN NORMAL CERTAINTY.

A STRONG UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE OFF THE NORTHEAST U.S. COAST
SATURDAY MORNING...WHILE TRAILING SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES MUCH MORE
SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BUILD EAST INTO PENNSYLVANIA SUNDAY...THEN
OFF THE COAST SUNDAY NIGHT. CHILLY NORTH TO NORTHEAST SURFACE WINDS
AND PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE EXPECTED BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH
1000-500 MB THICKNESS VALUES AROUND 548 DM AND 850 MB TEMPS AROUND
+5C. WITH COLD ADVECTION ACROSS THE WARM OCEAN THE MODELS SHOW LOTS
OF SHALLOW CONVECTION MAINLY FROM THE WEST WALL OF THE GULF STREAM
EASTWARD. WE WILL KEEP LAND AREAS DRY THROUGH THIS FORECAST.

THE 12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF SHOW A LARGE 500 MB RIDGE DEVELOPING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH
RISING HEIGHTS AND THICKNESSES ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES.
SHOULD THIS VERIFY TEMPERATURES WOULD MODERATE BY MID-WEEK WITH
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. HOWEVER LAST NIGHT'S 00Z GFS SHOWED A STRONG
SHORTWAVE DIVING SOUTHEAST AND CUTTING OFF ACROSS THE
CAROLINAS...OBVIOUSLY BRINGING A MUCH WETTER AND COOLER WEATHER
PATTERN. A FIRST LOOK AT THE 12Z ECMWF ALSO SHOWED THE GULF OF
MEXICO RIDGE...BUT DISPLACED FAR ENOUGH WEST THAT MORE UPPER
TROUGHING (AND IMPLIED COOLER TEMPERATURES AND MORE CLOUDS) WERE
POSSIBLE HERE ALONG THE EAST COAST. UNTIL THE MODELS SORT OUT THIS
PATTERN A LITTLE MORE DEFINITIVELY WE WILL HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH REGARDS TO THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN
OR SPECIFIC LOCAL IMPACTS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...VFR WITH PERIODS OF MVFR OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
HOURS...WITH MVFR/BRIEF IFR RESTRICTIONS ANTICIPATED DUE TO SHOWERS
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH OVERNIGHT. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO
VFR WEST TO EAST LATE OVERNIGHT...CONTINUING THROUGH VALID PERIOD.

CURRENT SATELLITE AND RADAR DEPICT DECENT LOW TO MID LEVEL CLOUD
COVER AND SHRA ACTIVITY DRAPED ACROSS THE CENTRAL CAROLINAS
ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. EXPECT THE LEADING EDGE
OF THIS ACTIVITY TO AFFECT THE INLAND TERMINALS WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR
OR TWO. SKY COVER HAS BEGUN TO INCREASE IN THICKNESS AND COVERAGE
ACROSS OUR AREA...WITH SOME INTERMITTENT AREAS OF BRIEF MVFR
ALREADY. ANTICIPATE MVFR RESTRICTIONS DUE TO BKN/OVC CIGS AND LOW
VISIBILITY DUE TO SHOWERS THROUGH TONIGHT. CANNOT RULE OUT BRIEF
PERIODS OF IFR WITH HEAVIER SHOWERS.

THIS AFTERNOON...CURRENT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL VEER MORE
WESTERLY...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 15-20 KTS AND GUSTS AROUND 25-30
KTS. LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WINDS WILL BECOME
NORTH-NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FROPA...WITH GUSTS AROUND 15-20 KTS
POSSIBLE. ANTICIPATE SKY COVER TO CLEAR ALLOWING FOR VFR TO PREVAIL
LATE OVERNIGHT THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD WITH NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS
AOB 12 KTS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR FRIDAY THROUGH FCST PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...A STRONG SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT
AS WINDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE WITH THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT
CAUSED BY THE QUICK MOVING COLD FRONT. CURRENTLY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS ARE BLOWING ACROSS THE COOLER SHELF WATERS
AND WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO 25 KNOTS AT FRYING PAN SHOALS.  SEAS
HAVE RESPONDED AND ARE UP TO 4 FEET 10 MILES OF WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH
AND NEARING 7 FEET AT FRYING PAN SHOALS. WINDS SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED
TO INCREASE TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS AS THE WINDS PEAK
AT TIME OF THE COASTAL PASSAGE AND JUST BEHIND THIS RAPIDLY MOVING
SYSTEM. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 7 TO 8 FEET AT 20 MILES OFF
THE COAST.

OFFSHORE WIND IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AROUND THE TIME OF LOW TIDE
TONIGHT MAY CREATE SOME NAVIGATION ISSUES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
SHALLOW AREAS NEAR WATERWAYS AND TIDAL CREEKS.

SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION THURSDAY MORNING
WILL ABATE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WEAKENING COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL
ALLOW NORTHERLY WINDS TO DIMINISH THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AS HIGH
PRESSURE TRANSITIONS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION THE FLOW WILL BECOME
NORTHEAST THURSDAY NIGHT...THEN BACK TO A LIGHT NORTHERLY DIRECTION
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. A RANGE OF SEAS WILL EXIST EACH PERIOD
GIVEN OFFSHORE FLOW. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE HIGHEST THURSDAY...AND
WILL SUBSIDE SOME DURING FRIDAY.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY
SATURDAY WILL MOVE EAST INTO PENNSYLVANIA SUNDAY...THEN FURTHER
NORTHEASTWARD AND OFFSHORE MONDAY. THIS WILL MAINTAIN MODERATE TO
STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...SUBSIDING
SOMEWHAT ON MONDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS DUE TO WINDS AND
SEAS APPEAR VERY LIKELY FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. UNLIKE
TYPICAL ARCTIC AIRMASSES THERE WILL BE SOME MOISTURE REMAINING OVER
THE COASTAL WATERS THIS TIME...SO CLOUDS AND PERHAPS EVEN SOME
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.
