AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
927 PM EST TUE JAN 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COASTAL TROUGH WILL LINGER ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST THIS EVENING.
LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST TONIGHT AND MOVE ALONG
THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION THURSDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 735 PM TUESDAY...LATEST SHORT-TERM TRENDS INDICATE SOME
DISSIPATION OF RAINFALL OVER THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAINS AND
MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SHOWS BEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE NEAR THE COAST.
THIS SHOULD REMAIN THE CASE AS LARGE AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL WORKS MAINLY ALONG THE COAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS
WITH MORE SCATTERED ACTIVITY INLAND. AS A RESULT OF THIS
TREND...HAVE LOWERED POPS JUST A BIT TO LIKELY OVER THE COASTAL
PLAINS COUNTIES WHILE CONTINUING CATEGORICAL POPS ELSEWHERE WITH
POTENTIAL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES POSSIBLE IN THE NEAR-COASTAL
COUNTIES. TEMPERATURES WILL CHANGE LITTLE OVERNIGHT...PERHAPS DROPPING
A DEGREE OR TWO. REST OF FORECAST WILL BE UNCHANGED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...BY WEDNESDAY MORNING THE SURFACE LOW AND MOST
OF THE LARGE PRECIPITATION FIELD WILL HAVE PASSED THROUGH THE AREA
WITH A DRY SLOT PROGGED TO CROSS THROUGH MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. THE LAST
PRECIPITATION AREA WILL PASS THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SWINGING THROUGH
THE CAROLINAS. EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO TAPER OFF WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS SURFACE LOW MOVES WELL NORTHEAST OF THE
REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE 50S WEDNESDAY AND LOWER
60S ACROSS THE OUTER BANKS...WITH NIGHT TIME TEMPS FALLING BACK
NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS WITH MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST
THURSDAY. THE PATTERN ALOFT WILL EXHIBIT A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THE GFS KEEPS OUR AREA DRY WHILE THE ECMWF
DRAGS A WEAK SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE BROAD TROUGH WITH LIGHT SHOWERS
ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY. DUE TO MODEL UNCERTAINTY...DECIDED TO KEEP
OUT MENTION OF PRECIP AT THIS TIME. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SWING
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH HIGH PRESSURE GENERALLY ACROSS THE
AREA TO THE SOUTH THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. EXPECT TEMPERATURES NEAR
SEASONAL NORMALS...LOWS IN THE MID 30S AND HIGHS IN THE 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 740 PM TUESDAY...EXPECT LOW CEILINGS (LIFR/IFR) TO REMAIN
LOCKED IN AT THE EASTERNMOST TAF SITES OF EWN AND OAJ...BUT MAY
SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT OVERNIGHT AT ISO AND ESPECIALLY PGV AS
HEAVIER PRECIP FOCUSES NEAR THE COAST WITH MORE SCATTERED RAINFALL
INLAND AND WILL LIKELY MONITOR THIS TREND AND MAY NEED TO UPDATE
THE ISO AND PGV TAFS SHORTLY. IFR/LIFR CEILINGS LIKELY FOR MOST AREAS
TOMORROW AS RAIN AREA LIKELY FILLS BACK IN WITH WIDESPREAD
REDUCTIONS IN VSBYS AS WELL.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS OF 145 PM TUE...EXPECT MAINLY IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS THRU MOST OF
WED. CURRENTLY HAVE WIDESPREAD RAIN OVER THE AREA...MAY SEE A BREAK
SHORTLY THEN WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL AGAIN SPREAD OVER THE REGION IN
ADVANCE OF APPROACHING LOW THIS EVENING. WITH CSTL TRF OFFSHORE
EXPECT LIGHT N/NE WINDS OVERNIGHT AND THIS SHLD KEEP LOW CLOUDS OVER
THE REGION. NOW LOOKS LIKE LOW WILL TRACK ALONG THE CST KEEPING
TAFS ON COOL SIDE AND LIKELY LOCKING IN LOW CLOUDS MOST OF WED.
VSBYS WILL ALSO DROP INTO IFR RANGE FOR PROLONGED PERIODS IN
RAIN/FOG. IN WAKE OF LOW LATE WED/WED EVENING GUSTY W WINDS WILL
DEVELOP AND EXPECT THIS TO SCOUR OUT LOW LVL MOISTURE WITH
CONDITIONS BECOMING VFR.

PRIMARILY VFR REST OF PERIOD WITH NO PRECIP EXPECTED. MOST OF THE
CLOUDS THAT WILL SEE WILL BE OF THE MID AND HIGH LVL TYPE.

&&

.MARINE...
AS OF 925 PM TUESDAY...TROUGH LINGER OFF THE COAST AS SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. SEAS ALL ALREADY AT SCA
OVER THE MIDDLE LEGS AND SEAS SHOULD GRADUALLY REACH SCA LEVELS
OVER THE SOUTHERN LEGS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AS THE LOW MOVES
NORTH...PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES WITH SCA LEVEL WINDS BY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO CURRENT MARINE FORECAST...JUST
MADE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON CURRENT OBSERVATIONS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS OF 2 PM TUE...CSTL TRF HAS DRIFTED A LITTLE FURTHER
OFFSHORE THIS AFTN AND CONT TO LEAN TWRD GEM/NAM THRU THE EVENING
AS SEEMED TO HAVE GOOD HANDLE ON CRNT TRENDS. THIS WILL KEEP
MAINLY N/NE WINDS ALONG THE CST OVERNIGHT. NAM/GFS NOW TRACK LOW A
LITTLE FURTHER E MAINLY RIGHT ALONG THE CST. THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD
TO A LULL IN WINDS EARLY WED AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS. ALTHOUGH
WINDS TONIGHT INTO EARLY WED WILL NOT BE IN SCA RANGE EXPECT SEAS
TO CONT TO BUILD AS THE STRONG SE WINDS WELL OFFSHORE PUSH WAVE
ENERGY INTO THE NEAR SHORE WTRS. NO CHANGES TO HEADLINES OVER CSTL
WTRS WITH SCA CONTINUING CNTRL AND N AND DEVELOPING IT LATER
TONIGHT NRN WTRS. AS THE LOW LIFTS TO THE NE LATER WIND EXPECT A
SURGE OF W WINDS TO DEVELOP. STILL LOOKS CLOSE TO GALE CONDITIONS
CNTRL AND S BUT SINCE MARGINAL WILL NOT ISSUE ANY GALE HEADLINES.
DID ADD SCA FOR SOUNDS LATER WED THRU WED NIGHT. SEAS WILL PEAK IN
