AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
406 PM EDT SUN MAR 20 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE TONIGHT. A WEAK WARM FRONT WILL
LIFT THROUGH THE AREA AS FLOW BECOMES SOUTHERLY AROUND THE
BACKSIDE OF THE HIGH. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DRIFT SOUTH ACROSS
THE WATERS LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY THEN LIFT NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER
THE AREA ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 400 PM SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT
OFFSHORE TONIGHT. MID CLOUDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA FROM
THE WEST OVERNIGHT AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE AREA.
EASTERLY WINDS WILL DIMINISH WITH SUNSET INLAND...BUT REMAIN UP
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST A BIT LONGER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH/WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT
AND CROSS NORTH OF THE REGION MONDAY. EXPECT MID/HIGH CLOUDS TO
INCREASE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
FEATURE. INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF POPS ON THE OUTER BANKS LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING WITH THIS FEATURE. GUIDANCE
WAS IN GOOD AGREEMENT BOTH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW FOR TEMPERATURES
AND FOLLOWED A BLEND IN THE FCST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM SUNDAY...ACTIVE PATTERN EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA WITH
SEVERAL WEATHER SYSTEMS FORECAST TO AFFECT THE REGION BUT NOT
EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL THROUGH THE
PERIOD. THE SUB TROPICAL RIDGE CURRENTLY AMPLIFYING INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION WILL BE FLATTENED MID WEEK BY A PARADE OF SHORTWAVES
EMERGING OUT OF THE WESTERN US UPPER TROUGH. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF
THESE SHORTWAVES WILL AFFECT EASTERN NC WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY AND WILL GIVE US OUR BEST SHOT AT MEASURABLE RAINFALL BUT
WITH AMOUNTS OF ONLY 1/10" OF AN INCH OR LESS MOST AREAS. BY THE END
OF THE WEEK COLD AIR WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE EASTERN US
WITH SOME OF THIS AIRMASS MAKING IT SOUTH INTO EASTERN NC WITH BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

MODEL DIFFERENCES LEAD TO A BELOW NORMAL CONFIDENCE FACTOR IN THE
DETAILS OF THE FORECAST AND THESE DIFFERENCES BEGIN AS EARLY AS THE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY TIME FRAME AS THE MODELS BRING A DRY COLD
FRONT INTO NC WHERE IT WILL EVENTUALLY STALL. THE 06Z GFS AND 00Z
ECMWF WERE THE FASTEST BRINGING THE FRONT INTO NORTHERN AREAS BY 12Z
TUE. THE 12Z NAM WHILE A LITTLE SLOWER HAS CAUGHT UP TO THE
GFS/ECMWF. THE FRONTAL PLACEMENT WILL HAVE A BIG AFFECT ON
TEMPERATURES AS AREAS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE COOLER ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE OUTER BANKS WHERE FLOW OFF THE COLD SHELF WATERS WILL
PRODUCE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER READINGS. WILL FOLLOW THE MODEL
CONSENSUS AND BRING THE FRONT INTO SE NORTH CAROLINA TUES AFTERNOON.
WHILE A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDINESS WILL OCCUR WITH THE FRONT AT TIMES
NONE OF THE OPERATIONAL MODELS PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. WILL
FORECAST 20-30% POPS MON NIGHT HIGHEST NE WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHS
OF AN INCH EXPECTED IF ANY PRECIPITATION MATERIALIZES.

THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL RETREAT NORTH AS WARM FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT
AND EARLY WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY A BRISK...WARM SW FLOW WEDNESDAY
WITH READINGS WELL INTO THE 70S. SOME NEGLIGIBLE PRECIPITATION IS
AGAIN POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT MAINLY OVER THE NORTHEAST ZONES WITH
THE FRONT. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY A STRONG SHORTWAVE AND THIS WILL HELP
PRODUCE SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH AROUND 1/10 OF AN INCH OF
QPF EXPECTED. THE INITIAL FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON ENDING THE SMALL PRECIPITATION THREAT BUT THE COLD AIR
WILL BE DELAYED SO ANOTHER WARM DAY IS EXPECTED WITH READINGS IN THE
