AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
346 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OFFSHORE WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE AREA TODAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL QUICKLY MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY. ANOTHER
STRONGER FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 245 AM FRIDAY...PRECIPITATION HAS MOVED OFFSHORE AS OF 06Z
AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST OF HATTERAS AND OFFSHORE. LOW CLOUDS
WILL LINGER THRU THE MORNING BEFORE THINNING OUT DURING THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS PER LATEST FORECAST SOUNDINGS. DESPITE A RATHER
STRONG MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE ROTATING THRU THE BASE OF A 500 MB TROUGH
AXIS...THINK PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE RATHER LIMITED AS BOUNDARY
LAYER DRIES TODAY. MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH MAINLY THE MIDDLE AND
UPPER 50S...WITH PERHAPS A FEW LOWER 60S IN THE NORMAL WARMER
LOCATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 250 AM FRIDAY...LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY
TONIGHT AND HAVE TRENDED TOWARD THE WARMER GFS BIAS CORRECTED MIN
TEMPERATURE FORECAST SHOWING MINS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S WITH UPPER
40S OVER THE OUTER BANKS. MOISTURE INCREASES LATE TONIGHT AS WEAK
H5 SHORTWAVE CROSSES THE REGION. AT THIS TIME WILL LEAVE POPS OUT
AS BEST SUPPORT FOR PRECIP MOVES JUST NORTH OF THE CWA AND WILL
SIMPLY INDICATE AN INCREASING CLOUD TREND AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM FRIDAY...RATHER AMPLIFIED PATTERN IN STORE FOR THE
MEDIUM RANGE WITH A RETURN TO WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS BY MID WEEK.
IN THE MEDIUM RANGE...GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
WEAK AND FAST MOVING SURFACE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST
SATURDAY MORNING AS AN UPPER LOW SLOWLY MOVES EAST FROM NEW
ENGLAND TO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. EXPECT NO QPF AS BEST LIFT
AND MOISTURE WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE REGION. EXPECT GUSTY WINDS
UPWARDS OF 30 MPH SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT DUE TO TIGHT
WESTERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT PROGGED TO SETUP WITH STRONG LOW
PRESSURE IN THE NORTHEAST AND SURFACE RIDGING DEVELOPING ACROSS
THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. UPPER TROUGH AXIS MOVES EAST OFFSHORE BY
SUNDAY. MAINLY USED A BLEND OF NAM/GFS AND PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR
GRIDS.

WARM FRONT CROSSES THE CAROLINAS ON SUNDAY NIGHT BUT NOT EXPECTING
ANY SHOWERS WITH THIS FRONT AS BEST MOISTURE STAYS WEST. COMPLEX
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS ON MONDAY...WITH
SURFACE RIDGING PUSHED OFFSHORE INDUCING A WARMING SOUTHWEST
RETURN FLOW FOR MONDAY. FOR TUESDAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVING
ALONG THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE
CAROLINAS TUESDAY EVENING INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. CURRENT PROJECTION
SUGGESTS SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE WITH LIFTED INDICIES -2 TO -4
C...300 TO 500 J/KG CAPE...60 TO 70 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET...AND 0-3
KM HELICITIES APPROACHING 400 M2/S2. THERE ARE TIMING DIFFERENCES
IN THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS THAT COULD IMPACT THE AMOUNT OF SVR WX
WE COULD EXPERIENCE...WITH THE 00Z GFS NOW FAVORED OVER THE 00Z
ECMWF. THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE PROGGED BY THE GFS ALLOWS FOR AMPLE
DAYTIME HEATING WHILE THE ECMWF DELAYS THE PASSAGE BY ABOUT 6
HOURS INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS...DIMINISHING THE SVR WX POTENTIAL.
LEANED TOWARDS THE GFS FOR NOW...WITH THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER
PLACING THE CAROLINAS IN A DAY 6 SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.

EXPECT GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WEDNESDAY BEHIND THE FRONT WITH STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES...OTHERWISE
EXPECT DRYING AND WARMING TREND TO DEVELOP WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
USED A GFS WEIGHTED BLEND WITH ECMWF AND PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR GRIDS.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
/SHORT TERM TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 255 AM FRIDAY...LATEST 11 TO 3.9 MICRON SATELLITE IMAGERY
ALONG WITH SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW WIDESPREAD IFR CEILINGS.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SHOW DRYING AROUND
18Z AND WILL SHOW AN IMPROVEMENT TO VFR AROUND THAT TIME. THINK
MOST OF THE CLOUDINESS TONIGHT WILL BE HIGH CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH
WEAK MID-LEVEL IMPULSE CROSSING THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT.

/LONG TERM SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 335 AM FRIDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK...THOUGH WINDS WILL BE QUITE STRONG OUT OF THE WNW
FOR SATURDAY. RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND WINDS
BECOME GUSTY ONCE AGAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST...ESPECIALLY DURING THE

REGION TUESDAY EVENING BRINGING THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF THEM SEVERE.

&&

.MARINE...
/SHORT TERM TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM FRIDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE ON ALL THE
COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING. CONDITIONS ARE BELOW SCA AT THE BUOY
SITES CURRENTLY BUT SUSPECT SOME 6 FOOTERS ARE OCCURRING WELL
OFFSHORE AND THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TODAY. IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG H5
SHORTWAVE...ANTICIPATE SCA WINDS TO KICK IN OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS TONIGHT WITH GENERALLY WEST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS.
WAVEWATCH APPEARS TO BE ABOUT A FOOT UNDERDONE INITIALLY SO MADE
ADJUSTMENTS UPWARD ON WAVEWATCH GUIDANCE.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 340 AM FRIDAY...UNFAVORABLE BOATING CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
FOR SATURDAY AS WINDS WILL GUST ABOVE GALE FORCE DUE TO SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE
WEST AND LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. UPGRADE TO GALE
WARNING POSSIBLE DURING DAY SHIFT TODAY AS SEVERAL MODEL RUNS
HAVE NOW PRODUCED GALE WARNING SCENARIO ESPECIALLY IN FREQUENT
GUSTS ABOVE 34 KNOTS. NO CHANGES TO CURRENT SCA HEADLINES FOR COASTAL
WATERS AS 20-25 KNOT WINDS WITH SEAS 5 TO 7 FEET WILL PERSIST
SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD DIMINISH
