AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
240 PM EDT SUN SEP 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH TONIGHT. A
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST MONDAY. THE FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY...THEN REMAIN STATIONARY
BEFORE DRIFTING NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE FROM THE
REMNANTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE LEE TO THE SOUTH WILL STREAM
NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT INTO THE REGION MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS ON THE TRACK OF
TROPICAL CYCLONE KATIA AND ITS POTENTIAL THREATS TO THE UNITED
STATES EAST COAST LATE IN THE WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND. PLEASE
SEE THE LATEST FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT. SOME CUMULUS AROUND 4 KFT
DEVELOPED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL REMAIN SHALLOW AS
SOUNDINGS INDICATE SIGNIFICANT DRYING ABOVE 850 HPA. HIGH CLOUDS
FROM TROPICAL STORM LEE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL
SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT...WHICH
COUPLED WITH LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD INHIBIT FOG FORMATION. EXPECT
LOW STRATUS TO DEVELOP LATE NIGHT GIVEN MOIST LOW LEVELS AND LIGHT
SOUTHERLY FLOW. TEMPS OVERNIGHT WILL FALL INTO THE MID TO UPPER
60S...WARMER THAN THE PAST FEW NIGHTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY...CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES MONDAY. NO CHANGE IN PRECIP TIMING WITH THIS
PACKAGE...STILL EXPECT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN SOUTHWEST PORTIONS
INCREASING TO CHANCE POPS FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY AS
FRONT BOUNDARY PUSHES TOWARDS THE REGION. MOIST TROPICAL AIRMASS
WILL STREAM NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION FROM TROPICAL STORM LEE
ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. KEPT MENTION OF THUNDER
AS ISOLATED UNTIL MONDAY AFTERNOON AS THE COLUMN WARMS. LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES WILL BE SLIGHTLY WARMER MONDAY...1415 TO 1420
METERS...HOWEVER CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMP FROM WARMING MUCH ABOVE THE
MID 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 105 PM SUNDAY...LONGER RANGE MODELS IN FAIRLY DECENT AGREEMENT
WITH THE HANDLING OF THE REMNANTS OF LEE OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO.
THE ECMWF IS A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH WITH LEE AND SREF IS THE WEAKEST
DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK. DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING
FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE WESTERN GULF. ASSOCIATED SURFACE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DROP INTO THE AREA TUESDAY. THIS WILL TAP THE
LOW LEVEL GULF MOISTURE AHEAD OF LEE. THE FRONT WILL PICK UP LEE AND
PULL IT TOWARD THE AREA. LEE WILL WEAKEN AS IT DRIFTS SLOWLY
NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. HOWEVER LOW LEVEL TAP OF
GULF MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR SOME HEAVY RAINS THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEK WITH CONTINUED PRECIP WATER AROUND 2.5 INCHES.

REMNANTS OF LEE APPEAR TO FIZZLE OUT OR GET ABSORBED BY MID WEEK AS
ATTENTION TURNS TO KATIA. OFFICIAL TRACK KEEPS IT WELL EAST OF AREA.
HOWEVER ERROR CONE BRUSHES NC. TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND
PROBABILITIES ARE INCREASED OVER AREA. HAVE UPPED WINDS TO ACCOUNT
FOR HIGHER PROBABILITY OF STRONGER WINDS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND MONDAY/...
AS OF 225 PM SUNDAY...EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL OF THE REGION. NO
ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. OVERNIGHT
WILL SEE INCREASING CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH MOISTURE STREAMING
NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE REGION FROM THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM
LEE WHICH SHOULD INHIBIT RADIATIONAL COOLING AND FOG FORMATION.
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS LOW STRATUS FORMATION AFTER AROUND 08Z DUE TO
MOIST LOW LEVELS AND LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW...HOWEVER THINK AVIATION
CONDITIONS WILL FALL TO ONLY MVFR AT WORST.

CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL BE ON THE INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST
MONDAY AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES EAST TOWARDS EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA. EXPECT MOSTLY VFR/MVFR MONDAY AFTERNOON HOWEVER
UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS AS TO EXACT TIMING OF PRECIP ACROSS TAF SITES.

/LONG TERM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 105 PM SUNDAY...EXTENDED PERIOD OF MVFR AND IFR LIKELY THROUGH
THE PERIOD AS REMNANTS OF LEE CURRENTLY IN THE GULF OF MEXICO MOVE
NORTH. TAP OF GULF MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH LEE WILL LOWER CLOUDS
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS IT MOVES NORTH ALONG SURFACE BOUNDARY THAT
WILL TRY TO DROP INTO AREA TUESDAY. THIS BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO
STALL OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.. VIS WILL ALSO LOWER IN
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY...LATEST SURFACE AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS
INDICATE LIGHT EASTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH LONG PERIOD SEAS 2 TO 4 FT. AN ASCAT SATELLITE
WINDS PASS AT 1441Z INDICATED EAST WINDS AROUND 5 KNOTS FOR THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WATERS...WITH CALM WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN
WATERS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OVERNIGHT.

SWELL FROM TROPICAL CYCLONE KATIA WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA AND
BEGIN TO BUILD LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. 8-9 SECOND PERIODICITIES WILL
INCREASE TO 14-16 SECONDS AS THE NEW SWELL ARRIVES AND WILL ACT TO
ENHANCE THE RIP CURRENT WELL INTO THE UPCOMING WEEK. COMBINED SEAS
WILL REMAIN 3-5 FT TONIGHT THEN BUILD ABOVE 6 FT FOR THE OUTER
WATERS MONDAY. THUS...WILL ISSUE SCAS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FROM
OREGON INLET SOUTH STARTING MONDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL REMAIN
LIGHT TONIGHT THEN BECOME SOUTH MONDAY AND INCREASE TO 10 TO 15
KNOTS.

/LONG TERM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 105 PM SUNDAY...LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE WATERS AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD IN ADVANCE OF APPROACHING SURFACE
BOUNDARY. WILL HAVE SPEEDS UP TO AROUND 20 KNOTS ON TUESDAY IN
ADVANCE OF THE BOUNDARY. GRADIENT WILL LOOSEN SOMEWHAT DURING THE
DAY TUESDAY AS THE FRONT STALLS JUST WEST OF THE WATERS...ALLOWING
SURFACE WIND SPEEDS TO DROP TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS. REMNANTS OF LEE IN
THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL BE PULLED NORTHWARD DURING THE FIRST PART OF
THE WEEK ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. BUT LEE APPEARS TO STAY WELL
WEST OF THE WATERS. LONG PERIOD SWELLS WILL BE DOMINANT THROUGH MUCH
OF THE WEEK AS KATIA APPROACHES FROM THE EAST. OFFICIAL TRACK KEEPS
IT WELL EAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER SWELLS WILL INCREASE...AND WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP OVER THE WATERS THURSDAY AS KATIA MAKES IT
CLOSEST APPROACH. EFFECTS FROM KATIA WILL BE OVER THE WATERS INTO
THE WEEKEND. AT LEAST SCA WILL BE EFFECT THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.
