AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
327 AM EST TUE DEC 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE
WEDNESDAY AND CROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
VERY WIDELY SCTD LIGHT SHOWERS CONTINUE MOVING NORTH ALONG THE
OUTER BANKS THIS MORNING. TROF ALONG THE COAST IS WEAKENING AS A
DEEPER S/SW FLOW OVERTAKES THE AREA SO EXPECT COVERAGE WILL
DIMINISH WHILE AFFECTING ONLY COASTAL AREAS OVERNIGHT.

SKIES ARE CLEARING OVER INLAND AREAS EARLY THIS MORNING AND THIS
WILL LEAD TO PATCHY FOG WHICH WILL BE DENSE IN SPOTS. HAVE ADDED
PATCHY FOG TO GRIDS FOR NOW AND WILL MONITOR FOR PSBL SPS/NPW
ISSUANCES AS CONDITIONS WARRANT. FOR NOW EXPECT WIDESPREAD DENSE
FOG NOT LIKELY GIVEN A LIGHT SOUTH FLOW OVER THE AREA.

FOG WILL DISSIPATE WITHIN A FEW HOURS OF SUNRISE AS MIXING INCREASES
IN A DEEPENING SSW FLOW BY MID MORNING. DESPITE PARTIAL CLOUD
COVER...TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE UNSEASONABLY MILD IN THE WAA
REGIME AND CUD CHALLEGE A RECORD HIGH AT EWN (76F IN 2001). HIGHS
WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 70-75F RANGE THROUGHOUT. OTHER THAN AN
ISOLD SHOWER MAINLY FOR COASTAL AREAS THIS MORNING...EXPECT LITTLE
IF ANY PCPN TODAY GIVEN THE LACK OF TRIGGER/WEAK DYNAMIC FORCING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
MAY SEE A FEW SHOWERS DEEP INLAND TONIGHT ON THE PERIPHERY OF
LARGE SCALE DOWNSTREAM DEEP TROF BUT EXPECT BULK OF THE ACTIVITY
WILL REMAIN WEST OF TEH AREA OVERNIGHT. WARM MIXED BNDRY LAYER
YIELDS LOW TEMPS MOSTLY IN UPPER 50S. LIGHT WINDS SHUD KEEP MOST
FOG AT BAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM TUE...OPERATIONAL MODELS COMING INTO GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THE TIMING OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. AT 12Z WED THE SFC FRONT IS
PROGGED TO BE ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS WHICH IS FORECAST TO PUSH TO
JUST W OF THE CWA BY 00Z THU. MEANWHILE...A SHARP MID LEVEL TROUGH
PUSHING INTO THE DEEP SOUTH WITH A STRONG SW/NE ORIENTED JET IN
PLACE ACROSS THE EAST COAST WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BEING
TRANSPORTED FROM THE DEEP SOUTH TO THE MID ATLANTIC. WE'LL
CONTINUE TO BE IN THE WARM SECTOR WED WITH BREEZY SWLY FLOW BRINGS
HIGHS IN THE U60S/L70S. PCPN CHANCES INCREASING FROM THE WEST AS
THE FRONT APPROACHES AND UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS INCREASES. BEST
FORCING THROUGH THE DAY WILL BE OVER NWRN SECTIONS AND HAVE
HIGHEST POPS HERE. THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH WILL LIFT ACROSS THE
REGION LATE WED/WED NIGHT WITH A SFC LOW TRACKING ALONG THE FRONT
JUST AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT PLACING THE LOW
JUST OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST BY 06Z THU AND THE SFC FRONT OFF
THE NC COAST. HAVE HIGHEST POPS...CATEGORICAL NW AND LIKELY

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SKIES CLEARING OVER THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS MORNING AND HAVE

EXPECT MUCH IMPROVEMENT THRU DAWN BUT MIXING IN A DEEPENING S/SW
FLOW WILL RESULT IN VFR CONDITIONS BY MID MORNING AND PERSIST
THROUGH TUE EVENING. EXPECTING MORE STRATUS THAN FOG TUE NIGHT
GIVEN LIGHT BUT MOIST LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW. SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL
LIKELY BECOME PREVALENT IN THE PREDAWN HOURS WED.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

WED NIGHT WITH A VERY MOIST LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE
FRONTAL SYSTEM/LOW DEVELOPMENT WED EVENING/NIGHT. EXPECT LOW
STRATUS WED MORNING UNDER MOIST SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND 5-8 KT. LOW
STRATUS SHOULD MIX OUT AFTER SUNRISE WED MORNING. CLOUDS AND
PRECIP WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST WED AFTERNOON ASSOCIATED
WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CROSSING THE REGION FROM THE WEST.
HEAVIEST PRECIP AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES/CEILINGS WILL BE AT THEIR
WORST WED EVENING THROUGH THEN IMPROVE QUICKLY EARLY THURS MORNING
FROM WEST TO EAST. SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT/LOW WILL
VEER SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE NEAR 15 KNOTS...THEN VEER NORTHWEST

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LIGHT E/SE WINDS EARLY THIS MORNING WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY AND
INCREASE TODAY AS A WEAK COASTAL TROF DISSIPATES ALLOWING THE LARGE
SCALE SSW FLOW AHEAD OF DEEP TROF OVER THE CENTRAL STATES TO TAKE
OVER. S/SW FLOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT WITH SPEEDS MAINLY 15 KT OR
LESS. 3-5FT SEAS WILL BE MAINTAINED THRU TONIGHT.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE WATERS FROM THE W
WED WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRES DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT ACROSS THE
SE WED AFTERNOON. THE LOW QUICKLY PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA WED
EVENING...TO OFF THE DELMARVA BY LATE WED NIGHT. EXPECT WINDS AND
SEAS TO BUILD TO SCA LEVELS WED AS GRADIENTS TIGHTEN INCREASING
SOUTHWEST WINDS TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS WED...THEN TO 20-30 KT WED
EVENING JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT/SFC LOW...SOME MODELS BRING A
SHORT PERIOD OF NEAR GALE FORCE CONDITIONS THIS PERIOD.
SWAN/WAVEWATCH BUILD SEAS TO 7-10 FT WED NIGHT WHICH THEN
GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THU/THU NIGHT AS NWLY FLOW DIMINISHES WITH HIGH
PRES BUILDING INTO THE REGION. STILL LOOKS LIKE CONDITIONS DROP
BELOW SCA LEVELS BY 12Z FRI. GFS/ECMWF BOTH DEVELOP A STATIONARY
BOUNDARY OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST SAT INTO SUN...WHICH WHEN
COUPLED WITH RIDGING INLAND WILL CREATE A TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE WATERS. EXPECT WINDS AND SEAS TO APPROACH SCA
LEVELS SAT AFTERNOON INTO SAT NIGHT.
