AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
1021 AM EDT MON MAY 23 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST THROUGH
CENTRAL EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS MORNING. ANOTHER WEAK AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN CENTERED SOUTHEAST OF THE
CAROLINAS THROUGH THIS WEEK WITH A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
LINGERING INLAND. A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY APPROACH THE AREA BY
LATE NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 10 AM MONDAY...WEAK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY
CENTERED ACROSS WESTERN CRAVEN AND BEAUFORT COUNTIES WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST-SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING. THESE STORMS HAVE
POSSESSED FREQUENT LIGHTNING AT TIMES BUT APPEAR TO REMAIN LOW
TOPPED AND THUS NO REPORTS OF HAIL OR DAMAGING WINDS. EXPECT THIS
SCENARIO TO CONTINUE WITH THESE WEAK STORMS THROUGH THIS MORNING
AS THE STORMS APPROACH THE PAMLICO SOUND. SKIES WILL IMPROVE TO
MOSTLY SUNNY BEHIND THE STORMS THROUGH MIDDAY...THEN CLOUDS WILL
BE ON THE INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST AS ANOTHER WEAK AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. NAM12 DOES NOT PICK UP ON THIS
WEAK VORTMAX...ALTHOUGH RUC12/HRRR ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
SHORTWAVE APPROACH FOR WESTERN ZONES AROUND 23Z...LASTING THROUGH
ABOUT 03/04Z BEFORE PUSHING OFFSHORE. THE STORM PREDICTION
CENTER'S LATEST CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK PLACES OUR NORTHWESTERN AND
NORTHERN ZONES IN THE SLIGHT RISK CATEGORY WITH ALL OTHER COUNTIES
IN GENERAL THUNDER RISK. BIGGEST THREAT REMAINS SMALL HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

MORNING UPDATE...MAINLY TWEAKED WX/POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR ONGOING
CONVECTION AND ITS PROPAGATION THROUGH THE CWA. BUMPED UP HOURLY
TEMPS AS THEY ARE RISING FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST...STILL
EXPECT UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S INLAND ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN
COUNTIES...WITH LOW TO MID 80S ALONG THE COAST AND OUTER BANKS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS...
AS OF 7 AM MONDAY...REPORT FROM IMET ON THE PAINS BAY FIRE INDICATES
SOME AREAS OF THICK SMOKE AND WILL ISSUE A SPS FOR REDUCED VSBYS
ON MAINLAND AND OUTER BANKS DARE COUNTIES.

AS OF 230 AM MONDAY...CONVECTION HAS MOVED STEADILY ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT TO EAST OF RALEIGH EARLY THIS MORNING. DESPITE RATHER
UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE...STORMS ARE STARTING TO LOSE STEAM AND
THINK THEY MAY JUST CLIP OUR FAR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES THROUGH 5
AM. THESE STORMS ARE IN ASSOCIATION WITH A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
CROSSING EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA AT THE PRESENT TIME. ANOTHER
RATHER STRONG SHORTWAVE IS POISED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATER
TODAY PER LATEST GFS AND LOCAL ARW. GIVEN HOT TEMPS AND UNSTABLE
AIRMASS...WILL HAVE A SMALL POP IN THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY
RANGING FROM 30 PCT NORTH TO 20 PCT SOUTH AS CANNOT RULE OUT AN
ISOLATED TSTM IN MOST ANY LOCATION LATER TODAY. MAX TEMPS TODAY
WILL RANGE FROM NEAR 80 ON THE OUTER BANKS TO NEAR 90 OVER THE FAR
SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES. AS SECONDARY SHORTWAVE CROSSES THE REGION
TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY...WILL KEEP LOW CHC POPS IN FOR EARLY
TONIGHT OVER MAINLY THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. A WARM MUGGY
NIGHT UPCOMING WITH MINS WITHIN A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 AM MONDAY...DRIER AND HOTTER CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON TUE
AS HTS BUILD AND 850MB TEMPS SOAR TO 20 DEGREES C. HEAT INDICES
WILL REACH THE 100 DEGREE MARK IN SOME INLAND LOCALES DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...DUE TO MAX T'S IN THE MID 90S AND TD VALUES WELL
INTO THE 60S. MORE SHORTWAVE ENERGY MAY SPARK A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
ON TUE EVENING IN FAST WEST TO EAST FLOW REGIME...AND INHERITED
SMALL POPS ACROSS NRN CWA LOOK REASONABLE.

WED WILL BE ANOTHER DRY AND HOT DAY...AS UPPER RIDGING DEVELOPS
FURTHER AND HTS RISE IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING MID CONUS CLOSED
LOW. HEAT INDICES WILL ONCE AGAIN REACH 100 ACROSS THE INLAND
COUNTIES OF E NC.

FOR THUR...MED AND LONG RANGE MODEL SUITE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON MID
CONUS CLOSED LOW OPENING UP AND SHEARING OUT TO THE NE...LEAVING
THE SE CONUS PRECIP FREE. CONTINUED HOT AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED
UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM MONDAY...KEPT SLGT CHANCE POPS IN THE FCST FOR THE
WEEKEND PER ANY LINGERING WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY REMAINING ACROSS
THE AREA... THOUGH MAJORITY OF FORCING WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF E
NC ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION SO PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE
MINIMAL. FOR SUN AND BEYOND...LONG RANGE MODELS HINTING AT
DEVELOPING DEEP SOUTH RIDGE AND CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WITH
DRY CONDITIONS... POTENTIALLY LEADING TO EXPANSION IN THE DROUGHT
CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
/SHORT TERM TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1015 AM MONDAY...MAINLY VFR ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING
EXCEPT FOR AREAS IN AND AROUND CONVECTION ACROSS CRAVEN AND
BEAUFORT COUNTIES. THESE WEAK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
PUSH OFF INTO THE PAMLICO SOUND AND WESTERN ATLANTIC BY 16-18Z.
EXPECT ANOTHER WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO CROSS THE REGION FROM
WEST TO EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON...FIRST IMPACTING PGV/ISO AROUND
23Z THEN OAJ/EWN BY 02Z BEFORE PUSHING OFFSHORE. CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY FALL TO MVFR/IFR FOR A BRIEF PERIOD IN
SCATTERED CONVECTION SO WILL INCLUDE CB IN TAFS FOR NOW.

/LONG TERM TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM MONDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR TUE...THOUGH
WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY OUT OF THE SW FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
DECOUPLING LOOKS LESS FAVORABLE FOR TUE NIGHT...SO FG/BR CHANCES
ARE LESSENED. COULD BE AN ISO THUNDERSHOWER FOR MAINLY KPGV TUE
NIGHT AS WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES THROUGH ON FAST WEST TO EAST
FLOW. BUILDING RIDGE FOR THUR AND FRI WILL SPELL DRY CONDITIONS
AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

&&

.MARINE...
/SHORT TERM TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1010 AM MONDAY...LATEST SURFACE AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS
INDICATE SOUTHERLY WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS...WITH SEAS GENERALLY 1 TO
3 FT. TWEAKED WAVES/SEAS TO ACCOUNT FOR OBSERVATIONS ALTHOUGH
EXPECT SEAS TO RANGE 3 TO 5 FT BY THIS AFTERNOON AS SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS RAMP UP TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS LATE. 11Z PASS OF GOES
SATELLITE WINDS INDICATED 15 KNOTS ABOUT 30 MILES OFF CORE
BANKS...WHICH MATCHES WELL WITH CURRENT FORECAST WINDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...AS OF 240 AM MONDAY...EXPECT SOUTHERLY
WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS TODAY TO INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS
TONIGHT AS GRADIENT BETWEEN STRONG 993 MB LOW OVER EASTERN CANADA
AND 1025 MB HIGH OFF THE CANADIAN MARITIMES INCREASES. LOCAL SWAN
MODEL AND WAVEWATCH INDICATES THAT WAVES SHOULD REMAIN AT OR BELOW
5 FEET THROUGH EARLY MORNING ON TUESDAY HOWEVER.

/LONG TERM TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM MONDAY...SCA HAS BEEN HOISTED FOR CENTRAL OUTER
WATERS...AS SW GRADIENT TIGHTENS ON TUE WITH WINDS REACHING THE 25
KT THRESHOLD AND WAVES BUILDING TO 6 FEET. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR
PAMLICO SOUND...AND CAPE LOOKOUT TO OCRACOKE ZONE FOR UPGRADE TO
SCA AS WIND CRITERIA WILL COME CLOSE TO 25 KT. BY WED GRADIENT
RELAXES AND SFC FLOW WILL BACK TO THE S AHEAD OF APPROACHING MID
CONUS CLOSED LOW. S FLOW EXPECTED THROUGH FRI AS TROUGH LIFTS
NORTH OF THE AREA AND UPPER RIDGING PERSISTS.

&&

.MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
