AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
619 PM EDT SAT JUN 18 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN INLAND OVER EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH INTO THE
AREA FROM THE NORTH LATE SUNDAY...THEN STALL AND RETURN NORTH
TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND
WILL RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 630 PM SAT...ISOLATED CONVECTION CURRENTLY OVER THE FORECAST
AREA BUT A LONG CONVECTIVE LINE IS OVER THE MIDDLE PART OF THE
STATE AND MOVING RAPIDLY EAST. THE LINE HAS A HISTORY OF SEVERE
WEATHER OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE BUT LINE IS SLOWLY
WEAKENING WITH THE STRONGEST CELLS SHIFTING SOUTH INTO SOUTH
CAROLINA. THEREFORE AM NOT ANTICIPATING ANY SEVERE STORMS BUT
COULD BE SOME STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN ADVANCE OF THE STRONGER CELLS.
WILL CARRY 50 PERCENT SOUTHWEST WITH 40 PERCENT IN THE THE MIDDLE
OF THE FORECAST AREA AND 30 PERCENT COAST AND MARINE ZONES. ONCE
THIS ACTIVITY CLEARS THE AREA CONDITIONS LOOK DRY FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. LOW TEMPS LOOK FINE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
AS OF 340 PM SATURDAY...EAST-WEST ORIENTED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
PUSH INTO THE REGION SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING. QUESTIONABLE AS
TO HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT MAKES IT...BUT CONSENSUS OF MODELS HAS
IT GETTING TO ABOUT THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE CWA BEFORE
GRADUALLY STALLING AND DISSIPATING LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
FRONTAL CONVERGENCE SUNDAY/SUNDAY EVENING COUPLED WITH STRONG
INSTABILITY (LI'S IN THE -8 TO -10 RANGE AND CAPE VALUES OF 2000
TO 3000 J/KG) WILL LEAD TO A DECENT COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS.
SPC HAS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE FOR
SUNDAY. HAVE HIGH CHC POPS NORTH EARLY IN THE DAY WORKING SOUTH
TOWARD EVENING. QUITE A DIFFERENCE IN MOS TEMP GUIDANCE FOR SUNDAY
WITH GFS BEING WARMER GIVEN HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER RH IN THE NAM.
HAVE OPTED TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE WITH MOST AREAS IN THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 90S EXCEPT UPPER 80S IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SATURDAY...MOST CHALLENGING ASPECT OF FORECAST IS
DEALING WITH WEAK FRONT PUSHING SOUTH INTO THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOW AFF THE COAST. THE NAM SEEMED TO BE
AN OUTLIER IN DEVELOPING A SECOND STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR
THE COAST ON MONDAY. THIS SOLN WAS DROPPED FROM THE FCST AND
INSTEAD FOCUSED ON A BLEND OF GFS AND SREF. THE BEST CHANCE OF
RAIN THIS PERIOD WILL BE OVERNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT WITH SHRTWV ENERGY
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE CHANCE OF A
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM WILL LINGER INTO MONDAY AS WELL AS
CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW ON EXACT TIMING OF FRONT AND SHORTWAVES
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.

BEYOND MONDAY HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST MUCH OF THE WEEK
WITH AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE AREA. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL
REACH THE MID 100S ON TUESDAY AND POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY...STILL
REMAINING IN THE LOWER 100S ON THURSDAY.

THE UPPER RIDGE FINALLY STARTS TO BREAK DOWN SOME ON FRIDAY INTO
SAT AS AN UPPER TROF AND FRONT APPROACH FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL
BRING THE NEXT DECENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
/SHORT TERM TONIGHT AND SUNDAY/...
AS OF 630 PM SAT...ISOLATED ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT TERMINAL OAJ OVER
THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. LINE OF CONVECTION OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE
STATE WILL LIKELY AFFECT ALL 4 TERMINAL SITES THIS EVENING.

EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE BUT GUSTS 40-50 KNOTS POSSIBLE IN STRONGEST
CELLS.

PREV DISC...CANNOT TOTALLY RULE OUT SOME BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS IN
FOG/HAZE TOWARD MORNING...BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE IN
FORECAST AT THIS TIME. WILL INCLUDE CB IN THE TAFS STARTING AT
MID-MORNING ON SUNDAY AS SOME CONVECTION POSSIBLE ALONG EAST-WEST
ORIENTED FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING INTO ERN NC.

/LONG TERM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SAT...SUB-VFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN SCT CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY SUN NIGHT INTO MONDAY...THEN VFRI CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

WITH STRONGEST CELLS.

PREV DISC...HAVE INITIATED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE COASTAL
WATERS SOUTH OF OREGON INLET DOWN TO SURF CITY TO BEGIN AT 15Z
SUNDAY THROUGH 09Z MONDAY. WITH PIEDMONT TROUGH
SHARPENING...EXPECT SW WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS OVERNIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. THIS SHOULD HELP BUILD THE SEAS TO MINIMAL SCA LEVELS
DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHICH WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY MONDAY
MORNING. LOCAL SWAN MODEL HAS TRENDED A BIT HIGH LATELY AND WENT
CLOSER TO THE WAVEWATCH III...BUT EVEN IT SHOWS SOME 6 FOOT SEAS
DEVELOPING SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE PRIMARY AREA FOR
