NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
359 PM EDT TUE JUL 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST WITH TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER LAND
AREAS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE AREA FRIDAY AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THROUGH
SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FRONT HE NORTH SUNDAY AND WILL
REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED NEAR SEA BREEZE
THIS AFTERNOON. WITH SOME UPPER LEVEL ENERGY THESE MAY CONTINUE FOR
A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET. CONTINUING SMALL CHANCES ELSEWHERE AS
UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING. AT THE
SURFACE...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SMOKE FROM PENDER
COUNTY FIRE INTO SOUTHERN CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 105 PM TUESDAY...BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA FROM THE EAST. UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME
MORE SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM NEW
ENGLAND THROUGH TENNESSEE. TROUGH WONT MOVE VERY MUCH DURING THE DAY
AS IT PUSHES AGAINST UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC. SURFACE
FLOW WILL REMAIN SOUTHWEST BETWEEN BERMUDA RIDGE AND WEAK FRONT
DRAPED FROM NEW ENGLAND THROUGH TEXAS. FRONT WONT MAKE MUCH
PROGRESS. ANY ENERGY WE GET WILL BE IN THE NORTH AND WEST SO WILL
HAVE HIGHEST POPS THOSE AREA...BUT WILL KEEP THEM IN THE 30 RANGE.
DECREASING POPS TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST UNDER INFLUENCE OF RIDGE. LOWER
THICKNESS WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S. SMOKE FROM
PENDER COUNTY FIRE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM INTO SOUTHERN COUNTIES
UNDER SOUTHWEST FLOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 356 PM TUESDAY...UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH AT
LEAST SATURDAY. AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL THROUGH SATURDAY AND NEAR TO SLIGHT ABOVE NORMAL
THEREAFTER...WHILE LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. BROAD TROUGHING WILL REMAIN OVER THE
EASTERN US AS THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE PERSISTS OVER THE WEST-
CENTRAL US AND UNDERGOES PERIODIC AMPLIFICATION. NUMEROUS WEAK
AMPLITUDE MID LEVEL PERTURBATIONS ARE APT TO ROTATE AROUND THE
UPPER RIDGE INTO THE EASTERN TROUGH. THESE DISTURBANCES WILL
INTERACT WITH A STUBBORN FRONTAL SYSTEM WHICH ALL THE GUIDANCE IS
FORECASTING TO STALL ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.
THE GUIDANCE IS FORECASTING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION ALONG THE
FRONT THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE DAY 5 QPF ISSUED BY HPC WAS
FORECASTING WIDESPREAD 2+" AMOUNTS ACROSS EASTERN NC BY 12Z
SUNDAY. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY RAINS...THERE WILL BE A THREAT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER ESPECIALLY ON DAYS WHEN STRONG HEATING
DEVELOPS. THE FRONT WILL EITHER MOVE JUST SOUTH OF OR DISSIPATE
OVER THE AREA SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. AT LEAST FOR NOW THE MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS ARE FORECASTING A DRIER AND WARMER PATTERN FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

SINCE TRYING TO TIME INDIVIDUAL PRECIPITATION EVENTS FAR OUT IN
TIME IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FORECAST...THE FORECAST FOR THE
PERIOD THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY WILL BE BOADBRUSHED WITH 40-50%
POPS CHARACTERIZED BY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WILL
INDICATE A MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN TYPICAL SUMMER PRECIPITATION
PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK IN LINE WITH THE LATEST HPC AND MEDIUM
RANGE GUIDANCE FORECASTS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
/SHORT TERM TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 150 PM TUE...A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE MID-
ATLANTIC IS HELPING TO INDUCE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW THIS AFTERNOON.
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WITH
MODERATE SURFACE INSTABILITY..ANTICIPATE DIURNAL CU TO CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE MAIN PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY
OCCURRING LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY TO THE
NORTH AND WEST WHERE THE A BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE.
HOWEVER...WITH SEA BREEZE...CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME CONVERGENCE
CLOSER TO THE COAST. SMOKE FROM THE FIRE IN PENDER COUNTY WILL
CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE TO THE NE WITH SOME SMOKE DISPERSING TO THE
NW THANKS TO THE SEA BREEZE SETTING UP ALONG THE COAST.
THEREFORE...KOAJ MAY HAVE REDUCED VISIBILITIES LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER FIRES TO THE WEST...IN BLADEN AND
CUMBERLAND COUNTIES THAT ARE ALSO AFFECTING TAF SITES AT KPGV AND
KISO. FEEL THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON..SO HAVE
REDUCED VSBYS TO SUB-VFR CRITERIA. ANY PRECIPITATION THAT FORMS
WILL SUBSIDE THIS EVENING GIVING WAY TO SOME SCATTERED CU. MODEL
GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT LOW STRATUS WITH SMOKE/HAZE WILL DEVELOP
LATE TONIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS
LESS THAN 2 DEGREES. WITH LACK OF MIXING TONIGHT...FEEL THE SMOKE
MAY SETTLE REDUCING VSBYS TO MVFR CRITERIA THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY. AFTER SUNRISE WITH ENOUGH MIXING...FEEL VSBYS WILL
INCREASE AND SCATTERED CU WILL QUICKLY DEVELOP WITH A BETTER
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ON WEDNESDAY.

/LONG TERM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 356 PM TUESDAY...SCATTERED TO OCCASIONALLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH REDUCED CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY AS A FRONT STALLS ACROSS THE REGION.
EARLY MORNING FOG WILL IS EXPECTED ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT
RECEIVE RAINFALL AND/OR ARE AFFECTED BY SMOKE FROM THE WILDFIRES.

&&

.MARINE...
/SHORT TERM THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 120 PM TUESDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON
RUNNING 10 TO 15 KNOTS. BERMUDA RIDGE TO THE EAST WITH TROUGHING TO
THE WEST. LITTLE TO NO CHANGE IN THE PATTERN OVER NEXT 24 HOURS SO
EXPECT SOUTHWEST FLOW AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE. SEAS 2-4
FEET. SATELLITE PICTURES SHOWING SOME SMOKE FROM FIRE IN PENDER
COUNTY MOVING OVER THE NEAR SHORE WATERS OF THE ONSLOW BAY. SO MAY
HAVE DECREASED VISIBILITIES IN THAT AREA.

/LONG TERM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 356 PM TUESDAY...S TO SW FLOW TO CONTINUE OVER THE WATERS
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE FLOW WILL BE ENHANCED TO 15 TO 20 KT FROM
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT STALLS
JUST TO THE WEST OF THE WATERS. THE SWAN AND WAVE WATCH MODELS ARE
FORECASTING 6 FT SEAS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL OUTER WATERS
BEGINNING WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND PERSISTING THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY.
SINCE THE MODELS HAVE A HAD A BIAS THIS SUMMER OF OVER FORECASTING
THE SW FLOW WILL CAP SEAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 5 FT THEN INCREASE TO
6 FT THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO PERSISTENCE. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AND
