AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
1243 PM EST SAT JAN 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA FROM THE WEST THROUGH
SUNDAY. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE LINGERING COLD FRONT WILL
PASS WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FURTHER
NORTH MONDAY AS SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPS OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTH ALONG THE COAST LATE TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 9 AM SAT...FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE THIS MORNING WITH NO SIG
CHANGES NEEDED. A ROBUST UPPER TROUGH IS DIGGING INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES THIS MORNING WITH LOW PRES OFF THE FL/GA
COAST...ROUGHLY 200 MI E OF JAX. THE LOW WILL TRACK NEWD TODAY AS
THE SHORTWAVE PUSHES EWD...AND MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LOW
PASSING ABOUT 200 MI S OF THE SRN OBX LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. MOISTURE CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH OF THE LOW CENTER WITH
RADAR NOW SHOWING VERY LIGHT SNOW BEGINNING ALONG THE NC COAST. WILL
LEAVE ALL CURRENT WINTER WX ADVISORY HEADLINES INTACT.

THERMAL PROFILES REMAIN COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW THROUGHOUT ERN NC FOR
THE EVENT ALTHOUGH STILL EXPECTING A SHARP GRADIENT IN THE PCPN
SHIELD WITH MOST OF THE SNOW FALLING ACROSS COASTAL SECTIONS S OF
OREGON INLET. MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND HIGHER WITH QPF AMOUNTS ACROSS
THE REGION AND HAVE INCREASED SNOW TOTALS TO AROUND 2" NEAR THE
COAST. MODELS HAVE ALSO EXPANDED THE SNOW INLAND SLIGHTLY AND NOW
THINK WE COULD SEE UP TO AN INCH ACROSS PARTS OF ONSLOW
COUNTY...MAINLY ALONG THE COAST FROM SWANSBORO/HUBERT AREA TO SNEADS
FERRY...AND CRAVEN COUNTY IN THE HAVELOCK TO HARLOWE AREA AND HAVE
ADDED THESE TWO COUNTIES TO THE ADVISORY. USED A BLEND OF HPC
QPF/ECMWF/GFS AND NAM AND HPC GUIDANCE SNOW RATIO AROUND 10-12:1 TO
ACHIEVE CURRENT SNOW AMOUNTS UP TO 2 INCHES. HOWEVER...IT IS STILL
IN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY FOR HIGHER SNOW TOTALS RIGHT ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST S OF OREGON INLET...INCLUDING PARTS OF DOWN EAST
CARTERET COUNTY AS THE MOST ROBUST MODELS INDICATING UP TO A HALF
INCH LIQUID EQUIVALENT RIGHT ALONG THE COAST. WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT
SNOW TOTALS TO AROUND 2" AT THE MOST BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
POSSIBLE HIGHER AMOUNTS AS THIS SYSTEM IS STILL CONTINUING TO EVOLVE.

TEMPS EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE M/U30S TODAY. WENT BELOW GUIDANCE
FOR SRN COASTAL AREAS AND EXPECT HIGHS IN THE M30S BEFORE THE
SNOWFALL RATE INCREASES. ONCE STEADIER SNOWFALL BEGINS LATER THIS
MORNING AND ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON EXPECT TEMPS NEAR THE COAST TO
HOLD AROUND FREEZING AND FOLLOWED AN ATYPICAL TEMPERATURE CURVE HERE
TODAY.

THE LOW WILL QUICKLY PUSH WELL E OF THE REGION THIS EVENING AND
EXPECT SNOWFALL TO END THROUGH THE EVENING...MOVING E OF HATTERAS BY
LATE EVENING WITH CLEARING SKIES ACROSS ERN NC. ANOTHER FRIGID NIGHT
TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER TEENS/L20S INLAND TO M20S COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 4 AM SAT...HIGH PRES WILL RIDGE INTO THE REGION FROM THE N
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. MAINLY SUNNY SKIES EXPECTED TO START ON
SUNDAY BUT WILL SEE INCREASING CLOUDS LATE SUN/SUN NIGHT IN
ADVANCE OF THE NEXT SYSTEM PROGGED TO IMPACT THE AREAS NEXT WEEK.
CONTINUED BELOW NORMAL TEMPS WITH HIGHS SUN IN THE L/M40S. WENT
WELL BELOW GUIDANCE ALONG THE SRN COASTAL AREAS WHERE EXPECTING
SNOW COVER TO LIMIT INSOLATION AND HAVE HIGHS IN THE U30S. LOWS
SUN NIGHT EXPECTED IN THE L/M20S INLAND TO U20S COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 4 AM SAT...MADE VERY LITTLE CHANGES IN THE LONG TERM AS
CONCENTRATING ON NEAR TERM SNOW POTENTIAL. DID ADJUST PCPN TRENDS
SLIGHTLY MON AND MON NIGHT AS MODELS SLOWER TO INITIATE PCPN
ACROSS THE REGION. THINK BEST CHANCE FOR PCPN MON/MON NIGHT WILL
MAINLY BE INVOF A COASTAL TROUGH ALONG THE COAST WITH LITTLE IF
ANY PCPN ACROSS INLAND SECTIONS. WHILE THERMAL PROFILES APPEAR
COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A WINTRY MIX MON MORNING...DOUBT WE'LL SEE
ANY PCPN FALLING UNTIL MON AFTERNOON AT THE EARLIEST AND BY THEN
THE PROFILES ARE WARMING AND EXPECT MAINLY RAIN. THE BULK OF THE
PCPN EXPECTED TO HOLD OFF UNTIL TUE AFTN THROUGH WED MORNING AS AN
AREA OF LOW PRES TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MODELS COMING INTO SLIGHTLY BETTER AGREEMENT
FOR NEXT WEEK...THOUGH THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY
WITH UNSETTLED PERIOD. SFC TROUGH DEVELOPS ALONG THE SE COAST MON.
DID DECREASE POPS SLIGHTLY FOR MON INTO MON NIGHT...WITH BEST
CHANCES ALONG THE COAST. THOUGH THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF
UNCERTAINTY LATEST THERMAL PROFILES LOOKED COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW
EARLY MON INLAND WARMING UP AND TRANSITIONING TO LIGHT RAIN MON
AFTN/EVE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. LOW PRESSURE IN THE GULF
OF MEXICO TUE WILL MOVE NE THROUGH THE AREA TUE NIGHT INTO EARLY
WED. GFS CONTINUES TO BE FASTER THAN ECMWF WITH LOW PRESSURE
MOVING ALONG THE COAST. TRENDED CLOSER TO HPC WITH THIS SYSTEM.
CONTINUE WITH BEST RAIN CHANCES TUE AND TUE NIGHT...DID NOT GO TO
LIKELY AT THIS TIME GIVEN CONTINUE UNCERTAINTY. PRECIP WILL TAPER
OFF FROM S-N WED AS STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE MOVE NNE. IF FUTURE
MODEL TRENDS REMAIN CONSISTENT WILL LIKELY BE CONTINUING TO LOWER
POPS FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. SLIGHT WARMING TREND THROUGH THE
WEEK AS HIGH BUILDS IN FROM THE W.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM SATURDAY...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD...WITH EXCEPTION AT KEWN/KOAJ.

LOW PRESSURE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST WILL MOVE NE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON...DIMINISHING
LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. SNOW IS CURRENTLY FALLING IN MOST
LOCATIONS ALONG THE COAST WHICH WILL PUSH SLIGHTLY WEST THIS
AFTERNOON...IMPACTING KEWN AND KOAJ. AT KEWN/KOAJ...VSBYS/CIGS WILL DROP
INTO MVFR/IFR CRITERIA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON (18Z-21Z) AS HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION FALLS...HOWEVER EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REBOUND QUICKLY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL CONTINUE OUT OF THE NE GUSTING 15
TO 20KTS. AS THE SYSTEM EXITS THE REGION...EXPECT WINDS TO SUBSIDE
AND SKIES TO QUICKLY CLEAR OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL BACK TO THE NW
AROUND 5 TO 8KTS. MID/UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO FILTER INTO
THE REGION FROM THE WEST SUNDAY MORNING IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE AREA.

BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION
MONDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM PROGGED TO IMPACT THE AREA
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
AS OF 830 AM SATURDAY...DID A QUICK UPDATE TO INCREASE WINDS A BIT
ALONG THE CST PER CURRENT CONDITIONS AND LATEST MDLS. LOOKS LIKE
ALL WTRS WILL SEE AT LEAST 20 TO 25 KTS TODAY SO ADDED ALBEMARLE
SOUND TO SCA. ALSO HAVE 25 TO 30 KT WINDS FOR CNTRL WTRS WHERE SOME
WARM WTR IS WITHIN 20 MILES PER WTR TEMP OF 69 AT BUOY 41025.

PREV DISC...MADE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE MARINE WARNINGS. SCA WILL
BE IN EFFECT ON ALL COASTAL WATERS TODAY INTO TONIGHT AS LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA IN RESPONSE TO DEEP
MID-LEVEL TROUGH AND STRONG VORTICITY ADVECTION OFF THE SOUTHEAST
COAST. NORTH WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS WILL DEVELOP ON THE COASTAL
WATERS THIS MORNING AND CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. WILL MONITOR THE
SOUNDS THIS MORNING AS WINDS ARE BECOMING MARGINAL ON SCA THERE AND
MAY NEED TO ADD THE SOUNDS TO THE SCA LATER THIS MORNING.

SEAS WILL BUILD TO AS HIGH AS 7 TO 8 FEET...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
OUTER PORTIONS OF THE MARINE ZONES TODAY AND TONIGHT. WAVEWATCH
INITIALIZED THE SEAS BETTER THAN THE LOCAL SWAN MODEL AND WAS
USED FOR THE SEAS FORECAST. WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE
REGION BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW...WINDS/SEAS SUBSIDE SUNDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE ANOTHER DEEP MID-LEVEL TROUGH INDUCES
SEVERAL AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN CAROLINAS TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WITH SCA CONDITIONS LIKELY BY EARLY WEDS AS
SURFACE LOW CONSOLIDATES AND STRENGTHENS NORTH OF THE COASTAL
WATERS.
