AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
144 PM EDT SUN MAR 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN APPROACHING UPPER LOW FROM THE WEST MAY BRING HAIL SHOWERS AND A
FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DRIER AND COOLER
CONDITIONS WILL SETTLE IN MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES. A BRIEF WARMING TREND WILL ENSUE DURING THE
MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 120 PM SUNDAY...A PROMINENT COLD POOL ALOFT WILL TRAVERSE THE
COUNTY WARNING AREA THROUGH PEAK HEATING INTO EARLY EVENING. 500MB
TEMPS STILL SLATED TO DIP BETWEEN -20 AND -22 DEGREES CELSIUS DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON. THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES SHOW A "FAT CAPE" AREA
WITHIN THE 0 TO -20 DEG ZONE SUPPORTIVE OF EFFICIENT HAIL GROWTH.
SPC HAS PAINTED A SLIGHT RISK AREA THAT ENCOMPASSES MUCH OF OUR NC
ZONES. FREEZING LEVELS WILL DIP BELOW 8000 FEET BY LATE AFTERNOON AS
THE COLD POOL HEART MOVES OVERHEAD. LOCAL CALCULATIONS SUGGEST 50
DBZ UPDRAFT CORES TO 19000 FEET MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO GENERATE 1 INCH
HAIL. STORM MOTION FIELDS DECELERATE AS THE UPPER LOW CENTER
NEARS...MOVING FROM A NW DIRECTION AS THE LOW CENTER OVERHEAD
PASSES. SPAWNING CUMULUS WILL OBSCURE MUCH OF THE SKY DURING THE
AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH A FEW BREAKS OF SUNSHINE WILL BE SEEN SINCE
VERTICAL MOTIONS WILL REMAIN VIGOROUS. COLUMN WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
BENEATH THE UPPER LOW...BUT LOCALIZED WIND GUSTS DUE TO EVAPORATIVE
COOLING PROCESSES...FRICTIONAL RAIN/HAIL DRAG...OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
MAY INDUCE ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE THROUGH EARLY EVENING GIVEN THE HIGH
LAPSE RATES/LARGE CAPE AREAS. DIURNAL COOLING MAY REMOVE CONVECTIVE
INTENSITY AT NIGHTFALL BUT WE WILL NEED TO KEEP MENTIONABLE POP
VALUES IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST THE EVENING HOURS AS THE SYSTEM
PULLS AWAY AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE LINGERS...CLEARING NE ZONES
LAST...AND LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1:20 PM SUNDAY...MID LEVEL AMPLITUDE WILL RELAX THROUGH THE PERIOD
ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO THE PATTERN WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST FEW
DAYS. FOCUS SHIFTS FROM THUNDERSTORMS AND INSTABILITY TO WHAT IS
BECOMING AN INTERESTING TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING.

EARLY ON...A BROAD NORTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF A
SURFACE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS WITH THE MID LEVEL LOW. A SECONDARY
SURGE OF COOLER AIR ARRIVES AROUND 0600 UTC TUESDAY. THE SURFACE
HIGH MOVES FROM THE NORTHEAST TO ESSENTIALLY OVERHEAD EARLY
WEDNESDAY. NO POPS OR EVEN LITTLE CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED THROUGH
THE PERIOD.

THE NAM/MET GUIDANCE IS CONSIDERABLY COOLER WITH 38 DEGREES IN
LUMBERTON AND 44 WITH THE MAV FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING. IT APPEARS THE
GFS HAS SOME HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS FROM THE NORTHWEST
THAT MAY KEEP IDEAL RADIATIONAL CONDITIONS FROM DEVELOPING. HAVE
TRIMMED BACK LOWS A BIT BUT OVERALL FORECAST CONTINUES TO LEAN
HEAVILY TOWARD THE MAV/GFS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1:20 PM SUNDAY...LOW AMPLITUDE MID LEVEL FLOW ON WEDNESDAY WITH
THE CAROLINAS ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF A BELT OF WESTERLIES WHILE
HIGH PRESSURE SITS OFF THE COAST. TEMPS BOUNCE BACK TO NORMAL AND
CLOUD COVER SHOULD BE MINIMAL. MID LEVEL FLOW VEERS ON THURSDAY IN
RESPONSE TO CONGEALING LOWS OFF CANADIAN MARITIMES AND A LARGELY
MOISTURE-STARVED FRONT MANAGES TO PUSH THROUGH LATE IN THE DAY BUT
NOT BEFORE A WARM AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS NEAR 80. FASTER TIMING OF THE
FRONT IS POSSIBLE HOWEVER WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY LIMIT THE WARMTH AND
COULD FAVOR A FEW TSTMS IF FROPA BETTER COINCIDES WITH PEAK HEATING.
GUIDANCE AT ODDS WITH THE EXTENT OF BUILDING PRESSURES AND COLD AIR
ADVECTION INTO THE CAROLINAS WITH RAMIFICATIONS RANGING FROM A
RETURN TO CLIMO TEMPS TO DEVIATIONS BELOW CLIMO. EITHER WAY THIS
HIGH APPEARS FATED TO WEAKEN AND MOVE OFF THE COAST FOR THE WEEKEND
FAVORING A RETURN OF AT LEAST CLIMO TEMPERATURES. ISOLATED
CONVECTION BORNE OF MESOSCALE PROCESSES CERTAINLY HARD TO RULE OUT
BUT NO WIDESPREAD SYNOPTIC FORCING IS EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...AN ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CENTERED JUST EAST OF
KCLT AND IT WILL SLOWLY SHIFT DIRECTLY OVER THE TAF SITES BY 00 UTC.
WITH THE VERY COOL TEMPERATURES ALOFT CONVECTION IS ALREADY ONGOING
AND WITH THE STEEP LAPSE RATES SMALL HAIL WITH ISOLATED 1 INCH HAIL
IS POSSIBLE.

OVERNIGHT AS LOW EXITS WIND SPEEDS APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH OVERNIGHT TO
SUPPORT STRATUS. AFTER SUNRISE CONSIDERABLE DRYING IS EXPECTED AND
SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT WITH WINDS WILL INCREASING FROM THE NORTH WITH
SPEEDS AROUND 12 KNOTS WITH GUST AOB 20 KNOTS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...OTHERWISE VFR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. POSSIBLE
MORNING FOG THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 120 PM SUNDAY...NO ADVISORIES OR CAUTION STATEMENTS IN PLACE
AS WINDS REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS OUTSIDE OF TSTMS. DEVELOPED SE
WAVES OF 3-4 FEET IN 7-8 SECOND INTERVALS WILL PREVAIL INTO TONIGHT.
A SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE OVER CAPE HATTERAS THIS EVENING. THIS WILL
BRING VEERING WINDS FROM SW TO W THEN NW TONIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW
PULLS OFFSHORE OF THE OUTER BANKS OF NC. NW WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE DEPARTING SURFACE LOW COULD APPROACH 20 KNOTS LATE TONIGHT INTO
EARLY MONDAY...AND A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT MAY BE REQUIRED. MARINERS
SHOULD REFER TO RADAR TRENDS IF HEADING OUT TODAY OR TONIGHT. AN
UPPER LOW MOVING EAST OVER THE WATERS COULD GENERATE TSTMS AND
PERIODS OF HAIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...AND WILL BE
CAPABLE OF GENERATING LOCALIZED AND STRONG WIND GUSTS. THIS IN TURN
WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HIGHER WIND-WAVES AND CHOP. BY DAYBREAK
MONDAY...NW WINDS 15-20 KNOTS SHOULD BE EXPECTED WITH 2-4 FOOT SEAS
AND HIGHEST OFFSHORE.

SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1:20 PM SUNDAY...SOME STRONG WINDS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
PERIOD AS A SURFACE TROUGH WILL BE MOVING OFFSHORE. EXPECT A
NORTHERLY FLOW AT 20-25 KNOTS. GRADIENT DECREASES SLOWLY DURING THE
DAY ONLY TO INCREASE ONCE AGAIN AROUND 0600 UTC TUESDAY AS A
SECONDARY FRONT/SURGE MOVES ACROSS. WINDS TURN MORE NORTHEAST AND
INCREASE ONCE AGAIN TO A RANGE OF 20-25 KNOTS. GRADIENT DIMINISHES
DRAMATICALLY LATE TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY AS THE CENTER OF HIGH
PRESSURE;RE MOVES FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO BASICALLY OVERHEAD. WINDS
STAY JUST BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA EARLY MONDAY AND AGAIN EARLY
TUESDAY. SEAS MAY ECLIPSE SIX FEET BRIEFLY TUESDAY BUT WILL NOT
ISSUE A HEADLINE AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE MARGINAL NATURE AND TIME
CONSIDERATIONS. SEAS FOLLOW THE WINDS TUESDAY DECREASING
DRAMATICALLY.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 1:20 PM SUNDAY...BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE TO BRING A SOUTHWESTERLY
WIND WEDNESDAY THAT MAY VEER WITH THE APPROACH/DEVELOPMENT OF SOME
WEAK PIEDMONT TROUGHINESS. THIS MAY ALSO LEAD TO JUST ENOUGH OF AN
UPTICK OF CONDITIONS THAT CAUTIONARY HEADLINES ARE NEEDED. THESE
FACTORS REMAIN IN PLACE ON THURSDAY WHILE A COLD FRONT WHOSE TIMING
IS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN APPROACHES FROM THE NNW. THE APPROACH OF THIS
BOUNDARY MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL VEERING THROUGH THURSDAY DEPENDING ON
ITS SPEED AND TIME OF ARRIVAL. ASSUMING A THURSDAY EVENING FROPA A
TURN TO A MORE NORTHERLY DIRECTION IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY AND THE
SURGE BEHIND THE FRONT ALSO WILL BE QUESTIONABLE...IN STRENGTH. THIS
WILL END UP DICTATING WHETHER FRIDAY SEES A SLIGHT DETERIORATION IN
WIND AND SEAS OR AN ACTUAL IMPROVEMENT OVER THURSDAY SHOULD THE
WEAKER SOLUTIONS PAN OUT.
