AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
321 PM EDT THU APR 26 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL DIP INTO THE COASTAL CAROLINAS LATE TONIGHT...
STALLING FRIDAY...THEN LIFTING NORTH SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL
RETURN SOUTH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND FINALLY GET PUSHED OUT OF THE
AREA AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SURGES SOUTH ALONG THE ATLANTIC
COAST INTO MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...A STRONG UPPER DISTURBANCE IS PUSHING ACROSS
VIRGINIA AND NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON. ALONG THE FRONT
EDGE OF THIS DISTURBANCE THIS MORNING A SQUALL LINE CAME ROARING OUT
OF THE MOUNTAINS BUT DIED OUT AS IT CROSSED INTERSTATE 77. THE TAIL
END OF THIS UPPER DISTURBANCE HAS DEVELOPED A NEW CLUSTER OF
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON IN THE SC SANDHILLS BACK TO JUST SOUTH OF
CHARLOTTE. THESE NEW STORMS APPEARS TO BE LARGELY ELEVATED IN NATURE
ALTHOUGH THEY RISK BECOMING SURFACE-BASED AS THEY MOVE INTO A MORE
DEEPLY-MIXED REGION IN THE SC/NC COASTAL PLAIN WHERE DRY-ADIABATIC
LAPSE RATES EXIST FROM THE SURFACE UP THROUGH AT LEAST 5500 FT.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE STORMS MAY TRANSITION FROM LIGHTNING AND
HAIL TO DAMAGING WINDS. FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WE'RE FORECASTING
THIS BATCH OF STORMS TO AFFECT AREAS FROM BENNETTSVILLE AND DILLON
ACROSS SOUTHERN ROBESON COUNTY...PERHAPS MAKING IT INTO THE
WHITEVILLE AREA TOWARD 6 PM. POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO 50-80
PERCENT IN THIS REGION FROM 3-6 PM.

A SECOND UPPER DISTURBANCE IN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY IS EXPECTED TO
FOLLOW THIS EVENING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR FIRST DISTURBANCE.
CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS E TN INTO THE NC MOUNTAINS WILL
PUSH EAST AND INTO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CAROLINAS BY SUNSET. THE
LAST FEW HRRR RUNS SHOW THIS ACTIVITY MOVING EAST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 7 PM AND MIDNIGHT. POPS
IN THE 30-50 PERCENT RANGE ARE FORECAST ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE
FROM DARLINGTON...DILLON...WHITEVILLE AND BURGAW DURING THAT TIME
FRAME.

AFTER MIDNIGHT CONVECTION SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE AREA AND BREEZY
WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIE DOWN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES AND
THE BOUNDARY LAYER BECOMES MORE STABLE. BY DAYBREAK A SYNOPTIC COLD
FRONT WILL BE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR FROM THE NORTH. MODELS ARE NOT IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH PRECISELY HOW FAR SOUTH THE BOUNDARY MOVES. THE
GFS IS THE SOUTHERNMOST SOLUTION BUT DOESN'T SEEM TOO UNREASONABLE
GIVEN ALL THE CONVECTION EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NC
TONIGHT WHICH COULD HELP PUSH THE BOUNDARY SOUTH. LOWS ARE EXPECTED
TO RUN 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...RANGING FROM 60 INLAND TO THE MID
60S ON THE SC COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING DOWN FROM THE
NORTH THROUGH OUR AREA ON FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE STALLING OUT CLOSE
TO THE NC/SC BORDER BY AFTERNOON. THE SHORTWAVE DRIVING THIS FRONT
SHIFTS OFF SHORE BY MID MORNING LEAVING MORE IN THE WAY OF
SUBSIDENCE IN ITS WAKE. THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN BISECTING OUR CWA
THROUGH FRIDAY AND WILL REMAIN THE FOCAL POINT FOR PCP. IT LOOKS
LIKE THE BEST CHC OF SHWRS WILL BE IN THE MOISTURE RICH AIR TO THE
SOUTH OF THE FRONT FROM THE NC/SC BORDER TO CAPE FEAR AND SOUTH
OVER SC EARLIER AND MOVING NORTH LATER IN THE DAY. WITH
SUBSIDENCE PRESENT EARLIER IN THE DAY...THINK WE WILL SQUEEZE OUT
A DECENT MORNING OVER MOST AREAS BUT EXPECT CLOUDS AND SHWRS/TSTMS
IN VICINITY OF FRONT AND BETTER CHC LATER IN DAY INTO OVERNIGHT
HOURS AS NEXT SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH.

MID TO UPPER RIDGE ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON FRI WILL MOVE
EAST. FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE PARALLEL KEEPING FRONT IN THE
VICINITY THROUGH FRI BUT IT WILL MOVE BACK NORTH ON SATURDAY AS A
GENERAL W-SW FLOW DEVELOPS ALOFT AS SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH.
LATEST NAM AND GFS WERE A BIT SLOWER TO MOVE THIS BOUNDARY BACK
NORTH WHICH MAY KEEP CLOUDS AND POSSIBLE PCP IN FORECAST SAT
MORNING. THE SHALLOW COOL AIR WILL REMAIN INLAND AND NORTH WHILE
WARMER AIR PUSHES NORTH ALONG THE COAST INITIALLY. THIS
TROUGH/FRONT OVER AREA WILL MOVE NORTH SAT AFTERNOON BUT WILL GET
HELD UP ONCE AGAIN JUST NORTH OF OUR AREA BY SUNDAY MORNING.
OVERALL EXPECT A CLOUDIER AND WETTER SAT THAN IT LOOKED A FEW DAYS
BACK.

TEMPS WILL BE ANOTHER CHALLENGE. EXPECT HIGHS UP TO 10 DEGREES
COOLER TO THE NORTH VS SOUTH OF FRONT. FLORENCE AREA TO COASTAL SC
SHOULD BE IN THE MID 80S WHILE LUMBERTON AND THE NORTHERN TIER OF
CWA WILL SEE READINGS IN THE MID 70S. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN
WARMER WITH CLOUDS AND PCP PRESENT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...BACK DOOR COLD FRONT CROSSES SOUTH THROUGH
THE CWA SUNDAY. VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE HAS PROMPTED EVEN FURTHER REDUCTION FROM INHERITED
POP...WITH SCHC NOW CONFINED TO ONLY THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA.
IF THIS DRYING PATTERN CONTINUES...WILL LIKELY NEED TO REMOVE ANY
MENTION OF SHOWERS ALTOGETHER WITH LATER UPDATES. AS THIS FRONT
MOVES SOUTH...IT WILL RESTRICT MAX TEMPS TO ONLY THE MID 70S ACROSS
THE NORTH...WITH LOWER 80S LIKELY IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST WHERE FROPA
OCCURS LATER.

VERY SIGNIFICANT MODEL DIFFERENCES EXIST NOW FOR MON/TUE WHICH
CREATE LOWERED CONFIDENCE FOR THIS PART OF THE FORECAST. GFS STILL
SHOWS A STRONG WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE HOLDING ACROSS THE CAROLINAS
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...WHILE CMC/ECMWF HAVE BACKED OFF ON THIS
FEATURE. ALTHOUGH HPC CONTINUES TO FAVOR THE ECMWF...THE RECENT
CONSISTENCY OF THE GFS CANNOT BE IGNORED EVEN IF IT IS THE OUTLIER
NOW. ADMITTEDLY...IT IS CLIMATOLOGICALLY QUITE DIFFICULT TO GET A
STRONG WEDGE THIS TIME OF YEAR SO THE ECMWF SOLUTION MAY BE MORE
REALISTIC...BUT HESITATE TO MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THIS
PORTION OF THE FORECAST DUE TO UNCERTAINTY. SO WILL JUST ADJUST
TEMPS UPWARD A BIT...BUT OTHERWISE LEAVE PRETTY MUCH UNCHANGED FOR
NOW.

BY LATE TUESDAY ANY REMNANT WEDGING...IF ANY...ERODES AS HIGH
PRESSURE DRIFTS OFFSHORE AND WARM SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW ENVELOPS THE
AREA. THIS WILL BRING BACK WEATHER MORE TYPICAL OF EARLY MAY...WITH
TEMPS RISING TO ABOVE CLIMO WED/THU.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...MCS IS DYING WITH MOST OF THE MOISTURE REMAINING NORTH
OF THE REGION. EXPECT SCATTERED CONVECTION TO REFIRE THIS AFTERNOON.
COVERAGE AND TIMING ARE STILL AN ISSUE...BUT WITH THE STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME STRONG STORMS SOMEWHERE
IN THE EASTERN CAROLINAS. WE THINK THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE ACROSS NC
WHERE THE HIGHEST PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE. STRONG SOUTHWEST
SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...GUSTS TO
30 KTS LIKELY. TONIGHT...A SECONDARY ROUND OF CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE
WITH A SECOND UPPER DISTURBANCE. SURFACE WINDS WILL DIMINISH BUT
WILL REMAIN ABOVE 8 KTS MOST OF THE NIGHT. FRIDAY...EXPECT VFR WITH
MORE OF A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AS A POORLY DEFINED FRONT SAGS SOUTH.
LOOK FOR CONVECTION TO REFIRE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ISOLATED STORMS SATURDAY. VFR
SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...LOW PRESSURE IS DEEPENING ACROSS SOUTHEAST
VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON AND SHOULD PUSH OUT INTO THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC THIS EVENING. THIS LOW HAS PRODUCED A TIGHTENED PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN ITSELF AND HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WEST ACROSS THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA. STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH
OVERNIGHT AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS...AND AS A COLD FRONT SLIDES
SOUTH TOWARD THE REGION. THIS FRONT MAY BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE CAPE
FEAR REGION AROUND DAYBREAK FRIDAY...OTHERWISE EXPECT LARGELY
SOUTHWEST WINDS TO PREVAIL OVERNIGHT.

THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN CAROLINAS WILL
MOVE EAST AND MAY BEGIN TO AFFECT THE COASTAL WATERS MAINLY NORTH OF
MYRTLE BEACH THIS EVENING. GUSTY WINDS AND LIGHTNING THE PRIMARY
EXPECTED THREATS.

WITH STRONG WINDS OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS HAVE DEVELOPED QUITE A
ROUGH SEA STATE. SEA HEIGHTS ARE BEING MEASURED AS HIGH AS 8-9 FEET
OUT AT THE FRYING PAN SHOALS BUOY...WITH 5-6 FT CLOSER TO SHORE AT
THE CORMP BUOYS. SEAS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS WINDS DIE
AWAY BUT IT WILL TAKE TIME.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH AND STALL NEAR
CAPE FEAR REMAINING DRAPED ACROSS AREA ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.
THIS WILL CREATE LIGHTER AND MORE VARIABLE WINDS OVER THE LOCAL
WATERS. THERE WILL BE AN OVERALL DECREASE IN WINDS AND SEAS AS
GRADIENT WEAKENS OVER AREA. SEAS WILL START OUT NEAR SCA BUT WILL
DIMINISH QUICKLY THROUGH AFTERNOON DOWN TO 3 FT OR LESS BY LATE
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE N-NE VEERING AROUND TO THE E-NE NORTH OF
THE FRONT AND WILL BE SOUTHERLY TO THE SOUTH OF BOUNDARY. BY SAT
AFTERNOON FRONT WILL MOVE BACK NORTH AGAIN AND A SLIGHT INCREASE
IN S WINDS WILL DRIVE SEAS BACK UP A BIT REACHING 3 TO 4 FT.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...BACK DOOR COLD FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS
SUNDAY SO WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE DURING FRONTAL
PASSAGE...BECOMING NE AND INCREASING TO AROUND 15 KTS LATE SUNDAY
BEHIND THE FRONT. SEAS WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY 2-4 FT THROUGH MOST OF
SUNDAY...BUILDING TO 3-5 FT LATE DUE TO THE INCREASING WINDS.
MODERATE NE WINDS PERSIST MUCH OF MONDAY BEFORE EASING AND VEERING
GRADUALLY TO THE SE TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS OFFSHORE. SEAS
STAY ELEVATED THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF MONDAY...3-5 FT EXCEPT IN
THE FAVORED SHADOW REGIONS SW OF FRYING PAN SHOALS. CAUTIONARY
HEADLINES APPEAR LIKELY LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...BUT CONDITIONS MAY
REMAIN JUST BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS. SEAS THEN FALL BACK TO 2-4 FT LATE
MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH AN INCREASING SE SWELL.
