AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
325 PM EDT FRI APR 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL LINGER ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT BEFORE
LIFTING NORTH ON SATURDAY. WARM SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE THE FRONT DROPS BACK SOUTH AND CROSSES THE
AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. RELATIVELY COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD
IN BEHIND THE FRONT MONDAY...THEN MOVE OFFSHORE TUESDAY ALLOWING
THE RETURN OF A WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT OVER EAST-CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA HAS BECOME QUITE DIFFUSE INLAND BUT IS STILL VERY EASY TO
LOCATE ALONG THE COAST WHERE A SOUTHWESTWARD-MOVING ROPE CLOUD AND
10-15 DEGREE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT EXIST. THE FRONT SHOULD EASE ITS
WAY INTO WILMINGTON...ELIZABETHTOWN AND LUMBERTON EARLY THIS
EVENING...STALLING OUT SOMEWHERE ALONG A LINE FROM LAKE CITY TO
MURRELLS INLET TONIGHT. NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY WINDS WILL BECOME
EAST TO NORTHEAST...WHILE TO THE SOUTH A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WIND
WILL CONTINUE.

OF MORE IMPORTANCE IN THE NEAR-TERM...MODERATELY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS
HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT WHERE SB-CAPE VALUES ARE
ECLIPSING 1500 J/KG AND LIFTED INDICES HAVE FALLEN BELOW -4. THERE
IS A WANING CONVECTIVE CAP AT 800 MB THAT WILL BREAK WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE NOW CROSSING THE UPPER SAVANNAH
RIVER VALLEY. MUCH OF OUR MODEL GUIDANCE IS FORECASTING AN MCS TO
DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS...PROPAGATING
EAST TO THE COAST BY 6-8 PM THIS EVENING. SUFFICIENT BULK SHEAR
EXISTS FOR MULTICELL STORM ORGANIZATION. STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
IS GENERATING 500 J/KG OF CAPE THROUGHOUT THE -10C TO -30C LAYER
(ROUGHLY 18000-27000 FT AGL TODAY)...SUGGESTING LARGE HAIL COULD BE
A THREAT. COLD POOL EFFECTS WILL FURTHER INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ONCE THE MCS ACHIEVES "CRITICAL MASS."  SPC HAS
ALREADY GIVEN NOTICE IN THEIR MOST RECENT MESOSCALE DISCUSSION THAT
A WATCH IS LIKELY ACROSS CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA...WHICH MAY END UP
INCLUDING A PORTION OF THE SC PEE DEE.

THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD END AFTER 8
PM...WITH MORE IN THE WAY OF SHOWERS (AND LESS IN THE WAY OF
THUNDERSTORMS) EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. THE APPROACH OF ANOTHER UPPER
DISTURBANCE AFTER MIDNIGHT SHOULD INDUCE A SURFACE WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE STALLED FRONT. CROSS-FRONTAL FLOW
ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER COULD CREATE MORE SHOWERS OR EVEN JUST A
PERIOD OF STRATIFORM RAIN AFFECTING MAINLY SOUTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA
AFTER MIDNIGHT...MOVING OFF THE COAST AROUND DAYBREAK SATURDAY. LOWS
TONIGHT SHOULD RANGE FROM AROUND 60 IN THE NORTH TO THE MID 60S IN
THE SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE DRAPED EAST-
WEST ACROSS THE CWA EARLY SATURDAY AND LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH 500 MB SHORTWAVE ENERGY
SHOULD BE MOVING OFF THE COAST IN THE MORNING. POPS WILL DECREASE
THROUGH THE DAY AS THE ATMOSPHERE DRIES OUT ABOVE 850 MB...THOUGH
IT WILL BE TOUGH TO RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TSTM DURING THE
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY.

THE FRONT WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY.
WEST-SOUTHWEST LOW-LEVEL FLOW AND MID-UPPER RIDGING WILL SEE TEMPS
SOAR INTO THE MID 80S...EVEN UPPER 80S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA. IT
APPEARS THAT AN ABSENCE OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE ALONG WITH SUBSIDENCE
WILL PRECLUDE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANCE OF CONVECTION. THE FRONT WILL
RETURN SOUTH AS A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT SUNDAY EVENING AND WILL
WARRANT AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
CWA...PERHAPS FURTHER SOUTH DEPENDING ON ITS PROGRESS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...MODELS NOW MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH HIGH PRESSURE
PUSHING BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WELL TO OUR SOUTH ON MONDAY. GIVEN THE
STRENGTH OF THE UPPER TROUGH OFF OF CANADIAN MARITIMES THIS SEEMS
QUITE PLAUSIBLE. LOOKS LIKE IT WILL NOW WEAKEN TO THE POINT OF
WASHING OUT OFF TO OUR SOUTH AS THE DAY WEARS ON. WHILE THIS WILL
ACT TO KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES COOL RELATIVE TO THE REST OF THE LONG
TERM IT DOES NOT ARGUE FOR MUCH IN THE WAY OF RAIN CHANCES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOUNDARY...NOR DOES THE BUILDING RIDGE ALOFT.
THIS RIDGE...CENTERED OVER FL/BAHAMAS...WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY WHILE THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST.
WARMER AND MORE HUMID BOUNDARY LAYER AIR WILL THUS ADVECT UP AND
DOWN THE EAST COAST. THIS PATTERN WILL MORE OR LESS STAY AS-IS FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM. EVENTUALLY SOME MESOSCALE FORCING
MAY SUPPORT ISOLATED CONVECTION ONCE HEAT AND MOISTURE BECOME
ADEQUATE BUT GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY AND EXPECTED LOW COVERAGE THE
FORECAST WILL REMAIN DRY AT THIS TIME. TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...WEAK COLD FRONT VISIBLE ON SATELLITE IMAGERY WILL DROP
INTO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. COVERAGE SHOULD BE
SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...PERHAPS A BIT LESS INTENSE. TONIGHT...WINDS
SHIFT TO THE EAST NORTHEAST...USHERING IN MVFR CIGS...PERHAPS
DROPPING TO IFR INLAND. A MODERATE UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE WILL MOVE
INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS AFTER LOCAL MIDNIGHT...WITH ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED STORMS EXPECTED. BY MID MORNING SATURDAY...
EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS AS THE UPPER DISTURBANCE EXITS TO THE
NORTHEAST. A MVFR CEILING MAY LINGER...LIFTING TO VFR BY EARLY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...ISOLATED STORMS POSSIBLE SATURDAY. VFR SUNDAY.
MVFR OR BRIEF IFR VSBYS IN MORNING FOG POSSIBLE MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED SOUTH THROUGH
THE MOREHEAD CITY AREA AND SHOULD BE MOVING INTO THE CAPE FEAR
REGION BEFORE SUNSET. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST SYNOPTIC WINDS WILL TURN
EAST TO NORTHEAST BEHIND THE FRONT...ALTHOUGH WITH NO SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN WIND SPEED EXPECTED. THE BOUNDARY WILL DROP SOUTH
THROUGH MYRTLE BEACH LATE THIS EVENING...STALLING IN THE MURRELLS
INLET VICINITY OVERNIGHT.

A LARGE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL
SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD MAKE IT
TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST BEFORE SUNSET...PERHAPS AFFECTING A
PORTION OF THE NC COAST AS WELL. HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY THROUGH 8-9 PM. AFTERWARDS...ALTHOUGH
MORE SHOWERS AND PERHAPS THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT
THEY SHOULD BE OF THE NON-SEVERE VARIETY.

SEAS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO FALL GIVEN ALL THE STRONG WINDS EXPERIENCED
OVER THE PAST 24-36 HOURS. THE FRYING PAN SHOALS BUOY IS STILL
HANGING ON TO 6 FOOT SEAS AS OF THE 2 PM REPORT...WITH 3-4 FT SEAS
STILL REPORTED NEARSHORE AT THE CORMP BUOYS. SHOULD GRADUALLY FALL
TO 2-4 FT TONIGHT.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...STATIONARY FRONT WILL BE DRAPED SOMEWHERE
NEAR THE NC-SC STATE LINE SATURDAY MORNING AND WILL MOVE TO THE
NORTH THROUGH THE DAY. WINDS NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL BE PRIMARILY
EAST...WITH A MORE SOUTHEASTERLY COMPONENT SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH
AND WILL REMAIN GENERALLY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST INTO SUNDAY EVENING. AT
THAT POINT THE FRONT WILL MOVE BACK TO THE SOUTH...AND THERE IS
SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW QUICKLY AND HOW FAR IT PROGRESSES. A SHIFT
TO THE NORTHEAST APPEARS LIKELY SUNDAY NIGHT FOR THE WATERS NORTH
OF LITTLE RIVER INLET...AND IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WATERS AS FAR
SOUTH AS THE SANTEE RIVER AS WELL.

AS FAR AS PRECIPITATION...EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS
TO BE MOVING ACROSS THE WATERS EARLY SATURDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH
A MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCE. THESE SHOULD EXIT THE WATERS BY LATE
MORNING...THEN ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANCE FOR CONVECTION APPEARS TO
HOLD OFF UNTIL SUNDAY EVENING AND WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING SOUTH.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...COLD FRONT PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT TO BE STALLED
ACROSS THE REGION EARLY MONDAY NOW MAY REMAIN WELL TO THE SOUTH.
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THIS SHIFT
BUT IT DOES SEEM PLAUSIBLE GIVEN THE POSITION AND STRENGTH OF
FEATURES ALOFT. EASTERLY/ONSHORE FLOW FOR THE EARLIER PARTS OF
MONDAY WILL BRING SOME HIGHER WAVE HEIGHTS ACROSS THE FORECAST
ZONES. THIS ONSHORE FLOW COMPONENT MAY NOW LAST A LITTLE LONGER THAN
PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT BY PERSISTING INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS THE HIGH OFF
THE COAST ONLY VERY SLOWLY PROGRESSES EAST. BY TUESDAY HOWEVER THE
ANTICIPATED VEER TO A MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW SPREADING NORTHWARD ACROSS
THE WATERS. THERE WILL NOT BE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN WIND SPEED AS
THIS OCCURS BUT THE LESSENED ONSHORE COMPONENT SHOULD STILL
TRANSLATE TO A SLIGHT DIMINUTION OF WAVE HEIGHTS. SOUTHERLY
COMPONENT REMAINS THROUGH THE PERIOD BUT NOT THE TYPICAL BERMUDA
HIGH TYPE OF MODERATE SWRLY FLOW...THIS HIGH WILL BE CONSIDERABLY
DISPLACED EAST OF THAT. OVERALL WIND MAY BE A CATEGORY LOWER THAN
THOSE BORNE OF BERMUDA HIGH...AND THERE COULD BE SOME VARIABILITY
BETWEEN SOUTHERLY DIRECTIONS...I.E. SW TO S OR EVEN SE.
