AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
830 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 815 PM EDT FRIDAY...THE INLAND PROGRESSION OF THE SEA BREEZE
AND THE COOL SURGE FROM THE NE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT...HAS ADVECTED ENOUGH LOW LEVEL STABLE MARINE LAYER TO KEEP
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE ILM NC PORTION OF THE CWA TO A
MINIMUM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EASTWARD CONVECTION WHEN IT PULSED
MOMENTARILY AS IT INTERACTED WITH THE SEA BREEZE ACROSS COLUMBUS
COUNTY...BEFORE FINALLY WEAKENING AS IT FURTHER TRACKED EASTWARD
INTO THE STABLE MARINE LAYER.

ADDITIONAL CONVECTION UPSTREAM IS EXPECTED TO RE-FIRE ALONG THE
STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT AND BASICALLY TRACK EAST ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY. BOTH LATEST RUC AND NAM MODELS INDICATE A MID LEVEL
S/W TROF TO TRACK ESE OVERNIGHT...REACHING THE ILM CWA DURING THE
PRE-DAWN SAT HOURS. ASSOCIATED DYNAMICS AND RESULTING UVVS TO
FURTHER AID CONVECTION TRACKING ALONG THE FRONT...AND AS A RESULT
WILL TREND WITH HIGHER POPS AS CONVECTION EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN
AREAL COVERAGE BY SUNRISE SATURDAY. AT THIS POINT...LOOKING AT BRIEF
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL FROM THIS ACTIVITY AS THE
PRIMARY THREAT...WITH THE OCCASIONAL SMALL HAIL OR BRIEF 30 TO 45
MPH WIND GUSTS. LOOK FOR A 8-12 DEGREE RANGE OF MIN TEMPS DUE TO THE
EAST-WEST ORIENTATED COLD FRONT BI-SECTING THE ILM CWA.

&&

.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 /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 23Z...A STATIONARY FRONT WAS ANALYZED FROM NORTH OF ILM TO
BETWEEN LBT/FLO. A SEA BREEZE WAS SEEN ON RADAR MOVING INLAND FROM
CRE/MYR. ANOTHER SURGE OF COOL AIR WAS MOVING EAST TO WEST AND HAS
MOVED THROUGH THE ILM TERMINAL. THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON
HAVE LAID DOWN NUMEROUS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES NEAR FLO.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE STATIONARY FRONT IN THE WARMEST AIR THIS EVENING.
BEST LIFT/THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL BE FROM FLO TO CRE/MYR. BASED
ON CURRENT RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REMAIN
ISOLATED. AFTER 03Z LIFT DECREASES AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END. A
MODERATE UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS
AFTER LOCAL MIDNIGHT...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS...WITH EMBEDDED
STORMS POSSIBLE. AS THIS IMPULSE PASSES THE FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY
SOUTH THROUGH THE REMAINING TERMINALS...WITH MVFR CEILINGS BECOMING
MORE LIKELY TOWARDS SUNRISE. 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. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE FRONT
NEAR MYR/CRE DURING THE AFTERNOON.

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

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 745 PM FRIDAY...THE USAGE OF MSAS...SFC OBS/BUOYS...AND 88-D
R/V BASE DATA...ALL INDICATED THE NE-E PUSH BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
HAS REACHED THE WATERS FROM CAPE FEAR NORTHWARD. MODELS INDICATE THE
FRONT TO STALL IN THE VICINITY OF LITTLE RIVER INLET OVERNIGHT.
NORTH OF THE FRONT MODELS INDICATE NE-E 10-15 KT. SOUTH OF THE
FRONT...LOOK FOR A SOLID S-SW WIND AROUND 15 KT DUE TO THE SLIGHTLY
TIGHTER SFC PG. ENOUGH CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND DYNAMICS
FROM AN UPPER LEVEL S/W TROF LATE TONIGHT...TO AID WITH A SLOW
INCREASING COVERAGE OF CONVECTION DURING THE PRE-DAWN HRS OF
SATURDAY.

PER SWAN AND LATEST WAVEWATCH3 MODEL DATA...LOOK FOR SEAS TO SETTLE
IN THE 2 TO 4 FOOT RANGE DURING THE OVERNIGHT...WITH A DOMINANT 5 TO
7 SECONDS PERIOD.

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.
