AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
1242 PM EDT TUE MAY 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRIGGERS
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM
EXITS...A WARMUP IS EXPECTED LATE IN THE WEEK AND THROUGH THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1245 PM TUESDAY...RADAR SHOWS SHOWERS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
LOWER PEE DEE REGION WITH AN INCOMING VORTICITY LOBE...AND ALSO SOME
ACTIVITY ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF PENDER AND BLADEN COUNTIES.
VISIBLE SATELLITE (AND GLANCES OUT THE WINDOW) SHOW THE CUMULUS
FIELD IN AND AROUND WILMINGTON IS PRIMED FOR ACTIVITY AS WELL. THIS
REQUIRES ONLY SMALL CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. DISCUSSION
FROM 1030 AM FOLLOWS...

TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALBERTO IS NO MORE. THE CONVECTION HAS BEEN
SHEARED OFF AND AWAY FROM THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION MEANING THERE IS
NO LONGER A METHOD FOR ALBERTO TO EVACUATE AIR AND MAINTAIN LOWER
PRESSURES IN THE CENTER OF THE CIRCULATION. ALBERTO'S REMNANT
CIRCULATION IS CAUGHT UP IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF AN INCOMING
NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE FROM THE
ALABAMA/GEORGIA BORDER THIS MORNING INTO SOUTH CAROLINA TONIGHT. THE
NEGATIVE TILT SHOULD BECOME SO EXTREME TONIGHT THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY
WILL CUT OFF INTO A CLOSED UPPER LOW WHICH SHOULD WOBBLE SLOWLY
OVERHEAD WEDNESDAY. FALLING MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES AND A JUICY
SUBTROPICAL AIRMASS HERE AT THE SURFACE SPELL GROWING VERTICAL
INSTABILITY...WITH CAPE VALUES RISING TO AROUND 1500 J/KG THIS
AFTERNOON.  WITH THE HELP OF MESOSCALE LIFT PROVIDED BY THE
SEABREEZE FRONT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON JUST INLAND FROM THE COAST. THE ONLY AREAS THAT MIGHT
BE COMPLETELY SPARED ARE THE SOUTH-FACING BEACHES WHERE COOLER
ONSHORE WINDS BEHIND THE SEABREEZE WILL DEVELOP EARLY ENOUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. THE LATEST HRRR SHOWS THIS CLASSIC WEATHER PATTERN WELL
AND IS THE BASIS FOR OUR MORNING FORECAST UPDATE.

BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON CONTINUED HEATING INLAND AND THE APPROACH
OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT SHOULD PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS INLAND AS WELL. SPC HAS CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA OUTLOOKED IN A
"SLIGHT RISK" FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE COLDER TEMPERATURES ALOFT
AND BETTER SHEAR PROFILES CLOSER TO THE NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER
TROUGH. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAY LINGER INTO THE EVENING...WITH
PERHAPS A SECOND ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS OVERNIGHT AS THE CORE
OF THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES ALOFT ROTATE INTO EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA.

HIGHS TODAY SHOULD REACH THE MID 80S AWAY FROM THE OCEAN. LOWS
TONIGHT SHOULD FALL TO 65-70...WARMEST AT THE BEACHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...COOL POCKET ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH MID LEVEL
TROUGH MOVES ACROSS WEDNESDAY MORNING. THEREAFTER COMES WEAK HEIGHT
RISES AND WAA BUT A TRAILING VORT MAX SHOULD STILL MANAGE TO TOUCH
OFF SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. FORECAST INSTABILITY AMPLE
ENOUGH TO DRAW ANOTHER SEE TEXT/5% FOR SEVERE FROM SPC...NOTING LACK
OF SHEAR TO SUPPORT ANY LEVEL OF ORGANIZATION IN CONVECTION.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO CLIMO. FORCING WILL BE ON THE
WANE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD WITH THE EXIT OF THE UPPER
TROUGH. YET ANOTHER VORT COMES THROUGH ON THE HEELS OF THE EXITING
TROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ITS A MUCH WEAKER FEATURE SO ONLY LOW
END CHANCE POPS APPEAR WARRANTED FOR WHAT SHOULD END UP BEING WIDELY
SCATTERED OR ISOLATED CONVECTIVE COVERAGE. THURSDAY HIGHS AND LOWS
WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO WEDNESDAYS AND THUS CLIMATOLOGY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...UPPER WAVE FROM THE SHORT TERM GOES ON TO
INTERACT WITH AMPLE MOISTURE STREAMING OUT OF THE CARIBBEAN AND
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS LOW PRESSURE GETS INDUCED IN THE BAHAMAS LATER IN
THE PERIOD. WRF SOLUTION APPEARS RATHER CLIMATOLOGICALLY EXTREME AT
THIS POINT BUT GIVEN THAT SSTS WERE WARM ENOUGH TO ALREADY SUPPORT
ALBERTO TOUGH TO RULE OUT. FOR NOW THE SHALLOWER SYSTEM DEPICTED BY
THE GFS SEEMS MORE APPEALING AND THERE WILL BE NO IMPACT LOCALLY ON
FRIDAY AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER GULF STATES. JUST ISOLATED
CONVECTION AS NORTHERLY FLOW LOCALLY WILL CONTAIN SOME WEAK SHORT
WAVE IMPULSES AND A HEALTHY SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION WILL DEVELOP. NOT
MUCH CHANGES INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED
POSSIBLE LOW OUT OF THE PICTURE THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BE THE DOMINANT
PLAYER. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY. SURFACE FLOW WILL
BE A BIT MORE EASTERLY THAN MOST LATE SPRING WARM UPS TEMPERING THE
WARMTH SLIGHTLY AND PUSHING THE SEA BREEZE WELL INLAND. ISOLATED
CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON MAY BE SHUNTED ALL THE WAY TO WESTERN
ZONES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND UPPER IMPULSE.
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF ACTIVITY INTO ANY TERMINAL IS ONLY LOW TO
MODERATE. ONE IMPULSE MOVING THROUGH THE FLO TERMINALS ATTM SHOULD
ENHANCE SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS AFTERNOON FROM
MYR TO ILM. WILL INDICATE SHOWERS/WITH TEMPO MVFR AT ALL TERMINALS
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SHORT-TERM AMENDMENTS AS RADAR COVERAGE
INDICATES. VCTS WILL BE MOST LIKELY AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS. SHORT
PERIODS OF IFR ARE LIKELY WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS BUT THE DURATION
SHOULD BE TOO SHORT TO MENTION IN AT LEAST THE 18Z TAFS. THIS
CONVECTION SHOULD END BY LATE AFTERNOON...WITH A SECOND ROUND OF
CONVECTION DEVELOPING THIS EVENING PERSISTING UNTIL MIDNIGHT OR
EVEN AFTER AS THE UPPER IMPULSE ROTATES THROUGH.

THUNDERSTORM DEBRIS CLOUDINESS SHOULD SLOWLY THIS OUT AFTER THE
PRECIPITATION ENDS AFTER MIDNIGHT...LEAVING THE WINDOW OPEN FOR BR
DEVELOPMENT. ATTM WILL INDICATE ONLY MVFR CONDITIONS AT FLO/LBT DUE
TO LIGHTER SURFACE WINDS AND LESS POTENTIAL CLOUD COVER. PATCHY
DENSE FOG COULD OCCUR ESPECIALLY IN SHELTERED AREAS WHERE SKIES
CLEAR OUT. ANY REDUCED FLIGHT CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE RAPIDLY
AROUND SUNRISE WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN POSSIBLE BY MID
MORNING.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCATTERED SHOWERS/MVFR...WITH ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS/TEMPO IFR POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1245 PM TUESDAY...CURRENT OBSERVATIONS MATCH THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST CLOSELY...NO CHANGES ARE REQUIRED. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM
1030 AM FOLLOWS...

ALBERTO IS A DISSIPATING POST-TROPICAL DEPRESSION LOCATED ABOUT 250
MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CAPE FEAR. WINDS ARE CURRENTLY SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST ACROSS OUR COASTAL WATERS INDICATING THERE HAS BEEN NO
INFLUENCE FROM ALBERTO'S SMALL CIRCULATION. OUR WINDS ARE ACTUALLY
INFLUENCED BY THE CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY ACROSS THE INLAND CAROLINAS. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT
EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST... INSTEAD STALLING TONIGHT AND
DISSIPATING ON WEDNESDAY. UNTIL THEN... SOUTHWEST 10-15 KNOT WINDS
ARE EXPECTED...STRONGEST ALONG THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND FARTHER
AWAY FROM THE COAST TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ALONG THE SEABREEZE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE COULD BE ON
OR VERY NEAR THE BEACHES...SO MARINERS WILL WANT TO PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION TO THE SKY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THERE SHOULD BE A LULL IN
SHOWER/T-STORM ACTIVITY LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
EVENING...BUT NEW SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY DEVELOP OFFSHORE LATE THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

SEAS CONTINUE TO BE THE ONE AREA WE ARE RECEIVING AN INFLUENCE FROM
FORMER TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO. 3-4 FT SEAS WILL CONTINUE INTO
TONIGHT AS ALBERTO'S SWELL IS ADDED TO LOCALLY GENERATED WIND WAVES.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...BROAD AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC IN TANDEM WITH PIEDMONT TROUGHINESS TO BRING SSW FLOW ON
WEDNESDAY. A DOMINANT 3 TO 4 FT SEA STATE WILL BE A COMBO OF SW WIND
CHOP AND E SWELL...BOTH COMPONENTS BEING COMPARABLE IN RELATIVE
STRENGTH. CONDITIONS WILL NOT CHANCE TOO MUCH INTO THURSDAY BUT
THEIR IS SOME UNCERTAINTY. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE
CARIBBEAN AND INTO THE BAHAMAS LATE IN THE PERIOD. THERE IS QUITE A
DIFFERENCE IN GUIDANCE WITH RESPECT TO THIS SYSTEMS EVENTUAL FATE.
FOR THIS PERIOD ITS PRESENCE MAY CUT DOWN ON THE SWELL ENERGY BY
INTERRUPTING THE LONG EASTERLY FETCH.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...FOR THE MOST PART A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOCAL SET OF
WIND AND WAVES. THERE IS A COMPLICATING FACTOR THAT FRIDAY MAY SEE
SOME KIND OF WEAK LOW OF TROPICAL ORIGINS MOVING PARALLEL TO THE
COAST...AND LIKELY WELL OFFSHORE. THERE ARE SOME MODEL SOLUTIONS
THAT HAVE IT CLOSER AND STRONGER AND THEREFORE MUCH OF A FACTOR IN
THE FORECAST. FOR NOW FOLLOWING WEAKER SOLUTIONS THAT SHOW A WEAK
LOW OR OPEN TROUGH IN THE OTHERWISE EASTERLY FLOW BORNE OF
AFOREMENTIONED HIGH. SEAS IN THE 2 TO 4 FT RANGE AS ALTHOUGH WINDS
WILL REMAIN LIGHT THE EASTERLY FETCH LENGTH COULD BE QUITE LONG AND
ALLOW FOR A SIGNIFICANT SWELL COMPONENT.
