AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
341 AM EST WED FEB 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST TODAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE CAROLINAS TODAY NIGHT AND LINGER NEAR OR
JUST SOUTH OF AREA BEFORE MOVING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON
FRIDAY. ANOTHER STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY. COOLER AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE AREA SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BRINGING
TEMPERATURES BACK TO SEASONABLE NORMS AFTER THE MID WEEK WARMTH.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3:30 AM WEDNESDAY...UNSETTLED AND UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER ON
TAP FOR TODAY AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
DEWPOINTS WILL RISE THIS AFTERNOON TO AROUND 60 IN A STRENGTHENING
SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW AS CWA COMES IN THE WARM SECTOR OF
APPROACHING SYSTEM. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE MODERATE INSTABILITY
DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND P/W VALUES APPROACHING 1.5
INCHES. ALTHOUGH SPOTTY LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY COULD OCCUR AT ANYTIME
FROM THIS MORNING ONWARDS...EXPECT STRONGEST CONVECTION TO SPREAD
FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING AS DAYTIME HEATING
AND FAVORABLE JET PLACEMENT COMBINE WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
RELATIVELY HIGH P/W VALUES. SPC HAS ENTIRE ARE IN THE SLIGHT RISK
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR TODAY...WITH THE PRIMARY RISK BEING
FROM DAMAGING WINDS.

UNSEASONABLY WARM TODAY. MODEL CONSENSUS HAS UPPER 60S AT THE
BEACHES AND LOWER TO MID 70S ELSEWHERE THIS AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT
WILL LIKEWISE BE UNSEASONABLY WARM...WITH LOWS OF AROUND 60 MOST
LOCATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...LINGERING SHOWERS AT THE START OF THE PERIOD
AS WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY DRIFTS SOUTH OF THE AREA. FEATURE IS MORE
OF A TROUGH THAN ANYTHING ELSE AND WILL BE FOLLOWED BY SIGNIFICANT
DRYING. STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW AND AFTERNOON SUN WILL PUSH HIGHS INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 70S...LOW 80S IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ACROSS
INLAND SC. A WEAK/DRY COLD FRONT DROPS INTO THE AREA THU NIGHT INTO
FRI. SOME QUESTION AS TO JUST HOW FAR SOUTH THIS FEATURE PUSHES
BEFORE IT RETURNS NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON FRI. GUIDANCE PUSHES IT
SOUTH OF THE AREA LATE THU NIGHT BEFORE IT RETURNS FRI...ALONG WITH
AN AREA OF INCREASED ISENTROPIC LIFT. AT THIS POINT NOT ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE TO SIGNIFICANTLY RAISE FRI AFTERNOON POP WHICH IS
CURRENTLY LOW CHANCE. HOWEVER...IF THE FRONT DOES PUSH SOUTH OF THE
AREA FEEL AT LEAST A LIKELY POP WOULD BE WARRANTED ON FRI. HIGHS FRI
WILL REMAIN ABOVE CLIMO DESPITE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS. STRONG SOUTHWEST
FLOW CONTINUES FRI NIGHT WITH LOWS WELL ABOVE CLIMO.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...MAIN FOCUS IN THE PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE COLD
FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND. STILL SOME QUESTION
AS TO THE EXACT TIMING...BUT ALL THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE DOES
AGREE THAT THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO PUSH EAST. BROAD 5H TROUGH OVER
THE CENTRAL CONUS WILL TAKE ITS TIMING MOVING EAST...LEAVING THE
FRONT LAYING PARALLEL TO THE FLOW ALOFT. THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS ARE
WITHIN 6 HOURS OR SO TIMING FROPA...LATE SAT/EARLY SUN...WHILE THE
CANADIAN IS SLOWEST...LATE SUN. LOOKS LIKE THE CANADIAN IS SLOWER
DUE TO A DEEPER/MORE AMPLIFIED UPPER PATTERN. AT THIS POINT IN TIME
THE LESS AMPLIFIED AND THUS FASTER SOLUTIONS...GFS/ECMWF/HPC...ARE
FAVORED. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES SPIKE TO 1.6 INCHES SAT IN THE
DEEP/STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. CURRENT FORECAST
SOUNDINGS DO NOT SHOW AN ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF DEEP CONVECTION
BUT STRONG LOW LEVEL JETTING...OVER 50KT...COULD STILL PRODUCE SOME
STRONG WIND GUSTS. WENT AHEAD AND MADE A SLIGHT UPWARD ADJUSTMENT TO
POP FOR BOTH SAT/SAT NIGHT. TEMPS WELL ABOVE CLIMO SAT AND POSSIBLY
SAT NIGHT DEPENDING ON TIMING OF THE FRONT.

COLD ADVECTION ARRIVES SUN STUNTING TEMP INCREASE IN THE AFTERNOON
AND HOLDING HIGHS RIGHT AROUND CLIMO. 5H TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS OVERHEAD
SUN NIGHT BUT NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVENT RADIATIONAL COOLING.
GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT PRECIP SUN
NIGHT INTO MON AS SHORTWAVE ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH BUT NOT
READY TO BUY INTO THIS JUST YET. TIMING AND MOISTURE BEING THE
BIGGEST ISSUE. TEMPERATURES NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMO MON/MON
NIGHT WITH MON NIGHT THE COOLEST OF THE BUNCH AS RADIATIONAL COOLING
WILL BE A FACTOR. TYPICAL COOL SPOTS MAY DROP CLOSE TO 30.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 06Z...EXPECT VFR THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD...WITH CONDITIONS
POSSIBLY DETERIORATING TO MVFR BEFORE DAYBREAK DUE TO FOG
DEVELOPMENT...AND ADDITIONALLY LOW CIGS AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH LATE
MORNING. CURRENT OBS DEPICT AN AREA OF MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS
SLOWLY INFILTRATING INTO THE SOUTHERN MOST TIP OF OUR AREA IN SC.
ANTICIPATE THESE CLOUDS TO CONTINUE THEIR MIGRATION INTO THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. WITH THE VARYING NATURE OF OPACITY WITH THESE
CLOUDS...THE CONFIDENCE OF TIMING AND OCCURRENCE OF FOG ATTM IS
MODERATE. FOR NOW...IF FOG DOES DEVELOP...BEST CHANCE WILL BE AT
KCRE/KLBT/KFLO AND WILL REMAIN EITHER 4-5SM AND LAST ONLY A FEW
HOURS. GENERALLY EAST WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BE LIGHT. AFTER
DAYBREAK...LOW STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS WILL LINGER BEFORE CIGS IMPROVE
TO VFR AGAIN BY LATE AFTERNOON...THOUGH EXPECT CLOUD COVER TO BE
BKN/OVC. CANNOT RULE OUT -DZ...HOWEVER HAVE NOT INTRODUCED INTO
CURRENT FORECAST GIVEN LOW CONFIDENCE. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME
SOUTHERLY...WITH GUSTS NEAR 20 KTS IN THE LATER AFTERNOON AND
SUBSIDING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. CIGS WILL LOWER AGAIN TOWARDS THE
END OF THE PERIOD CREATING MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS...AND POTENTIALLY
LIFR. HAVE INTRODUCED ISOLATED AREAS OF FOG WITH ENHANCED AREAS OF
MOISTURE...THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS LOW ATTM.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK... A CHANCE FOR PRECIP WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY MORNING WITH A COLD FRONT. BECOMING VFR THURSDAY. CHANCE OF
RAIN CONTINUES FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. VFR SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3:30 AM WEDNESDAY...SWLY FLOW WILL INCREASE TODAY IN ADVANCE
OF A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM...WITH WINDS INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 KTS
THIS AFTERNOON AND TO AROUND 20 KTS OVERNIGHT. SEAS WILL GRADUALLY
BUILD THROUGH THE PERIOD...FROM PRESENT 3 TO 4 FT RANGE TO 5 TO 7 FT
OVERNIGHT. HAVE RAISED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ALL WATERS TONIGHT
DUE TO HIGH SEAS.

SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...DECREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW THU MAY SEE A
BRIEF PERIOD OF SCA SEAS FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE
PERIOD...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO EXTEND SCA BEYOND 12Z THU.
15 TO 20 KT SOUTHWEST FLOW THU WILL DECREASE INTO THE EVENING AND
BACK TO WEST THE NORTHWEST THU NIGHT AS WEAK COLD FRONT DROPS INTO
THE AREA. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT
MOVES BEFORE IT STALLS...IT MAY NOT EVEN REACH THE SC WATERS. IN
THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT SPEEDS WILL BE LIGHT WITH HIGHLY
VARIABLE DIRECTIONS. SEAS 3 TO 5 FT THU MORNING WILL DROP TO 2 TO
4 FT LATE THU AND THU NIGHT. SOUTHWEST FLOW RETURNS ON FRI AS
FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE WATERS AND GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP AHEAD OF
NEXT COLD FRONT. DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SPEEDS WILL WARRANT AN SCA
HEADLINE FRI OR FRI NIGHT BUT 15 TO 20 KT SOUTHWEST FLOW FRI NIGHT
MAY END UP PUSHING SEAS ABOVE 6 FT AS EARLY AS FRI EVENING.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...WILL LIKELY HAVE HEADLINES ONGOING AS THE
PERIOD BEINGS. STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WILL BE
A SOLID 20 TO 25 KT WITH SEAS APPROACHING DOUBLE DIGITS SAT NIGHT.
COLD FRONT IS SLOW TO CROSS THE AREA...NOT PUSHING EAST OF THE
WATERS UNTIL SUN MORNING. NOT MUCH OF A INITIAL COLD SURGE BEHIND
THE FRONT OFFSHORE FLOW RUNNING 15 TO 20 KT. COLD ADVECTION DOES
ARRIVE LATE SUN AND MAY RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN SPEEDS JUST AS
THE PERIOD ENDS. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL KNOCK SEAS BELOW HEADLINE
CRITERIA BY SUN MORNING.
