Special Weather Statement, NWS Wilmington, NC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
752 PM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY...BRINGING ONLY SLIGHT COOLING WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY THE
RETURN OF HOT TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT MAY STALL ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 7 PM TUESDAY...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED OFFSHORE
ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA AND CONTINUE TO SETTLE S ACROSS NORTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA THIS EVE. THUNDERSTORMS FROM FLO TO MYR WILL SETTLE
S OF THE SOUTH SANTEE RIVER BETWEEN 9 AND 10 PM. A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONTINUES FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA TIL 11
PM...BUT WILL LIKELY BE CANCELLED EARLY.

CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS WILL LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
A WEAK COLD FRONT/TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA AND WITH
THAT...WINDS ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL SHIFT TO NW AND N AND
INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 KT ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA.

MINIMUMS WILL BE TRICKY AND SOME OF THE AREA HAS ALREADY DIPPED
BELOW THE EXPECTED LOWS DUE TO THE RAIN COOLED AIR. CURRENT TRENDS
SUPPORT LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S N WITH UPPER 70S MORE COMMON
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PEE DEE...GRAND STRAND AND SOUTH SANTEE RIVER
AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...AS SHORTWAVE DRIVES SFC FRONT FURTHER SOUTH
EARLY WED DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW DEVELOP AND BRINGS DRIER AIR INTO
NORTH CAROLINA BUT LINGERING BOUNDARY LAYING EAST TO WEST ACROSS
SOUTH CAROLINA WILL GET NUDGED BACK NORTH AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN. CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE PROVIDE LIFT AND BE
THE FOCAL POINT OF AFTN CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA WED AFTN.
THIS WILL BE FUELED BY SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIDING DOWN AROUND RIDGE
TO OUR WEST. SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO THE
COAST AS DEEP NW FLOW ALOFT WILL EXIST. THE SLIGHTLY LOWER
DEWPOINTS AND THEREFORE DRIER AIR WORKING INTO NC WILL KEEP ANY
ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEA BREEZE OR ANY CONVECTION OVER
INLAND NORTH CAROLINA TO A MINIMUM...BUT WILL KEEP LOW END POPS
FOR WED AFTN WITH BEST CHC VERY CLOSE TO THE COAST IN NC AND MORE
WIDESPREAD OVER SC ASSOCIATED WITH WEAKENING SFC BOUNDARY.

BY THURS RETURN FLOW SETS UP AGAIN WITH A MORE TYPICAL SUMMER
TIME PATTERN OF BERMUDA HIGH TO THE EAST AND PIEDMONT TROUGH OVER
INLAND CAROLINAS. THE MID TO UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EAST AND BUILDS
BACK UP INTO THE MID ATLANTIC WITH W-SW FLOW DEVELOPING ALOFT.
THIS WILL PROVIDE INCREASED SUBSIDENCE BUT EXPECT LOCALIZED
CONVECTION IN CONVERGENCE ALONG SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY. INITIALLY PUT
SCT SHWRS/TSTMS BUT OPTED TO LOWER TO ISOLATED AS INCREASED
SUBSIDENCE ALOFT SHOULD HELP TO LIMIT CONVECTION. GFS SHOWS A BIT
MORE CONVECTION FOR THURS AFTN ASSOCIATED WITH SEA BREEZE BUT
OTHER MODELS KEEP IT VERY ISOLATED.

AS FOR THE HEAT...DRIER AIR WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS AND WEAKER MORE
NORTHERLY FLOW IN NC WILL KEEP OVERALL TEMPS AND HEAT INDEX VALUES
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT MUCH OF SOUTH CAROLINA WILL SEE HEAT
INDICES BETWEEN 105 AND 108. BY THURS THE INCREASING W-SW
DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BOOST TEMPS AND
DEWPOINT TEMPS BACK UP PRODUCING MORE WIDESPREAD HEAT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS ONCE AGAIN ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOCAL CWA.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...FRIDAY A TRANSITIONAL DAY AS UPPER RIDGING
PROGRESSES TO THE EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC. WEAK SWRLY FLOW STARTS TO
GET ESTABLISHED AS THE DAY WEARS ON WHILE AT THE SURFACE A WELL
DEFINED PIEDMONT TROUGH STAYS IN PLACE. TEMPS WILL STILL BE ABOVE
CLIMO AS HEIGHTS ARE QUITE SLOW TO FALL AND DOWNSLOPING FLOW STILL
EVIDENT THROUGH MOST OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER. CONVECTION COVERAGE
SHOULD BE FAIRLY TYPICAL/LOW SCTD...UNLESS A SHORTWAVE DEPICTED BY
THE GFS ENDS UP AS WELL DEFINED AS PROGGED. LOCAL MID LVL FLOW
BECOMES MORE CYCLONIC AS BROAD TROUGHINESS OVER GREAT LAKES DEEPENS.
THIS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO PUSH A FRONT INTO THE CAROLINAS BUT ITS
POSITION/SOUTHEASTWARD PROGRESSION IS IN QUESTION. A GRADUAL TREND
TOWARDS MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND
PERHAPS RAIN CHANCES CAN BE EXPECTED...THE DEGREE OF WHICH WILL
HINGE ON THE AS OF YET UNCERTAIN POSITION OF THE BOUNDARY. THE
LATTER PART OF THE PERIOD/EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL SEE A WEAKENING OF
BOTH THE UPPER TROUGHINESS AS WELL AS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR CLIMO OR RISE BY JUST A FEW DEGREES.
CONVECTION WILL BE SCATTERED IN A FAIRLY SEASONABLY NORMAL FASHION
UNLESS THERE ARE ENOUGH MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER TO YIELD
HIGHER COVERAGE.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 00Z...CONVECTION HAS ACCELERATED...WITH MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
OFF THE COAST OF SOUTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA. NEW CONVECTION IS FIRING
ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA AND WILL LIKELY AFFECT FLO
FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL COME TO AN
END AROUND 03Z...WITH MAINLY A MID CLOUD CEILING LEFT BEHIND. LOOK
FOR BRIEF IFR VISIBILITIES IN THE HEAVIER ACTIVITY.
OVERNIGHT...LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH MAINLY A MID CLOUD
CEILING. A LIGHT SHOWER MAY STILL OCCUR OVER SOUTHEAST NORTH
CAROLINA...WITH LITTLE AVIATION IMPACTS. WEDNESDAY...LIGHT SOUTHWEST
FLOW WILL PREVAIL WITH A CHANCE OF CONVECTION IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON...SHOULD BE LESS ACTIVITY THAN TODAY.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
EACH DAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 7 PM TUESDAY...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM MOVING ACROSS
THE WATERS AT THIS TIME. THESE STORMS HAVE REQUIRED SEVERAL
SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS. THE LINE OF STORMS WILL SETTLE S OF THE
WATERS AND SLOWLY WEAKEN BETWEEN 9 AND 10 PM.

WILL MAINTAIN THE SCEC AS RESIDUAL FIVE FOOTERS CONTINUE ACROSS
THE OUTER WATERS. SYNOPTIC SOUTHWEST FLOW DOES RELAX SLIGHTLY
OVERNIGHT WHEN COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT...CLOSER TO THE LOWER END OF
A 15-20 KNOT RANGE. DIRECTION ALSO VEERS TO MORE OF A WESTERLY
DIRECTION LATE.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...SHOULD SEE N-NW WINDS DEVELOP BEHIND SURFACE
FRONT ACROSS MOST OF LOCAL WATERS EARLY WED...BUT AS SEA BREEZE
DEVELOPS AND BOUNDARY GETS PUSHED BACK NORTH...WINDS WILL BECOME
MORE ON SHORE AND THEN COME AROUND TO THE SOUTH BY THE END OF THE
DAY. SW RETURN FLOW WILL INCREASE THROUGH THURS AS MORE TYPICAL
SUMMERTIME PATTERN RETURNS WITH SW FLOW AROUND BERMUDA HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND PIEDMONT TROUGH INLAND. N-NW OFF SHORE
WINDS AROUND 5 TO 10 MPH WILL KNOCK DOWN SEAS ON WED SUBSIDING
FROM 2 TO 4 FT EARLY WED DOWN TO 3 FT OR LESS LATE WED THROUGH
EARLY THURS. AS RETURN FLOW PICKS BACK UP ON THURS SEAS WILL BUILD
AGAIN TO 3 TO 5 FT OVERNIGHT THURS NIGHT. A LONGER PERIOD
13 SECOND EASTERLY SWELL WILL PREVAIL WED THROUGH THURS AFTN.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS GENERALLY IN THE 10 TO 15KT
RANGE EXPECTED MOST OF THE PERIOD...WITH POSSIBLY A SLIGHT VEER
AND/OR DECREASE IN SPEED ON SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL ENTER THE
CAROLINAS OVER THE WEEKEND BUT HOW FAR SOUTH AND THUS HOW CLOSE IT
GETS TO THE COASTAL WATERS IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. THE
PROXIMITY OF THIS WEAKENING BOUNDARY IS WHAT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE SLIGHT MODULATION IN SPEED/DIRECTION OF THE OTHERWISE
AFOREMENTIONED WINDS. SEAS WILL TEND TO BE IN THE 3 TO 5 FT
RANGE...WITH THOSE HIGHER VALUES GENERALLY CONFINED TO THE OUTER
FRINGES ALONG FRYING PAN SHOALS. SHOULD THE VEER AND DECREASE IN
WIND OCCUR ON SUNDAY SEAS WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
