AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
754 PM EDT MON JUL 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTH LATE TUESDAY
AND PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT WILL THEN
QUICKLY LIFT BACK NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE
AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND WILL PRODUCE A SOUTHWEST FLOW
OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEEK.
ANOTHER FRONT IS FORECAST TO STALL AND DISSIPATE OVER THE AREA
OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 750 PM MON...ADJUSTED POPS UP ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH LATE EVENING DUE TO STRONG CONVECTION
MOVING THROUGH. NO OTHER CHANGES MADE.

CONVECTION MAY LINGER INTO LATE NIGHT HOURS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN
AREAS...AS MODELS INDICATE WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY SLOW TO EXIT THE
REGION OVERNIGHT. TEMPS WILL BE QUITE WARM WITH LOWS IN THE MID
70S INLAND TO NEAR 80 IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MON...TUESDAY WILL FEATURE HOT TEMPERATURES AND
LITTLE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION...AS AREA WILL BE UNDER INFLUENCE
OF BRIEF RIDGING AND SUBSIDENCE AHEAD OF NEXT SHORTWAVE IN FAST
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHORTWAVE COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND
OF POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH THREAT WILL BE VERY
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND MORE LIKELY THE EVENING.

HAVE ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY FOR TUESDAY AS COMBINATION OF HIGH
TEMPS IN THE MID 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S LEAD TO HEAT
INDICES ABOVE 105 DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO
BE ONGOING TUESDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WHICH IS
FORECAST BY THE MODELS TO PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE NORTHERN AREA
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY.
RAIN CHANCES WILL RAPIDLY DIMINISH AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY. SLIGHTLY
COOLER AND DRIER AIR (HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90) IS
EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY. WILL CARRY A SLIGHT CHANCE POP FAR WEST
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BUT NOT EXPECTING MUCH IF ANY ACTIVITY DUE TO
THE ADVECTION OF DRIER AIR. THERE COULD A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS WARM ADVECTION OCCURS WITH THE RETREATING WARM
FRONT BUT WILL KEEP DRY UNTIL THERE IS BETTER SUPPORT IN THE
MODELS. THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL RETURN QUICKLY ON THURSDAY AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS AND 850 MB TEMPS RECOVER TO >/= 20C AND
PRODUCES HIGHS INLAND IN THE MIDDLE 90S. WILL CARRY A SMALL POP FOR
DIURNAL CONVECTION WITH MOST OF THE MODELS ONLY INDICATING
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY. THE HEAT CONTINUES
FRIDAY. THE INLAND/LEE/THERMAL TROUGH WILL SHARPEN AND MOVE INTO
THE COASTAL PLAIN WHICH COULD ENHANCE AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY. HEAT INDEX VALUES BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE AOA
105 DEGREES AND HEAT ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED.

THE PERSISTENT NE UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO AMPLIFY AGAIN OVER
THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A WEAKENING SURFACE COLD
FRONT JUMPING INTO THE LEE TROUGH POSITION AND STALLING AND
EVENTUALLY DISSIPATING. THIS WILL LEAD TO SLIGHTLY COOLER/NEAR
SEASONABLE/ TEMPERATURES WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 750 PM MON...SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA WILL
DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING. ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY AFFECT PGV...ISO
AND EWN BUT STAY MAINLY NORTH OF OAJ. STORMS WILL DIMINISH IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY LATE THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL KEEP THE
BOUNDARY LAYER MIXED WELL ENOUGH SO DID NOT INCLUDE MENTION OF
FOG.

SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH HIGHER
GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY. WHILE MODELS
STILL HINT AT FOG/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT UNDER CLEARING SKIES
OVERNIGHT...HAVE NOT BOUGHT INTO IT. GIVEN A POSSIBLE SHORTWAVE
TONIGHT...CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY NOT FULLY DECOUPLE MAKING THE
POSSIBILITY EVEN LESS. EXPECT SOME BLOWOFF FROM UPSTREAM
CONVECTION TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...INTO TOMORROW
MORNING. MODELS ALSO HINT AT ANOTHER SHORTWAVE RIDING THE RIDGE
ACROSS SE VA/NE NC TOMORROW MORNING...TO THE NE OF THE TAF SITES.
EXPECT DIURNAL CU TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY....PREDOMINANT VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
OUTSIDE OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND BRIEF EARLY MORNING FOG OR
STRATUS. DIRER AIR IS FORECAST TO BRIEFLY BE OVER THE AREA FROM

BETTER COVERAGE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED.
