AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
328 PM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

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

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM TUE...THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING LATE
THIS AFTERNOON...AS RAPID INTENSIFICATION OCCURRING WEST OF
RALEIGH AREA. EASTERN NC IS PRIMED FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS SFC CAPE VALS
HAVE INC TO AOA 5000 J/KG WITH LI'S OF -11. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH
POSSIBLE SIGNIFICANT WIND DAMAGE WITH THE STORMS...WITH WIND GUSTS
UP TO 80 MPH. THUNDERSTORMS JUST WEST OF RALEIGH EXHIBITING RADAR
ESTIMATED WINDS ABOVE 70KT. RESIDENTS OF E NC ARE URGED TO CLOSELY
PAY ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS THAT MAY BE
ISSUED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. BEST ESTIMATE ON
TIMING OF STORMS IS AROUND 21Z ACROSS THE WEST (GREENVILLE TO
DUPLIN COUNTY)...TO 23Z NEAR THE COAST. THE STORMS SHOULD QUICKLY EXIT
THE AREA LATE THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM TUE...HIGH PRES AT THE SFC AND ALOFT WILL NOSE INTO E
NC ON WED...BRINGING TEMPORARY RELIEF TO THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY.
THE ATMOSPHERE WILL STABILIZE...SO NO THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED.
TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL THOUGH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE QUITE
A BIT LOWER.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...THE INLAND PIEDMONT TROUGH WILL SET UP
ONCE AGAIN FOR THURSDAY AS UPPER RIDGE STARTS TO BREAK DOWN ON
FRIDAY. GIVEN SOUTHWESTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW AND RISING 500 MB
HEIGHTS...THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE RATHER HOT WITH MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 90S WITH DEWPOINTS LIKELY TO BE IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 70S...SO HEAT ADVISORIES WILL BE QUITE LIKELY.
EXPECT ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEA BREEZE INITIATED CONVECTION ON
THESE TWO DAYS. BROAD TROUGH WILL SET UP ALONG THE US EAST COAST
FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A
WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY TRYING TO DRIFT INTO AT LEAST OUR NORTHERN
CWA SATURDAY BEFORE DISSIPATING. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE
ANOTHER BOUNDARY DROPPING INTO OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES ON
SUNDAY...AGAIN BEFORE DISSIPATING. THINK THE PRESENCE OF THIS
BOUNDARY WILL SOMEWHAT ENHANCE PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL AND HAVE
GONE WITH CHC POPS FOR BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. DEEP S/SW FLOW RETURNS FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY OF NEXT
WEEK WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION NEAR THE SEA BREEZE BOTH
DAYS. TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND INTO TUESDAY WILL REMAIN NEAR
CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S
AND MINS MAINLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 130 PM TUES...A COMPLEX SHORTWAVE IS STARTING TO MOVE INTO
SW VA AND NW NC AND WILL CONTINUE TO MIGRATE TOWARD THE AREA. THIS
WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE POTENTIAL OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

CURRENTLY...CONDITIONS ACROSS EASTERN NC ARE PLEASANT WITH NOT MUCH
CLOUD COVER AND GREAT VSBYS. THIS TREND WILL QUICKLY CHANGE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AS A SHORTWAVE APPROACHES FROM THE NW. WITH INSTABILITY
IN PLACE AND A SUFFICIENT LIFTING MECHANISM COMING
THROUGH...EXPECT WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY FROM 4PM TO
MIDNIGHT. STRONG WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM WITH WINDS
AROUND 15 KTS GUSTING AOA 35 KTS. THIS WILL CAUSE A CROSSWIND
EFFECT AT SOME TAF LOCATION WITH A NE/SW ORIENTED RUNWAYS. WHILE
VFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED...IF A SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM PASSES AT OR
NEAR A TAF SITE IT WILL LIKELY REDUCE VSBYS AND CIGS TO MVFR/IFR
CRITERIA. THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE OFFSHORE TONIGHT WITH SOME
RESIDUAL STRATUS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. SOUTHERLY SWLY
FLOW AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL VEER TO THE NE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING
AS THE SYSTEM EXITS. WHILE DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS AGAIN ARE
SIGNALING FOG/LOW STRATUS...GIVEN CLOUD COVER...WINDS AND RECENT
CLIMO...DO NOT THINK THIS WILL OCCUR. SKIES WILL CLEAR WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH SOME SCU DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...THINK CONVECTION WILL BE AT A RELATIVE
MINIMUM THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS
ANTICIPATED. PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE A BIT FOR THE WEEKEND
AS UPPER TROUGH DIGS SOUTH ALONG THE EAST COAST AND WEAK BOUNDARY
MEANDERS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN CWA. THINK SOME MVFR CONDITIONS WILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH SHOWERS/TSTMS OVER THE WEEKEND. THERE WILL ALSO
BE THE USUAL LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING STRATUS AND FOG
POTENTIAL.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 315 PM TUE...LINGERING 6 FT SEAS AT DIAMOND SHOALS WILL
SUBSIDE LATE THIS EVENING...SO WILL LET SCA EXPIRE AS SCHUDULED
AROUND 09Z. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY WED MORNING AS A COOL
FRONT DROPS INTO THE AREA...THOUGH REMAIN SUB SCA. WINDS BECOME
LIGHT LATE IN THE DAY AS THE HIGH BUILDS IN.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...A WEAK EAST-WEST ORIENTED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL SINK SOUTH INTO OUR NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS SATURDAY BEFORE
DISSIPATING. ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MAKE A RUN AT THE
NORTHERN COASTAL AREAS AGAIN SUNDAY...BUT AGAIN SHOULD DISSIPATE.
THIS MAY CAUSE THE WINDS TO HAVE A NORTHERLY COMPONENT FOR A WHILE
ON THOSE DAYS...BUT IN GENERAL...THE SYNOPTIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE
S/SW THROUGH THE PERIOD AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS...WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS
TO 20 KNOTS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE CENTRAL WATERS. PER THE LATEST
WAVEWATCH 4 AND LOCAL SWAN MODELS...COMBINED SEAS SHOULD RANGE
FROM 2 TO 4 FEET WITH OCCASIONAL 5 FOOTERS OVER THE CENTRAL WATERS
THROUGH THE PERIOD. NO SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
