AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
357 PM EDT SUN MAY 13 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
OFFSHORE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE WEATHER
THROUGH TONIGHT. DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE AND IT"S ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT OVER THE DEEP SOUTH WILL TRACK SLOWLY NORTHEAST TOWARD THE
CAROLINAS THROUGH TUESDAY AND SHOULD BE OFF THE COAST BY
WEDNESDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP SOUTH OF THE AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OFF OF THE SOUTHEAST
COAST FRIDAY AND LINGER OFF THE COAST THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.
UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED EARLY IN THE WEEK THEN AGAIN FROM
LATE NEXT WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 355 PM SUNDAY...MAIN CHANGE TO PREVIOUS THINKING WAS TO ADD
POPS IN TO THE FORECAST TONIGHT. FIRST INSTALLMENT WAS A SLIGHT
CHANCE POP WEST OF HIGHWAY 17 FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT VERY LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY
ADVANCING OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN. A WEAK SHORTWAVE IS MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION WITH DECENT UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE...HOWEVER...THERE IS SHARP MOISTURE GRADIENT EVIDENT
ACROSS EASTERN NC WITH THE OFFSHORE SURFACE RIDGE CONTINUING TO
KEEP MOST OF EASTERN NC DRY THROUGH THE EVENING. LATE TONIGHT
ANOTHER APPROACHING SHORTWAVE AND LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION WILL
LEAD TO ASCENT AND MOISTURE WILL SURGE NORTH INTO MOST OF EASTERN
NC WEST OF THE OUTER BANKS AS A WEAK BUT MOIST AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE ADVANCES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. HAVE INTRODUCED CHANCE POPS
WEST (HIGHEST WEST OF HIGHWAY 17) TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EAST
AROUND 09Z. SKIES WILL BE CLOUDY AND A LIGHT SOUTH BREEZE IS
EXPECTED IN MOST LOCATIONS WHICH WILL KEEP LOW TEMPERATURES ON THE
MILD SIDE WITH READINGS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
AS OF 355 PM SUNDAY...SPC CONTINUES TO HAVE EASTERN NC IN "SEE
TEXT" FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER MONDAY. LAPSE RATES LOOK TOO WEAK FOR
A WIDESPREAD EVENT BUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUST/HAIL REPORT
NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE SOME INSOLATION AND
A HIGHER DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION. ANOTHER SERIES OF WEAK IMPULSES
WILL IMPINGE ON A VERY MOIST AIRMASS WITH PW VALUES >1.5" EXPECTED
IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE WEAK LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY ADVANCE
TOWARD THE CAROLINAS. EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME
MORE NUMEROUS AS THE DAY GOES ON. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WILL OCCUR
ESPECIALLY AREAS WEST OF HIGHWAY 17. WILL INDICATE HIGHS AROUND 80
AS WE ARE BANKING ON AT LEAST SOME FILTERED SUNSHINE DURING THE
COURSE OF THE DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 355 PM SUNDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY DEEPEN AS IT
APPROACHES FROM THE EARLY IN THE PERIOD. SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL LIFT
NORTHEAST ALONG THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS MON NIGHT WHILE SFC LOW
PRESSURE SLIDES NORTHEAST FROM NORTHERN SC INTO CENTRAL VA. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE A WEAK LLJ AROUND 25 KTS WITH PWATS INCREASING TO
1.60-1.70 INCHES...NEARLY 2 SD ABOVE NORMAL FOR MID MAY. MAINTAINED
LIKELY POPS MON NIGHT TRENDING BACK TO CHANCE POPS FOR INLAND AREAS
AND LIKELY OFF THE COAST AS BEST CONVERGENCE PUSH EAST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. MAIN SURFACE TROUGH WILL CROSS THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST
LATE TUES NIGHT...WITH BETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN 12Z GFS AND ECMWF.
WENT BELOW GUIDANCE ON MAX TEMPS AND ABOVE GUIDANCE ON LOW TEMPS DUE
TO CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP.

UNSETTLED CONDITIONS TO PERSIST WED AND THURS AS THE SURFACE FRONT
STALLS OFF/ALONG THE COAST AND THE POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH
TAKES ITS TIME CROSSING NORTH OF THE REGION. MODELS DIVERGE WITH
POTENTIAL SYSTEM AT THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH THE ECMWF BEING THE
PREFERRED SOLUTION WHICH PLACES A DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW WELL OFF
THE SC/NC COAST.  GIVEN UNCERTAINTY HAVE MADE MINOR TWEAKS BEYOND
THURS AND MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE 20 PERCENT POPS FOR SOUTH AND
EASTERN PORTIONS DUE TO LEAN TOWARDS LOW DEVELOPMENT OFF THE
SOUTHEASTERN COAST LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. TEMPS THROUGH THE
EXTENDED WILL BE CLOSE TO OR JUST BELOW CLIMO WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S AND LOWS IN THE LOWER/MID 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM SUNDAY...VFR CONDITIONS WITH CEILINGS 4000-5000 FT
FORECAST THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS OF 15-20
KT. OVERNIGHT THE BOUNDARY LAYER BECOMES MOIST AND 12Z SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THAT MVFR CEILINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER 03Z ESPECIALLY
AT KEWN/KOAJ. GUIDANCE KEEPS THE BEST MOISTURE AND FORCING TO THE
WEST SO WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION OUT OF THE FORECAST THOUGH A STRAY
SHOWER IS POSSIBLE. ON MONDAY CEILINGS WILL RISE ABOVE 3000 FT
WITH HEATING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ESPECIALLY AFTER 18Z WHEN MVFR TO LOCAL IFR
CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL GUST TO 20 KT OUT OF THE
SOUTH FROM MID MORNING ON.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 355 PM SUNDAY...PRECIP CHANCES INCREASE MON NIGHT AS SURFACE
TROUGH BECOMES DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION. EXPECT AVIATION CONDITIONS
TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR/IFR AT TIMES MON NIGHT THROUGH TUES IN MOD TO
HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS SURFACE FRONT SLOWLY CROSSES WEST
TO EAST. FRONT FINALLY PUSHES OFFSHORE WED MORNING THEN STALLS
OFFSHORE THROUGH THURS. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OFF THE COAST LATE
WEEK WITH EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW WHICH MAY BRING IN LOWER CEILINGS
LATE WEEK.
