AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
345 AM EDT WED JUN 13 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH THURSDAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
AS OF 315 AM WED...LATEST RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES WEAK TO MODERATE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND OFF THE CRYSTAL COAST WITH
WEAK SHOWERS FILLING IN TO THE WEST AND SOUTH AHEAD OF THE LARGER
SCALE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SKIES WILL REMAIN CLOUDY EARLY THIS
MORNING WITH MILD TEMPS...STRUGGLING TO FALL BELOW 70 F. QPF WILL
CONTINUE TO BE TRICKY AS OVERALL PRECIP AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN LIGHT
AND GENERALLY OVERDONE BY MAJORITY OF MODELS...HOWEVER WITH PWATS
NEAR 2 INCHES....LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS NEAR ONE QUARTER TO ONE
HALF OF AN INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE STORMS APPROACHING FROM
THE WEST THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING.

THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST LATE THIS MORNING WITH
PRECIP CHANCES DIMINISHING FROM WEST TO EAST. SURFACE WINDS HAVE
ALREADY BEGUN TO SHIFT WEST...AND WILL CONTINUE TO VEER NW THEN N
AS THE SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY BUILDS SOUTH TODAY
BEHIND THE FRONT. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES EARLY MAY GIVE WAY TO PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES FOR NORTHERN ZONES AS HIGH PRESSURE NOSES SOUTH...BUT
MOST PLACES WILL LIKELY REMAIN CLOUDY FOR TODAY. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES
AROUND 1400-1410 METERS SUGGEST TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WITH
HIGHS IN THE MID 80S INLAND TO UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S ALONG THE COAST
AND OBX.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM TUE... SURFACE FRONT WILL PUSH WELL OFF THE COAST
TONIGHT WITH WINDS VEERING NORTH. ALTHOUGH EXPECT MODERATE CAA
SURGE LATE...15-20 KT...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST STRONG SURFACE
INVERSION WILL INHIBIT THESE WINDS FROM MIXING TO THE SURFACE.
GENERALLY DO NOT EXPECT LOW STRATUS/FOG DEVELOPMENT WITH LOWER
DEWPOINTS SPREADING SOUTH INTO EASTERN NC...HOWEVER CANNOT RULE
OUT BRIEF FOG LATE SHOULD WINDS SUFFICIENTLY DECOUPLE AND DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS FALL NEAR ZERO. WITH LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING A FEW
HUNDRED MILES OFF THE NC COAST...SKY COVER AND POP/WX FORECAST
REMAINS TRICKY. LATEST GFS/ECMWF/SREF TRIES TO WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
THAT COULD PRODUCE WEAK SHOWERS FOR THE NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF
EASTERN NC LATE TONIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR FAR
EASTERN PORTIONS TONIGHT AND WILL LEAVE OUT MENTION OF THUNDER AS
ATMOS WILL LACK INSTABILITY FOR STRONGER CONVECTION. COOLER
NORTHERLY FLOW WILL HELP TO REDUCE TEMPS OVERNIGHT...LOW TO MID
60S INLAND TO UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S ALONG THE COAST AND OBX.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN
CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS INDICATING SOME LIGHT WRAP
AROUND PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
ALONG COLD FRONT OFFSHORE DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. WILL
CONTINUE THIS TREND AND INDICATE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER MOST OF
THE CWA. THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIGHT WITH QPF ONLY A COUPLE OF
HUNDREDTHS. AS THE LOW DROPS SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AND
SURFACE RIDGING BUILDS DOWN THE EAST COAST FROM NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND...EXPECT IMPROVING WEATHER WITH YET ANOTHER IN A SERIES OF
NICE WEEKENDS. TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY WILL BE
ABOUT 3 TO 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE UPPER
70S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH LOWS IN THE COMFORTABLE UPPER 50S TO
MIDDLE 60S. AN UPPER LOW WELL OFFSHORE WILL RETROGRADE BACK TOWARD
THE COAST AND COULD BE A WILD CARD IN THE FORECAST FOR THE LATTER
HALF OF THE WEEKEND...BUT WILL AWAIT BETTER MODEL CONSISTENCY.
THIS LOW MAY BRING SOME CLOUDINESS TO COASTAL SECTIONS FOR SUNDAY
AND MONDAY. UPPER HEIGHTS BUILD AGAIN BY TUESDAY WITH A MORE SOUTHERLY
SURFACE FLOW COMPONENT PUSHING MAX TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 120 AM WED...EXPECT UNFAVORABLE AVIATION CONDITIONS THROUGH
MID MORNING TODAY. LOW STRATUS HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS ALL TAF SITES
WITH OAJ/PGV FALLING TO IFR/LIFR IN CEILINGS 400-700 FT. EXPECT
CEILINGS TO LOWER FOR EWN/ISO TO IFR LEVELS OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS AHEAD OF WEAK SHOWERS/CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAIN
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WEST OF EASTERN NC. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN 3-5 KT
WHICH SHOULD INHIBIT SIGNIFICANT FOG FORMATION ALTHOUGH CANNOT
RULE OUT 3-5SM FOG AS BOUNDARY LAYER REMAINS MOIST WITH DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS RANGING 0-2 F AND EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR ZERO THROUGH
11/12Z. COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE REGION TODAY WITH
IMPROVING AVIATION CONDITIONS...BACK TO VFR BY 18-21Z FROM WEST TO
EAST. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND LIGHT
SHOWERS MAY AFFECT THE TAF SITES ON THURSDAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY
OF MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS. THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD
WILL BE PRIMARILY VFR WITH HIGH PRESSURE RIDING SOUTH FROM NEW
ENGLAND. AS USUAL...THERE MAY BE SOME BRIEF PERIODS OF LATE NIGHT
OR EARLY MORNING STRATUS AND FOG THAT WILL REDUCE CEILINGS AND
VSBY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM WED...LATEST SURFACE AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS 10-20 KNOTS WITH HIGHER WINDS LOCATED
ACROSS THE CENTRAL WATERS/OBX. SEAS RANGE 2 TO 4 FT NORTH TO 3 TO 5
FT SOUTH...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER SEAS POSSIBLE IN CONVECTION OFF THE
CRYSTAL COAST REGION TO NEAR THE BIG ROCK AND DIAMOND SHOALS. COLD
FRONT REMAINS WEST OF THE WATERS ACROSS THE PIEDMONT OF NC EARLY
THIS MORNING. SHOWERS WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
OFF THE SOUTHERN WATERS THIS MORNING...WITH MORE SHOWERS
DEVELOPING INLAND AHEAD/ASSOCIATED WITH MAIN FRONTAL SYSTEM.

WINDS WILL VEER WEST THEN NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT BY THIS EVENING.
HOISTED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR MODERATE SURGE OF NORTHERLY WINDS
EXPECTED FOR THE NORTHERN WATERS TONIGHT AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
BEHIND THE FRONT ONCE IT MOVES OFFSHORE. WINDS WILL INCREASE 20-25
KT FOR THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN WATERS LATE TONIGHT WITH SEAS
BUILDING AT OR ABOVE 6 FT IN WIND-WAVE DOMINATED SEAS. HEDGED
TOWARDS AN ADJUSTED SWAN OUTPUT FOR SEAS AS GFS-BASED WAVEWATCH
III WINDS/SEAS APPEARED OVERDONE AND TOO SOON FOR SEAS ABOVE 5 FT.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 310 AM WEDNESDAY...AS WAVE OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ON THE
COLD FRONT STRENGTHENS OFFSHORE...EXPECT GUSTY NE WINDS AND
BUILDING SEAS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW. LATEST WAVEWATCH AND
LOCAL SWAN GUIDANCE ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT SHOWING THE MAXIMUM
COMBINED SEAS TO OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH SEAS PEAKING
AS HIGH AS 9 TO 10 FEET OVER THE CENTRAL WATERS. WITH THE SURFACE
LOW DRIFTING SLOWLY SOUTH OVER THE WEEKEND IN CONCERT WITH THE
1020+ MB HIGH SETTING UP FROM NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND INTO THE
CENTRAL CAROLINAS...GRADIENT WILL REMAIN SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT 15
TO 20 KNOT WINDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH SEAS SUBSIDE TO 4
TO 5 OR 6 FEET BY SUNDAY.

EAST-NORTHEAST SWELL ENERGY ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASING WINDS WILL
KEEP THE RIP CURRENT THREAT MODERATE NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS TODAY.
