AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
123 AM EDT MON JUL 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STALLED FRONT OVER THE AREA WILL MOVE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT
TODAY. ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH
WEDNESDAY AND 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 LATE
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING/...
AS OF 115 AM MON...WEAK BOUNDARY THAT WAS LOCATED FROM WEST TO
EAST ACROSS THE AREA EARLIER THIS EVENING HAS PUSHED OFFSHORE
ALONG WITH CONVECTION BECOMING MINIMIZED EXCEPT NEAR THE OUTER
BANKS AND JUST OFFSHORE OF DUCK. THESE SHOWERS REMAIN WEAK WITH NO
LIGHTNING...AND WILL DIMINISH FURTHER OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
SKIES HAVE BECOME CLEAR IN SOME LOCATIONS WITH FOG OF MIXED
VISIBILITIES BEING OBSERVED INLAND. BIGGEST UPDATE TO ONGOING
FORECAST WAS TO ADD PATCHY FOG INLAND...OTHERWISE ONLY MINOR
TWEAKS TO TEMPS/DEWPOINTS MAINLY FOR INLAND LOCATIONS. LOWS WILL
FALL INTO THE LOW 70S INLAND TO UPPER 70S ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
AS OF 315 PM SUN...SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL BE A BIT MORE PRONOUNCED
ON MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND DEPENDENT ON TIMING OF NEXT SHORTWAVE IN
FAST UPPER FLOW...COULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF MARGINALLY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON PEAK HEATING. DEEP SHEAR LOOKS
TO BE A BIT MORE FAVORABLE AS COMPARED TO TODAY. RAISED POPS TO
THE HIGH CHANCE/SCATTERED CATEGORY FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MAIN
THREAT LOOKS TO BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...NW FLOW ALOFT WILL DOMINATE THE PATTERN FOR
MUCH OF THE PERIOD AS THE REGION REMAINS ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE
CENTRAL US HEAT RIDGE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S EXPECTED EACH DAY INLAND.
THE TOUGHEST PART OF THE FORECAST IS TRYING TO FORECAST WITH
DETAIL THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN VERY
MOIST AND UNSTABLE WHICH WILL SUPPORT TYPICAL SUMMER TIME DIURNAL
CONVECTION. IN ADDITION TO THAT ANY MID LEVEL PERTURBATION WILL
MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS NC AND ENHANCE CONVECTION. THIS TYPE OF
PATTERN IS FAVORABLE FOR MCS DEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM WHICH WOULD THEN
TRACK SE INTO NC TYPICALLY AT NIGHT. HAVE EXTENDED POPS EACH
EVENING THROUGH 06Z TO TRY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS WITH A PERIOD OF
DRY WEATHER LATE AT NIGHT BUT TRYING TO TIME THESE FEATURES IS
FUTILE FAR OUT IN TIME.

A WEAKENING COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PUSH INTO NC LATE TUESDAY
WITH A BRIEF WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH. THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT
THIS FEATURE WILL ENHANCE SEVERE POTENTIAL TUESDAY AS THE AIRMASS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE HOT WITH READINGS IN THE MIDDLE 90S AND
HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 105 DEGREES. THE AIRMASS LOOKS TO BE DRY
AND A LITTLE COOLER WEDNESDAY BEHIND THE WIND SHIFT BUT ALL THE
MOS GUIDANCE STILL WERE FORECASTING HIGHS IN THE 90S ONLY AROUND 3
DEGREES COOLER THAN TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WARM THURSDAY INTO THE
WEEKEND INTO THE MIDDLE 90S INLAND AS 850 MB TEMPS ARE FORECAST
TO BE >/= 20C. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL FLIRT WITH THE 105 DEGREE
ADVISORY CRITERIA THRESHOLD THROUGH THIS PERIOD. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE NC AND SLOWLY DISSIPATE NEXT WEEKEND
PERHAPS ENHANCING CONVECTIVE CHANCES AND INTENSITIES.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 120 AM MON...EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS IN BRIEF/SHALLOW FOG
EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS ALL TAF SITES. WEAK BOUNDARY HAS PUSHED
OFF THE COAST AND SKIES HAVE BECOME CLEAR TO SCATTERED
INLAND...ALLOWING FOR GREATER RADIATIONAL COOLING. NAM12/RUC DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS WILL FALL NEAR ZERO WITH LAPS SOUNDINGS ALREADY
INDICATING A WEAK SURFACE INVERSION...THUS EXPECT WINDS TO
DECOUPLE BRIEFLY WHICH COUPLED WITH MOIST LOW LEVELS...WILL ALLOW
FOR FORMATION OF FOG WITH VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 3SM AT TIMES. ANY
FOG WILL QUICKLY MIX OUT BY SUNRISE MON. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL
CONTINUE MON WITH STRATOCUMULUS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON. ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED CONVECTION POSSIBLE AGAIN...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY....PREDOMINATE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
OUTSIDE OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND BRIEF EARLY MORNING FOG OR
STRATUS.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY/
AS OF 120 AM MON...LATEST SURFACE AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
SW WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS FOR THE PAMLICO SOUND AND CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
WATERS WITH LIGHT WESTERLY FLOW FOR THE ALBEMARLE SOUND AND
NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS. SEAS RANGE 2 TO 4 FT NORTH OF DIAMOND
SHOALS IN A MOSTLY SWELL DOMINATED 8 SECOND SEA HEIGHT...WITH WIND
WAVE DOMINATED 5 SECOND SEAS RANGING 3 TO 4 FT SOUTH OFF ONSLOW
BAY AND CAPE LOOKOUT. NO CHANGE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH THE
EARLY MORNING UPDATE.

EXPECT SW WINDS MAINLY 10-15 KT AND SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET OVERNIGHT IN
THE CONTINUED MODERATE SW FLOW WITH A FEW 5 FOOTERS CONFINED TO
THE OUTER WATERS. THERMAL TROUGH WILL STRENGTHEN INLAND ON MON
AFTERNOON...IN TANDEM WITH SHORTWAVE DIVING IN FROM THE NW. THIS
WILL INCREASE GRADIENT TO NEARLY 20 KT BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH SEAS
BUILDING TO 5 FEET ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTHERN WATERS.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...THE MODERATE SW FLOW WILL PRODUCE SEAS TO
5-7 FT OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL WATERS TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. CONDITIONS ARE THEN FORECAST TO DIMINISH BELOW ADVISORY
LEVELS WEDNESDAY WITH A BRIEF WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH. WINDS WILL
BECOME SOUTHERLY AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
INCREASE AGAIN LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT
APPROACHING COLD FRONT WITH A RETURN TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY.
