AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
437 PM EDT THU AUG 9 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH THE REGION FRIDAY...THEN STALL
OVER THE AREA THIS WEEKEND. THE FRONT WILL PUSH OFFSHORE EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER WEAK FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA FOR THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 330 PM THURSDAY...BROAD UPPER TROUGHING CONTINUES ACROSS
THE ERN CONUS WITH SWLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS ERN NC. SHORTWAVE
RIDGING PASSING OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE OFFSHORE
AS A ROBUST SHORTWAVE PRESENTLY OVER THE DEEP SOUTH APPROACHES
TONIGHT. A STRONGER SHORTWAVE PRESENTLY DIVING SWD ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES WILL STRENGTHEN LOW PRES OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
WITH AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE TENN RIVER VALLEY
TONIGHT.

ISOLATED SHOWERS STILL POSSIBLE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE THIS
AFTERNOON...MAINLY W OF HIGHWAY 17...BUT MAINLY QUIET TROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS.

WILL SEE INCREASING MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS
THE SRN SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES PLACING THE REGION IN THE
RIGHT ENTRANCE OF AN UPPER JET STREAK WITH PW'S RISING TO ABOVE
2" AND EXPECT SCT SHOWERS TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL INITIALLY BE LIGHT AS THE COLUMN MOISTENS.
EXPECT LOWS IN THE L/M70S WITH LIGHT SWLY FLOW AS GRADIENTS
TIGHTEN AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND NOT ANTICIPATING ANY FOG
DEVELOPMENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM THU...ERN NC REMAINS IN A REGION OF FAVORABLE JET
DYNAMICS FRI WITH HIGH PW AIRMASS IN PLACE AND EXPECT ONGOING
SCATTERED SHOWERS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. THE COLD FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO APPROACH THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY MOVING INTO THE
APPALACHIANS BY LATE IN THE DAY. EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
TSTMS TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE CAROLINAS AS THE
AIRMASS DESTABILIZES AND COULD SEE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP
WITH MODEST BULK SHEAR AROUND 30-35 KT. THE LIMITING FACTOR FOR
SEVERE WILL LIKELY BE THE DEGREE OF INSOLATION REALIZED AS THERE
WILL LIKELY BE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA. THE PRIMARY
SEVERE THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS BUT MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL OR
AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. ADDITIONALLY A PRE-
FRONTAL CONVECTIVE LINE OF SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT REGION AND ADVANCE TOWARD THE REGION LATE IN THE PERIOD.
LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES WILL CHANGE LITTLE FROM TODAY BUT WITH
GREATER CLOUD COVER EXPECT HIGHS A FEW DEGREES COOLER WITH HIGHS
IN THE U80S INLAND TO M80S ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 303 PM THU...STRONG UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES AREA FOR
THE WEEKEND. ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BUT WILL MAKE FOR A WET PERIOD. PWS NEAR 2
INCHES AND SLOW MOVEMENT SO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALLS ARE POSSIBLE.
FRONT WILL MAKE A RUN FOR THE COAST ON SUNDAY...MODELS IN
DISAGREEMENT ON PLACEMENT OF FRONT. ECMWF BRINGS THE FRONT THROUGH
THE COAST SUNDAY WHILE OTHERS KEEP IT TO THE WEST. HAVE KEPT IT IN
WESTERN SECTIONS OF CWA ON SUNDAY. WILL HAVE A LULL ON ACTIVITY ON
SUNDAY AS UPPER TROUGH LIFTS OUT. THEN NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES
TUESDAY. THIS SYSTEM DOESNT APPEAR TO BE AS STRONG AS THE PREVIOUS
ONE...HAVE KEPT POPS ON THE SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE RANGE. ECMWF
BRINGS THIS FRONT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WITH A RETURN
TO SOUTHERN FLOW ON THURSDAY. LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES SUPPORT
HIGH TEMPS NEAR CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD...GENERALLY MID 80S TO
LOWER 90S.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 100 PM THURSDAY...A DIGGING MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER
THE GREAT LAKES EXTENDING SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE GULF COAST WILL
CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EASTWARD. AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED
FRONT...MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL SLOWLY INCREASE WITH THE
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN BEGINNING TO SATURATE EARLY FRIDAY. GIVEN
THIS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE WAY TO SUB-VFR CRITERIA
FRIDAY MID-DAY AS THE FRONT APPROACHES CENTRAL TN. MODELS SUGGEST
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY AS A
SHORTWAVE ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. FEEL VICINITY SHOWERS
EARLY WITH VICINITY TO MORE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING BY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE AND BECOME
GUSTY BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE BECOMES BETTER
MIXED WITH SUFFICIENT PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE. WANT TO MENTION
THAT FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT DOES NOT SEEM LIKELY GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER IN PLACE AND POTENTIAL FOR LIMITED
DECOUPLING.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 306 PM THU...UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS LIKELY AND IFR POSSIBLE WITH REDUCED CIGS/VIS IN AREAS OF
RAINFALL. VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT AS THIS SYSTEM
LIFTS OUT...BUT COULD HAVE MVFR/IFR IN LOW CLOUDS OR FOG MONDAY
MORNING WITH WET GROUND. NEXT SYSTEM WILL APPROACH ON TUESDAY...BUT
ACTIVITY APPEARS TO BE MORE ISOLATED SO WILL BE MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM THU...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE APPROACHING THE
WATERS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH PRES GRADIENTS TIGHTENING
BRINGING STRONGER SWLY FLOW AND BUILDING SEAS. WINDS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE TO 10-20 KT BY AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND TO 15-25 KT
FRI AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALLOW SEAS TO BUILD ACCORDINGLY TO 3-5 FT
TONIGHT AND 4-7 FT BY LATE FRI MORNING. MEDIUM PERIOD 9 SEC SWELL
WILL BE OVERSHADOWED BY A FRESH WIND WAVE AROUND 5-6 SECONDS LATE
TONIGHT AND FRI. STRONGEST WINDS AND HIGHEST SEAS WILL BE SOUTH
OF OREGON INLET AND WILL ISSUE A SCA FOR ALL WATERS BUT ALBEMARLE
SOUND FOR NOW.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 311 PM THU...SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE AREA SATURDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING THE AREA TO
THE WEST. GRADIENT BETWEEN THE TWO WILL BE TIGHT ENOUGH FOR
CONTINUED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY.
25 TO 30 KNOTS POSSIBLE WITH SEAS REACH UPWARDS OF 7 FEET IN THE
OUTER WATERS. SPEEDS WILL FALL OFF SATURDAY NIGHT AS FRONT
DISSIPATES. A WEAKER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA TUESDAY.

THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK.
