AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
137 PM EDT SAT SEP 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST TODAY AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WITH COOL HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN THROUGH MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THIS AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 130 PM SAT...HIGH PRES ANALYZED OFF THE NC COAST THIS
AFTERNOON. CIRRUS BEGINNING TO FINALLY ERODE SOMEWHAT...AND SKIES
ARE PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY ACROSS EASTERN NC. SHOULD SEE MAINLY
LOW 80S AROUND THE AREA... WITH A FEW MID 80S WHERE A BIT MORE
SUNSHINE IS EXPERIENCED ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTIES. TIGHTENING
GRADIENT BETWEEN GREAT LAKES TROUGH AND OFFSHORE HIGH WILL LEAD TO
INC SW WINDS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS STILL EXPECTED IN THE 15
TO 20 MPH RANGE...DIMINISHING TOWARDS LATE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 220 AM SAT...COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NW LATE
TONIGHT AND WILL SEE INCREASING CLOUDS AHEAD OF/ASSOCIATE WITH THE
FRONT BY LATE EVENING. BEST FORCING/VORT ENERGY AND SURFACE
CONVERGENCE WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE MOISTURE WILL ALSO BE LIMITED...SO HAVE MAINTAINED ONLY
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS WITH BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. INSTABILITY ALSO APPEARS LIMITED SO
HAVE KEPT OUT MENTION OF THUNDER AS CONFIDENCE IS LOW. TEMPS
OVERNIGHT WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S INLAND...WITH
UPPER 60S ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 305 AM SATURDAY...THE EASTERN US UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN
THROUGH THE PERIOD BUT LOSE AMPLITUDE BY MID WEEK. THE INITIAL
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH OF THE REGION SUNDAY MORNING FOLLOWED
BY A NORTHERLY FLOW OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST THROUGH
TUESDAY. THE TAIL END OF A STRONG SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE UPPER TROUGH
WILL CROSS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT BUT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE QUITE
DRY AND WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST OVER LAND BUT INDICATE A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. HIGHS SUNDAY
WILL BE THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 70S AND LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S MONDAY
WHICH ID FORECAST TO BE THE COOLEST DAY OF THE WEEK. BOTH DAYS A BRISK
NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND IS EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST.

ALMOST ZONAL FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AND THE SURFACE HIGH
WEAKENS AND DRIFTS SOUTH OF THE AREA. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL
AMPLIFY THE UPPER TROUGH THURSDAY AS A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE AREA. THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT. THERE ARE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES AMONG THE
MODELS WITH THE THU SYSTEM SO DETAILS ARE SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...BUT
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A LIMITING FACTOR AND AM NOT EXPECTING
MUCH QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM.

A GRADUAL WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED TUE-THU AS HIGH PRES BUILDS
IN...THEN SLIDES OFFSHORE WITH SLY RETURN DEVELOPING WED AND THU.
THU LOOKS TO BE THE WARMEST DAY WITH HIGHS REACHING THE M80S MOST
INLAND LOCATIONS...THEN A CATEGORY OR SO COOLER FRI WITH WEAK CAA
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM SAT...SCT-BKN CIRRUS WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON. SW
SURFACE GRADIENT BETWEEN RIDGE OFFSHORE AND COLD FRONT APPROACHING
FROM THE NW MAY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS OF 15-18 KNOTS DURING PEAK
MIXING THIS AFTERNOON. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
OVERNIGHT...THOUGH LIMITED MOISTURE WILL KEEP CONDITIONS DRY WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. JUST SOME INC IN MID CLOUDS IS EXPECTED.
WINDS TURN NORTH AFTER 9Z...WITH JUST SOME SCT STRATO CU
DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED ON SUNDAY.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 305 AM SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE PERIOD. THERE WILL BE LITTLE IF ANY MOISTURE FOR A SHORTWAVE
TO WORK WITH TO PRODUCE PRECIPITATION AS IT CROSSES THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DOMINATE THE
WEATHER THROUGH MID WEEK. BREEZY NORTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
THE AREA SUN INTO MON AS HIGH PRES BUILDS IN FROM THE NW.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 130 PM SAT...LATEST SURFACE AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
SW WINDS AROUND 10 KT... WITH SEAS 3-4 FT NORTH OF DIAMOND SHOALS
AND 1-3 FT SOUTH. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10-15 KNOTS DUE TO
SURFACE GRADIENT DEVELOPING BETWEEN HIGH OFFSHORE AND A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NW. SWELL ENERGY WILL ALSO BE PRESENT THROUGH
TONIGHT IN THE FORM OF 2-3 FT AROUND 10 SECONDS FROM THE EAST.
LATEST WAVEWATCH III APPEARED REASONABLE FOR THE SHORT TERM.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 305 PM FRIDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
OVER THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WATERS LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
EVENING. MODERATE NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW OF 15 TO 20 KT IS
FORECAST TO DEVELOP BEHIND A COLD FRONT AS HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY
BUILDS OVER THE WATERS SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THESE WINDS COULD REACH
25 KT OVER THE CENTRAL WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS COLD
ADVECTION OCCURS OVER THE STILL WARM SHELF WATERS. THE SWAN AND
WAVEWATCH MODELS BUILD SEAS UP TO 5-7 FT SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
AS THE HIGH MOVES OVER THE WATERS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WINDS
WILL DIMINISH TO 15 KT OR LESS WITH SEAS SUBSIDING TO 4 FT OR
LESS.
