AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
355 AM EST WED DEC 5 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND
MOVE SOUTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE IN FROM
THE NORTH FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE AREA TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 345 AM WEDNESDAY...AIRMASS GRADUALLY UNDERGOING A
TRANSFORMATION OVER EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA AS S/SW WINDS CONTINUE
TO ADVECT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION AS A COLD FRONT
SLOWLY ADVANCES EAST FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS
AND TENNESSEE. DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY RUNNING IN THE
MIDDLE 50S ACROSS THE REGION AND THIS IS LIKEWISE HOLDING
TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 50S EARLY THIS MORNING. AS THE FRONT
PROGRESSES TOWARD THE EAST...THE RAP...NAM12..GFS AND ECMWF ALL
INDICATE WIDELY SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS ACROSS THE MHX CWA. GIVEN
A MOSTLY ZONAL UPPER-LEVEL FLOW...THE UPPER SUPPORT IS MINIMAL AND
ANY PRECIPITATION WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERGENCE ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND ISENTROPIC PROCESSES. EXPECT A LIGHT QPF
EVENT WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHS EXPECTED AND GIVEN THE SCATTERED
NATURE OF THE PRECIP...WILL HAVE ONLY LOW CHC POPS IN THE
FORECAST. WITH SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE AHEAD OF THE FRONT EARLY
TODAY...THINK HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE MIDDLE AND UPPER
60S IN MOST PLACES...WITH A FEW SPOTS ALONG THE SOUTHERN COAST
REACHING THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...
AS OF 345 AM WEDNESDAY...THE MAIN AXIS OF PRECIPITABLE WATER AND
MODEL QPF SHIFTS TO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES AFTER 6 PM TONIGHT AND
HAVE CARRIED LOW POPS INTO LATE TONIGHT IN THOSE AREAS. STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL KICK IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND THIS SHOULD
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S TO MIDDLE 40S OVER
MOST AREAS...WITH GUSTY N/NNE WINDS MAKING THINGS FEEL EVEN A BIT
COOLER TOWARD MORNING ON THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM WED...FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD...THURSDAY WILL BRING
COOL TEMPERATURES... THEN WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

SFC COOL FRONT WILL BE SOUTH OF THE CRYSTAL COAST ON THURSDAY WITH
HIGH PRES RIDGING DOWN THE COAST BRINGING BRISK NORTHEASTERLY WINDS.
HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH 50 ACROSS INLAND LOCALES...WITH MID 50S
ALONG THE COAST. TRICKY CLOUD COVER FCST...AS WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FCST AREA KEEPS MAINLY CLOUDY
CONDITIONS...WHILE TO THE NORTH SUNSHINE WILL PREVAIL. HARD TO SAY
RIGHT NOW WHERE THE BOUNDARY WILL BE EXACTLY...THOUGH THE CLOUD
COVER WILL PLAY A ROLE IN MAX TEMPERATURES ON THUR...WITH PLACES
SEEING MORE SUN HAVING THE HIGHER TEMPS.

THE COOL DOWN WILL BE SHORT LIVED...AS BY FRIDAY SFC HIGH EXITS
EASTWARD WITH WINDS VEERING EAST THEN SOUTH...BRINGING IN WARMER AND
MORE HUMID CONDITIONS. MODELS HAVE BEEN IN GENERAL GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH INVERTED COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPING FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY... AND
THIS WILL BRING SHOWER CHANCES ESP TO COASTAL AREAS. COULD BE SOME
EMBEDDED THUNDER AS WELL WITH MODELS INDICATING SOME INSTABILITY SO
HAVE KEPT THUNDER MENTION IN GRIDS. BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP LOOK TO
BE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SAT. PWATS WILL BE QUITE HIGH FOR EARLY
DEC...REACHING 1.25 INCHES OR HIGHER WITH MIX BNDRY LAYER MIX RATIOS
~11 G/KG.

UPR RIDGE BUILDS LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY...WITH LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS VALS APPROACHING OR EXCEEDING 1380M...WHICH WOULD
TRANSLATE TO MAX TEMPS REACHING WELL INTO THE 70S AND PERHAPS
NEARING 80 DEGREES...WHICH WOULD BE IN RECORD HIGH TERRITORY. MODEL
GUIDANCE IN THE LONG RANGE SUFFERS FROM TREND TOWARDS CLIMO...SO
THEIR ADVERTISED HIGHS IN THE LOW 70S SEEM TO BE COOL BIASED. TEMPS
AT NIGHT WILL REMAIN VERY WARM...IN THE MID 50S OR HIGHER...DUE TO
THE WARM AND MUGGY ATMOSPHERE.

BOTH OPERATIONAL GFS AND ECMWF HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING
LARGE STORM SYSTEM ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...THOUGH DIFFERENCES
REMAIN IN TIMING OF THE TRAILING COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH THROUGH E
NC. THE FRONT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING A GOOD BOUT OF RAIN
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO E NC AS THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL BE OPEN FOR
BUSINESS. THE GFS PUSHES THE FRONT THROUGH LATE MONDAY...WHILE THE
ECM IS LESS PROGRESSIVE AND PUSHES IT THROUGH LATER TUESDAY. WILL
TREND FCST TOWARDS THE SLOWER SOLN...AS THIS HAS SUPPORT FROM THE
ENSEMBLE MEAN HEIGHT FIELD.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORT TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1230 AM WEDNESDAY...A LIGHT SOUTHWEST BREEZE SHOULD KEEP
THE BOUNDARY LAYER MIXED SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT FOG
FORMATION LATE TONIGHT. THINK THE CLOUD DECKS WILL LOWER DURING
THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY BUT SHOULD REMAIN VFR WITH ONLY LIGHT SHOWERS
ANTICIPATED DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS TODAY.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM WED...MAINLY VFR AT THE TERMINALS. NORTHEAST BREEZE
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY THUR...WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY VFR SKIES
ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TO THE
NORTH. WINDS VEER AROUND TO THE EAST THUR NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...THEN

LATEST WAVEWATCH MODEL SHOWS AN AREA OF 6 FOOT SEAS OVER MAINLY
THE OUTER EDGES OF OUR MARINE ZONES FROM ABOUT 03Z TONIGHT INTO
LATE THURSDAY AND HAVE ACCORDINGLY ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY.
THINK THE SOUNDS WILL SEE WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS FROM THE N/NNE
LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT AND SHOULD STAY BELOW SCA CRITERIA.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM WED...MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS WILL BE ONGOING ACROSS
THE OUTER WATERS THURSDAY MORNING...WITH WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISHING
THROUGH THE DAY...AND SEAS FOLLOWING SUITE AND SUBSIDING BELOW 6

TO SOUTHEAST FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. WINDS WILL GENERALLY
REMAIN BELOW 15 KNOTS THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THOUGH COULD APPROACH 20
