AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
422 AM EST THU DEC 13 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL CONTINUE
TO PUSH NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE REGION TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SEVERAL STORM SYSTEMS
WILL AFFECT THE AREA LATE SUNDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
AS OF 330 AM THURS...LATEST SURFACE/SATELLITE DATA INDICATE
COASTAL LOW OFF THE SC/NC COAST EARLY THIS MORNING SLOWLY PUSHING
ENE AWAY FROM THE REGION. ONE LARGE AREA OF PRECIP CURRENTLY
LOCATED OVER THE CWA WITH A SHORT RESPITE BEFORE ANOTHER AREA OF
PRECIP CROSSES THE REGION FROM THE SW. CLOUDS/PRECIP HAS KEPT
TEMPS COOL WITH UPPER 30S REPORTED INLAND TO UPREAR 40S ACROSS THE
OBX. NE WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT WIND ADVISORY LEVELS...SUSTAINED
30-35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH...AS SURFACE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
BETWEEN THE DEEPENING COASTAL LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
ACROSS THE MID- ATLANTIC STATES. STRONG UPPER SHORTWAVE CONTINUES
TO PUSH NE ACROSS SC INTO NC PIEDMONT AND WILL HELP PUSH THE
SURFACE LOW AWAY FROM THE REGION LATER TODAY. CATEGORICAL POPS
WILL TAPER OFF TO SLIGHT CHANCE FROM WEST TO EAST TODAY AS THE LOW
AND ASSOCIATED PRECIP HEAD OUT TO SEA. WELL A FEW DEGREES BELOW
MOS BLEND FOR TEMPS AS CLOUDS/PRECIP SHOULD PREVENT MUCH
INSOLATION...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S INLAND TO MID/LOWER 50S
FOR THE OBX AND SOUTHERN COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM THURS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES
WILL CONTINUE TO MIGRATE SOUTH OVER EASTERN NC TONIGHT...WITH
SKIES EVENTUALLY BECOMING CLEAR LATE. UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL
HEAD OUT TO SEA AND BECOME REPLACE BY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE A STRONG SURFACE BASED INVERSION TONIGHT. A
MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION BUT MOIST SOILS
FROM RECENT RAINFALL MAY LEAD TO BRIEF FOG/LOW STRATUS PRIOR TO
SUNRISE/MIXING FRI MORNING. HAVE NOT MENTIONED FOG AT THIS TIME
DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DIP A FEW DEGREES BELOW
CLIMO WITH MINS IN THE LOW 30S INLAND TO LOW 40S ACROSS THE OBX.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM THURSDAY...ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO FRI-SUN PERIOD
WAS TO ADD SOME CLOUDINESS ALONG OBX DURING THE DAY FRIDAY...AS
GFS/ECMWF BLEND CONTINUES TO INDICATE SOME NE FLOW SCU SKIRTING THE
AREA. OTHERWISE...MODELS SHOW GOOD CONTINUITY FOR PERIOD WITH
RIDGING PRODUCING DRY WX AND MODERATING TEMPS FRI INTO SAT NIGHT.
WEAK SHRT WV ACTIVITY WILL RESULT IN SOME INCREASING HIGH CLOUDINESS
SAT AND SAT NIGHT...BUT APPEARS PCPN THREAT WITH WAA AND MSTR INFLUX
FROM S-SW WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL SUN AND SUN NIGHT...ALTHOUGH ECMWF
DOES INDICATE SOME LIGHT QPF PSBL OVER NRN SECTIONS 06Z-12Z SUNDAY.

LESS CONFIDENT IN MON-WED PERIOD AS MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE
DIFFERENCES WITH HANDLING OF MID-UPR LVL ENERGY MOVING IN FROM W
COAST...AND RESULTANT SFC LOW DEVELOPMENT AFFECTING ERN NC. ECMWF
HAS SHOWN BETTER CONTINUITY WITH PATTERN...GENERALLY INDICATING
INTIAL SFC LOW AFFECTING AREA ON MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY STRONGER ONE
TUE NIGHT AND WED...AND HAVE TRENDED FCST TOWARD THIS SOLUTION BASED
ON MORE CONFIDENCE FROM EXTENDED DISCUSSION. BASED ON
THIS...INCREASED POPS TO 30% FOR TUE NIGHT AND WED. DEPENDING ON
TRACK AND DEVELOPMENT OF SFC LOW...COULD SEE HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG
WIND IMPACTS...AND PSBL SVR WX THREAT IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY IS
PRESENT.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 1 AM THURS...EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS EWN/OAJ/ISO AND
MVFR ACROSS PGV THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS MAINLY IN REDUCED
CEILINGS...WITH SOME REDUCTIONS IN VSBYS TO 3-4SM. WIDESPREAD RAIN
WILL PERSIST OVER THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING AND TAPER OFF FROM
WEST TO EAST TODAY AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OFF THE COAST PUSHES
OUT TO SEA. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN IFR CONDITIONS FOR OAJ/EWN DUE
TO PROXIMITY TO COASTAL LOW WITH FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATING
LOWERED CEILINGS THROUGH ABOUT 13Z. PGV/ISO ARE ON THE EDGE
BETWEEN MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS...BUT EXPECT MVFR TO PREVAIL MOST OF
THE OVERNIGHT FOR PGV WITH IFR PREDOMINANT AT ISO ALTHOUGH MAY SEE
CEILINGS BRIEFLY IMPROVE TO MVFR AT TIMES. NE WINDS WILL BE STRONG
AND GUSTY THROUGH THIS MORNING AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN RESPONSE
TO THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENING OFFSHORE AND HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE
MID-ATLANTIC STATES. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR BY LATE
AFTERNOON FOR THE AREA AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE COAST.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM THURSDAY...VFR EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FRIDAY THROUGH SAT
NIGHT WITH HIGH PRES IN CONTROL. MSTR INCREASE AHEAD OF NEXT FRONTAL
SYSTEM COULD LEAD TO BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS SUN
INTO MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 340 AM THURS...AN 0200Z ASCAT SCATTEROMETER WINDS PASS
REVEALED STRONGER WINDS THAN EXPECTED FOR THE CENTRAL COASTAL
WATERS WITH 35 KT SUSTAINED SO HAVE INCREASED WINDS FOR THE NEXT
6-9 HOURS A FEW KNOTS TO REFLECT THESE OBSERVATIONS AS WE CONTINUE
TO BE WITHOUT DIAMOND SHOALS BUOY. LATEST SURFACE AND WXFLOW DATA
INDICATE NNE WINDS 24-29 KT SUSTAINED WITH GUSTS APPROACHING GALE
FORCE. SEAS RANGE 9-12 FT FOR THE OUTER WATERS WITH 5-7 FT NEAR
SHORE. SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE
WELL NORTH OF THE REGION AND LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE STALLED BOUNDARY.
A COASTAL LOW PRESSURE OFF THE SC/NC COAST WILL PUSH ENE AND
DEEPEN TODAY INTO EARLY TONIGHT. GALE CONDITIONS WILL DIMINISH AS
THE GRADIENT LOOSENS AND THE LOW PUSHES OUT TO SEA HOWEVER EXPECT
ELEVATED SEAS TO PERSIST FOR THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH FRI AND
THUS WILL NEED SCA HEADLINES ONCE THE GALES COME DOWN. COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MINOR FLOODING DUE TO NE WINDS AND
HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES...WITH GREATEST IMPACT EXPECTED NORTH OF
HATTERAS NEAR MIRLO BEACH AROUND HIGH TIDE CYCLES.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM THURSDAY...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES DURING PERIOD WITH
THIS FCST ISSUANCE AS MODELS SHOW DECENT AGREEMENT AND CONTINUITY
FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...AND NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO MAKE
CHANGES ON MONDAY DUE TO MODEL DIFFERENCES. DECREASING WINDS AND
SEAS TREND WILL CONTINUE FRI AND FRIDAY NIGHT AS SFC HIGH PRES MOVES
IN FROM W...FOLLOWED BY LIGHT VEERING WINDS ON SAT. SW FLOW WILL
INCREASE TO 15-20 KT SUNDAY AHEAD OF NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM. EVEN
STRONGER SW WINDS PSBL MONDAY BASED ON CURRENT FCST THINKING OF
DEVELOPING SFC LOW MOVING ACROSS INLAND AREAS...BUT LOW CONFIDENCE
AT THIS TIME.

LATEST WW3 IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH PREVIOUS FCST SEAS...INDICATING
HEIGHTS SUBSIDING BELOW 6 FT FRIDAY EVENING.
