AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
745 PM EDT MON JUN 25 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND CROSS THE AREA BY
TUESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA AND LINGER
THROUGH THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 615 PM MON...A SVR TSTM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MOST OF
EASTERN NC THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS STRONG
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER SE VA MOVING SSE INTO NE NC...THIS LINE
WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO PUSH SWARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.
THIS CONVECTION HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL...AT THIS TIME THINK AREAS ALONG AND N OF HWY 264 HAVE
THE BEST CHANCES FOR SVR POTENTIAL...WHICH CORRESPONDS WELL TO
AREA OF BETTER INSTABILITY AND INCREASED SHEAR. A COLD FRONT TO
THE NORTH AND WEST WILL MOVE INTO EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA AFTER
SUNSET AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. NOT
TOO MUCH SHEAR INDICATED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS BUT COULD SEE SOME
STRONG WINDS WITH STORMS. WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER
SUNSET AS THE FRONT APPROACHES. FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH OVERNIGHT
INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...WITH SKIES SLOWLY CLEARING AS DRIER
AIR WORKS IN BEHIND THE BOUNDARY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM MON...FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE
TUESDAY. NICE NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT ON TUESDAY WILL KEEP
CONDITIONS DRY AND TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 80S. A SURFACE LOW
MAY FORM ON THE FRONT WHICH WILL INCREASE WIND SPEEDS...ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS BUILDS INTO THE AREA BEHIND A COLD
FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE
NW THRU WED. TUE NIGHT WILL BE MAINLY CLEAR AND WITH LIGHT WINDS
AND DRY AIR IN PLACE. GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL RESULT WITH
COOL OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 50S INLAND WITH 60S AT
THE COAST. MAINLY PCPN FREE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK BUT
TEMPS AND HUMIDITY WILL BE INCREASING AS STRONG UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
EAST. HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE NEAR NORMAL FOR EARLY SUMMER...
MAINLY MID TO UPPER 80S WITH LOW 80S AT THE COAST. HOWEVER SHARPLY
RISING LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES WILL LEAD TO TEMPS INTO THE LOW 90 THU
AND INTO THE UPPER 90S BY FRIDAY INLAND. WHEN FACTORING IN DEW
POINTS AROUND 70...HEAT INDICES MAY REACH NEAR HEAT ADVISORY
CRITERIA (105F) FRI...AND POSSIBLY INTO SAT.
THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND FORECAST WILL BE DEPENDENT ON EVENTUAL TRACK
OF DEBBY. THE OFFICIAL NHC FORECAST NOW HAS DEBBY VERY SLOWLY
CROSSING NORTH FLORIDA DURING THE REMAINING WORKWEEK AND NOT
EMERGING OFF THE NE FLORIDA COAST UNTIL EARLY IN THE WEEKEND. 12Z
GFS HAS ALSO SLOWED THE STORM DOWN QUITE A BIT. ONCE CLEARING THE
FLORIDA COAST THE LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS DEBBY ACCELERATING OFF TO
THE NE INTO THE WEST ATLANTIC EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODEL TRENDS WILL
OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR ANY SPECIFIC IMPACTS FOR
EASTERN NC. FOR NOW IT APPEARS THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BREAK
DOWN AS THE WESTERLIES DIP DOWN SOUTH OVER THE MID ATLC STATES
DURING HE WEEKEND. THIS WUD NOT ONLY KEEP DEBBY MOVING OUT INTO
THE OPEN ATLANTIC BUT ALSO HELP INCREASE PCPN CHANCES AND DECREASE
TEMPERATURES SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. WILL HOLD POPS AT SLIGHT CHC FOR
NOW GIVEN THE POTENTIAL MODEL/FCST ERROR.

IN CONVECTION WITH GUSTY WINDS. FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE TAF
SITES LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUE AM...WITH N SURGE AND VFR
CONDITIONS RETURNING FOR TUE.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
EXPECTING A MAINLY VFR FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE
SURFACE AND EVENTUALLY ALOFT PRODUCE DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS EASTERN
NC. MAY BEGIN TO SEE CHANCES FOR LATE NIGHT FOG/STRATUS INCREASE AS
