Special Weather Statement, NWS Newport/Morehead City, NC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
131 AM EDT TUE JUL 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTH LATE TUESDAY
AND PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT WILL THEN
QUICKLY LIFT BACK NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE
AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND WILL PRODUCE A SOUTHWEST FLOW
OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEEK.
ANOTHER FRONT IS FORECAST TO STALL AND DISSIPATE OVER THE AREA
OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
AS OF 120 AM TUES...BUMPED UP POPS TO REFLECT LATEST CONVECTION
ACROSS BEAUFORT...CRAVEN...JONES...ONSLOW COUNTIES PUSHING SE AND
FOR CONVECTION FROM HYDE/DARE COUNTIES EAST. TEMPS HAVE BEEN A FEW
DEGREES COOLER THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST DUE TO CONVECTION AND HAVE
ADJUSTED OVERNIGHT MINS AS WELL...SO EXPECT LOWS NEAR 70 INLAND TO
UPPER 70S ALONG THE COAST. WINDS IN GOOD SHAPE. CONVECTION MAY
LINGER INTO LATE NIGHT HOURS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN AREAS...AS MODELS
INDICATE WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY SLOW TO EXIT THE REGION OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MON...TUESDAY WILL FEATURE HOT TEMPERATURES AND
LITTLE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION...AS AREA WILL BE UNDER INFLUENCE
OF BRIEF RIDGING AND SUBSIDENCE AHEAD OF NEXT SHORTWAVE IN FAST
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHORTWAVE COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND
OF POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH THREAT WILL BE VERY
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND MORE LIKELY THE EVENING.

HAVE ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY FOR TUESDAY AS COMBINATION OF HIGH
TEMPS IN THE MID 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S LEAD TO HEAT
INDICES ABOVE 105 DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO
BE ONGOING TUESDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WHICH IS
FORECAST BY THE MODELS TO PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE NORTHERN AREA
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY.
RAIN CHANCES WILL RAPIDLY DIMINISH AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY. SLIGHTLY
COOLER AND DRIER AIR (HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90) IS
EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY. WILL CARRY A SLIGHT CHANCE POP FAR WEST
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BUT NOT EXPECTING MUCH IF ANY ACTIVITY DUE TO
THE ADVECTION OF DRIER AIR. THERE COULD A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS WARM ADVECTION OCCURS WITH THE RETREATING WARM
FRONT BUT WILL KEEP DRY UNTIL THERE IS BETTER SUPPORT IN THE
MODELS. THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL RETURN QUICKLY ON THURSDAY AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS AND 850 MB TEMPS RECOVER TO >/= 20C AND
PRODUCES HIGHS INLAND IN THE MIDDLE 90S. WILL CARRY A SMALL POP FOR
DIURNAL CONVECTION WITH MOST OF THE MODELS ONLY INDICATING
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY. THE HEAT CONTINUES
FRIDAY. THE INLAND/LEE/THERMAL TROUGH WILL SHARPEN AND MOVE INTO
THE COASTAL PLAIN WHICH COULD ENHANCE AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY. HEAT INDEX VALUES BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE AOA
105 DEGREES AND HEAT ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED.

THE PERSISTENT NE UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO AMPLIFY AGAIN OVER
THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A WEAKENING SURFACE COLD
FRONT JUMPING INTO THE LEE TROUGH POSITION AND STALLING AND
EVENTUALLY DISSIPATING. THIS WILL LEAD TO SLIGHTLY COOLER/NEAR
SEASONABLE/ TEMPERATURES WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 125 AM TUES...MVFR CEILINGS AND VSBYS POSSIBLE FOR THE NEXT
FEW HOURS FROM OAJ TO EWN ASSOCIATED WITH CONVECTION PUSHING SE
THROUGH EASTERN NC. LARGER SCALE SW FLOW SHOULD KEEP THE LOWER
LEVELS MIXED ENOUGH TO INHIBIT FOG/LOW STRATUS FORMATION OVERNIGHT
HOWEVER MAY SEE BRIEF LOWERING OF AVIATION CONDITIONS TO MVFR LATE
GIVEN MOIST LOW LEVELS FROM HEAVY PRECIPITATION DURING THE EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

MODELS HINT AT ANOTHER SHORTWAVE SLIDING SE THROUGH THE MEAN NW
FLOW ALOFT LATER THIS MORNING. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS FROM ABOUT
09Z ONWARD UNTIL AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INITIATE.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY....PREDOMINANT VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OUTSIDE
OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND BRIEF EARLY MORNING FOG OR STRATUS.
DIRER AIR IS FORECAST TO BRIEFLY BE OVER THE AREA FROM WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY WITH LESSER CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
HUMID/UNSTABLE AIR RETURNS LATE IN THE WEEK INTO WEEKEND WITH
BETTER COVERAGE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 130 AM TUES...LATEST SURFACE AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
SW FLOW 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS FOR THE OUTER WATERS
AS SEEN IN LATEST DIAMOND SHOALS OBSERVATIONS. SEAS REMAIN
ELEVATED 4 TO 7 FT DUE TO INCREASED SW PRESSURE GRADIENT AND THUS
NO CHANGES TO CURRENT SCA HEADLINES. INCREASED SEAS WILL CONTINUE
IN RESPONSE TO TIGHTENED GRADIENT THROUGH TUES AND PEAK NEAR 7
FEET FOR THE OUTER CENTRAL/SOUTHERN.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE
WATERS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WITH MODERATE TO STRONG SW
FLOW SHIFTING TO NORTHWEST TO NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT AND
DIMINISHING TO 10-15 KT. ROUGH WAVES AROUND 6 FT WILL SUBSIDE TO
4-5 FT WEDNESDAY. LATE THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND MODERATE SW FLOW
AT TIMES WILL REDEVELOP AS A WEAK FRONT STALLS INLAND WEST OF THE
WATERS WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF10-15 KT/15-20 KT. CHOPPY SEAS OF
3-5 FT ARE EXPECTED.
