AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
314 PM EDT FRI SEP 27 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS AN AREA OF STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEAST
WELL OFF THE COAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THE LOW WILL MOVE WELL NORTH
OF THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT FOLLOWING BY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO
THE REGION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...THE AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
HIGH PRESSURE WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT PINCHED BETWEEN THE
HIGH AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL BEGIN TO
LIFT NE WELL OFF OUR COAST. GUSTY WINDS WILL DIMINISH ACROSS LAND
AREAS TONIGHT BUT EXPECT THE ATMOSPHERE TO REMAIN MIXED OVERNIGHT
WITH AT LEAST A LIGHT BREEZE. COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS DEVELOP OFF
THE COAST TONIGHT BUT EXPECT THEY WILL LIKELY REMAIN OFFSHORE.
EXPECT TEMPS TO DROP TO MID 50S INLAND AREAS WITH BETTER MIXING
AND WARM COASTAL WATERS KEEPING TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...EXPECT A VERY SIMILAR DAY IN STORE TOMORROW
TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCED TODAY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE GUSTY WINDS
IN NE FLOW. DID ALLOW FOR SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER ALONG THE
OUTER BANKS. OTHERWISE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL DEVELOP WITH
HIGHS AGAIN IN THE MID 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM FRI...UPPER PATTERN WILL BE ACTIVE DURING THE LONG
TERM. THE DEEP UPPER LOW ALONG THE COAST WILL MOVE EAST ON SUNDAY
TO BE FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF PERIOD OF ZONAL FLOW EARLY NEXT WEEK.
UPPER RIDGE PASSES THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY WITH THE NEXT TROF
APPROACHING LATE IN THE WEEK. I WILL CONTINUE THE ISOLATED SHOWERS
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE NORTHEAST SURFACE FLOW AND NUMEROUS
VORT CENTERS ROTATING AROUND UPPER LOW. A SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH
DRY WEATHER AND MILD TEMPS IN STORE.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 100 PM FRIDAY...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF CYCLE.
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH SOME SCATTERED CU THIS AFTERNOON WILL
GIVE WAY TO CLEARING OVERNIGHT. WINDS ARE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
FCST FEATURE WITH GUSTY NE WINDS TODAY...DIMINISHING A BIT
OVERNIGHT BUT REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH TO ENSURE MIXING. WINDS WILL
INCREASE AGAIN AND BECOME GUSTY ON SATURDAY. NAM GUIDANCE SHOWS A
CHANCE OF FOG AT PGV BUT KEPT THIS OUT OF TAF GIVEN MIXING. IF
WINDS GET A LITTLE LIGHTER THERE CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT SOME
FOG WITH THE LIGHT NE FLOW AND PROXIMITY OF THE RIVER NORTH OF THE
AIRPORT. STILL THINK IT WOULD BE VERY LIMITED DITCH FOG AND DO NOT
EXPECT IT TO BE AN ISSUE.

LONG TERM /SAT NIGHT THROUGH WED/
AS OF 3 PM FRI...LOW PRESSURE OFF THE COAST WILL MOVE OFF TO THE
NORTH MONDAY TO BE REPLACE WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION FOR
MUCH OF THE WEEK. NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO
MONDAY...BECOMING WEST TO SOUTHWEST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. DRY AND
VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
FOR ALL WATERS THROUGH SATURDAY. AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THE TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WELL
OFFSHORE WILL KEEP THE AREA IN STRONG NE FLOW. WINDS WILL REMAIN
IN THE 20 TO 25 KT RANGE WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 WELL INTO SATURDAY.
THE FORECAST WINDS IN THE GRIDDED FORECAST FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE
STRONGER NAM MODEL WITH MORE WEIGHT ON THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
SEAS WILL BE 6 TO 8 FEET THROUGH THE PEAK OF THE WINDS TONIGHT
INTO EARLY SATURDAY BEFORE THEY SLOWLY BEGIN TO SUBSIDE.

LONG TERM /SAT NIGHT THROUGH WED/
AS OF 3 PM FRI...BOATING CONDITIONS WILL BE IMPROVING IN THE LONG
TERM. UPPER LOW OFF THE COAST THAT HAS BROUGHT ROUGH SEAS OVER THE
PAST FEW DAYS WILL MOVE OFF TO THE NORTH MONDAY TO BE REPLACED BY
HIGH PRESSURE AS THE MAIN FEATURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST FOR MUCH
OF THE WEEK. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL END ACROSS THE WATERS AS
STRONG NORTHEAST FLOW TRANSITIONS TO LIGHT WEST SOUTHWEST FLOW
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 2 PM EDT SUNDAY FOR AMZ135.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM EDT SATURDAY FOR AMZ130.
