AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
343 AM EDT TUE OCT 8 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND OFFSHORE EARLY
TUESDAY. THE FRONT WILL STALL OFFSHORE WITH WEAK LOW PRESSURE
MOVING ALONG IT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WHILE HIGH PRESSURE
EXTENDS OVER THE AREA FROM THE NORTH.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THIS MORNING/...
AS OF 1230 AM TUE...NO CHANGES WITH UPDATE.

/PREVIOUS DISCUSSION/
AS OF 930 PM MONDAY...THE SURFACE COLD FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHES
FROM NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA SOUTHWEST TO CENTRAL NC NEAR
RALEIGH. JUST OFF THE COAST, A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED
THAT STRETCHED SOUTHWEST TO FLORIDA AND THE REMNANTS OF KAREN.
THIS HAS CREATED AN UNUSUALLY DIVERSE WIND FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE
REGION WITH WINDS SHIFTING FROM WEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTH
AND WEST WHILE THE FLOW IS COMING OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COASTS. THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO JOIN UP
WITH THE COASTAL TROUGH AROUND 06Z. SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE
ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING. EXPECT THESE TO INCREASE AS THE
REMNANTS OF KAREN MOVING INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS EVENING BEGINS
TO LINK UP WITH THE STALLED OFFSHORE FRONT LATE TONIGHT. THE LOW
IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE EAST INTO ATLANTIC OFF FLORIDA TUESDAY.
AS THIS OCCURS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT WILL
INCREASE. THIS IS CONJUNCTION WITH UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OF THE UPPER JET WILL
INCREASE ASCENT OVER A VERY MOIST AIRMASS WITH PW VALUES REMAINING
NEAR 1.75".HEAVIEST RAINS ARE EXPECTED OVER SOUTHEASTERN AREAS THUS
WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION
OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND BECOME GUSTY BEHIND
THE FRONT AND USHER IN MUCH COOLER AIR INTO THE AREA WITH LOWS
DROPPING INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S INLAND/UPPER 60S COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
AS OF 315 PM MONDAY...SURFACE LOW WILL EMERGE FROM THE FLORIDA
COAST TUESDAY MORNING WITH THE UPPER LOW MOVING JUST INLAND FROM
THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. SUFFICIENT LOW- LEVEL MOISTURE AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT SHOULD LEAD TO WIDESPREAD LIGHT RAIN ACROSS THE
REGION. HAVE CATEGORICAL POPS NEAR THE COAST...TAPERING BACK TO
HIGH CHANCE OVER THE FAR WESTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS. GIVEN THE
COLD-AIR DAMMING SIGNATURE...HAVE SIGNIFICANT UNDERCUT GUIDANCE IN
MANY AREAS WITH LITTLE TEMPERATURES RECOVERY ON TUESDAY. MAX TEMPS
SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S TUESDAY. THIS WILL
ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY NORTH WINDS AND THE LIGHT PRECIP.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM TUES...AN UPPER LOW WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE
CAROLINAS WED WHILE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN
COAST. THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE LOCATED OFF THE FL/GA/SC EARLY WED
THEN SLOWLY MIGRATE NE OFF THE COAST THROUGH EARLY FRI. THE UPPER
LOW WILL ALSO MIGRATE NORTH THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME ALTHOUGH LARGE
EAST COAST UPPER RIDGE WILL KEEP THE CAROLINAS UPPER LOW SHUNTED
SOUTH AND FORCE IT TO MEANDER AROUND THE REGION THROUGH LATE WEEK.
AS THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS NORTH WED NIGHT INTO THURS...BEST SUPPORT
FOR LARGE SCALE ASCENT ALSO SHIFTS TOWARDS THE DELMARVA AND THUS
CONTINUED WITH PREVIOUS TREND OF LIKELY POPS WED DIMINISHING TO
SLIGHT CHANCE BY THURS NIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE
EXCELLENT MOISTURE DUE TO FLOW OFF THE RELATIVELY WARM ATLANTIC
WITH PWATS WED AROUND 1.75 INCHES...ABOVE THE 75TH PERCENTILE FOR
OCTOBER...THEN DRYING A BIT THROUGH FRI TO AROUND 1.25 INCHES. NE
FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION DUE TO THE LOW OFFSHORE AND
HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND...WHICH WHEN COUPLED WITH A MOIST
BOUNDARY LAYER...WILL LEAD TO PRECIP AND CLOUD COVER THROUGH LATE
WEEK AND WILL ALSO ACT TO KEEP MAX TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW
CLIMO. GUSTY NE WINDS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS OBX AREAS AS GRADIENT
IS PINCHED BETWEEN OFFSHORE LOW AND HIGH PRES ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

THE UPPER LOW BECOMES SHUNTED SE SAT INTO SUN...PUSHING THE UPPER
FEATURE SE BACK OVER EASTERN NC AND OFF THE COAST BY SAT NIGHT.
THE SURFACE LOW RETROGRADES SOUTH DURING THIS TIME LEADING TO A
CONTINUATION OF NE WINDS AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS INLAND TO CHANCE
POPS ALONG THE COAST.

BY EARLY IN THE MORNING CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY. THE WINDS AND
SEAS ARE LIKELY TO BE IN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY RANGE FOR MUCH OF

PREVIOUS SEAS FORECAST IN GREAT SHAPE THROUGH THURS BASED ON
LATEST LOCAL SWAN/NWPS AND 00Z WAVEWATCH III...THEN HEDGED CLOSER
