AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
310 PM EDT TUE JUN 17 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND BACK OVER THE CAROLINAS FROM OFFSHORE
INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN WILL ALLOW HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY TO
EXIST ACROSS THE REGION ALONG WITH AN INCREASING RISK FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE HAS MOVED OFFSHORE
AND WILL RIDGE BACK ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS THROUGH TONIGHT.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE AIRMASS IS NOT QUITE AS DRY AS ON
MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THERE IS CONSIDERABLE CIN TO OVERCOME THIS
AFTERNOON...A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED
NORTH OF ROBESON AND BLADEN COUNTIES. SOME OF THE HIGHER RESOLUTION
MODELS ARE INDICATING THIS ACTIVITY WILL REDEVELOP OR MOVE
SOUTH...PERHAPS REACHING A LINE FROM HARTSVILLE TO DILLON TO EYF TO
ROCKY POINT IN PENDER COUNTY.

THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE STRONG TO
POSSIBLY DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN THE PRONOUNCED INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS
AND DRY AIR ABOVE 10-11 KFT. VERY SLOW TO STATIONARY STORMS MAY
PRODUCE VERY LOCALIZED FLOODING. SMALL HAIL IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY
STORMS THAT ARE ABLE TO GAIN SIGNIFICANT DEPTH GIVEN WET BULB ZERO
VALUES. THE 50 DBZ CORE HEIGHT THIS AFTERNOON IS JUST UNDER 40000
FT.

THE HEAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SIGNIFICANT THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPPER 90S WEST OF THE
DEVELOPING AND DISTINCT SEABREEZE WILL COMBINE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOWER TO MID 60S TO BRING THE HEAT INDEX UP TO 100 DEGREES...MAINLY
ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 95. ELSEWHERE...DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER
60S AND LOWER 70S AND TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S
WILL KEEP THE HEAT INDEX BELOW THE CENTURY MARK.

CONVECTION WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE DURING THE EARLY EVE AS HEATING
WANES. SKIES WILL BE CLEAR OR CLEARING DURING THE EVE. MAY SEE SOME
PATCHY FOG TOWARD MORNING...ESPECIALLY WHERE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
FALLS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVE. LOWS WILL BE WITHING A DEGREE OR
SO OF 70...WITH MID 70S AT THE BEACHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...HEAT WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM PERIOD WITH HEAT INDICES TOPPING OUT AROUND 100 FOR MANY
LOCATIONS EACH AFTERNOON. CHANCES FOR SHRA/TSRA WILL BE MINIMAL
EARLY ON IN THE PERIOD WITH A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE FOR DIURNAL
ACTIVITY BY THURSDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE EXERTS LESS OF AN INFLUENCE.
THE AFOREMENTIONED AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL BE A FEW CATEGORIES ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...HEAT INDICES AROUND 100 DEGREES AND INCREASING
CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS IN THE EXTENDED
FORECAST. ON FRIDAY...GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH BEGINS TO
BREAK DOWN AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STARTS TO ADVECT AND BECOME
ELONGATED ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. MOISTURE
RETURNS WITH PWAT VALUES INCREASING TO NEAR ALMOST 2 INCHES AS EARLY
AS SATURDAY. THE HEAT RETURNS AS WELL WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
90S INLAND DOWN INTO THE LOWER 90S ALONG THE COAST. THIS WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S DO EXPECT HEAT INDICES TO REACH 100 IF NOT
SLIGHTLY HIGHER NEAR HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA (105F) IN SOME
LOCATIONS. WITH AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS WELL IN PLACE EXPECT INCREASING
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...ESPECIALLY WITH THE
INTERACTION OF THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE...THE AFFECTS OF THE PIEDMONT
TROUGH...AND ANY ADDITIONAL LINGERING BOUNDARIES FROM PREVIOUS DAYS
AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE PERIOD. ANTICIPATE HIGHER CHANCES OF
CONVECTION TO BEGIN LATER IN THE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT NEARS THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...OTHER THAN AN ISOLATED SHOWER...NO PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON WITH PREDOMINATELY
SOUTHWEST FLOW. NEARLY CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT WITH GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING. MOISTURE PROFILES INDICATE VERY SHALLOW MOISTURE AT THE
SURFACE AFTER 06Z...WITH SHALLOW FOG EXPECTED AT THE INLAND
TERMINALS AND CRE. ANY FOG WILL QUICKLY BURN OFF BY 12Z...WITH MORE
SOUTHWEST FLOW EXPECTED.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND TSTMS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH GREATER CHANCES
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO
SLOWLY DRIFT SEAWARD THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW WINDS TO
SLOWLY VEER FROM SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST. WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST THROUGH
THIS EVE...SUSTAINED AROUND 15 KT ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE WATERS...AS
A DISTINCT SEABREEZE SLOWLY DISSIPATES. SEAS WILL BE 2 TO 3 FT.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...INLAND TROUGH AND RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
OFFSHORE WILL KEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN PLACE ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS. SPEEDS WILL BE AROUND 10 KNOTS EACH NIGHT AND MORNING...THEN
AROUND 15 KNOTS EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS THE SEA BREEZE
BECOMES FULLY DEVELOPED. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 3 FT OR LESS
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...SOUTH-SOUTHWEST FLOW AROUND 10 TO 15 KTS AND
SEAS 2 TO 3 FEET ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY ACROSS THE WATERS AS HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS OFFSHORE. INTO THE WEEKEND...MODELS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE A TIGHTENING GRADIENT WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR WINDS TO
INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KTS...AND WIND-WAVE SEAS INCREASING TO 3 TO 4
FT...WITH 5 FT SEAS POSSIBLE IN THE EXTREME OUTER WATERS.
