Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 3:07 PM EDT, 3 hours 38 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
307 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD
AND STRONGER THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ACROSS A
LINGERING FRONT OVER THE CAROLINAS. THE LOW WILL MOVE SOUTH AND
EAST OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST ON SUNDAY...BUT COULD LINGER
ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND SOUTH INTO
THE CAROLINAS EARLY NEXT WEEK. A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED TO
FOLLOW AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE...WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM SATURDAY...NEW THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS BEGUN TO FIRE
ACROSS THE FA...AND IS MAINLY SITUATED ALONG A NE-SW ORIENTED SFC
TROF LYING JUST WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR. LOOK FOR THIS ACTIVITY
TO FURTHER DEVELOP AND TRACK ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ILM CWA.
INITIALLY ...CIN ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST HAS TEMPORARILY
PREVENTED ANY SEA-BREEZE INDUCED CONVECTION TO BREAK-OUT. WITH ALL
THIS SAID...WILL NEED TO RE-ALIGN POPS ACROSS THE FA WITH THE
NOTION OF POPS REACHING GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY STATUS BY MID TO
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING WELL INTO THE EVENING. THE
DYNAMICS FROM A MID LEVEL S/W TROF TO PUSH ACROSS THE FA THIS AFTN
AND EVENING. THIS WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER SOURCE OF LIFT IN ADDITION
TO THE WEAK SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE FA
TONIGHT. LOOKING AT A GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS AT ITS PEAK. HWO
HAS BEEN EDITED TO INCLUDE POSSIBLE DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WIND
GUSTS IE. WET MICROBURSTS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE SLIGHT RISK AREA.
WITH WET BULB ZERO HGTS IN EXCESS OF THE 13K FT...HAIL SHOULD NOT
BE THE PRIMARY SVR WX CONCERN. WITH LATEST NAMBUFR SOUNDINGS
INDICATING 2+ INCHES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER ACROSS THE FA...SOME OF
THE SLOWER MOVING CONVECTION COULD DEPOSIT HEAVY RAINFALL WITHIN A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME TEMPORARY
PONDING/FLOODING ACROSS THE FA FOR WHICH FLOOD ADVISORY
STATEMENTS...FLS...WILL BE PUT INTO GOOD USE IN LIEU OF THE THREAT
FOR SVR WX.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM SATURDAY...THE AREA WILL FIND ITSELF ON SUNDAY STILL
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED WEAK COLD FRONT.
PER LATEST GUIDANCE...THIS FEATURE REMAINS ON TRACK OF ITS SOUTHWARD
PROGRESSION SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...BECOMING SITUATED ACROSS SOUTH
CAROLINA MONDAY NIGHT. AS IT MOVES SOUTHWARD ON SUNDAY...WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM NORTH. THIS WITH PERSISTENT
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR TO INFILTRATE
INTO THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...AS SEEN FROM LATEST TIME-HEIGHT
ANALYSIS AND FCST SOUNDINGS. HOWEVER...WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE STILL
IN PLACE...COULD SEE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY.
NORTHEAST FLOW WILL BECOME EASTERLY AND THEN SOUTHEASTERLY LATER ON
MONDAY ALLOWING FOR MOISTURE FETCH FROM THE GULF/ATLANTIC...BUT WITH
LACK OF ANY SORT OF LIFTING MECHANISM DO NOT ANTICIPATE MUCH
COVERAGE IN ANY CONVECTION UNLESS ANY LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES ARE
LINGERING ABOUT THE AREA...OR FOR AREAS NEAR THE REMNANTS OF THE
WEAK FRONT.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...WILL SEE UPPER 80S IN NC UP TO AROUND 90 IN SC
ON SUNDAY AS NORTHEAST FLOW CONTINUES...BUT THE HEAT WILL RETURN
INTO MONDAY WITH A LARGER SWATH ACROSS THE CAROLINAS OF NEAR 90
DEGREES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SATURDAY...INCREASING WARMTH THROUGH THE EXTENDED...BUT
THIS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY ABOVE-CLIMO PRECIP CHANCES MOST OF THE
PERIOD. WEAK MID-LEVEL RIDGING TUESDAY WILL QUICKLY DE-AMPLIFY INTO
A TROUGH MID-WEEK AS A SERIES OF IMPULSES MOVE OVERHEAD. THIS OCCURS
IN CONJUNCTION WITH BROAD HIGH PRESSURE SITTING OFFSHORE...PUMPING
WARM AND MOIST RETURN FLOW INTO THE REGION. THERE APPEARS TO BE
LITTLE INHIBITING CONVECTION WED-FRI...AND EXPECT AN ACTIVE PIEDMONT
TROUGH AND SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY EACH DAY...ENHANCED BY THE FORCING
WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL FLOW AND STRONG INSTABILITY AS TEMPS RISE ABOVE
CLIMO...INTO THE 90S...WITH 70 DEGREE DEWPOINTS. SOME SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND A FINAL IMPULSE ON SATURDAY COMBINED WITH INCREASING RIDGING
OVER THE SOUTHEAST ONCE AGAIN WILL LIKELY MAKE SATURDAY THE WARMEST
OF THE PERIOD...ALONG WITH THE LOWEST PRECIP CHANCES.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...THE CIN ACROSS THE FA WILL DISAPPEAR THIS
AFTERNOON...ALLOWING A FAIRLY DECENT COVERAGE OF CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP/EMERGE. LOOK FOR ACTIVITY TO BEGIN ALONG THE SFC TROF
EXTENDING FROM NE-SW BASICALLY JUST WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR. SEA
BREEZE INDUCED CONVECTION FOR THE COASTAL TERMS REMAINS POSSIBLE.
THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LIKELY BLOSSOM AND SPREAD ACROSS THE
FA FROM MID-AFTERNOON THRU MID-EVENING. HAVE INDICATED CONVECTIVE
WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE UP TO 40 KT ACROSS THE INLAND TERMINALS DURING
THE HEIGHT/PEAK OF THE CONVECTION. ISOLATED CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE
AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH SOME REDUCED VSBY FROM LIGHT FOG POSSIBLE IN
AREAS THAT RECEIVED RAINFALL.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRY TO WEDGE IN SUNDAY MORNING...WITH A WIND
SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST ACROSS ALL TERMINALS. LOW CONFIDENCE ON
CEILING HEIGHT...AT WORST CASE FOR NOW WILL LEAN TO MVFR.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
SUNDAY AS A WEAK SFC TROUGH/BOUNDARY LINGERS OVER THE CAROLINAS.
BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN TSTMS. CHANCE OF
SHOWERS/TSTMS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM SATURDAY...SW FLOW TO RULE THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
EXCEPT SSW NEAR SHORE EARLY ON DUE TO THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION.
SPEEDS WILL RUN AROUND 15 KT. THE SEA BREEZE WILL NOT BE VERY
PROGRESSIVE INLAND DUE TO AN ACTIVE WSW-WNW FLOW ALOFT. THE COLD
FRONT TO PUSH TO THE AREA WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...VEERING
THE WINDS TO THE WEST TO NORTHWEST DURING THE PRE-DAWN SUNDAY HRS.
THE ILM NC WATERS MAY SEE A NORTHEAST DIRECTION BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY
AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO SNAKE SOUTHWARD. SIGNIFICANT SEAS WILL
RUN AROUND THE 3 FOOT MARK...AND PRIMARILY BE DOMINATED BY WIND
DRIVEN WAVES AT 4 TO 6 SECOND PERIODS.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM SATURDAY...NORTHERLY FLOW AOB 10 KTS WILL PERSIST
THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SUNDAY...BEFORE GRADUALLY BECOMING
NORTH-NORTHEAST AS A WEAK FRONT PUSHES SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE WATERS
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS FAIRLY WEAK BEHIND THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH WINDS VEERING FROM EAST TO SOUTHEAST ON MONDAY
INTO MONDAY NIGHT. SEAS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WILL BE 2 TO 3 FT.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM SATURDAY...SUMMERTIME PATTERN FOR THE EXTENDED AS LARGE
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SPINS OFFSHORE...ALL WHILE RIDGING BACK
TOWARDS THE COAST THROUGH THE WEEK. AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF SE WINDS
EARLY TUESDAY...SW WINDS WILL BECOME THE PREFERRED DIRECTION THE
REST OF THE PERIOD...WITH SPEEDS OF 10-15 KTS...SLIGHTLY HIGHER ON
THURSDAY. THESE WINDS...COMBINED WITH AN INCREASED SE GROUND SWELL
DUE TO PROLONGED FETCH AROUND THE HIGH...WILL CAUSE WAVE HEIGHTS TO
