COUPLE OF HOURS. PRECIPITABLE WATERS OVER 2 INCHES WITH CAPE VALUES
AROUND 3KJ/KG. NOT MUCH DIRECTIONAL SHEAR DETECTED IN FORECAST
SOUNDINGS BY THERE IS SOME LIGHT SPEED SHEAR. SURFACE FRONT NORTH OF
THE AREA AND UPPER LEVEL ENERGY SWINGING THROUGH THE ZONAL FLOW WILL
HELP KEEP CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT WITH
CHANCES LESSENING AFTER THAT TIME AS UPPER ENERGY MOVES OFFSHORE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM MON...SURFACE LOW PRES SLIDES OFF THE VA COAST TUES
WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO THE REGION. LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY
MOVING THROUGH ALOFT WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR CONVECTION...
ESPECIALLY THROUGH PEAK HEATING. IT WILL BE ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH
HIGHS AROUND 90 AND HEAT INDICIES AROUND 100F ALLOWING FOR STRONG
INSTABILITY AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING 3000-4000J/KG OF CAPE
DURING THE AFTERNOON ALLOWING FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG STORMS.
SHEAR REMAINS WEAK...GENERALLY LESS THAN 15 KT...WITH WEAK MID
LEVEL LAPS RATES SO THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WILL BE LOW. PWATS
CONTINUE AROUND 2" OR GREATER SO THE POTENTIALLY FOR HEAVY

THE DAY WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE HEATING TEMPS INTO THE LOWER 90S
INLAND TO MID 80S ALONG THE COAST.  HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 100.
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH THURSDAY WITH TIMING IN QUESTION.

COVER...PRECIP...AND OVERALL TEMPS.  FOR NOW...HAVE MAJORITY OF THE
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING THURSDAY WITH TEMPS AROUND 90.

MODEL DIVERGENCE SEEMS TO TAKE SHAPE FROM FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH MODELS ARE TRYING TO COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT.
THE GFS HAS A BIT MORE SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY MOVING THROUGH THE REGION
AS OPPOSE TO THE EURO. THE EURO MODEL MOVES A POTENT SHORTWAVE
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING AND WITH A STRONG TRAILING COLD FRONT ON ITS
WAKE. THE 00Z/12Z MODEL GUIDANCE HAS FLIP FLOPPED WITH THE GFS NOW
THE SLOWER SOLUTION WITH FRONT PROGRESSION AND THE EURO FASTER. WILL
PULL THE FRONT THROUGH FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.  THIS WILL GIVE SCHC PRECIP THROUGH THE REMAINDER
PORTION OF THE PERIOD. NOT TO MENTION STRONG NE FLOW KEEPING MAX
TEMPS A COUPLE DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...IN THE MID 80S INLAND TO LOW
80S ALONG THE BEACHES. DRIER CONDITIONS COMING EARLY NEXT WEEK.

NORTH CAROLINA OVER NIGHT...CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT. WILL SEE A LESSENING OF STORM CHANCES AS
THIS ENERGY MOVES OFFSHORE...BUT THERE WILL STILL REMAIN A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS. HOWEVER WILL NOT PUT THEM IN THE TAFS. IF ANY STORMS MOVE
OVER A TAF SITE...EXPECT SUB VFR CONDITIONS. COULD SEE SOME FOG
TONIGHT WITH WET GROUND...HAVE MVFR CONDITIONS FOR A FEW PRE DAWN
HOURS IN THE FOG. IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO VFR AFTER SUNRISE...BUT
TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL HAVE SCATTERED STORMS AGAIN WITH SUBVFR
CONDITIONS.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/
AS OF 300 PM MONDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD
APART FROM ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL
CROSS THE REGION GIVING WAY TO SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. A
POTENT BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL YIELD NORTHERLY WINDS ACROSS THE
AREA BY FRIDAY LATE AFTERNOON. STRONG NORTHEAST FLOW WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA
FROM THE NORTH. ANY FOG FORMATION WILL BE TOUGH TO PIN POINT AT THIS
TIME GIVEN THE COMPLEX TIMING OF SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 637 PM MON...SOUTHWEST FLOW RUNNING 10 TO 15 KNTOS OVER THE
NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL WATERS THIS AFTERNOON WITH SEAS 2 TO 3 FEET.
AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH MAINLY THE

HOURS TIGHTENING THE GRADIENT A BIT AND HELPING SPEEDS TO INCREASING
TO A STEADY 15 KNOTS.

INTO THE NORTHERN WATERS BRINGING NWLY WINDS AROUND 10 KT WHILE SW
WINDS AROUND 10-20 KT CONTINUE SOUTH OF OREGON INLET. SEAS WILL
CONTINUE AROUND 2-4 FT THROUGH THE PERIOD.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM MONDAY...A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH
DURING THE PERIOD. GIVEN THESE DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE MEAN
FLOW...CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH SATURDAY.  THE DEPARTING SFC
LOW/SHORTWAVE TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THE SUBSEQUENT
PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD RELAX THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL ENABLE
WAVES TO DROP TO 2 TO 3 FEET THROUGH MID WEEK. WINDS WILL BE OUT OF
THE NORTH WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WASH OUT THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY.  RETURN FLOW WILL DEVELOP
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT POTENT SHORTWAVE/SFC LOW TRACKS
ACROSS OUR NORTHERN TIER. WINDS SHOULD NOT GET ABOVE 15 KTS THROUGH
THIS TIME. MODELS START TO DIFFER AT THIS POINT. A STRONG FRONT IS
PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. TIMING A BIT IN
QUESTION. FEEL BY LATER IN THE DAY FRIDAY THE WATERS WILL BE FEELING
THE NE FLOW. THE GRADIENT LOOKS TO BE A BIT TIGHTER THAN PREVIOUS
FORECASTS AND THUS THE SURGE AND INCREASE IN WAVES WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED AS WE APPROACH THE WEEKEND.
