AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
1112 AM EDT FRI OCT 31 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OFFSHORE OF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST WILL
MOVE NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA TODAY. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH ON SATURDAY BRINGING MUCH COOLER AND WINDY WEATHER
FOR THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST
MONDAY AND TUESDAY THEN MOVE OFF THE COAST ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
AS OF 11 AM FRIDAY...BIGGEST CHANGE WITH THE MORNING UPDATE WAS TO
REDUCE POPS AND CLOUD COVER ALONG AND WEST OF HWY 17 AS THE LOW
PRESSURE OFFSHORE CONTINUES TO DEPART THE AREA. LATEST KMHX RADAR
IMAGERY NOTES ONLY WEAK RETURNS ALONG THE OBX AND OFF THE CENTRAL
COASTAL WATERS FROM DIAMOND SHOALS NORTH. TRIMMED BACK POPS
SIGNIFICANTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE TRENDS...WHICH SHOULD KEEP MOST
OF EASTERN NC DRY TODAY...THOUGH WILL HOLD ONTO SOME SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS FOR THE COASTAL WATERS FOR ANY LINGERING SHOWERS DUE TO
MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE LOW. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT CONTINUES TO BE TIGHT NEAR THE LOW WITH OBX SITES GUSTING
TO 25 MPH THIS MORNING. THE GRADIENT WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE AS THE
LOW MOVES FARTHER EAST TODAY...ALLOWING WINDS TO DIMINISH ACROSS
COASTAL SECTIONS. ADJUSTED TEMPS UP A FEW DEGREES FOR MOST OF
EASTERN NC DUE TO CLEAR SKIES ALLOWING MAXIMUM INSOLATION THIS
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. EXPECT MID TO UPPER 60S ALONG AND
WEST OF HWY 17 WITH LOW TO MID 60S EAST WHERE CLOUDS REMAIN THICKER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM FRIDAY...SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEAK LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MAY BRUSH THE OUTER BANKS THIS EVENING BEFORE MOVING OFF TO
THE NE. THE STG UPR LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL DIVE SWD TO THE
WRN CAROLINAS LATE TONIGHT RESULTING IN INCREASING CLOUDS AND
WIDELY SCATTERED PRECIP TO DEVELOP INLAND LATE. STILL SHOULD HAVE
ENOUGH RADIATIONAL COOLING TO GET TEMPS DOWN INTO THE MID AND UPR
40S INLAND AND 50-55 FOR COASTAL SECTIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM FRIDAY...VERY IMPRESSIVE UPPER SYSTEM WITH SIGNIFICANT
IMPACTS TO AFFECT EASTERN NC SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY THEN RATHER BENIGN
FALL WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. AN
ANOMALOUSLY DEEP UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO TRACK ACROSS SOUTH
CAROLINA SATURDAY THEN MOVE OFF OF THE NC COAST SATURDAY NIGHT. THE
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL RAPIDLY DEEPEN OFF OF THE OUTER BANKS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AS IT PULLS AWAY FROM THE
REGION SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE STRONG NORTHWEST TO
NORTH WINDS...WIDESPREAD RAIN THEN USHER IN THE COLDEST AIR OF THE
FALL SEASON SO FAR. THE STRONG WINDS WILL LEAD TO MINOR TO MODERATE
SOUND SIDE FLOODING ALONG THE EASTERN PAMLICO SOUND BASIN SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY AND MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PROMPT A HIGH WIND
WARNING FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. OCEAN
COASTAL FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN ALONG HATTERAS ISLAND DUE TO WAVE
RUN UP ASSOCIATED WITH 15 TO 20 FT SEAS OFF OF THE COAST. WHILE MOST
LOCATIONS WILL RECEIVE AN INCH OR LESS OF RAIN THE STRONG DYNAMICS
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO BANDED PRECIPITATION AND SOME LOCALLY MUCH
HEAVIER AMOUNTS WHICH COULD PRODUCE FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS. HAVE INCLUDED A MENTION OF THUNDER EAST OF HIGHWAY
17 BASED ON MODEL LI FORECASTS AND LATEST SPC DAY 2 CONVECTIVE
OUTLOOK. THE RAIN SHOULD COME TO AN END BEFORE 12Z SUNDAY WITH
CLEARING SKIES AND SLOWLY DIMINISHING WINDS EXPECTED SUNDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. GUIDANCE IS INDICATING WARMER
TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY AS COLD ADVECTION WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL
LATE IN THE DAY SO HAVE TEMPERATURES REACHING THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
60S ALONG THE COAST. ON SUNDAY THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL LIMIT
HIGHS TO THE MIDDLE 50S AT BEST EVEN WITH SUNNY SKIES. SUNDAY NIGHT
THE FIRST HARD FREEZE WILL LIKELY OCCUR INLAND AS TEMPERATURES FALL
TO OR JUST BELOW FREEZING. LOOKS LIKE WINDS WILL BE TOO STRONG FOR
FROST ALONG THE COAST THOUGH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S ARE
EXPECTED.

EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK WILL BE DOMINATED BY A TRANSIENT
MULTILAYERED RIDGE WHICH WILL PROVIDE MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND A
SLOW RECOVERY OF TEMPERATURES BACK TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS BY
WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL BRING INCREASING CLOUDS AND THE NEXT
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS WED NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 11 AM FRIDAY...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY AS EASTERN
NC TAF SITES REMAIN LOCATED BETWEEN A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE
OFF THE NC COAST AND BRIEF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTING THROUGH THE
REGION FROM THE NORTH. NE WINDS WILL REMAIN 10 KNOTS OR LESS
TODAY. MAY SEE SOME PATCHY FOG AT THE TERMINALS LATE TONIGHT WITH
LIGHT WINDS HOWEVER INCREASING CLOUDS WILL LIKELY PRECLUDE
FOG DEVELOPMENT.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM FRIDAY...AS A STRONG UPPER LOW DIVES SE INTO THE
CAROLINAS SAT A GOOD CVRG OF RAIN IS EXPECTED LEADING TO SUB VFR
CIGS AND POSS VSBYS. PREDOMINANT VFR WILL RETURN SUNDAY AND CONT
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS LOW PRES MOVES NE AWAY FROM THE REGION AND
SFC HIGH BUILDS EAST. STRONG AND GUSTY NW WINDS WILL DEVELOP LATE
SAT AND CONT INTO SUN AS THE LOW PRES DEEPENS TO THE NE.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 1110 AM FRIDAY...LATEST SURFACE AND BUOY DATA INDICATE N/NE
WINDS 10-20 KNOTS WITH SOME GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS AT DIAMOND SHOALS
DUE TO A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE STRENGTHENING LOW
PRESSURE OFFSHORE AND HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFING BUILDING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST. SEAS HAVE RESPONDED BY BUILDING TO 6 FT FOR THE OUTER
PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WATERS AS NOTED BY THE ONSLOW
BAY BUOY 41036 AND DIAMOND SHOALS BUOY 41025. EXTENDED DURATION OF
ELEVATED WINDS AND SEAS FOR A FEW HOURS INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON
TODAY...WITH WINDS AND SEAS SUBSIDING THEREAFTER AS THE SURFACE
LOW OFFSHORE SHIFTS FARTHER EAST MOVING THE BEST PRESSURE GRADIENT
FARTHER OFFSHORE AS WELL.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WERE NOT HOISTED AS GALE WATCHES REMAIN IN
PLACE FOR THE UPCOMING SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STORM SATURDAY EVENING
THROUGH SUNDAY. WINDS AND SEAS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS SHOULD
STAY BELOW SCA CRITERIA TONIGHT WITH SEAS RANGING FROM 2-5 FT.
WINDS WILL LIKELY DIMINISH TONIGHT BECOMING N TO NNW 10-15 KT AS
THE SURFACE LOW PULLS AWAY ALLOWING FOR THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO
RELAX.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM FRIDAY...A GALE WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS FROM
LATE SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS OFF OF THE NC COAST SATURDAY IN RESPONSE TO AN INTENSE
MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING INTO THE AREA. THE LOW IS FORECAST TO
MOVE AWAY FROM THE WATERS SUNDAY. AS THE SFC LOW SHIFTS OFF THE CST
LATER SAT AND DEEPENS, NNW WINDS WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE WITH STRONG
GALE CONDITIONS EXPECTED ALL WATERS LATE SAT/SAT EVENING THRU EARLY
SUNDAY...SOME GUSTS TO STORM FORCE WILL BE POSSIBLE ESPCLY OUTER
CNTRL AND NRN WTRS. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL LEAD TO DANGEROUS 15 TO
20 FOOT SEAS OUTER WTRS SAT NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY. HIGH SURF AND
MINOR BEACH EROSION WILL ALMOST CERTAINTY RESULT.

NW WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES FARTHER TO THE NE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
AREA. SEAS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE ARE FORECAST TO DROP BELOW SCA
LEVELS BY LATE MON.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
2-3 FT TIDAL ANOMALIES ARE LIKELY ALONG VULNERABLE COASTLINES AS
STRONG NNW WINDS DEVELOP SATURDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY.
THE NORTHERN OUTER BANKS AND SOUTHERN PAMLICO SOUND, ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF HATTERAS, AND DOWN-EAST CARTERET COUNTY WILL BE
PARTICULARLY AT RISK FOR AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING WITH POSSIBLY
MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IF STRONG GALE FORCE WINDS DEVELOP OVER
THE PAMLICO SOUND.
