.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 4 AM SATURDAY...A LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH PERSISTS ACROSS
EASTERN NORTH AMERICA WITH ANOTHER STRONG NORTHERN JET DIVING
SOUTH OUT OF THE CANADIAN PLAINS...WHICH WILL PUSH A ROBUST
SHORTWAVE TROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. SFC HIGH PRES REMAINS CENTERED
OVER THE SOUTHERN COASTAL SECTIONS THIS MORNING BUT WILL CONTINUE
TO BE PUSHED SOUTH TODAY AS ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHES

EXPECTED AROUND 15-25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH INLAND AND 25-35
MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH ALONG THE COAST FROM LATE THIS MORNING
THROUGH MUCH OF TONIGHT. THE STRONG WINDS WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUS

CRITERIA ALONG THE OUTER BANKS AND PARTS OF DOWNEAST CARTERET
COUNTY...AND HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR CARTERET AND OBX DARE
AND HYDE COUNTIES. THE STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO PRODUCE INCREASED
WATERS LEVELS ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 2 FT ALONG SOUNDSIDE OBX THIS
AFTERNOON...GENERALLY FROM RODANTHE NORTH DURING THE DAY TODAY AS
WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

ASIDE FROM THE STRONG WINDS...THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE AND FRONT
IS ONLY EXPECTED TO PRODUCE MAINLY MID AND HIGH CLOUDS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND NO PRECIPITATION AS IT WILL BE VERY DRY BELOW 10K FT.
TEMPS REMAIN IN THE TEENS INLAND TO 20S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST
EARLY THIS MORNING WITH WIND CHILL VALUES AROUND 8-15 DEGREES. SW
FLOW WILL BRING DESCENT WAA WITH LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES INCREASING
TO 1300-1320M...WHICH WILL BRING HIGHS TODAY IN THE 40S.

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 4 AM SATURDAY...STRONG SW WINDS TO START THE EVENING WILL

ANOTHER DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE MONDAY
REINFORCING THE COLD AIR BUT WILL HAVE LIMITED MOISTURE AND LITTLE
TO NO PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AHEAD OF MONDAYS FRONT
MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL HELP TO BOOST TEMPERATURES WELL
INTO THE 50S AND THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK. ANOTHER BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR WILL BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD EASTERN
NC MON NIGHT CONTINUING THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES WELL
BELOW NORMAL EXPECTED. THE MAIN CONCERN DURING THIS PERIOD OF VERY
COLD WEATHER CENTERS ON THE EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT OF A FRONTAL WAVE
OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC IN THE TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME.
ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN BETTER RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY WITH THE
MODELS (ESPECIALLY THE GFS) THERE STILL REMAIN SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS WITH THE GFS/UKMET FURTHER OFFSHORE AND
THUS DRY AND THE CMC/ECMWF FURTHER WEST WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACROSS EASTERN NC TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
SINCE THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEANS HAVE BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT WITH
THIS SYSTEM OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS THE FORECAST WILL BE SIDING
WITH THE MORE WESTWARD SOLUTIONS AND WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST A
CHANCE OF SNOW, HOWEVER, THERE STILL REMAINS UNCERTAINTY SO
RESIDENTS ARE ADVISED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FORECAST CLOSELY
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE AREA WITH CLEARING
THURSDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN
VERY COLD THROUGH FRIDAY WITH SOMEWHAT WARMER BUT STILL BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S EXPECTED FRIDAY WITH A WESTERLY LOW
LEVEL FLOW.
