AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
305 PM EDT THU JUN 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH HUMIDITY AND HEAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO
NEXT WEEK. A HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR TODAY. A FEW
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE HEAT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENINGS. HEAT ADVISORIES MAY
BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...VAPOR ANIMATIONS SHOW A FAINT UPPER LEVEL
SWIRL MOVING ENE ACROSS NE SC PRESENTLY...WHILE CONVECTION WAS
BEGINNING TO ERUPT ALONG AN INTENSE THERMAL SURFACE AXIS ACROSS
CENTRAL SC THIS AFTERNOON. THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE CELLS
COUPLED WITH ELEVATED PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES COULD RESULT IN
LOCALIZED FLOODING IN AREAS CAUGHT BENEATH THE TOWERS FOR A
CONSIDERABLE DURATION. DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT AROUND THE UPPER
PORTIONS OF CONVECTIVE CORES WILL HELP TO BOOST DOWNDRAFT CAPES
AND ANY STRONG CELLS WILL BE CAPABLE OF GENERATING MICROBURSTS AND
LOCALIZED WIND DAMAGE. FORMATION OF NEWER CELLS MAY EXPAND EAST
ALONG AND NEAR THE SEA BREEZE FRONT AS THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION
AND ITS ASSOCIATED LOW-LEVEL LAND CONVERGENCE STRENGTHEN.

LOSS OF HEATING WILL DECREASE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TONIGHT BUT
WEAK MCV IMPULSES ALOFT MAY SUSTAIN CONVECTION ACROSS THE TOP
PORTIONS OF THE UPPER RIDGE FAVORING NIGHT-TIME STORMS/SHOWERS
ACROSS SE NC. HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS POSTED ALL AREAS UNTIL 7PM.
MILD MINIMUMS AGAIN OVERNIGHT 75-80 MOST LOCATIONS AND MILDEST
CLOSER TO THE OCEAN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE WELL
INTO THE WEEKEND ALONG WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY AS SURFACE FEATURES...INCREASING MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY COME INTO PLAY. WITH MID TO UPPER RIDGE STILL IN
PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST...JUST BARELY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA...A WEAK SFC TROUGH WILL SHIFT INTO THE FORECAST
AREA ON FRIDAY WHILE THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BILL PUSH
EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY. AS A RESULT...EXPECT
SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE SEABREEZE AND ANY LINGERING BOUNDARIES FROM PREVIOUS DAYS
CONVECTION. INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON...A MORE EASTWARD TRACK OF
REMNANTS OF BILL...NOW A SHORTWAVE...BECOMES EVIDENT IN LATEST
GUIDANCE...WITH A TRACK ALONG THE VA/NC BORDER. AS THIS
OCCURS...WILL SEE THE UPPER RIDGE COMPLETELY BREAK DOWN...ALLOWING
FOR THE PREDOMINANT FLOW TO CONTINUE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. WITH
THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE PUSHING INLAND...EXPECT MAJORITY OF THE
MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE CONVECTION TO REMAIN INLAND...THOUGH
CANNOT ENTIRELY RULE OUT DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE COAST. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REACHING JUST OVER THE 2 INCH MARK EACH
DAY...RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD AMOUNT TO AROUND THREE QUARTERS OF AN
INCH GIVE OR TAKE...WHICH FALLS IN LINE WITH CURRENT WPC QPF
FORECAST THROUGH SUNDAY 12Z.

A HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA ON
FRIDAY...WHILE COULD SEE CONDITIONS MET AGAIN ON SATURDAY. THERE
WILL BE A BIT OF RELIEF IN ACTUAL TEMPERATURES THOUGH...TRENDING A
FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN HAVE SEEN IN PAST DAYS WITH LOW TO MID 90S
ALONG THE COAST AND MID 90S INLAND. THIS IS A RESULT OF THE AREA
LOOSING THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER RIDGE...ALONG WITH ANTICIPATED
INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND RAIN COOLED AIR FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. AS FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS...EXPECT MID 70S EACH NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...THE THEME FOR THE EXTENDED REMAINS THE
SAME...HOT AND MOSTLY DRY AS THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
WILL BE DOMINATED BY DEEP LAYER HIGH PRESSURE. THE AXIS OF THE MID
LEVEL RIDGE WILL TAKE ON A SLIGHT NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TILT FROM
THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE EASTERN GULF COAST. WITH THIS
CONFIGURATION...THERE ARE SOME SIGNALS THE AREA COULD BE ON THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF AN OCCASIONAL MCS OR TWO BUT THESE ARE ALL
BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO FORECAST DURING THIS TIME FRAME. HAVE MAINTAINED
THE MOSTLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WITH A SLIGHT NOD TO A DIURNAL
PATTERN. THE LATEST MEX NUMBERS HAVE COOLED SLIGHTLY SO THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST REMAINS ESSENTIALLY AN UPDATE OF THE PREVIOUS
PACKAGE...NOT WANTING TO JUMP ON A COOLING TREND WITHOUT MORE
CONSISTENCY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY BREAKS DOWN OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS...ALLOWING CONVECTION TO FORM A BIT EASIER. LOOK FOR
SOME CONVECTION ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND THE PIEDMONT TROUGH LATER
THIS AFTERNOON. COVERAGE WILL BE ENOUGH FOR A TEMPO GROUP AT THE
INLAND TERMINALS. BRIEF IFR IS POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY.
THE CONVECTION WILL LINGER INTO THE EVENING...WITH ISOLATED
ACTIVITY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. FRIDAY...LOOKS LIKE EVEN
MORE MOISTURE MAY BE AVAILABLE.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY WITH
MAINLY VFR. LESSER CHANCES MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...MANAGEABLE MARINE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH TONIGHT ALTHOUGH SW WINDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT TO AROUND 15
KT SUSTAINED AND OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 20 KT...THUS A BIT MORE
BUMPINESS IN THE WIND-WAVE PORTION OF THE SPECTRUM CAN BE EXPECTED.
SEAS AROUND 3 FT TONIGHT POSSIBLY 4 FT OUTER WATERS IN THE MODERATE
SW FLOW OVERNIGHT. SEAS A COMBINATION OF MODERATE SW CHOP AND ESE
WAVES 2-3 FEET EVERY 9-10 SECONDS. A FEW STRONG TSTMS MAY MOVE OVER
THE INSHORE NC WATERS AS STEERING WINDS GUIDE STORMS FROM LAND TO
SEA...MOVING GENERALLY WEST TO EAST...FAVORED MAINLY NORTH OF CAPE
FEAR.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...A SFC BOUNDARY ON FRIDAY WILL BE FOLLOWED BY
THE DECLINING INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER RIDGE ON SATURDAY AS ANOTHER
SFC TROUGH PUSHES INTO THE AREA ON SATURDAY. AS A RESULT...EXPECT
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SHIFT AND BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY BY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER GUSTS
POSSIBLE AT TIMES. INTO SATURDAY MORNING...SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL PREVAIL THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH WINDS AROUND 10 KTS OR LESS.
EXPECT SEAS TO RANGE BETWEEN 2 TO 4 FT.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10-15 KNOTS WILL
PREVAIL ACROSS THE WATERS BASICALLY THROUGH THE PERIOD. EXPECT
SOME INCREASE BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHTS VIA A SLIGHTLY
ENHANCED NOCTURNAL JET BUT THIS SHOULD JUST ADD A KNOT OR TWO TO
THE WIND SPEEDS. SEAS ARE MOSTLY 2-4 FEET.
