Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 7:48 PM EDT, 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
748 PM EDT WED JUN 24 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK
WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY DURING THE
AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH A
BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS
WEEKEND. A DRYING TREND WILL BEGIN NEXT WEEK AS FRONT STALLED IN
THE AREA DISSIPATES AND HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 700 PM WEDNESDAY...STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE STORMS HAVE
REMAINED ISOLATED SO FAR...WITH THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION ACROSS
PENDER COUNTY. CONVECTION IS BEING DRIVEN SOUTHWARD BY MID-LEVEL
FLOW SPINNING AROUND THE RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOTS OF LIGHTNING ARE OCCURRING
DUE TO SLOW STORM MOVEMENT AND LARGE DEEP
INSTABILITY...RESPECTIVELY.
MODELS PAINT A DIZZYING VARIETY OF POSSIBILITIES OVERNIGHT. MOST
SHOW CONVECTION REMAINING RATHER ISOLATED...HOWEVER THERE IS A
SECOND CAMP LED BY THE 18Z NAM THAT SHOWS PERSISTENT CONVECTION
NEAR THE NC/SC COAST ALL NIGHT WITH IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL TOTALS.
GIVEN THE DEPTH OF INSTABILITY AND WEAK STORM MOTION THIS CANNOT
BE RULED OUT...AND I HAVE TRENDED THE FORECAST IN THIS DIRECTION.
FORECAST POPS ARE CURRENTLY 70-100 PERCENT IN THE CAPE FEAR REGION
DUE TO THE ONGOING STORMS...BUT RAMPS DOWN TO AROUND 40 PERCENT BY
LATE EVENING IN SOUTHERN NEW HANOVER/BRUNSWICK COUNTIES. ELSEWHERE
I AM KEEPING POPS NO HIGHER THAN 20-30 PERCENT.
FORECAST LOWS TONIGHT REMAIN IN THE 75-80 DEGREE RANGE. A LOW
LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP THIS EVENING ALONG THE COAST BUT LIKELY
SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER THAN WHAT WE SAW LAST NIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...HOT/HUMID SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE MID/UPPER RIDGE MAINTAINS ITS
PRESENCE FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS. THE HEAT INDEX IS PROJECTED TO
SURPASS HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA THURSDAY AND WILL LIKELY DO SO
AGAIN ON FRIDAY. THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL ALSO SUPPORT ABOVE
NORMAL MIN TEMPERATURES EACH NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER
70S. HIGHS EACH DAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 90S AT
THE COAST TO THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100. ALTHOUGH THE BETTER
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS EXISTS IN THE EXTENDED A CHANCE EXISTS
PRIMARILY FOR EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE SEA BREEZE AS A
TRIGGER. PLENTY OF INSTABILITY EXISTS SO ANY STORM THAT DOES FIRE
COULD BE STRONG.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...A LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY AND BRING SOME RELIEF FROM THE EXTENDED
HEAT WAVE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. SOUTHWEST FLOW EAST OF THE
TROUGH AXIS WILL RESULT IN A SURGE OF GULF MOISTURE AND UNSETTLED
WEATHER SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. CONVECTION WILL COME TO AN END
AS A COLD FRONT MOVES OFF THE COAST BY SUNDAY MORNING...AND
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BRING TEMPERATURES DOWN TO AROUND
CLIMO FOR MONDAY. RETURN FLOW WILL SET UP TUESDAY AND CONTINUE
WEDNESDAY BUT THE LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE WILL KEEP CONVECTION
SCATTERED AT BEST.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 00Z...MVFR WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR LESS AT KILM
AS TSRA MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
LATEST RADAR DEPICTS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...CURRENTLY CREATING MVFR
AT KILM WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES. EXPECT THIS
ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR. FOR THE REST OF
TONIGHT...VFR AND QUIET CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AS LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING IS DECREASING THE CHANCES OF ADDITIONAL
SHRA/TSRA. SOUTHWEST WINDS AROUND 5 KTS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT.
ON THURSDAY...LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS IN THE MORNING WILL INCREASE
TO AOB 12 KTS AND GUSTS UP TO 20 KTS IN THE AFTERNOON
HOURS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. HAVE INTRODUCED VCSH/VCTS FOR
POSSIBLE AFTERNOON ACTIVITY.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS THURSDAY. MODERATE
CONFIDENCE FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE HEAVY
RAIN.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 700 PM WEDNESDAY...A WEAK COLD FRONT IS IN THE PROCESS OF
WASHING OUT ACROSS THE CAROLINAS WHILE BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS WELL OFFSHORE. SYNOPTIC WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTHWESTERLY
OVERNIGHT AT 15 TO OCCASIONALLY 20 KNOTS...WITH SEAS 3-4 FEET.
THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE CAPE FEAR
REGION WILL OBVIOUSLY CREATE THEIR OWN STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS
PRIMARILY FROM THE NORTHWEST.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...THE SOUTHWEST PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
PERSIST BETWEEN INLAND TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND HIGH PRESSURE OFF
THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES COAST EACH DAY. THE GRADIENT WILL
TIGHTEN BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND BREEZY SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CARRY
INTO FRIDAY. WAVE GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT A 1-2 FT SOUTHEAST SWELL
WILL REMAIN MASKED BY THE MORE DOMINANT LOWER PERIOD WAVES AS A
RESULT OF THE SOUTHWESTERLY FETCH. THUS NOT THE BEST OF BOATING
FOR THE COASTAL WATERS WITH SOME STEEP CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL INCREASE SATURDAY
WITH A TIGHTENING GRADIENT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY AS
WINDS SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 20-25 KTS. THE GRADIENT WILL
RELAX WITH THE APPROACH FROM THE WEST OF THE SURFACE TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL DIMINISH ON SUNDAY...AND WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER THE WATERS.
