AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
1001 PM EST SAT FEB 28 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH THROUGH
SUNDAY. A WEAK TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST TONIGHT
THEN MOVE INLAND ON SUNDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM
THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY NIGHT AND CROSS THE REGION MONDAY. THE FRONT
WILL STALL TO THE SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT THEN LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE
REGION LATE TUESDAY. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
WEST WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CROSS THE AREA ON
THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 10 PM SATURDAY...TWEAKED TEMPERATURES TO OBS WHILE ALSO
MODIFYING THE TEMPERATURE CURVE OVERNIGHT. CURRENT THINKING IS
LOWS WILL DROP BETWEEN 06-08Z AND SLOWLY CLIMB AFTER THIS POINT.
ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE AREA WILL STILL BE UNDER NORTHEAST
FLOW...CLOUDS AND DEW POINTS WILL INCREASE FROM THE
SOUTH...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT OR SO. GIVEN THIS TEMPS SHOULD
NOT DROP TOO MUCH MORE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS SUNDAY. LOWS
IN THE MID 30S ALONG HE BEACHES TO THE MID-20S ACROSS THE NW.
OTHERWISE...NO OTHER CHANGES NEEDED.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD NORTH OVER
COLD AIR DOME AS INVERTED TROUGH DEVELOPS OFFSHORE AND ISENTROPIC
LIFT INCREASES AFTER MIDNIGHT. TEMPS WILL FALL BACK THRU THE 30S
THIS EVENING AND WILL BE NEAR TO BELOW FREEZING AS A CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPS MAINLY OVER DEEP INLAND AREAS LATE TONIGHT.
VERTICAL PROFILES FAVOR LIQUID PRECIPITATION WITH WARMING TEMPS
JUST ABOVE THE NEAR SFC COLD AIR. HOWEVER ANY FREEZING PRECIP THAT
DOES OCCUR WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SLIPPERY SPOTS,
PARTICULARLY ON UNTREATED BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT ACCUMULATING AMOUNTS OF
PRECIP REMAIN WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA WHILE TEMPERATURES ARE
BELOW FREEZING THRU SUNDAY MORNING. SO HAVE RAISED POPS TO
SLIGHT/LOW CHANCE FOR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN ALONG AND WEST OF
HIGHWAY 17 FOR NOW TO ACCOUNT FOR FORECAST UNCERTAINTY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY/...
ANY LIGHT FREEZING PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO ALL RAIN AS SFC
TEMPS WARM ABOVE FREEZING BEFORE NOON. PRECIP CHANCES HAVE BEEN
RAMPED UP TO LIKELY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS FORCING INCREASES WITH
APPROACH OF SHORT WAVE ENERGY IN THE FLAT MID LEVEL FLOW. GIVEN
THE RELATIVELY WEAK UPPER SUPPORT, EXPECT HIGH PRECIP CHANCES BUT
LOW QPF AMOUNTS...MAINLY LESS THAN .25" THRU SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CUD
BE A LARGE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT OVER THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AS THE COASTAL TROF/WARM FRONT MOVES INLAND. HIGHS MAY
ONLY REACH INTO THE LOW 40S WELL INLAND WHILE COASTAL AREAS SURGE
INTO THE MID 50S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM SATURDAY...AN INVERTED TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE
COAST SUNDAY EVENING THEN STRONG WAA WILL OVERSPREAD ALL OFF
EASTERN NC SUNDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NW
SUNDAY NIGHT AND CROSS THE REGION EARLY MONDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MON AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
WILL CONTINUE HIGH CHANCE POPS AS MOISTURE IS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE.
DRIER AIR WILL SPREAD SOUTH LATE MORNING ENDING RAIN FROM N TO S
BY THE AFTERNOON, AND HAVE ADJUSTED POPS/WX TO REFLECT THIS TREND.
WILL BE MILD WITH LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT UPR 30S TO MID 40S AND HIGHS
MONDAY IN THE 50S. THE FRONT WILL STALL TO THE SOUTH MON NIGHT
WITH DRIER AIR CONTINUING TO SPREAD SOUTH OVER EASTERN NC, THUS
MAINTAINED DRY CONDITIONS MONDAY NIGHT WITH A SMALL SLIGHT CHANCE
AREA ACROSS ONSLOW/DUPLIN COUNTIES TUESDAY MORNING AS THE FRONT TO
THE SOUTH SHIFTS BACK NORTH TOWARDS THE AREA. LOWS IN THE LOWER
30S NW TO LOWER 40S ALONG THE COAST. THE FRONT WILL LIFT BACK
NORTH AS WARM FRONT LATE TUESDAY WITH CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS AS
TEMPS CONTINUE IN THE 50S.
EASTERN NC WILL BE IN WARM SECTOR WEDNESDAY WITH SW WINDS...BOTH
GFS AND ECMWF SHOW LIMITED MOISTURE OVER REGION SO MAINTAINED
LOWERED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AND TEMPS INTO LOWER 70S INLAND. NEAR
SHORE WATER TEMPS ARE COLD AND THIS WILL KEEP BEACHES MUCH COOLER
WITH POSSIBLE THREAT OF SEA FOG. STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
WED EVENING AND CROSS LATE WED NIGHT. THE 12Z GFS HAS SLOWED DOWN
A BIT AND THE 12Z ECMWF/CANADIAN GEM HAVE TRENDED FASTER, INCREASING
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE WED NIGHT. SYSTEM
LOOKS WET AND INCREASED POPS TO GOOD CHANCE WED NIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING. VERY MILD AHEAD OF THE FRONT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING THEN
STRONG CAA DEVELOPS LATER THURSDAY WITH TEMPS FALLING IN THE
AFTERNOON. GFS/ECMWF SUGGEST LOW LEVELS COOLING ENOUGH FOR POSSIBLE
PTYPE ISSUES BUT FOR NOW WILL KEEP AS ALL RAIN. RAIN WILL END
THURSDAY EVENING FROM NW TO SE, WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
EAST OVER THE REGION FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AREA INTO SATURDAY.
THICKNESSES FALL QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT FRIDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY
EXPECTED IN THE 40S FRIDAY AND UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S SATURDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/...
CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY LOWER TO MVFR AFTER MIDNIGHT AS ISENTROPIC
LIFT OF MOISTURE OVER SHALLOW COLD DOME LEADS TO INCREASED CLOUDS
WITH A TROF OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFF THE COAST. EXPECT CIGS/VSBYS
LOWERING TO AT LEAST MVFR WITH POTENTIAL IFR DEEPER INLAND EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE/LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE SLOW TO SCOUR
OUT AFTER SUNRISE SUNDAY SO EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS TO LINGER THROUGH MIDDAY.

CIGS/VSBYS. FRONT WILL STALL TO SOUTH MON NIGHT WITH MAINLY VFR AS
DRIER AIR SPREAD SOUTH. THE FRONT WILL LIFT BACK NORTH AS WARM
