AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
739 AM EDT SAT APR 9 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY UNDER SUNSHINE AS A
MOISTURE LIMITED CLIPPER LOW NORTH OF THE AREA SKIRTS OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST THIS EVENING. VERY COLD AIR IN WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM
WILL BRING FREEZING TEMPERATURES TO MOST OF THE AREA EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL BUILD FROM THE NORTHWEST FROM MID TO LATE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 636 AM SATURDAY...THE DOORS TO THE NORTH AND WEST WILL OPEN
UP TODAY IN WAKE OF A TRANSITING DRY COLD FRONT ACROSS THE COAST
IN THE AFTERNOON...ALLOWING THE LEADING EDGE OF MODIFIED ARCTIC
AIR TO SPILL SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS NE SC AND SE NC...AS A CLIPPER
LOW MOVES OFFSHORE OF THE MID-ATLANTIC TONIGHT. NO CHANGES TO THE
FREEZE WARNING AND WATCH CONFIGURATION...CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH YET TO RAISE THE WATCH AREA TO A WARNING OVER INLAND
GEORGETOWN AND WILLIAMSBURG COUNTIES...AND WILL ALLOW THE LUXURY
OF ANOTHER MODEL RUN TO FINE TUNE THE LAY-OUT WITH REGARD TO OUR
VERY SOUTHERN SC COUNTIES. NO WIND ADVISORY PLANNED TODAY DESPITE
ISOLATED GUSTY CONDITIONS...LOCAL CRITERIA STANDS AT...31-39 MPH
SUSTAINED FOR AN HOUR OR ANY GUSTS OF 46-57 MPH...AND BELIEVE WE
WILL BE SHY OF THAT. THE DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL ELEVATE THE
FIRE DANGER HOWEVER AND THIS IS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH IN THE FIRE WX
SECTION BELOW.

RECORD LOWS FOR FOR APRIL 10TH INCLUDE ILM 31 IN 2007...FLO 28 IN
1996...AND CRE 33 IN 1996. THESE RECORDS ARE VERY NEAR FORECAST
VALUES FOR EARLY SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM SATURDAY...THE LEADING WEATHER HEADLINE SUNDAY AND
MONDAY WILL A NEAR RECORD COLD START DAYBREAK SUNDAY...FOLLOWED
BY A 40 DEGREE WARM UP A LITTLE OVER 30 HOURS LATER DURING MONDAY
AFTERNOON...AS MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES MONDAY RISE WELL INTO THE
70S. ASIDE FROM CIRRUS PASSAGE SUNDAY NIGHT...AND RETURN FLOW
AND HEAT-INDUCED CUMULUS MONDAY IN THE WARMING TREND...NO
SENSIBLE WEATHER OF NOTE IS EXPECTED IN FAIR CONDITIONS. LIGHT
WINDS SUNDAY AS THE HIGH PASSES NEAR...BECOME SOUTHERLY MONDAY AS
THE SURFACE HIGH MIGRATES WELL OFFSHORE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM SATURDAY...THE END OF DRY AND SUNNY WEATHER WILL COME
ON TUESDAY AS CLOUDS AND SHOWERS INCREASE AHEAD OF COLD FRONT
CROSSING THE CAROLINAS. PCP WATER VALUES WILL SHOOT BACK UP OVER
1.25 INCHES IN INCREASING S-SW WINDS. BEST UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
WILL COMBINE WITH LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH COLD FRONT TO PRODUCE
INCREASED SHWRS/TSTMS THROUGH TUES AFTN INTO TUES EVE.

CONTINUED NORTHERLY FLOW POST FROPA WED THROUGH FRI...GRADUALLY
COMING AROUND TO THE NE. MODELS DEFINITELY SHOW SOME
INCONSISTENCIES WHEN IT COMES TO MID WEEK BUT FALL BACK IN LINE
TOWARD THE WEEKEND AS RIDGE BUILDS UP THE EAST COAST. THE LATEST
GFS KEEPS SHORTWAVE RIDING WAY SOUTH AND MUCH DRIER FORECAST FOR
THE CAROLINAS WITH HIGH PRESSURE WINNING OUT. BUT THE ECMWF BRINGS
LOW UP THROUGH THE APPALACHIANS THURS INTO FRI WITH MORE OF A
WEDGE TYPE SCENARIO. EITHER WAY IT LOOKS LIKE FRONT SHOULD CLEAR
WITH HIGH BUILDING DOWN FOR WED AND THEN POTENTIAL FOR SOME CLOUDS
ON THURS. BEST CHC OF PCP WOULD BE OVER SOUTH CAROLINA ON THURS
INTO FRI BUT WILL TREND TOWARD DRIER FORECAST FOR NOW WITH LOW END
POPS THURS INTO FRI.

TEMPS WILL BE WARM AHEAD OF COLD FRONT ON TUES...MID 70S MOST
PLACES. POST FROPA...EXPECT COOLER NORTHERLY FLOW WED THROUGH
THURS BUT TEMPS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH SUN THERE IS. BETTER
CHC OF CLOUDS AND LOW END PCP WED AND THURS KEEPING TEMPS IN THE
60S BUT BY FRI OR DEFINITELY BY THE WEEKEND SHOULD SEE TEMPS INTO
THE 70S AGAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 12Z...CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH FOR VFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT
THE VALID FORECAST PERIOD.

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD REMAINS TO BE AN INCREASE IN THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE SE IN RESPONSE TO ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE MOVING
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND LOW PRESSURE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO INCREASE TO AROUND 20 KT BY LATE MORNING WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KT
EXPECTED INTO THE AFTERNOON.  WINDS WILL ABATE LATE IN THE AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS AND AROUND SUNSET ALONG THE COASTAL TERMINALS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR THROUGH TUESDAY. SHOWERS WITH A COLD FRONT
POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 636 AM SATURDAY...MARINE CONDITIONS WILL BECOME HAZARDOUS
TODAY BECAUSE OF W WIND GUSTS TO 30 KT...SEAS WILL BE HIGHEST
OFFSHORE. A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON WILL VEER WINDS TO
THE NW AS COLD AIR SETS IN TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. NO TSTMS OR
RESTRICTIONS TO VISIBILITY EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. WINDS WILL
EASE LATE TONIGHT AND WIND-DRIVEN SEAS WILL SETTLE NEARLY AS
QUICKLY SO THE ADVISORY MAY BE DROPPED PRIOR TO DAYBREAK SUNDAY
DEPENDING ON OFFSHORE SEA HEIGHTS.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM SATURDAY...VASTLY IMPROVED MARINE CONDITIONS ON TAP
SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE PASSES NEARLY OVERHEAD TO JUST
NORTH OF THE WATERS SUNDAY AND OFFSHORE MONDAY. THIS WILL EASE
WINDS TO 15 KT OR LESS BOTH DAYS AS WINDS RETURN TO SOUTHERLY
MONDAY AS THE HIGH SETS OFF TO SEA. ESSENTIALLY 2-3 FOOT SEAS
CAN BE EXPECTED THIS PERIOD WITH NO TSTMS OR RESTRICTIONS TO
VISIBILITY. NO SIGNIFICANT LONG PERIOD WAVES OF DISTANT ORIGIN
ARE SEEN IN THE MOST RECENT SPECTRAL BULLETINS AT FRYING PAN.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM SATURDAY...INCREASING S-SW WINDS AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT WILL REACH UP TO 15 KTS. NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE BUT ENOUGH
TO KICK SEAS UP A BIT...FROM LESS THAN 3 FT EARLY TUES UP TO 3 TO
4 FT BY TUES NIGHT. ONCE COLD FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS TUES
NIGHT...WINDS WILL KICK AROUND TO THE NORTH...VEERING TO THE N-NE
THROUGH WED AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN OVER THE WATERS. THE
STRONGER NORTHERLY FLOW WILL PUSH SEAS UP A LITTLE FURTHER...UP TO
4 TO 5 FT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AS OF 300 AM FRIDAY...DANGEROUS FIRE CONDITIONS TODAY.

INCREASING W-NW WINDS UP TO 15-25 MPH WILL GUST UP TO 35 MPH. AT
THE SAME TIME...VERY DRY AIR ADVECTING INTO THE AREA WILL ALLOW
AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TO DROP TO NEAR 20 PERCENT.
THIS COMBINATION OF STRONGER WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY MEET
RED FLAG CRITERIA...AND AFTER COLLABORATION WITH NORTH CAROLINA
FORESTRY OFFICIALS...A RED FLAG WARNING WAS ISSUED FOR ALL OF
SOUTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA. THIS WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO
8 PM...WITH THE MOST DANGEROUS CONDITIONS EXPECTED BETWEEN NOON
AND 6 PM.

ALTHOUGH METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS ARE SIMILARLY DANGEROUS TO
FIRES ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA...FUEL MOISTURES ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER
AND JUST ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. AFTER COORDINATION WITH SOUTH
CAROLINA FORESTRY...AN INCREASED FIRE DANGER STATEMENT WAS ISSUED
RATHER THAN AN RFW. THIS IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF NORTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA FOR TODAY.
