AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
718 PM EDT TUE MAY 3 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE THIS EVENING...ARE
EXPECTED AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. A COLD UPPER LOW WILL
DROP OVER THE CAROLINAS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BRINGING COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND SCATTERED GUSTY SHOWERS. DRYING AND WARMING WILL
FOLLOW INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 630 PM TUESDAY...REALLY ONLY ISOLATED COVERAGE OF
THUNDERSTORMS UNDERWAY THIS EVENING. WOULD EXPECT THE COVERAGE TO
REMAIN LIMITED VIA UPSTREAM RADAR LOOPS AND NEAR TERM GUIDANCE.
SOME POSSIBILITY OF VERY LATE ACTIVITY ALONG THE COAST PROBABLY
NOT OF THE MAGNITUDE WE SAW THIS MORNING. ONLY MINOR CHANGES WITH
THE FIRST EVENING UPDATE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS:

MUCH AS EXPECTED WE ARE SEEING SOME REGENERATION OF CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON IN THE AREAS THAT CLEARED THE EARLIEST...AND THUS
HEATED UP THE QUICKEST. HOWEVER...THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN WEAK TO
MODERATE IN SCOPE SO FAR AND THAT IS LIKELY DUE TO THE THOROUGH
WORKING OVER THE ATMOSPHERE RECEIVED LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING.
HOWEVER...THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE THREAT HAS TOTALLY
DIMINISHED. WE NOW HAVE THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA COVERED BY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 140...WHICH IS GOOD UNTIL 01Z. SOUNDING
ANALYSIS SHOWS A RETURN TO A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE
IMPENDING...IF VERY SLOW MOVING...COLD FRONT AND A SERIES OF WEAK
UPPER IMPULSES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE DEEPENING 500MB LONGWAVE TROUGH
AND A FAVORABLE WIND SHEAR PROFILE. SO...WE WILL BE RAMPING UP
POPS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH PRECIP POTENTIAL PEAKING
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING BEFORE TAPERING OFF
OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER HALF INCH QPF DOES NOT SEEM UNREASONABLE SHOULD
THIS SCENARIO PLAY OUT. WILL ADD SVR WORDING TO THE ZONES TO COVER
THE LATEST WATCH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...A VERY UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL
DROP SOUTH OVER EASTERN CONUS THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH THE UPPER
COLD POOL SITTING DIRECTLY OVERHEAD BY THURSDAY EVENING. AT THE
SURFACE A COLD FRONT WILL VERY SLOWLY PUSH EAST AND OFFSHORE FROM
THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL MAKE FOR A COOLING TREND...WITH HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 70S ON WEDNESDAY DROPPING TO RIGHT AROUND 70 ON
THURSDAY. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL ONLY BE AROUND 50. STEEP LAPSE
RATES INDUCED BY THE UPPER COLD POOL WILL ENHANCE PRECIP
POTENTIAL...WITH SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS BOTH DAYS...PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...PERIOD BEGINS WITH OMEGA BLOCK IN PLACE
BUT BLOCK IS SHORT LIVED AND BY THE START OF NEXT WEEK MID LEVEL
RIDGING TO THE WEST WILL BE HEADING EAST. BEST PRECIP CHANCES WILL
BE FRI WHEN MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE HIGHEST. PRESENCE OF ANY
MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND THE COLD 5H LOW OVER NC/VA WILL ALMOST
CERTAINLY PRODUCE ISOLATED AFTERNOON CONVECTION...BUT THE BEST
ACTIVITY MAY END UP NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL
RUN BELOW CLIMO FRI AND FRI NIGHT.

PRECIP CHANCES WILL DECREASE FOR THE WEEKEND. THE MID LEVEL LOW
WILL BE LIFTING NORTHEAST ON SAT. ALTHOUGH SOME MID LEVEL COLD AIR
REMAINS IN PLACE THE LACK OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND WEAKENING MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL MAKE AFTERNOON SHOWERS LESS LIKELY. MID
LEVELS DRY OUT EVEN MORE ON SUN AS THE 5H RIDGE MOVES EAST AND
DOWNSLOPE FLOW/SUBSIDENCE INCREASES. BACKDOOR COLD FRONT TRIES TO
DROP IN FROM THE NORTH MON/TUE BUT NOT SURE HOW FAR SOUTH IT WILL
MOVE BEFORE STALLING. THERE IS LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR SOME PRECIP
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT BUT FOR NOW PLAN TO MAINTAIN DRY
FORECAST THROUGH END OF THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES NEAR SO SLIGHTLY
BELOW CLIMO SAT WILL RUN ABOVE CLIMO SUN THROUGH TUE. IF THE COLD
FRONT DROPS FARTHER SOUTH THAN EXPECTED TEMPS COULD END UP NEAR
CLIMO MON AND MON NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 00Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN PREDOMINANT VFR THIS VALID
PERIOD...BUT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE RESTRICTIONS
AT TIMES.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL EASE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND
THE TERMINALS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY WITH VFR THE FIRST PART OF
THE OVERNIGHT...WITH SW WINDS REMAINING ELEVATED PREVENTING ANY FOG.
AFTER MIDNIGHT...A COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST WILL APPROACH AND THIS
WILL SPAWN RENEWED CLOUD COVER AND POSSIBLY CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN.
BEST CHANCE FOR TSTMS WILL BE AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS...WHERE TEMPO
MVFR/-TSRA HAS BEEN INTRODUCED. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY...LIKELY
NOT CROSSING OFFSHORE UNTIL AFTER THIS VALID PERIOD...SO THE FORCING
ALONG THIS FRONT WILL ALLOW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO PERSIST IN
A SCATTERED NATURE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTN. THE BEST CHANCE OF THIS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT THE COAST...AND GUIDANCE HAS DECENT COVERAGE
OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ON WEDNESDAY. CONFIDENCE IS LOWER INLAND AND
HAVE OPTED NOT TO INCLUDE SHOWERS AFTER DAYBREAK THERE...BUT THIS
MAY NEED TO BE ADDED WITH FUTURE TAF ISSUANCES. BRIEFLY HEAVY
RAINFALL REDUCING VISIBILITY WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD TO AVIATION
OVERNIGHT AND ON WEDNESDAY...AS WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AS THEY FLUCTUATE
FROM SW...TO NW...AND THEN BACK TO WEST LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCT MVFR IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THU/FRI.
VFR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 630 PM TUESDAY...NO CHANGES TO THE COASTAL WATERS FORECAST
THIS EVENING. EXPECT SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10-15 KNOTS AND SEAS OF
2-4 FEET.  PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS:

SW FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS A COLD
FRONT ADVANCES UPON THE COASTAL WATERS. FRONT WILL BE SLOW MOVING
AND MAY NOT MAKE IT OFFSHORE BY SUNRISE. GREATEST THREAT TO
MARINERS OVERNIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO BE FROM SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY SEVERE...WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE...EXPECTING SW WINDS OF
10 TO 15 KTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS AND SEAS OF 2 TO 4 FT. SEAS SE OF
CAPE FEAR MAY RUN A BIT HIGHER THOUGH...MORE LIKE 3 TO 5 FT.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL VERY SLOWLY MAKE ITS WAY
ACROSS THE WATERS ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH SW WINDS
EARLY IN THE PERIOD ULTIMATELY BECOMING WEST AND NW BY THE END OF
THE SHORT TERM. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
PRESENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE COLD SURGE FOLLOWING FROPA IS NOT
EXPECTED TO BRING ADVISORY CONDITIONS ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY GUST UP
TO AROUND 25 KTS IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES FRI WITH
SPEEDS OF 15 TO 20 KT FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. SLOW MOVING SURFACE LOW
IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION WILL KEEP THE GRADIENT TIGHT INTO SAT.
GRADIENT DOES START TO RELAX SAT AFTERNOON AS THE LOW STARTS
MOVING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. REDUCTION IN WIND SPEEDS SAT IS
ACCOMPANIED BY A LATE DAY SHIFT TO WEST-SOUTHWEST. SOUTHWEST FLOW
CONTINUES SAT NIGHT AND SUN WITH SPEEDS 10 TO 15 KT. SEAS WILL BE
TRENDING DOWN AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...DROPPING FROM 2 TO 4 FT
FRI AM TO 2 TO 3 FT IN THE AFTERNOON. WEAKENING OFFSHORE FLOW
EVENTUALLY DROPS SEAS TO 2 FT OR LESS SAT BUT DEVELOPMENT OF
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PUSH SEAS BACK TO 2 TO 3 FT SUN.
