Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
143 PM EDT MON JUL 4 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Summertime heat and humidity will continue to build making it
increasingly uncomfortable this week. The Bermuda High will
strengthen across the eastern Carolinas this week as a weak cold
front meanders to our north, before dissipating into mid week as the
ridge takes over.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1000 AM Monday...A steamy morning greets this 4th of July as
an increasingly hot and humid airmass spreads across the area. A
cold front has sagged south overnight and is slowly lifting north
across the CWA, but is easily identifiable by widespread stratus to
the north and mostly clear sky conditions to the south. There is
also a significant difference in dewpoints (near 80 south, mid 70s
north) along with cooler temps within what amounts to a weak wedge.
The question for the rest of the morning is how quickly can the
front lift north and whether this morning cloud cover will keep
highs below forecast values across the NW tier.

Large high pressure offshore will become the dominant feature today,
and slow northward progression of the front is expected. Temps are
running a bit below guidance within the cloud cover, and concern
exists that highs will not reach forecast values that far north.
Still expect the front to push north thanks to strong heating across
SC, but have trimmed highs just a bit, mostly for Robeson and Bladen
counties. This suggests that heat advisory criteria may struggled to
be reached in far NW zones, but for now have left the hazard
unchanged until a better picture can be formed about how the front
will evolve. The front is still progged to push through the CWA by
this aftn, but we need every hour of heating to reach those 105+
heat index values with temps in the low to mid 90s.

SPC has maintained a MRGL risk for the area today, but coverage is
not expected to be quite as widespread as yesterday. Forecast
profiles show very significant instability (3000-4000 J/kg of
SBCAPE), but increasing ridging and westerly flow aloft will
somewhat limit the potential of this to be tapped due to weakening
ML lapse rates and dry air aloft. The sea breeze and piedmont trough
will both serve as foci for convection this aftn, as will any
residual outflows from yesterday's convection. However, the primary
location for convection initiation may be on the differential
heating boundary/northward retreating front, especially if it hangs
on another hour or two to increase the temp gradient. The high res
ARW is preferred for this aftn, and POP is capped around 40% for NC,
slightly less in SC. Isolated downbursts are possible, hence the MRGL
risk, but do not expect widespread convection, much less severe.

Convection will wane slowly with loss of heating, but some fireworks
events may be impacted by residual thunderstorms, especially inland.
Temps tonight will remain very warm on continued SW flow, dropping
only to around 80 at the coast, upper 70s inland.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 AM Monday...The Bermuda High will ridge more strongly
across Florida from the east Tuesday and Wednesday, maintaining a
hot and humid southwest wind across the Carolinas. With the synoptic
front hundreds of miles to our north the triggers for convection
will include only the seabreeze plus differential heating along the
Sandhills/Piedmont soil interface. Highs should soar into the mid to
upper 90s both Tuesday and Wednesday inland from the coast. Recent
MOS bias calculations even suggest Whiteville, Elizabethtown, and
Florence have some potential of hitting 100 degrees on Tuesday. A
heat advisory will probably be needed again Tuesday, and perhaps
Wednesday as well.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 300 AM Monday...Mid level shortwave streaks by on Thursday
while piedmont trough remains in place. This should be a good
setup for scattered convection especially given the continued hot
weather yielding ample instability. Similar surface setup on
Friday but likely without any mid level forcing and weak ridging
tries to build. Hot weather with only widely scattered convection
will last through the weekend as the mid level ridging remains.
Most days of the long term appear to be good candidates for Heat
Advisories unless deep mixing and the westerly mid level flow puts
a slight dent in dewpoints.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 18Z...A frontal boundary near a KILM to KLBT TO n of KFLO
line this morning has shifted slowly north. A decent cu field has
developed and convection started to flare along sea breeze. The
potential for showers and thunderstorms will ramp up but most of
the strongest activity will remain aligned with receding front to
the north and any activity that develops along the front should
move NE away from the terminals. Elsewhere activity will be more
isolated/widely scattered. High resolution models continue to
suggest quite a bit of convection along sea breeze boundary
affecting KILM, KCRE and KMYR with potential a bit later at
inland TAFs.

Convection becomes more isolated as the afternoon progress, and
around 00Z should end. Winds will remain elevated during the
evening and overnight so the chance the VFR will continue is
high.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...Mainly VFR. Possible brief MVFR/IFR
from scattered convection each day. Possible brief MVFR from fog
or low ceilings each morning.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1000 AM Monday...A cold front currently aligned just NW of the
waters will continue to lift slowly north through late morning as
high pressure expands from the Atlantic. This will keep SW winds
ongoing across the waters today at 10-15 kts. The exception will be
within the immediate near-shore waters where a sea breeze will cause
local backing to the south with an increase to 15-20 kts. Although
the sea breeze will ease tonight, a subtle increase in the gradient
in response to a low pressure moving through the OH VLY will cause
synoptic winds across all the waters to rise to 15-20 kts tonight.

Seas of 3-4 ft today will increase to 3-5 ft tonight on the
increasing winds thanks to an amplifying 5 sec SW wave. A SE 8-9 sec
wave will persist around the offshore high pressure, but the average
wave period will likely be much shorter than this due to the
significant wind wave.

Thunderstorms inland will try to drift east this aftn/eve as
westerly winds persist in the atmospheric column. However, these
should weaken east of the sea breeze and significant convection is
not expected across the coastal waters today, although scattered
showers and weakening thunderstorms are possible.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 AM Monday...High pressure will expand westward across
Florida just south of 30 degrees north latitude Tuesday and
Wednesday. Waves of low pressure will continue to move eastward
along a quasi-stationary front across the Great Lakes and New
England. This will maintain a fairly tight pressure gradient
across the Carolinas with unseasonably strong southwesterly winds
the result. The potential for 20 kt winds/5 foot waves will exist
Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night which would necessitate a
"Small Craft Exercise Caution" headline. Winds may be a little
weaker on Wednesday.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 AM Monday...Wind will be out of the southwest through
the period as high pressure offshore shows little movement. Seas
will average 2 to 4 ft, being a combo of SW wind wave and SE
swell.
