AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
321 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL PUSH INLAND EARLY WEDNESDAY. STRONG WINDS WITH
WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY...ALONG WITH A
RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. BREEZY AND DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY AND COOL WEATHER THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...COASTAL FRONT/WARM FRONT HAS BEGUN TO PUSH
JUST INLAND AND NORTH AS WEDGE HOLDS ON THROUGH CENTRAL CAROLINAS.
THE ORIENTATION OF THE BOUNDARY WAS ALMOST WEST TO EAST WITH TEMPS
UP PAST 60 SOUTH AND EAST OF BOUNDARY WHILE TEMPS WERE STILL
STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT MUCH ABOVE 50 INLAND AND NORTH EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. EXPECT BEST CONVERGENCE AND LIFT MAINLY ALONG THIS
FRONT/TROUGH THROUGH THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST WHERE
TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS WILL BE GREATEST. SOUNDINGS SHOW SKINNY
ELEVATED CAPE DIMINISHING THROUGH THIS EVENING BEFORE INCREASING
ONCE AGAIN PAST MIDNIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS TO DEEPEN
AS IT TRACKS N-NE FROM LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THEREFORE TRIED
TO KEEP WEATHER ALIGNED WITH BOUNDARY AS IT ADVANCES NORTHWARD
OVERNIGHT.

TEMPS SHOULD ACTUALLY DROP A FEW DEGREES THROUGH THE
EVENING BUT ONCE THE WARM FRONT BLOWS INLAND AND NORTH BY
DAYBREAK...TEMPS SHOULD REACH INTO THE 60S ACROSS THE AREA. WILL
KEEP SOME ISO THUNDER POSSIBLE ALONG TROUGH/FRONT BUT WITHOUT ONLY
LIMITED CAPE AND NOT MUCH UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...WILL KEEP IT LIMITED
TO MAINLY ALONG COAST AND OFF SHORE.

OVERALL EXPECT PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND INTERMITTENT RAIN/SHOWERS
WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER RAIN OR ISO THUNDERSTORM MAINLY ALONG
FRONT AND CLOSER THE COAST. ONCE WARM FRONT BLOWS NORTH BY
DAYBREAK...THERE SHOULD BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY AND SOME BREAKS IN
CLOUDS NOSING UP FROM THE SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...A SIGNIFICANT RISK IS DEVELOPING FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WEDNESDAY. THIS MAY BE OUR FIRST BIG EVENT OF THE 2016
SPRING SEVERE WEATHER SEASON. IF THIS SPRING UNFOLDS ANYTHING LIKE
1998 (THE LAST MAJOR EL NINO) THIS WON'T BE THE LAST BIG EVENT
EITHER...

POWERFUL LOW PRESSURE MOVING NE THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY WILL DRAG
A COLD FRONT EASTWARD TOWARD THE CAROLINAS. SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE
ADVECTING QUICKLY NORTHWARD BEHIND A WARM FRONT SHOULD OVERSPREAD
THE EASTERN CAROLINAS AROUND DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. THE LOW WILL
HAVE SUCH A LARGE PRESSURE GRADIENT SURROUNDING IT LOW-LEVEL WIND
FIELDS SHOULD GO CRAZY: 975 MB (500-600 FEET AGL) WINDS ARE
PROGGED TO INCREASE TO 35-45 KNOTS WITH A FEW 50 KT SPOTS SHOWING
UP IN GFS DATA. 850 MB WIND SHOULD INCREASE TO 55-65 KNOTS!
SINCE SKIES SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY OVERCAST IN THE MORNING LOOK
FOR TEMPERATURES TO LEAP INTO THE 70S WITH SUBSEQUENT VERTICAL
MIXING DRAGGING DOWN 40-50 MPH WIND GUSTS TO THE SURFACE. A WIND
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT IS WORTH EMPHASIZING THESE STRONG
WINDS WILL OCCUR IN CLEAR AIR WELL AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS.

WITHIN THE MID-LEVEL DRY SLOT A REGION OF STRONG ASCENT SHOULD
SUPPORT A SQUALL LINE ACROSS CENTRAL SC BY NOON...PUSHING ACROSS
THE EASTERN PORTION OF BOTH CAROLINAS DURING THE AFTERNOON.
FORECAST CAPE RANGES FROM 500-1000 J/KG ON MOST MODELS WITH 0-1 KM
HELICITY OF 150-300 M^2/S^2. DAMAGING WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH A
TORNADO/HAIL RISK DEVELOPING NEAR BREAKS IN THE LINE OR WITH ANY
ISOLATED SUPERCELLS AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE. ALTHOUGH A RISK OF
SEVERE WEATHER EXISTS EVERYWHERE WEDNESDAY...THE HIGHEST RISK
APPEARS TO BE INLAND FROM THE BEACHES (DUE TO COOL AND STABLE
MARINE INFLOW) AND ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA DUE TO STRONGER AND MORE
BACKED LOW-LEVEL WINDS IN PROXIMITY TO THE WARM FRONT.

WINDS SHOULD BECOME WESTERLY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT DURING THE
EVENING WITH SHOWERS ENDING. STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY. SUNSHINE ON THURSDAY
SHOULD BRING DOWN ANOTHER PULSE OF STRONG WINDS FROM ALOFT WITH
GUSTS REACHING 35-40 MPH. WINDS SHOULD FINALLY DIMINISH TO LESS
THAN 15 MPH THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...LARGE BUT LOW AMPLITUDE TROUGH ACROSS THE
EAST WILL BE REINFORCED BY A VORT LOBE AND DRY COLD FRONT JUST
BEFORE THIS PERIOD...AND THEN AGAIN BY A SECONDARY VORT LOBE
SATURDAY NIGHT. NEITHER OF THESE FEATURES WILL HAVE ANY PRECIP DUE
TO A VERY DRY COLUMN...AND RIDGING BLOSSOMS QUICKLY BEHIND THE
SECONDARY IMPULSE BY SUNDAY. BENEATH THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE...SURFACE
HIGH SKIRTS OFFSHORE AND THEN SLOWLY DRIFTS EAST FURTHER AWAY FROM
THE COAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...BEFORE YET ANOTHER WEAK/DRY COLD
FRONT CROSSES ON TUESDAY. THIS LEAVES A COMMON THEME FOR THE
EXTENDED...OF DRY WEATHER WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
FRIDAY/SATURDAY...BEFORE WARMING TO SEASONABLE OR ABOVE INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT ON
TUESDAY...TEMPS MAY FALL BACK TO COOLER LEVELS ON THAT DAY...BUT THE
STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY STALL ANY
COOL ADVECTION UNTIL JUST BEYOND THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...A VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM MOVE INTO THE REGION IN THE
NEXT 24 HOURS. FAIRLY BENIGN WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME
SHOWERS EXITING THE REGION. THE WEDGE OVER THE INLAND TERMINALS
SHOULD ERODE BY 20Z OR SO...WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO THE EAST
SOUTHEAST. LOOK FOR SOUTHERLY WINDS AT ALL TERMINALS
TONIGHT...BECOMING GUSTY AS THE GRADIENT INCREASES IN ADVANCE OF
STRONG LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING THE REGION. THINK THERE WILL BE
TWO MAIN BATCHES OF CONVECTION...ONE WITH THE SURGE OF MOISTURE
WILL THE WARM FRONT...AND STRONGER LINE OF STORMS WITH THE COLD
FRONT AT THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. STRONG DYNAMICS ALOFT
(OVER 60 KTS AT 850 MB) COULD PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...BECOMING VFR WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE END OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO VEER TO SE AND S
THROUGH TONIGHT AS COASTAL TROUGH/WARM FRONT PUSHES NORTH AND WEST.
EXPECT SE TO S WINDS 10 TO 15 KT THROUGH THIS EVENING BUT EXPECT
AN INCREASE OUT OF THE S UP TO 20 KTS BY DAYBREAK AS LOW PRESSURE
DEEPENS AS IT MOVES N-NE OUT OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE
INCREASING ON SHORE PUSH WILL PRODUCE A STEADY RISE IN SEAS AFTER
MIDNIGHT REACHING ABOVE SCA THRESHOLDS BY DAYBREAK. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WILL NOT BE ISSUED DUE TO THE ISSUANCE OF A GALE WARNING
FOR VERY STRONG WINDS COMING LATER IN THE MORNING. INTERMITTENT SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED TSTMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT. SEAS WILL
BASICALLY REMAIN IN THE 2 TO 4 FT RANGE THROUGH THIS EVENING BUT
WILL INCREASE UP TO 3 TO 6 FT MOST WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT. CHOP
WILL INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING SE-S WINDS.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVING NE THROUGH THE
OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT EASTWARD...CROSSING
THE CAROLINA COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY EVENING. WINDS SURROUNDING
THIS LOW WILL BECOME EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG...AND A GALE WARNING HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR THE COASTAL WATERS WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT GUSTS
WILL EXCEED 35 KNOTS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND AGAIN THURSDAY
MORNING.

SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS A WARM
FRONT LIFTS INLAND. WHILE THE EFFECTS OF WARM AIR BLOWING OVER
COLD WATER WILL PARTIALLY REDUCE THE IMPACTS OF THIS WIND...ENOUGH
MOMENTUM TRANSFER SHOULD STILL OCCUR TO PUSH SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS
TO 25-30 KNOTS DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BUILD SEAS TO AS
HIGH AS 8-12 FEET INSIDE 20 MILES FROM SHORE. ONCE COLD AIR PUSHES
OFFSHORE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY EVENING...GUSTY WEST
WINDS WILL BLOW ALL THE WAY THROUGH THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BE OFFSHORE FRIDAY
MORNING LEAVING GUSTY W/NW WINDS OF 15-20 KTS IN ITS WAKE. THESE
WINDS WILL BE SHORT LIVED HOWEVER...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
FROM THE WEST WILL CAUSE THE GRADIENT TO WEAKEN AND WINDS TO TURN TO
THE NORTH AROUND 10 KTS BY SATURDAY MORNING. WIND SPEEDS WILL REMAIN
LIGHT SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD AND THEN SLOWLY
DRIFTS OFFSHORE DURING SUNDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE WINDS TO BACK AGAIN
TO THE SW AND SLOWLY INCREASE LATE IN THE PERIOD. HIGHEST SEAS WILL
BE EARLY FRIDAY WHEN A FEW RESIDUAL 6 FTERS ARE POSSIBLE BEFORE
FALLING QUICKLY ON THE OFFSHORE FLOW TO 2-3 FT FRIDAY NIGHT...AND
THEN 1-2 FT MOST OF SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
