AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
315 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP LOW PRESSURE PASSING WELL TO THE NORTHWEST WILL PUSH A WARM
FRONT THROUGH THE AREA EARLY WEDNESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK INTERRUPTED BRIEFLY BY DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGES
FRIDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE JUST OFF THE NRN OBX
AND LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA THIS EVE. SCT-NMRS SHOWERS ARE MOVG
ACRS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE LIFTS ACROSS THE
REGION SHUD TAPER OFF TO SCT THIS EVE. A STRONG LOW PRES SYSTEM
WILL LIFT FROM THE LOWER MISS RIVER VALLEY INTO THE TENN RIVER
VALLEY TONIGHT WITH A WARM FRONT LIFTING ACROSS EASTERN NC LATE
TONIGHT. INCREASING MOISTURE OFF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION WITH WINDS VEERING TO
S/SE AFTER MIDNIGHT. EXPECT A NON-DIURNAL TEMPERATURE CURVE WITH
LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S EXPECTED IN THE EVENING AND TEMPS
RISING AFTER MIDNIGHT AS WAA INCREASES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...A DEEP MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ANCHORED IN
THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST. THE ASSOCIATED SFC LOW
CENTER ACROSS TN WILL INTENSIFY AS IT LIFTS NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY. THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA
WEDNESDAY LEAVING THE REGION IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. THE UPPER TROUGH BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILTED WITH STG UPR
DYNAMICS MOVING FROM THE PIEDMONT WED MORNING AND THROUGH ENC IN
THE AFTN/EVENING HOURS.

CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP...SOME OF WHICH
MAY BECOME SEVERE DURG THE AFTN AND EVE HOURS ACRS ENC...GIVEN
INSTABILITY (1000-1500J/KG) BETWEEN MID AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...IMPRESSIVE BULK SHEAR NOT
WITHIN 0-6KM...STRONG DIVERGENCE ALOFT WITHIN THE LEFT EXIT REGION
OF THE JET...SRH VALUES ABOVE 400 M2/S2 AND INCREASING DEW POINTS
INTO THE MID 60S. WE ANTICIPATE THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING
STRAIGHTLINE WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. AS MOISTURE SURGES
ACROSS THE AREA WITH PWAT VALUES INCREASE TO NEAR 1.5" AND AMPLE
FORCING FOR ASCENT AHEAD OF THE FRONT LCLY HVY WILL BE A THREAT AS
WELL. EXPECT 1-1.5" OF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS. WITH SOILS ALREADY SATURATED QUICK PONDING ON ROADWAYS
AND MINOR FLOODING OF POOR DRAINAGE AREAS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT.
PEAK TIMING OF THESE SEVERE AND FLOODING THREATS WILL BE AFT 18Z.

SPC CONTS TO HIGHLIGHT EASTERN NC IN ENHANCED RISK OF SVR
THUNDERSTORMS...PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FORECAST AS
WEATHER CONDITIONS COULD BECOME DANGEROUS WED AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...A STRONG COLD FRONT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WILL CROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WITH DRY AIR WILL PREVAIL ACROSS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK PUNCTUATED BRIEFLY BY DRY COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGES FRIDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: A DEEP MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION WHILE THE ASSOCIATED TROUGH BECOMES
NEGATIVELY TILTED. AT THE SURFACE A STRONG COLD FRONT IS FORECAST
TO MOVE ACROSS EASTERN NC AFTER MIDNIGHT. APPEARS BEST SEVERE
THREAT WILL OCCUR WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH THE THREAT
EXPECTED TO BE OVER BY 03Z. STRONG KINEMATIC AND THERMODYNAMICS
WILL LEAD TO A LINE OF STRONG CONVECTION MOVING OFF OF THE COAST
IN THE EARLY EVENING FOLLOWED BY LIGHTER SHOWERS UNTIL THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL SLOWLY FILTER INTO THE REGION
BEHIND THE FRONT. GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME WESTERLY AND
REMAIN STRONG BEHIND THE FRONT. LOWS WILL DROP TO 45 TO 50 DEGREES
LATE.

THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT: CONDITIONS BEGIN TO IMPROVE BEHIND THE
FRONT WITH DRIER WESTERLY FLOW BECOMING ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE
REGION. COLD ADVECTION WILL BE OFFSET BY DRYING DOWNSLOPE FLOW SO
EXPECTING HIGH TEMPERATURES 55 TO 60 DEGREES. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE
WINDY CONDITIONS WITH STRONG GRADIENT LEADING TO SUSTAINED WINDS
15 TO 25 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KTS. DUE TO THE VERY WET SOILS FROM
ANTECEDENT RAINS THERE WILL BE A SMALL RISK FOR A FEW DOWNED
TREES/TREE LIMBS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH A BIT AFTER SUNSET WITH
CLEAR SKIES. EXPECTING LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE MID 30S.

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY WITH GENERALLY HIGH SURFACE PRESSURES.
A DRY REINFORCING COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE REGION
FRIDAY. HIGHS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY INLAND WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER
40S TO LOWER 50S WITH MID 40S OUTER BANKS.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY: UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL LATE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW
PREVAILING. HIGHER HEIGHTS WILL YIELD HIGHER THICKNESS VALUES
WITH THE RESULT BEING WARMER TEMPERATURES. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL BE
MAINLY IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S WARMING INTO THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 60S MONDAY. A DRY COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE
REGION MONDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR FOR TUESDAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S EXPECTED.

AFTER MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE COAST AT OAJ AND EWN
..SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY OCCUR WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT...MAINLY AFT 18Z. THERE WILL BE STORMS MOVING INTO THE
REGION FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST. ANTICIPATE LOWERING CIGS/VSBYS
ASSOCIATED WITH STORMS OR RAIN BANDS. THE MAIN LINE OF PRECIP WILL
MOVE THROUGH AFT 21Z FROM WEST TO EAST. VERY GUSTY SOUTH WINDS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE 25-30 KT RANGE. THESE
STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH THE THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY ...SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY OCCUR
WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH SHOWERS/STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS

INCLUDING THE ALBEMARLE SOUND AND ALLIGATOR RIVER...THE NORTHERN
COASTAL WATERS N OF OREGON INLET...AND THE RIVERS ADJACENT TO THE

A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRES EAST OF THE NORTHERN OBX WILL LIFT TO
THE NORTH THIS EVENING WITH VARIABLE WINDS 5-10 KT ACROSS THE
NRN WATERS...AND SLY 10-15 KT ACROSS THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN WATERS EAST OF THE COASTAL TROUGH WITH 2-5 FT
SEAS. A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT ACROSS THE WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT
AHEAD OF A STRONG LOW PRES SYSTEM LIFTING INTO THE TN RIVER VALLEY
WITH WINDS VEERING TO S/SE AND INCREASING TO 10-20 KT ACROSS MOST
OF THE WATERS EXCEPT UP TO 25 KT ACROSS THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN WATERS BY LATE TONIGHT. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 5-8 FT
AFTER MIDNIGHT. A DEEPENING LOW WILL TRACK ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE WATERS. AHEAD
OF THIS FRONT WILL BE STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES THROUGH
THE DAY WEDNESDAY TO 20-3O KT WITH HIGHER GUSTS IN THE MORNING
HOURS THEN 25-35 KT IN THE AFTN. SEAS WILL BUILD UP TO 12 FT LATE
WEDNESDAY AFTN BETWEEN CAPE LOOKOUT AND HATTERAS. HIGH SURF MAY
DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTH FACING BEACHES WITH STG ONSHORE FLOW.
MINOR OVERWASH/EROSION MAY ALSO BECOME AN ISSUE...ALTHOUGH THE
DURATION OF THE EVENT SHOULD LIMIT THE IMPACTS.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 300 PM
TUESDAY...POOR BOATING CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. GALE FORCE WINDS AND DANGEROUS SEAS IN EXCESS OF
10 FEET ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS 25 TO 35 KT WITH HIGHER GUSTS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL BECOME WESTERLY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT
AND CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT WITH 10 TO 12 FT SEAS. STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS AND
WATERSPOUTS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR WEDNESDAY EVENING AHEAD OF THE
FRONT.

WESTERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM 20 TO 30 KT EARLY
FRIDAY TO NORTHWEST 10 TO 20 KT LATE. THIS WILL RESULT IN SEAS
SLOWLY SUBSIDING FROM 8 TO 10 FT EARLY TO 3 TO 5 FT LATE.
