Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
252 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will slide south of the area tonight. A strong cold
front will approach from the west Saturday and move offshore
Saturday night. High pressure will build in behind the front
through early next week. Another cold front will approach the area
by the middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 3 PM Fri...The surface high will gradually weaken and move
S overnight allowing a light SW flow to develop over the area.
Still shld see decent radiational cooling but will be a little
milder with lows in mid 40s inland to 50s beaches.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY/...
As of 3 PM Fri...A strong cold front will approach the region
Saturday, moving into Eastern NC late in the afternoon. While the
airmass remain relatively dry, strong forcing with the front could
produce a brief period of light showers late in the afternoon,
mainly west of highway 17. Rainfall amounts will be very light and
may barely wet the ground. W to SW winds will be increasing
through the day ahead of the front with WAA pushing temps well
into the 70s most areas and a few locations may top out around 80,
approaching record values at a few locations. See the climate
section below for details and records. In addition, the gusty
winds and low humidity will produce an increased fire danger
across portions of the area. See the Fire Weather section below
for more detail.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

progged to push through Eastern NC Thanksgiving day.

Saturday Night through Monday...Surface low moving out of the
upper midwest will become vertically stacked near the Great Lakes
Sat, pushing into the NE US Sun, while the attendant cold front
moves through Eastern NC Sat evening/night. Models continue to
trend drier Sat evening with the front, but will keep an isolated
shower mention across the eastern half of the CWA early in the
evening given the strong upper level forcing. Sunday will see
strong CAA develop, strengthening post frontal WNW winds and high
temps in the upper 40s to low 50s...which will be about 20-30
degrees colder than Sat. Sunday night/Monday morning still looks
like the coldest night with low dropping into the 30s...combined
with WNW winds...wind chills likely in the 20s. Freezing temps
will be possible for areas that have not yet seen a hard freeze
this season.

Tuesday through Friday...High pressure will continue to build
over the area as upper level flow gradually becomes more zonal.
Low level thickness values support highs in the mid 50s
Tuesday...warming into the upper 50s/60s Wed and Thu. Cold temps
still expected Tuesday morning, with freezing temps inland
possible, then warming a few degrees through mid-week. Tuesday
morning could be just as cold if not colder than Monday morning as
axis of high pressure builds along the coastal Carolinas, with
lighter winds and good radiational cooling. High pressure will
shift off the coast Wednesday as next frontal system approaches
from the west. Surface low is progged to push through the Great
Lakes region Wed, the Mid- Atlantic and NE US Thu, pushing a cold
front through the area Thu. Models show slightly better moisture
with this feature and increased pops to low chance late Wed night
into the first part of Thu. Front is progged to push offshore Thu
afternoon/evening with precip tapering off from west to
east...with high pressure building in from the west Friday.

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Short Term /Through 18z Saturday/...
As of 10 AM Fri...High confidence of VFR conditions will prevail
through the TAF period. Ridging aloft and sfc high pressure
overhead will bring clear skies across the region. High pressure
will slide south tonight and winds will become SW. Light SW flow
will limit the fog potential overnight, but can not rule out. SW
winds will increase tomorrow afternoon ahead of the cold front.

Long Term /Saturday Night through Tuesday/...
As of 230 AM Fri...Pred VFR conditions expected through the
period. Isolated showers possible Sat evening with a cold
frontal passage. WNW wind gusts 15-25kt are expected Saturday
night and Sunday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /Through Saturday/...
As of 3 PM Fri...High pressure across the area will gradually
slide east tonight with a strong cold front approaching from the
west Saturday. N to NW winds around 5-15 kt will shift to W to SW
overnight and then increase to around 10-20 kt late morning
through the afternoon, and possibly a little stronger across the
outer portions of the southern and central waters Sat afternoon.
Seas will continue around 2-4 ft through mid morning Sat then will
build to 4-6 ft Saturday afternoon.

Long Term /Saturday through Tuesday/...
As of 3 PM Fri...A cold front will push across the waters
Saturday evening with strong CAA developing in its wake. Strong
SCA to Gale Force winds are expected to quickly develop during the
evening and continue through Sunday evening, then gradually
diminish late Sunday night and Monday. Strong W/NW winds around
20-30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt across the Pamlico Sound and
coastal waters will develop with seas building to 5-9 feet. Have
issued a Gale Warning for the coastal waters and Pamlico sound and
a SCA for the rest of the sounds/rivers.

Prolonged period of strong WNW winds could result in minor water
level rises along the soundside of the Outer Banks, as well as low
water in the inland rivers and western portion of the sounds. See
Tides/Coastal Flooding section below for more detail. Winds
diminish to 15 to 20 kt by Monday afternoon and 10 to 15 kt on
Tuesday. Monday seas 4-7 feet early, subsiding to 3-5 feet by
Monday night and to 2-4 ft on Tuesday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
W to SW winds will be increasing through the day Saturday ahead of
a strong cold front and gusts to around 20 to 25 mph are expected
from early to mid afternoon. The front will move through the
region late afternoon through early evening with winds shifting
to NW with gusts increasing to around 30 mph inland and 40 mph
along the coast. In addition, min humidities will range around
30-35 percent along and west of the highway 17 corridor Saturday
afternoon. The combination of gusty and shifting winds with low
humidities will produce and increased fire danger across much of
the region. With a majority of the state's fire fighting resources
fighting wildfires across the western part of the state any fires
starts could spread rapidly with little resources to fight it.
After coordination with surrounding WFOs and NC Forest Service
we'll issue a Fire Danger Statement for Saturday.

Gusty NW winds and low humidities are expected again Sunday and
the Fire Danger Statement will likely be issued again tomorrow
afternoon for Sunday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Strong NW winds will develop behind a cold front that will move
through the region Saturday evening that will continue through
Sunday Night. This will produce minor water level rises to around
2 feet along the soundside of the Outer Banks, especially south of
Oregon Inlet. In addition, low water levels will be possible
across tidal Neuse and Pamlico Rivers and adjacent tributaries on
the order of 1 to 2 feet below normal.

&&

.CLIMATE...
Temperatures are expected to warm to the mid to upper 70s Saturday
and it is possible that some areas could reach around 80 degrees.
The warmest temps are expected along the highway 17 corridor from
New Bern to Jacksonville. Here is a look at the record high
temps for Nov 19th at eastern NC climate locations.

Record High Temperatures: 11/19
New Bern       83/1985  (KEWN ASOS)
