AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
417 AM EST MON FEB 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS
MORNING AS THE COASTAL STORM MOVES NORTHEAST. A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING...FOLLOWED BY A SECONDARY
FRONT ON TUESDAY. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
AS OF 330 AM MONDAY...STRONG SFC LOW PRES APPROX 290 MILES E-SE
OF CAPE HATTERAS MOVING E-NE AT 40 MPH PER STLT TRACKING. RAIN HAS
MOVED OFFSHORE AND CLOUDS AND WIND WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH
ACROSS AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. WILL ALLOW WIND ADVISORY FOR
MAINLAND HYDE/DARE COUNTIES TO EXPIRE AT 4 AM...AND WILL DOWNGRADE
CARTERET AND OBX HYDE/DARE TO WIND ADVISORY RUNNING UNTIL 8AM/9AM.

CLEARING SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP TO
AROUND 32 DEGS MAINLY W OF HWY 17 FOR AN HOUR OR SO AROUND 7
AM...AND COULD RESULT IN SOME PATCHY BLACK ICE FOR ELEVATED
ROADWAYS...AND PLAN TO HANDLE WITH SPS ISSUANCE.

FAST-MOVING SHRT WV WILL BRING INCREASING CLOUDS AGAIN THIS AFTN
WITH CHC OF SHOWERS FOR COASTAL PLAINS AFTER 3 PM.

INCREASING LOW LVL THICKNESSES WITH GOOD INSOLATION INTO EARLY
AFTN SUPPORT MAX TEMPS 52-54 INLAND WITH 46-50 FOR OBX.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM MONDAY...FAST SHRT WV WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS
AREA OVERNIGHT WITH SCT SHOWERS MAINLY THIS EVENING. MID LVL
THICKNESSES SUPPORT PSBL MIXED PCPN BUT LOW LVLS AND SFC TEMPS
APPEAR TOO WARM AND WILL KEEP WORDING AS RAIN SHOWERS. SOME
CLEARING LATE WITH MID TEMPS MID 30S INLAND TO AROUND 40 OBX.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 4 AM MON...AMPLIFIED UPPER PATTERN TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH A WESTERN RIDGE/EASTERN TROUGH LEADING TO WELL BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION FOR THE
UPCOMING WEEK. SEVERAL STRONG SHORTWAVES WILL ROTATE AROUND THE
UPPER TROUGH DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND TRY TO ENHANCE THE
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL BUT DEEP WESTERLY FLOW OVER MUCH OF THE
EASTERN US WILL KEEP THE GULF OF MEXICO AND THE ATLANTIC CUT OFF
AS SOURCES FOR MOISTURE INFLOW WHILE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
ASSOCIATED WEAK SURFACE SYSTEMS THEMSELVES MOSTLY GETS WRUNG OUT
ON THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS.

TUESDAY...WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE 20 POPS FOR RA/SN SHOWERS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES AS MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A COUPLE OF
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES PASSES THROUGH OUR AREA. ALTHOUGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MOSTLY ABOVE FREEZING WHEN CONDITIONS ARE
MOST FAVORABLE FOR PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT IT WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR ANY LIGHT PRECIPITATION THAT DEVELOPS TO BE MIX OF RAIN
AND SNOW. NO ACCUMS EXPECTED ATTM. CONTINUING CAA TUESDAY NIGHT
WILL LEAD TO CHILLY READINGS IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S.

WEDNESDAY...BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW CONTINUES WITH AXIS OF UPPER
TROUGH PIVOTING THROUGH THE EASTERN CONUS WITH DRY BUT CHILLY
WEATHER. GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS COMBINED WITH HIGHS TEMPS
STRUGGLING INTO THE 40S WILL MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COLDER.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THICKNESSES QUITE LOW
AND CONTINUING WESTERLY BREEZE MAKES THE OVERNIGHT LOWS WELL DOWN
INTO THE 20S FEEL MORE LIKE THE TEENS.

THURSDAY...SHORTWAVE TROUGH BEGINS TO LIFT OUT/DEAMPLIFY BUT MEAN
HEIGHTS/850MB TEMPS STILL WELL BELOW AVG AS LONG WAVE TROUGH
DOMINATES THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS. IT WILL BE A COLD DAY ON
THURSDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID/UPR 30S WITH PLENTIFUL
SUNSHINE. ANOTHER COLD NIGHT THUR NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE LOW 20S
THOUGH WINDS MUCH LIGHTER.

FRIDAY...DISAGREEMENT ARISES ON POTENTIAL WEATHER MAKER FOR
FRIDAY AS YET ANOTHER SHORT WAVE/LOW PRES SYSTEM PIVOTS AROUND
BASE OF DEEP EASTERN TROUGH. LATEST 08/00Z ECMWF QUITE A BIT
STRONGER WITH FORCING AND MOISTURE. THIS SOLN OPENING BREIFLY
OPENING UP THE GOM AND TAPPING INTO DEEPER MOISTURE. THIS SOLN IS
ALSO WARMER...AND KEEPS BULK OF PRECIP LIQUID. OPERATIONAL GFS ON
THE OTHER HAND IS LESS AMPLIFIED THOUGH BRINGS THREAT OF A LIGHT
WINTRY MIX FOR E NC. TAKING A LOOK AT THE NEW GFS PARALLEL...A
MORE ORGANIZED LOW PASSING THROUGH OR JUST SOUTH OF E NC WOULD
BRING A BETTER THREAT FOR WINTRY WEATHER. FOR NOW HAVE ADVERTISED
JUST 20 POPS WITH A RA/SN MIX THOUGH THIS SYSTEM WILL BEAR
WATCHING OVER THE COMING DAYS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...POTENTIAL GROWING FOR A SIGNIFICANT ARCTIC
OUTBREAK AS BOTH GFS/ECMWF AND MOST OF THEIR RESPECTIVE ENS
MEMBERS INDICATING SHARPLY FALLING HEIGHT ANOMOLIES. THE ECMWF
ADVERTISING 850MB TEMPS AS LOW AS -25 DEGREES C AND THICKNESSES
BELOW 500M! THIS TYPE OF AIR MASS WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BREAK
RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD IT VERIFY. EC MOS VALUES AS COLD AS
THE LOW 20S FOR HIGH TEMPS AND LOWS GENERALLY IN THE LOW TEENS.
THE GFS IS A BIT WARMER WITH MAX T'S IN THE LOW 30S AND LOWS IN
THE MID/UPPER TEENS. WILL PLAY CONSERVATIVELY FOR NOW AND FORECAST
'MILDER' TEMPS MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS/WPC.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1230 AM SUNDAY...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH
TAF PERIOD. CLEARING SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS REST OF NIGHT AS
LOW PRES MOVES FARTHER OFFSHORE. CLOUDS WILL QUICKLY INCREASE
AGAIN THIS AFTN/EARLY EVENING AS ANOTHER SHRT WV MOVES IN FROM
W-NW WITH ASSCTD SFC COLD FRONT. SCT SHRA EXPECTED BUT CIGS ABOVE
3K FT. NW WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 20 KT WILL DIMINISH BY 10Z.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 4 AM MON...DRY WEATHER WITH PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. IT IS ALSO FORECAST TO BE
BREEZY THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH WESTERLY FLOW 10 TO 20 KNOTS. A
SMALL CHANCE FOR RAIN OR SNOW ON FRIDAY WITH A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM
MOVING THROUGH FROM THE WEST. IT IS QUESTIONABLE AT THIS TIME HOW
MUCH MOISTURE AND COLD AIR WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR RAIN OR SNOW.
STAY TUNED.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM MONDAY...STRONG SFC LOW PRES APPROX 290 MILES E-SE
OF CAPE HATTERAS MOVING E-NE AT 40 MPH PER STLT TRACKING. WINDS
CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AND WILL DOWNGRADE ADVISORIES/WARNINGS DOWN
ONE CATEGORY AT 4 AM...WITH SCA FOR SOUNDS AND GALES OUTER WATERS
UNTIL 10 AM. WINDS WILL DIMINISH BELOW SCA ALL WATERS LATE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTN...BUT THEN SW WINDS INCREASING MOST OF WATERS
LATE AFTN INTO EVENING AHEAD OF COLD FRONT...AND GUSTY WEST WINDS
BEHIND FRONT LATE TONIGHT. SEAS UP TO 15-20 FT EARLY THIS MORING
WILL SUBSIDE TO 6-10 FT BY EARLY AFTN...BUT REMAIN ELEVATED ABOVE
6 FT OUTER PORTIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 4 AM MON...VERY POOR BOATING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD WITH NORTHWEST TO WEST FLOW
15 TO 25 KT PREDOMINATING AND MAINTAINING ELEVATED SEAS OF 6 FT OR
HIGHER. THUS AT LEAST ADVISORY LEVEL HEADLINES ARE EXPECTED TO BE
CONTINUED FOR WIND AND/OR SEAS FOR ALL THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH
THE PERIOD WITH ONLY MARGINALLY BETTER CONDITIONS ON THE SOUNDS
AND ADJACENT RIVERS. A BREAK IN THE HIGH WINDS AND SEAS MAY OCCUR
ON THURSDAY THOUGH YET ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
ON FRIDAY WITH WINDS AND SEAS ONCE AGAIN INCREASING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AS OF 400 AM MONDAY...WATER LEVELS DIMINISHING WITH DECREASING
WINDS AND SHIFT TO NW OVERNIGHT...BUT STILL SOME CONCERN FOR HIGH
TIDE AROUND 7 AM THIS MORNING...AND WILL CONTINUE COASTAL FLOOD
WARNING FOR OBX HYDE/DARE AND CARTERET. WILL DROP ADVISORY FOR
CRAVEN AND PAMLICO COUNTIES AS 911 CENTERS REPORT FLOODING HAS
ENDED.
