Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
657 PM EDT WED JUN 22 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will continue off the Southeast U.S. coast while a
cold front remains stalled to the north through Thursday. The
front finally pushes through the region Friday. Low pressure will
develop south of the area this weekend as high pressure builds to
the north.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 655 PM Wednesday...No significant changes needed to
previous forecast with early evening update. High pressure remains
centered off the Southeast coast with a frontal boundary extending
across central VA westward along the southern Ohio River Valley.
Latest radar imagery shows convection weakening across the NC
coastal plain with little upstream. Will continue sc pop/low
chance pop for possible re-development...based on latest
HRRR/NAM/NSSL WRF. The environment ahead of upstream convection is
slightly unstable, with forecast soundings indicating MLCAPE
values around 1500 J/KG with LI's of -4C, though little
shear/forcing. An isolated strong/severe storm will be possible
with hail and damaging winds the primary threats. Expect most
convection to wane after 09Z as instability decreases but some
models keep a few showers around late. Minimum temps will remain
mild with lows in the low 70s inland to mid 70s along the
coast/OBX.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY/...
As of 250 PM Wednesday...A second shortwave will approach eastern
VA and northeastern NC Thursday morning in NW flow aloft, and pass
off the northeastern NC coast through midday. Trended pops down
for central and southern portions of the CWA but maintain a slight
chance for northern sections closest to the shortwave. Strong to
severe storms will be possible late Thursday afternoon into the
evening hours. Low level thicknesses will range 1425-1435 meters
Thursday yielding maximum temps in the mid 90s inland, though
ECMWF MOS suggest high 90s for max temps inland. Coastal locations
will see upper 80s with low 90s possible for the northern OBX.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 345 PM Wednesday, rain chances will increase for Thursday
Night and Friday before high pressure brings a return to drier
conditions for the weekend.

Thursday Night through Saturday...As a cold front pushes into the
region from the north Thursday night and Friday morning, coverage
of convection will increase and have high chance PoPs in the
forecast with the activity working from north to south during
Thursday night into early Friday. expect trend to be increasing
POPs during this time if trends hold moving into the likely range. With
more widespread precipitation as the front sinks south,
temperatures Friday will be some 6-8 degrees cooler. Per trends
from previous forecasts, will keep a good chance of precipitation
in the forecast Friday night, especially southern areas and
maintain a lingering low PoP Saturday as a wave of low pressure
moves along the frontal boundary to our south.

Sunday through Monday...High pressure at the surface will build
down the east coast as a mid-level ridge builds east. Dry
conditions are expected Sunday and Monday with near seasonable
temperatures and slightly lower dewpoints.

Monday Night into Tuesday...An approaching cold front along with
some mid-level shortwave energy will lead to a return of scattered
showers and thunderstorms through the period.

Details are fairly uncertain for Wednesday as the GFS is slow
with the front keeping a chance for precipitation while the ECMWF
pushes the front off the coast with drying conditions for
Wednesday. followed a blend of guidance including WPC to keep
chance pops in the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Short term /Through Thursday/...
As of 645 PM Wednesday...Pred VFR conditions expected through
the TAF period. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms
possible this evening and overnight with activity approaching from
the west. However, will leave precip mention out of TAFs at this
time given the uncertainty and expected coverage. The pressure
gradient increases again Thursday with gusts around 20 kt late
morning/afternoon.

Long Term /Thursday night through Monday/
As of 345 PM Wednesday, Scattered thunderstorms will become more
numerous from Thursday Night through Friday and periods of sub-
VFR conditions will be possible. Some showers may affect the
KEWN/KOAJ TAF sites on Saturday as low pressure rides along a
frontal boundary to our south. VFR conditions should prevail
Saturday night through Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short term /Through Tonight/...
As of 645 PM Wednesday...Extended SCA for the southern waters
through 10pm with buoy 30SE of New River still around 6 feet. Latest
surface and buoy observations continue to show SW winds 15-20 kt
with gusts to around 25 kt across the central/southern waters with
seas now subsiding to 4-6 feet south of Oregon Inlet and 2-4 ft
north of Oregon Inlet. SCA continues for the southern and central
waters through late this evening. The pressure gradient should
relax further tonight allowing winds and seas to diminish. Seas
are expected to subside below 6 ft this evening and continue
around 3-5 ft through tonight. SCA conditions likely in frequent
gusts for the central/southern waters and the eastern side of the
Pamlico Sound again Thursday. Seas 3 to 5 ft tonight will increase
to 4 to 7 ft Thursday south of Oregon Inlet and mostly 2 to 4 ft
north.

Long Term /Thursday night through Monday/
As of 345 PM Wednesday, Small craft advisory conditions are
expected to continue Thursday Night through Friday as strong SW
gradient develops ahead of cold front. Will likely see 20-25 knot
winds with gusts to 30 knots on the coastal waters south of Oregon
Inlet Thursday Night, with seas as high as 6 to 8 feet. winds
decrease on friday behind the front with seas subsiding below SCA
Friday Morning. E/NE winds 10 to 15 kt will develop Friday Night
into Sunday before becoming more SE on Monday. Expect seas 2-4
feet for Saturday and Sunday with some 5 foot seas in the far
eastern central waters, diminishing to 2 to 3 feet by Monday.
