Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
518 AM EST Sat Mar 4 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
The risk for late night freezing temperatures will remain
through early Sunday morning. It will be dry through Monday. As
temperatures warm next week ahead of a cold front, there will be
a risk for showers beginning Tuesday. The passage of the cold
front during Wednesday will end the risk for showers. Dry high
pressure and seasonable temperatures will follow for late next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 500 AM Saturday...A Freeze Warning is in effect through 9
am. Temperatures across the warned area were as cold as the
upper 20s and it is likely a few very remote locations will be
in the mid 20s at sunrise.

read and far south 32 degrees becomes as well as for how
long. After sunrise light winds and weak winter insolation will
bring a slightly flat diurnal curve and even afternoon highs
will fall 5-8 degrees shy of climatology. It is this shallow
mixing and today's cool afternoon compared to Friday that means
that tonight will probably feature similar lows to those seen
over the next few hours. Expect that the day shift will have to
raise another Freeze Warning for at least part of the area.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 AM Saturday...Strong high pressure will ridge south
from eastern Canada Sun. The center of the high will drift
south and be off the Mid-Atlantic coast Mon before drifting
further offshore Mon night. The dry air will hold into Sun, but
not quite as dry as Fri or Sat. Minimum relative humidity levels
Sun afternoon will be within a percentage or two of 30. A
developing onshore flow Sun night and Mon will being some
moistening in the low levels which will allow dewpoints to
recover out of the 20s and 30s Sun and into the 40s Mon and 40s
and 50s Mon night.

No rain is expected during the period. Sun will be mainly Sun
while Mon will trend toward a cloudier day. Highs will be in the
lower to mid 60s Sun, slightly cooler at the beaches. Highs on
Mon will be in the upper 60s to around 70. However, an onshore
flow will necessitate shaving a category or two off the highs
projected further inland. There is little danger of freezing
temps Sun night and by Mon night, low temps will be well above
normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 AM Saturday...Tuesday will be the warmest day of the
week with a good push of warm air on breezy SW winds ahead of a
cold front. As the ridge exits, a good moisture feed along and
ahead of the front will move into the Carolinas. Will show POPs
increasing during Tue with the highest POPs Tue night, up to
likely. Given the upper level support will be so far north of
the area, will refrain from inclusion of any thunderstorms at
this time which is also in agreement with neighboring forecast
offices. Also, significant rainfall seems unlikely given that
the column will be saturated, or nearly so, through a sufficient
depth, for a relatively short period of time. The airmass behind
the front will still support near to slightly above normal
temps as dry high pressure builds from the west beginning Wed
night. No freezing temps are expected during this forecast period.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 12z...VFR with clear skies and light NE winds through the
period as high pressure to our NW moves eastward.

Extended Outlook...VFR expected throughout the period. The
exception will be during Wed when MVFR/IFR conditions possible
from scattered shra ahead of a cold front.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 500 AM Saturday...The Small Craft Advisory has been
cancelled.

Wind will remain NE to N for the day while speeds abate as high
pressure moves over the area. Overnight the center of the high
overhead washes out and the center just north of NY becomes
predominant. Locally this will have little to no effect on
winds. Seas will continue to diminish.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 AM Saturday...Strong high pressure will ridge south
from eastern Canada Sun. The center of the high will drift
south and be off the Mid-Atlantic coast Mon before drifting
further offshore Mon night.

Winds will be from the NE Sun and Sun night, veering to E Mon
and to SE and late Mon and S Mon night. The strongest sustained winds
are expected Sun, up to 15 kt. Wind speeds late Sun night and
through Mon eve will be 10 kt or less. Seas will be 2 to 3 ft
Sun and Sun night with perhaps some 4 ft seas across the
outermost northern waters. Seas Mon and Mon night will be 2 ft
or less.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY through Wednesday/...
As of 300 AM Saturday...As high pressure moves further seaward,
a cold front will approach from the west and move across the
waters Wed. S winds Tue and Tue eve will veer to SW overnight
Tue and then shift to NW and N during Wed with N winds Wed
night. Winds ahead of the front will increase to 15 to 20 kt
late Tue and Tue night. Winds will be stronger in the wake of
the front and up to 20 to 25 kt Wed night when the tightest
pressure gradient will be realized. Seas will build through the
period. Seas Tue will be up to 3 to 4 ft, then up to 3 to 5 ft
Tue night. Seas Wed will stabilize before building higher Wed
night. Seas of 4 to 5 ft may build up to 6 ft across the outer
northern waters Wed night.
