Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
155 AM EDT Sun Sep 10 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will bring dry weather into Sunday. The most
significant impacts across the Carolinas from Hurricane Irma
are expected late Sunday night through Monday night. Coastal
flooding is possible during the time of high tide. Periods of
heavy rain may produce some flooding and there is a small risk
for tornadoes. Long period swell generated by Hurricanes Irma
and Jose will continue to produce dangerous beach conditions and
hazardous marine conditions through the weekend and well into
next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
AS OF 630 PM Saturday...No major changes to the forecast track
of Hurricane Irma with the latest update. Locally, that means no
changes were made to the forecast with the latest issuance.
Expect a steady NE breeze overnight with a steadily
increasing/thickening cirrus deck through the period. Previous
discussion follows:

All eyes are focused on Hurricane Irma between Cuba and the
Florida Keys. Models have shifted a little westward again, with
a predicted storm track through Sunday near the southwest
Florida Gulf coast.

1032 mb high pressure over the Great Lakes is feeding cooler and
relatively dry air southward into the Carolinas. With the exception
of a few stratocumulus at the top of the boundary layer, the
atmosphere remains very dry with precipitable water values only 0.5
to 1.0 inch. Lows tonight ranging from the mid 50s inland to around
60 on the beaches are below normal, and are mainly due to the
northern source region for this incoming airmass.

A band of cirrus streaming north of Irma currently sits
just off the Carolina coast, but should build more westward tonight
and particularly Sunday as Irma also moves westward. This cirrus has
the potential to be quite dense given model relative humidity progs
above 400 mb plus a favorably positioned jet streak off the Mid-
Atlantic coast, and I have increased opaque sky cover forecasts
considerably from the previous forecast. This cloud cover should
hold high temperatures down on Sunday, and our latest forecast highs
are only in the mid 70s. Breezy northeast winds will continue all of
tonight at the beaches, and will redevelop inland on Sunday after
sunrise. Expect gusts of 25-30 mph, perhaps reaching 35-40 mph near
the beaches.

With a deep, dry atmosphere continuing between meager surface
moisture and the cirrus aloft, there is very little potential for
shower activity on Sunday. PoPs have been removed through 7 PM
Sunday evening before better low-level moisture begins to swing
onshore.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Not really a lot of change to the short term
forecast. The area will see the brunt of the peripheral impacts of
what is expected to tropical storm and tropical depression Irma
through Tuesday morning. We are still carrying categorical pops for
much of the period with the highest values between about 15-21 UTC
Monday. The storm prediction center has all of the area highlighted
in a marginal risk for brief tornadoes. Total QPF amounts are still
somewhat uncertain as the dry air wrapping around the system could
limit them somewhat, however a range of 2-4 inches still looks good
with some isolated higher amounts possible south.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Outside of a quiet period Tuesday night
and Wednesday, the extended period will largely be unsettled.  High
pops are in place for Tuesday expecting the last of Irma's rainbands
to affect the area.  Wednesday night through Saturday, an upper
trough will keep a chance of showers and storms in the forecast.
Max temperatures will slowly moderate through the period from the
lower 80s Tuesday to mid 80s by Saturday. Lows will generally be
in the mid to upper 60s with lower 70s nearer the coast.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 06Z...VFR through the valid period but concerns for aviation
will increase as winds become strong today.

Hurricane Irma approaching FL this morning is combining with strong
high pressure ridging down from the Great Lakes to produce a tight
gradient and gusty NE winds. Winds this morning around 10 kts with
higher gusts will jump quickly after sunrise to 15-20 kts with gusts
20-30 kts, highest at the coastal terminals, while maintaining a NE
direction with little fluctuation. Even after nightfall winds will
continue to strengthen, and a LLJ of up to 50 kts is possible by 06Z
Monday, but enough of this will continue to mix down that LLWS is
not forecast. High level cirrus will overspread the terminals and
lower while becoming dense, and OVC VFR is expected. Low level
moisture will begin to increase tonight, and although any rain is
expected to hold off until just beyond this valid period, some 3-4
kft stratocu is likely to advect onshore creating lowered cigs late,
especially at the coast.

Extended Outlook...Periods of MVFR/IFR ceilings and
visibilities are anticipated along with NE/E winds gusting over
40 knots through early Tuesday. Winds will ease late Tuesday,
with VFR developing for Wed/Thu.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 630 PM Saturday...Latest obs continue to show very
dangerous conditions for marine interests, with 6 to 9 ft of
seas and winds of 20 to 30 kts. Small craft advisory continues
as before, with a gale warning taking over at midnight. Previous
discussion follows:

1032 mb high pressure over the Great Lakes contrasts very
strongly with 941 mb Hurricane Irma between Cuba and Florida.
This 91 mb pressure difference will generate a large area of
strong northeast to east winds along the Southeast and Mid-
Atlantic coast tonight, strengthening on Sunday. Solid Small
Craft Advisory conditions are ongoing already, and we anticipate
wind speeds to increase to near gale force by late tonight or
Sunday morning. A Gale Warning will remain in effect this this
potential.

Despite all the wind, only about half of the wave energy currently
out there is wind wave. The other half consists of a powerful
southeasterly swell laid down by Hurricane Irma 36-48 hours ago.
Spectral wave data from the Frying Pan Shoals buoy indicates dual
peaks in wave energy at 12 seconds (swell) and 7 seconds (wind
wave). Dangerous sea heights will continue through tonight and into
Sunday.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Fairly straight forward forecast for the
coastal waters with a gale warning through the period. The strongest
winds will occur between 12-18 UTC Monday with almost 40 knots
sustained across the southern waters with near 30 knots across the
northern waters. There will be higher gusts throughout of course.
Wind direction will be mostly from the northeast but turn quickly
to the southeast by Tuesday morning. Robust seas throughout with
9-12 feet.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Winds and seas will be on the wane
through the period with S winds of 15 to 20 KT at the onset
expected to diminish to 10 to 15 KT by Tuesday night and continue
through the period from the SW quadrant.  Seas of 6 to 9 FT early
Tuesday will diminish to 2 to 3 FT by Wednesday night and continue
into Thursday.
