Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
744 PM EDT Tue Apr 25 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure system will slowly move northeast away from the
region tonight. High pressure in the central Atlantic will build
in Wednesday through the weekend bringing above normal
temperatures and below normal rain chances. A cold front will
approach from the west Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
As of 7 PM Tuesday...The latest sfc analysis shows the center of
the vertically stack low over the northern Outer bank this
evening. The low is expected to lift to the NE overnight and off
the Mid-Atlantic coast late tonight. Radar continues to show
isolated to scattered showers with a few embedded thunderstorms
this evening, but these showers are expected to diminish with
the lack of daytime heating although may still see a few
showers persist this evening into the early morning hours,
especially northeast sections. Despite a saturated ground, low
clouds and light winds are expected to limit fog development.
Lows expected in the mid/upper 50s inland to low to mid 60s
along the coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
As of 330 PM Tuesday...Low pressure will continue to lift away
from the area Wednesday with high pressure building in from the
west. Dry and warmer with highs in the low 80s inland to
mid/upper 70s along the coast and NE sections.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 330 PM Tuesday...
A true sneak preview of summer is just around the corner for the
extended with highs approaching 90 this weekend.

With a southwest flow of air Thursday temps will warm well into
the 80s inland to near 80 along the coast. Friday into the
weekend a large Bermuda high will develop off the coast, with
upper level heights increasing to 588 DM or higher. The result
will be a period of highs into the 80s everywhere, with near 90
degree readings inland. While a mostly sunny sky and low precip
chances are expected for most, with the southwest flow and large
temperature differential between the land and ocean, daily
chances for pop up showers/storms are possible along the sea
breeze. Certainly not expecting a wash out but keep this in mind
if you live just inland from the coast, where the sea breeze
tends to be more active.

Our next shot for more organized precipitation will come later
Monday and Tuesday with a cold front. The 12Z GFS has slowed the
progress of this front, keeping showers into part of Tuesday.
Confidence is medium we will see at least a round of showers
with the front itself but confidence is low on whether the
timing is Monday or early Tuesday. With the clouds and showers
around temps won't be quite as hot next week or back into the
80s.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Short Term /Through Wednesday/...
As of 730 PM Tue...Ceiling heights will lower as the vertically
stacked low lifts NE and moves off the Mid-Atlantic coast
tonight...bringing MVFR to IFR cigs. Forecast is tricky
as guidance does not have the best handle on timing...leading
to moderate confidence. Despite a saturated ground, low level
clouds and light winds are expected to limit fog development.
Low clouds will erode away slowly in the morning leading to VFR
conditions by late morning/early afternoon under a light west
flow.

Long Term /Wed night through Sat night/...
As of 330 PM Tue...VFR expected through the period. Each day an
isolated thunderstorm is possible along the sea breeze but
proximity to any one terminal will be low confidence and the
duration would be short.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Wednesday/...
As of 7 PM Tue...Latest buoy obs are showing mainly SW 5-15 knot
and seas around 7 ft. The center of the vertically staked low is
over Eastern NC this evening and is expected to move across the
waters and off the mid Atlantic coast late tonight and
Wednesday. SW winds expected around 10-20 kt south of Oregon
inlet and 5-10 kt north this evening, becoming west overnight. W
winds diminish to 5-10 kt all waters by Wednesday afternoon and
back to SW late. Seas around 6-10 ft this afternoon will
continue to slowly subside tonight into Wed and are expected to
drop below 6 ft all waters Wednesday evening.

Long Term /Wed night through Sun/...
As of 330 PM Tuesday...
Relatively good boating conditions into the weekend. Southwest
winds will generally be 10 to 20 kts through the period, with
waves 3 to 5 feet. Brief small craft advisory conditions
possible Friday central outer water as seas build to 6 feet,
otherwise generally below small craft conditions through Sunday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 4 PM Tue...Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms
across eastern NC will diminish tonight as low pressure lifts
away from the region. The main hydrology focus has now shifted
to river flooding as widespread 5-8 inches of rainfall fell
across the upper portions of the basin. The Tar River in
Greenville is currently forecast to crest above major flood
stage, while the Neuse River in Kinston and Contentnea Creek in
Hookerton are expected to crest above moderate flood stage, and
the NE Cape Fear River in Chinquapin is expected to crest above
this weekend.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 7 PM Tue...Will allow the High surf advisory to expire at
8 pm this evening as surf heights have been subsiding down to
5 to 7 ft. High threat of rip current will continue north of
Cape Lookout and moderate south.

&&
