Area forecast discussion, Sep 6, 6:24 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
624 PM EDT Wed Sep 6 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will slowly approach from the west today and push
through early Thursday. High pressure will build in from the
northwest Friday and Saturday. Hurricane Irma is forecast to
move near the southern Bahamas late in the week with
considerable uncertainty in the track thereafter, please consult
the National Hurricane Center for the latest on Irma.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
As of 620 PM Wednesday...Band of shra with a few tsra over
coastal plain will move E across region next few hr with cont
high pops. Inland areas have been worked over however still
cant rule out a strong storm or two espcly highway 17 corridor
but overall severe threat diminishing. Precip will cont to taper
off and end from W to E overnight as front crosses.
Prev disc...Showers and thunderstorms are developing as
expected in the very moist airmass ahead of the advancing cold
front. Favorable jet entrance region and mid level shortwave are
producing lift and decent bulk shear is helping to contribute
to storm organization despite weak mid level lapse rates. We
have observed weak/broad rotation in the cells indicative of
supercell potential of storms and a damaging wind/marginally
large hail and isolated tornado threat. SPC continues with
"Slight to Marginal" severe weather risks across our area and
since noted a 40% chance for a Watch. Think severe threat will
wane with loss of heating after 00Z and most of the activity
should dissipate after 06Z as deeper moisture gets shunted
offshore. The front should be offshore by 12Z Thursday followed
by cooler/drier air. Forecast lows will be in the low to mid
60s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
As of 305 PM Wednesday...Other than a slight chance for an
early morning light lingering shower Outer Banks, Thursday will
be Sunny with pleasantly cool high temperatures in lower to mid
70s.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 3 pm Wed...
Thu night through Tuesday...A surface/upper ridge will pass to
the north this weekend, eventually dissipating off the mid
Atlantic coast on Tue. The ridge will bring dry and cooler air
in from the northeast this weekend. Temps will begin to warm by
Tue and Wed though as winds veer to southerly as the region
comes under the circulation from Hurricane Irma.
Hurricane Irma will continue moving northwest through the end of
the week. The storm will then turn northward this weekend into
early next week. Latest guidance has Irma on the east coast of
central FL at 8am Mon moving north. The exact track after that
is still very much in question. Everyone should continue to
monitor Irma closely and ensure your hurricane kits and plans
are ready.
Regardless of the track, swells from Irma are expected
to continue to build through the end of the week and into the
weekend bringing a high threat of rip currents, rough surf and
possible beach erosion as we move into the weekend.
The area will see showers pushing up the coastal waters late in
the weekend into next week as moisture associated with Irma
increases along the SE coast. Highs generally expected around
75-80 Fri-Mon, then upper 70s/lower 80s Tue-Wed. Lows mainly in
the mid/upper 50s inland to 60s coast Friday warming to the
upper 60s/lower 70s by Tue-Wed.

Seas continue to be slow to build and have remained at 3 to 5 ft
but should finally build to 4 to 6 ft late this evening. Winds
will shift to NW 10 to 15 kt behind the front late tonight and
early Thursday then becoming N 10 kt or less late. Seas are
forecast to build slightly to 5 to 7 ft early Thursday enhanced
by increasing sell from Irma.
Long Term /Thursday through Sunday/...
As of 3 pm Wed...High pressure will pass by to the north this
weekend then off the coast Monday, with a resulting northeast
flow through the period. The pressure gradient will steadily
