Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
316 PM EDT Sat Mar 18 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move through the region tonight. Upper level
low moves across from the northwest Sunday. High pressure will
build over the area late Sunday into Monday. Another cold front
will move through the area Tuesday night and Wednesday morning,
followed by high pressure for the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Heavy rain still moving over Hatteras
Island at this hour, with lighter showers over the rest of the
CWA. Clearing line is approaching from the west, and should
reach the coastal plain over the next couple hours. Elsewhere
some peaks of sun are possible. Further west, skies have cleared
and insolation will quickly destabilize the atmosphere over
Central NC ahead of the cold front. A broken line of convection
is likely to develop and move SE into the CWA near sunset.
There is some elevated CAPE in forecast soundings over Eastern
NC, so even if surface temperatures are in the low 50s, any
convection that advects into the region may be able to maintain
its strength. SPC has also put parts of Duplin and Greene county
is a marginal risk for severe storms, mainly for a hail and
wind threat. Have included isolated thunder mention in grids for
later this afternoon and evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Upper level low will swing down from
the north and spark some rain/snow showers over the Albemarle
Sound region and the Northern OBX. Clouds and gusty NW winds
will keep these parts quite chilly, with high temps in the mid
to upper 40s. Elsewhere, where more sunshine is observed, high
temps will climb into the mid to upper 50s.

High surf advisory has been issued for Dare county OBX where
waves will likely be 8-10 ft from Sunday afternoon through
Monday afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 220 PM Saturday...Changeable, unsettled weather will be
the rule for most of the upcoming week.

Sunday night through Monday night...Strong mid-level shortwave
will move offshore by late Sunday with strong high pressure
build east into the Carolinas for Monday into Monday night.
After a chilly start on Monday with lows in the 30s to lower
40s...temperatures should warm into the 60s Monday...except for
the northern Outer Banks which stay in the lower 50s. As the
surface high scoots offshore...return flow will hold Monday
night lows in the 40s.

Tuesday through Wednesday night...A very slow-moving cold front
will cross the region from north to south Tuesday night into
early Wednesday. A few showers will develop ahead of the front
Tuesday afternoon and evening...and there appears to be
sufficient instability with LI values of -1 to -4 and CAPE
values around 500 J/kg. The atmosphere quickly stabilizes behind
the actual front Tuesday night but showers will linger Tuesday
night and through most of Wednesday until the deeper moisture
moves offshore. Ahead of the front on Tuesday...a large
temperatures gradient with highs upper 50s northern Outer Banks
but some lower to perhaps mid 70s over the southwestern CWA.

Thursday through Saturday...Strong (1038 mb) high builds down
the eastern seaboard Thursday and Thursday night before moving
offshore on Friday. Temperatures will be chilly and Thursday
looks to be the coldest morning of the week with lows around
freezing well inland ranging to the lower 40s Outer Banks. With
the high quickly moving offshore...temperatures warm back into
the 60s for Friday. A deepening mid-level trough will approach
from the west and have included slight chance PoPs Friday and
Friday night with a better chance of showers Saturday as the
then very-deep trough crosses the Carolinas.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /Through Sunday Afternoon/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...MVFR conditions expected this early
this afternoon, with a return to VFR conditions by early
evening. Widespread rain has brought ceilings and visibilities
to the threshold of MVFR across the airspace. All TAF sites
except OAJ now are MVFR, and all TAF sites can expect some MVFR
ceilings to linger the next few hours after the steady rain
ends. Have strayed from guidance which has been showing
widespread IFR ceilings today, but with how slowly the low
ceilings have developed, am fairly confident only MVFR ceilings
will be observed. VFR conditions return later this afternoon,
and have included a mention of thunder as a line of convection
could potentially move into the airspace later this evening.
Winds become strong Sunday morning, out of the NW Sunday 10-15
knots gusting to 20-25 knots.

Long Term /Sunday Night through Thursday/...
As of 250 PM Saturday...VFR conditions should prevail Sunday
night through Monday night with broad high pressure and drier
air prevailing. Sub-VFR ceilings and vsbys are possible late
Tuesday through Tuesday night and most of Wednesday as a slow-
moving cold front bring scattered to numerous showers. A few
isolated thunderstorms may also be possible Tuesday afternoon
and evening. VFR conditions returns for Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /Tonight and Sunday/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Winds currently SW 15 to 25 kt will
continue as a cold front approaches. Seas have built 5-10 feet.
Have issued a Gale Warning for the coastal waters from Cape
Lookout to Currituck Beach, as well as the Pamlico Sound
starting Sunday morning. The warning in the central waters will
persist into Monday morning, but will end late Sunday night in
all other waters. Small craft advisories continue for the
southern central waters, and new SCAs have been issued for the
Albemarle Sound, Alligator River, and Inland Rivers.

Winds are expected to turn to the NW this evening after a cold
front passes through and strengthen to 25-35 knots by late Sunday
morning. Winds gusts over the central waters will be 40-45 kts
with 30-40 kt gusts expected elsewhere. Waves will remain
elevated into Sunday when seas build even more. Seas will become
9-13 ft from Hatteras on north, and 5-10 feet to the south of
Hatteras.

Long Term /Sunday Night through Thursday/...
As of 250 PM Saturday...Gale conditions are expected over the
coastal waters and Pamlico Sound until at least midnight Monday
morning. The gusty NW winds will subside Monday and back to SW
Monday night...but seas are likely to remain elevated through
midday on late Monday night or Tuesday per latest local
SWAN/NWPS model...especially over the northern waters. With
strong cold-air advection following another fairly strong cold
front...another round of SCA winds/seas is likely Wednesday
into Thursday.
