Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
413 AM EDT Mon Apr 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will continue to move offshore today. A warm
front will move through this evening, followed by a cold front
Tuesday. Another warm front will pass through Wednesday night,
followed by a strong cold front Thursday. High pressure will
build in from the west next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 330 AM Monday...Latest guidance in good agreement with
previous forecast of mainly an increasing cloudiness forecast
for today. Surface high extending over area from offshore early
this morning will move east, with SCU developing over area by
afternoon as low level flow becomes SE-S. Did add a slight
chance of showers for SW half of area late afternoon with most
models now indicating some isolated activity possible before
evening. Leaned to warmer GFS MOS guidance for max temps 65-70
OBX and low-mid 70s inland.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM TUESDAY/...
As of 330 AM Monday...Guidance continues to indicate high
shear/low cape marginal severe tstm threat, mainly 10 PM to 4 AM
as ongoing scattered to broken line of showers/tstms moves
through area in advance of cold front. Lack of heating and
weakening upper level support will be additional limiting
factors but strong wind fields certainly support isolated severe
threat. Southern coastal sections will definitely need to be
watched for possible rotating cells over warmer waters moving
toward land. Kept POPs at 70% with guidance continuing to
indicate broken coverage. Wind advisory may be needed for mainly
Outer Banks late tonight for gusty southerly winds. Min temps
will be 15-20 degrees above normal with southerly flow keeping
temps in low-mid 60s even with precip threat.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 345 AM Mon...The big story through the long term period
will be the threat for a severe weather outbreak with potential
life-threatening severe thunderstorms Wednesday evening into
Thursday. Cooler air will prevail Friday through next weekend.

Tuesday...Lingering severe threat may be ongoing around daybreak
Tuesday as ample shear is present with both mid level shear
(0-6 bulk shear is 40 to 50 kts) and low level shear (0-1 km
shear is 30-40 kts). High shear/low CAPE environment will
support threat for iso tornadoes and damaging winds early
Tuesday morning. The initial cold front should be through the
area shortly after daybreak with rapid clearing and soaring
temperatures as low lvl thicknesses are around 1400M, then a
secondary cold front moves through Tue evening which finally
ushers drier air into region. Highs will be in the mid 80s
interior with 70s at the coast. Lows Tue night quite mild in the
55-60 degree range.

Wednesday through Thursday...Dangerous severe weather oubreak
possible during this period. Large scale upper trough
amplification is expected over the Eastern US Wed/Thur in
response to upstream flow and phasing jet streams. This will
result in powerful cyclogenesis across the central Appalachian
region to the lower Great Lakes through Thursday. Some timing
differences remain with exact placement of synoptic features
during this time frame, though it appears that a potentially
widespread severe weather outbreak could affect the region. The
aforementioned trough attains a strong negative tilt as it
swings through the Southeast US and as a result deep rich
moisture gets advected into the region in tandem with very
strong dynamics to support severe thunderstorms. Tremendous
height and pressure falls occur early Thursday as the sfc low
deepens to around 980MB to the north. 03/00Z GFS/CMC/ECM global
suite continue to indicate 850H flow of 50-70 kt aided by 110+
kt 300MB jet, and PW values AOA 1.5". Even if timing of the
severe threat is relegated to Wednesday night and early
Thursday, instability parameters are quite high due to the sharp
height falls yielding steep mid level lapse rates, and sfc TD's
rising through the 60s overnight Wednesday. Hodographs are
quite troubling in that strong SRH values aoa 400 M2/S2 are fcst
by the NAM/ECMWF with low LCLs present. If all these
ingredients come together the threat for a few strong tornadoes
and strong damaging winds would be present.

POPS are still fcst 30-50 percent late Wednesday afternoon as
some convection may advect into the region from the southwest
after around 20Z. Likely POPs fcst for Wednesday evening as
shortwave pivots around deepening large upper low to the west.
A marginal risk for severe exists just west of E NC Wednesday
evening, and is close enough to monitor potential for strong
storms holding together as they move into E NC from the west.
Thursday morning still looks like best chance for the severe
weather outbreak and have likely POPs fcst through midday,
whereafter cold front and upper trough push convection offshore
during the afternoon hours. Very windy conditions both Thursday
and Friday due to the tight pres gradient and will have to
monitor for wind advisory conditions and high surf along south
facing beaches especially on Thursday.

Friday through Saturday...Cooler air is forecast to move into
the area behind the front with highs fcst in the upper 50s to
lower 60s both days. Although drier air will move into the area,
deep cyclonic flow and instability due to cold temps aloft
could lead to isolated showers Fri so will continue slight
chance PoPs. Fri night will be quite cool and lows fcst to drop
into the upper 30s interior to 40s on the coast.

Sunday...Dry weather is expected to continue and with building
heights temps will moderate back into the 65-70 degree range.
Low temps Sun quite cool as high will be settled overhead and
lows will drop into the upper 30s interior to low/mid 40s coast
once again.

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term /Through 06Z Tuesday/...
As of 155 AM Monday...VFR expected to prevail into this
afternoon, then sub-VFR likely developing with showers/tstms
ahead of a cold front. Appears will be enuf of a temp/dewpt
spread to limit fog threat early this morning. Low level flow
will become SE today and and spread moisture over the region and
resulting in SCU development. Some guidance indicates MVFR CIGs
with this development but will continue to go with GFS for VFR.
Showers and tstms will move in during the evening with MVFR
VSBYs and CIGs likely and IFR possible in heavier rain. S winds
will increase this aftn with some guts aoa 20 kts expected.

Long Term /Tuesday through Friday/...
As of 345 AM Mon...VFR conditions return Tuesday through most
of Wednesday. Widespread precipitation is expected to develop
Wednesday by Wednesday evening into Thursday morning with sub
VFR conditions again. Winds will be quite gusty out of the
southwest Tue and again on Thursday into Friday.

.MARINE...
Short Term /Through Tonight/...
As of 350 AM Monday...Latest guidance continues to indicate
strongerly southerly flow all waters tonight and posted Gale
Warning for southern and central waters including Pamlico Sound,
with SCA for northern waters and inland rivers.

Lighter NE-E winds early this morning will become SE-S and
increase to 15-20 KT by evening as high pressure moves offshore
and frontal system approaches from W. Speeds increasing to 20-30
KT overnight with frequent higher gusts for central and
southern waters.

Seas are still running 4-6 ft outer central waters this morning
but expected to subside to 3-5 ft by mid-morning. Heights will
build to 4-6 ft again by evening and likely reach 10-14 outer
southern and central waters late tonight. South facing beaches
could see a brief period of high surf condtions late tonight
into Tuesday morning.

Long Term /Tuesday through Friday/...
As of 345 AM Mon...Mariners can expect very rough conditions
for much of the upcoming week with strong winds and dangerous
seas. A period of gales looks likely late Wed night through
Thursday.

Strong southwest winds will be ongoing Tue morning though will
be quickly diminishing below gales by late morning though SCA
winds and seas will continue through the afternoon. Winds shift
to the N 10 to 15 kt by Wed morning then become easterly 10 kt
during the afternoon.

South to southwest flow is forecast to rapidly increase late
Wed night and peak on Thu with gales again forecast on the
waters south of Oregon Inlet and on Pamlico sound. The winds
turn west and remain very close to gales Thursday night and
Friday behind a strong cold front. Seas will peak 10-16 feet on
Thursday.
