Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
1015 PM EST Mon Jan 30 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A ridge of high pressure will pass to the south tonight. A dry
cold front will pass through Wednesday night. Low pressure will
pass to the south Friday followed by high pressure Saturday. A
cold front will approach the area late Sunday, and another on
Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /OVERNIGHT/...
As of 1015 pm Mon...Latest analysis shows upper trough pushing
off the east coast with flow becoming more zonal aloft...as
surface high pressure builds over the area. No significant
changes needed to previous forecast for update...tweaked grids
to reflect current trends. Temps have dropped rapidly this
evening with clear skies and calm winds...now in the upper 20s
to low 30s inland. Low temperatures will likely be reached late
this evening, then begin to slowly rise after midnight as low
level flow becomes southwesterly. Lows in the upper 20s to low
30s inland...and low/upper 30s along the Outer Banks.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
As of 230 pm Mon...Time sections and  forecast soundings
continue to show a very dry airmass in place across the region.
High temps will be much warmer than today with boundary layer
winds from the southwest. Highs will average lower to mid 60s
throughout the forecast area.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 240 AM Monday...Broad upper troughing across the eastern
US will lead to a zonal flow across the SE US through late next
week with above normal temperatures expected through Wednesday
and near normal temperatures Thursday. The upper trough becomes
more amplified late in the week into next weekend which will allow
colder air to sink south into our region with below normal
temperatures expected for Friday and Saturday. Temps will
moderate back near normal levels Sunday ahead of the next cold
front. The weather is expected to be mainly dry through Thursday
then low pressure developing just off of the coast will bring a
chance of rain late Friday into early Saturday. The next
approaching cold front will be able to tap the Gulf and the
Atlantic with better chances for rain late Sunday and Sunday
night.

Tuesday night through Wednesday Night...The warming trend
continues Wednesday ahead of another shortwave trough and
attendant cold front that will move across the region late
Wednesday night. There are some minor timing differences with
the front among the models...but models do agree that the front
will be moisture starved with maybe a few sprinkles and still
expecting a mainly a dry frontal passage. Highs progged to be in
the low to mid 60s Tuesday. Temps warm to the mid 60s to
possibly upper 60s Wednesday. Lows expected in 40s coast Tuesday
and Wednesday nights.

Thursday through Monday...High pressure briefly builds back
into the region Thursday then slides offshore Friday while a
shortwave moving across the region induces weak cyclogenesis
just off of the coast with rain possible late Friday into early
Saturday especially along the coast. Dry high pressure will then
build back in Saturday into early Sunday with next cold front
approaching late Sunday increasing shower chances. Temps
expected to return back to near normal Thursday with highs in
the 50s and below normal Friday and Saturday with highs in the
40s.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Short Term /through Tuesday/...
As of 8 pm Mon...High confidence in VFR conditions through the
period...with mostly clear skies. Gusty southwest winds
expected again Tuesday, with gusts 20-30 kt. This could result
in crosswind impacts for EWN runway.

Long Term /Tue night through Saturday/...
As of 240 AM Monday...High confidence that VFR conditions will
dominate through the long term. A mainly dry cold front progged
to move through Wednesday night. Conditions will likely remain
VFR with the frontal passage Wed night with just a small chance
of a brief period of MVFR ceilings. High pressure builds back in
Thursday into Friday with VFR conditions prevailing. Next
chance for rain will be late Friday and especially Fri night.
Dry weather forecast Saturday. Windy conditions expected
Tuesday with SW winds gusting to around 30 kt at times, mainly
late morning through afternoon hours when mixing is maximized.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Tuesday/...
As of 1015 pm Mon...Latest obs show NW/W winds 10-20 kt with
seas 2-4 feet north of Oregon Inlet and 3-6 feet south. Winds
and seas will continue to diminish overnight, then increase
again Tuesday. Gale force winds will be possible Tuesday, mainly
south of Oregon Inlet...with dangerous seas building to 6-11
feet. Strong SW winds will develop ahead of a cold front
Tuesday. SCA continues for the waters, sounds and inland
rivers.

Long Term /Tue night through Sat/...
As of 240 AM Monday...Strong SW winds with possible Gales are
expected Tuesday and Tuesday evening. Conditions briefly improve
Wednesday with westerly flow diminishing to 10 to 15 kt then
winds increase to 15 to 20 kt Wednesday night ahead of the cold
front then shift to N 10 to 15 kt Thursday behind the front as
high pressure builds over the waters. The forecast Friday will
be dependent on track/intensity of coastal low with the current
model consensus of N flow around 15 kt.

Dangerous seas are forecast to drop below 6 ft late Wednesday
morning. Seas could briefly build to 6 ft over the outer
southern and central waters Wed night ahead of a cold front but
will cap at 3 to 5 ft for now and bump up if trend continues in
subsequent model runs. Seas are now forecast to subside to 2 to
4 ft Thursday and Friday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
As of 1015 pm Mon...Breezy conditions expected again Tuesday,
with SW wind gusts 25-30 mph. However, dewpoints will be much
higher than today, with resulting minimum RH values averaging
40-48% over most inland areas, with higher values at the coast.

&&

.MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
