Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
339 AM EST Sun Feb 12 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will pass through the area this evening. High
pressure will build into the area Monday and Tuesday. Another
cold front will move through Wednesday. High pressure will
build in for late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 4 am Sun...Models in close agreement in the short term.
The area is under a mostly overcast stratocu deck at present.
Models clear this out mid-morning with mostly sunny skies
through the rest of the day. Still looking at possible record
high temps this afternoon in the southwest flow ahead of
approaching cold front. Based on latest guidance boosted
afternoon highs a degree or so across the inland areas, with
mostly upper 70s away from the coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
As of 4 am Sun...The front will pass through this evening.
Moisture is still limited but isolated light showers still
possible mainly across the northern sections of the forecast
area for a few hours along and just ahead of the front. Any
precip will be over by midnight. Winds will stay up overnight
around 10-15 mph, keeping overnight lows in the mid 40s across
the area.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 240 PM Sat...Mostly dry conditions and near/above normal
temps expected through mid-week. Increasing precip chances
Wednesday, with cooler temps late week.

Sunday night through Tuesday night...A cold front will move
through Sunday night. Only change was to add isolated shower
mention for a few hours Sunday evening across the northern tier.
Not much moisture, with forecast soundings showing very dry air
below 850mb, but could still see an isolated shower/sprinkles.
High pressure will build into the area Monday and Tuesday,
sliding off the SE coast Tuesday night. Cooler but still
near/above normal temps Monday and Tuesday, with highs in the
low 50s/around 60 degrees. Monday night should be the coolest
night with good radiational cooling, lows in the low 30s inland
and mid/upper 30s along the Outer Banks.

Wednesday through Saturday...Did not make significant changes
to previous forecast with continued model differences. The next
frontal system will impact Eastern NC Wednesday and Wednesday
night. A low is progged to develop in the deep south Tuesday
night then track through the SE Wed/Wed night. The GFS continues
to be the slower/drier solution, keeping the low more
suppressed to the south and offshore. While the ECMWF tracks the
low through the SE and right along the NC coast Wed. Increased
pops to high chance Wed and Wed evening. Still not expecting
any p-type issues, think cold air will be chasing the moisture
Thursday morning. Given the current ECMWF low track could have
tstm threat Wed/Wed evening, mainly along the coast. Deep upper
trough will remain over the Eastern US late week as surface
high builds into the area. Highs Thu in the mid 40s/low 50s and
a few degrees warmer for Fri and Sat...with overnight lows back
into the 30s.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 1 am Sun...VFR through the short term. Broken to overcast
deck around 8 kft will persist through mid-morning, then mostly
clear skies expected for the rest of the day. Southwest winds
around 10 knots through this morning will become gusty at 15-25
knots from late morning through late afternoon. A cold front
will pass through this evening, with winds veering to northwest
and decreasing to 10-15 knots. A brief period of scattered to
broken clouds around 6 kft will accompany the front.

Long Term /Sunday night through Thursday/...
As of 240 PM Sat...Pred VFR conditions expected through the
period. NW wind gusts 15-25 kt Monday. Better chances of sub-
VFR conditions Wed and Wed night with the next frontal system.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through tonight/
As of 4 am Sun...Models in good agreement in the short term,
forecasting poor boating conditions with a tight pressure
gradient in place. Southwest flow today will veer to northwest
this evening as a cold front passes through. Gale warnings have
been issued for Monday for the coastal waters north of Cape
Lookout from early morning through early afternoon. Small craft
advisories remain in effect for the coastal waters south of Cape
Lookout and the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds and Alligator
River.

Long Term /Sunday night through Thursday/...
As of 240 PM Sat...Gusty winds and rough seas expected through
the beginning of the forecast period. A front will move through
the waters Sunday night into early Monday morning. Strong NW
winds 20-30 kt will develop behind the front, peaking Monday
morning. Gale force winds will be possible, between 09-15z. SCA
may need to be upgraded to Gale Warning, esp for the
northern/central waters. Seas will peak again 5-9 feet Sun night
and Monday morning. Winds will slowly diminish late Monday and
Monday night as high pressure builds over the waters. Better
boating conditions expected Tue...with N/NW winds 10-15 kt
becoming W 5-10 kt and seas subsiding to 2-4 feet in the
afternoon. The next frontal system will approach the waters
Tuesday night and Wed. An area of low pressure is forecast to
strengthen along a frontal boundary, though there is still quite
a bit of uncertainty regarding the exact track/strength of the
low. Another period of SCA conditions likely, with best chances
on the backside Wed night and Thu.
