Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
652 PM EDT Sat Jun 24 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A tropical airmass will interact with a slow moving cold front
impacting Eastern NC this weekend. The front will meander just
off the coast through Wednesday. High pressure will build in
from the west Wednesday through late next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 650 PM Saturday...Wet weather is expected tonight as
tropical moisture with PW values in excess of 2" interacts with
a weak frontal boundary. The front is forecast to stall along
the southern and central coastal areas late tonight and Sunday.

Although the instability is expected to to wane with loss of
heating by mid evening, guidance continues to indicate that
sufficient instability will continue overnight with forecast MU
CAPE values around 1500 J/kg, and 30-40kt 0-6km bulk shear.
Threat for isolated strong storms with gusty winds will continue
through early evening then emphasis will be the potential for
thunderstorms producing heavy rains and minor flooding with
storm motions nearly parallel to the upper level flow and likely
training of storms. Storm total rainfall of 0.5-1.5" is
expected with higher amounts possible, especially along the
coast in vicinity.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
As of 330 PM Saturday...A frontal boundary combined with deep
moisture (Precipitable water values in excess of 2 inches) will
lead to a wet day along the coast as low-level moisture
transport and deep omega is maximized. With the cold front
across the central CWA, expect a sharp precip/moisture gradient,
thus categorical PoPs on the coast tapering back to low chance
over the Coastal Plains. Still enough instability around Sunday
morning for a few strong storms with CAPEs around 1000 J/kg near
the coast. Despite a good deal of cloud cover, high
temperatures should reach the mid/upper 80s in most areas
Sunday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 330 PM Sat...Scattered showers are possible Monday and
Tuesday. Then, cooler and much drier air will spread into
eastern NC from Wednesday into next weekend.

Sunday night through Tuesday...As the frontal boundary lingers
along the coast Sunday night and Monday morning, scattered
showers are possible and have chance PoPs across the coast.
Monday will be dry further inland, and high temps across the
region will be cooler than average, in the low to mid 80s.
Precipitation will be enhanced inland on Tuesday, as a strong
mid-level shortwave dives southeast across the Carolinas and
Virginia. Have high chance PoPs for most of the area Tuesday.
High temps Tuesday look to be a few degrees cooler, mostly in
the low 80s.

Wednesday through Saturday...Strong high pressure will move
overhead on Wednesday, and off the coast for the rest of the
week and into the weekend. While overhead, this high will
provide a somewhat refreshing airmass with lower humidities and
continued cooler high temperatures. Temperatures quickly warm
back up however, as southwest winds return on Thursday and
highs creep back to the upper 80s for late week.

Low temps for the period will range mostly from the upper 50slow
60s inland to upper 60s.low 70s along the coast.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 650 PM Saturday...Periods of sub VFR conditions are
expected at the TAF sites tonight into early Sunday as
widespread showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain move across
the region in vicinity of a weak slow moving front. Predominate
MVFR (and local IFR) ceilings are likely to develop after 06Z
and persist through mid morning with conditions becoming VFR at
the TAF sites by afternoon as drier air air filters into inland
locations and the best moisture lingers along the immediate
coast.

Long Term /Sunday through Thursday/...
As of 345 PM Sat...Most of the rainfall and Sunday night
and Monday will be east of the TAF sites and VFR should
prevail. Scattered thunderstorms may produce scattered MVFR
ceilings/vsbys Tuesday. VFR conditions return Wednesday and
Thursday. As usual, patchy late night/early morning fog will be
possible, especially in areas that receive rainfall.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Sunday/...
As of 650 PM Saturday...Continue the SCA for the Pamlico Sound
and the waters south of Oregon Inlet. Winds will continue to
diminish overnight as a slow moving cold front moves into the
waters and the pressure gradient decreases allowing winds and
seas to slowly subside overnight and Sunday morning. W to SW
winds will diminish to 10 to 15 KT and become more westerly by
late tonight. Seas will continue 2 to 4 feet north of Oregon
inlet and subside to 4-6 feet south of Oregon Inlet by Sunday
Morning. By Sunday afternoon seas should subside to 2 to 4 feet
throughout the waters.

Long Term /Sunday Night through Thursday/... As of 345 PM
Sat...Light and variable winds are expected Monday into Tuesday
and will eventually turn to the north Wednesday morning and
remain light. Winds will then turn to the SE on Thursday 5 to 10
kts. Seas will generally be 2-4 ft through the period.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 330 PM Sat...Minor coastal flooding will be possible at
times of high tide through the weekend. Moderate threat of rip
currents north of Cape Hatteras, and High threat south of Cape
Hatteras.
