DAGWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Newport/Morehead City, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 5, 7:54 AM EDT, 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 5, 7:54 AM EDT, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
754 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Strong low pressure will impact the region today, pushing a
cold front through late this afternoon. Low pressure will
continue to lift north this weekend, as weak high pressure
builds in from the northwest through early next week. A cold
front is forecast to move through the area Wednesday night into
Thursday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
335 AM Update...
A quick update to get an updated forecast out while our area
remains in a lull for storm activity right now. A new Tornado
WATCH replaced the one set to expire at 3 AM, with a few more
additional inland counties added. Good model agreement that
lines of thunderstorms now over central NC and northeast SC will
continue moving east-northeast through daybreak and may
strengthen a bit. Shear profiles remain impressive with 0-1 KM
and 0-6 KM shear over 40 kts. While instability remains the
limiting factor, SBCAPES of around 500 j/kg now over the inland
counties increases toward 1000 near the coastline. With very
strong winds off the surface already in place, the main threat
will be damaging winds with an isolated tornado possible given
the large low level shear. With PWATS above 1.75", locally heavy
rain is possible in any storms today. Wind advisories today
remain in place as issued yesterday. highest gusts will remain
along the coast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
As of 345 AM Friday...
Drier weather builds in tonight as a 500 MB trof moves overhead.
It will be much cooler with lows dropping back into the 50s.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 3 am Fri...Below normal temperatures expected this
weekend into early next week, with gradual warm up mid to late
week.
Sat through Tuesday...Much cooler wx expected this weekend into
early next week with upper troughing over the eastern US. Low
pressure will continue to lift N/NE through the weekend as
surface high builds in from the NW...and weak shortwaves rotate
around the base of the upper trough. Isolated showers possible
Sat night, but overall expect dry wx to prevail. The high will
slide off the coast Tue night as the next front approaches. Low
level thickness values support highs in the upper 60s/low 70s
with overnight lows dropping into the mid 40s/low 50s inland and
low/mid 50s along the coast.
Wednesday and Thursday...Low confidence mid to late week with
model differences. The ECMWF shows lingering stacked low to the
north retrograding back into the Mid-Atlantic region inducing
cyclogenesis along the Carolina coast...while the GFS pushes the
low off the east coast and another low approaching from the west
late week. Will keep slight chance pops going mid to late week
given the uncertainty and potential for some showers. Gradual
warm up expected with temps returning to near normal, with highs
in the 70s.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Short Term /Through Friday night/...
Thunderstorm threat has just about cleared all of the terminals.

/Previous discussion/
As of 330 PM Thursday...South-southeast winds in the 20 to 30 KT
range now will continue to increase through mid morning. Winds
are expected to increase to Gale force especially in frequent
gusts as the gradient between high pressure offshore and strong
low moving up the Ohio Valley tightens. Gale Warnings continue
for the Pamlico Sound and coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet.

waters as frequent gusts to 25 knots are likely. Seas of 6-8 feet
