Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 4:04 PM EDT, 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
404 PM EDT Sun Apr 22 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A slow moving low pressure system will cross the Southeastern
U.S. and produce beneficial rains of 2 to 4 inches Monday
through Tuesday. Temperatures below normal through Tuesday will
bounce back to near normal for the rest of the week. A cold
front may drop down into the Carolinas Wednesday night. Another
area of low pressure may affect the area on Thursday followed
by high pressure on Friday with below normal temperatures
heading into the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 330 PM Sunday...Surface ridge is maintaining influence across
the Carolinas at the moment. Meanwhile areas of low pressure are
established across the MS Valley supported by the old upper low
across northern Arkansas. As low pressure drifts east the weather
will change drastically across the Carolinas during Monday. A
strengthening onshore wind will support marginal Wind Advisory
criteria along the coastal zones while advecting a lot of moisture
into the region. In fact, the precipitable water should approach 1.7
inches during Monday as conditions come together for a widespread
heavy rain event. Increasing low-level convergence along with and
excellent divergence aloft will create strong upward vertical
velocity. As a result of the column saturation and strong lift we
anticipate 2-4 inches across the forecast area. While surface based
instability is lacking the strong dynamics warrants mentioning
isolated embedded thunderstorms as well. While some flood prone/poor
drainage areas may receive flooding do not think flood impacts will
be widespread enough for a Flood Watch at this time.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 PM Sunday...As the area of low pressure across TN/KY fills
the low progged to be across GA/SC will become dominant and lift
northeast across the Carolinas during Tuesday. As the low moves
northeast the strong axis of onshore winds will shift into eastern
NC by Tuesday morning. The axis of heaviest rainfall will also shift
northward as well during Tuesday with drier mid-level air pushing in
from the south and southwest. POPs will trend lower by later in the
day with 20-30 POPs lingering for Tuesday night. Followed a blend of
MAV/MET number for temperatures. Will need to keep an eye on the
high tide Monday night into early Tuesday morning as well - more on
the potential for coastal flooding below
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Sunday...As one area of low pressure lifts off to
the northeast away from the Carolinas on Wed, another one will
follow behind it rotating around the main upper trough in a
fairly progressive pattern. The winds will veer around on Wed
on the back end of the initial low as it pulls away and may see
a weak boundary or front drop down into the Carolinas Wed night
into early Thurs. The westerly downslope flow on Wed should
combine with mixed sun and clouds to produce temps close to 80
on Wed.
The second low will track down from the Upper Midwest, becoming
an open wave as it digs down into the lower Mississippi Valley
by Thurs. The GFS and ECMWF both show this low moving northeast
through the Coastal Carolinas Thurs night into Fri, but the GFS
is deeper and showing greater QPF and winds overnight Thurs. By
Friday, this system will lift off to the northeast with a decent
day in store. The GFS and ECMWF differ quite a bit heading into
the weekend with the GFS showing a much drier forecast. Either
way, a trough will move across the east coast producing below
normal temps through much of the late week period.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 18Z...General onshore flow will persist through Monday as low
pressure slowly drifts across the mid-Mississippi Valley. Expect VFR
conditions through the remainder of the afternoon and into the
evening, then ceilings lowering to MVFR late tonight as rainfall
overspreads the terminals from SW to NE. Precip should be on the
doorstep of KILM by 18Z Mon.
Extended outlook...MVFR and possible IFR will persist Monday night
into early Tuesday associated with widespread rainfall. Wed through
Thursday expect VFR. MVFR possible Thursday night with a cold front,
then clearing Friday.

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 330 PM Sunday...High pressure centered just east of DELMARVA
will maintain an onshore flow across the adjacent coastal waters
through tonight. As low pressure meanders along the MS Valley
through Monday the pressure gradient between the high and low will
allow the onshore fetch to increase with marginal sustained Gales
becoming likely. In regards to the Small Craft Advisory we have moved
the start time earlier, and upgraded the Gale Watch to a Gale Warning.
Seas should have no problem exceeding 10 feet given the size,
orientation, and strength of the fetch. Numerous showers expected to
develop by Monday, especially across the southern waters initially.
Embedded isolated thunderstorms are also possible.
SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 PM Sunday...Gales will continue at the onset of the short
term period with complex areas of low pressure from TN/KY to SC/GA.
The axis of strong winds will gradually shift across the waters off
eastern NC during Tuesday while the residual seas will remain high
through the day. At some point during Tuesday the Gale Warning will
need to be lowered in favor of another Small Craft Advisory until
seas subside later in the day. By Tuesday night, the SC/GA low will
have translated to northeast NC/southeast VA with a much weakened
pressure gradient in place overnight. Seas will be highest Tuesday
morning, then gradually subside during the afternoon. Seas will
continue to subside Tuesday night.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 PM Sunday...Winds will diminish as they shift around
from on shore to off shore Wed on the back end of low pressure
system, as it lifts off to the northeast. A dry cold front may
drop into the waters Wed night into Thurs with winds shifting
around to a more N-NE direction on Thurs. Fairly low confidence
forecast Thurs into Fri as another area of low pressure may
affect the waters.
As the winds shift around to off shore and lighten on Wed, Seas
will subside. Seas should be 3 to 5 ft Wed morning dropping down
to 2 to 4 ft by Thurs morning. Winds and seas will be dependent
on strength and track of low pressure late Thurs into Fri, but
for now have left them in the 3 to 5 ft range, although the WNA
shows potential for SCA conditions early Fri.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 330 PM Sunday...The strengthening onshore fetch may lead to
some minor ocean overwash, especially with high tide late Monday
night into Tuesday morning. Confidence is higher with minor coastal
flooding for the NC coastal waters when the axis of strongest winds
are coincident with that particular high tide. If current trends
continue then a Coastal Flood Advisory may be needed late Monday
night. Minor flooding may also extend into the downtown
Wilmington/battleship area with the same tide. Fortunately,
regarding astronomical influences the moon is at the first quarter
phase.
