Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
813 PM EDT Sat Jun 2 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Above normal temperatures will prevail through Sunday, with
showers and a few thunderstorms preceding a cold front Sunday
night. Drier, and slightly cooler air will spread across region
Monday into Tuesday. Hot daytime temperatures will return mid
through late week, as an upper ridge expands from the west.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 800 PM Saturday...Convection has fought an h6-h4 dry layer
all afternoon, remaining sub-severe, but almost severe at FLO
just after 23z, registering a 49 kt wind gust there, as high
downdraft CAPES were tapped in to. The dryish air in concert
with diurnal cooling will bring a trend to mellower updrafts
overall through evening, though outflows and mergers will allow
updraft pulses. Surface boundary to the north shows a down-tick
in convective strength as well. After 4z, little convection is
expected over land, particularly with subsidence in wake of a
short-wave adding another capping layer.

As of 506 PM Saturday...Convective-intensity solutions vary
among the HRRR, NSSL WRF, and SPC SREF models, but one concern
into evening is high 'Downdraft CAPE' and dry mid-level air
entrainment. As of yet though, the arid air has hindered updraft
depth more than enhance the downdraft wind threat. As one marginally
severe storm-merger cluster exits the coast off CHS and SAV, the
focus will shift to the surface boundary dropping south across SE NC
that will see convection fill in with near peak diurnal heating, and
associated convergence. The dry layer aloft may limit intensity here
as well, and diurnal cooling late, and an exiting short-wave, will
likely end most convection before midnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...A cold front will move through Sun night
into Mon morning. Convection ahead of the front will be on our
doorsteps, just entering our western portions of our forecast area,
Sun eve. Looks like the main shwr/tstm activity will begin early to
late evening Sun moving from W-NW to E-SE across the area, with last
of any showers moving off shore right around daybreak on Mon morning
as front makes its way off shore. Pcp water initially near 1.6
inches will spike up to nearly 2 inches in convection through Sun
eve/night, but will drop down close to an inch by Mon aftn and down
less than inch by Mon eve in deep NW flow. Should be able to tap
into into some elevated CAPE with convective indices showing best
chance between 03 and 06Z inland, reaching the coast mainly after
midnight.

Monday will be dry and sunny with temps up between 85 and 90 most
places. By Mon aftn, moisture profiles just show a thin layer right
around 4 to 5k ft with some sct cu around. Dewpoint temps will drop
down from near 70 Sun evening ahead of the front down between 60 and
65 Mon aftn with some 50s inland. This will be some of the driest
air we've seen in a while. The 850 temps will drop about 5 to 6
degrees C between Sun eve and Mon eve. Overall a noticeable change
in air mass with some relief in humidity. Temps will drop into the
mid 60s for overnight lows Mon night.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...An upper low across the Northeast states
Tue will pivot offshore Wed. An upper trough will hang back
and into the Southeast states through Thu. A vigorous shortwave
will swing across the Northeast states late next week, finally
taking the upper trough offshore of the East Coast Sat. At the
surface, high pressure, subsidence, a fair amount of dry air and
a capping inversion should make it difficult for showers and
thunderstorms to develop Tue and will keep the forecast dry. A
surface trough will move across the area Wed, but the dry air
still looks formidable and the FA will be under the influence
of NW flow. Did include a slight chance/small chance for
showers and thunderstorms Wed/Wed night and into Thu with
perhaps some cooler air upstairs helping to increase the
instability as precipitable water values increase. Confidence in
the forecast for Fri and Sat is still rather low, but given
precipitable water values may continue to climb, a front to our
S may be returning N and the flow aloft may still be NW, will
show an increase in the probability for showers and
thunderstorms as we head into next weekend.

Highs will be in the 80s this period, coolest Tue. A few inland
spots may still be near 90 beyond Tue. Lower dewpoints will
allow low temps away from the beaches to drop into the 60s
through mid week with Tue night being the coolest this period.
As dewpoints rise late week and next weekend, minimums will be
closer to the lower 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 00Z...A good chance of VFR for this TAF valid period. A
band  of widely scattered showers from KFLO to W of KILM, is
shifting south early this evening. Thunderstorms have occurred
within this area but have so far been isolated and short-lived.
Latest Hi-res forecasts indicate this activity will continue
shifting S and may linger into mid-evening with KFLO most likely
to be affected with showers/VCTS. Other stronger storms
currently northwest of KILM/KLBT are associated with a cold
front and are moving southeast. Hi-res forecasts still
indicating these dissipating before reaching the northern
terminals. So confidence is low KLBT/KILM would be affected
attm. However, lingering showers however could affect KILM by
late evening and possibly persist overnight. Another thing will
need to watch for is the possibility outflows moving through the
terminals this evening and overnight with shifting winds.

Mos guidance indicates winds will continue to veer overnight and
by  tomorrow morning will be W-NW. A good amount of heating
will occur Sunday morning, and by late morning/early afternoon
the sea breeze will kick in and winds will become WSW-SW, a
little more SSW at KCRE/KMYR.

Extended Outlook...Mon-Thur, tempo MVFR/IFR possible in morning
fog/stratus 09z-13z, or briefly in isolated showers and TSTMS.
Otherwise VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Winds ahead of a cold front will
increase to 15 to 20 knots tonight. Although a weak 9 sec SE
swell will be present in the spectrum, significant seas will be
dominated by a 3 to 4 ft 5 second period SW wind wave. This
will drive wave heights to 2-4 ft, with locally higher seas
possible late this evening before beginning to deamplify late
tonight.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...Winds will veer from W-SW Sun night to N-NW
as a cold front crosses the waters early Mon morning. May see a
spike in winds right behind the front, but for the most part, winds
will remain in the 10 to 15 kt range in an off shore flow through
much of the period. Seas around 2 to 3 ft Sun eve may reach up to 3
to 4 ft mainly in the outer waters Mon morning as cold front moves
off to the east. Winds and seas will diminish further through late
Mon into Mon night with seas down less than 3 ft.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 PM Saturday...N winds will hold on into Tue with a SW
flow returning ahead of a trough later Tue afternoon and Tue
night. Winds should back to the NE during Wed night as an area
of high pressure builds into the area, finally becoming easterly
during Thu. Wind speeds will be 10 kt or less, except up to 12
kt or so Thu. Seas will be 2 ft or less through the period.
