Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
1226 AM EST Fri Dec 21 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A vigorous storm system will affect the area tonight. Gusty
winds will usher in some drier air Friday into Saturday. Fairly
seasonable weather will be brought by high pressure much of
next week. Rain will return on Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of 930 PM Thursday...Forecast updated to cancel the Flash
Flood Watch as all heavy rain has pushed offshore already this
evening. Still expect plenty of light rain overnight, but this
will not lead to flash flooding.

Previous Discussion...Looks like a wet and potentially windy
night tonight as intensifying low pressure brings rain and
embedded heavier showers into the area. GFS showing 60+ KT winds
at H8 and the coastal parts of the area are in a Slight Risk
from the Storm Prediction Center. The big question for the night
is whether sufficient instability will develop to allow that
momentum to be transported to the surface. Forecast will show
showers and isolated thunderstorms for the evening tapering back
to more scattered action after midnight. With the cool pool
aloft nearing the area Friday, scattered showers are again
possible. Lows tonight will 55 to 60 with highs Friday in the
low to mid 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Thursday...Impressive trough crossing the area around
06Z Friday night. Despite westerly flow through a deep layer sky
cover will likely not decrease appreciably until the trough axis
passes overhead. IT will be a breezy night but wind speeds will show
a decreasing trend as the night wears on. A similar trend will be
noted on Saturday as initial mixing brings a breeze through midday
before the gradient starts relaxing in a more pronounced fashion
towards evening. Mixing will be vigorous enough to offset cold
advection in part and Friday night and Saturday both seasonable. The
relaxing gradient Saturday night will be chillier readings. &&

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 PM Thursday...A moisture-starved cold front Sunday night
into Monday followed by high pressure. As the high starts moving
offshore Thursday it will give way to warm frontal rains, perhaps
substantial in nature.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 06Z...The main thrust of the storm system, heavier wind
and rain has exited to the northeast leaving in its wake mostly
VFR conditions. These conditions should persist through the
forecast period with maybe a fleeting MVFR observation or two.
Modest winds currently will ramp back up once again during the
day Friday with possible gusts nearing and in some cases
exceeding 30 knots.

Extended Outlook...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 3 PM...South to southwest winds of 15 to 20 KT tonight will
increase to gale force Friday.  Seas will increase from 3 to 4 feet
this afternoon to 8 to 12 feet by Friday morning before peaking at
slightly higher values in the afternoon. Numerous showers are on tap
this evening and should become more scattered overnight into Friday.
Isolated storms are possible tonight until about midnight.  Storm
force gusts are possible in and near convection.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Thursday...Large and slow moving low moving off to
the northeast will keep conditions very unsettled through the
period. Gale Warning will be lowered to Advisory that will last
the duration.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 300 PM Thursday...High
pressure moves through on Sunday followed by a weak cold front
Sunday night into early Monday. The subsequent high will be further
north leading to a NE wind locally as opposed to the offshore flow
of the previous two days of the periods. No flags or headlines
expected.
