Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
1000 PM EDT Sun Apr 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will move through tonight with strong to
potentially severe thunderstorms. High pressure will build over
the area Monday through Wednesday, then another front will move
through Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 10 PM Sunday...Tornado Watch #55 now in effect for
portions of Eastern NC through 3 AM.

Line of strong to severe storms extending from Northern VA down
into Coastal SC, continues to slowly move NNE this evening.
Still looks like it will move into the southern coastal plain
within the hour, and gradually spread eastward, and off coast
around 6 AM. As front races east this evening, low-level jet
intensifies with 850 mb winds of 50-60 knots indicated between
03z-06z tonight. Moderate instability along with the shear
(250-400 SRH values), coupled with precipitable water values up
to 2 inches will lead to a line of strong thunderstorms with the
potential to produce damaging winds, a brief tornado and heavy
downpours. 00z MHX sounding showed about 1000 J/kg MU CAPE, 50
kt of bulk shear, and about 300 SRH 0-1km. The Storm Prediction
Center has the entire MHX CWA in a Slight Risk of severe
thunderstorms.

With tightening pressure gradient ahead of front, increased
winds over area through evening indicating gusts up to 40 mph
even before line of storms arrives. Strongest winds will be
along coast and posted Wind Advisory for Carteret and Outer
Banks Hyde and Dare 8 PM - 8 AM.

Warm temps will persist this evening with strong southerly flow,
with cooling behind frontal passage late allow min temps 55-60.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
As of 330 PM Sunday...Initial front and main moisture axis will
be moving offshore but area will remain under southern
periphery of upper low moving from Great Lakes into mid Atlantic
states. Main result will be early morning clearing giving way
to CU/SCU development from W-NW late morning through afternoon.
A few models indicate isolated shower potential over northern
sections, but most keep it north of VA line and kept dry
forecast for now. Max temps mainly low to mid 60s with breezy SW
to W winds.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 4 AM Sun...
Monday night, temps are chilly with lows dropping into the
middle 30s interior to mid 40s coast. A light breeze should
preclude any frost development.

Tuesday thru Thursday...High pres will build S of the area Tue
then slide offshore Wed. Temps still below avg Tue with below
climo hts/thicknesses. Highs will be around 60 NW to mid 60s
south. Heights/thicknesses build on Wed with zonal flow and
temps will reach into the 70s inland to 60s OBX. Temps Wed
night will be mild with increasing moisture advection keeping
temps up in the upr 50s to near 60. Thursday should be back to
above climo with highs around 80 interior to 70s coast.

Friday through Saturday...Mainly dry shortwave and front pass
through by Friday with cooler air mass building in and highs
mid/upr 60s inland to upper 50s/low 60s OBX. Similar readings
can be expected to start the weekend on Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

evening, then line of strong to potentially severe tstms will
move across TAF sites 03Z-08Z with gusts up to 40 KT likely and
gusts over 50 KT possible. South winds will gust up to 35 KT
well in advance of front this afternoon into early evening.
Winds will become SW behind frontal passage but may still gust

ceilings re-develop late Mon morning and afternoon, but will
keep VFR for now.

Long Term /Monday night through Thursday/...
As of 4 AM Sun...Return to VFR on Monday as front races off the
coast by sunrise. Winds gusty WSW on Monday in the 20-25 kt
range. Continued dry but gusty on Tuesday with W winds gusting
20-25 kt. Continued dry Wed into Thu as high pres continues to
dominate the weather.

&&

.MARINE...

rivers and southern waters through 3 AM. Latest obs show S
winds 20-25 kt with seas 5-10 ft south of Oregon Inlet and 4-7
