Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
336 AM EST Tue Nov 13 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A low pressure system will quickly move across the area today.
A cold front will then move through later this evening followed
by high pressure Wednesday. Another area of low pressure will
affect the area Thursday into Friday. High pressure will ridge
into the region this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 335 AM Tuesday...Tornado Watch in effect for eastern NC
until 8 AM. Potential for severe weather and isolated tornadoes
early this morning. Watching an intense couplet over the coastal
waters south of Onslow County. With decent low-level shear
with strong SE surface winds and a 850 mb jet in excess of 40-50
knots, the potential exists for some rotating storms with
isolated tornadoes through 12z or so. Tight thermal gradient in
place with temperatures around 70 on the coast, but in the upper
50s/lower 60s inland.

Also monitoring some localized heavy rainfall with 1-2 inches
likely in many areas, and locally up to 3 inches, which may
produce some minor flooding of low-lying areas.

Once the severe threat ends around 12z-13z, a more steady light
to moderate rain will follow. Dewpoints will start to fall
during the afternoon as the cold front moves toward the coast.
Temperatures will remain fairly steady through the day before
falling late.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
As of 3 AM Tuesday...High pressure will build in from the
northwest later tonight as dewpoints drop into the 40s. Lower
clouds are likely to hang around through most of the night. Lows
tonight will be in the lower 40s inland to the lower 50s coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 110 AM Tues...Active weather will continue into the
second half of the week. Then, drier and cooler air will move in
Friday and remain into the weekend.

Wednesday...High pressure will build into the area behind the
front, resulting in a mainly dry and cool day Wednesday. Gusty
winds (especially for coastal areas) will ensue Wednesday
afternoon/evening as low pressure developing across the Deep
South works with high pressure across the Northeast to tighten
the gradient locally.

Thursday...The aforementioned low will travel up the east coast
Thursday, brining another soggy and windy day. Models have come
into better agreement on an inland track up the I-95 corridor,
which would put part of Eastern NC in the warm sector once
again. Forecast guidance is showing another 1-3 inches of rain
is possible which could lead to some minor flooding problems
given the amount of recent rainfall. Have also raised PoPs to
categorical for most of Thursday. Severe weather is also
possible as scattered thunderstorms could track along the coast
as the low pressure system deepens as it moves up the east
coast. Temperatures will be very warm once the area is in the
warm sector will reach the mid 60s inland and the upper 60s to
around 70 near the coast.

Friday through Monday...As low pressure departs the area, it
will drag a cold front off the coast Friday morning, with cooler
high pressure building in behind it. High pressure will
continue to ridge into the area through this weekend and into
Monday, however cooler conditions are expected. High temps
Friday will reach the low to upper 60s, with mostly 50s likely
for the weekend. Lows will dip into the 30s inland, but look to
remain above freezing, while remaining in the low to mid 40s
along the coast.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Short Term /through 06Z Wednesday/...
As of 1235 AM Tuesday...As precipitation increases across
eastern NC over the next few hours, ceilings should lower with
widespread IFR conditions developing. These conditions should
continue through the day. Convective threat with strong winds
during the early morning hours should evolve to a more showery
scenario by mid-morning. Strong low-level shear is likely
through the early morning hours with gusty SE winds at the
surface and 850 mb winds at 50+ knots. Ceilings may briefly lift
to MVFR during the afternoon, but then fall again after dark per
guidance.

Long Term /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 120 AM Tues...VFR conditions will return Wednesday, but
be short-lived as IFR conditions are likely as low pressure
impacts the area late Wednesday through Thursday night. VFR
conditions return Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /Today and Tonight/...
As of 3 AM Tuesday...Gusty winds continue on the coastal waters
and Sounds early this morning. Seas continue to build and will
top out at 10-12 feet this morning. Winds likewise will peak
early this morning before subsiding fairly quickly during the
afternoon and early evening. Winds will then increase again late
tonight behind the cold front. Seas will remain elevated
throughout the period.

Long Term /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 120 AM Tues...Winds and seas will increase Wednesday
ahead of an approaching low and remain elevated, with very
dangerous boat conditions expected as low pressure passes near
the waters through at least Thursday night. Gale Force winds are
expected across the coastal waters and possibly the sounds and
will be SE/E 25-30 kts with gusts 30-40 kts, and seas will build
to 6-12 ft in response. Conditions should begin to improve
Friday, but seas look to remain elevated through Saturday.
