Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 2:48 PM EDT, 3 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 248 PM EDT Sat Jun 22 2019 .SYNOPSIS... An upper disturbance will bring strong thunderstorms this evening and possibly another round tomorrow. Hotter and drier weather is expected Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will remain warm from Wednesday onward while storm chances return. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... The entire area is now under Severe Thunderstorm Watch number 424. The forecast is evolving as expected (so far) with a MCS exiting the mountains and what appears to be an outflow boundary approaching our area from the north. We still have very little cumulus development and it will probably be closer to 5 PM when conditions become more conducive for development in our area, the convective cap erodes from earlier convection and these features arrive. Near term high resolution as well as global guidance shows somewhat organized convection this evening kinda lingering into the overnight hours. The highest pops and severe potential are later this afternoon and evening. As for Sunday the baroclinic zone lingers and continues to basically bisect the area. Guidance maintains some activity basically all day thus I'm thinking this will not necessarily be a MCS via more continuity but confidence is a bit lower. Sunday night should be dry. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... As of 300 PM Saturday...Yet another afternoon with strong instability developing Monday. The vort-laden northwesterly flow will be no more however as mid level ridging builds overhead. The GFS shows only scant precipitation (mainly along the sea breeze) whereas the WRF keeps the area dry altogether. The former solution is the going forecast and has been more or left as-is with 20 POPs across coastal counties. Temperature guidance is tightly clustered in depicting mid/upper 80s coast to mid 90s I-95 corridor. Monday night lows will be mild and tend to run in the low 70s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 300 PM Saturday...Mid level ridge/surface Piedmont trough remains in place on Tuesday, which should thus wind up another warm day with isolated convection at best. A shortwave hacks away at the ridging locally on Wednesday bringing a small uptick in storm coverage. In its wake mid level flow collapses to light and variable, with a ridge possibly developing offshore by the period's end/Saturday. Expect a long stretch of warmer than normal temperatures and isolated diurnal thunderstorms along the sea breeze, which should be free to make good inland progress. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 18Z...The atmosphere will take its time reloading this afternoon, as an MCC came through last night. Look for a similiar thing happening tonight as another MCS is likely to develop after 00Z. Low confidence on timing, but best chance will be around 04-07Z timeframe. Strong winds are possible. Sunday, still some showers hanging around the coast after daybreak. MVFR ceilings are a good bet with possible IFR ceilings. Extended Outlook...Mainly VFR through the period with brief MVFR/IFR conditions from afternoon convection and early morning fog and/or, low stratus. && .MARINE... As of 3 PM Saturday... Very quiet conditions over the waters from a synoptic standpoint basically through the near term period. Winds will continue to be light and variable with significant seas of two feet or so. However we continue to expect some thunderstorms to move across from time to time more certain this evening and they will produce locally strong winds and seas. Weak flow aloft paired with an eastward drifting piedmont trough will keep winds southwesterly at 10kt and seas just around 2 ft Monday and Tuesday. An upper disturbance on Wednesday will have a weak but possibly closed surface reflection that will yield even lighter and somewhat variable winds. Minimal wind and waves will persist into Thursday as this feature dissipates in some guidance and retrogrades back to the east in others. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...None. NC...None. MARINE...None. && SYNOPSIS...MBB NEAR TERM...SHK SHORT TERM...MBB LONG TERM...MBB AVIATION...21
