Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
549 PM EDT Mon Sep 9 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Fair and warm weather will prevail much of the week with temperatures
slightly above normal. A weakening cold front will drop into the area
tonight into Tuesday, leading to isolated to widely scattered showers
and thunderstorms. High pressure then prevails Wednesday and
Thursday. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase Friday into
next weekend as a cold front approaches then stalls just north
of the area.

&&

.UPDATE...
Substantially increased PoPs now through 00z for the supercell
thunderstorm in the ILM vicinity. Expect it to backbuild upshear
rather than racing eastward with the steering flow. Lesser
increases in PoPs along/ahead of the front elsewhere. No other
significant changes.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Cold front draped W and north of local area will drop south
tonight. Surface flow out of the south ahead of it was
maintaining a warm and humid weather ahead of front, but dry air
and ridging in the mid levels will continue to keep convection
limited. Only isolated and localized shwrs/tstms were
developing, mainly associated with sea breeze convergence. The
flow above the surface was out of the W-NW and will drive
and shwrs and clouds toward the coast. Expect this front to
drop down through the area overnight and therefore will keep
isolated convection along boundary overnight. Soundings show
subsidence inversion with mainly elevated instability overnight,
but expect best chc over SE NC where better instability is
located with slightly higher dewpoints. Boundary weakens as it
heads south with winds shifting from light southerly to
northerly by morning. Expect some fog and or stratus to develop
overnight toward daybreak with lows in the low to mid 70s which
should dissipate by mid morning.

The front drops into the area early Tuesday while weakening as
ridge aloft builds over the Southeast and becomes stronger with
H5 heights reaching up near 594. This should maintain limited
convective activity on Tues, mainly along sea breeze over NE SC
and possibly over the adjacent waters overnight Tues.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Building ridge of high pressure aloft will bring near to slightly
above normal temperatures during mid week with heat indices in the
mid to upper 90s.  Some remote chances for showers and thunderstorms
in the afternoon with increased surface heating and available
moisture. Otherwise, beautiful weather expected for mid week.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Ridge of high pressure over the eastern CONUS will provide mostly
sunny skies for the long term forecast period.  There may be a front
approaching the area late in the week that could bring some chances
for showers and thunderstorms.  Otherwise, a fairly quiet period of
weather in the long term.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR throughout the period with a few showers and thunderstorms
possible this afternoon, especially along the coast with the
development of the sea breeze. Skies begin to clear tonight and
this will lead to patchy stratus and fog across the area
tomorrow. Similar day on Tuesday with VFR conditions continuing.
Winds will become northerly tomorrow as a weak cold front moves
south of the area. This could prolong stratus for a few hours
longer than normal.

Extended...Predominately VFR conditions over the weekend and early
next week with possible fog or stratus in the morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Cold front will drop through the waters from the north tonight
into Tues as it weakens. Seas will remain less than 3 ft as
light southerly flow veers around to the N behind the front.
Overall expect variable winds with benign seas and a longer
period SE swell mixing in. High pressure will extend in from the
north behind front. Winds will be gustier along coast in sea
breeze Tues aftn.

Waves 2 to 4 feet from the middle of the week through the weekend.
Wind waves south of the northeast around 4 seconds with swell
from the southeast between 10 and 12 seconds. Wind waves
decrease for the end of the week into the weekend with swells
decreasing to between 6 and 8 seconds. Winds stay light under 10
kts.
