Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
355 AM EDT Sat May 18 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure at the surface and aloft will remain along the
Southeast coast into early next week. A backdoor cold front will
move into the region Tuesday and remain stationary over Eastern
NC, before moving back north on Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of 245 AM Sat...Cluster of shra/tsra far NE will be offshore
shortly with mainly dry weather expected thru morn. A weak
backdoor front will sag S thru nrn half of region today before
slowing and stalling late. This coupled with inland moving sea
breeze may spark some isold/wdly sct shra/tsra this aftn mainly
inland. Most mdls showing very little cvrg so will keep pops in
slight range. Thicknesses support highs in lower 90s inland and
coupled with dewpts in 60s will lead to apparent temps in
mid/upr 90s. Over NE cst temps will be cooler as onshore flow
develops off cooler ocean behind front.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 245 AM Sat...Upr rdg will cont over the region
suppressing convection with any residual acvty that forms on sea
brz rapidly ending early evening. With stalled front over
central/srn tier expect winds to be light with lows temps a
little cooler but still mild in the 60s. Some patchy fog may
develop with light winds and high dewpts.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 330 AM Sat...The summery pattern will continue through
most of next week, as high temperatures are expected to be well
above normal. However, sandwiched between these very warm days
will be a couple more pleasant days Tuesday and Wednesday, as a
backdoor cold front cools the area down more towards normal.
It will also be very dry through the next 7 days, with only
some isolated chances of rain and/or thunderstorms.

Sunday and Monday...High pressure will remain offshore Sunday
and Monday, and will allow high temps to climb into the upper
80s to low 90s inland, and the low to mid 80s along the coast.
Some weak convergence over the coastal plain Sunday afternoon
could spark some scattered thunderstorms, so have introduced
slight chance PoPs through Sunday evening.

Tuesday and Wednesday...A backdoor front will move into Eastern
NC on Tuesday turning winds to the E/NE for all areas by
Tuesday night. With the exception of an isolated shower across
the coastal plain and north of US 64 Tuesday morning, associated
with the front, it will be dry again on Tuesday. Winds continue
out of the east of Wednesday as the front remains stationary
over central NC. Persistent onshore winds will limit highs
across the Outer Banks and into the Albemarle-Pamlico peninsula
both days, with readings only reaching the upper 70s to low 80s.
Elsewhere, highs will reach the mid to upper 80s.

Thursday and Friday...A strengthening upper level ridge will
move out of the Gulf of Mexico and park itself over the deep
south Wednesday into Thursday. Surface high pressure will again
set up over the western Atlantic, bringing a return to deep SW
flow to the region. Early signs are showing that this
combination could bring close to record heat to the Southeast
US. However, the latest model runs have the high a little
further west, placing Eastern NC on the peripheral of the heat
ridge. This will keep highs a little cooler on Thursday and
possibly allow a cold front to move though the area on Friday.
This is of course subject to change again, but will keep high
temps in the 90s both Thursday and Friday, but mostly low 90s.
Low to mid 80s are expected closer to the coast.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Short Term /through Tonight/...
As of 1230 AM Sat...VFR conditions should prevail through most
of this TAF cycle. Small batch shra/tsra expected to remain
well to NE next few hrs. Some widely sct convection poss on sea
breeze and southward moving weak cold front inland this aftn
but limited cvrg with only small chc will impact a terminal.
The weak front will drop S and stall over srn tier later today
and tonight. Light winds and high dewpts in wake of this front
may lead to patchy fog/st late tonight but for now best
potential looks to be NE of taf sites.

Long Term /Sunday through Wednesday/...
As of 345 AM Sat...VFR conditions are expected through the
period. With higher moisture in the air next week, some patchy
fog will be possible across inland locations for the overnight
hours in the mornings.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Tonight/...
As of 245 AM Sat...Weak front will drop S over the north half
of region today then stall and grad dissipate tonight. Pres
grdnt will grad loosen today with diminishing winds...dir
becoming more ENE behind front nrn half and cont SW over srn
tier. With stalled/dissipating front over region tonight expect
light winds all wtrs. Some 6 ft seas may cont few more hrs outer
central wtrs then expect seas to grad subside to 2 to 4 feet
today and 2 to 3 feet tonight.

Long Term /Sunday through Wednesday/...
As of 345 AM Fri...Winds Sunday will be mostly SW 10-15 kts, and
then increase slightly on Monday to 15-20 kts with some gusts
to 25 kts ahead of a cold front. Small craft conditions may be
possible over the central and northern coastal waters for a
period Monday night. A backdoor front then moves into the waters
on Tuesday dropping slowly from north to south. Winds behind
the front will be mostly NE 5-10 kts on Tuesday, and then E 5-10
kts on Wednesday. Seas through the period will be mostly 2-3
ft, though seas will increase to 3-5 ft for some time Monday
night and into Tuesday morning.
