Area forecast discussion, Nov 15, 1:15 AM EST, 1 hour 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
115 AM EST Fri Nov 15 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
A trough of low pressure will develop along the coast tonight
and move offshore Friday. A strong coastal low will impact the
area this weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1255 AM Friday...Light rain starting to move into our
southwestern zones with steadier and heavier rain to our south
in the Wilmington area as the lower atmosphere moistens. Rain
should increase in coverage through the remainder of the
overnight hours and current high PoPs look good. Little change
expected in the current temperatures with overnight lows ranging
from the mid 40s inland to lower 50s along the coast, except mid
60s around Cape Hatteras in the warm sector.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
As of 345 Thu...Widespread shower activity will be ongoing
Friday morning. The coastal trough may slide back over the coast
or just offshore by midday, but POPs remain categorical as a
shortwave aloft moves up the coast from late morning through the
afternoon, developing a low within the offshore trough and
bringing an enhanced period of rainfall. Highest rainfall
amounts will be focused along the coast, with 1-1.5 inches
possible mainly from the Crystal Coast up the Outer Banks, and
localized areas receiving one inch or more possible elsewhere.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 430 PM Thu...A major coastal storm is threatening to
bring a variety of significant impacts to coastal Eastern NC
this weekend. Another coastal storm system is possible by mid
week next week.
Friday Night through Sunday...Friday's initial surface low will
shift east while a second surface low develops off the
Southeastern U.S. coast, deepening below 1000 mb off the
Carolina Coast. The upper low shifts farther east over the
surface low and becomes more vertically stacked, aiding in
further deepening on Saturday, with guidance continuing to
suggest a sub-1000mb low slowly passing a few hundred miles off
the NC coast through the weekend. Gradient winds around this low
through the entire weekend will be strong and lead to potential
major coastal flooding issues across the area. See the Coastal
Flooding section below for details. At this time, have issued a
High Wind Watch for East Carteret and OBX and Mainland Hyde and
Dare counties with wind gusts as high as 55 to 65 mph possible.
Wind advisories will likely be issued for the next tier of
counties inland as we get closer to the event. There will again
be a gradient with rainfall across ENC, upwards of 2-5 inches
along the immediate coast to 1-2 inches for interior portions.
The rain will fall over a long period of time however, and at
this time do not expect any flood concerns. Temps will remain
mild due to cloud cover/precip, highs in the 50s inland, 60s
along the coast, lows near 40 inland with 50s along the
coast/Outer Banks.
Monday through Thursday...The coastal low will gradually lift
northeast away from the region on Monday with improving coastal
conditions, while another shortwave trough digs into the Gulf
States possibly developing another coastal low for Tuesday or
Wednesday. Large spread amongst ensembles this far out in time,
so have no higher than 20-40% chances for rain at this time.
High pressure is expected to build in behind the low for the
latter half of the week.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Short Term /through 06Z Saturday/...
As of 1 AM Friday...VFR conditions currently, but with light
precipitation now moving into the southwestern zones and
reaching KOAJ, expect conditions to deteriorate during the early
morning hours and widespread IFR conditions likely from early
this morning through the duration of the TAF cycle. Could also
see a period of low level wind shear Fri evening.
Long Term /Friday Night through Tuesday/...
As of 4 PM Thu...Generally poor flying conditions expected
through the weekend as low pressure will be sitting off the
coast leading to high rain chances, gusty winds, and low clouds.
Low-level wind shear will also be a concern, especially
Saturday afternoon through Sunday night. Return to VFR by Monday
as the low moves northeast away from the area, but could see
another coastal storm impact rtes next Tuesday with another
period of sub-VFR conditions.
&&
.MARINE...
Short Term /through Friday/...
As of 115 AM Friday...With the exception of gusts to 23 knots at
Diamond Buoy, winds are generally at 15 knots or less on areas
waters early this morning with seas at 3-5 feet. Moderate
winds continue into the day Friday as the trough moves back over
the coast in the morning, shifting winds northeasterly. Winds
will become breezy late in the day in response to low pressure
forming off the Southeast coast.
Seas will remain around 3-5 ft tonight through Friday morning in

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 630 PM Thu...A complex low pressure system will impact
eastern NC this weekend as it slowly moves northeastward off of
the Southeastern U.S. coast. Persistent, strong north to
northeast winds will lead to potentially significant coastal
flooding along the soundside areas of the Outer Banks, mainly
south of Oregon Inlet, Downeast Carteret County, the Lower Neuse
River, and southern shores of the Albemarle Sound and Alligator
River. Also, significant beach erosion and ocean overwash are
expected along the Outer Banks, especially north of Cape
Hatteras where portions of NC 12 could become inundated and
impassible at times. A Coastal Flood Watch has been issued for
OBX Dare and Hyde Counties as well as Mainland Hyde, Pamlico,
Southern Craven, and East Carteret Counties. Expect to see
inundation of 2-4 ft agl, with locally higher amounts possible.
