Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
311 PM EDT Thu Apr 18 2019

High pressure over the western Atlantic will continue to
influence the weather through tonight. A strong frontal system
will approach from the west Friday and move through the area
Friday night and early Saturday. High pressure will build into
the region early next week and continue through mid week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 245 PM Thursday...Southerly flow will continue to
increase tonight as the gradient tightens between Atlantic high
pressure and an approaching cold front from the west. As warm
advection increases late tonight, deeper moisture will begin to
stream in from the south and this should lead to the development
of scattered showers late. The combination of mostly cloudy
skies and southerly flow will result in mild overnight lows in
the mid to upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 245 PM Thursday...An exceptionally high amplitude upper
trough digging across the eastern US will develop a
cutoff/stacked low over the Tennessee Valley Friday. This low,
in combination with the persistent high offshore, will help
develop deep layer southerly flow/moisture advection locally.
Looks like numerous showers develop and advect into E NC from
the south early Friday as layer streamlines surge to +13 g/kg,
along with decent lift around base of advancing aforementioned
upper low. Only iso embedded thunder expected as CAPE vals will
be limited in the morning. May be better coverage of TSRA, esp
inland, Friday afternoon, as instability rises due to T/TD vals
increasing through the day. Raised temps slight Fri as almost
all guidance shows low to poss mid 80s inland with a few peaks
of mid day sun poss. Flow off the wtr will keep beaches a bit
cooler.

Severe risk increases Friday evening as the stacked low moves
over the southern Appalachians, with very strong winds on its
east side throughout the column. Guidance continues to show a
LLJ with winds of 50-60 kt at 925 mb ahead of a cold front that
will slowly cross the area Friday night. Gusty to strong winds
will arrive with the jet, especially for coastal areas, and have
upgraded the high wind watch to a High Wind Warning (>55 mph)
for Eastern Carteret through Hatteras Island, with a Wind
Advisory for adjacent zones from coastal Onlsow to the northern
OBX.

Additionally, the primary band of prefrontal moisture
convergence will cross the area Friday night and despite
continued limited instability (about 1000 J/kg per ensemble
guidance), showers and thunderstorms will bring the potential
for damaging wind gusts as they readily mix the very strong LLJ
winds to the surface. An isolated tornado threat will be present
as sfc winds are backed slightly to SSE providing helicity vals
to ~350 M2/S2. Heavy rain rates are expected, and will lead to
localized minor flooding as a slowly eastward propagating line
of heavy convective showers/embedded thunder is likely.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 PM Thu...Dry weather is forecast to prevail the
beginning through the middle of next week.

Saturday and Sunday...The cold front will be near the coast by
sunrise Saturday, and push off the coast during the morning. The
stacked low lifting across the Great Lakes will remain in
control of our weather, bringing atypical post- frontal
southwesterly flow and thus a lack of the CAA we typically see
behind FROPAs. Subsidence aloft will bring predominantly settled
conditions despite the lack of significant low level airmass
change. The upper low aloft has enough strong lift associated
with it to not completely discount a rogue iso shower or two,
and kept slgt chc PoPs to account for this.

The strong upr low will finally rotate through or near E NC on
Sunday, again possibly squeezing out some sct/iso showers
despite the limited moisture, esp in the afternoon as atms
destabilizes. No changes to the chc to slgt chc shower, best
chances nrn zones closer to vcnty of upr low. Threat comes to
end by Sunday evening.

Monday through Wednesday...Subtropical high pressure is
expected to ridge into the area early next week, bringing rain-
free conditions and near to above normal temperatures. A
backdoor cold front may make an approach towards our region
during the period. This feature could be a focal point for
another round of precip for the region, but with
timing/evolution differences only going for slgt chc PoPs for
now. Temperatures will be about 5 to 10 degrees above normal for
the period.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Short Term /through Fri/...
As of 1230 PM Thursday...VFR conditions expected thru the
evening with some increase in mid and highs clouds....S winds
will cont gust 20 to 25 kts. Later tonight gusty S winds cont
with most guidance showing a period of MVFR cigs developing
along with some sct prefrontal shra. Cigs will lift to VFR
later Fri morn and into the aftn, however sct shra/tsra will
cont with poss some pds of sub VFR. S winds will be quite strong
Fri with gusts to around 30kts mid to late morn thru the aftn.
More organized and poss severe storms expected aft 00z Sat.

Long Term /Friday Night through Monday/...
As of 305 PM Thu...Flying conditions deteriorate rapidly Friday
night with additional showers and thunderstorms impacting the
terminals at times. Pre-frontal wind gusts of around 30 knots
are still expected Friday evening. Severe storms producing very
strong winds are also a threat Friday night, along with Low
level wind shear. More settled (VFR) conditions will gradually
ensue again on Saturday and dominate through early next week.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Fri night/...
As of 245 PM Thursday...Very hazardous boating conditions
develop Fri and cont Fri night. S winds will cont to grad
increase tonight between approaching cold front and offshore
high pres. S winds 15 to 25 kts this evening will reach 20 to 30
kts late with seas to 6 to 9 feet by morn. Strong low lvl SSW
jet ahead of the approaching frontal system will move over the
region late Fri and Fri night with Gale to Storm force winds
expected. The strongest winds will be over the coastal wtrs from
Oregon Inlet to Cape Lookout Fri evening and this is where have
issued storm warning for winds gusts up to 50 kt. Winds shld be
in 25 to 35 kt range with gusts to 40/45 kts most other wtrs
and Gale Warnings have been issued. The strong winds will lead
to seas reaching 15 to 20 ft outer wtrs off Hatteras Island Fri
night.

Long Term /Sat through Tue/...
As of 310 PM Thu... The cold front will cross the waters
Saturday morning, and conditions will only slight improve
through the day Saturday and into Sunday, as gusty SW winds are
expected to continue in the SCA range, keeping seas elevated
above 6 ft until Sunday overnight into Monday morning, when
good boating conditions finally return by the beginning of the
work week.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 245 PM Thu...The strong S winds will build waves in the
surf zone from Hatteras Island S to 8+ ft Fri aftn thru most of
Sat. Waves in surf zone could reach 10 ft Fri night for the S
facing beaches from Cape Hat S. This rough surf will likely lead
to some beach erosion and poss local overwash. The strong winds
will also increase wtr lvls over the northern Pamlico Sound
into the Roanoke/Croatan Sounds region Fri evening and Fri
night...Coastal Flood Advisories may be needed for the sound
side areas in this region in later fcsts.
