Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
717 PM EDT Fri Sep 4 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front is forecast to push through the area early
Saturday. High pressure will build in from the north through
early next week with a coastal trough plaguing the coastal
areas.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
As of 710 PM Friday...Dewpoints have slowly been falling away
from the immediate coast this evening and have dropped to the
60s at several inland stations. A cold front currently crossing
the TN/NC mountains will work its way across the state and
offshore by early Saturday morning. Expect this cold front to
pass the area dry overnight, with slightly lower overnight low
temperatures in the low to mid 70s. Overall, no major changes to
the current forecast at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Friday...The cold front mentioned above will be
just to our south Saturday. Temps will run about 5 to 10 degrees
cooler than the previous few days and with dewpoints a tad lower
as well, it will feel much more comfortable. Despite the surface
boundary to our south, good upper level support and moisture
especially along and south of Highway 70 will support convection
from midday on. Continued to show the highest chances in places
like Jacksonville, Cape Carteret and Morehead City, with pops
dropping off sharply north of New Bern.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 4 AM Fri...High pressure rebuilding through early next
week and a coastal trough affecting the coast of NC through
early next week. Return to warm and humid conditions by mid week
with better chances for showers and storms.

Saturday night...

By Sat evening, sfc boundary will be offshore, though already
coastal troughing setting up as high pres ridges into the
interior Carolinas and E NC remains in cyclonic flow aloft. Rich
bndry layer moisture will persist, and therefore think showers
will stick around for the sern half of the FA. Have raised pops
to 30-50% here, though may need to raise them a bit more if
wetter ECM soln verifies.

Sunday through Thursday...The high pressure will ridge in from
the north and remain locked in off the New England coast through
early next week. However, pesky coastal trough will remain
along or just offshore Sun/Mon. Ocnl showers will plague coastal
locales, while inland areas remain mostly dry. Have indicated
fairly sharp pop gradient for this reason, with slght chc inland
to 30-50 pops the closer one gets to the OBX. More uniform
precip covg arrives by Tue or Wed as high pres begins to lose
it's grip on the Eastern Seaboard and coastal troughing advances
inland, with a return to dewpoints in the 70s and warming
temps with higher chances of showers or storms inland.

Temperatures will be knocked down to near or even below climo
early in the period, so expect highs in the 80s and lows in the
low/mid 60s interior to near 70 coast, then temps warm back to
above climo by mid next week.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Short Term /through 00Z Sunday/...
As of 715 PM Friday...VFR conditions expected through this TAF
cycle. Cold front should drop across the area overnight. The
front should provide sufficient mixing to prevent fog formation.
For Saturday, winds will be N/NE with a few gusts to 15 knots at
times. Convection associated with some upper level shortwave
energy behind the front, will be in areas east of the TAF sites.

Long Term /Saturday Night through Wednesday/...
As of 4 AM Fri...Nerly flow will bring ocnl threat of sct/bkn
low stratus and thus sub VFR by second half of the weekend into
early next week. Shower chances will be highest Sat/Sat night,
then be relegated to mainly coastal areas Sun/Mon.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /Tonight and Saturday/...
As of 715 PM Friday...Winds mostly E/SE along the coastal
waters, except SW over the far southern zones. Speeds are 5-10
knots with seas 2-3 feet. As a cold front approaches the waters
tonight winds will generally remain southeast up north, and
from the southwest across the central and southern waters,
remaining at less than 10 kts. Seas remain 2 to 3 feet
overnight.

Behind the front winds veer into the north to northeast Saturday
with a surge increasing winds to 15 to 20 kts. We may see a few
gusts around 25 kts for a brief time late Saturday afternoon on
favored exposed areas on a north-northeast fetch. This would
include the eastern end off the Pamlico Sound off Hatteras and
Ocracoke, along with the coastal waters from Cape Hatteras south
to Cape Lookout. Seas will build to 3 to 4 feet by afternoon.

Long Term /Saturday Night through Wednesday/...
As of 4 AM Fri...NE to ENE winds 10-20 kt winds will continue
through early next week as high pres ridges down from New
England and coastal troughing remains near the coast. Some ocnl
gusts to 25+ kt possible Sun into Mon as coastal trough may
tighten at times. Showers will be sct to numerous this period
with perhaps some ocnl thunder.
