Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
727 PM EDT Sun Oct 25 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak low pressure will develop near the coast this evening and
move offshore tonight. High pressure will dominate the weather
early to mid next week before a complex frontal system and low
pressure area impacts the area late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
As of 720 PM Sunday...Frontal boundary right along the coast
early this evening with temperatures in the 60s, except around
70 on the coast. After some areas received upwards of 2-3 inches
of rain earlier today, the precipitation continues to slowly
dissipate, and is limited to the far northern tier. Kept PoPs in
the area for the next few hours, but anticipate little in the
way of measurable rain overnight with mostly patches of drizzle.
Some patchy fog is also quite likely, especially inland western
and northern areas. No changes needed to overnight lows with
upper 50s to lower 60s for most areas, except mid to upper 60s
Outer Banks.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
As of 245 PM Sun...Shld be dry as low pres moves further
offshore and high pres builds in. Main question is how much sun
we get as low clouds will be slow to lift/erode and may not
see breaks til late if at all some spots. Leaned a bit twrd
cooler guidance with upr 60s/lower 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 330 AM Sun...High pressure keeps settled weather
conditions in place through mid week. A complex low
pressure/frontal system will lift from the Gulf Coast and TN
Valley then zoom across the eastern US, bringing the potential
for unsettled weather Thursday into Friday.

Tuesday and Wednesday...High pressure should dominate this
period, as fairly strong upr ridge will reside over the swrn
Atlantic keeping dry and warm conditions in place over ern NC.
Continued above climo temps with highs in the 70s, possibly
around 80 by Wed. Lows will be mainly in the 60s.

Thursday and Friday...Low pressure, which the National Hurricane
Center currently expects to become tropical over the next 24-48
hrs, will lift from the Gulf Coast towards the interior ern US
later next week. The track of this low is highly uncertain, but
the overall expectation is increased deep moisture transport
across the Southeast and a more warm/humid/unsettled period as
the tropical system gets absorbed in a fast moving shortwave
that will move quickly eastward. Rainfall timing, amount,
intensity, and the severe weather potential are low track
dependent, and will be refined in subsequent forecasts. Have
continued high chc pops Thu into Fri.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Short Term /Through 00Z Tuesday/...
As of 720 PM Sunday...While the measurable precipitation has
largely come to an end across eastern NC, northeast flow will
provide deep moisture underneath a strong low-level inversion
that will produce patches of drizzle overnight into Monday
morning. Some patchy fog is also possible. IFR/LIFR conditions
will be widespread through at least midday on Monday, with some
slight improvement to perhaps MVFR during Monday afternoon,
about 18z. Any VFR conditions later Monday afternoon will likely
be short-lived, as low-level moisture will again lead to low
ceilings on Monday night.

Long Term /Monday night through Thursday/...
As of 1220 PM Sun...VFR conditions prevail most of the period.
Will have typical threat of late night and early morn
fog/stratus. By Thu wl start to see some shra develop ahead of
next system with sub VFR poss at times.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /through Tonight/...
As of 725 PM Sunday...Front is offshore with NE flow across our
coastal waters and Sounds. Winds are 10-15 knots, except 15-20
knots off the central and northern waters. Seas continue
elevated over the central and northern tier at 6-8 feet with
13-14 second wave periods. SCA continues through midnight and
may need to extend if seas do not show any signs of going down.
Monday seas should be in the 3-5 foot range.

Long Term /Mon night through Thu/...
As of 330 AM Sat...High pressure dominates Tuesday and
Wednesday, bringing more favorable marine conditions with light
to moderate winds and 3 to 4 ft seas. Strong cold front and low
pressure system approach on Thu, with winds and seas increasing
to SCA levels in strengthening swrly flow.
