...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EDT THIS EVENING 
FOR CENTRAL ONSLOW COUNTY...

At 550 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated 
thunderstorms producing heavy rain have moved across the warned area 
over the last couple of hours. Between 3 and 5 inches of rain have 
fallen. Another batch of heavy rainfall is moving in from the west 
which could exacerbate current flooding. Flash flooding is expected 
to be ongoing or expected to begin shortly with additional rainfall.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Doppler radar and automated gauges.

IMPACT...Flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
         highways, streets and underpasses as well as other
         drainage and low lying areas.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Jacksonville, New River Station, Half Moon, Pumpkin Center, Camp 
  Lejeune Center, Piney Green, Verona, Catherine Lake, Kellum, 
  Midway Park, Richlands South and Haws Run.

Additional rainfall amounts of 0.5 to 1 inch are possible in the 
warned area.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small 
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses 
as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you 
can do so safely.

A Flash Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. 
If you are in the warned area move to higher ground immediately. 
Residents living along streams and creeks should take immediate 
precautions to protect life and property.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
337 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak front will cross the area this evening and move offshore
tonight. The front will linger to our south through late week as
Bermuda high pressure builds in from the east for the next several
days.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
As of 320 PM Monday...Active convection underway over the
southern tier of the CWA at mid-afternoon with the stronger
thunderstorms producing small hail. Atmosphere quite unstable
across the region with surface-based CAPES as high as 4000 J/kg
and LI's down to around -9, so the potential for locally
damaging winds and larger hail will continue for a few more
hours. Overall, the threat of scattered strong to potentially
severe storms will continue until or shortly after 00z as
vigorous mid- level shortwave crosses the area and moves
offshore later this evening. Once the shortwave moves offshore,
would expect a quick ending to the precipitation with loss of
daytime heating. Skies clear overnight and with wet ground, some
patchy fog is possible. Lows will be in the low to mid 70s by
morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
As of 325 PM Monday...Weak ridging develops across the region
tomorrow in the wake of the mid-level shortwave. Any convective
development on Tuesday will be limited to sea breeze initiation
and widely scattered, so will have just a slight chance (20%)
PoP for Tuesday. Uniform temperatures expected for Tuesday with
highs 90-92 in most areas, except mid/upper 80s Outer Banks.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 330 PM Mon...Upper level ridging continues over the
Carolinas through midweek, again leaving the primary focus for
afternoon convection on the sea breeze. Highs in the upper 80s
to low 80s each day. Lows in the mid to upper 70s.

Late week, a surface low develops over the Ohio Valley and pushes
northeastward through New England, eventually dragging a front into
North Carolina for the weekend. Models generally agree on timing but
that is about where the comparison ends as the GFS spins up the
system quickly and is more robust throughout the rest of the run. In
its wake, a relative surface high develops over the Ohio valley and
helps push convection with the front into North Carolina. By
contrast, the ECMWF solution is not as strong and doesn't develop
this feature. Therefore it is weaker and slower with the surface
low, and the associated front has a hard time making it into eastern
NC. Will handle for now with chance PoPs until more details evolve.
Regardless, it will continue to be warm with highs around 90 and
lows in the mid 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Short Term /through 18Z Tuesday/...
As of 1215 PM Monday...VFR conditions at early afternoon, but
fairly widespread convection is possible over the next few hours
with unstable airmass and a decent mid-level shortwave crossing
the area. Continued with TEMPO for scattered thunderstorms with
brief reduced vsbys/cigs in the late afternoon hours. All
convection should wane fairly quickly by 02-03z, followed by a
mid deck of clouds. With wet ground and light winds, some light
fog (MVFR) is possible toward morning on Tuesday.

Long Term /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 4 PM Monday...VFR expected through much of the long term
aside from sea breeze convection during the afternoons and an
associated chance of fog during the early morning hours where
rain occurs. By the end of the week attention will turn to an
approaching front that may bring an increased chance of showers
and storms to the area. With this will come a better chance for
adverse aviation conditions.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term /Tonight and Tuesday/...
As of 340 PM Monday...Winds at late afternoon are SW 10-15 knots
with a few higher gusts with seas 2-4 feet north and 3-5 feet
central and southern waters. Based on trends, have cancelled all
SCA's for area waters. Winds should generally be SW/W overnight
and Tuesday with seas dropping back to 2-4 feet for most areas
Tuesday as weak ridging builds over area waters.

Long Term /Tuesday Night through Saturday/...
As of 400 PM Mon...A period of variable wind directions is
expected Tuesday night and Wednesday, then southerly winds
should prevail through much of the rest of the forecast period
with seas around 2 feet.
