Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
756 AM EDT Tue May 5 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will briefly build in from the north this
morning. A warm front will push into the area from the south,
with low pressure passing over southern NC Wednesday morning.
Behind that system high pressure builds into the area, followed
by a strong cold front Friday night. High pressure will then
build in from the west over the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 730 AM Tuesday...A backdoor cold front has pushed south
of the region, while showers and a few embedded elevated
thunderstorms are pushing across the southern tier. The front
will stall to the south today while WAA aloft and a weak mid-
level disturbance will bring increasing isentropic lift through
the morning and early afternoon hours. Elevated convection will
propagate ewd across the southern tier through the morning hours
with less of a chance of storms to the north as it resides
farther into the stable environment. There will be a large
range in temps across the area today with highs only expected
around 60 across northern sections to around 70 far southern
sections.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
As of 415 AM Tuesday...A nrn stream mid-level trough digs into
the Ohio River Valley tonight while an area of low pressure
develops along the stalled front to the south, which will push
across ENC overnight bringing another round of showers and
thunderstorms to the region. The front is progged to lift back
into the Pamlico Sound region bringing greater instability along
coastal sections and could see a few stronger storms develop
here, but NW sections will remain in the cool sector with any
storms expected to remain elevated. Lows tonight expected in the
low to mid 50s inland to around 60 coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 255 AM Tuesday...Temperatures will be much below normal
for much of the week into the weekend as a series of strong cold
fronts move through the area within a deep mid level trough
which is forecast to persist across the Eastern US for the next
week or more. 500 MB heights and 850 Temps at times are forecast
to be -2/-3 SD signaling an anomalously cold pattern for NC.
The CPC 6-10 day and 8-14 day temp Outlooks are also indicating
a very strong signal for a prolonged period of much below normal
temperatures. Unsettled weather is expected to continue into
Wed, followed by mainly drier weather towards the end of the
week and into the weekend.

Wednesday and Wednesday night...Low pressure will be passing off
of the Outer Banks Wed morning, dragging a cold front through
the area and offshore by afternoon. Showers and possibly a few
strong thunderstorms should be ongoing in the morning ahead of
the front. These showers should end by afternoon, however, the
aprroach of a mid level shortwave will likely trigger
additional showers late Wed into Wed night when the rain threat
should end around dawn as the shortwave moves off the coast.
Temperatures look to be below normal Wed, in the mid to upper
60s north and lower 70s south.

Thursday through Monday...Much below normal temperatures are
expected for much of the period. Highs on Thu will only be in
the low to mid 60s with lows Thu night in the 40s inland and 50s
coast. Highs Fri should moderate into the low to mid 70s ahead
of a cold front which is expected to bring a threat of showers
Fri afternoon into Fri night as it crosses the area. High
pressure is forecast to build over the area over the weekend.
Lows again will be in the 40s inland Fri night and Highs only in
the upper 50s to lower 60s Sat. Sat night could see record cold
with many inland locations dropping into the upper 30s. Highs
Sunday again will only be in the low to mid 60s. Highs are
forecast to moderate back into the low to mid 70s Monday ahead
of a dry cold front.

with sub-VFR conditions expected to develop around mid day and
continue overnight. A cold front has pushed south of  rtes this
morning with a strong low level inversion developing in its
wake. Overrunning moisture above the inversion will bring
showers and lowering cigs through the morning and expect MVFR
cigs to develop late this morning and afternoon. The front will
lift back into the area tonight with an area of low pressure
lifting NE along it overnight with cigs expected to lower to IFR
this evening with another round of showers and thunderstorms
