Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
240 PM EDT Tue Jun 15 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible late this
afternoon and early evening associated with a cold front. Drier
air will filter in behind the front through the end of the week.
Moisture returns later in the weekend and early next week,
leading to an increase in showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
No significant changes to our thinking with the activity expected
for the rest of today into early this evening. A surface cold front
ahead of a mid level trough is extending SW to NE across our CWA
this afternoon. Convection is starting to ramp up near this feature
(and other boundaries) and that should be the trend over the next
couple of hours. As highlighted earlier, some storms may become
strong to severe given ample instability and 30-40kts of bulk shear.
Main threats continue to be damaging wind gusts and hail, along with
frequent lightning and some ponding on roadways. See SVR Tstm Watch
274 for details. SVR threat will diminish earlier over inland
counties with drier air moving in and we will adjust as needed. Main
support for SVR from latest probabilistic and deterministic models
continues to be closer to the coast through approx 15/23z,
before the threat diminishes/pushes offshore as front slides to
and then just off the coast.

Models look drier tomorrow in post frontal regime, with precipitable
water values dropping to 75-100% of normal compared to ~1.5x normal
today esp. near coast. bulk of guidance is showing limited QPF along
the sea breeze, and have capped POPs to slight chance as a result.
Temps tomorrow look near to slightly below normal for most in the
mid to upper 80s, but dewpoints will be several degrees lower so it
should feel notably drier. Dry for Wednesday night with lows in the
lower to mid 60s, which is a few degrees below normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Upper trough axis will make its way off the eastern seaboard
Thursday. A deep layer of dry air will prevail over the area through
Friday night, as the trough exits and low amplitude ridging
traverses the Carolinas. No PoPs anticipated this period. High temps
near climo (mid-upper 80s) on Friday, warming to upper 80s/low 90s
Friday in response to ridging aloft. Lows Thursday night will range
from the low 60s inland to mid/upper 60s coast as unseasonably low
dewpoints hold on another night. Friday night, lows will only dip to
around 70 as dewpoints recover.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will re-enter the
forecast Saturday night and Sunday as moisture begins to increase.
Models are projecting a Gulf low to move into SE Texas and Louisiana
Saturday-Sunday, with a slug of moisture drawn across the forecast
area early next week as the wave opens up and lifts northeast. This
will lead to increasing areal coverage of showers/storms Monday and
Tuesday.

Deep westerlies on Saturday should keep the sea breeze pinned close
to the coast, and with insolation, should see temps reach in the low-
mid 90s. The increase in clouds and added potential for
showers/storms Sunday-Tuesday will keep max temps down in the upper
80s to around 90...close to normal for mid June.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Strong storms are expected to develop by mid afternoon, mainly
at the coastal terminals. DCAPE is quite high, so expect strong
winds as the storms move in. ILM stands the best chance for a
strong storm. Most of the activity will exit the coast by 23Z.
Post frontal winds will shift to the northwest. Continued
northerly flow on Tuesday.

Extended Outlook...Mainly VFR with brief bout of MVFR/IFR from
isolated tstorms across all terminals Tue and Wed. Drying trend
expected through end of the week with only isolated convection.

&&

.MARINE...
Through Wednesday Night: An approaching cold front will lead to
increasing but sub SCA SW/S winds and associated short period
seas through early this evening. In addition, a few strong to
severe thunderstorms are possible through early this evening.
See SVR tstm watch 274 for details. Front will push offshore
tonight leading to a period of light NW to N then NE winds into
early Wed. Speeds should be below 15kt given weak post frontal
high building in, which means a sea breeze will develop near the
coast tomorrow afternoon. Seas tomorrow should be mostly 2 to 3
ft in minor ESE swell and local wind waves...fading further
tomorrow night as modest land breeze to Nly flow redevelops.
Mostly dry tomorrow/tomorrow night.

Thursday through Sunday: Surface low a few hundred miles off
the NC coast will lift to the NE through the period. Light
northerly winds are expected early Thursday, but with a weak
pressure gradient left in its wake, there will be variability in
the wind direction later Thursday into Friday. Synoptic flow
should become SE by Friday afternoon, shifting to the SW
Saturday in response to a developing Piedmont trough, along with
Bermuda high pressure. A strengthening gradient will push winds
to 15 kts Saturday, and potentially 15-20 kts Sunday. No
significant chance of precip Thursday-Friday, then widely
scattered showers- thunderstorms will be possible Saturday-
Sunday.
