Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
143 PM EDT Thu Jul 29 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Offshore high pressure will continue through tonight. A weak
cold front will approach Friday, lingering over the area through
the weekend. A much more active period emerges early to mid
next week as several waves of low pressure traverse the area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 115 PM Thurs...Sunny and warm conditions will continue
this afternoon due to some slight subsidence between upper level
shortwaves, and infusion of much drier air into the mid and
lower levels of the atmosphere. Temperatures have been slower to
recover from rain cooled temps this morning, and currently sit
in the mid to upper 80s. Still, expect highs to reach the upper
80s to low 90s with full sun expected through the afternoon.
With dewpoints mostly in the low 70s inland, and mid 70s along
the coast, heat indices will likely reach 100-105 later this
afternoon during peak heating.

Mostly quiet weather will continue tonight though southerly flow
will increase this evening ahead of a slow moving cold front. A
slight breeze is expected to persist inland overnight which will
limit cooling to the mid to upper 70s, while a decent wind
closer to the coast will keep temps very warm in the upper 70s
to low 80s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/...
As of 120 PM Thurs...Ahead of a slow moving cold front tomorrow,
low level heights will peak, and we will likely see our hottest
day of the year so far. Heating will get a head start thanks to
very warm lows tomorrow morning, which should allow for temps to
heat into the upper 80s by late morning. The temp forecast
thereafter remains tricky with a likely area of convective
initiation across the coastal plain and eastward towards the
Albemarle Sound, while a strong sea breeze will be mostly pinned
along the coast, but will make some inland advancement through
the afternoon. In between these features temps will warm into
the mid to upper 90s, with dewpoints remaining in the low to
possibly mid 70s. This will lead to a period of heat indices
105-110 for the coastal plain south of US 70, and for portions
of the Inner Banks over to the Northern Outer Banks. A heat
advisory will likely need to be issued for these counties at
least. Farther north along the coastal plain thunderstorm
development should limit high temps from climbing past the mid
90s, and limit the duration of heat indices over 105. Along and
behind the sea breeze temps will remain cooler, however
dewpoints approaching 80 will result in heat indices right
around105.

The area is also under a risk for isolated severe thunderstorms
tomorrow afternoon, and SPC has highlighted a marginal risk over
ENC. As moisture advection increases tomorrow, and temps climb
into the 90s, moderate to strong instability will develop in the
afternoon as wind shear increases to 30-40 kts. This will lead
to the potential for damaging wind gusts, and some large hail.
Some isolated areas of flooding are also possible if the
coverage of storms is sufficient, as PWATs remain above 1.75".

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 330 AM Thu...Hot weather and the potential for severe
thunderstorms highlight Friday, with a very active pattern
emerging over the weekend and continuing at least into the
middle of next week.

Friday Night through Sunday...Convective activity will push
off the south coast Friday night as the surface front is now
expected to push across most or all of the area by sunrise
Saturday. However, heights aloft will begin to fall as troughing
digs across the Ohio Valley toward the southern Appalachians,
and the first in what will be several waves of low pressure will
develop over the Southeast along the stalled boundary. This
wave will bring the next round of storms Sunday as the boundary
slides back over the area, where it will remain for the better
part of next week. Developing deep layer moisture transport on
the east side of the unseasonably high- amplitude trough will
bring the potential for heavy rainfall, with the severe threat
dependent on the timing and strength of the wave as it crosses
the area Sunday.

Monday through mid-week...Unsettled weather continues early to
middle of next week as the surface boundary remains stalled
over/near the area with a relatively high amplitude upper trough
over the southern Appalachians. The second significant wave
traversing the boundary looks to impact the area late Monday
into Tuesday, but timing is uncertain at this point. Overall,
expect a wet period with persistent deep moisture advection
brining flooding rainfall concerns, and periods of severe
weather concerns possible as well. Temps will be near to below
normal owing to cloud cover and periods of rainfall.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM /Through Tomorrow Afternoon/...
As of 140 PM Thurs...VFR conditions are expected through the TAF
period as quiet weather continues ahead of a cold front. Just a
few clouds are expected through mid morning tomorrow as much
drier air remains in the low to mid levels. Thereafter, the
atmosphere will moisten ahead of a cold front and clouds, and
eventually scattered thunderstorms will develop across the
airspace, however most of the activity will occur after 2 pm
tomorrow.

LONG TERM /Friday through Tuesday/...
As of 4 AM Thu...VFR prevails through midday Friday, with
increasing convective activity later in the day bringing the
potential for at least temporary flight restrictions. A much
more active period will emerge later Saturday through the middle
of next week, with periods of heavy rainfall and erratic winds
in and around thunderstorms being the primary concerns.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /Today and tonight/...
As of 625 AM Thu...Fcst on track with no changes planned.

Prev disc...Light winds early become SSW and increase 10 to 15
kt S and 15 to 20 kts N this aftn. Winds increase a bit more
tonight ahead of approaching cold front with speeds 15 to 25 kts
late, highest cstl wtrs. Will begin a SCA for the central and
srn wtrs prior to daybreak as gusts reach 25 kts. Seas 2 to 3
feet today build to 3 to 4 feet tonight and could see some 5
footers outer central wtrs late.

LONG TERM /Friday through Tuesday/...
As of 4 AM Thu...Breezy SW winds and 3-6 ft seas continue ahead
of an approaching cold front Friday, with SCAs remaining in
effect for the coastal waters S of Oregon Inlet into the
evening. Strong storms are possible over the waters later
Friday, with frequent lightning and strong/erratic winds the
primary concerns. Light to moderate NE flow prevails behind the
front Sat, with seas around 3 ft bringing seasonable marine
conditions. However, the front will move back over the waters
later Saturday, with several waves of low pressure moving along
the front for the second half of the weekend through early next
week. Generally moderate NE winds N of the front, with moderate
SE to SW winds S of the front, with periods of breezy
conditions when the low pressure waves are over/near the area
Sunday and again Monday night. Unsettled conditions early next
week, with periods of increased storm activity with high
lightning activity and erratic/gusty winds possible.
