Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
701 PM EDT Thu Jun 3 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Unsettled weather will continue through Friday as a cold front
approaches and gradually dissipates. High pressure builds
closer to the area this weekend, with drying conditions likely.
High pressure continues offshore next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 700 PM Thurs...Very wet weather is expected through
Friday across Eastern NC. Some locations have already received
2-4" of rain since Tuesday with 1-2" common west of Highway 17
and north of Highway 70. Already high PW values are forecast to
increase to above 2" overnight into Friday. As the upper trough
approaches and increases upper level divergence, lift will be
maximized over the area tonight through Friday. Currently
widespread showers with embedded areas of thunderstorms are
occurring across the region and will persist through the evening
hours. As lift becomes maximized after midnight, more
widespread heavy showers and thunderstorms will develop. The
heaviest rainfall axis initially will be inland /west of Highway
17/ then spread east after 7Z to coastal areas. 2-4" of
additional rainfall with locally heavier amounts will be
possible with this activity and could lead to flooding in poor
drainage areas. Thus, the Flash Flood Watch has been extended
to cover all of Eastern NC except for Hatteras and Ocracoke
Islands. The Friday morning commute will be affected with poor
visibilities and deep ponding on area roads due to the heavy
rains making for hazardous driving conditions. Muggy lows mostly
70 to 75.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
As of 700 PM Thu...Numerous shra and a few tsra with torrential
downpours ahead of weakening cold front will grad push off the
coast by late Fri morning. Additional shra and tsra expected to
redevelop during the day with weak upr trf to the W and building
instab. Will have likely pops inland to chc cst in the aftn and
if get enuf instab will have threat for some stronger to
marginally svr storms. Highs again mostly lower 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 545 AM Thursday...

Weekend...The upper level trough remains over the area before
finally pushing offshore late Sunday, fueling chances for
overnight showers/stray tstorms to start the weekend. Kept PoPs
at slight/chance over the coast in the mornings and working
inland as the days progress. Typical for early summer, tstorms
possible as instability increases through the day.

Early Next Week...Upper level low breaks off the trough as it
slides offshore. Ridging builds in from over the Gulf states
north to Michigan with another Low centered over Texas. This
L-H-L sandwich pattern remains for most of the week and keeps
upper flow meridional. Elongated High at the SFC provides Serly
flow through the period keeping things warm a moist with
dewpoints in the 70s and highs in the mid to upper 80s.
