Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
1000 PM EST Thu Dec 23 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure slides to our south Friday through the holiday
weekend. A cold front with limited moisture will pass through
the region Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 955 PM Thu...No changes to the prev disc.

Prev disc...Strong subsidence aloft is aiding in a paucity of
clouds across much of the area, and expect mainly clear
conditions to persist overnight. A few mid and high clouds could
overspread northern zones late tonight, spilling off of a quick
moving mid- level disturbance traversing the northeast CONUS.

As usual, guidance struggles to correctly forecast low temps in
radiational cooling regimes and maintained previous forecast
below model consensus. Main change was to further lower the
forecast over OBX where calm conditions are probable over more
sheltered portions. Would not be surprised to see Roanoke Island
make a run for the upper 20s given current Tds. Return flow will
nudge temperatures back up overnight along the coast as the high
retreats.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
As of 310 PM Thu...High pressure continues to drift offshore
while weak ridging builds aloft. Across the Canadian Plains,
strong sub-990 mb low pressure is forecast to drag a cold front
across the Upper Midwest. Although the front is expected to
stall over the MS valley, the resultant pressure gradient
between it and the surface high will result in increased
southwesterly flow across the Carolinas with gusty conditions
across the coastal plain. Steady WWA at low levels will promote
increasing thicknesses and temperatures are expected to
moderate quickly into the upper 50s to low 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 AM Thu...Mild/dry weather with above normal highs are
expected from Fri into mid next week including the Christmas
Holiday weekend. The latest model runs do not offer any drought
relief as they do not indicate any significant precipitation
across eastern NC from late this week through mid next week.

Friday night through Wednesday... A weak cold front with
limited moisture should cross the area Sunday. we are not
expecting any precipitation with this system. High pressure
builds in behind the front for the remainder of the weekend into
early next week. A warm front could lift north through the area
Tue again with very limited moisture. Highs around 60 Fri then
the period of the weekend into mid next week should feature very
mild weather for late December with above normal temps each day
with highs at least in the 60s and perhaps low 70s inland
Sunday into mid next week.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Friday Afternoon/...
As of 7 PM Thu...VFR conditions expected through the TAF
period. Cool high pressure overhead will keep skies clear and
winds calm overnight. Strong radiational cooling is expected
tonight, but fog development will likely be limited due to a
very dry airmass across the region. Crossover temps observed
today will be a few degrees colder than our expected low temps
tonight, thus insufficient moisture is in place for any notable
fog development. Some iso patches of shallow steam fog can't be
ruled out, but impacts to terminals are not expected. VFR
conditions expected to persist through Friday with high pressure
shifting just south of the region. Winds will inc from the SW in
the afternoon, gusting to around 10-15 kts.

LONG TERM /Friday night through Monday/...
As of 230 AM Thu...Dry high pressure prevails through early
next week with mainly VFR conditions expected through Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /Through Friday/...
As of 705 PM Thu...Northeasterly flow of 10-15 kt continues
over all waters this afternoon as high pressure sits just
inland. All SCA now down with seas across the central waters
reporting below 6ft.

Winds will continue to calm overnight as the high crests over
the waters and eventually shifts to the southeast by Friday
morning. Flow veers southwesterly but begins to increase through
Friday as a cold front associated with strong low pressure in
Canada encroaches into the central CONUS. Despite the distance
of the front, the pressure gradient will tighten enough that
winds will increase to 15-20 kt by Fri night over coastal
waters, 10-15 kt over the sounds.

Seas will be able to drop to 2-4 feet by Friday morning as the
high moves overhead, but will build back to 3-5 feet by Fri eve
in SW flow.

LONG TERM /Friday through Monday/...
325 PM update...Gale Watches have been hoisted for the waters
south of Oregon Inlet given consistent signal in model guidance.
SCA conditions are likely to begin as early as Fri night.

Prev disc...Strong southwest to west winds are expected Fri
night through Sunday as a dry cold front crosses the waters.
High pressure will linger over the waters through early Fri with
SW winds 10-15 kt increasing to 15-20 kt in the afternoon. The
gradient tightens Fri night into Sat night ahead of an
approaching cold front resulting in winds increasing to 20-30 kt
with low end Gales possible south of Oregon Inlet late Fri
night into Sat night. The flow will become west and diminish to
15-25 kt Sunday morning, then become NW behind the front and
diminish to 15-20 kt. S/SW flow 10-15 kt is expected to develop
on Mon.

2-4 ft seas early Fri will build to 3-5 ft in the afternoon.
Seas build to 5-9 ft Fri night and will continue through Sat
night. On Sunday seas will  will then subside to 2-4 ft Thu
night into early Fri, building to 3-5 ft late Fri. Seas will
build to 5-9 ft Fri night into Sat and remain elevated AOA 6 ft
into Sunday. Seas are then forecast to subside to 3-5 ft Mon.
