Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
436 AM EDT Thu Apr 15 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move through the area this morning. High
pressure will build into the area through Saturday. A weak area
of low pressure will lift towards the southeast coast Saturday
night and Sunday. High pressure will build over the area early
next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 445 AM Thursday...Low pressure center is just pushing
offshore of the NC/VA border. Weak cold front slowly being
dragged by the low entering the CWA presently. Scattered light
rain showers will linger until the main front finally crosses
the area later today. Weak low pressure begins to form along the
slow moving front by the afternoon. Best chance for light
precip this afternoon into the evening lies along the coast
where storms could develop along a low pressure disturbance
forming along the frontal boundary.

Highs in the low 70s and upper 60s along the OBX with cloud
coverage and the CAA developing late preventing any decent warm
up.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
Skies clear with high pressure building in and a reinforcing
surge of cool dry air behind the front setting up for decent
cooling allowing overnight lows to reach the mid 40s inland,
upper 40s to low 50s along the coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 245 AM Thu...A cold front will stall well south of the
area Friday then lift closer to Eastern NC by the weekend, with
a weak area of low pressure passing just off the coast along the
boundary Saturday night and Sunday. Near to slightly below
average temperatures expected through the period.

Friday into Saturday...The closed upper low deepens further as
it moves east into the Northeast U.S. and eventually off the New
England coast. The surface low becomes vertically stacked with
the upper low during this period, well north of the area, while
high pressure builds in from the west across Eastern NC. Mostly
dry conditions expected through Friday night. On Saturday, the
front that was stalled well south of the area will lift north
closer the region, and have will continue to show sc/low chance
of showers developing across the southern 2/3 of the area Sat
afternoon and evening. Did increase pops a bit Saturday night
and Sunday morning as moisture increases in response to low
strengthening to the south. Slightly below normal temps expected
with highs in the low 60s for the Outer Banks, and mid to upper
60s inland.

Sunday into Wednesday...00z guidance in fairly good agreement
with weak sfc low strengthening off the coast Sunday morning,
then quickly pushing ENE into Sunday night...with additional
waves of low pressure possibly developing along the same stalled
front to the south through mid next week. Will continue with
persistence for Sun into Mon, keeping slight chance PoPs closer
to the coast. High pressure is forecast to build into the area
early next week, with another front and weak coastal low
development late Tue night and Wed. Will keep sc pops, mainly
along the coast. High pressure is then forecast to build over
the area through late week. Cooler temps to start, then
gradually moderating through Wed, warming into the upper 60s and
mid/upper 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Short Term /through 06Z Friday/...
As of 145 AM Thursday...VFR cats for most of the TAF period. The
most vigorous storm activity is N and E of regional TAF sites.
Low lifting NE overnight and its associated cold front swings
through the area. Scattered showers are possible but spotty
coverage only dictated vicinity showers for this time period.
Guidance have agreed more on CIGs lowering with the showers so
