Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
739 PM EDT Wed Oct 26 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
Warm day today, followed by a cold frontal passage tonight
bringing temperatures back down near normal. Modest to strong
high pressure will then fill back in over the region through the
remainder of the week. Unsettled weather will affect the area
into early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Warm southwesterly flow will continue ahead of a cold front along
with decent amount of mid level moisture through this evening. Weak
returns on radar may produce a few drops across the area, but
overall the front will move through with mainly some clouds and a
wind shift. Expect clouds to thin through this evening with wind
shift later this evening into early overnight hours as the cold
front passes through. Winds will shift around to the W-NW behind
front and then will continue to veer to the N-NE through Thurs.
Soundings show moisture stuck beneath inversion about 3 to 5k ft
through thurs aftn. Otherwise very dry air mass with pcp water
values dropping from 1.4 this evening down less than an inch by
Thurs.
Included a brief period of patchy fog, but winds will kick up and
moisture will drop as front moves through limiting any further fog
development. Low temperatures tonight will drop quickly into the low
to mid 50s by morning and will be a good 5 degrees cooler for highs
on Thurs. Temps may end up being even cooler if clouds remain thick
enough through Thurs.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will ridge into the area through the period
resulting in generally fair weather with breezy conditions.
Lows each night will generally run 50 to 55 with highs Friday in
the upper 60s to lower 70s.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Low pressure off the southeast coast and another low over the
Gulf Coast could affect the area during the first 3 days of the
period while high pressure continues to ridge into the area
from the north. Ultimately, the Gulf Coast low will move off
the U.S east coast by Tuesday with high pressure to follow for
the remainder of the forecast period.
The result will be unsettled weather Saturday through Monday
with potential for a some light rain, especially Sunday into
Monday. Rainfall amounts, if any, are expected to be light attm
but clouds could be abundant. Conditions will improve for
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Temperatures through the period will generally be within a few
degrees of seasonal normals Saturday and Sunday before trending
upward a little for the remainder of the period, particularly
during daylight hours.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Scattered mid clouds around 4-6 kft currently across the area
ahead of an approaching cold front near the I-95 corridor. May
see a stray light shower or two along the front in SE NC
through midnight. Patchy fog remains possible ahead of the front
for coastal areas before northerly winds pick up behind the
front, but confidence too low for TAF inclusion. Gusty north
winds develop overnight, remaining around 10kts with gusts to
15-20 kts tomorrow from the NNE. Low level moisture is expected
to become trapped below a subsidence inversion tomorrow mainly
closer to the coast, with best chance for MVFR ceilings around
2kft at ILM early tomorrow until possibly midday.
Extended Outlook...Mainly VFR expected through the period.
Moisture will increase from the south by Sunday with possible
MVFR ceilings.
&&
.MARINE...
Through Thursday:
Southwest winds will remain around 5 kts or so ahead of cold
front into this evening, but will shift around to the NW to N
behind front overnight and will continue to veer to the N-NE
through Thurs. Winds will increase and become gusty with CAA and
tightening of gradient as high builds down from the Great
Lakes. A Small Craft Advisory has been issued starting Thurs
afternoon as winds and seas increase. Seas 2 to 3 ft to start
will increase up to 3 to 5 ft through Thurs aftn, increasing
further into late Thurs with mainly shorter period wind waves.
Winds will increase out of the N-NE up to 20 kts with gusts up
to 25 kts through Thurs aftn.
Thursday night Through Monday:
We look to be in a prolonged period of potential small craft
conditions as high pressure ridges in from the north. A surface
low off the southeast coast may enhance the gradient into
Saturday before conditions slowly improve Sunday into Monday.
Expect NE winds of 15 to 20 KT, perhaps 25 KT at times, Thursday
night into Sunday before winds diminish to 5 to 10 KT by Sunday
evening. Speeds of this nature will continue into Monday as
directions veer to the SW. Seas will run 4 to 6 FT Thu night
into Sun before subsiding to 2 to 4 FT for Monday.
