Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
228 PM EDT Mon Apr 18 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A complex low pressure system will move through Eastern NC this
afternoon and evening, lifting off the Mid-Atlantic coast
tonight. High pressure builds back over the area Tuesday and
will persist over the region through late week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 230 PM Mon...Deepening low pressure system will track
through the area this afternoon, then lift north of the area
this eve and tonight. Active wx continues through this eve with
several concerns.

Widespread light to moderate rain with iso embedded thunderstorms
ongoing this afternoon. With PWats approaching 1.75", moderate
to heavy rain may result in minor localized flooding with storm
total QPF amts 1-2" with locally higher amts. Highest amts
likely east of the low track, predominantly along HWY 17. SPC
continues to outlook the immediate coast in a Marginal Risk for
severe wx. Weak, mostly elevated, instability may develop this
afternoon in the warm sector and combined with the favorable
deep layer shear may support organized convection for a few
hours during afternoon and early eve. Veering low level
kinematics continue to yield some impressive helicity values
300-500 m2/s2 along the immediate coast. Best chances for strong
to severe storms through 8 PM east of Hwy 17, with potential
for an isolated tornado and/or damaging winds. The strongest
convection will likely occur offshore near the Gulfstream, but
cannot rule out rotating supercells near the immediate coast.

Strong E/SE winds will continue along the coast, with gusts
45-50 mph for NOBX, Hatteras/Ocracoke Islands, and Eastern
Carteret. Wind Advisory in effect for these areas.

Coastal flooding and high surf remains another concern, for
more info see Tides/CF section below.

The low will quickly lift northward along the Mid-Atlantic coast
overnight. Precip will taper off from SW to NE late this
afternoon and evening. Skies rapidly clear with CAA ensuing on
the cool side of the low late tonight allowing lows to fall into
the low 40s inland, upper 40s to low 50s for the beaches.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
As of 230 PM Mon...Upper trough will continue to dig through
the eastern US with high pressure building in from west. This
should result in a fairly pleasant spring day with gusty WNW
winds. Low level thickness values support temps below climo with
highs in low to mid 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 310 AM Monday...High pressure builds back over the area on
Tuesday with dry weather expected into the weekend.

Tuesday night through Monday...Upper trough will continue to
migrate east through New England states and into the North
Atlantic by Thursday, followed by broad ridging aloft building
across the Southeastern states Friday through the weekend. At
the surface, high pressure builds south from the Mid-Atlantic
states on Wednesday and off the coast by Thursday, then the
ridge axis shifts offshore of the Carolinas leading to a warming
trend through the extended period with no precipitation
expected. Temps warm into the 80s for inland locations by Friday
into the weekend, with 70s along the coast.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Tuesday/...
As of 230 PM Mon...Widespread sub-VFR cigs expected to persist
through the first part of tonight. Cigs may bounce between IFR
and MVFR but expect generally IFR through 2-4z, then improving
to MVFR, then VFR around or shortly after 06z with skies grad
clearing from west to east. Widespread rain and iso tstms this
afternoon will grad taper off from SW to NE late this afternoon
and evening. SE wind gusts 15-25 kt will diminish this afternoon
with flow becoming WNW. WNW winds will gust 20-25 kt late Tue
morn and afternoon.

LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 315 AM Sunday...VFR conditions expected through Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Tuesday/...
As of 230 PM Mon...Latest obs show E/S winds 20-30 kt gusting
to 25-35 kt, with seas 7-11 ft. Low pressure will strengthen
along the stalled front to the south, and will track just inland
this afternoon, lifting north toward the Mid-Atlantic coast
tonight. Strong E/SE 20-30 continue with gusts 35-45 kt. Seas
will peak at 7-14 ft this afternoon and early eve. Gales
continue for the Pamlico Sound and all coastal waters through
this eve. SCAs continue for the western rivers and northern
sounds/river, though could see occasional gusts to 35 kt,
particularly near the mouth of the rivers. Winds turn WNWerly
20-25 kt on the backside of the low overnight with seas falling
to 5-8 ft after midnight. SCA conditions will persist for the
coastal waters through Tuesday with a pinched NW pressure
gradient bringing northwesterly winds of 15-25 kt courtesy of
wedging high pressure. These winds will keep seas elevated at
4-6 feet for the outer portions of the coastal waters through at
least Tuesday afternoon.

LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Saturday/...
As of 315 AM Monday...Winds and seas subside below SCA levels
by Tuesday night as high pressure builds over the waters from
the west, with decent boating conditions expected through
Friday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 230 PM Monday...Minor water level rises, 1-2 ft above
ground level (agl), will continue for low lying areas adjacent
to the Crystal Coast, Neuse, Pamlico/Pungo Rivers and adjacent
waterways today with strong east/southeast winds. Continued
Coastal Flood Advisories for these locations. Rough surf
continues with minor beach erosion possible for the beaches
north of Cape Lookout. High Surf Advisory continues from Cape
Lookout to Duck. Minor water level rises will be possible for
soundside Hatteras Island this evening on the backside of the
low as the flow becomes westerly, which could result in rapid
water level rise, though will hold off on additional Coastal
Flood Advisory for the soundside OBX at this time.
