Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
742 PM EDT Wed Sep 21 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure weakens and exits the area this evening out ahead
of an approaching cold front. This cold front will track across
the region Thursday evening bringing a threat for showers and
thunderstorms to the area. Cool fall like weather is then
expected for Friday into the weekend behind this frontal passage
with the possibility of another frontal passage early next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
As of 705 PM Wed...Quiet forecast continues tonight with no
changes to the prev discussion.

Prev disc...High pressure remains overhead the Mid- Atlantic
this afternoon and continues to bring a dry and stable airmass
to the region. Mostly clear skies with the exception of a small
cumulus field along the seabreeze is noted on satellite as highs
have gotten into the upper 80s to low 90s across the entire
CWA. High pressure will weaken this evening as it pushes
offshore overnight out ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds
have already turned to a southerly direction and will remain
southerly through the night. Dry forecast continues with overall
favorable radiational cooling conditions bringing lows into the
60s for most. Patchy shallow fog is once again possible, but
coverage is expected to be limited compared to the past several
nights given the continued southerly breeze and weaker
inversion.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
As of 410 PM Wed... Cold front tracks across the Piedmont
Thursday morning and will then progress SE'wards Thursday
evening across the Coastal Plain. With this in mind, much of our
day will be dry out ahead of the cold front. However, as we get
into the afternoon and evening things will begin to change.
Ahead of this front, there appears to be enough upper level
support for sct shower and thunderstorm development late in the
afternoon. This activity is forecast to start out to the
northwest of the FA and spread SE'wards into the CWA late in the
afternoon with shower and thunderstorm activity pushing off the
coast early Thursday evening. There may be a severe threat with
this system, as shear is fcst b/t 25-35kt, with ML CAPE values
between 500-1500 J/KG. Storm mode will be mainly linear, and
with the relatively low instability vals, expecting mainly an
iso damaging wind threat with a bkn line of showers/storms that
quickly move through during the dinner time time period for
most. Afternoon temps will approach and potentially break record
highs Thursday, as highs soar into the lower 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 4 PM Wed...The extended period across eastern North
Carolina will be punctuated by a strong cold front, forecast to
cross Thursday evening bringing our only appreciable chance of
showers/storms for the week. A return to more fall- like weather
is expected after the fropa.

Thursday night... Front quickly clears before midnight and
strong CAA ensues, with brisk nrly winds bringing sharply
falling temps, dewpoints towards sunrise. Lows should be in the
mid 50s north to near 60 south by daybreak.

Friday through Sunday...Behind the front, a considerably cooler
and drier airmass advects into the area with dew points
dropping well into the 40s. Highs on Fri will be in the low/mid
70s. Chilly fall weather expected Fri night with near record
lows possible, with temps as low as the mid 40s interior, with
50s on the immediate coast/beaches/OBX. Temps moderate on the
weekend with return swrly flow, though still should remain below
climo with below avg heights expected.

Monday through Tuesday...Next system may make its way into ENC
by early week, though timing and depth of this next trough still
in question, and attm have 20-30% shower mention as early as
late Sun night/Mon morning. Temps look to be near climo by the
beginning of the work week.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Thursday/...
As of 720 PM Wed...High pressure remains in control tonight
with prevailing VFR conditions through late Thu morning. Some
patchy fog is possible overnight with clear skies overhead, but
impacts are expected to be limited at the moment due to a Srly
flow ahead of an approaching cold front. For now, have kept fog
out of TAFs since winds are not expected to decouple. VFR
conditions tomorrow through late morning before sct showers and
storms arrive mid to late aftn as the cold front pushes through
the region. Will likely need to add VCTS to TAFs as we get
closer to the impacted period mid to late aftn. Any storms that
do impact terminals would likely drop to sub-VFR.

LONG TERM /Thursday night through Sunday/...
As of 430 AM Wed...Sct showers and thunderstorms are possible
ahead of a strong front on late Thursday afternoon/early
evening with much drier and breezier conditions on Friday as the
front pushes offshore. Dry VFR on the weekend with dry high pres
overhead.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Thursday/...
As of 410 PM Wednesday... Current observations show widespread
5-10 kt E to NE'rly winds and 2-3 ft seas his afternoon. As high
pressure weakens and shifts to the east, winds will turn
overnight first to a SE and then a S-SW'rly direction at 5-10
knots. Seas will begin to gradually build to 3-5 ft as SE'rly
swell from distant hurricane Fiona begins to encroach on the
coastal waters. Marine conditions then begin to deteriorate
Thursday morning as a cold front begins to approach from the
west tightening the pressure gradient allowing winds to increase
slightly to 10-15 knots. Front is forcast to begin to track
across our northern most waters by late Thursday afternoon
quickly shifting winds behind it to a N'rly direction at 10-20
kts initially and then increasing further overnight Thursday.
Showers and thunderstorms will also accompany this frontal
passage. Seas will build Thursday afternoon and evening to 5-9
ft as swell from Fiona reaches our offshore waters. Seas
increase the quickest between the Capes. Gale warnings have now
been issued across all waters except the Pamlico and Neuse
Rivers given the expectation of wind gusts in excess of 35 knots
Thursday evening. In addition to this, high surf advisory has
also been issued along all coastal waters with the expectation
of widespread 8+ ft seas Thursday night into Friday.

LONG TERM /Thursday night through Sunday/...
As of 430 AM Wed... Winds from the SW 10-20 kts Thu shift to
the N Friday and surge upwards of 25-35 kts with gusts to 40 kt
with seas jumping to 6-12 ft, with hurricane Fiona swell peaking
Thu night to Fri morning. A period of gales Thur night into
early Fri morning, thus have issued a gale watch for all coastal
waters and sounds including Alligator River.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
SE'rly swells from distant hurricane Fiona will begin to
encroach upon our coastal waters Thursday morning with these
swells forecast to persist into Saturday morning. The peak of
this swell activity is forecast to impact all of our beaches
late Thursday night into Friday night with sea heights getting
up to 6-11 feet during this timeframe along our immediate coast.
This has resulted in widespread high surf advisories from Cape
Lookout north to the Northern Outer Banks with the southeasterly
beaches between Cape Lookout to Cape Hatteras seeing the
highest surf.

This will also bring a threat for some minor coastal
flooding primarily along the oceanside beaches between Cape
Lookout and Cape Hatteras. Coastal erosion, ocean overwash, and
minor inundation primarily along the oceanside beaches from
Lookout to Hatteras will be possible. This includes all ocean
side beaches along the Core Banks, Ocracoke, Rodanthe, Avon, and
Hatteras starting Thursday evening with the threat ending
Friday night. Strong rip currents will also be likely starting
on Thursday and with these strong rip currents persisting into
the weekend given the powerful SE swell impacting the beaches.
