Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
445 PM EST Sun Jan 2 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front and low pressure area will impact the
region tonight and Monday. Cold high pressure will build over
the area early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 430 PM Sun...
Small convective complex carrying moderate showers near Cape
Lookout will be moving over the Core Banks and out to sea over
the next hour or two. Otherwise some light shower activity back
to the west will continue to linger over the area before
attention focuses to the southwest.
A deep upper trough will dig through the Deep South tonight,
developing both a surface low pressure system as well as an upper
low which will help drive the system into the Carolinas by Monday
morning as the upper trough begins to become negatively tilted. The
biggest variable with this system is the eventual track of the low
with the 12z NAM bringing the low across our southern counties and
then over Hatteras Island before exiting out to sea. The GFS
solution however is further north and west introducing some
uncertainty to the forecast. The upshot of this is that in
either scenario there is a decent severe threat and thus, SPC
has the area in a slight risk for severe wx on Monday. A more
northwesterly solution could really push some of the best
moisture to the northwest which would certainly decrease storm
total QPF, particularly across southern areas of the CWA.
Western counties will still have the best chance at seeing some
of the heaviest rainfall with this system.
As far as the severe threat goes overnight into Monday morning, the
southern counties, Crystal Coast, Downeast NC, and Outer Banks south
of Oregon Inlet are the most likely to see severe weather as
the surface low passes by during the morning hours. Instability
and helicity increase significantly right along the coast
therefore damaging winds and isolated tornados and waterspouts
will be possible with the bulk of this threat closer to sunrise
on Monday.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
As of 400 PM Monday...Strong low pressure will be positioned
over the FA by daybreak with aforementioned heavy rain and
severe potential continuing through the morning hours. Locations
north of the low track and associated warm front will continue
receiving the heaviest rainfall while points south of the front
in the warm sector may continue seeing the potential for severe
weather throughout the morning. Come mid to late morning, the
low will begin to move offshore, bringing along a sweeping cold
front through the region that will shut off our severe weather
risks behind it, though stratiform rain will persist across the
CWA through the early afternoon hours before precip begins to
end late aftn/evening. Gusty Nrly flow behind the front will
usher in strong CAA. Have upgraded Wind Advisory to High Wind
Warning for the Outer Banks with Wind Advisories for mainland
Dare and Tyrrell as well as Carteret Counties.
A non- diurnal temp curve can be expected with high temps
occuring in the morning before crashing with the onset of strong
CAA behind the front. Crystal Coast areas tucked into the warm
sector in the morning can expect an AM high in the low 60s while
the northern half of the FA will only be in the mid 40s to low
50s. By the afternoon, inland locations will drop into the upper
30s to low 40s and continue to crater into the nighttime hours
with lows expected to be in the mid to upper 20s inland with mid
to upper 30s along the coast.
Sightings of some mixed precip cannot be ruled out for the
extreme northern tier counties as temps drop during the
afternoon, but any notable impacts remain unlikely at this time.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 4 AM Sun...Strong low pressure system moves offshore in
the afternoon. Another cold front approaches the region by the
end of the work week.
Tuesday through Saturday...High pressure builds into the area
Tuesday with a significantly colder airmass building into the
area with temps finally falling below normal. Highs on Tuesday
have dropped a few degrees with mid 40s to around 50 inland and
mid to upper 50s along the coast. The high moves off the Mid-
Atlantic coast as a coastal trough begins to push ashore, which
could bring a few showers across eastern portions of the FA
Wednesday. Temps continue to moderate with highs around the
upper 50s to mid 60s. Another trough drips across the Midwest on
Thu, advancing a cold front closer to the East Coast that will
arrive Thu night into Friday for another chance for a few
showers. High pressure builds back in for Saturday.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Monday AM/...
As of 100 PM Sunday...VFR conditions across the area this
afternoon as ceilings have lifted and precipitation has become
patchy at best. Winds have also relaxed to southwesterly at 5-10
kts with the occasional gust to 15 kts. As evening approaches
precipitation coverage will start to increase from the southwest
and rain will become more prevalent overnight as a low pressure
system approaches the area. This will bring visibilities down
to MVFR and ceilings will follow with some IFR cigs possible
during the overnight hours. As we approach daybreak on Monday
Morning, chances for thunder will increase as will gusty winds.
KISO, KOAJ, and KEWN will be the most likely to experience
thunder with possible severe gusts. Pockets of low level wind
shear will also be a possibility mainly with convection.
LONG TERM /Monday through Thursday/...
As of 430 AM Sun...The potential for heavy rain and stronger
storms will continue Monday morning, with higher confidence IFR
to LIFR ceilings as the low passes nearby/overhead. High
pressure builds into the area Monday afternoon/evening with
gusty Nrly winds. High pressure settles overhead Tuesday for a
quiet day before moving offshore Wednesday to be replaced by
another high on Thursday.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 4 PM Sun...Winds have diminished this afternoon to 15-20
kts gusting 20-25 and will continue to 10-15 kt, before ramping
up again early Mon morning. Cold front will push into the
waters tonight and early Monday with strong low pressure moving
along it. Expect conditions to deteriorate rapidly Monday
morning.
LONG TERM /Monday through Thursday/...
As of 440 PM Sun...Nrly winds surge behind the front Monday,
bringing solid gales and storm force winds to coastal waters
from the northern OBX through Cape Lookout including the Pamlico
Sound. Strong gales are also expected for the southern waters as
well as the inland rivers and Ablemarle Sound. Current Marine
Wind Warnings reflect this with timing through 3z on Tuesday.
Treacherous seas are expected Monday, building to 10-14 ft
across the central and northern waters with 7-9 ft across the
southern waters. High pressure moves overhead Tuesday, allowing
howling winds to rapidly calm to 10 kts and dangerous seas to
drop to 3-5 ft with marine conditions continuing to improve into
Wednesday. Weak coastal disturbance will bring some rain
chances across the waters Wed and inc Srly flow to 10-15 kts
before high pressure returns Thursday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 4 AM Sun...Very minor water level rises in low lying
areas possible for soundside Outer Banks north of Cape Hatteras
today with strong SW winds. Strong northerly winds will develop
behind a cold front Monday, which will likely lead to a better
chance for minor to locally moderate coastal flooding (1-3 ft
agl) along soundside Outer Banks and downeast Carteret county.
Rough surf expected, with minor ocean overwash possible, from
Duck to Cape Hatteras. Will issue Coastal Flood Advisories for
the Outer Banks and eastern Carteret Monday morning into Tue
morning. High Surf Advisory north of Cape Hatteras Mon into Mon
night.
