Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC
622 PM EDT Tue Oct 3 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure remains in control for much of the week. A strong
but mostly dry cold front will cross the area Saturday, with
high pressure building back in from the west late weekend and
early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
As of 620 PM Tue...Surface high pressure continues to build in
from the north and west, with a weak coastal trough offshore. N
to NE winds persist between these two features, with sct to
broken diurnal cu field now beginning to dissipate now that
heating is waning. Additionally there could be some minor haze
as smoke from Canadian wildfires advects down the eastern
seaboard. Dry conditions continue tonight, with shower activity
focused and expected to remain well offshore. Mainly clear
skies and light winds inland will make for efficient radiational
cooling after sunset, with lows again in the low to mid 50s
away from the beaches. Very shallow fog is possible late near
moisture sources such as ponds and swamps, but minimal fog
impacts are expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
As of 220 PM Tue...Similar pattern continues for Wed with
strong high pressure overhead and weak coastal troughing
offshore. Should be another dry day with temps near or slightly
above climo.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 4 AM Tue...Mainly dry weather continues through much of
the coming week as high pressure to the north and west remains
in control. A weak coastal trough could bring light rain
chances Friday, and then another chance for light showers on
Saturday with a strong cold frontal passage, then much cooler
and drier for the latter half of the weekend into early next
week.

Thursday through Friday...Weak coastal troughing will be
offshore this period, though some influx of low level moisture
may bring rain showers to mainly ern portions of ENC Thu into
Fri. Mostly sunny skies on Thu will turn mostly cloudy by Fri,
though pops only in the 20-30% range, highest ern counties.
Highs will cont above climo, in the low 80s, and lows also warm
with readings well into the 60s for most.

Saturday...The next feature that will require monitoring is a
cold front that will sweep through by Sat evening. Early
indications are that there will be limited moisture transport
ahead of the feature as low lvl flow is wrly, and not swrly out
of the GOM, and therefore only low end (20%) POPs are in the
forecast on Sat with this fropa.

Sunday through Monday...Significantly cooler and drier air mass
invades the ern CONUS late weekend through early next week, with
a strong touch of autumn expected across ENC. Strong Canadian
high pres builds in and temps drop to below climo, with highs in
the upper 60s to around 70s expected, and lows mainly in the 40s
(50s beaches).

&&

.AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHORT TERM /through Wednesday/...
As of 620 PM Tue...VFR conditions currently across the
terminals with sct to broken cu 4-5 kft dissipating with the
loss of diurnal heating. There is a signal for another round of
patchy shallow radiation fog again overnight and early Wed
morning. Based on climo and persistence, PGV is the location
with the greatest chances for fog impacts, though all sites
could briefly see a period sub-VFR visibility. Additionally,
increasing MVFR strato-cu could develop through the night, but
is expected to remain south and east of the terminals.

LONG TERM /Wednesday night through Sunday/...
As of 4 AM Tue...Mainly VFR through the coming week as high
pressure ridges in from the north and west. A weak coastal
trough will affect mainly the coastal counties with small rain
chances Thu into Fri, then a strong cold front but limited
moisture availability moves through on Sat.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /through Wednesday/...
As of 620 PM Tue...No changes to previous thinking. Latest obs
show N/NE winds 10-20 kt with seas 5-8 ft. High pressure will
remain in control of the waters through the period with weak
coastal troughing offshore. Gradually diminishing mid to long
period swell from low pressure over the central North Atlantic
and modest local wind swell will keep 5-7 ft seas in place
through this evening, subsiding to 4 to 6 ft tonight, with SCAs
persisting for the coastal waters. Seas should drop below 6 ft
for the northern waters tonight and the southern waters early
Wed morning. Will hold onto 6 ft seas for the central waters for
Wed, though NBM and Wavewatch show seas subsiding below 6 ft by
late Wed morning.

LONG TERM /Wednesday night through Sunday/...
As of 4 AM Tue..Building medium period swell brings back 6+ ft
seas for all of the coastal waters south of Oregon Inlet from
distant trop cyclone Philippe. A strong cold front will sweep
through by Sat evening with gusty NW to N winds developing in
it's wake.
