Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
317 PM EDT Fri Aug 2 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid weather will continue through Saturday as Bermuda High
Pressure maintains southwest winds. Rain chances will increase this
weekend as a front stalls across the interior portions of the
Carolinas. Potential Tropical Cyclone Four, currently moving through
the Bahamas, could bring heavy rain and wind to our area next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A very active pattern with both a surface cold front and mid level
height falls  impinging upon the area from the northwest, both
rather unusual for early August. This afternoon's active convection
will weaken with diurnal heating. Coastal areas will once again
become active as offshore convection drifts towards the coast. Then
not unlike today the focus will shift inland underneath the greatest
height falls. Training cells and localized flooding appear a good
possibility as does isolated wet microbursts. Saturday's uptick in
cloud cover should keep heat index values just below advisory
thresholds.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
An upper trough across the central Appalachians Saturday night
will move east to the Mid Atlantic coastline Sunday night. A
60-70 knot 250 mb jet streak on the front edge of this trough
will align its right entrance region across the eastern
Carolinas Saturday night through Sunday night, enhancing
synoptic scale ascent. This will likely lead to widespread
coverage of showers and thunderstorms. Locally heavy rainfall
should occur, especially inland where it's possible some
flooding could develop where training cells intersect areas that
have already picked up recent heavy rainfall. One to three
inches of rain is expected and PoPs remain high with this
latest forecast update: 50-70 percent Saturday night, 80
percent Sunday, and 50-70 percent Sunday night.

Overnight lows of 72-77 and daytime highs of 85-88 are expected,
held into a rather diurnal tight range by clouds and precip.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The big story in the extended forecast for next week is what
becomes of Potential Tropical Cyclone Four. Compared to
yesterday, models have come into somewhat better track
agreement but still show considerable spread in timing as the
cyclone moves northeastward from Florida. Latest guidance from
NHC has the system making its closest approach to our area
Tuesday into Wednesday.

The trough that pushes the front into the interior Carolinas
this weekend should lift out to the northeast Monday and
Tuesday. Upper level ridging will strengthen across Bermuda and
also across the central Plains states, leaving a relative
weakness between the two ridges near the East Coast. This is
likely the path our potential tropical cyclone will take out of
the subtropics, but given the light steering flow it wouldn't
take but a small nudge from either ridge to shift the storm's
track a couple hundred miles in either direction.

On the current NHC forecast, onshore flow should bring scattered
showers and thunderstorms onshore Monday, becoming more
widespread Monday night and Tuesday as the system exits the
FL coast and gains latitude. During the period of closest
approach there could be a large gradient in rainfall with heavy
rain along the coast and much lighter and spotty totals west of
I-95, but again with the caveat that the track isn't known with
any confidence yet.

The system should eventually move northeast of the area by
Thursday and Friday. A front could get pushed southeastward
behind the tropical cyclone Thursday, but should get pushed back
inland by the seabreeze and flow around Bermuda High Pressure by
Friday.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Generally VFR outside of thunderstorm through the period, which in
the very near term will be most likely to affect LBT and FLO. After
a diurnal easing of thunderstorm coverage and intensity
overnight lowered flight categories may return to the coast in
the morning, then favoring inland locales from midday onward.

Extended Outlook... Afternoon/evening MVFR/IFR possible from
storms with the potential increasing through this weekend as a
cold front approaches and stalls over the area.

&&

.MARINE...
Through Saturday...Winds remain out of the southwest through the
period as Bermuda High remains offshore while a cold front
approaches from the northwest. The gradient will become increasingly
tight by the approach of the boundary but headlines likely not
materializing until later in the weekend.

Saturday night through Wednesday...A front stalled across the
inland Carolinas this weekend won't affect our winds, but the
upper level system that brought the front near us will help
increase the coverage of showers and thunderstorms across the
region. Bermuda High Pressure well offshore will maintain
southerly winds averaging 10-15 knots through Sunday night,
although there will be local increases in the vicinity of
thunderstorms.

Bigger problems are on the horizon beginning later on Monday as
a tropical cyclone expected to develop south and west of the
Florida peninsula this weekend may begin to approach the
Carolinas from the south. There is still considerable
uncertainty with the timing and track of this potential storm,
as well as questions about the amount of land interaction the
system will encounter. At this time adverse marine weather
conditions appear likely from Monday night through Wednesday due
to winds and seas from this system.
