Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
751 PM EDT Sat Aug 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Cooler and drier than normal conditions will continue this
weekend, especially inland, before warmer temperatures return
starting early next week. Rain chances may increase towards the
end of the work week and into the weekend as high pressure slips
offshore.

&&

.UPDATE...
The Coastal Flood Advisory for the Lower Cape Fear River near
Downtown Wilmington has been cancelled as it is forecasted to
remain below minor flood levels tonight. Minor coastal flooding
along the river is forecasted again during Sunday and Monday
high tides.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
With low level winds more easterly than northerly, we will start to
see a warming trend beginning Sunday. Coastal trough is still just
offshore, with associated showers remaining over the waters as they
are falling apart quickly as they approach the coast with low level
subsidence and dry air aloft over land. Have limited slight chance
pops to the immediate coastline through tonight with broken low-mid
clouds across coastal counties and high clouds inland. Lows tonight
in the low 60s near I-95 and upper 60s/70 along the coast. While low
level ridge persists over the East Coast through tomorrow, a mid
level ridge over the central US builds slightly eastward Sunday.
This will push mid level dry air into the area from the west and
lead to decreasing PWATs during the day. Less cloud cover on Sunday,
with only minimal pops across coastal NE SC. Highs Sunday in the mid
to upper 80s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure remains inland through the period with a boundary
offshore. Activity should remain offshore with the boundary which
will be pushed south of the area Monday. Dry conditions with mostly
clear skies and warming temperatures will hold through the period.
Highs near 90 Monday then in mid 90s for Tuesday. Lows in the mid
60s Sunday night and then upper 60s Monday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Dry conditions persist until Thursday. The high should slip offshore
by then with an upper level disturbance and surface cold front
approaching from the north. PWATs should increase ahead of this
feature, but it doesn't look like it moves through the CWA. We then
look to move into a diurnal pattern with low precip chances possible
during the afternoon/evenings through the end of the period.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR dominates the 24 hr TAF issuance period. The only fly in
the ointment will be possible and periodic onshore movement of
MVFR clouds from off the Atlantic as pcpn and clouds associated
with the coastal trof offshore continues to churn away thru the
night and into Sunday. SCT-BKN Scu/Cu at 4k-6k ft to dominate
the coastal terminals Sun with SCT diurnal Cu 5k+ inland. Will
keep coastal terminals above the 3k MVFR cloud deck. Followed
previous fcst thinking and kept the BR threat out from all
terminals. Northeasterly winds persist through TAF period. The
onshore -shra movement looks too isolated via 88D loops and
latest HRRR runs, with majority of the onshore movement well
south of MYR. Current ENE winds back to NNE-NE 4 to 8 kt tonight
at the coastal terminals, inland terminals to remain NE 5 kt or
less tonight. Sun, NE around 10 kt except becoming ENE-E 10g15
kt at the coastal terminals during Sun aftn.

Extended Outlook...VFR conditions expected.

&&

.MARINE...
Through Sunday...With broad high pressure over the East Coast and
persistent offshore coastal front, northeast winds 15-20 kts
continue to prevail across the coastal waters through Sunday. 3-4 ft
seas tonight and Sunday will be a mix of NE wind chop and SE swell.
Scattered showers will continue across the waters tonight into
tomorrow, before coverage decreases tomorrow afternoon as mid level
dry air moves in and front moves further from the coast, with
isolated thunder possible.

Sunday Night through Thursday...The boundary keeping activity over
the waters should move away from the area Monday through Tuesday,
with high pressure keeping dry conditions in play until it slides
offshore Thursday. NE winds will become SW Tuesday night with speeds
10-15 kts. Seas 2-3 ft with a SE swell at 7-9 seconds.
