NWS Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 22, 1:30 PM EST, 3 hours 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON, NC 230 PM EDT FRI JUN 22 2001 ZFP: 1ST SHORTWAVE IS PULLING OUT THE AREA. THIS IMPULSE PRODUCED A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WITH PEA SIZED HAIL. BEHIND THIS WAVE SUBSIDENCE IS SUPPRESSING THE CONVECTION BUT AS THIS FEATURE PULLS AWAY EXPECT THE MAXIMUM HEATING TO HELP PRIME THE AREA FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATER. ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO BE UNSTABLE AND VERY MOIST THROUGH SATURDAY AND WITH SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW EXPECTED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES. CONCERN IS THAT AVN AND ETA ARE VERY DIFFERENT IN PROGNOSTICATION OF SHORTWAVE LOCATIONS. AS CONVECTION WORKS IT WAY EAST EXPECTING THAT OUTFLOWS TO BE A FOCUS FOR OVERNIGHT CONVECTION UNTIL BETTER DYNAMICS MOVES FARTHER TO THE EAST. WILL START OFF WITH A LIKELY POPS INLAND AND CHANCE ON THE COAST AND WILL TREND INTO LIKELY POPS AFTER SUNSET FOR ALL AREAS. THIS IS BASED ON THE EXISTING SUBSIDENCE. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY AND TREND BACK TO DIURNAL CONVECTION WITH THE CUT OFF LOW REMAINING TO OUR WEST IN THE EXTENDED. CWF: AS FRONT MOVES TO THE COAST AND STALLS ON THE COAST WILL TREND WINDS UP LATE TONIGHT TO THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE AND THEN AS FRONT STALLS WILL DROP WINDS BACK TO 10 TO 15 KTS. NO FLAGS EXPECTED BUT CONVECTIVE WINDS WILL BE THE MAJOR THREAT DURING THE NEXT 36 HOURS.
