NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
1005 AM EDT FRI JUN 20 2003

COLD FRONT JUST THIS SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS AS OF 13Z.  WV IMAGERY
SHOWS A RESPECTABLE CURL ALOFT OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY...AND
EXPECT IT TO PROVIDE MORE SUPPORT TO MOVE THAT PORTION OF THE FRONT
E RATHER THAN MOVE THE SOUTHERN PORTION SE.  THIS FRONT IS STILL
STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO THE COAST...AND ANY CONVECTION THAT
DEVELOPS DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY WILL HELP MOVE IT SE.  FROPA
DURING THE EVENING APPEARS REASONABLE.

STILL LOOKING FOR CONVECTION TO FIRE AROUND MAX HEATING THIS
AFTERNOON...SO LIKELY POPS IN GOOD SHAPE.  MAX TEMPS IN THE 85-90
RANGE ALSO WELL ON TRACK SO NO ZFP UPDATE PLANNED AT THIS TIME.

MARINE...WINDS WEST SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 KTS AT THE BUOYS THIS
MORNING WITH SEAS OF 3 TO 4 FT. SURF REPORTS INDICATING WAVES 2 TO 3
FT THIS MORNING AND 06Z WAVE WATCH SHOWING SEAS FALLING TO 3 FEET BY
AT THIS TIME. SO ONLY CHANGES WITH THIS PACKAGE ARE TO INITIALIZE
WINDS AND LOWER SEAS 1 FT.

PUBLIC: ISOLATED CONVECTION OVER GEORGETOWN COUNTY SHOULD CLEAR OUT
OVER THE NEXT HOUR. BELIEVE MODELS ARE A BIT FAST MOVING COLD FRONT
OFFSHORE TONIGHT. FOR THIS MORNINGS ZONE PACKAGE WILL HOLD OFF
COASTAL FROPA TIL JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. LIKELY POPS THIS AFTN AND
EVENING...THEN SCT POPS TIL MIDNIGHT. MOISTURE PROFILES NOT AS DEEP
AS SEEN RECENTLY. STILL LOOKING AT A DRY WEEKEND. GFS/ETA CONSISTENT
IN BRINGING IN A DEEP DRY AIRMASS WITH NEXT HI PRES. MRF/ECMWF ALSO
REASONABLY CONSISTENT AT THE END OF THE OUTLOOK PD. WILL CONTINUE TO
KEEP IT DRY THRU THEN.

MARINE: WITH THE PASSAGE OF A SHORT WAVE TROUGH EARLIER...WINDS HAVE
VEERED A BIT MORE TO THE W AND HAVE DIMINISHED IN SPEED
CONSIDERABLY. EXPECT SEAS TO GRADUALLY SUBSIDE AS A RESULT.

APPROACHES THE COAST...WITH SPEEDS IN THE 10-15 KT RANGE. COLD FRONT
SHOULD CROSS THE WATERS TONIGHT...WITH A NLY FLOW DEVELOPING IN ITS
WAKE. A GENERALLY LIGHT OFFSHORE WILL THEN PERSIST FOR THE REMAINDER
