AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC 316 PM EDT FRI JUN 25 2004 .PUBLIC...CURRENT SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGES SHOW AN INCREASE IN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NC/VA. AS THE SFC LOW CONTINUES TO SLIDE EAST THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT TO SEE AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS EASTERN NC. ANY AFTERNOON ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MORE ISOLD/SCT IN NATURE AS THE MAJORITY OF THE DYNAMICS WITH THE FRONT/LOW ARE TO THE N AND WEST. ANY DEVELOPING STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE AS THERE IS ENOUGH SFC MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO SPARE. HAIL THREAT IS POSSIBLE WITH FRZ LVLS AROUND 14KFT AND WTBULB 12.5KFT FAVORABLE FOR PENNY TO QUARTER SIZE HAIL. STORMS THAT DEVELOPED JUST N OF THE REGION IN VA HAD DEVELOPED A TORNADO...AND GIVEN SIMILAR WIND PROFILES CANT RULE THEM OUT. ETA TIME HEIGHT CONTINUES TO SHOW DEEP MOISTURE PROFILE...WITH PRECIP WATER AROUND TWO INCHES. GOOD ISENTROPIC LIFT IS ALSO DEPICTED AND IS PROJECTED TO PEAK AROUND 06Z TONIGHT WHEN SHOWERS AND TSRA WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS. THEREFORE... THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIER PRECIP IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STILL EXISTS AND WILL MENTION CHANCE FOR HEAVY RAIN. THE COLD FRONT TO THE NORTH HAS SLOWED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS AS THE FLOW HAS BECOME ALL BUT PARALLEL TO THE FRONT. MODELS ARE TRYING TO INDICATE ANOTHER VORT MAX MOVING UP FROM AROUND GA SAT THAT COULD BRING SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON SAT...PRIMARILY IN THE SW PORTIONS OF THE CWA. AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WILL NOT REACH THE CWA UNTIL LATE SAT NT/EARLY SUN MORNING. ANOTHER LOW IS FCST TO MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION FROM THE W ON MON...WHICH COULD BRING ANOTHER BOUT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...THE REST OF THE FCST LOOKS FINE WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL WITH H PRES BUILDING BACK INTO THE S. && .MARINE...WINDS WILL BECOME SW AND GRADUALLY INCREASE TONIGHT AS A SFC LOW TO OUR W STRENGTHENS AND MVS BY TO OUR N. SW WINDS OF 15-20 KT WL CONT MOST OF SAT WITH TIGHTENED PGRAD AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE W. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO SCA CRITERIA ON SAT...HIGHEST S OF CAPE HATTERAS. WILL GO WITH THE ETA SOLUTION ON FRONTAL PASSAGE SAT NIGHT...MOVING OFFSHORE AFTER MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUING WELL OFFSHORE ON SUN. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT BACK N ON MON. HIGH PRESS OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA ON TUE INCREASING SW WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. && .AVIATION...SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH SEVERE TSTMS A POSSIBILITY. THE POTENTIAL FOR SHWRS AND TSTMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SAT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
