AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 317 PM EDT WED AUG 29 2007 .SYNOPSIS... WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE SOUTH INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS THROUGH THURSDAY...AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DRIFTS SOUTHWARD OFF OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. THIS LOW IS FORECAST TO LINGER OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. COAST INTO THE WEEKEND. A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS CURRENTLY IN THE GREAT LAKES WILL SLOW ITS SOUTHWARD PUSH...BUT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE CAROLINAS EARLY SATURDAY. DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... THE CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE HAS RETROGRADED TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND WILL EDGE A LITTLE FARTHER WEST OVERNIGHT. A NORTHWESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH BONE-DRY AIR STREAMING OVERHEAD. CLOSER TO THE SURFACE...WARM ADVECTION ON WESTERLY WINDS WILL CREATE WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE 305K THETA SURFACE. THIS WORKS OUT TO ROUGHLY 850 MB...AND WILL COMBINE WITH 500-1000 J/KG OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE WESTERN 2/3 OF OUR FORECAST AREA. THE BEST POTENTIAL AXIS FOR CONVECTION OVERNIGHT WILL FOLLOW THE PEE DEE RIVER VALLEY SOUTHEAST TO THE COAST. MOS POPS (BASED ON THE 12Z GFS AND ETA RUNS) SHOW A DRY FORECAST. HOWEVER USING THE 12Z NAM AS A GUIDE WE HAVE PENCILED IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR LUMBERTON...DARLINGTON AND FLORENCE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...DECREASING AROUND 7 PM. A SECOND WAVE OF ACTIVITY TIED MORE CLOSELY TO THE ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS EVENING AND SLIDE SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL WORK OUT IN A SIMILAR PATTERN TO LAST NIGHT - COOLEST IN THE WILMINGTON AREA IN AN AREA OF GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES...AND WARMEST ACROSS INLAND SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE MORE CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... AREA REMAINS CAUGHT BETWEEN WEAK SURFACE LOW/TROF WELL OFF THE EAST COAST AND COLD FRONT DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THERE WILL BE A COUPLE WEAK WAVES THAT MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE ILM AREA DURING THE NEXT 2 DAYS...BUT NONE OF THEM LOOK VERY IMPRESSIVE AND WILL HAVE A HARD TIME OVER COMING DRIER AIR IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS. DO NOT THINK THERE WILL BE MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIP INTO FRIDAY...JUST SOME LOW AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS. COMBINATION OF CLOUD COVER AND SLIGHTLY LOWER HEIGHTS WILL YIELD TEMPERATURES NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMO. COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME CONVECTION AHEAD AND ALONG THE FRONT...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE POPS AT THIS TIME. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... COLD FRONT WILL SLIP TO THE SOUTH EARLY IN THE PD. FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW AMPLE MOISTURE LINGERING THRU THE DAY BEHIND THE BOUNDARY SO LOW END CHANCE POPS STILL SEEM WARRANTED. FOR THAT MATTER SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MAY NEED TO BE CARRIED INTO SAT NITE AND SUNDAY. UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING CLOUD COVER AND THE RESULTING AFFECTS ON TEMPERATURES. ONLY MODEST CAA BEHIND THE FRONT SO BREAKS OF SUN WOULD ONLY LEAD TO HIGHS A FEW DAYS COOLER THAN THOSE OF MIDWEEK. NERLY FLOW STRATUS HOWEVER COULD REALLY KEEP TEMPS DOWN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED HPC/GFS GUIDANCE WHICH SHOW TEMPS PRETTY CLOSE TO CLIMO. ANOTHER WILDCARD IS THE STRENGTH/POSITION OF LOW PRESSURE WELL OFF THE COAST AND ITS POSSIBLE INFLUENCE ON THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD AIR/DRY AIR ADVECTION. MON-WED LOOK DRY WITH A POORLY DEFINED HIGH STILL TO THE NORTH AND VERY WEAK MID LEVEL FLOW. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... VFR IS EXPECTED TODAY AT ALL TERMINALS WITH SCATTERED TO BROKEN CU 3K-5K AND AN AC DECK 6K-8K. DUE TO DRY AIR ALOFT CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOULD BE ISOLATED. ALTHOUGH CHANCES ARE SLIGHT ATTM I MENTIONED VCSH IN THE LBT/FLO TAFS AFTER 00Z. MVFR VSBYS AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS AND IFR VSBYS AT FLO/LBT EXPECTED THURSDAY MORNING. IFR THURSDAY/FRIDAY MORNINGS MAINLY FLO/LBT. ISOLATED CONVECTION FRIDAY...BECOMING SCATTERED SATURDAY AND EARLY SUNDAY. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... NORTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING IN FROM THE NORTH...AND LOW PRESSURE STILL MOVING SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD AND AWAY FROM THE AREA. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS WEAKENED SINCE THIS TIME YESTERDAY AND WINDS SHOULD AVERAGE 10 KT OR SO WITH A FEW 15 KT GUSTS EXPECTED NORTH AND EAST OF CAPE FEAR. SEAS ARE A COMPLEX MIXTURE OF LOCAL WIND WAVES (2-3 FT EVERY 5 SECONDS) PLUS AT LEAST TWO SMALL SWELLS WITH PERIODS OF 8 AND 10 SECONDS RESPECTIVELY. HIGHEST SEAS ARE EXPECTED IN THE RELATIVELY OPEN WATERS EAST OF CAPE FEAR WHERE SOME 4-FOOTERS WILL DEVELOP OUT BEYOND 10-15 MILES FROM SHORE TONIGHT. THE FRYING PAN SHOALS BUOY AND THE CORMP BUOY ARRAY ARE REPORTING 2-3 FT SEAS CURRENTLY. THE 12Z WAVEWATCH RUN APPEARS TO HAVE INITIALIZED WELL WITH CURRENT CONDITIONS. SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. DOES NOT LOOK LIKE LOW/TROF EAST OF THE WATERS WILL BE DEVELOPING MUCH BEFORE IT AND A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST BEGIN TO INTERACT...JUST AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD. GRADIENT WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY UNCHANGED WITH WIND SPEEDS IN THE 10 TO 15 KT RANGE AND SEAS RUNNING 2 TO 4 FT. LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... NERLY WINDS THRU THE PD AS FAIRLY STRONG SFC HIGH RIDGES IN ACRS THE SOUTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC. AT SOME POINT DURING THE PD SCEC COULD BE REALIZED HOWEVER THERE IS MUCH UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW PINCHED THE GRADIENT WILL END UP GETTING MAINLY STEMMING FROM THE UNCERTAINTY INVOLVING THE SFC LOW WELL OFFSHORE. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
