AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC 250 PM EDT THU AUG 6 2009 .SYNOPSIS... A COLDFRONT WILL SLIP OFFSHORE BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BRINGING HOT AND HUMID WEATHER. THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 240 PM THU...AS EXPECTED NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE FORMING THIS AFTERNOON IN MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHEAD OF COLDFRONT NOW CROSSING THE COASTAL PLAINS. MAIN THREAT STILL APPEARS TO BE HEAVY RAINFALL WITH POSSIBLE TRAINING OF CELLS. STILL ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A BRIEF WET MICROBURST AND POSSIBLE SOME MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL...BUT THINK SEVERE THREAT IS FAIRLY MINIMAL. MOST OF THE PRECIP SHOULD BE OFFSHORE BY 03Z IF NOT EARLIER WITH ACTUAL BOUNDARY TO MOVE OFFSHORE BY 06Z TO 09Z. ONCE THE WEAK CAA KICKS IN...MIN TEMPS MAY FALL INTO THE UPPER 60S AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 240 PM THU...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN ON FRIDAY EXPECT A MUCH MORE PLEASANT DAY WITH DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S INLAND AND MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90. PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL. BY SATURDAY...THE SURFACE FLOW VEERS AROUND TO MORE S/SW INCREASING HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S. BUILDING UPPER RIDGE WILL SUPPRESS CONVECTION AND THINK ANY PRECIP SATURDAY WILL BE VERY ISOLATED AND WILL LEAVE OUT OF FCST. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 1120 AM THU...GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN GFS AND ECMWF IN EVOLUTION OF UPPER PATTERN INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. STRONG H5 RIDGE TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS AND HIGH DEWPOINTS BOTH DAYS WITH HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS LIKELY AND POSSIBLE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING CONDITIONS. CONVECTION WILL BE SUPPRESSED AND EXPECT MINIMAL POPS FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. BY TUESDAY...RIDGE STARTS TO BREAK DOWN AND RETROGRADE TO THE WEST WITH H5 TROF DIGGING BACK INTO THE SOUTH BY WEDS AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH BY EARLY THU. WILL BRING BACK CHC POPS AND LOWER MAX TEMPS WEDS INTO THURS. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 230PM THU... SCATTERED CONVECTION TO IMPACT ERN NC THROUGH EARLY EVENING THEN SHOULD SLIDE E OF TERMINALS WITH MAIN SHORT WAVE PUSHING OFFSHORE. WILL THEREFORE KEEP IN VCTS/SH WITH TEMPO MVFR IN THROUGH 23Z FOR INLAND SITES AND 3Z FOR COASTAL SITES. SOME ISOLATED IFR WILL BE POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER CELLS. A BRIEF PERIOD OF FOG AND/OR POST FRONTAL STRATUS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...THEN SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY INTO FRI MORNING AS DRY AIR WORKS IN WITH NLY FLOW BEHIND FRONT. VFR TO RULE THE REST OF FRI AS WEAK HIGH PRES REBUILDS. VFR EXPECTED TO DOMINATE IN EXTENDED. DIURNAL CONVECTION EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY ISOLATED AT BEST AS DEEP LAYERED RIDGING IMPACTS THE REGION. PATCHY EARLY MORNING FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE PER NORMAL THO. && .MARINE... AS OF 230PM THU... NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST. MODERATE TO FRESH S TO SW FLOW TO CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING AS OFFSHORE HIGH PRES INTERACTS WITH APPROACHING FRONT. STILL THINK THERE WILL BE A BRIEF WINDOW WHERE BOTH WINDS AND SEAS COULD FLIRT WITH SCA LEVEL MAINLY OUTER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL WATERS. SINCE 41025 IS A LITTLE LESS THAN GUIDANCE IN BOTH WINDS AND SEAS HAVE OPTED FOR A SCEC INSTEAD OF SCA BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR OF POTENTIAL UPGRADE. FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE EARLY FRI MORNING WITH A BRIEF 15KT SURGE OF NW/N WINDS FOR THE NRN WATERS...SLIGHTLY WEAKER SOUTH. THIS WILL DIMINISH DURING THE DAY ON FRI WHILE VEERING NE THEN E AS THE POST FRONTAL HIGH LOOKS WEAK. THE HIGH SLIDES OFFSHORE FRI NITE INTO SAT ALLOWING WINDS TO RETURN TO A MORE NORMAL SE THEN S DIRECTION. THEREAFTER WE ARE EXPECTING TYPICAL LIGHT TO MODERATE (5-15KT) S/SW WINDS TO RULE LATE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK AROUND THE OFFSHORE HIGH. SEAS MAY BRIEFLY HIT THE 4FT(ISH) MARK FOR THE NRN WATERS IN SHORT PERIOD NLY WIND WAVES FRI MORNING BUT THOSE WAVES SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY...AS SHOULD THE LINGERING SSW WAVES FROM TODAYS WIND. THAT LEAVES US WITH MAINLY 2-3FT SEAS AS WE HEAD INTO AND THRU THE WEEKEND IN A MIX OF LOCAL WIND WAVES AND SE BACKGROUND SWELL...EXCEPT UP TO AROUND 4FT FOR CENTRAL WATERS. && .MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
