NWS Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 20, 6:38 PM EST, 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 738 PM EDT SUN JUN 20 2010 .SYNOPSIS... HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE FOR MOST OF THIS WEEK AS THE BERMUDA HIGH REMAINS IN PLACE. WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY EACH AFTERNOON. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...CONVECTION HAS BEEN CONCENTRATED ALONG TWO AXES THIS AFTERNOON: THE SEABREEZE BOUNDARY ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST...AND ALONG A STATIONARY TROUGH/WIND SHIFT AXIS EXTENDING FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA MIDLANDS INTO THE NC INTERIOR COASTAL PLAIN. STEERING FLOW IS NEARLY NONEXISTENT...SO STORMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO FOLLOW BOUNDARIES AND OUTFLOWS THROUGH EARLY EVENING. THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF DRY AIR ALOFT AS ADVERTISED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS... HOWEVER THIS IS BEING OFFSET BY RATHER EXTREME INSTABILITY WITH LIFTED INDICES AS LOW AS -6 AND SURFACE- BASED CAPE VALUES OVER 3000 J/KG. THE DRY AIR ALOFT WILL ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS IN THE STRONGER STORMS...AND WILL HELP DECREASE THE HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL DESPITE THE SLOW STORM MOTION. HOWEVER WE STILL EXPECT THE STRONGEST STORMS TO DROP UP TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN PER HOUR. AT THE UPPER LEVELS...THERE IS A WEAK SHEAR AXIS STALLED OVER THE CENTRAL CAROLINAS THAT MAY BE ENHANCING STORM DEVELOPMENT SOMEWHAT. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING STORMS SHOULD DISSIPATE BY 9-10 PM WITH GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT. MODELS ARE INSISTENT THAT CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP OFFSHORE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT IN THE SURPRISINGLY WARM AND UNSTABLE MARINE ENVIRONMENT. THE SLOW STORM MOTION VECTORS INDICATE SHOWERS OR STORMS COULD DRIFT INTO COASTAL NORTH OR SOUTH CAROLINA...PARTICULARLY THE CAPE FEAR REGION. WE WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE BACK INTO THE FORECAST AFTER 3 AM. LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD FALL TO 72-74 INLAND...WITH MID 70S EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST. BEACHFRONT LOCATIONS WITH ONSHORE WINDS MOST OF THE NIGHT LIKE OAK ISLAND AND BALD HEAD ISLAND COULD SEE LOWS VERY CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES TONIGHT IF SHOWERS STAY AWAY. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH AND SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE PERIOD. CHANCE OF MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL PERSIST INTO THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. ON MONDAY...FEEL THAT THE BEST CHANCES WILL OCCUR ALONG THE COASTAL ZONES WHERE THE SEA BREEZE WILL COME INTO PLAY ALONG WITH A WEAK DEFORMATION ZONE ALOFT. INSTABILITY WILL RANGE FROM MARGINAL TO MODERATE AND CAPES ARE NOT PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE. REGARDLESS COULD SEE A FEW STRONG PULSE TSRA FROM SMALL SCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. NOT AS MUCH SUPPORT ALOFT FOR STORMS DURING TUESDAY...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION. MAV/MET NUMBERS ARE CLOSE EACH PERIOD...THOUGH DID FAVOR THE SLIGHTLY COOLER MET NUMBERS FOR THE HIGHS DURING MONDAY. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...BROAD 5H RIDGE AND BERMUDA HIGH IN PLACE THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL ENSURE CONTINUATION OF HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE PAST WEEK OR SO...DAILY AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. SOME DAYS ARE MORE FAVORABLE THAN OTHERS. STRONGER PIEDMONT TROF AND SUPPRESSION OF 5H RIDGE AXIS TO THE SOUTHWEST BY SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND ON THU WILL INCREASE PRECIP CHANCES. FRI AND SAT APPEAR TO BE THE BEST PRECIP DAYS...THOUGH STILL ONLY CHC POPS AT BEST. 5H RIDGE IS SLOW TO BUILD BACK WHILE PIEDMONT TROF IS PUSHED A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE COAST BY FRONT DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. DOUBT FRONT WILL REACH THE ILM AREA...BUT IT MAY BRIEFLY MOVE INTO CENTRAL NC. HOWEVER...PIEDMONT TROF AND THE SEA BREEZE ARE WHERE LOCAL CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP. UPPER RIDGE STARTS TO REASSERT ITSELF SUN...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION BETWEEN 600 AND 800 MB...SO WILL KEEP MENTION OF POPS OUT OF THE FORECAST. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE ABOVE TO WELL ABOVE CLIMO...SLIGHTLY COOLER HIGHS THU-SAT DUE TO CLOUDS/CONVECTION. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 00Z...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS STRONGLY ENTRENCHED OVER THE SOUTHERN US. THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES HAVE AN OLD BOUNDARY/SURFACE TROUGH THAT IS PROVIDING LIFT AND SURFACE BASED CAPE IS HIGH BUT THE AIR ALOFT IS RELATIVELY DRY. STILL A GOOD MIX FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE. STORMS THIS EVENING ARE PUSHING DOWN FROM THE NORTH. LBT AND THEN ILM WILL SEE VCTS/VCSH AS LATE AS 09Z FOR ILM. WENT WITH MVFR IN FOG FOR FLO MAINLY FROM PERSISTENCE AND THE MOISTURE LEFT OVER FROM THE STORMS. VFR TOMORROW WITH MORE WIDESPREAD CB DEVELOPMENT AND VICINITY THUNDERSTORMS AFTER 15Z FOR THE COASTAL TERMINALS...A LITTLE LATER FOR THE INLAND SITES. WIND TO BE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AT 6 TO 12 KNOTS THROUGH THE PERIOD. AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS DECREASES. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE FOR SUMMER TIME CONVECTION TO PRODUCE DIURNAL AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH PERIOD. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS COVERS THE CAROLINA COASTAL WATERS AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. PLENTY OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA ALONG THE FRONT EDGE OF THE SEABREEZE WILL DISSIPATE LATER THIS EVENING WITH LITTLE ADDITIONAL IMPACT ON THE MARINE AREA. AFTER MIDNIGHT THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE OCEAN... ESPECIALLY OFFSHORE...WHERE FORECAST MODELS ARE QUITE INSISTENT ON THIS OCCURRING. THUNDERSTORMS IN THE GEORGETOWN VICINITY THIS AFTERNOON HAVE DISRUPTED THE OVERALL SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WIND PATTERN THAT EXISTS FARTHER UP THE COAST. FROM NORTH MYRTLE BEACH UP THROUGH THE CAPE FEAR REGION WINDS ARE INCREASING TO AROUND 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS NEAR 20 KNOTS. THESE STRONGER WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH LATE EVENING BEFORE TURNING MORE WESTERLY AND DYING DOWN TO AROUND 10 KNOTS OVERNIGHT. SEAS AROUND 2 FT CURRENTLY WILL BUILD TO 3 FT BY LATE AFTERNOON. SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...A WEAK TROUGH WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE FAR OFF THE SOUTHEAST US COAST. THE FLOW WILL BE HIGHEST EACH AFTERNOON AS THE SEA BREEZE BECOMES FULLY DEVELOPED SPEEDS WHEN SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 10-15 KTS EACH DAY. DURING EACH EVENING...THE FLOW WILL VEER TO A LIGHT OFFSHORE DIRECTION. WAVE HEIGHTS WILL AVERAGE 2-3 FT...WITH SOME CHOP EACH AFTERNOON WITH THE INCREASE IN WINDS. LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...WATERS TO REMAIN BETWEEN BERMUDA HIGH AND PIEDMONT TROF THROUGH THE PERIOD. THU AND FRI AFTERNOON THE TROF STRENGTHENS...WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW 10 KT OR LESS INCREASING TO 10 TO 15 KT AS THE TIGHTENS UP. SEA BREEZE WILL AGAIN BE ACTIVE THROUGH THE PERIOD...FURTHER INCREASING WIND SPEEDS NEAR SHORE AS WELL AS ADDING MORE OF AN ONSHORE COMPONENT TO DIRECTION. SEAS WILL RUN 2 TO 3 FT...THOUGH 4 FT IS POSSIBLE ACROSS WATERS EXPOSED TO SOUTHWEST FLOW LATE THU AND FRI. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
