AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
706 AM EDT WED AUG 1 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH
THIS MORNING AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES UP THE CAROLINA COAST.
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BRING SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY
THROUGH THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND. A MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
BRING A RETURN TO MORE ACTIVE WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 7 AM WEDNESDAY...DRIER AIR HAS MOVED IN ACROSS THE UPSTATE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA AND WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS MORNING AND HAS BEGUN
TO SPREAD INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS TREND
SHOULD SLOW AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE ACROSS COASTAL
SOUTH CAROLINA THIS MORNING AND HEADS UP THE COAST. THE BRUNT OF THE
CONVECTION HAS MOVED INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AS
OF 7 AM. THEREFORE...CUT POPS BACK TO SCATTERED FROM LBT TO MAO TO
CKI AND POINTS W.
A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE PRESSING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST COAST PER WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY. THIS IS EXPECTED TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT
OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE WHICH WILL MOVE UP THE CAROLINA COAST
TODAY...AND WILL LIKELY BE IN THE VICINITY OF CAPE LOOKOUT AROUND
SUNSET. THE BEST LIFT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS
MORNING AND THIS IS WHEN THE DEEPEST MOISTURE IS PRESENT. AS WE
PROGRESS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...THE COLUMN BEGINS TO DRY OUT AND
WEAK SUBSIDENCE TAKES HOLD.
GIVEN THIS...EXPECT HIGHEST POPS ARE WARRANTED LONGEST AT THE COAST.
WILL CARRY HIGHEST POPS ALONG THE COAST AND OFFSHORE FOR THE
REMAINDER OF TODAY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE JUST ABOVE 2
INCHES THIS MORNING AND SO EVEN THOUGH THE RADAR RETURNS WILL BE
MOVING ALONG IN SW FLOW...THEY WILL STILL BE CAPABLE OF HEAVY
RAINFALL WHICH MAY CAUSE WATER TO POND IN A FEW LOW-LYING LOCATIONS.
TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH TODAY WILL REACH ONE-HALF TO ONE AND
ONE-HALF INCHES...BUT LOCALLY AMOUNTS NEAR TWO INCHES ARE POSSIBLE.
CLOUDY SKIES THIS MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO BRIGHTEN DURING THE LATE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON...FIRST ACROSS THE I-95 CORRIDOR AND POINTS W.
THIS SUNSHINE SHOULD HELP PUSH HIGH TEMPS UP TO AROUND THE 90 DEGREE
MARK WELL INLAND. AS YOU APPROACH THE COAST...WHERE BRIGHTER SKIES
WILL BE SLOW TO ARRIVE...HIGH TEMPS WILL BE HELD TO THE MID AND
UPPER 80S TODAY.
ALTHOUGH THE AIRMASS WILL BE DRYING OUT LATER TODAY...AFTERNOON
HEATING WILL INCREASE THE INSTABILITY WITH CAPE VALUES REACHING 1500
TO 2000 J/KG AND AS HIGH AS 2500 J/KG WELL INLAND. DOWNDRAFT CAPE
VALUES WILL TOP 1000-1500 J/KG...INDICATIVE OF STRONG DOWNDRAFTS. IF
AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM IS ABLE TO DEVELOP IN THIS ENVIRONMENT...IT
WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE STRONG TO POSSIBLY DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS.
YET ANOTHER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE...DIVING SE OUT OF THE OHIO
VALLEY...MAY REACH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT. THUS...CONVECTION MAY
REACH THE FORECAST AREA OR REDEVELOP DURING THE NIGHTTIME HOURS.
STILL RATHER LOW CONFIDENCE REGARDING PRECIPITATION TONIGHT...SO
WILL KEEP POPS IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE/VERY LOW CHANCE CATEGORY FOR NOW.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...MID TO UPPER TROUGH ALIGNED DOWN THE EAST
COAST WILL WEAKEN AND LIFT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH FRIDAY. A
SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THIS TROUGH AND MOVING OVER THE
CAPE FEAR REGION THURS WILL CUT OFF AND LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW
THIS UPPER LOW OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST DRIFTING SOUTH TOWARD
FLORIDA THROUGH FRIDAY. THE NAM IS MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS
FEATURE BUT EITHER WAY...EXPECT GREATER SUBSIDENCE AND MID LEVEL
DRYING IN A DEEP W-NW FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. THIS
SHORTWAVE WILL AFFECT THE AREA THURS..BUT OVERALL EXPECT A LESS
ACTIVE PERIOD WITH GREATER AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE AND TEMPS REACHING
INTO THE 90S. PCP WATER REMAINS ON THE LOW SIDE FOR AUGUST WITH
VALUES BETWEEN 1.5 AN 1.7 THROUGH THE PERIOD. BERMUDA HIGH BUILDS
BACK IN ON FRI WITH W WINDS BACKING TO THE SOUTH AND INCREASING.
THIS WILL PRODUCE A MORE HUMID AIR MASS HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.
HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES MAY CAUSE MINOR FLOODING AT DOWNTOWN
WILMINGTON NC ALONG THE CAPE FEAR RIVER. THIS SHOULD NOT POSE A
MAJOR IMPACT OR SIGNIFICANT HAZARD BUT COULD REQUIRE A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY DURING HIGH TIDES IN THE DAYS AHEAD.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...WEAK RIDGING ALOFT WILL START THE PERIOD
ON SATURDAY AS BERMUDA HIGH CONTINUES TO BUILD WESTWARD BACK INTO
AREA. THEREFORE EXPECT FAIRLY TYPICAL SUMMER TIME WEATHER WITH A
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW AND LOCALIZED SHOWER ACTIVITY MAINLY ALONG
PIEDMONT TROUGH INLAND AND SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY CLOSER TO THE
COAST. BY LATE SUN INTO MON THE RIDGE WILL BUILD UP THROUGH THE
CENTRAL CONUS WHILE A MID TO UPPER TROUGH DIGS DOWN ACROSS THE
EAST COAST ONCE AGAIN. THIS WILL PUSH SFC FRONT/TROUGH EASTWARD
WITH INCREASED CHC OF PCP THROUGH THE EARLY NEXT WEEK. EXPECT
TEMPS TO START OUT SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL WITH INCREASING HEIGHTS
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND BUT THEN WILL FALL BACK TO
NORMAL AS MID TO UPPER TROUGH RETURNS. OVERALL EXPECT MAX TEMPS
WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 90 AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 70S.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 12Z...LARGE BATCH OF CONVECTION WILL AFFECT ILM FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS...WITH ISOLATED ACTIVITY FOR THE REST OF THE
TERMINALS. AFTER 14Z...DEEP MOISTURE BEGINS TO EXIT THE
COAST...HOWEVER THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY BY LATE MORNING
TO STILL FIRE OFF SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON.
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL END AROUND 18Z AS IT ADVECTS NORTH AND
EAST OF THE REGION. CONTINUED HIGH PWATS WILL BRING DOWN
VISIBILITIES TO IFR...PERHAPS BRIEF PERIODS OF LIFR...IN HEAVY
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. CEILINGS FOR THE MOST PART WILL
BE INTERMITTENTLY MVFR. WINDS WILL BE PREDOMINATELY SOUTHERLY...BUT
COULD BECOME VARIABLE AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE MOVES OVER. LOOK FOR VFR
CONDITIONS TO BECOME DOMINATE FROM MID AFTERNOON...THROUGH THE END
OF THE PERIOD.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 7 AM WEDNESDAY...NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO WANE LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS
AFTERNOON...LASTLY ACROSS THE WATERS OFF OF CAPE FEAR AS WEAK LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST AND MOVES UP ALONG
THE COAST...REACHING THE CAPE LOOKOUT AREA AROUND 00Z.
THIS CONVECTION WILL HELP BUILD SEAS TO 5 FT AND WILL INCLUDE A
SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINE FOR THE NORTHERN WATERS
FROM MID MORNING THROUGH EARLY EVE. OTHERWISE SEAS WILL RANGE FROM 3
TO 4 FT THROUGH THE PERIOD.
WIND SPEEDS WILL RANGE FROM 10 TO 15 KT THROUGH THIS EVE...
DIMINISHING TO 10 KT OR SO LATER TONIGHT. THE DIRECTION WILL BE FROM
THE SSW TODAY...VEERING SLIGHTLY TO THE SW TONIGHT.
MARINERS SHOULD EXPECT LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS IN AND NEAR
SIGNIFICANT SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...BERMUDA HIGH WILL BUILD BACK IN THROUGH THE
PERIOD. A LIGHTER W-NW FLOW INITIALLY WILL BACK AROUND TO THE
SOUTH AND SHOULD REMAIN AROUND 10 TO 15 KTS. SEAS WILL BE 2 TO 3
FT THROUGH THE PERIOD.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...TYPICAL SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND BERMUDA HIGH.
S-SW FLOW OF 10-15 KNOTS FOR THE MOST PART WITH SEAS 2-3 FEET. A
LONGER PERIOD UP TO 9 SECOND SE SWELL WILL MIX WITH WIND WAVES
THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH A LONGER PERIOD UP TO 13 SEC SE SWELL
REACHING THE WATERS SUN NIGHT INTO MON.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THIS EVE...
FOR THE CAPE FEAR RIVER IN DOWNTOWN WILMINGTON. THE FULL MOON WILL
CONTINUE TO PRODUCE HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES. THE RIVER GAGE IN
DOWNTOWN WILMINGTON MAY REACH OR SLIGHTLY EXCEED 5.75 FT DURING THE
TIME OF HIGH TIDE. THE RIVER LEVELS SHOULD PEAK BETWEEN 9 AND 11
PM.
ALSO...WATER LEVELS WILL BE ELEVATED AT THE BEACHES AND MAY APPROACH
MINOR COASTAL FLOOD THRESHOLDS AT WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH DURING THE
