Strong Wind in North Carolina, December 26, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
1255 PM EST WED DEC 26 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTH FROM TENNESSEE AND DEEPEN AS
IT TRACKS TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THROUGH THIS EVENING. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE WARM MOIST AIRMASS THIS
AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING.
COOL AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY HIGH
PRESSURE EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 12 PM WEDNESDAY...TORNADO WATCH CONTINUES WITH SEVERE
WEATHER STILL POSSIBLE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. SLIGHT RISK FROM SPC
AS DYNAMIC FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVING UP FROM TENNESSEE TOWARD THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST THROUGH TODAY. SOUTHERLY LLJ UP TO 65 KTS COMBINING
WITH STRONG FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH A FAST MOVING COLD FRONT...AN
INCREASINGLY CLOSED AND NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH AND
FAVORABLE PLACEMENT RELATIVE TO AN UPPER JET EXIT REGION.

WARM FRONT MOVING NORTH HAS CLEARED LOCAL CWA WITH AREA RICH IN
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S FOR THE MOST PART IN GUSTY SOUTHERLY
WINDS. SOME REPORTS OF GUSTS TO 35 MPH REPORTED INTO EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL INCREASE SFC BASED CAPE BUT LATEST RUC NOT
VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH HIGHER CAPES REMAINING OFF SHORE. NAM STILL
SHOWING VALUES INCREASING UP TO 800 TO 1000 J/KG IN A SMALL AREA
LEADING UP FROM WINYAH BAY UP THROUGH HORRY AND ROBISON COUNTIES
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS AREA SHIFTS EAST NORTHEAST AND WEAKENS
AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. LATEST OBS SHOWING DRY AIR
MAKING ITS WAY EAST INTO WESTERN PORTION OF CWA. DEWPOINTS
DROPPING WEST OF I95 THROUGH SOUTH CAROLINA INTO NORTH CAROLINA
WITH READINGS DOWN CLOSER TO 50 OR BELOW AS WINDS VEERING TO THE
SOUTHWEST.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE SHRINKING THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON AS WINDS SHIFT TO SOUTHWEST AND DRY AIR MAKES ITS
WAY IN. LOOKS LIKE SYSTEM HAS SPED UP IN TERMS OF BEST CHC OF
SEVERE WEATHER WITH GREATEST PROBABILITY IN WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF
APPROACHING COLD FRONT THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. MODELS IN FAIRLY
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH PEAK IN SVR WEATHER THREAT BETWEEN NOON AND 2
PM WITH DRY AIR MAKING ITS WAY IN AS WINDS SHIFT TO SOUTHWEST TO
WEST THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS RAPIDLY IMPROVE AFTER
THIS...ALTHOUGH IT WILL REMAIN BREEZY OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES
DROPPING INTO THE 30S MOST LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE BEACHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...DEEP WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW AND DRY AIR IN
THE WAKE OF EXITING STORM SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE REGION DRY FOR MUCH
OF THE PERIOD. COLD ADVECTION WILL BE LIMITED AS MID LEVEL TROUGH
LIFTING NORTHEAST LEAVES PROGRESSIVE FLOW IN PLACE THU/THU NIGHT. AS
ELONGATED SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EAST LOW LEVEL WINDS VEER FROM
NORTHWEST THU TO NORTHEAST ON FRI. AT THE SAME TIME SHORTWAVE
DROPPING INTO THE SOUTHWEST CONUS INDUCES WEAK MID LEVEL RIDGING
OVER THE SOUTHEAST. DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT STARTS ADVECTING
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. FIRST HINT WILL BE CIRRUS DEVELOPMENT
LATER FRI FOLLOWED BY MID AND LOW LEVEL CLOUDS FRI NIGHT.

THE AFOREMENTIONED SOUTHWEST SHORTWAVE CONTRIBUTES TO DEVELOPMENT OF
GULF COAST LOW PRESSURE AT THE START OF THE WEEKEND. THIS LOW AND
ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE PERIOD
ENDS. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON THE TRACK OF THE LOW AND WHETHER OR
NOT IT PASSES OVER OR OFF THE COAST BUT IT APPEARS THAT WILL BE AN
ISSUE FOR THE LONG TERM. ALTHOUGH GUIDANCE IS QUICK TO SHOW
SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPING IT IS LIKELY THAT LOW LEVEL WEDGE HOLDS
STRONG INTO FIRST PART OF SAT...KEEPING ANY PRECIP LIGHT AND
STRATIFORM LATE FRI NIGHT. PLAN TO CARRY LOW CHANCE POP AS PERIOD
ENDS BUT WITH LITTLE TO NO QPF GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL DRY AIR
SHOWN IN FORECAST SOUNDINGS...SOMETHING WHICH FURTHER SUGGESTS THE
WEDGE WILL HOLD.

DESPITE LIMITED STRENGTH AND DURATION OF COLD ADVECTION TEMPERATURES
WILL RUN BELOW CLIMO THU/THU NIGHT. LOW LEVEL COLD POOL WILL KEEP
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S WITH STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING
THU NIGHT DROPPING TEMPS BELOW FREEZING IN MANY AREAS. NORTHEAST
FLOW FRI COMBINED WITH LOW SUN ANGLE LIMITS AIR MASS MODIFICATION
DURING THE DAY. HIGHS END UP WARMER THAN THU BUT STILL BELOW CLIMO.
CLOUD COVER AND WEAK BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR
CLIMO FRI NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...MOST SIGNIFICANT WEATHER FEATURE WILL ALREADY
BE UNDERWAY AS THE PERIOD BEGINS. GULF COAST LOW TRACKING ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST WILL BRING RAIN...SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE SOUTHEAST SAT. UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRACK OF THE LOW
LIMITS THE SPECIFICITY OF THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT...BUT DO HAVE
FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN PRECIP OCCURRING...HENCE LIKELY POP.
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS SPLIT ON TAKING LOW OVER OR OFF THE COAST
SAT...THOUGH GFS ENSEMBLES HAVE BEEN TRENDING IN THE DIRECTION OF
PASSING THE MAIN SURFACE LOW JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION...IN LINE
WITH 12Z ECMWF SOLUTION AND HPC SOLUTION. THIS SOLUTION WOULD
SUGGEST RAIN OPPOSED TO SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.

POSITIVE TO NEUTRAL TILT OF MID LEVEL TROUGH AND LIMITED
INTERACTION WITH NORTHERN STREAM QUICKLY MOVE THE SYSTEM ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST AND INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION BY SAT NIGHT. AT THIS
POINT THE MID LEVEL TROUGH ATTAINS SOME NEGATIVE TILT AND THE STORM
STARTS TO DEEPEN. WHILE PRECIP WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE IN THE CAROLINAS
STRONG COLD ADVECTION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORM PUSHES COLD AIR
OVER THE REGION FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK. PARTIAL THICKNESS VALUES
SUGGEST HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER
20S TO LOWER 30S SUN AND MON.

CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW FOR THE END OF THE PERIOD WITH COLD FRONT
DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTH THEN STALLING ACROSS OR JUST SOUTH OF THE
AREA. MEANWHILE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS SHOWING ANOTHER SOUTHWEST
SHORTWAVE AND WEAK GULF COAST CYCLOGENESIS LATE MON INTO TUE...WHICH
MAY OR MAY NOT QUICKLY MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. GIVEN THAT THE
WAVE IS WELL OUTSIDE THE UPPER AIR SENSING NETWORK AND ALMOST A WEEK
AWAY WILL KEEP POP CAPPED AT SLIGHT CHANCE WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR
CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...CONVECTION MARCHING TO THE COAST. FLO SHOULD BE OUT OF
THE WOODS EARLY ON...BECOMING VFR. LBT WILL FOLLOW SUIT AN HOUR OR
SO LATER. THE COAST WILL EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT IFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH AROUND 21Z...WITH RAPIDLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS SHORTLY
AFTER. TONIGHT...VFR WITH GUSTY WEST SOUTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE
FRONT. THINGS WILL SLOWLY SETTLE DOWN SOMEWHAT AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THURSDAY...VFR WITH A PREDOMINATELY WEST WIND...STRONGEST GUSTS
AROUND MID MORNING.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR WILL CONDITIONS WILL PERSISTING THROUGH
FRIDAY. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN SATURDAY AS ANOTHER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTS THE AREA. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 12 PM WEDNESDAY...GALE WARNING CONTINUES WITH WINDS AND
SEAS UP ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS WITH WINDS UP BETWEEN 25 AND 35
MOST WATERS AND SEAS UP TO 6 TO 9 FT.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BOATING CONDITIONS OVER ALL WATERS THROUGH
TONIGHT...WITH A GALE WARNING IN EFFECT INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS OF THURSDAY. A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM EMERGING FROM THE DEEP
SOUTH WILL BRING THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAIN...THUNDERSTORMS
AND WATER SPOUTS TO THE WATERS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...WESTERLY FLOW AT THE START OF THE PERIOD MAY
REQUIRE SCA FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THU MORNING BEFORE SPEEDS
DROP UNDER 20 KT AS GRADIENT WEAKENS. SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTING
EAST LEADS TO FURTHER REDUCTION IN GRADIENT. THIS RESULTS IN WINDS
DECREASING AND VEERING FROM NORTHWEST LATE THU TO NORTHERLY THU
NIGHT. WINDS DROP UNDER 10 KT EARLY FRI AS RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EAST
AND FLOW BECOMES NORTHEASTERLY. WEAK ONSHORE FLOW MAY DEVELOP LATE
IN THE PERIOD...BUT THIS WILL DEPEND ON THE LOCATION AND TRACK OF
SURFACE LOWS MOVING INTO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE PERIOD ENDS. STRONG
WESTERLY FLOW WILL RESULT IN A WIDE RANGE OF SEAS AT THE START OF
THE PERIOD...2 FT TO 7 FT NEAR 20 NM IN THE VICINITY OF FRYING PAN
SHOALS. CONTINUED REDUCTION IN WINDS COMBINED WITH GRADUAL VEERING
ALLOWS SEAS TO SUBSIDE TO 2 FT FOR FRI AND FRI NIGHT.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...BRIEF PERIOD OF SOUTHERLY FLOW POSSIBLE
SAT...THOUGH EXACT TRACK OF MAIN SURFACE LOW REMAINS SOMEWHAT IN
QUESTION AND FLOW COULD END UP OFFSHORE THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE
PERIOD. CLOSE PROXIMITY OF WATERS TO SURFACE LOW WILL KEEP WINDS
UNDER 15 KT THROUGH SAT AFTERNOON. WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW INCREASES
LATE SAT AS LOW EXITS AND STARTS TO DEEPEN OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC
COAST. STRENGTHENING LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST
CONTRIBUTE TO AN INCREASE IN WINDS AND SEAS...POSSIBLY REQUIRING A
HEADLINE LATE SAT NIGHT THROUGH MIDDAY SUN. SURFACE HIGH CONTINUES
TO BUILD IN WITH GRADIENT STARTING TO RELAX IN THE AFTERNOON AND
NORTHWEST FLOW DECREASING TO 10 TO 15 LATE.
