AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
427 PM EDT WED AUG 29 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA TONIGHT. A GRADUAL DRYING AND
WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN THURSDAY AND CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM
THE NORTH AND WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA
THROUGH MID WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 430 PM WEDNESDAY...NO CHANGE IN FORECAST THINKING...BUT WE
HAVE UPDATED OUR FORECAST PRODUCTS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT ACTIVE
RADAR TRENDS AND THE LARGE PROPORTION OF CELLS PRODUCING HEAVY
RAINFALL. NO MODELS...INCLUDING THE RAPID-UPDATE HRRR MODEL...HAVE
LATCHED ONTO THE CURRENTLY OBSERVED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
OR THEIR INTENSITY. MUCH OF THE CURRENT ACTIVITY IS LIKELY LINKED
TO HIGH CAPE VALUES FROM DAYTIME HEATING AND THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD
WANE DURING THE 6-8 PM TIME FRAME AS THIS ENERGY IS USED UP.
OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL BE MORE A RESULT OF UPPER LEVEL DIFLUENCE
FROM A JET STREAK OVER EASTERN NC AND OFFSHORE ACTING ON MARGINALLY
UNSTABLE ELEVATED PARCELS. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 3 PM FOLLOWS...
A SURFACE COLD FRONT IS TRANSECTING THE COUNTY WARNING AREA WITH
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. THE
STORM MOTION IS FROM 315 AT 10 KNOTS AND WITH HIGH PRECIPITABLE
WATER OF AROUND 2.2 INCHES HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY TO CONTINUE
TO SAG SOUTHWARD OVER OUR AREA BUT WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO SHIFT
MUCH FURTHER SOUTHWARD THAN MYR BY LATE TONIGHT.
OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO DIP INTO THE LOWER 70S INLAND TO
THE MID 70S AT THE BEACHES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...THURSDAY WILL BE A DAY OF TRANSITION AS A
SLOWLY MOVING COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO DRIFT SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA.
ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH WITH THIS BOUNDARY...DRIER AIR
BUILDS IN BEHIND IT AND PRECIP CHANCES WILL FALL SLOWLY THROUGH THE
DAY. BY THE END OF THE DAY...CONVECTIVE CHANCES SHOULD DECREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD...DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED UNDER
CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL GENERALLY REACH
THE MIDDLE 80S THURSDAY AND MID 80S TO AROUND 90 FRIDAY. LOWS EACH
NIGHT SHOULD FALL TO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...RIDGE SFC-ALOFT OVERHEAD ON SATURDAY WILL BE
SHUNTED SOUTH AS THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC MAKE THEIR WAY FROM THE MID
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. SOUTHERLY
LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL DEVELOP BY LATE SATURDAY AND PERSIST THROUGH THE
PERIOD. THIS WILL RESULT IN A WARM...MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS
ACROSS THE AREA...FAVORABLE FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION. PRECIPITABLE
WATERS WILL SURGE TO 2.25 INCHES BY SUNDAY AND REMAIN IN EXCESS OF
TWO INCHES THROUGH TUESDAY. THEREFORE LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WOULD
BE EXPECTED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SHOWERS/TSTMS. MID-LEVEL TROUGH
AXIS WILL MOVE OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY AND DRYING IN THE H7-H3 LAYER
SHOULD RESULT IN LESSER COVERAGE OF CONVECTION.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...A BAND OF LIGHT SHOWERS IS TRAINING OVER THE SAME
PORTION OF NORTH CAROLINA...AND WILL AFFECT LBT AND ILM THROUGH
19Z OR SO...WITH OTHER ISOLATED/SCATTERED STUFF POPPING UP THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. CEILINGS WILL BE PREDOMINATELY MVFR...BUT
WILL BOUNCE AROUND FROM IFR TO VFR AT TIMES. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
WILL END THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT SAGS SOUTH. SOUTHERN TERMINALS
MAY STILL GET A SHOWER OR TWO THIS EVENING. OVERNIGHT...FOG MAY
LIKELY COME INTO THE PICTURE...DEPENDING ON HOW PREVALENT THE MID
CLOUD CEILING IS. HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR AT LEAST MVFR...WITH IFR
POSSIBLE TOWARD MORNING. THURSDAY...BECOMING VFR WITH LITTLE
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR THROUGH SATURDAY. A CHANCE FOR SCATTERED
CONVECTION SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 135 PM WEDNESDAY...A SURFACE COLD FRONT IS TRANSECTING THE
MARINE WATERS AND IT APPROACHING FRYING PAN SHOALS. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWLY SHIFTING
SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT AND THE BOUNDARY MAY ONLY MAKE IT TO THE
WATERS OF GEORGETOWN COUNTY BY DAY BREAK. THE LATEST LOCAL WAVE
MODEL IS DEPICTING SEAS OF 2 TO 4 FEET.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...EXPECT TO SEE E TO NE WINDS AROUND 10 KT
THURSDAY MORNING GRADUALLY VEER TO THE SOUTH BY FRIDAY EVENING AND
REMAIN AROUND 10 KT OR LESS WITH A WEAK GRADIENT IN PLACE. SEAS
SHOULD REMAIN 3 FT OR LESS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...A SURFACE RIDGE CENTERED SOUTHEAST OF CAPE
FEAR SATURDAY WILL COMBINE WITH A TROUGH ACROSS THE SANDHILLS AND
PEE DEE REGION TO PRODUCE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE WATERS. THE
INLAND TROUGH WILL WEAKEN ON SUNDAY...AND AS A RESULT...FLOW WILL
BACK MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH. THE GRADIENT MAY TIGHTEN SLIGHTLY
MONDAY AS THE FRONT GETS CLOSERS TO THE AREA. SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN 15 KT OR LESS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A RESULT OF A RELATIVELY
BENIGN PRESSURE GRADIENT.
