NWS Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 18, 2:06 PM EST, 3 hours 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 306 PM EDT TUE JUN 18 2013 .SYNOPSIS... ENHANCED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL PREVAIL AHEAD AND ALONG A COLD FRONT...WHICH WILL SLOW DOWN AS IT APPROACHES THE COAST EARLY ON WEDNESDAY. DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT...MAKING ITS WAY SOUTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THE FRONT WILL WEAKEN TO THE SOUTH LEAVING A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WHICH MAY MOVE BACK TOWARD THE COAST AND AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER HAS LIMITED SURFACE HEATING AND ATTENDANT CONVECTION TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...ISOLATED CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO FIRE OFF WHILE MOVING QUICKLY FROM SW TO NE. ANALYSIS OF MORNING SOUNDINGS SHOWED A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AND VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE TODAY. LAPSE RATES WERE NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE...BUT A COUPLE OF MAJOR TRIGGERS IN THE FORM OF AN UPPER SHORT WAVE FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND A COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT COULD ACT TO SPARK STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION. SPC HAS AREA IN THE SLIGHT RISK CATEGORY FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING FROM DAMAGING WINDS. THIS LOOKS REASONABLE CONSIDERING JUICY COLUMN AND POTENTIAL FOR WET-MICROBURSTS. LOCALIZED FLOODING REMAINS A THREAT ALSO...ESPECIALLY UNDER TRAINING STORMS. EXPECT SHOWER AND STORM COVERAGE TO INCREASE INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS SHORT WAVE APPROACHES. A CLUSTER OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS NOW OVER GEORGIA IS HEADED IN THIS GENERAL DIRECTION AND COULD BRUSH OUR SOUTHERNMOST COUNTIES IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER. THIS WILL BE ONE OF OUR PRIMARY AREAS OF CONCERN IN THE VERY NEAR TERM. COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT AND SHOULD BE JUST OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK. MODEL CONSENSUS HANGS IT UP JUST ALONG THE COAST THOUGH...SO DO NOT EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF DRYING IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT. EXPECT SEASONAL TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT...WITH MINIMUMS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S WELL INLAND TO THE MID 70S AT THE BEACHES. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...FRONT ALIGNED RIGHT ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST WED MORNING. AS MID TO UPPER TROUGH MOVES SLOWLY EAST THE WINDS REMAIN SW ALOFT ALLOWING FOR FRONT TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL ALSO MAINTAIN SOME MID TO UPPER LEVEL ENERGY ALONG THE COASTAL CAROLINAS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE SEA BREEZE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERGENCE WED AFTN AND THEREFORE EXPECT ACTIVE WEATHER MAINLY ALONG THE COAST. PCP WATER VALUES WILL BE CONCENTRATED ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST WITH VALUES OVER 2 INCHES. A VERY TIGHT MOISTURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP AS DRIER HIGH PRESSURE ADVECTS IN FROM THE NORTH TO NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT. INLAND AREAS COULD SEE A VERY DRY AND SUNNY DAY BUT WITH THE FRONT LINED UP ALONG THE COAST...WILL KEEP PCP ACROSS MOST OF LOCAL CWA WITH HIGHEST POPS ALONG THE COAST. AS FOR TEMPS...A SLIGHT COOLING BEHIND FRONT AND CLOUDS AND PCP ALONG FRONT WILL KEEP TEMPS BELOW NORMAL FOR THE MOST PART. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE 80 TO 83 RANGE CLOSER TO THE COAST AND AROUND 85 FURTHER INLAND. TEMPS WED NIGHT SHOULD BE BETWEEN 65 AND 70. BY THURS THE FRONT SHOULD PUSH FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND EAST TO ALLOW FOR A DRY DAY. LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CARRY IN DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR AS HIGH PRESSURE NOSES DOWN FROM THE NORTHEAST. PCP WATER VALUES WILL DROP DOWN TO LESS THAN AN INCH ACROSS INLAND AREAS. OVERALL EXPECT CLEARING SKIES AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE ON THURSDAY WITH TEMPS RUNNING SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...HIGHS IN THE MID 80S AND LOWS IN THE MID 60S FOR THE MOST PART. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...A WARMING TREND WITH MORE TYPICAL SUMMER-LIKE CONDITIONS EXPECTED AS WE OFFICIALLY ENTER CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMER...WITH THE SUMMER SOLSTICE OCCURRING EARLY FRIDAY MORNING HERE IN THE CAROLINAS. WHILE MUCH OF THE PERIOD WILL FEATURE BUILDING MID-LEVEL RIDGING AND A BERMUDA SURFACE HIGH COMBINING TO CREATE TEMPS NEAR-TO-SLIGHTLY-ABOVE NORMAL AND DIURNAL CONVECTIVE CHANCES...THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD IS SLIGHTLY MORE UNCERTAIN. WHILE AN ELONGATED AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL ARCH DOWN FROM THE NORTHEAST COAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BEFORE MIGRATING TO A BERMUDA-RIDGE POSITION...THIS WILL GENERALLY CREATE VERY DRY AIR ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER...GFS/ECMWF BOTH SUGGEST A COASTAL TROUGH JUST OFFSHORE THE CAROLINAS TRYING TO ADVECT ONSHORE SATURDAY AS SYNOPTIC FLOW BECOMES EASTERLY AROUND MIGRATING SURFACE HIGH. WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT AND VERY DRY ANTECEDENT AIR...DO NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD PRECIP WITH THIS FEATURE. HOWEVER...WILL INCREASE POP ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST...BUT KEEP CAPPED AT LOW-CHC. AS ANY REMNANT COASTAL TROUGH ERODES LATE SATURDAY...BERMUDA RIDGING BECOMES DOMINANT SUN-TUE WITH INCREASING TEMPS AND TYPICAL DIURNAL CONVECTIVE CHANCES. WITH HEIGHTS BUILDING ALOFT AT THE SAME TIME...THIS WILL SUPPRESS WIDESPREAD CONVECTION...AND THUS WILL KEEP POP ONLY AT SCHC/SILENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 18Z...THIS AFTERNOON...SHOWERS DEVELOPED ALONG THE SEA BREEZE NEAR KILM EARLIER BUT HAVE SINCE DISSIPATED. SW-WSW FLOW THROUGH THE MID LEVELS SUGGESTS THE THE SEA BREEZE WILL NOT PENETRATE TOO MUCH FURTHER INLAND. MODELS SUGGESTS THE SIGNIFICANT LIFT NEAR KILM WILL SUBSIDE THIS AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO ONLY MENTION VCSH FOR THE COASTAL TERMINALS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SHOULD SEE A CONTINUED LIFT OF CLOUD BASES THUS DESPITE THE PROXIMITY OF THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY RESULTING IN LOW VFR CIGS. OTHER SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE APPROACHING KFLO FROM THE WEST BUT CONVECTION IS NOT IMPRESSIVE. WILL INDICATE VCTS AT KFLO/KLBT 21-22Z. CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL OCCUR 00-02Z. VCTS SHOULD DEVELOP AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS 01-02Z WITH MODERATE CONFIDENCE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS 02-04Z. PREDOMINATE MVFR/TEMPO IFR EXPECTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY. CONVECTION WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS AFTER MIDNIGHT. MVFR CEILINGS WILL DEVELOP AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. MVFR CEILINGS WILL LIFT TO VFR AT KFLO/KLBT SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE...BUT COULD PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF VALID PERIOD AS SHOWER/TSTMS REDEVELOP AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY WEDNESDAY WITH MVFR/TEMPO IFR POSSIBLE. VFR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...TIGHTENING GRADIENT IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SWLY WINDS INTO THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. SEAS WILL BUILD AS A RESULT...WITH 4 TO 6 FT SEAS OVER OUR NC WATERS AND 3 TO 5 FT DOWN SOUTH. RAISING A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR NC WATERS WITH THIS PACKAGE...AND EXERCISE CAUTION STATEMENTS FOR OUR SC WATERS. SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...COLD FRONT WILL LINE UP JUST OVER THE WATERS ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST EARLY WED. TO THE WEST AND NORTH OF THE FRONT THE WINDS WILL VEER TO THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AND TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE FRONT THE WINDS WILL STAY W-SW. OVERALL EXPECT STRONGER WESTERLY WINDS TO LIGHTEN UP RIGHT AROUND DAYBREAK AS FRONT SLOWS ALONG COAST. WINDS WILL BE VARIABLE THROUGH THE DAY ON WED WITH A LIGHT OFF SHORE FLOW CLOSE TO THE COAST AND W TO SW WINDS IN THE OUTER WATERS THROUGH MOST OF WED. THE LIGHTER OFF SHORE FLOW WILL ALLOW SEAS TO RELAX ESPECIALLY NEAR SHORE...DOWN TO 1 TO 2 FT. SEAS IN THE OUTER WATERS WILL DROP BELOW SCA BUT WILL HOLD UP IN STRONGER SW TO W FLOW UP AROUND 3 TO 4 FT WITH SOME 5 FTERS IN OUTERMOST WATERS MOST OF THE DAY. AS COLD FRONT PUSHES FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH WED NIGHT INTO THURS...A SURGE OF NORTHEAST WINDS UP TO A SOLID 15KTS WILL DEVELOP. THIS WILL KEEP SEAS 3 TO 4 FT IN MOST WATERS EXCEPT SOUTH OF CAPE FEAR WHERE WATERS WILL BE BLOCKED FROM NORTHEAST FLOW KEEPING THE HEIGHTS AROUND 1 TO 2 FT. LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...GUSTY NE WINDS TO START THE PERIOD AS AN ELONGATED AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHES DOWN TO THE SOUTHEAST FROM NEW ENGLAND. AT THE SAME TIME...DECAYING COLD FRONT OFFSHORE WILL WAVER JUST OUTSIDE THE WATERS...THUS PINCHING THE GRADIENT AND CREATING 15 KT NE WINDS FRIDAY AND EARLY SATURDAY. THIS FRONT/TROUGH OFFSHORE WILL SLOWLY WORK BACK TOWARDS THE COAST SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MIGRATES OFFSHORE TURNING THE PREDOMINANT FLOW TO THE E/SE...WITH EASING SPEEDS...FALLING TO 10 KTS OR LESS. SEAS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE FORMED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF A SE GROUND SWELL AND A WIND CHOP...NE ON FRIDAY AND SOUTHERLY SAT/SUN. SEAS WILL BE 2-4 FT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...FALLING TO 1-3 FT ON SUNDAY. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
