AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
330 PM EDT TUE JUN 25 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED WELL OFFSHORE COMBINED WITH WEAK
LOW PRESSURE INLAND...WILL MAINTAIN HUMID CONDITIONS WITH A GOOD
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. A
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE EASTERN CAROLINAS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...STRONG CONVECTION COULD THREATEN NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF ROBESON AND BLADEN COUNTIES THROUGH THE MID AFTERNOON
HOURS. VAPOR ANIMATIONS SHOW AN UPPER IMPULSE MOVING INTO RALEIGHS
FORECAST AREA COULD SUSTAIN THIS ACTIVITY AS THE CORES TRACK ENE
OVER OUR VERY NORTHERN ZONES. DARLINGTON COUNTY ALSO MAY SEE
ISOLATED BUT STRONG STORMS THROUGH 500 PM. ALSO...ISOLATED ACTIVITY
IS LIKELY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONT CLOSER
TO THE COAST...BUT LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT AND SOME DRY MID-LEVEL
AIR SHOULD KEEP THIS ACTIVITY FROM GETTING VERY STRONG.
DIURNAL COOLING WILL LIKELY REMOVE STORM INTENSITY AND COVERAGE
INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. MINIMUM TEMPS SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO
THAT OF LAST NIGHT WITH LOW 70S INLAND AND MIDDLE 70S CLOSER TO
THE COAST. WILL INCREASE CLOUD COVER LATE TONIGHT WITH STRATUS
AND LOW-LEVEL SATURATION EXPECTED LATE. PATCHY FOG IS LIKELY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...FLAT MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL WEAKEN THROUGH THE
PERIOD AS FIRST SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES OVERHEAD AND THEN LONGWAVE 5H
TROUGH SETS UP OVER THE EAST COAST. AT THE SURFACE BERMUDA HIGH AND
PIEDMONT TROUGH WILL BE THE SIGNIFICANT FEATURES OF NOTE. DEEP
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP GULF MOISTURE INTO
THE REGION. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL HANG IN THE 1.8 TO 2
INCH RANGE THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. SEA BREEZE AND PIEDMONT
TROUGH CONVERGENCE AND DIURNAL INSTABILITY WILL HELP GENERATE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BOTH DAYS.
TIMING SHORTWAVE ARRIVAL WED WILL BE KEY TO POP FORECAST. IT
CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE WAVE ARRIVES A LITTLE TOO EARLY TO ENHANCE
CONVECTION AND SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE WAVE STARTS TO INCREASE
DURING PEAK HEATING. STILL THINK STORMS WILL DEVELOP BUT COVERAGE
IS LIKELY TO BE LESS AND CONCENTRATED FARTHER INLAND. THU WILL BE
A DIFFERENT STORY. STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AS THE 5H
TROUGH DIGS SOUTH AND LOW LEVELS WARM ALONG WITH INCREASING
DIVERGENCE ALOFT SHOULD LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE OF STORMS IN
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER DO NOT THINK THERE WILL BE
VERY MANY STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EITHER DAY THOUGH HEAVY RAIN
AND FLOODING CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT GIVEN DEEP MOISTURE AND SLOW
STORM MOTIONS.
TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 80S TO LOW 90S DEPENDING ON
PROXIMITY TO CONVECTION AND CLOUD COVER. LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOW TO
MID 70S.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM TUESDAY...BIG CHANGES TO THE UPPER PATTERN DURING THE
EXTENDED...BUT LITTLE SENSIBLE WEATHER DIFFERENCES TO BE EXPERIENCED
ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS. 600DM RIDGE AT 5H EXPANDS ACROSS THE
SW...CENTERED OVER THE 4-CORNERS REGION...FORCING A DEEPENING
EASTERN CONUS TROUGH. LONGWAVE PATTERN BECOMES INCREASINGLY
AMPLIFIED...WITH THE EASTERN TROUGH BOOKENDED BY LARGE RIDGES BOTH
UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM. THIS CAUSES THE LONGITUDINAL FLOW TO COME
TO A SLOW/HALT...AND THE EASTERN TROUGH WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
EXTENDED. HOWEVER...WITH TROUGH AXIS REMAINING WELL WEST OF THE
AREA...DEEP SW FLOW WILL ADVECT TREMENDOUS MOISTURE AGAIN INTO THE
COLUMN...EVEN AS BERMUDA HIGH SLOWLY BREAKS DOWN. THIS SUPPORTS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A VERY WET PERIOD RETURNING TO THE CAROLINAS...AND
SAT-MON COULD BE EVEN WETTER THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN. WPC
QPF GRAPHICS SUPPORT THIS...AS CHANNELED MOISTURE TAPS THE GULF OF
MEXICO AND STREAMS RIGHT INTO THE AREA. FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE CHC
POP THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH HIGHS RIGHT AROUND CLIMO AND LOWS JUST A
BIT ABOVE.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...STEERING FLOW MAY KEEP ISOLATED CELLS NEAR THE COAST
AND THE INLAND TERMINALS WILL SEE CONVECTION AFTER 19Z. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME ISOLATED AFTER 22Z. TONIGHT...MID
AND HIGH CLOUD DEBRIS WITH SOME BRIEF STRATUS POSSIBLE BEFORE
SUNRISE. WEDNESDAY...MORE OF THE SAME. CONVECTION MAY HAVE BETTER
COVERAGE TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...ISO/SCT AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND T-STORMS THROUGH
SUNDAY WITH LOCALIZED PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...SW 10-15 KT WINDS TO PREVAIL ON THE WATERS
THROUGH TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY. SEAS 3 FT IN A MIX OF 2-3 FT
SSW WAVES EVERY 4-6 SECONDS AND SE WAVES 1-2 FEET EVERY 7-9
SECONDS. ISOLATED TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THE WATERS THROUGH
DAYBREAK TUESDAY.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH WATERS BETWEEN BERMUDA HIGH AND PIEDMONT TROUGH. SPEEDS ON WED
WILL BE 10 TO 15 KT BUT TIGHTENING GRADIENT ON THU WILL RESULT IN
SPEEDS INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 KT IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SEAS
2 TO 4 FT WED INCREASE TO 3 TO 5 FT THU WITH INCREASING SOUTHWEST
FLOW.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED WELL OFFSHORE AND COLD
FRONT STALLED WELL INLAND FROM THE COAST...WILL KEEP A CONTINUOUSLY
TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE WATERS. THIS HELPS SW WINDS
RISE TO AROUND 20 KTS BOTH DAYS...AND SEAS BUILD IN RESPONSE TO
THESE GUSTY WINDS. WAVE HEIGHTS WILL BE 4-7 FT THROUGH THE
PERIOD...AND AN EXTENDED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS POSSIBLE FOR ALL
LOCAL WATERS.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE LATE TONIGHT WILL AGAIN
BREACH THE 5.5 FT MLLW SHALLOW COASTAL FLOOD THRESHOLD...AS
MEASURED BY THE ILM TIDE GAGE ALONG THE CAPE FEAR RIVER OF
DOWNTOWN WILMINGTON. THE WINDOW FOR THE COASTAL FLOOD THREAT WILL
