AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
403 PM EDT THU JUN 27 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEK WITH
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
INLAND BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. A
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE WEEKEND
BUT STALL OUT WEST OF THE AREA. THE REGION WILL REMAIN IN A MOIST
SOUTHWEST FLOW THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 345 PM THU...SFC HIGH PRES REMAINS CENTERED OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST WITH LEE TROUGHING ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND A
WEAK AREA OF LOW PRES MOVING INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. A
ROBUST UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON IN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. NUMEROUS STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND
PRESENTLY CENTERED AROUND A LINE FROM NEAR COLUMBIA SOUTH TO
JACKSONVILLE. SO FAR THEY HAVE REMAINED SUB-SEVERE BUT CANNOT RULE
OUT ISOLATED SEVERE IS POSSIBLE WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR AROUND
15-25 KT AND ADDED FORCING FROM THE SHORTWAVE. EXPECT STORMS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PIEDMONT PROPAGATING INTO THE REGION.
STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING BUT SEVERAL MODELS
INDICATING SHOWERS TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
COAST...WITH CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT AND A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TRANSITING
THE REGION AND WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST. LOWS
TONIGHT EXPECTED IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM THU...THE UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFIES ACROSS THE EASTERN
CONUS FRI WITH CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT. STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY
LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL MAINTAIN THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT
ACROSS THE REGION. EXPECT SCATTERED CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THROUGH
PEAK HEATING ONCE AGAIN...HOWEVER COVERAGE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS
WIDESPREAD AS THIS AFTERNOON WITHOUT DISCERNIBLE UPPER LEVEL
FORCING. LOW LEVEL BULK SHEAR DOES INCREASE A LITTLE MORE...TO
AROUND 25-30 KT...TOMORROW AFTERNOON BRINGING A LITTLE BETTER
CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS AND SPC HAS A GOOD PORTION OF THE AREA IN
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE
THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT BUT COULD ALSO SEE AN ISOLATED TORNADO.
ADDITIONAL THREATS INCLUDE FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN WHICH
MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED MINOR FLOODING. LITTLE CHANGE IN LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES BRING HIGHS AROUND 90 INLAND AND MID 80S ALONG THE
COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PROLONGED PERIOD OF WET AND UNSETTLED WEATHER EXPECTED ACROSS THE
REGION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST LOCALIZED FLOODING THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. BLOCKY PATTERN WILL SET UP WITH SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND DEVELOPING TROF OVER THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. THIS WILL LEAD TO PERSISTENT MOIST SSW FLOW OVER THE AREA
WITH HIGH PRECIP WATER VALUES THRU THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.
ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE LOTS OF CLOUDS AROUND SHLD SEE ENOUGH HEATING TO
LEAD TO DECENT INSTAB DURING THE AFTN HOURS AND EXPECT STRONGEST
STORMS TO OCCUR DURING THE AFTN AND EARLY EVENING HRS. THERE WILL BE
WEAK IMPULSES CROSSING ALOFT AND THIS WILL LIKELY KEEP SHRA AND SOME
TSRA GOING EVEN AT NIGHT. FOR NOW HAVE MAINLY HIGH CHC POPS THRU THE
EXTENDED PERIOD...DID GO WITH LIKELY FRI NIGHT INTO EARLY SAT PER
MODEL AGREEMENT FOCUSING QPF ACROSS THE REGION DURING THIS TIME. THE
RIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL STRENGTHEN NEXT WEEK AND THIS MAY
EVENTUALLY LEAD TO LESS CONVECTION...BUT FOR NOW STILL LOOKS WET
THRU AT LEAST WED.
LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN AS THINK SOME SPOTS WILL SEE
5+ INCHES OF RAIN THRU THE EXTENDED PERIOD. WE MAY EVENTUALLY
NEED TO ISSUE FLOOD WATCHES BUT PLENTY OF TIME TO SEE HOW SPATIAL
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF PRECIP EVOLVES. SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...HOWEVER THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A THREAT OF
AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM JUST ABOUT ANY DAY.
WARM/MUGGY CONDITIONS CONTINUE THRU THE PERIOD WITH LOWS IN THE 70S
AND HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM THU...SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON/EVENING AS A FRONT APPROACHES THE
EAST COAST. ANTICIPATE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY WILL
INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT.
GIVEN THIS...EXPECT VFR/MVFR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SWLY
WINDS WILL SUBSIDE AFTER SUNSET BUT STILL BE ELEVATED. SHOWERS
WILL ALSO STILL LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. HAVE MOST TAF
LOCATIONS DROPPING CLOSE TO IFR CIGS FOR A BRIEF DURATION EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING. ALTHOUGH...THIS ACTIVITY COULD BE SOMEWHAT
LIMITED DUE TO WIND. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE LESS
WIDESPREAD TOMORROW WITH MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY ALONG/OFF THE COAST.
WINDS WILL INCREASE A BIT FROM THE SW BY MID- DAY.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
GIVEN THE RELATIVE LITTLE CHANGE OF AN AIRMASS CHARACTERIZED BY
MOIST SSW FLOW...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR OCNL REDUCTIONS
IN CIGS AND VSBYS IN STRATUS AND FOG DURING THE OVERNIGHT HRS THRU
EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL ALSO HAVE BOUTS OF CONVECTION THAT WILL
PRODUCE PERIODS OF MVFR TO POSS IFR CONDITIONS AT JUST ABOUT
ANYTIME OF DAY. OUTSIDE OF THE CONVECTION EXPECT MAINLY VFR MID
MORNING THRU THE EVENING HRS.
&&
.MARINE...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM THU...TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENTS ACROSS THE WATERS
BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING
INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS HAVE INCREASED
TO 15-25 KT ACROSS THE WATERS WITH GUSTS TO 30 KT IN SOME
LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PAMLICO SOUND...AND EXPECT
SIMILAR WINDS TO OCCUR THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. WAVES HAVE BUILT TO
3-5 FT THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TO 4-7 FT TONIGHT
AND FRIDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM
FOR ALL WATERS EXCEPT ENDING ALBEMARLE SOUND WHICH ENDS FRI
MORNING WHERE GUSTINESS IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH SOME...HOWEVER MAY
BE EXTENDED IF WINDS REMAIN ELEVATED.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ROUGH BOATING CONDITIONS EXPECTED THRU MUCH OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. STAGNANT PATTERN OF HIGH PRES OFFSHORE AND A TROUGH OF LOW
PRES TO THE W WILL KEEP SSW WINDS GOING AT 15 TO 25 KTS ALONG THE
CST. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO AVG 4 TO 7 FEET OVER THE CSTL WTRS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL CONT FOR PAMLICO SOUND THRU SUNDAY
AFTN AND FOR THE CSTL WTRS THRU MONDAY NIGHT AND MAY NEED TO BE
EXTENDED BEYOND THAT IF SEAS REMAIN ELEVATED IN THE MODERATE TO
STRONG SSW FLOW. THERE WILL ALSO BE DECENT CVRG OF SHRA AND TSRA
AT TIMES THRU THE PERIOD.
