AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
311 PM EDT THU AUG 22 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY. THIS FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA
BY EARLY SATURDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL USHER IN COOLER AND DRIER
CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A WARMING TREND WILL
TAKE PLACE MID WEEK NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 3 PM THURSDAY...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS SHOWING THE SHORTWAVE
CONTINUING TO MOVE ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC AND EASTERN CAROLINAS.
LINES OF CONVECTION HAVE FORMED AND ARE MOVING TOWARD THE
EAST-SOUTHEAST. AT THIS TIME THE CONVECTION IS STAYING BELOW SEVERE
LIMITS AND IS MOVING AROUND 10 KNOTS. WITH THE LINEAR CONFIGURATION
THAT HAS DEVELOPED IT APPEARS THAT ANY THREAT FOR FLOODING IS SMALL.
THE
LATEST HRRR IS SHOWING THE CONVECTION CONTINUING TO THE COAST AND
DYING AS IT MOVES OUT OVER THE WATERS. EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
OVERNIGHT MINIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BACK INTO THE
LOWER 70S INLAND AND MID 70S AT THE BEACHES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...CONCERN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM REVOLVES
AROUND A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL DROP THROUGH THE AREA LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...AND ITS RELATED CONVECTION POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY WILL BEGIN RATHER NICE...AND WILL BE A WARM DAY. SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND A DEPARTING SHORTWAVE WITH SUBTLE HEIGHT INCREASES ALOFT WILL
CREATE SUBSTANTIAL EARLY SUNSHINE. THIS WILL DRIVE TEMPS UP TO
AROUND 90 AWAY FROM THE BEACHES. THESE WARM TEMPS COMBINED LOW-LEVEL
SW FLOW AROUND RETREATING HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE WILL CREATE
SIGNIFICANT INSTABILITY...WITH SBCAPE AND MLCAPE APPROACHING 2000
J/KG FRIDAY AFTN. IN ADDITION...LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES FROM SURFACE
TO 850MB WILL BE QUITE STEEP...AND DCAPE REACHES 600-1000 J/KG
FRIDAY EVE. THESE ALL SUGGEST TSTM POTENTIAL. HOWEVER...BULK SHEAR
IS QUITE LOW...AND PWATS ARE ONLY ABOUT 1.8 INCHES...LIMITING SEVERE
POTENTIAL. SPC HAS PLACED THE AREA IN A "SEE TEXT" FOR THE SWODY2 AS
THE FRONT APPROACHES INTO THIS UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER...FEEL
SEVERE POTENTIAL IS QUITE LOW HERE SINCE THE FRONT WILL NOT CROSS
UNTIL VERY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...AND SOUNDINGS ARE NOT SO SATURATED
THAT WET-MICROBURSTS ARE FAVORABLE. STILL...WITH THE STEEP LOW-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND HIGH INSTABILITY...AN ISOLATED STRONG WIND GUST
CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN ANY AFTN PULSE STORM OR NIGHTTIME CONVECTION
BEFORE THE SURFACE LAYER STABILIZES. THIS MEANS THE MOST LIKELY
PLACE FOR A STRONGER WIND GUST WOULD BE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE
CONVECTION...IF ANY...FRIDAY AFTN...OR ALONG THE FAR NORTHERN TIER
AS THE FRONT APPROACHES FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL NOT MENTION SEVERE IN
GRIDS OR ZONE FORECAST PRODUCT.
FROPA WILL OCCUR OVERNIGHT FRIDAY...AND BY SATURDAY MORNING WILL
HAVE CLEARED THE CWA. COOL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THIS
FRONT...BUT AS NE WINDS DEVELOP...MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL COMMENCE
OFF THE OCEAN...AND IT WILL TAKE MUCH OF SATURDAY BEFORE DRYING OF
THE COLUMN BELOW 700MB OCCURS. THIS CREATES SHOWERS AND CLOUDS MOST
OF THE DAY...WITH CLEARING OCCURRING ONLY BY SATURDAY NIGHT FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH.
TEMPS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE TRICKY DUE TO TIMING OF THE FRONT...BUT
IT APPEARS NEGATIVE 850MB THERMAL ADVECTION HOLDS OFF UNTIL
SATURDAY...SO FRIDAY NIGHT TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE 70 CWA-WIDE. HIGHS
SATURDAY WILL REACH INTO THE LOW 80S...AND HAVE UNDERCUT MOS NUMBERS
A BIT. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL FALL WELL INTO THE 60S AS A MUCH
DRIER AIRMASS MOVES INTO THE REGION.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...MID LEVEL PATTERN WILL BE DOMINATED BY
MASSIVE RIDGING CENTER ACROSS KANSAS WITH AN EASTWARD
EXTENSION/AXIS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH
PRESSURE AXIS WILL INITIALLY BE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC AND IN TIME
WILL BECOME ELONGATED EAST/WEST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. THE EASTERN
EDGE OF THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN AS SEVERAL SHORTWAVES RIDE THE
PERIPHERY AND DIP SOUTHWARD. THERE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE
SEVERAL MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS WITH THIS PATTERN AND ONE IF
NOT MORE MAY BE A FACTOR LATE IN THE PERIOD BUT ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE
TO PINPOINT THIS FAR OUT IN TIME. THUS...THE FORECAST REMAINS DRY
THROUGHOUT.
THE ONLY INTERESTING NOTE REGARDING TEMPERATURES IS THE MEX GUIDANCE
HAS DECREASED SOMEWHAT WITH 61 IN WILMINGTON FOR MONDAY MORNING.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A REASONABLE TREND...COOLER AS CLIMATOLOGY BECOMES
LESS OF A FACTOR WITH TIME AND GEFS 850MB TEMPERATURES ARE 2-3
STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...TERMINALS ARE CURRENTLY VFR AND VFR IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING OUTSIDE OF ANY
PRECIPITATION. AN UPPER IMPULSE IS PROGGED BY MODELS TO MOVE
ACROSS THE TERMINALS. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF VCTS/TEMPO MVFR CONDITIONS
ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AT KMYR/KCRE/KILM AND LOWEST CONFIDENCE AT
KFLO/KLBT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END THIS EVENING WITH
LOSS OF HEATING. IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP
WITH THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF SUB- VFR CONDITIONS AT KFLO/KLBT.
VFR SHOULD DEVELOP AN HOUR OR SO AFTER SUNRISE WITH VFR EXPECTED
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AT ALL TERMINALS.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND T-STORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONT. VFR SUNDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO RIDGE BACK
ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AT OR
LESS THAN 10 KNOTS FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THE
BENIGN CONDITIONS WITH SEAS OF 2 TO 3 FEET. WITH A WEST-NORTHWEST
FLOW...WE MAY SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TRYING TO WORK THEIR WAY
BACK OVER THE WATERS BUT THEY SHOULD ONLY BE AT OR NEAR THE
COASTLINE.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...PRE-FRONTAL AIRMASS FRIDAY WILL TRANSITION
TO POST-FRONTAL SATURDAY THANKS TO A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL DROP
SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE WATERS OVERNIGHT FRIDAY. SW WINDS WILL BE 10-15
KTS MOST OF FRIDAY...BEFORE RAPIDLY SHIFTING TO THE NORTH BY
SATURDAY MORNING AT LESS THAN 10 KTS...WITH A NE SURGE DEVELOPING AT
THE END OF THE PERIOD...INCREASING WINDS TO 15 KTS OR MORE. WAVES
WILL BE NEARLY ENTIRELY FORMED BY THE WIND-WAVE GROUP...WITH 2-3 FT
SEAS FRIDAY CREATED BY SW WIND CHOP...THEN BECOMING 2-4 FT LATE
SATURDAY THANKS TO THE DEVELOPING NE WIND WAVE.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...A FAIRLY BRISK NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL
PREVAIL FOR MOST OF THE DAY SUNDAY WITH SPEEDS 10-15 KNOTS AND
PROBABLY HOVERING MORE TOWARD THE HIGHER END OF THE RANGE. AS HIGH
PRESSURE WEAKENS AND MOVES TO THE SOUTH...WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO
TEN KNOTS OR LESS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. A FURTHER SHIFTING OF THE
HIGH TO BASICALLY OVERHEAD WILL LEAD TO WINDS BASICALLY LIGHT AND
VARIABLE TUESDAY. OVERALL SEAS ARE NEVER REALLY IMPRESSIVE WITH
3-4 FEET SUNDAY TRENDING DOWN TO AROUND TWO FEET TUESDAY.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AS OF 125 PM THURSDAY...THE LATEST TIDE FORECAST FOR THE CAPE FEAR
RIVER IN WILMINGTON IS SHOWING THE RIVER REACHING LEVELS OF MINOR
