AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
143 PM EDT WED APR 30 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT ACROSS TENNESSEE AND MISSISSIPPI WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
EASTERN CAROLINAS THURSDAY NIGHT. WAVES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED...WITH A RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH TONIGHT AND
POSSIBLY ON THURSDAY AS WELL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY WEATHER
FOR THE WEEKEND... ALTHOUGH A FRONT MAY APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE
NORTH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1100 AM WEDNESDAY...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE
BLOSSOMING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THESE THUNDERSTORMS WERE
TRAINING...PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. TWO TO
THREE INCHES OF RAIN WILL FALL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN AREAS
WHERE THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN OVER THE SAME GENERAL AREA.
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER DOES EXIST RIGHT THROUGH TONIGHT
AHEAD OF A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT. BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE MARGINAL...
30 TO 35 KT...BUT LCLS WILL BE DROPPING...ESPECIALLY LATE DAY/THIS
EVE INTO TONIGHT...THUS THERE IS A SMALL RISK FOR TORNADOES. LOW WET
BULB ZERO HEIGHTS AND 50 DBZ CORE HEIGHTS INDICATE ANY STRONG
UPDRAFTS MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL. WET MICROBURSTS MAY PRODUCE
DAMAGING WINDS. THE SEVERE RISK WILL PERSIST INTO THIS EVE.
THERE MAY BE A BREAK IN THE CONVECTION LATER IN THE EVE. THE
APPROACH OF A TROUGH LATE TONIGHT AND THU MORNING SHOULD BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND ALTHOUGH THE RISK OF
SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD BE LESS GIVEN THE TIME OF DAY...THE RISK WILL
BE NON-ZERO.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM WEDNESDAY...COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH STACKED LOW
MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES WILL BE WEST OF THE AREA AS THE PERIOD
BEGINS. ALTHOUGH THE FRONT WILL NOT BE FAR FROM THE AREA IT WILL
TAKE A LONG TIME TO PUSH OFFSHORE...NOT DOING SO UNTIL THU NIGHT AT
WHICH POINT IT ENDS UP STALLING ALONG OR JUST OFF THE COAST. THE
ALMOST CUTOFF NATURE OF THE 5H LOW OVER THE UPPER MID-WEST AND
OCCLUDED NATURE OF THE PARENT LOW TRANSLATE TO SLOW SURFACE FEATURE
MOVEMENT. IT ALSO MEANS THE COLD PUSH BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE OF
LIMITED STRENGTH AND DURATION. TEMPS ABOVE CLIMO THU/THU NIGHT WILL
BE KNOCKED BELOW CLIMO FOR FRI/FRI NIGHT BUT ONLY BY A FEW DEGREES.
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE WEAK AND ONCE THE NOCTURNAL JET
MIXES OUT THERE WILL BE NO LOW LEVEL JETTING THU AND FLOW WILL BE
UNIDIRECTIONAL. AIRMASS WILL STILL BE UNSTABLE...ESPECIALLY ONCE
TEMPS WARM UP A BIT. HOWEVER DIURNAL HEATING WILL BE TEMPERED BY
CLOUD COVER SO INSTABILITY WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED. THE RESULT
SHOULD BE A DAY WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT WITH
INTENSITY LIKELY TO FALL SHORT OF SEVERE CRITERIA. CAN SEE NO REASON
TO ARGUE WITH INHERITED LIKELY POP THU INTO THU NIGHT.
FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED OFF THE COAST FRI AND FRI NIGHT WITH DEEP
SOUTHWEST FLOW KEEPING MID LEVELS MOIST. WESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW
WILL WORK TO DRY THE LOW LEVEL OUT...SOMETHING READILY APPARENT IN
FORECAST SOUNDINGS. ALTHOUGH THE LOW LEVEL DRY AIR WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWERS. COMBINATION OF DEEP
MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND PVA SPREADING OVER THE AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON COULD GENERATE SOME WEAK ACTIVITY. BEST PRECIP CHANCES
WILL BE ALONG THE COAST AND HAVE LOW CHC POP AT THE COAST DECREASING
TO SLIGHT CHC POP FARTHER INLAND. ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO
THE OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST WHERE ACTIVITY OVER THE
WATERS COULD BRUSH THE COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM WEDNESDAY...PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH MID LEVEL TROUGHING
IN PLACE BUT A TRANSITION TO MID LEVEL RIDGING FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK
IS EXPECTED. MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS REMAINS WEST OF THE AREA SAT WITH
STALLED FRONT LINGERING JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. DEEPEST
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE INTO SUN BUT WEAKLY DIVERGENT FLOW
ALOFT AND PRESENCE OF A SHORTWAVE OR TWO COULD GENERATE SOME LIGHT
PRECIP ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND OVER THE WATERS.
SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST LATE
SAT...MOVING OFF THE GA/SC COAST SAT NIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL HELP
PUSH THE STALLED FRONT OUT TO SEA EARLY NEXT WEEK AND BRING AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER. THERE WILL BE A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT THAT DROPS SOUTH AND STALLS IN THE AREA MON INTO TUE. FRONT
WILL PASS DRY AS IT LACKS DEEP MOISTURE AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS
QUITE WEAK. BUILDING MID LEVEL RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH EXPANDING
NORTH WILL PUSH THE FRONT BACK NORTH TUE NIGHT.
WEAK COLD ADVECTION AND LINGERING CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP HIGHS A
LITTLE BELOW CLIMO SAT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. SUNSHINE ON SUN
WILL PUSH TEMPS NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO. SIMILAR TEMPERATES
ARE EXPECTED MON/TUE DESPITE PRESENCE OF WEAK FRONT.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND POSSIBLY INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. SOME
STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE.
LATEST RADAR DEPICTS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING ACROSS THE
AREA ATTM. THIS ACTIVITY DEVELOPED EARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY
EXPECTED...AND HAS DISRUPTED OUR CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER LATER
TODAY AS THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT HAS DECREASED IN
CHARACTERISTICS. HOWEVER...CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RE-DEVELOPING AGAIN LATER THIS EVENING
PER SOME MODEL GUIDANCE. TRICKY FORECAST FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
AS TO IF ANY PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. GIVEN
LOWERED CONFIDENCE HAVE KEPT WITH VCSH THROUGH PARTS OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS MVFR/VFR PREVAIL GIVEN VARYING CIG HEIGHTS.
INTO THE MORNING HOURS RE-DEVELOPMENT OF SHRA/TSRA IS
POSSIBLE...BUT AGAIN GIVEN LOWERED CONFIDENCE ON TIMING AND AREA
OF ACTIVITY...HAVE LEFT AS VCSH ATTM. WINDS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD
WILL REMAIN SOUTH- SOUTHWEST WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS
WITH INTERMITTENT GUSTS UP TO 20 TO 25 KTS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING
AND THEN AGAIN ON THURSDAY.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE FOR SHOWERS EARLY NEXT WEEK. OTHERWISE
EXPECT VFR.

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1100 AM WEDNESDAY...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN PLACE.
SOUTH WINDS OF 10 TO 20 KT WILL GUST TO 25 KT THROUGH TONIGHT.
PERSISTENT SOUTH WINDS WILL BUILD SEAS TO 4 TO 7 FT. STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO THU NIGHT.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM WEDNESDAY...STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE THU
AHEAD OF A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT. SCA HEADLINES WILL LIKELY NEED TO
BE CARRIED INTO THU AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY EARLY EVENING FOR SOME
ZONES. ALTHOUGH HIGHEST SPEEDS ARE LIKELY TO BE AROUND 20 KT
PROLONGED PERIOD OF ENHANCED SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BUILD SEAS OVER 6
FT. FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE THU NIGHT WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO NORTHWEST
AND SPEEDS DROPPING TO 10 TO 15 KT BY FRI MORNING. GRADIENT REMAINS
SOMEWHAT PINCHED AND WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL STAY IN THE 10 TO
15 KT RANGE THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. SEAS 4 TO 7 FT THU WILL
DROP TO 3 TO 5 FT THU NIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. SEAS
CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE FRI DROPPING FROM 2 TO 4 FT AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD 2 TO 3 FT BY SAT MORNING.
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM WEDNESDAY...FRONT STALLED EAST OF THE WATERS SAT WILL
MOVE FARTHER OFFSHORE SUN. WEAK GRADIENT WILL BE IN PLACE DURING THE
PERIOD KEEPING WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW AROUND 10 KT FOR MUCH OF THE
PERIOD. SEAS WILL BE AROUND 2 FT THROUGH THE PERIOD.
