Lightning Strike in North Carolina, June 19, 2015

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
321 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO
NEXT WEEK. A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY ACCOMPANY THE HEAT
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS.
HEAT ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE TO BE ISSUED FOR THE POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...WATER VAPOR CHANNEL SHOWING A VOID OF UPPER
FEATURES OR IMPULSES THAT WOULD ENHANCE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON
DIRECTLY OVER NE SC AND SE NC. STRONG SURFACE HEATING HOWEVER AND
HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATERS DO REMAIN OVER THE AREA WITH SATELLITE
DERIVED PWAT ANIMATIONS SHOWING AROUND 1.8 INCHES OVER THE AREA.
WILL HOLD ONTO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION AS LOW-LEVEL
CONVERGENCE STRENGTHENS ALONG THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY...WHILE
DIURNAL HEATING APPROACHES ITS PEAK. NEWLY INITIATED STORMS WILL
MOVE GENERALLY TOWARD THE ENE...WHICH WILL MAINTAIN RAIN CHANCES ALL
THE WAY TO THE COASTAL ZONES THROUGH EVENING. RECENT SURFACE
ANALYSIS SHOWS A WEAK TROUGH POSITIONED FROM CENTRAL NC TO NEAR
CHARLESTON SC...WHICH WILL ALSO SERVE AS A POTENTIAL FOCUS INTO
EVENING. HEAT ADVISORIES REMAIN POSTED THROUGH 700 PM FOR 105 TO 109
DEGREE INDICES. ELEVATED DEWPOINTS REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION.
MINIMUMS INTO EARLY SATURDAY MIDDLE AND UPPER 70S MOST LOCALS AND
AROUND 80 ALONG AREA BEACHES AND THE ICW CORRIDOR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM FRIDAY...THE HOT UPPER RIDGE WILL BE DISPLACED OFF
THE SOUTHEAST COAST THIS WEEKEND AS THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF
TROPICAL STORM BILL MOVES THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES UNFORTUNATELY WILL NOT DROP APPRECIABLY...REMAINING
AROUND +20C ON SATURDAY AND +21C ON SUNDAY. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL BE ENHANCED IN SPEED SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT DUE TO A TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY OF FORMER T.S. BILL...OTHERWISE THERE SHOULD BE FEW IMPACTS
FROM THE SYSTEM.

HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO SOAR WELL INTO THE 90S BOTH SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY...WITH LUMBERTON PROBABLY REACHING 100 DEGREES BOTH DAYS.
THIS IS DUE TO THE HOT AIRMASS...AND FOR LUMBERTON SPECIFICALLY
DUE TO THE FACT CENTRAL ROBESON COUNTY ESCAPED ANY OF THE RAIN
THAT ADDED MOISTURE (AND SUBSEQUENT COOLER SOIL TEMPS AND HIGHER
SOIL HEAT CAPACITY) TO MOST OF THE AREA. NIGHTTIME LOWS WILL BE
STIFLINGLY HOT AND HUMID AS AN ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT AROUND
THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF FORMER T.S. BILL MAINTAINS A HEALTHY
SOUTH- SOUTHWEST BREEZE. LOOK FOR LOWS BOTH NIGHT 75-79 EXCEPT FOR
80-81 WITHIN ABOUT 10 MILES OF THE COAST. HEAT INDICES MAY NOT
DROP BELOW 85 AT NIGHT FOR WILMINGTON...SOUTHPORT...AND MYRTLE
BEACH.

PRECIP CHANCES APPEAR QUITE LIMITED THROUGH THE PERIOD. THERE WILL
BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR STORM ALONG THE SEABREEZE FRONT
BOTH DAYS. WESTERLY WINDS AT AND ABOVE 925 MB WILL HELP HOLD THE
BOUNDARY CLOSE TO THE COAST. A NARROW VORTICITY/MOISTURE CHANNEL
TRAILING SOUTH OF FORMER T.S. BILL MAY BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS OR
STORMS ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT EVEN HERE I AM HARD-
PRESSED TO COME UP WITH MORE THAN A 20-30 PERCENT CHANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...RIDGING ALOFT WILL PERSIST FOR THE DURATION OF
THE PERIOD...THOUGH IN A VARYING STATE...WITH BERMUDA HIGH AND
PIEDMONT TROUGH FIRMLY IN PLACE. 5H RIDGE WILL EXTEND ACROSS
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE SOUTHERN CONUS WITH THE LOCAL AREA ON ITS
NORTHEAST PERIPHERY. THIS WILL OPEN UP THE POTENTIAL FOR DAILY
AFTERNOON CONVECTION...AS SOME MOISTURE AND AN OCCASIONAL WEAK
SHORTWAVE MOVE DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE RIDGE. COVERAGE WILL BE
LIMITED GIVEN AN UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT...WITH PERIODS OF INCREASED
MID LEVEL DRY AND SUBSIDENCE WORKING AGAINST DEEPER CONVECTION.
HOWEVER...CANNOT RULE OUT ACTIVITY ON ANY ONE DAY. WILL CONTINUE TO
CARRY INHERITED SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POP...WITH ACTIVITY
INITIALLY GENERATED BY THE SEA BREEZE AND PIEDMONT TROUGH.

850 TEMPS REMAIN IN THE 21C TO 24C RANGE THROUGH THE PERIOD KEEPING
TEMPERATURES ABOVE TO WELL ABOVE CLIMO INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
COMBINATION OF HIGHS WELL INTO THE 90S...POSSIBLY TRIPLE DIGITS SOME
DAYS...AND ELEVATED HUMIDITY WILL LIKELY RESULT IN HEAT ADVISORIES
BEING NEEDED FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY BREAKS DOWN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS
ALLOWING CONVECTION TO FORM A BIT EASIER. LOOK FOR SOME CONVECTION
ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND THE PIEDMONT TROUGH LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
COVERAGE WILL BE ENOUGH FOR A TEMPO GROUP AT THE INLAND TERMINALS.
BRIEF IFR IS POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY. THE CONVECTION
WILL LINGER INTO THE EVENING...WITH ISOLATED ACTIVITY THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. FRIDAY...LOOKS LIKE EVEN MORE MOISTURE MAY BE
AVAILABLE.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY WITH
MAINLY VFR. LESSER CHANCES MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...MANAGEABLE MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH
DAYBREAK SATURDAY...OUTSIDE OF ISOLATED TSTMS INSHORE. SW WINDS
GENERALLY 10-15 KT WITH ISOLATED GUSTS TO 20 KT OVERNIGHT. SEAS
TO RUN 2-3 FEET IN A COMBINATION OF SW WAVE 1-2 FEET EVERY 4-5
SECONDS AND ESE WAVES 1-2 FEET EVERY 9-10 SECONDS. WINDS ALOFT
WILL GUIDE A FEW TSTMS POTENTIALLY TO THE INSHORE WATERS LATER
TODAY AND TONIGHT AND MARINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEEK A RADAR FIX
BEFORE HEADING OUT THIS EVENING...AS STORMS TRACK TOWARD THE ENE
HAVING FORMED FIRST OVER LAND.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM FRIDAY...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE JUST NORTH OF THE
BAHAMAS WILL CONTROL OUR WEATHER THROUGH THE PERIOD...MODULATED BY
THE TYPICAL AFTERNOON/EVENING SEABREEZE CIRCULATION. THE CIRCULATION
OF FORMER TROPICAL STORM BILL WILL PASS WELL NORTH OF THE AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS LOW WILL COMPRESS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN ITSELF AND THE HIGH LEADING TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
INCREASING TO AROUND 20 KNOTS BOTH SATURDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN
SUNDAY NIGHT. SEAS MAY BUILD AS HIGH AS 4-5 FEET DURING THESE
PERIODS OF STRONGER WINDS...BUT OTHERWISE SHOULD AVERAGE 2-3
FEET... ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNINGS AND EARLY AFTERNOONS.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...TYPICAL SUMMER TIME PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE PERIOD. COMBINATION OF BERMUDA HIGH AND PIEDMONT TROUGH WILL
RESULT IN AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SOUTHWEST FLOW. SPEEDS WILL INCREASE
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS SEA BREEZE DEVELOPS AND
GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN RESPONSE TO STRENGTHENING PIEDMONT TROUGH.
WINDS WILL PEAK IN THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE WITH SEAS RUNNING 3 TO 5 FT
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.CLIMATE...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...THIS PERIOD OF HEAT IS BECOMING QUITE
IMPRESSIVE. IN LUMBERTON NC WE HAVE RECORDED SIX CONSECUTIVE DAYS
OF 100+ TEMPERATURES AS OF YESTERDAY. THIS FEAT HAS ONLY HAPPENED
ONE OTHER TIME HERE FROM AUGUST 5-10 2007. THIS STRING MAY COME TO
AN END TODAY AS LUMBERTON APPEARS IT MAY TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 90S.

IN FLORENCE THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH 100+ TEMPS.
THIS STRING APPEARS ALSO TO BE COMING TO AN END TODAY. THE LAST
TIME FLORENCE SAW SUCH SUSTAINED HEAT LIKE THIS WAS ALSO IN EARLY
AUGUST 2007.

OUR FORECAST INCLUDES A NUMBER OF 100+ DAYS COMING UP FOR
FLORENCE. WE HAVE ALREADY OFFICIALLY TIED THE MOST NUMBER OF 100
DEGREE DAYS IN THE MONTH OF JUNE AT FLORENCE. THIS RECORD WILL
LIKELY BE BROKEN AND EXTENDED NEXT WEEK:

2015, 1998, 1981, 1954, 1952: 4 DAYS IN JUNE WITH TEMPS 100+
1993, 1970: 3 DAYS

HOWEVER WE'RE STILL NOWHERE NEAR ALL-TIME RECORDS FOR THE MOST
NUMBER OF 100+ DAYS IN A SINGLE YEAR AT FLORENCE...LISTED BELOW:

1954: 26 DAYS IN A YEAR WITH TEMPS 100+
1993: 16 DAYS
1952: 12 DAYS
1999, 1986, 1980, 1953: 11 DAYS
