NWS Newport/Morehead City, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 4, 11:23 AM EST, 37 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 1223 PM EDT SAT JUN 4 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A weak front over the northern sections will lift north of the area late today and tonight. A cold front will approach from the west Sunday and slowly cross the area Sunday night and Monday. A tropical area of low pressure will pass well offshore Tuesday followed by a second dry cold front Tuesday night into early Wednesday with high pressure building behind the front through Thursday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... As of 1220 PM Saturday...Convection has dissipated with mainly sunny skies across the region. Temps rising quickly and lower 90s look likely inland. These warm temps and high dewpts will lead to surface based cape values well above 3000 this aftn. There is little to no forcing aloft over the region...however given the strong instability expect sct storms to develop likely focused on sea breeze and near weak front across nrn tier. Have pops later this aftn ranging from high chc nrn inland areas to little or no pop srn beaches. Given the degree of instability an isolated severe storm will be poss later this aftn into early evening hrs. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SUNDAY/... As of 335 AM Saturday, any convection that forms during the late afternoon and evening may linger into the nighttime hours given continued weak instability and some mid-level vorticity as upper heights slowly fall. Kept low chance PoPs in the forecast through much of the night. It will again be warm and muggy with lows in the lower 70s in most areas. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 315 AM Sat...A strong mid-level trough will increase the coverage of thunderstorms for the latter part of the weekend, with some locally strong to severe storms possible Sunday. Tropical low pressure will pass off of the NC coast on Tuesday followed by a strong cold front bringing drier conditions to the area mid to late next week. Sunday/Sunday Night...A strong mid level trough will swing across the Mid-Mississippi Valley Saturday night and into the Mid- Atlantic states Sunday. Forecast soundings indicate an unstable environment developing with lifted Indices in the -7 to -8 range and sfc based instability vals upwards of 3000 J/kg due to strong diabatic heating and TD's in the low 70s. A strengthening low- level jet, 40-45 kt SW flow at 850 mb by Sunday evening will provide the kinematics for organized thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center continues to indicate the Coastal Plain region of Eastern NC in an Enhanced Risk with a Slight Risk rest of the FA. Should any storms become severe, the biggest threats will be damaging wind gusts and hail, though a small chance for a tornado cannot be ruled out. Best chances of storms will be late afternoon Sunday and especially into Sunday evening. Temperatures will once again by hot in the 88-92 degree range under partly cloudy to partly sunny skies. Monday through Tuesday...Drastic changes to this forecast period as models are developing tropical development across the Northeastern GOM with a quick movement off the NC coast on Tuesday. 04/00Z ECM/CMC continue in good agreement with the low moving close enough to the coast to bring a good chance of showers to the southeastern portions of the FA. Operational GFS is an outlier and appears too dry and too far offshore with the low, and does not have support from ensemble mean with many members on the wet side. Will raise pops to likely immediate coastal areas tapering to slight chance far NW counties. Periods of heavy rain showers possible Mon night into first part of Tue. Quick drying trend later Tue as the low quickly moves northeast of the OBX. Highs a bit lower due to the plentiful clouds with low/mid 80s though lows still muggy with SW flow continuing and low/mid 70s. Tuesday Night through Friday...A second cold front will move through Eastern NC Tuesday night which will bring the drier air mass into the region. High pressure will build east from the Mid- Mississippi Valley Wednesday through Friday. Highs will range in the low/mid 80s Wed and Thur, then warm into the mid/upper 80s on Friday as hot upper ridge across western CONUS starts to advance eastward. Lows will be in the low/mid 60s inland to mid/upper 60s beaches through this period. && .AVIATION /16Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Short Term /through 12Z Sunday/... As of 655 AM Saturday, some patches of MVFR affecting KEWN, KPGV and KOAJ this morning, but should dissipate shortly with VFR conditions to dominate through much of the day. Scattered thunderstorms will form after about 18z with some brief sub-VFR conditions possible into the evening. Mixed signals in the guidance tonight, but will forecast a period of MVFR fog between 09z and 12z given what should be light winds and high boundary layer humidity and a wet ground in areas that receive precipitation today. Long Term /Sunday through Thursday/... As of 315 AM Sat ...Period starts VFR on first half of Sunday then storms develop late in the day through evening with tempo sub VFR in heavier convection. Unsettled pattern through early Tue as tropical low pressure advances northeastward off the NC coast and brings showers to the eastern portions of E NC. Areas that decouple or receive rainfall will have the potential for patchy fog or low stratus formation before drier air mass moves in Tuesday night through end of the week. && .MARINE... Short Term /Today and Tonight/... As of 1220 PM Saturday...No significant changes planned. Weak bndry over nrn tier will keep winds more E far northern waters with SW flow dominating elsewhere. Speeds mainly below 15 kts with seas 2 to 3 feet...poss 4 ft far outer cntrl/srn waters. Previous discussion...Winds have become SW except for areas north of Oregon Inlet where light east winds continue. Speeds are running 5-15 knots with seas 2-4 feet. Little change in this pattern through the day. By later tonight with the gradient tightening ahead of cold front, will see seas jump to 3-5 feet with 10-15 knot SW winds, with perhaps a few gusts to 20 knots late over the central waters. Long Term /Sunday through Thursday/... As of 315 AM Sat...The pressure gradient increases on Sunday ahead of the approaching cold front with winds increasing to 20-25 kts by Sunday night into early Monday over the central and southern waters with seas 5-7 ft. Expect SW winds mostly 10-20 knots Monday night with seas subsiding to 3-5 feet. A tropical low pressure system will pass off the NC coast on Tuesday with seas again building to 6+ ft, though at this time expect any circulation to remain far enough offshore to limit wind speeds below 25 knots. High pressure will build in from the west Wednesday with NW winds 5-15 kt and seas subsiding to 2-4 feet through Thursday. && .MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NC...None.
