Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 420 PM EDT Wed Jun 6 2018 .SYNOPSIS... A weak area of low pressure and a cold front will move south through the area this evening. High pressure builds to the north Thursday into Friday. The high will move offshore Saturday with another front moving in from the north late Sunday into Monday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... As of 330 PM Wednesday...Weak cold front has pushed to near Hwy 264 based on latest mesonet obs and latest guidance has it slowly pushing south through area into evening hours. Scattered showers have developed near boundary aided by mid level shortwave and latest meso models indicate activity mainly north of Hwy 70 through 6 PM, then spreading over southern sections through 10 PM. Kept slight chance POPs over southern coastal sections until 2 AM, then dry overnight with shortwave offshore and boundary stalled to south. Some lower cloudiness may develop overnight with low level flow, thus partly to mostly cloudy skies persisting into Thursday morning. Min temps from lower 60s inland to near 70 south coast. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/... As of 330 PM Wednesday...Front will be stalled to south of area with high pressure wedged in from NE, producing a bit cooler temps especially over NE sections. Models continue to indicate isolated convective threat over SW sections due to localized convergence, and kept 20% POPs SW of Kinston-New Bern-Swansboro line in afternoon. Used MOS blend for max temps, ranging from mid 70s northern Outer Banks to mid 80s inland SW. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 345 AM Wed...Temperatures will be near normal through late week with below normal chances for rain Thursday through Sat though warmer temps and higher humidity are expected over the weekend. More unsettled conditions are expected from late Sunday into early next week as a cold front moves into the area. There is considerable uncertainty on whether the cold front will move through the entire area or retreat back to the north. There is more confidence that there will be increased chances for precipitation from late Sunday into early next week. Thursday and Friday...Drier and slightly cooler weather is expected Thursday as high pressure builds in behind the front with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Some moderation in temps into the low to mid 80s is forecast for Fri. Latest guidance supports slight chance POPs for isolated convective threat over southern-most sections both days. Saturday through Sunday...Warm southerly flow will return Saturday and Sunday, and we will again feel the summertime heat and humidity. Some widely scattered thunderstorms are possible Saturday, but it looks like better chances will occur Sunday as a cold front approaches from the north late in the day. Highs both days will be in the upper 80s to around 90 inland. Low temps will be mild, in the upper 60s to low 70s. Monday and Tuesday...Models continue to be in fairly good agreement in pushing a cold front into the area Mon but diverge on whether it will continue south Mon night into Tue or retreat back to the north. Regardless, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will be possible both days. && .AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Short Term /through 18Z Thursday/... As of 2 pm Wed...VFR conditions will dominate most of the TAF period. A cold front will push through Eastern NC late afternoon/early evening accompanied with scattered showers/thunderstorms. Winds will remain light from the SW this afternoon, then becoming NE tonight. Dry tonight with mid clouds lingering, but some guidance is indicating the development of sub-VFR ceiling around 9z; typical under a NE flow. Have added SCT deck btw 1000-2000 ft for all TAF sites. Expect VFR conditions across the area Thursday under a light NE flow. Long Term /Thursday night through Sunday/... As of 345 AM Wed...VFR conditions expected through most of the long term, outside of isolated showers/thunderstorms Thu through Sat and scattered activity Sunday. In addition, early morning fog patches will be possible each day. && .MARINE... Short Term /through Thursday/... As of 330 PM Wed...Cold front has pushed into central waters and will slowly move S into evening hours, stalling to S overnight with high pressure building in from N. NE winds behind front will spread over central and southern waters this evening and be mainly NE-E Thursday. Seas around 2 feet will build to around 3 feet northern and central waters with increasing NE winds. Long Term /Thursday night through Sunday/... As of 345 AM Wed...The models continue to forecast NE flow around 15 kt becoming E on Thu. Fri E winds 10 kt or less will become SE, and on Sat S flow 10 kt or less will increase to 10 to 15 kt. Sunday as a cold front approaches, SW winds 10-15 kt will increase to 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon. Seas will be 2-3 ft through Sat building to 2-4 ft Sunday. && .EQUIPMENT... As of 900 AM Wed...KMHX radar is back on line. However it will not be fully certified as operational until after a 24 hour calibration period. && .MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NC...None.
