Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
307 PM EDT Tue Jun 14 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will extend down from the north Wednesday into
Thursday with temperatures down closer to normal, but still very
warm. A brief warmup on Friday will be followed by a cold front
bringing relatively cooler and drier weather for the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The near term has been extremely complex, especially with an old
outflow boundary moving south across the forecast area today with
implications on POPs and temperatures/heat indices. Additionally the
HRRR has had a hard time reconciling the convection along this
boundary which approached severe limits across the far southern
zones. Big questions remain about the upstream convection across
south central Virginia diving southward. If these storms hold
together they could mainly impact eastern NC and clip portions of
southeast NC. In addition they will be moving into an area with
lower dewpoints in the wake of the aforementioned outflow. At this
time will maintain 20-30 POPs (highest across the northeast zones)
through the evening, then improving conditions overnight.
The surface trough will move off the coast overnight allowing winds
to veer to a NE-Ely direction during Wednesday with a weak surface
ridge setting up along the Mid-Atlantic and Carolina coasts. The
onshore flow will help limit the heat index along the coastal areas
however, the heat index may approach Heat Advisory criteria again
along/near the I-95 corridor. Also, could see isolated to widely
scattered showers and tstms in this area.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Not a lot of changes in order for the short term/end of
the work week period. Mid level ridging will be in control once again
Thursday but will begin to make its move west based on what is
seemingly a relentless volley mid level shortwaves moving across the
eastward extent of the feature. The most active of these features
will move across Friday with a surface cold front moving across.
Pops remain in the low chance range. Temperature guidance has cooled
ever so slightly and there may not be a need for a headline Thursday
with lower dewpoints probably playing more a role. A Heat Advisory
may be needed Friday but a little more uncertainty at this point.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
High and dry for the extended period as the area will be under
the influence of a broad cyclonic flow aloft. High pressure at
the surface will slowly build in from the north as well. The
highlight of the temperature forecast will be highs only in the
middle 80s or so Sunday with a couple of cool mornings, Sunday
and Monday. Some guidance is showing numbers in the upper 50s
but for now the official forecast leans a little warmer.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Strong thunderstorms along the outflow pushing across portions of
northeast SC should not pose any problems to the terminals through
19Z. Additional convection is possible but confidence is low at this
time with HRRR guidance not overly supportive of anything
significant. As a result, only highlighted a short window of VCTS for
later this afternoon into the early evening hours. Otherwise, VFR
conditions are expected to prevail through much of this forecast
period.
Extended Outlook...Early morning fog/stratus through Thursday cannot
be entirely ruled out but confidence is low at this time. Mainly
isolated showers/thunderstorms are possible each afternoon.
&&
.MARINE...
Through Wednesday:
Outflow moved from north to south across the
waters and has temporarily skewed the wind fields early this
afternoon. Southwesterly flow is expected across all of the waters
during this afternoon and evening. The flow will veer to an offshore
direction tonight in the wake of the surface trough, then from a
northeast direction Wednesday morning as a weak ridge builds in from
the Mid-Atlantic coast. Additional veering to an onshore direction
is expected by Wednesday afternoon. Seas will average 3 ft through
Wednesday.
Wednesday Night through Sunday:
Benign wind fields will remain in place across the waters
Thursday with a modest flow with wind speeds around ten knots at
best with a southerly component. A more pronounced southwest flow of
10-15 knots will develop Friday and may increase to 15-20 knots
briefly. For the weekend a brief offshore flow will develop in the
wake of a decent cold front but northeast winds will be the main
nature of the winds. Significant seas will be 2-4 feet at their peak
coinciding with the stronger winds Friday and early Saturday
otherwise moreso around two feet.
