High pressure ridge axis will remain anchored over the Carolinas an East to Southeast steering flow off the Atlantic Ocean through tonight. Breezy E-SE surface winds at 15-20G25-30 mph this afternoon will fade after sunset to 5 mph inland and 10 mph along the Atlantic Coast. The flow pattern will still remain elevated enough through tonight for isolated shower/sprinkles over the Atlantic Coastal waters pushing inland to the I-95 corridor at times before fading and will keep 15 percent PoPs going with tonight's forecast. Lows will fall into the upper 50s/near 60 over inland areas as skies become mostly clear towards morning, with some patchy fog possible around sunrise. Closer to the Atlantic Coast, partly cloudy skies will continue as periods of Strato-Cu continue to move onshore at times with lows in the 65-70 range.
SHORT TERM
(Monday through Tuesday night)
Issued at 141 PM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024
Monday, the mid to upper level ridge pattern over the Mid-Atlantic region south into eastern NC will support surface surface high pressure sinking southward from near the SE US coast into our area.
This will bring south to southeasterly low level flow and and moist low levels over the area with marine stratocumulus clouds skirting a bit more south to north with isolated light showers paralleling the coast over the nearshore waters and silent pops along I-95 for any short lived quick showers that move just onshore before fading as dry mid level air shifting in from the western Atlantic prevents much depth/organization to any showers. Highs will be cooler at the coast with Atlantic seabreeze turning winds east southeasterly 10-15 mph and southerly 8-12 mph farther inland with highs in the upper 70s to near 80 along the coast and mid 80s west of I-95.
Monday night, the drier air aloft will create mostly clear skies.
SE winds remaining high enough to prevent fog at 5-10 mph. Lows will be in the low to mid 60s inland and the upper 60s along the coast.
Tuesday, the mid to upper ridging will shift into western Atlantic waters as a weak, remnant southern stream shortwave trough moves into the southern Appalachians from the TN valley. This will allow moisture to rebound to around 1.2 to 1.4 inches of PWAT due to southerly low level flow as high pressure moves away to the east.
This will be enough to generate isolated showers and perhaps a thunderstorm as both Atlantic and Gulf seabreeze merge inland near the US17 and highway 301 corridors. Highs will be warmer with low 80s at the coast and mid to upper 80s inland.
Tuesday night, isolated showers and T'storms should fade after sunset with partly cloudy skies becoming mostly clear late. South to southwest winds may allow for some low stratus to advect in from the Gulf, but enough low level flow may prevent fog from forming over western areas. Lows will be in the mid 60s inland and the upper 60s along the coast.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 141 PM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024
Wednesday, winds will become more west southwesterly as a trough sinks across the area. The Atlantic seabreeze will be more pinned between US 17 and I-95 ahead of the trough with isolated showers or even a T'storm in the afternoon to early evening. Highs will approach 90 inland and be cooler in the low to mid 80s at the coast.
Thursday, drier air will filter in as high pressure builds down from the Mid Atlantic states and created ENE winds over the area and mostly sunny skies. With the drier air aloft, no showers expected, but highs will be warmer inland in the low 90s with low/mid 80s along the coast in the onshore flow.
Friday into the weekend, easterly flow will gradually veer to southerly with isolated showers and T'storms over SE GA while a cold front nearly stalls across the deep south. Highs will approach 90 inland and the low to mid 80s at the coast. Lows during the period will be in the low to mid 60s inland and the upper 60s to near 70 at the coast.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1240 PM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024
Breezy E-SE flow will continue through the afternoon hours, while any isolated showers (VCSH) will be few and far between, but will keep them in at the coastal TAF sites of SSI/SGJ/CRG for consistency at this point. Otherwise winds decrease after sunset to less than 10 knots with VFR conditions continuing through the overnight hours. Fog chances remain too low for inclusion around sunrise (10-12Z) but may need to be introduced for VQQ with later issuance's. SE winds increase late in the period (14-18Z) to over 10 knots again but VFR conds will continue.
MARINE
Issued at 141 PM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024
Combined seas continue to slowly subside to 4 to 6 feet this afternoon and will drop the Small Craft Advisory (SCA) headlines with the next forecast issuance, but will keep Small Craft Exercise Caution (SCEC) headline in place due to seas of 4 to 6 feet through tonight, mainly for the offshore waters. Otherwise with the High pressure ridge over the Carolinas expect southeast winds in the 10-15 knot range to continue through Monday before the ridge axis weakens but slides southward into the local marine waters Tuesday/Wednesday with winds becoming southerly and seas continuing to subside to 2 to 4 feet, while local sea breeze will continue along the Atlantic Coast. This pattern will continue through the end of the week with no headlines expected at this time.
Rip Currents: High risk of rip currents will likely linger into Monday with surf/breakers of 3-5 ft continuing, with a shift downward to Moderate Risk on Tuesday/Wednesday with surf/breakers in the 2-4 ft range.
