Area Discussion for - Newport/Morehead City, NC
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 230558 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 1258 am est Wed jan 23 2019 Synopsis High pressure just to the north will drift offshore tonight. A cold front will approach from the west Wednesday night into Thursday, then move offshore Thursday night. High pressure builds in from the west by late week into early weekend. Near term until 6 am this morning As of 1250 am Wednesday... Axis of strong surface ridge lingers along the coast, but should drift offshore tonight. Temperatures fell off quickly earlier tonight, but have already started to level off or slowly rise. As higher cloud cover increases and flow becomes more SE overnight, temperatures may rise a bit more. Overall, forecast in pretty good shape with no big changes planned for this update. Short term 6 am this morning through 6 am Thursday As of 230 pm Tuesday... Much warmer as low lvl flow becomes s and increases between offshore high pres and slowly approaching cold front. Thicknesses support highs mainly low mid 60s with beaches a bit cooler with flow off cold near shore water. Expect good deal of clouds across the region as moisture slowly increases, however not expecting much precip with just slight pops near coast and SW tier. Long term Thursday through Wednesday As of 245 pm wed... A slow moving cold front will impact the area Wednesday night and Thursday, with a return to warmer and wetter conditions. Then, drier and colder air return for Friday and the weekend. A coastal storm may impact eastern nc Sunday night and into early next week. Wednesday night and Thursday... Rainfall associated with the slow moving cold front will move into the region Wednesday night, and have pops ramping up from chance to likely. Have categorical pops for the period of heaviest rain Thursday morning, and as the front pushes offshore later in the day have showers tapering off from west to east. Have added the possibility of an isolated thunderstorm to the forecast Thursday morning, as some instability may develop right along the coast, and given strong dynamic environment, a few rain showers could develop into low topped thunderstorms. Additionally, guidance indicates that several hours of sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph mainly along the outer banks Thursday, and a wind advisory may eventually be needed. There is some uncertainty with the timing of the frontal progression and arrival of the strongest winds, but generally prefer the ECMWF solution of bringing the strongest winds to the outer banks midday. Highs on Thursday are again expected to be in the low to mid 60s. Friday and Saturday... Behind this storm system a deep longwave trough will anchor itself over the most of the CONUS centered over the midwest and deep south. A secondary arctic cold front will move into the region late Friday, bringing another blast of frigid weather for the weekend. High temps on Friday will reach the mid to upper 40s, and then low temps will fall into the low to mid 20s inland Friday night, with low 30s expected along the immediate shoreline. Latest model trends don't show as strong of a cold air blast, and heights will begin building Saturday morning, which will allow temps to rebound into the mid to upper 40s by the afternoon. Sunday and Monday... A coastal storm is possible later Sunday and into Monday. However, latest forecast guidance has muddied the waters more, with most models now showing a suppressed and weaker solution with the low pressure system. This would mean mostly dry weather for both days, which is in contrast to guidance over the past several model runs which showed some decent rainfall and impacts to the area. Will still hold on to pops for both days, but have lowered pops to mostly slight chance, and will look for some consistency on the next set of |
model runs. As of now, temperatures appear mild with highs in the 50s and low in the 30s. Aviation 06z Wednesday through Sunday Short term through 06z Thursday ... as of 1250 am Wednesday... Widespread high cloudiness detected on ir satellite tonight. This cloudiness will continue to thicken and lower as the day wears on, but expectVFR conditions to prevail through 00z tonight. After that time, deeper moisture with a SE S flow will lead to the formation of stratus stratocumulus and MVFR ceilings. Think the bulk of any precipitation will hold off until after 06z. Low-level wind shear will also be possible after midnight as strong gusty southerly winds develop with more sw wsw winds aloft. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday ... as of 320 am tues... .A cold front will bring sub-vfr ceilings and rain showers Wednesday night and Thursday.VFR conditions are expected to return by Thursday evening and last through Saturday. Marine Short term through Wed ... as of 1255 am Wednesday... No major changes to marine forecast as winds remain light from the ene e. Winds should veer to more se sse toward morning. Seas continue at 3-4 feet. S winds will increase to 15 to 25 kts later Wed as pres grdnt tightens between offshore high pres and slowly approaching cold front. Seas will build to 3 to 5 ft Wed aftn. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday ... as of 245 pm tues... Added a gale watch for the albemarle sound and alligator river for Thursday, resulting in gale watches now covering all marine areas except the tar pamlico and neuse bay rivers, where a small craft advisory has been issued. Winds and seas Wednesday will be building as southerly flow increases ahead of the front. Winds will be 20-30 kts by Wednesday night and seas will range from 6-10 ft. Winds will peak late Thursday morning at ssw 30-40 kts with gusts 40-50 kts, and seas will build to 11-17 ft by Thursday afternoon.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
