Area Discussion for - Newport/Morehead City, NC
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 260219 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 1019 pm edt Sat may 25 2019 Synopsis High pressure will continue to build off the east coast tonight, and settle off the southeast coast tomorrow. Another backdoor front will move into the region Monday, but then will quickly retreat north Tuesday, with very hot temperatures expected across the region through at least the middle of next week. A cold front is expected to move into the area Friday. Near term until 6 am Sunday morning As of 10 pm sat... No significant changes to the forecast with the late evening update. Shower and thunderstorm activity is approaching the i-85 corridor and remains on track to threaten our area after midnight. Additionally, stratus coverage is increasing across the CAPE fear region, with the expectation that this stratus field will being to build across duplin and onslow counties within the next hour or two. Previous discussion... A subtle shortwave aloft will cross virginia and northeastern north carolina this evening and overnight, prompting scattered showers and possible a couple of thunderstorms to develop in the roanoke river basin before working into the area from the northeast overnight. Hi-res guidance is resolving the shower storm activity progressing south across the area mainly east of us hwy 17 while weakening through about 10z. However, very dry air in the mid to upper levels apparent in the 00z kmhx sounding will be difficult to overcome, and pops remain capped around 30% or less. Otherwise it will be a fairly quiet night with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Short term 6 am Sunday morning through 6 pm Sunday As of 210 pm sat... High pressure offshore will drift south of nc tomorrow, leading to a return of SW flow. Low level thicknesses will increase again, and blazing hot conditions are expected away from the immediate coast. Expect close to record high temps, with highs in the upper 90s inland, low to mid 90s east of us 17, and mid to upper 80s along the coast. It will be mostly dry except for a few seabreeze showers thunderstorms that may develop across to the west of the pamlico sound in the afternoon hours. Long term Sunday night through Saturday As of 230 pm Saturday... A subtropical surface ridge coupled with an abnormally strong late spring upper level ridge will continue to produce hot and mostly dry weather for much of the next week. Well above normal temperatures well into the 90s inland are expected Monday through at least Thursday. The axis of heat peaks mid week where several inland locations could reach 100 degrees or a little higher. Beaches will cont to be a bit cooler with winds off ocean and sounds but shld be well into the 80s with some spots reaching AOA 90. Overnight lows will likewise be quite warm... Mostly in 70s. As the upr ridge breaks down and a cold front approaches late week temps will cool a bit but still likely reach lower 90s inland. Mdls show series of weak impulses and convective complexes passing mainly N of region thru mid week. Some of these may clip nrn tier at times but overall confidence is low so will cont with dry fcst. As upr ridge weakens and front approaches late week will have a little better chc of shra tsra Fri into sat with 20 30 pops. Aviation 02z Sunday through Thursday Short term through Sunday afternoon ... as of 7 pm sat...VFR conditions persist through the evening. Overnight, low level flow shifts more southerly as a subtle shortwave aloft approaches the area. Hi-res guidance suggests that this will prompt a MVFR stratus deck to build across the area from the south, with highest confidence MVFR ceilings impacting koaj and kewn through the early morning hours. There is more uncertainty around the MVFR ceilings at kiso and kpgv, but have opted to prevail MVFR at both locations based on probabilistic guidance.VFR ceilings will emerge around by sunrise as the influence of the shortwave shifts away from the |
area. Long term Sunday night through Thu ... as of 230 pm sat...VFR conditions are likely throughout the extended period. The chances of showers tstms will be very slim with upr rdg in control. Threat for any late night fog also low as soil moisture conts to decrease given prolonged hot spell. Marine Short term through tomorrow ... as of 10 pm sat... Southerly winds around 10-15 kts prevail overnight, and then continue to turn to the SW tomorrow, with some gusts to 20 kts possible. Seas are expected to be 2-3 ft through most of tonight, and then build slightly to 3-4 ft tomorrow with some 5 footers possible over the outer central waters. Long term Sunday night through Thu ... as of 230 pm Saturday... Sw winds of 10 to 20 knots expected Sunday night as a weak front approaches from the northwest. This front will get far enough south to produce a wind shift to NE e Monday over the central and northern tier. The front will lift back N on Tuesday with winds becoming ssw 10 to 20 kts that will cont thru wed. As another front begins to approach Thu SW winds will increase to 15 to 25 kts. Seas will be mainly 2 to 4 feet thru the period, some 5 foot seas poss outer wtrs Sun night and early mon. Better chc of 5 foot seas Thu as winds approach SCA lvls.

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. |
