(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 232348 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 748 pm edt Tue may 23 2017 Synopsis Unsettled weather is expected through Thursday as a stationary front lingers across the region and several low pressure areas move along it. The front will finally move off the coast Thursday morning. High pressure will build in from the west Friday and Saturday. A cold front will approach from the west early next week. Near term until 6 am Wednesday morning As of 745 pm tue... The latest sfc analysis indicates that the weak frontal boundary had drifted north and was located from about duck across the albemarle sound to just north of greenville. The front should continue to drift northward overnight. Several weak lows will translate east across this front tonight with the most significant one forecast to move northeast of the outer banks after 06z. This should the front back down near it's current position late tonight and early Wednesday. Radar and high resolution models continue to show fairly steady moderate to heavy rainfall continuing across the region through about 6z and will continue categorical pops through the evening hours. The rainfall is then forecast to taper off rapidly by 8z. Total rainfall of 0.75-1.5" will be possible, with locally higher amts. Minor flooding of low lying areas will be possible, and will continue to monitor the potential for localized flash flooding given the high pwat values around 2 inches and potential for training cells. SPC continues to outlook the region in marginal risk of severe thunderstorms this evening with this threat likely shifting to the coast after dark. Overnight lows will be in the 60s. Short term 6 am Wednesday morning through 6 pm Wednesday As of 3 pm tue... Weak frontal boundary to the south will lift back north into the area and stall in a similar location to today... Just south of the albemarle sound. While upper low over the upper mid-west slowly weakens as it dives southeastward. Spc continues to outlook the region in a marginal risk of svr wx instability will likely be the limiting factor again with widespread cloud cover early, though shear will be increasing to around 40kt. An isolated strong severe storm will be possible with gusty winds and hail. Think the first part of the day will remain generally dry or with isolated activity, with precip chances increasing during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs in the mid 70s to low 80s. Long term Wednesday night through Tuesday As of 330 pm Tuesday... Wet and stormy period Wednesday night and Thursday before drier weather arrives Friday into the weekend. A warm front will lift north of the area Wednesday evening ahead of a small area of low pressure that will cross the region after midnight. Aloft, a deep upper trough over the mississippi valley down into the deep south will progress eastward towards the east coast Wednesday night into Thursday. There will be a brief break in shower thunderstorm activity Thursday morning, with chance pops returning Thursday afternoon as a strong shortwave rotates around the base of the upper trough and through eastern nc. Trended pops to coincide with weak surface low shortwave aloft on Wednesday evening night, going categorical through 06z, then transitioning heavier precip to the coast after 06z. Widespread showers with embedded thunderstorms will overspread the area from southwest to northeast Wednesday evening. Mucapes of 500 to 1000 j kg with 0-6 km bulk shear values of 50+ knots around 06z, supporting the potential for storms to become severe late Wednesday night. SPC has our entire area in a marginal risk for severe weather Wednesday night. In addition to the severe weather threat, there will be a heavy rain threat as pwats will approach 2 inches, though convection should move through the region rather quickly from southwest to northeast, limiting the potential for training cells long duration heavy rainfall. Will continue to mention locally heavy rain and isolated strong thunderstorms in the hazardous weather outlook. The main cold front and steadier rains will move off the coast just after 12z Thursday. During the afternoon, a few more showers or thunderstorms will be possible as a strong shortwave rotates around the base of the upper trough. The upper trough will move off the east coast late Thursday with weak upper ridging and surface high pressure building in from the west through Saturday. Guidance suggests weak shortwaves will cross through va nc in zonal flow aloft late Saturday into Sunday, warranting slight chance to chance pops. Temps will warm over the weekend as low level thicknesses build from around 1390 meters Friday to 1420 meters on Sunday, |
supporting MAX temps in the middle to upper 80s inland, and with dewpoints well into the 60s by Sunday. From Sunday and beyond a series of disturbances will move over the top of a building 500 mb ridge, which when combined with warmer and more humid airmass, will support shower and thunderstorm chances each afternoon evening from Sunday on. Aviation 23z Tuesday through Sunday Short term through Wednesday ... as of 745 pm tue... High confidence in sub-vfr conditions expected through the TAF period as the region remains in very moist and unstable regime through the period. Periodic showers isolated tstms will continue through 6z then taper off late tonight. Conditions will continue to bounce between MVFR and ifr through this evening, before likely deteriorating to widespread ifr late tonight. Could also see some low level wind shear develop tonight. Think conditions will improve to MVFR, possiblyVFR during Wed afternoon. Scattered showers storms expected to redevelop Wed afternoon. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday ... as of 400 pm Tuesday... SubVFR weather likely in periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms through early Thursday morning. A return toVFR is expected Thursday night through Sunday as high pressure and drier weather builds across the region. Marine Short term through Wednesday ... as of 745 pm tue... Stationary front is still bisecting the northern waters near the albemarle sound duck, with E NE winds 10-15kt north of the boundary and S SW winds 15-25 kt south. Seas now 3-5 feet north of oregon inlet, and 4-7 feet south. Conditions will continue to deteriorate tonight, with increasing winds and building seas. Models show the stationary front pushing south through the northern waters late tonight and early wed, with flow becoming pred southwesterly. Weak low will continue to move along the front and off the va coast late tonight and early wed. S SW winds increase to 20-30 kt tonight, with seas building to 5-11 feet. Think winds will diminish a bit early wed, then front will lift back north as a warm front and stall in a similar location to this evening, across the northern and central waters. N W winds 10-15kt early, becoming e S 10-20kt by afternoon. Seas south of oregon inlet will remain elevated, 5-8 feet early subsiding to 4-6 feet in the afternoon. SCA continues for the coastal waters and pamlico sound... Though could see a brief period of gusty winds for the albemarle sound late tonight. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday ... as of 400 am Tuesday... Poor boating conditions are expected Wednesday evening through early Friday. Increasing winds and elevated seas are expected late Wednesday through early Friday with small craft advisory conditions expected for the waters south of oregon inlet and for the pamlico sound Wednesday evening night. South to southwest winds will increase to 20-30 kts Wednesday evening through Thursday evening with seas building to 5-10 ft. A small period of gale force winds will be possible Wednesday night from CAPE hatteras to CAPE lookout. Behind the front winds shift into the northwest Friday at 15-20 kts with seas elevated at 4-7 ft. Better boating weather is expected this weekend as high pressure builds in from the west. Winds will become southwest 5-15 knots with seas mostly 2-4 ft, except for some 5 ft seas farther offshore.
