SYNOPSIS
A low pressure system will bring unsettled weather across the area Tuesday into Wednesday. High pressure builds in late Thursday before another low pressure system impacts us this weekend.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
As of 740 PM Monday...No major changes with the forecast.

Previous Discussion
As of 3 PM Mon
Upper trough will continue to shift east as a wave of low pressure migrates along a stalled frontal boundary draped along the Gulf Coast overnight. Broad serly flow will develop over the Carolinas overnight and dew points will steadily climb into the 60s through the early morning hours. This, combined with steadily increasing cloud cover, will contribute to considerably warmer overnight lows as temperatures struggle to fall below the low 60s. A few stray pre- dawn showers are possible across the coastal plain with increasing isentropic lift, but more robust rainfall will hold off until after daybreak.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/
As of 740 PM Monday...Trimmed back Schc PoPs a tad for Tuesday afternoon/evening with a lack of instability expected due to poor lapse rates. Otherwise no major changes with this forecast update.

Previous Discussion
As of 3 PM Mon
Vertically stacked low pressure will track across the Ohio River Valley during the day, while deep srly flow inc throughout the day. Precip chances steadily inc from w to e as broad area of isentropic ascent moves through. Showers will be sct to numerous on Tue, with 60-80% pops cont, highest in the afternoon hours. Trended back on thunder mention to wrn areas and later in the pd, as instability will be quite meager. Thunder will be elevated in nature anyhow, so no severe threat is expected. QPF amts should by around a half inch with locally higher amts by later in the day. Warm and humid with highs in the 70s.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
As of 415 AM Monday...Unsettled weather will impact ENC on Tue/Wed as a deepening low pressure tracks across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. High pressure builds in Thursday night into Friday but another low pressure system will impact the area late in the week.

Tuesday through Wednesday night...Vertically stacked low pressure will track across the Ohio River Valley on Tuesday and then push across the Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday before pushing off the coast Wednesday night. Precip chances peak Tuesday night as upper level diffluence and southern stream moisture increases across the area with PWATs peaking around 1.75".
Additional showers will push across the area Wednesday as the upper level trough and attendant sfc cold front pushes across the area. Could see a few elevated thunderstorms cont into Tuesday night but clouds and precip will limit instability and any severe potential appears minimal. However, Wednesday will have a better chance for stronger storms with better upper level support, colder temps aloft, and greater instability coupled with around 30-40 kt of bulk shear. SPC has a marginal risk (1 of 5) of severe storms across the coastal plain on Wednesday.
Most of the area will likely see a soaking rain with precip amounts around 1-1.5" through the period with coastal sections potentially approaching 2". Temps will continue to be seasonable with highs in the mid 70s on Tuesday and low to mid 80s on Wednesday.

Thursday through Sunday...Upper ridging builds in from the west Thursday with a vertically stacked low off the Mid-Atlantic coast slowly moving eastward. ECWMF continues to be the slowest solution keeping cyclonic flow across the area keeping isolated showers and thunderstorm chances through much of the day and will keep slight chance PoPs attm. Ridging crests over the area Thursday night but will slide offshore Friday with another frontal system quickly moving into the area late in the week but once again guidance differs with how the system evolves as it pushes across the Southeast and off the coast over the weekend. But despite the differences, most guidance brings another round of descent rainfall amounts across much of the area.

AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
SHORT TERM /through 06z Wed/...
As of 155 AM Tue...There is a high chance (90%) of sub-VFR flight conditions over the next 24 hours with a high chance (70%) of IFR or worse.

VFR conditions prevail over area terminals early this morning, but conditions are expected to gradually deteriorate through today as a complex area of low pressure currently draped along the Gulf Coast lifts towards the Carolinas tonight.
Isentropically-driven showers are expected to begin around dawn, migrating across terminals from the south and west, and prevailing MVFR conditions will accompany this activity. The heaviest rainfall will most likely occur after 18z as strongest lift, juxtaposed with deepest moisture, pivots across ENC from the southwest. Predominantly IFR conditions are likely with this heavier activity and will linger through the remainder of the period. A few thunderstorms are possible mainly for EWN and OAJ after 21-22z.

Southeasterly winds gust this afternoon to 15-20 kt, then calm and veer south to southwesterly as surface low lifts across NC late tonight.

LONG TERM /Tuesday night through Friday/...
As of 430 AM Monday...A low pressure system will impact the area Tuesday through Wednesday with deteriorating conditions expected Tuesday with periods of sub- VFR continuing into Wednesday. Sub- VFR conditions possible Wednesday night with plenty of low level moisture in place. Pred VFR returns Thursday but could see isolated showers bringing brief sub-VFR conditions. Pred VFR continues Friday but another frontal system will approach the area bringing increasing clouds with sub-VFR possible Friday night.

MARINE
SHORT TERM /Through Tuesday/...
As of 3 PM Mon...As a low makes its approach towards the Carolinas, pressure gradient will tighten with winds reaching 15-20 kt by daybreak on Tuesday. Seas remain at around 2-4 feet through tonight, then building to 4-6 ft Tue morning primarily across the srn waters. Winds and seas build north through the day, and reach SCA for the Pamlico sound as well as Neuse/Pamlico Rivers and ctrl waters later in the afternoon.

LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/...
As of 430 AM Monday...Southerly winds increase Tuesday ahead of the low pressure system and expect a period of Small Craft Advisory conditions to develop and continue into Wednesday. We may see a brief period of Gale Force winds across portions of the waters Tuesday evening. Seas will build Tuesday and peak around 7-10 ft Tuesday night, then will gradually subside Wednesday. A cold front will push across the waters Wednesday night with winds becoming Nly around 10-15 kt and seas around 3 to 5 ft through Thursday. High pressure build into the area Thursday night bringing light winds then slides offshore Friday with winds becoming Sly around 10-15 kt late in the day ahead of the next frontal system.
