      (on/off)   Help   NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition

Fxus62 kilm 200124 afdilm area forecast discussion national weather service wilmington nc 924 pm edt Mon aug 19 2019 Synopsis Bermuda high and piedmont trough, typical of summertime, will persist into Friday. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon and evening. A cold front will move into the area Friday then stall for the weekend. The front will be accompanied by an increase in unsettled weather. Update The forecast is in good shape as the feisty convection inland is finally on the wane. Trends have this covered well. Near term through Tuesday night Despite moderate to strong surface-based instability this afternoon (li of -6 to -8c), dry air aloft has largely prohibited the vertical extent of cumulus, and subsequent development of showers and tstms. Some clustering of CU is occurring along the sea breeze boundary in horry and georgetown counties, portions of the pee dee region, as well as along the norther borders of bladen and pender counties, so these areas may see an isolated shower or TSTM before the afternoon is done. Otherwise, expect the late afternoon through overnight to be relatively quiet, with lows falling slowly into the mid 70s inland upper 70s coast. Widely scattered showers over the ocean overnight may scrape the shore after midnight, but confidence is too low to warrant adding small pops along the coast at this time. Deeper moisture will work its way across the forecast area in southwest flow aloft during the overnight hours. Surface-based instability will once again be plentiful, so shower and tstms activity should have an easier time developing than it has had today. Short term Wednesday through Thursday night Break in the mid-level ridge over the southeast during the period will allow for diurnal convection Wed and thu. The sea breeze and piedmont trough will be the main features, however guidance is showing a weak 5h shortwave riding up the west side of the ridge over the western atlantic late Wed into thu. This feature could lead to convection continuing well into Wed night before post wave subsidence and loss of surface based instability brings an end to convection after midnight. Not sold on it yet as the GFS has been inconsistent with it and the ec keeps it farther inland and weaker. Regardless of the feature or not, deep moisture will increase from wed to Thu which, combined with diurnal instability, will lead to an increase in storm coverage. Shower and thunderstorm coverage wed will be around 30% with potential for twice that (or more) come thu afternoon. Not going quite that high yet, but did increase pop a bit thu. Highs will be slightly above climo while lows will be well above climo. Long term Friday through Monday A cold front will move into the area late in the week and stall across the area over the weekend. The mid-level trough pushing the front south slips off the mid-atlantic coast sat, leaving the front hanging in the carolinas. Surface and mid-level high building in

from the north-northwest eventually shift the boundary south, but not until next week. -widespread showers and thunderstorms Fri through mon. Stalled front may maintain convection well after sunset. -localized flooding could be a concern in areas that experience multiple rounds of heavy rain. -high temperatures near climo Fri will drop below climo sat through mon. -lows will be near to above climo. Aviation 02z Tuesday through Saturday MainlyVFR throughout the period. A few storms are hanging around our inland areas this afternoon and some of the hi-res models have development continuing until 03-06z, mainly around the lbt area. By morning, a few areas could see stratus again. This would mainly be at the inland areas. Fair weather cumulus and a few thunderstorms possible on Tuesday, but otherwise a quiet period. Extended... Moisture returns on Monday evening leading to enhanced chances of afternoon storms and morning stratus br throughout the period. Marine Seabreeze-enhanced winds of around 15-18 kt will continue into the evening near shore. Otherwise, bermuda high is the main synoptic feature on the map in the near term, and will yield south-southwest winds of 10-15 kt overnight. There will be a small chance for isolated showers tstms developing overnight, however any development should die off once the morning sea breeze circulation kicks in on Tuesday. Southerly winds around 15 kt will persist on Tuesday. Seas will be comprised of southerly 2-3 ft waves around 4 seconds, and a 1-2 ft southeast swell at 9-10 seconds. Bermuda high and piedmont trough will maintain south to southwest flow through the end of the week. Speeds will vary from around 10 kt overnight and in the morning increasing to near 15 kt with higher gusts in the afternoon and evening. Seas 2 to 3 ft in the morning will build closer to 3 ft with occasional 4 ft late in the afternoon evening in response to the increase in winds. Seas will be dominated by a south to southwest wind wave, around 4 seconds, with some southeast swell component around 10 seconds developing late in the week. Ilm watches warnings advisories Sc...

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
