Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 255 PM EDT Sun Aug 9 2020

SYNOPSIS. High pressure offshore and a weak trough of low pressure inland will maintain warm and humid conditions with scattered showers and thunderstorms through most of the week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/. Not unlike yesterday deep convection is largely failing to materialize outside of the immediate Cape Fear vicinity. The SPC mesoanalysis page suggests that this could wind up remaining the case in the very near term. Towards evening focus should shift to inland even as storms remain quite isolated in coverage. Additionally storms may linger longer than normal into the evening as some weak PVA impinges from the west. Models have trended pretty aggressive with regards to convective coverage tomorrow. Granted a healthier shortwave should be approaching the continued dry air so evident in water vapor should still be largely present, at least in the mid to upper levels. Have raised POPs some but not to the high/likely values hinted at in the more aggressive guidance.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/. A slow moving shortwave will move into the Tennessee Valley during the period and assist in keeping a weakness across the southeast while ridging builds across the southwest. Good chance pops reside across all areas both Tuesday and Wednesday. High temperatures seem to have wobbled slightly cooler but for the most part upper 80s or so. No changes with the morning lows in the 70s.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. No real changes to the extended period. There are some indications of the Bermuda/Azores ridge building westward later in the period which may slightly diminish convective coverage but mostly left the inherited values in place. Highs will be mostly in the upper 80s and lows in the lower to middle 70s.

AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. Mostly VFR throughout the 18Z TAF period. Scattered convection from the seabreeze has started to fire up on the NC side, but it's rather quiet on the SC side, outside of a shower in southern Georgetown County. Think this trend will continue through the afternoon. KILM and KLBT will have the greatest chances of recording brief flight restrictions of MVFR/IFR with storms. Seabreeze and convection settles after this evening. Fog/low stratus becoming a bigger concern before sunrise Monday morning. Model guidance shows more of a widespread trend in the area, but unsure of some of the details. Overall, think that KFLO and KLBT have the greatest potential of seeing the thickest fog, of which could go down into IFR. Coastal terminals may also see fog, but think it'll be more in the MVFR neighborhood. Fog should clear out by 12-13Z along the coast. Depending how thick it is inland, fog may not clear out in that area until more like 13-14Z. Towards the end of the period, seabreeze kicks back up and have represented VCTS at all terminals.

Extended Outlook . Isolated thunderstorms will continue through next week, although coverage will be isolated to scattered. Any storms could bring brief IFR conditions in low visibility.

MARINE. Very little changing with respect to winds and seas through Monday night. Both will be quite minimal; the former driven by a poorly defined pressure gradient and the latter by the same as well as the lack of any swell energy.

Winds and seas for the most part will be driven by the flow around Bermuda High pressure and local sea breeze affects. There could be some winds north of 10-15 knots via the sea breeze at times but for the most part 10 to 15 will be most common. Significant seas will be 2-3 feet.

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.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
