SYNOPSIS
High pressure prevails through much of the week, keeping the area mostly dry with temperatures near normal. Just a slight chance of showers ahead of a cold front Thursday and Friday, mainly near the coast. After the front moves through, this weekend brings the biggest dose of fall seen so far this season.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Persistence forecast through Wednesday as surface high pressure off to the northeast prevails. NBM has performed reasonably well for temperatures and expect lows tonight to reach the middle to upper 50s. Highs Wednesday will similar to today's values mainly in the lower 80s. Little to no cloud cover expected as the mid level blocking pattern remains firm.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
Moisture on the increase this period, not that it really means much. Offshore high pressure continues the deep easterly flow, becoming a bit more southeasterly by Thursday evening. Lows Wednesday night a bit warmer this time...low 60s for most, with upper 50s in the far inland areas within the SC Pee Dee region.
Will see mostly an increase in cloud cover Thursday, though the sun won't be blocked out. Highs again in the low 80s, with dewpoints escalating quickly into the mid-to-upper 60s. Offshore showers may try to scrape the coast in the afternoon, particularly along and north of Cape Fear. Thursday night feels almost muggy, with lows in the low-to-mid 60s.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Moisture continues to increase Friday ahead of a cold front.
Still, not much rain associated with this front, with only a slight chance of showers in the coastal regions by Friday afternoon. Seeing slightly more instability this forecast cycle, but it's still not enough to include thunder in the forecast for now. Want to give it one more day to see how it looks. Once again, highs in the low 80s. Rain chances taper off after sunset, with the speed of the front seemingly picking up a bit from yesterday. Lows Friday night a degree or two cooler than the previous night.
Calling all fall lovers: This is where the forecast gets fun.
Front should be well offshore by Saturday morning. Likely will see some wrap-around moisture coming in Saturday, but not very confident in this producing anything in the way of a stray shower or drizzle. A strong dose of fall air starts infiltrating the area, with winds now out of the northwest. Highs Saturday in the upper 70s.
Jeans and hoodies will be needed by Saturday night and the nights thereafter, with widespread lows in the upper 40s. Highs struggle to hit 70 Sunday and Monday, before rebounding a bit to the mid 70s by Tuesday. Open the windows, put on a scary movie, and carve a pumpkin!
AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
VFR conditions expected through the period as a persistence forecast remains in place.
Extended Outlook...Confidence is high in mostly VFR conditions prevailing through Thu, although can't rule out mainly late night/early morning low clouds and/or fog mid week as low-level moisture increases.
MARINE
Through Wednesday...Persistence forecast applies to the coastal waters forecast as well. Winds will be from the northeast in a range of 15-20 knots perhaps leaning toward the lower end of the range briefly late tonight. Significant seas will be 3-5 feet and although a six footer or two can't be ruled out especially across the outer waters it appears to be sufficiently isolated not to warrant a headline.
Wednesday Night through Sunday...Northeasterly winds expected through Friday, generally 10-15kts, with gusts up to 20-23kts, particularly Thursday. Seas 2-4ft, with a few 5ft waves spotted 20nm from shore. By Friday evening, a cold front approaches the waters, quickly pushing towards the Gulf Stream by Saturday morning. Winds back northerly Friday night, settling on northwest Saturday and Sunday. Wind speeds and seas remain consistent. Swells out of the ENE persist at 8-10 seconds.
