Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 258 AM EDT Thu Jul 2 2020

SYNOPSIS. A weak front will move south of the area this afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms may develop along the front and the sea breeze this afternoon. Weak high pressure will build in from the north for the weekend. Unsettled conditions will return for the start of next week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/. Little changes in weather expected over the next 24 hours. A frontal boundary lingers across the Carolinas today and tonight, which will bring more rounds of afternoon and evening slow moving thunderstorms with heavy downpours of rain. Poor drainage and low lying areas could see some minor flooding in the heaviest downpours. Otherwise, warm again with heat indices in the low to mid 90s. The frontal boundary drops to the south Friday, which may bring some more stable conditions with a more isolated thunderstorm or two possible, but warm and humid conditions continue Friday.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/. Surface boundary will remain stalled south of the area through Sat night with high pressure weakly building in from the north. Deep northerly flow aloft will spread dry air over the forecast area. Precipitable water drops to around 1.2 inches Fri night and hovers around 1.4 inches Sat before creeping up a bit Sat night. Environmental factors should keep the majority of the region dry through Sat night. Cannot rule out a brief, isolated shower along the sea breeze Sat afternoon. However, total rainfall from any such feature would be on the order of a few hundredths. Temperatures will run a few degrees above climo.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. Although confidence in development of a surface wave/low along the front stalled to the south Sun is high, location of the low and its eventual track/timing remain uncertain. Medium range guidance has trended toward a common solution with a weak low passing off the Southeast coast, but the details remain somewhat fuzzy. Heaviest rain should remain offshore as the low passes sometime Tue, but could see some rainfall spread west across the forecast area. Low exits northeast Tue night with surface and mid-level ridging expanding over the region from the southwest Wed.

- Limited rainfall chances Sun increase later Mon and continue into Tue as low passes off the coast.

- Scattered showers and thunderstorms Wed as a more typical summertime pattern returns.

- High temperatures near normal Sun drop a little below climo Mon/Tue then return near normal Wed.

- Lows will run a few degrees above climo.

AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Scattered mid deck with patchy fog for NC terminals and SC terminals along the coast. Calm winds become easterly later today with vicinity showers and thunderstorms developing again this afternoon.

Extended Outlook . Isolated showers and thunderstorms Fri thru the upcoming weekend. Stormy afternoon and evenings possible into early next week. Early morning MVFR/IFR conditions possible from BR and low stratus.

MARINE. Fairly benign sea conditions with significant wave heights between 2 and 3 feet for the next 36 hours. Main wind wave expected from the southwest between 4 and 6 seconds and a southeast swell between 9 and 11 seconds. Several wind shifts over the next 36 hours starting from the east today shifting to the north tonight. North winds continue into Friday then shifting to the south, mainly at 10 kts or less with gusts to 20 kts at times near the coast and beyond 15 NM. Showers and thunderstorms could develop during the afternoon and evening hours, some of which may bring locally higher winds and waves. Moderate risk for rip currents for east facing NC beaches today.

Weak high pressure building in from the north this weekend will result in light northerly flow at night. The sea breeze will mask the synoptic wind field, resulting in south to southeast flow Sat and Sun. Low pressure will move northeast, toward the waters, along a stalled surface boundary Mon, increasing southeast winds. Seas around 2 ft through Sun will build to 3 to 4 ft Sun night and 3 to 5 ft Mon. The southerly wind wave will continue to be dominant, potentially becoming a southeast wind wave late Mon. An easterly swell will continue through Mon.

ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. SC . None. NC . None. MARINE . None.

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.
