Fxus62 kilm 260548 afdilm area forecast discussion national weather service wilmington nc 148 am edt Mon aug 26 2019 Synopsis High pressure will extend south into the carolinas, while low pressure of tropical origin tracks north well offshore. A cold front will cross the area late Wednesday into Thursday, and may stall nearby next weekend. Near term through Tuesday Wedge conditions in full effect this afternoon with mostly cloudy skies and some light radar returns. A sporadic observations or two is reporting drizzle and or light rain and will advertise this for a few more hours. Essentially a persistence forecast with clouds and cool temperatures and a bit on the breezy side. Clouds should slowly mix through the period with partly cloudy skies later tonight and Monday. The cooler guidance has been better for temperatures and leaned toward these numbers through the period with dry conditions. Short term Tuesday night through Wednesday night Looking at mid to upper level flow rather zonal for most of this period with embedded weak S W trofs, ie. Vorts, passing thru. It's at the end of this period where the flow aloft slightly amplifies which is able to push an eastward moving sfc cold front closer to the fa. Tue will see low chance pops with CAPE availability remains quite limited. For Wed thru wed night, look for an increase to 20-40 pops as moisture increases thru the atm column and CAPE becoming more avbl. Activity both days will primarily be diurnally driven. MAX temps near normal and night time lows at or slightly above normal. Long term Thursday through Sunday Beginning of this period will highlight the slow push of the cold front across the fa Thu and moving off the ilm CWA coast before stalling. Pops will be at their highest during the thu into Fri timeline. Then back down to climo pops for the remainder of the long term period. Models are indicating the weakly amplified mid-upper trof at the beginning of this period to retreat back to the north Sat thru sun. Pops could increase to above climo during the last 2 days of this period and will depend on the stalled sfc boundary still existing at this time, with the possibility of it returning back inland and to the north, and ultimately moving back across the fa. Will indicate at pops at 30 which is climo for the 2 days and wait until some model consistency to change the pops. MAX temps this period will hang around the climo norms, with min temps at or slightly hier than the norm especially across the coastal counties within the fa. Aviation 06z Monday through Friday As of 0545z... A mish-mash of clouds butVFR area-wide. Bkn035 may develop aft 9z, through 14z, isolated bkn015 near the coast where richer low-level moisture will ebb onshore during peak in diurnal maximum humidity.VFR continues this afternoon, NE wind

to prevail, possibly E near the coast at times 19z-23z, 9 kt or less sustained, isolated gusts to 16 kt, diminishing to NE 4 kt or less after 1z, backing to NE along the coast after dusk. Extended... MainlyVFR. Next frontal system Wed Thu timeframe may bring additional restrictions. Marine Tonight thru Mon night: small craft conditions almost there and with gusts its essentially in place. More of a marginal event with the latest guidance. Six footers should enter the spectrum shortly and remain so through midday Monday. These seas are courtesy of a persistent northeast flow of 15-20 knots with the aforementioned higher gusts. Speeds will diminish somewhat Monday afternoon to 10- 15 knots. It should be noted the tropical entity offshore could still pose a threat although chances are near remote. If it finally develops the most likely impacts would be to increase the gradient and subsequently wind speeds. Tue thru fri: a somewhat chaotic sfc pressure pattern thru most of this period and along with that a rather weak sfc pg to exist. This will result in wind directions all over the place, however will identify a direction in lieu of going variable. Speeds 10 to possibly 15 kt tue, otherwise 10 kt or less Tue night thru thu night. Depending on the strength of the mesoscale sea breeze, winds within 10 nm of the coast from midday thru early evening each day, could temporarily reach around 15 kt. For late thu into fri, models hint of a cold front reaching the east coast and stalling along or just off the carolina coasts. Could see ne-ene at 10-15 kt due to a slightly tighten sfc pg. Significant seas will run 2 to 4 ft Tue with wind driven waves at 4 to 5 second periods common. With synoptic wind speeds rather negligent to wind driven wave production, the ese becoming E swell at 7 to 8 second periods will dominate. At the height of the sea breeze, seas nearshore will be dominated by wind waves. For Wed thru fri, seas will depend on how much the tropical entity intensifies and if it stays closer to the coast after passing CAPE hatteras. The back swell from this system could become a factor for the remainder of the week. Ilm watches warnings advisories Sc... None. Nc... None. Marine... Small craft advisory until noon edt today for amz250-252-254- 256. Near term... 8 short term... Dch long term... Dch aviation... Colby marine... Dch shk

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.
