Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 403 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

SYNOPSIS
Low pressure will pass to the south and east through tonight while colder air moves in from the north causing some wintry precipitation later today into Thursday morning. Mainly dry and much colder weather is expected late in the week as Canadian high pressure builds in from the west. A warming trend will then kick off early next week with dry weather expected.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Approaching offshore low pressure bringing in increased moisture will make for a period of freezing rain from this afternoon through tonight. Rain chances will increase from the coast towards inland through the morning, but we'll only start seeing those lower temperatures once the system is to our E/NE and colder air starts to wrap around the back of it. This will result in a transition from rain to freezing rain. From the previous forecast, ice accumulation has gone up slightly for our area prompting an expansion of the winter weather advisory into more of our NE SC counties sans coastal Georgetown. Some hi-res guidance is coming in with much higher totals to our NE, but have opted to only marginally increase totals above a tenth of an inch for our NE counties. Elsewhere, ice accumulation should be between a trace to up and around 0.05", with generally decreasing totals the further SW in the CWA As the system continues off to the E/NE overnight, precip chances will shift offshore and come to an end late tonight as dry air pools in and PWATs fall to near 0.5". Have lowered highs and lows from guidance for today to near the 25th percentile. Highs will occur early today as the low pushes by from the SW, temps in the mid 30s inland and upper 40s at the coast. Tonights lows will be in the mid to upper 20s.

SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/
Key Messages: *Very light wintry precip possible Thu AM *Below normal temps through the period w/ wind chills at or below 15 degrees likely Thu night into early Fri

Confidence: *Moderate to High

Details: *Although surface low pressure offshore will be moving farther away Thu, trailing shortwave energy aloft will keep the risk for some light wintry precip Thu AM, mainly in the form of freezing rain/drizzle or even snow if the moisture is deep enough.
Temperatures should start rising above freezing by mid-morning in SC and late morning in NC, although could stay around freezing into early afternoon across far northern/western areas closer to the SC Pee Dee/NC Sandhills. So motorists should use extra caution in these areas, especially if driving on elevated roadways such as bridges and overpasses. Highs Thu should not get much warmer than 40 for most of the area, especially inland. This will set the stage for a very cold night with lows near 20 for much of the area away from the immediate coast early Fri. Some wind will make it feel even colder with wind chills as low as about 10-15 degrees and thus a Cold Weather Advisory is likely. Slightly warmer temps are expected Fri with highs generally in the mid 40s with plenty of sun. Rather ideal radiational cooling conditions should occur Fri night as high pressure moves more overhead, although the amount of higher clouds will likely determine just how favorable conditions are. Some of the normally colder spots such as Back Island could drop into the mid to upper teens but should stay above Cold Weather Advisory thresholds for the most part.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Key Messages: *No significant weather anticipated

Confidence: *Moderate to High

Details: *High pressure should generally prevail with mostly dry weather and slowly moderating temps. Low pressure could develop offshore this weekend leading to mainly some coastal showers but overall no significant rain chances are expected. Temps should be below normal through the weekend before getting back closer to normal Mon with highs in the lower 60s.

AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Confidence moderate to high through the 06Z TAF period.
The only terminals with no mention of FZRA are KCRE/KMYR where confidence is lowest on more than a trace of FZRA, otherwise other terminals have been given mention of this hazard which should start inland expanding to the coast during the afternoon through the evening as temperatures drop to and below freezing. Beforehand, RA will expand inland from the coast due to low pressure offshore.
Restrictions also expected for CIGs /VSBYs with a little staggering possible between MVFR and IFR (a couple hours, 16-18Z), but with the complicated forecast have opted to go with predominant worst conditions. IFR likely through a majority of the period, with lower confidence on LIFR as it's possible near the end of the period.

Extended Outlook...High confidence in IFR possibly persisting into Thursday morning where there's a non-zero chance for some snow, particularly inland. Restrictions improve late Thursday morning, eventually becoming VFR again later in the day. From there, high confidence in VFR through Sunday.

MARINE
Through Tonight...SCA conditions will become established through the morning from NE to SW as NE winds increase to 15-20 kts with higher gusts ~30 kts. 6 ft seas may stick to the NC coastal waters but they are possible around 20nm offshore from our SC coast. Degraded conditions will continue through the period as offshore low pressure moves from the SW to our NE tonight, winds becoming more N/NW by the end of the period.

Thursday through Sunday...Moderate to High confidence. Low pressure will be moving farther off to the NE Thu allowing high pressure to build in leading to improving conditions. A Small Craft Advisory is likely later Thu into early Fri. Benign conditions should then persist into early next week assuming possible low pressure offshore Sun stays far enough east of the area.
