Area Discussion for - Newport/Morehead City, NC
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 210237 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 1037 pm edt Tue aug 20 2019 Synopsis High pressure offshore will extend west into eastern north carolina through mid week as a trough lingers well inland. A cold front will slowly approach the area late this week and into the weekend. Near term overnight As of 1030 pm Tuesday... Only small changes to the ongoing forecast with the late evening update, mainly to capture trends in hourly elements. Will maintain dry forecast through much of tonight due to lack of convective initiation lift across eastern nc. The bermuda high pressure ridging just south of the area will remains in control overnight. Most inland areas will decouple, but radiational cooling will be inhibited by persistent cirrus coverage through the night. The warm and humid airmass in place will keep lows several degrees above normal. As we approach sunrise, a shortwave trough aloft will approach from the west and may produce showers and thunderstorms along our western counties from duplin north to pitt martin. Short term Wednesday As of 3 pm tue... A weak upper low over the sc upstate this afternoon will slide across the nc piedmont Wednesday as it is absorbed into a shortwave trough passing across the great lakes and northeast. The attendant surface low will remain very weak as it passes inland through the day before deepening as it moves into the mid-atlantic late in the afternoon. Thunderstorm coverage is expected to be greatest for inland areas in closer proximity to the enhanced lift inland, though increased cloud cover with the low will limit thermodynamic instability to some extent. Closer to the coast, isolated to scattered convection is to tap with the sea breeze and outflow boundary collisions. Highs will be a couple of degrees above normal, with low level thickness values favoring highs near 90 away from the beaches under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Long term Wednesday night through Tuesday As of 240 am tues... High pressure will extend over the area through Thursday with only scattered thunderstorms expected. A cold front will approach the area Friday, and then slowly cross through the forecast area over the weekend, leading to another period of unsettled weather. Wednesday night and Thursday... Scattered afternoon thunderstorms are expected again Thursday with a weak lee trough forming over central nc, and continued possible convective initiation along the sea breeze each day. Also expecting some nocturnal offshore convection to blossom and move over coastal areas in the overnight hours both Wednesday and Thursday nights. High temps will be slightly above average through this period, with readings in the low 90s inland and the mid to upper 80s along the coast. Warm and humid nights will continue. Friday through Monday... Major model differences remain from Friday through early next week as a cold front moves south into the area. The latest GFS still shows a quick moving front dropping into nc on Friday and then sinking south of the area by Friday night... And into the deep south by the end of the weekend. In this solution Friday and the first half of Saturday would be very wet, with drier and much cooler air moving into the region. Meanwhile the latest ECMWF shows a slower moving front still in southern va Friday night, which finally crosses into the area by Sunday... And then stalls just south of the forecast area, which would lead to an extended period of unsettled weather Saturday through at least Monday. |
Will continue to hedge towards a middle solution, but with much of the upper level trough remaining north of the area and with the current time of year in mind, would tend to favor a solution closer to the ECMWF with a slow moving front eventually stalling around or just south of the area. So, will keep high chance pops in the forecast from Friday into early next week. Temperatures will likely be slightly below normal through this period with highs mostly in the low to mid 80s, and low temps seasonably cool in the 60s and low 70s. Aviation 03z Wednesday through Sunday Short term through Wednesday ... as of 720 pm Tuesday... PredominantlyVFR conditions expected through the TAF period. Southerly flow and cirrus aloft should prevent strong decoupled of surface winds, and thus inhibit fog low stratus development overnight. An upper trough will slowly move through the piedmont section of central nc late tonight through Wednesday, and may aid in producing showers and thunderstorms for western TAF sites of pgv and iso after sunrise. Afternoon diurnally-driven showers and thunderstorms will again be possible on Wednesday afternoon. Long term Wednesday night through Sunday ... as of 300 am tue... MostlyVFR conditions expected through Friday morning, with scattered convection expected during the afternoons and evenings. Then Friday afternoon through much of the weekend, low visibilities and ceilings are possible as a cold front moves into the area and rain chances increase. Patchy fog also possible in the early mornings with high dewpoints and rather light winds. Marine Short term tonight and Wednesday ... as of 1035 pm Tuesday... Latest surface and buoy data indicate sw winds 5-15 kt with some gusts near 20 kt for the outer fringes of the coastal waters. Seas remain 1-3 ft. Bermuda high pressure will continue to be the dominant feature through Wednesday, keeping southwest winds in place. Wednesday, low pressure developing over the mid-atlantic later in the day will tighten the gradient locally in the afternoon, with moderate winds becoming breezy through the day. The gradient will be tight enough that occasional to frequent gusts to 25 kt are possible mainly for the sounds and coastal waters north of cape lookout by late afternoon, and a small craft advisory may be needed. Seas will be mainly be around 3 ft through tonight, increasing to 3 to 5 ft as increasing winds develop more locally generated wind swell by late Wednesday afternoon. Long term Wednesday through Saturday ... as of 300 am tue... Winds will be SW 15-20 kts Wednesday night through Friday morning, with gusts up to around 25 kts along the coastal waters and pamlico sound. Winds will weaken and turn to the west, and eventually north, as a cold front crosses the region on Saturday. Seas will be 2-4 ft through Wednesday night, and then increase to 3-5 ft early Thursday morning through Friday afternoon, with some 6 foot seas possible along the outer coastal waters. Seas then continue to subside to 2-4 on Saturday. Mhx watches warnings advisories Nc... None. Marine... None. Synopsis... Mhx near term... Dag cb short term... Cb long term... Sgk aviation...

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. |
