Area Discussion for - Newport/Morehead City, NC
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 181418 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 1018 am edt Thu jul 18 2019 Synopsis The area will remain between subtropical high pressure offshore and a weak troughing inland through early next week. A front will approach and stall near the area by the middle of next week. Near term until 6 pm this evening As of 1015 am thu... Much of the cirrus clouds are working its way east of the area very slowly, but the low stratus coverage mainly along the coast remains. Made minor adjustments to the temperature forecast, but it will depend on the evolution of this cirrus and low stratus over the next few hours. Even the temperature adjustments (trimmed a degree or two), temperatures are expected to rebound quickly as soon as the clouds clear. A weak shortwave will shift over eastern north carolina today. Relatively dry mid-levels this morning will moisten by this afternoon as the main lobe of shortwave energy, based around 600 mb, moves overhead. CAPE values around 3000-3500 j kg expected across much of the area, with values of 4000+ j kg possible for locations that remain sunny well into the afternoon. Hi-res guidance indicates that greatest coverage and intensity of storms this afternoon will occur along a corridor from jacksonville to new bern to belhaven. A few storms producing gusty winds and hail are possible, but lack of shear will discourage storm organization and widespread severe weather is not anticipated. Hot conditions will continue, with highs reaching into the mid to upper 90s for locations where cloud coverage remains minimal into the afternoon, with persistent high humidity bringing heat index values of around 105 or slightly higher, and prompting the issuance of a heat advisory for the entire area. Short term 6 pm this evening through 6 am Friday As of 330 am thu... The very weak shortwave will breakdown into more of a generally weakness in the trough aloft tonight. Deep layer moisture and conditional instability will keep at least a mention of slight chance pops in the forecast overnight, with greatest chances near the greater low level lapse rates over the ocean. Generally warm and muggy conditions persist with lows about 5 to 10 degrees above normal for most. Long term Friday through Wednesday As of 330 am thu... The long term period will be characterized by mainly zonal upper level flow across the northern CONUS with the southern u.S. Stuck under a broad ridge through the end of the week. By the beginning of next week, a deepening low over the gulf of alaska will help promote a more amplified pattern across the CONUS with strong ridging over the west and a deepening trough over the east. The resultant impacts to eastern nc weather is a typical summer surface pattern into early next week with high pressure over the western atlantic and a trough of low pressure inland. By the end of the period, the more pronounced upper troughing will help push a front into the region and increase precip coverage across the region. Fri... On Fri hgts begin to build back over the region as ridge expands eastward. Maintained small chance pop for typical diurnal shra tsra with better chc inland. Hot temps and high humidity will cont Fri with apparent temps at or above 105 most spots in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday... Continued hot and very humid for the weekend with similar temperatures both days. Thicknesses increase with 850 mb temps reaching 20+ c across eastern nc. As the upper level trough begins to amplify to the west heights will fall some Sunday, but temperatures will be very similar. Expect highs over the weekend to average in the mid to upper 90s. Dew points remain high and heat indices will range 105 to 110. Scattered convection is possible along the sea breeze each day but with the ridge firmly in control coverage will be limited. Capping pops at 30% for the period. Monday thru wed... A break in the heat is finally in sight as the upper level trough amplifies, dropping heights across the |
region and helping to usher a front south across the mid- atlantic and into the carolinas by mid-week. There are still model differences regarding timing and progression of the front which precludes likely pops for now, but the best chance of precip looks to be sometime Tuesday. Regardless, the front will be accompanied with deep moisture and a pronounced mid- level shortwave. It should be noted the front is expected to stall with plenty of moisture to work with (pwats of 2+ inches) and multiple subtle lobes of mid-level energy riding along the boundary. Thus some respectable rainfall totals are possible, although the question of where the front stalls remains unanswered. Behind the front highs will struggle to crack 90, and fall even farther by the middle of the week. Aviation 14z Thursday through Monday Short term through Thu night ... as of 7 am thu...VFR conditions will prevail through the period in southwest flow that will become gusty this morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to form across the area this afternoon, with hi-res guidance consistently indicating that storm coverage and duration will be highest near new bern and along the sea breeze this afternoon, but at least brief flight restrictions are possible at all terminals during passing showers and thunderstorms. Long term Friday through Monday ... as of 330 am thu... Typical summertime pattern this period with high pressure offshore and a trough of low pressure inland, with mainly scattered showers and storms Thu and fri, and more isolated coverage Sat and sun. As ridge begins to break down mon may see an uptick in shra tsra. Patchy fog or stratus will be possible early each morning, especially in areas that receive rain. Marine Short term through tonight ... as of 1015 am thu... Moderate southwesterly winds this morning will trend upwards by midday, bringing wind gusts of 25 to 30 kt to water bodies most exposed to southwesterly winds. A small craft advisory remains in effect for the coastal waters and sounds south of oregon inlet, with the potential for occasional winds to 25 kt across the croatan and roanoke sounds early the afternoon, but the duration too short to justify inclusion in the sca. Seas will increase to 4 to 6 ft in response to the winds, with elevated winds and seas persisting through tonight. Long term Friday through Monday ... as of 230 pm wed... Tight pressure gradient will cont through fri between inland surface trough and offshore high pres. This will result in moderate SW flow 15-25 kt Thu night thru Friday with some 6 ft seas expected outer central SRN wtrs where sca will be up. The gradient relaxes somewhat Fri night thru Sunday with winds dropping to 10 to 20 kts and seas 3 to 5 ft. As front approaches early next week SW winds increase again to 15 to 25 kt Mon with again some 6 foot seas outer wtrs. Mhx watches warnings advisories Nc...
