Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 934 AM EST Sat Feb 8 2025

SYNOPSIS
High pressure centered to the north pushes offshore this afternoon while at the same time a stalled front to the south lifts north as a warm front bringing scattered showers to the area today. A cold front will then move through Sunday. An unsettled pattern will continue through the middle of next week with multiple fronts impacting the area as the upper level pattern becomes more amplified.

NEAR TERM /TODAY/
As of 935 AM Sat...No significant changes needed to previous forecast for am update, just tweaking to reflect current trends.
Widespread low clouds and light rain ongoing along the Outer Banks this morning. High pressure to the north will gradually slide eastward through the day, while front to the south slowly lifts northward as a warm front and weak low pressure develops along it. Areas of light rain possible through the day. Highest chances south of Hwy 70 in the morning with chances then shifting to the north of Hwy 70 this afternoon before pushing offshore this evening. Widespread clouds early, with cloud cover gradually improving as the day progresses. Temps will be tricky and will be dependent on movement of the front. Decent gradient with highs ranging from the upper 40s/low 50s across the northern tier, to the upper 50s and mid 60s across the southern forecast area.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/
As of 3 AM Sat...Warm front will be well north of the area by this evening allowing for increasing SW'rly flow overnight across ENC with gusts up near 20-25 mph at times especially across the Coastal Plain. This will result in continued improvement in cloud cover at least to start this evening.
However, a cold front will then be approaching from the northwest near daybreak on Sunday once again allowing for increased cloud cover starting from the NW and moving SE'wards late overnight into Sun morning. The next challenge for tonight will be the potential for fog development. While guidance continues to hint at seafog developing and pushing onshore mainly from 10PM and beyond, any gusty winds may limit the fog potential. For now given the consistent signal have left fog mainly across the N'rn zones and offshore waters along the Crystal Coast and N'rn OBX this evening with fog quickly dissipating near daybreak on Sunday. The second challenge will be the temps for tonight. Given the latest forecast looks like lows will be at sunset with temps gradually increasing through the night as lows go from the upper 40s to upper 50s near sunset and increasing to the mid 50s to low 60s by daybreak Sun.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
As of 0400 Saturday...Unsettled pattern with multiple frontal systems impacting the area through the weekend and into next week. Midweek onward, more dynamic upper level pattern leads to greater chances for more substantial rainfall amounts with each wave/front.

Sunday's cold front will continue the windshield washer effect of warm-(relatively)cold-warm between fronts with strong SWerly flow in the lower levels allowing MaxTs to reach into the low 70s ahead of the front. Low end chance of light showers along the E-W oriented boundary as it slowly sinks Sward through the day to eventually stall S of the FA yet again, but further N than recent FROPAs. This will keep the front aloft almost directly overhead into the early week which will help to focus moisture influx into an area of isentropic lift over the cool high pressure at the SFC first part of next week.

Upper level finally breaks away from the mostly zonal flow as digging shortwave across the PACNW leads to more dynamic pattern aloft with cool high pressure at the SFC finally pushing offshore as the next wave works up the SECONUS coast. As the upper level trough deepens over Wern CONUS through the early week, the chances of a more meaningful wetting rain increase, peaking late next week/weekend as the axis of the developing trough aloft approaches toward the end of the period.

AVIATION /14Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
SHORT TERM /through tonight/...
As of 710 AM Sat...Ceilings have begun to crash across ENC this morning with MVFR ceilings now noted across much of the area with the lone exceptions being NOBX and the Crystal Coast, though this should change soon. Once the entire area sees MVFR ceilings they should stick around through the day today as a warm front gradually lifts N'wards. This frontal passage will also be accompanied by some light shower activity as well, though minimal impacts from these showers are expected. As we get into this afternoon, there is a chance for some IFR ceilings mainly between 18-00Z today, but recent guidance has backed off this threat so only left a SCT007 deck of clouds in the TAFs this afternoon for all sites given the increased uncertainty. As we get into this evening cloud cover should gradually dissipate from SW to NE with light and variable winds today becoming SW'rly this evening and increasing to 10-15 kts with gusts up near 20 kts at times as a cold front approaches from the north and west. Visibilities generally remain above 5 miles through the period at all terminals though seafog may bring down visibilities along the Crystal Coast and OBX after 00Z Sun.
Finally as we get into Sat night, guidance has hinted at the potential for LLWS to develop, mainly across PGV/ISO terminals.

LONG TERM /Sunday through Wednesday/...
As of 0415 Saturday...Progressive pattern in place through long term with the cycle of cold FROPA, stalling to the S, lifting N as a warm front ahead of the next cold front repeats multiple times this weekend and next week which will lead to multiple cycles of low CIGs with rain associated with cold FROPA, low stratus and/or fog in wake of cold FROPA or around or near warm fronts as they pass. Brief improvement to flight cats Sat night/Sun but SWerly winds strengthen ahead of approaching cold front which is expected to bring more rain and flight restrictions later Sun. SFC front stalls S of the area with boundary aloft overhead through Tuesday, making rain and flight restrictions likely.

MARINE
SHORT TERM /through tonight/...
As of 935 AM Sat...Latest obs show NE winds 15-25 kt with seas 3-6 ft (highest outer central waters). Extended SCA for the Pamlico Sound for a few hours based on current obs. High pressure is currently centered to the north with previously mentioned cold front stalled to the south of NC. This front should begin lifting north as a warm front later this morning.
High pressure to the north will gradually slides eastward through the day, while front stalled to the south slowly lifts northward as a warm front and weak low pressure develops along it. NE winds start off Sat morning, with flow becoming more east and then southerly through the day. SE winds will increase to 15-25 kt across the central waters with seas building to 4-6 ft here and remaining at 3-5 ft elsewhere. Winds eventually become SW'rly overnight and increase slightly to 20- 30 kts across the coastal waters and Pamlico Sound with seas also increasing further to 5-7 ft tonight as the SW'rly flow develops. As a result SCA's will likely be reintroduced across the Pamlico Sound for tonight as well as our northern and southern coastal waters starting between 03-05Z and persisting through the rest of the period. Ongoing SCA across the central waters will remain in place through the period given a combination of gusty winds today and tonight as well as elevated seas.

LONG TERM /Sunday through Wednesday/...
As of 0415 Saturday...Long term will be a perpetual bounce between just below SCA criteria and strong SCA approaching Gale conditions as multiple cold fronts cross, stall, and lift to cross waters again multiple times through the upcoming week.
Conditions deteriorate further late in the weekend ahead of the next front to pass through from N to S Sunday, strengthening winds further SWerly 15-30kt, some gusts to Gales possible over outermost waters ahead of the front. Quick hitting NEerly surge to follow FROPA, which also carries potential for gale force gusts. Front stalls over or just S of Sernmost waters, keeping NEerly 15-25kt winds in place through Tuesday morning when the next wave will lift the stalled boundary Nward as a warm front, which will very quickly be followed by the next front Tuesday night.

MHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
