Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 210 AM EDT Tue Apr 20 2021
SYNOPSIS. Low pressure will lift northeast of the region tonight with high pressure crossing Tuesday. A strong cold front moves through the area late Wednesday. High pressure will build in from the west Thursday and Friday. Next storm system will arrive in the region by next weekend.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/. As of 1010 PM Monday . Drier air continues to surge into eastern NC as all precipitation has moved well offshore. Skies have cleared except for a few patches of lower clouds over the central Outer Banks. While north winds remain gusty along the immediate coast, winds have gone calm inland and already some patchy fog is being observed around Greenville. With nearly calm winds and clear skies, the potential for patchy fog will continue through the early morning hours of Tuesday. Lowered minimum temperatures a degree or so based on current readings. Lows tonight mainly mid/upper 40s, with low/mid 50s beaches.
SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/. As of 245 PM Mon . Dry weather expected as transitory high pres slides through ahead of next deep shortwave trough digging through the central plains states. Skies will be PC to mclr with highs near climo in the 70s.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/. As of 330 AM Mon . A strong cold front will push through the area Wednesday afternoon, with much cooler air behind it and potential for frost. A potentially strong low pressure area and cold front will push through next weekend.
Tuesday night through Wednesday . Area will be under influence of strengthening return flow Tue night and esp Wed, as stronger front is progged to push through by late in the day. 19/00z guidance still in good agreement wrt timing, pushing the front offshore by early Wed evening. Global model suite still in disagreement on how much moisture return is available for thunderstorm development. ECM continues more robust with moisture, esp nrn half, and have cont to advertise chc pops here, with only slgt chc south where more iso covg expected. Some sfc based instability forms along with strong shear (50+ kt bulk shear) in place, so if any storms can organize, a strong to marginally severe storm would be possible.
Wednesday night through Friday . Much cooler and drier airmass expected behind the front with high pressure building in from the W. We could have some frost concerns, mainly inland zones. Coldest night still looks to be Thu night/Fri morning as center of high pres will be closer to ENC. EC/GFS mos guidance show lows falling into the low to mid 30s. Have edged temps down a few degrees, advertising widespread mid 30s inland from the coast Fri morning. Highs Thu and Fri generally in the 60s with dewpoints only in the 20s each afternoon.
Saturday through Sunday . Temps rebound quickly back to near climo Sat as progressive shortwave advances eastward through the ern CONUS. 19/00Z global models all have a potential strong storm system and cold front impacting the area by Sat, and have inc pops to low end likelies. The ECM is esp ominous with this system, indicating a deepening low pres system tracking through the cntrl Carolinas. This scenario would certainly produce a severe weather threat, as GOM moisture would be plentiful with deep layer srly flow in place. Second half of the weekend should be dry with subsident flow behind departing system.
AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. Short Term /through 06Z Weds/ . As of 2 AM Tuesday . Clear skies and calm winds inland will bring about increasing patchy fog as radiational cooling persists. At least several hours of IFR to LIFR vis/ceilings possible at all terminals through sunrise, with said conditions ongoing at PGV and EWN already. After sunrise, VFR prevails as light winds in the morning becomes increasingly southerly through the afternoon.
Long Term /Tuesday night through Friday/ . As of 330 AM Mon . Pred VFR conditions expected through the period. Mainly dry Tue night, then another chc of showers or storms Wed as a strong cold front approaches.
MARINE. Short Term /Tonight and Tuesday/ . As of 2 AM Tuesday . 3-5 ft seas and N winds around 10-15 justify dropping the remaining SCAs early this morning. High pres will slide offshore today with light winds in morn becoming S 10 to 15 kt late. Seas mainly 2 to 3 ft today.
Long Term /Tuesday night through Friday/ . As of 330 AM Mon . Have used a heavier blend of the NBM, as NWPS generally too low on seas through the period. A strong cold front will approach the waters Wednesday, pushing through Wednesday afternoon and early evening. SCA conditions likely to develop Wed afternoon with gusty SW flow ahead of the front, then stronger NW winds 20-30 kt and seas 4-7 ft developing behind it. Conditions improve with diminishing winds and seas by Thu.
