Area Discussion for - Newport/Morehead City, NC
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kmhx 191947 afdmhx area forecast discussion national weather service newport morehead city nc 347 pm edt Mon aug 19 2019 Synopsis High pressure offshore will extend west into eastern north carolina through mid week as a weak trough of low pressure lingers well inland. A cold front will slowly approach the area late this week and then cross the area next weekend. Near term tonight As of 330 pm mon... Scattered thunderstorms remain possible through the afternoon and into early evening across mainly inland areas. A few storms could become strong to severe, with damaging winds being the primary threat given CAPE values near or over 3000 j kg and dcape values of 1000-1500 j kg. Convective activity will wane with the loss of solar insulation. The area will remain between a well established bermuda ridge offshore and developing troughing inland. Inland areas will decouple shortly after sunset while coastal areas see persistent light southwest winds as the high ridges strongly to our south. Dry conditions are expected, though a stray shower or two over the beaches cant be completely ruled out. Patchy fog is possible for locations that decouple and can remain clear enough for efficient radiational cooling - which is expected to occur mainly inland. Lows will be several degrees above normal as a warm and humid airmass remains in place. Short term Tuesday As of 330 pm mon... High pressure ridging into the area from the east and south will dominate once again on Tuesday. Troughing inland will be a bit stronger, and a bit more storm coverage than today is possible. Still, it will overall be a similar day to today with isolated to scattered convection away from the beaches and the potential for a few strong storms producing gusty winds. Temps will be a degree or two cooler than today, owing primarily to increased cirrus coverage. Long term Tuesday night through Monday As of 245 am mon... High pressure will extend over the area through Thursday with only scattered thunderstorms expected. Then, a slow moving cold front will approach from the north late in the week, and should eventually cross the area this weekend, which would lead to another period of unsettled weather. Tuesday night through Thursday... Scattered afternoon thunderstorms are expected through Thursday with a weak lee trough forming over central nc, and continued possible convective initiation along the sea breeze each day. Very little wind shear will keep convection disorganized. 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 Sunday... The base of an upper level trough will swing into the southern appalachians Friday, as a cold front drops south through virginia. Precip chances will be increasing |
Friday as storms fire along and south of the front in a hot and humid airmass. Thereafter guidance diverges, with the latest run of the gfs aggressively pushing the front south of the region on Friday before stalling (and then pushing back north late in the weekend), whereas the latest ECMWF develops an area of low pressure along the front Friday in southern va which halts the progression of the front southward until later in the weekend when the front moves eastward through the area. Will keep generally 40-50% pops for Friday and the weekend, and hope for some better model consensus in the next cycle. Aviation 19z Monday through Saturday Short term through Tuesday ... as of 140 pm mon... High res models are suggesting more coverage with scattered thunderstorms this afternoon, which have begun to show up on radar. Any storms would produce brief sub-VFR conditions. Convective activity will diminish after sunset. Overnight fog is once again possible early Tue morning, given the similar airmass. Long term Tuesday night through Friday ... as of 255 am mon... MostlyVFR conditions this week, with scattered convection expected during the afternoons and evenings. Patchy fog also possible in the early mornings with high dewpoints and rather light winds. Marine Short term through Tuesday ... as of 330 pm mon... Bermuda high pressure ridging south of the area will remain in control. Light to moderate southeast winds prevail, though winds may occasionally become more west- southwest as the strength of the ridging to the south subtly varies. Seas around 2-4 ft prevail in mainly locally generated windswell. Long term Tuesday night through Friday ... as of 255 am mon... Decent boating conditions are expected for most of the upcoming week. Winds will be mostly SW 10-15 through Wednesday afternoon, before increasing to ssw 15-20 kts Wednesday evening through Friday morning. Seas will be 2-4 ft through Wednesday, and then increase to 3-5 ft early Wednesday night. Conditions Wednesday night through Thursday night will likely be close to small craft over most of the coastal waters, with wind gusts near 25 kts and seas around 5 feet.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
