10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 229 PM EST Fri Dec 13 2019
SYNOPSIS. An area of low pressure to the south will lift north just inland from the coast tonight. The low will continue to lift north of the region Saturday pushing a cold front through eastern North Carolina. High pressure will build in briefly Sunday and Monday, followed by another cold front on Tuesday.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. As of 230 PM Fri . Latest sfc analysis shows warm front lingering along the coast, with weak low beginning to develop to the south along the front. Quite the temp gradient across the area this afternoon, with inland sites still in the mid 40s and Hatteras in the upper 60s. Showers will continue to increase in coverage and intensity later this afternoon and evening as better forcing begins to reach area with surge in moisture as warm front moves onshore. Upr trf will take on slight neg tilt as it continues to approach ENC tonight. Sfc low will lift north along coastal/warm front and expect numerous shra through the night with bouts of moderate to ocnly heavy rain. PWAT values climbing to around 1.6 inches along the coast overnight. Could see pops taper off after 06z for a few hours, then ramping up again early Saturday morning. Increasing SSE flow east of sfc low will likely result in some weak sfc based instab spreading onshore. MU CAPE values increasing to 400-700 J/kg east of Hwy 17. Given good shear over the region will have to watch for some potential rotating cells, but confidence in this is low given limited instab so will cont with just sc tsra mention. Could be some thunder further inland overnight as well with weak elevated instability. Temps will not drop much with lows mainly lower 50s well inland to around 60 most beaches. Patchy fog likely overnight and could see some patchy dense fog develop.
SHORT TERM /SATURDAY/. As of 230 PM Fri . Sfc low will continue to lift north of the area early Sat with front pushing through in the afternoon. Active weather will continue for the first part of Sat, with widespread rain and isolated storms (along the coast). Some convective banding is possible, however most of the instability should remain just offshore limiting the severe potential, but still couldn't rule out some strong wind gusts or isolated rotating cells. Precip chances will be quickly decreasing late morning and early afternoon as westerly flow develops and drier air moves in behind the front. As the upper level trough moves across the area in the afternoon, some isolated showers are possible across the coastal plain and a bit further east, though coverage looks minimal at this time. Mild temps with highs in the lower 60s.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/. As of 240 AM Fri . Dry and mild conditions are expected Sunday and Monday. Another cold front will cross the area Tuesday, bringing additional chances for rain, as well as cooler temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday.
Sunday and Monday . Upper level trough will move out of the region Sunday morning, with heights quickly rebounding. High pressure will move in from the west, and settle in offshore late Sunday through Monday. Expect high temps on Sunday to reach the upper 50s to low 60s across the area, and be even milder on Monday, reaching the mid to upper 60s.
Tuesday . A stronger cold front will move through the region on Tuesday afternoon ahead of a potent upper level trough. Dry conditions are expected through early morning when showers move into the area from the west. Widespread rain is expected from mid morning through at least late evening, with perhaps a few rumbles of thunder as well. Temperatures will remain mild ahead of the front, reaching the mid to upper 60s for high temps. Then behind the front, temps will quickly drop into the 50s and eventually all the way into the upper 30s to low 40s by Wednesday morning.
Wednesday and Thursday . An expansive longwave trough will remain over the region for this period, leading to below average temperatures. Strong CAA will persist through at least Thursday morning, leading to high temps only reaching the mid to upper 40s Wednesday and then maybe a couple of degrees warmer Thursday.
AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. Short Term /through Saturday/ . As of 230 PM Fri . High confidence in widespread IFR and LIFR conditions through at least 12z Saturday morning. Widespread showers and isolated storms expected through the first part of Saturday. Could see areas of fog (locally dense possible) overnight into Saturday morning. Conditions will be improving late Saturday morning and afternoon, and should return to VFR by late Saturday afternoon. Westerly wind gusts increase to 15-20 kt behind the front Sat afternoon.
Long Term /Saturday night through Wednesday/ . As of 315 AM Fri . VFR conditions through Tuesday morning when another cold front moves into the area and may bring another period of MVFR/IFR conditions through late Tuesday.
MARINE. Short Term /through Saturday/ . As of 230 PM Fri . Latest obs show NE to SE winds 10-20 kt with seas 5-9 ft. Coastal/warm front along the coast will continue to move west with winds becoming SE. As low pressure develops and lifts north along the front inland tonight SSE winds will increase over the coastal waters reaching 15 to 25 kts with outer central wtrs likely 25 to 35 kt. As winds increase tonight seas will build to 6 to 11 feet . highest outer central wtrs. Could see areas of fog develop across the coastal waters overnight into Saturday morning, becoming locally dense at times. Could see some gale force gusts develop across the waters south of Oregon Inlet Saturday morning and early afternoon. Front will move through the waters by Saturday afternoon with winds becoming westerly 20-25 kt gusting to 30 kt. Seas will remain 6-11 ft. Added Albemarle, Croatan/Roanoke Sounds, and Alligator Rvr to SCA beginning early Sat evening with increasing westerly winds.
Long Term /Saturday night Through Wednesday/ . As of 315 AM Fri . Then winds subside briefly Sunday through Monday morning, before increasing out of the S at 15-25 kts early Monday night. Winds 20-25 kts continue Tuesday as another cold front moves through the coastal waters.
Seas subsiding to 5-8 ft on Sunday. Seas then briefly become 3-5 ft Sunday night and Monday, before increasing to 6-9 ft Monday night through Tuesday.
