AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
231 AM EST SAT MAR 2 1996

RAH: BASIC FCST LOOKS OK FOR TODAY AND TON...ALTHOUGH TEMPS MAY BE A 
CAT TO HI. LIKE LOWER 50S BETTER TODAY AND MID 30S TONIGHT. THINK WE 
CAN FIND A BETTER WORDING THAN V/C FOR THIS AFTN. HOW ABOUT DECREASING 
CLOUDS?

CAE: TEMPS MAY BE A CAT TOO WARM TODAY FOR THE N MIDLANDS...LIKE MID 
50S BETTER. SAME FOR THE N COAST AS PREFER LOWER 50S. REST OF FCST FOR 
TODAY AND TON OK.

AREA RADARS ARE INDICATING WHAT LOOKS TO BE THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN 
SLOWLY WORKING NE THROUGH THE AREA ATTM. CURRENT FCSTS OF MORNING RAIN 
ALONG COASTAL AREAS LOOKS OK WITH NO RAIN FOR AREAS WEST OF A LUMBERTON 
TO MARION LINE. SFC LOW LOOKS TO BE OVER THE WATERS BETWEEN 
FPSN7...41002 AND 41004 MOVING TO THE NE. AS THIS LOW CONTS TO PULL 
AWAY THE GRIDDED DATA IS INDICATING A DECREASE IN MID AND UPPER LEVEL 
MOISTURE TO OCCUR THIS AFTN. LOW LEVEL RH IS NOT PROGGED TO DROP BELOW 
70% UNTIL MID AFTN SO COULD SEE THE LOW LEVEL CLOUDS STICK AROUND A 
WHILE BEFORE DISSIPATING BEFORE SUNSET. LOOKS AS DECREASING AFTN CLOUDS 
IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO DECSRIBE WHAT WILL OCCUR. BASICALLY A 
NEUTRAL TEMP ADV FOR TODAY SO READINGS SHOULD BE WARMER THAN YESTERDAY 
WITHOUT THE PRECIP IN THE AFTN AND WITH SOME SUNSHINE. CAA WILL SET IN 
TONIGHT PUSHING TEMPS DOWN INTO THE MID 30S ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.
COORD WITH MHX ON COASTAL WATERS AND FEEL WILL HAVE TOUGH TIME OBTAINING 
SCA CONDITIONS ON SOUTHERN WATERS. GRADIENT IS PROGGED TO LOOSEN 
SLIGHTLY TODAY WITH THE WINDS SWITCHING AROUND TO AN OFFSHORE 
TRAJECTORY. AS MENTIONED ABOVE NUETRAL TEMP ADV TODAY AND WITH BEST 
PRESSURE FALLS ALREADY PAST THE AREA DON/T THINK WINDS WILL INCREASE 
ANY. NOT AT SCA YET SO DOUBTFUL IF IT WILL HAPPEN.
