801 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Bermuda high pressure along with an inland trough will
dominate with mainly localized showers and thunderstorms each
afternoon. Should see increasing heat risk late in the week.

&&

.UPDATE...
Tweaked POPS for the remainder of this evening, with convection
dissipating. However, expect the nocturnal Atlantic machine to
rev up and as a result looking for periodic onshore movement of
mainly low topped scattered tropical showers during the predawn
hrs and continuing thru mid to late daytime Wed morning. PWs
remain 2.00 to 2.25 inches, ie tropical in nature. The coastal
counties will feel the brunt of this. Look for the addition of
thunder as the days insolation increases and resulting
instability. Lows generally in the mid 70s with upper 70s to
around 80 along the immediate coast given onshore flow having
gone across Atlantic SSTs in the 80s. Winds over the waters to
run SSE-SSW 10 to occasionally 15 kt. Wind directions the
result of the sfc ridge axis extending from the Bermuda high to
extend WSW to the SE States Coast, just south of the local
waters. Seas generally 3 to 4 ft overnight, generally comprised
of SE fresh/pseudo swell at 6+ second periods.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Fairly weak weather features impacting the area during the near term
period.  Scattered showers and storms will develop on features like
the sea breeze, a weak surface trough inland, and storm outflows
through Wednesday. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s with
lows in the low to mid 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Typical summer time conditions expected as mid level ridging
builds in through the period. The subtle mid level zonal flow to
the north of the ridge allows a very warm westerly flow through
the lower levels to develop thus the heat switch will be on. We
see this synoptic pattern frequently across our area. With
convection limited hence the building ridge...highs will build
into the middle 90s and with juicy dewpoints the chances for a
heat advisory increase in time. Lows will be in the middle 70s
perhaps upper 70s along the coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Heat related headlines will once again be possible Saturday and
perhaps again Sunday as the mid level configuration of the
strong ridge and westerly warming flow to the north remains more
or less intact. It appears the pattern begins a subtle change
later in the period and into early next week via a more
Northwest flow as the main ridge pushes to the west. This shift
allows a more conducive environment for convection and thermal
profiles to decrease slightly.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Mainly VFR for the remainder of this evening with dissipating
showers in the vicinity of the inland terminals thru 02Z.
Scouring convective debris mid to high clouds to dominate the
remainder of the overnight. Except included a MVFR stratus
ceiling around daybreak for LBT only and may need to be included
at FLO at later updates given the trends of GFSLamp guidance.
High res models not as robust with onshore movement of pcpn
prior to daybreak and into the daytime morning Wed hrs. Will
include prob30s for the coastal terminals during this time line.
Otherwise, more or less a repeat of Tue. Days heating will
result with increasing instability and the better threat for
tstorm activity, mainly across the inland terminals and ILM. By
early to mid afternoon, main tstorm threat will reside across
the inland terminals but will include VCTS for the coastal
terminals given how pcpn evolved Tue. SSE-SSW flow 5 to 10 kt
will diminish to 5 kt or less during this evening. S-SSW at 5 to
10 kt except gusts 15+ kt possible at the coastal
terminals,mainly the afternoon into the evening.

Extended Outlook...Intermittent flight restrictions are
possible each day due to daytime/evening showers/storms and
possibly early morning fog/stratus.

&&

.MARINE...
Through Wednesday...expect S to SE winds of 10 KT into tonight
before winds become more southerly at 10 to 15 KT for Wednesday.
Seas will run 2 to 3 FT.


Wednesday Night through Sunday...
Summer time pattern will be in place through the period
for the coastal waters forecast. Winds will be from the
south/southwest in a range of 15-20 knots at least Thursday and
Friday when the inland trough is enhanced. This feature dissipates
slightly for the remainder of the period with speeds walking down to
10-15 knots. Significant seas will be 2-4 feet with the higher seas
generally early on with the stronger winds.

&&

.ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NC...None.
SC...None.
MARINE...None.
