.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Cooler and drier conditions in wake of a cold front
today as northeast flow ensues. The front will then lift back
north as a warm front later tonight as high pres shifts offshore,
aided by seabreeze development late today. This will bring our
next round of showers and thunderstorms with the best chances
being narrowed down to a Kinston to New Bern to Ocracoke line
and points south. Have decreased pops north of this area, while
maintaining the 40-60% pops to the south.

A localized severe threat may develop around the Crystal Coast
and Onslow, as seabreeze development coinciding with the arrival
of the front during peak heating aid in a zone of moderately
high instability/CAPE pooling just ahead of the backdoor front.
The main threat would appear to be strong localized wind damage
if any updrafts can become established.

KEY MESSAGE 2...A reinforcing cold front will move through by Saturday
Night and usher in even drier and cooler air to finish out the weekend.
Temps drop to 5-8 degrees below climo with this fropa. Lows will drop
to the mid-50s (inland) to low-60s (beaches) Saturday night and Sunday
night with highs in the 70s on Sunday.

KEY MESSAGE 3...High pressure will shift offshore on Monday with
the next front forecast to cross the area late Monday/early
Tuesday. Another round of showers and thunderstorms will be possible
Monday into Monday evening. A broader area of showers encompassing most
of the FA with pops peaking at 50-70% later Monday afternoon into the
evening. Conditions dry out later Monday night with high pres returning
for Tue into midweek.
