Tropical Weather Outlook

200 PM EDT Wed Jul 8 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A broad area of low pressure located near the coast of northeastern
South Carolina continues to produce a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms over the adjacent Atlantic waters and
portions of eastern North Carolina.  The low is expected to move
northeastward near or just offshore of the North Carolina Outer
Banks on Thursday, and then turn north-northeastward and move along
the mid-Atlantic coast Friday.  Environmental conditions are
expected to be conducive for development, and a tropical or
subtropical cyclone is likely to form within the next day or so.
Regardless of development, the system is expected to produce locally
heavy rainfall that could cause some flash flooding across portions
of eastern North Carolina, the coastal mid-Atlantic, and southern
New England during the next few days. Gusty winds are also possible
along the North Carolina Outer Banks through Thursday and along the
mid-Atlantic and southern New England coasts Friday and Saturday. 
Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this system
and refer to products from your local National Weather Service
office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build over the area tonight and crest over the
region Thursday into Friday. Low pressure will approach from the
south Friday night and cross the area Saturday. A cold front will
cross the region Sunday followed by high pressure Monday.....

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A warm upper ridge and weak surface high pressure will be over the
area Thursday night. This will bring a mostly clear night with some
patchy valley fog possible late at night. Strong upper ridging will
bring another mostly sunny, very warm and humid day Friday as
surface high pressure begins to slide east of the region. Our focus
then turns to a small subtropical low tracking up the Mid-Atlantic
coast ahead of a trough and weak cold front approaching from the
west. This low is expected to track north into  southern New England
Friday night and then north onto the western Maine coast early
Saturday morning. The latest guidance shows this low weakening and
becoming absorbed in a larger frontal low tracking from the eastern
Great Lakes toward western New England. Rain will likely spread
north into our Downeast area late Friday night then continue north
across the rest of the area Saturday morning. With the subtropical
low weakening and becoming absorbed by the western frontal system,
guidance is not indicating any large scale organized heavy rainfall,
but rather a light to moderate rain that could amount to around a
quarter to a half inch across the area, with locally high amounts in
any convection.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Showers will continue into Saturday evening as the subtropical wave
weakens and lifts north of the area, and a frontal low tracks into
southern Quebec. The frontal low will track northeast, north of the
St. Lawrence valley Sunday morning pulling drier air into the region
from the southwest. Any lingering showers should taper off early
Sunday morning giving way to a mostly sunny and warm day on Sunday.
Weak surface high pressure should last into Monday with a mostly
sunny and very warm day Monday. A new trough of low pressure and
surface low will approach Monday night bringing increasing clouds.
Clouds and a good chance for showers and thunderstorms will be
around Tuesday as the low and accompanying cold front press into the
area. Showers may linger into Wednesday as the trough slowly slides
across and east of our region.
