NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
305 AM EDT THU AUG 14 2025
DISCUSSION
TODAY WILL OBSERVE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS A DISTURBANCE ALOFT INTERACTS WITH A WELL JUICED
(HIGH CAPE) ATMOSPHERE. VARIOUS SURFACE BOUNDARIES WILL PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL LIFT WHICH MAY RESULT IN TRAINING OF STORMS. THIS
SCENARIO WILL PLAY OUT AGAIN ON FRI/SAT, TO A LESSER DEGREE IN
TERMS OF RAINFALL AMOUNTS AS DRIER AIR SLOWLY INFILTRATES THE
REGION LATER THIS WEEKEND AFTER A CFP SAT. DRY CONDITIONS SLATED
FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HURRICANE ERIN LIKELY PASSES BY, WELL
OFFSHORE.
WIND PROFILE ANALYSIS/FIRE CONTROL OVER FLAT TERRAIN IS FAVORABLE.
FOG POTENTIAL FOR TONIGHT IS MODERATE.
