AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
245 PM EDT TUE JUN 7 2005

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...
CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES FROM PRIOR
CONVECTION AND ROUGHLY IN THE ZONE OF A SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST
SYNOPTIC SURFACE BOUNDARY. AS OF THIS TIME CELLS ARE GENERALLY
DEVELOPING AND DYING AFTER CREATING MORE CONVECTION ON THE
THUNDERSTORM GUST FRONTS. ANY PERSISTENT CELL COULD BECOME A FLOOD
THREAT.

PERSISTENCE WILL LARGELY BE THE FORECAST TREND BUT WITH A MINOR
COOLING TREND IN AFTERNOON HIGHS. GFS 850 MILLBAR WINDS MORE SOUTH
THAN THE ETA/NAM AND THIS PULLS MORE MOISTURE INTO THE AIR COLUMN
AND HELPS TO BUMP THE GFS FORECAST POPS INTO THE LIKELY RANGE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO ACT AS A TRIGGER OTHER
THAN AFTERNOON HEATING AND WILL KEEP POPS IN THE CHANCE RANGE. LOSS
OF THE SYNOPTIC SURFACE BOUNDARY FOR WEDNESDAY ALSO A FACTOR.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL SEE AFTERNOON CONVECTION WITH WEAK SOUTH
FLOW AROUND THE OFFSHORE SURFACE HIGH.

ALTHOUGH WINDS ARE WEAK... ENOUGH TIME WILL PASS TO ADVECT IN COOLER
AIR FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND INITIATE A WEAK COOLING TREND IN HIGHS.
HAZE AND INCREASED AFTERNOON CLOUD COVER WILL ALSO AID THE COOLING
TREND. LOWS SHOULD NOT STRAY FAR FROM 70 DEGREES.
&&

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
A PERSISTENCE FORECAST WILL BE USED THIS PERIOD AS THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL BE THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE OVER THE REGION.
THE RIDGE BUILDS SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST ON SATURDAY...WHICH WILL GIVE
DIURNAL POPS SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN THE WEST THAN THE EAST AROUND THE
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY WILL BE 85 TO 90
WITH LOWS 65 TO 70.

.AVIATION...
NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES EXIST ACROSS THE AREA FROM YESTERDAYS
CONVECTION AND FROM DIFFERENTIAL HEATING THIS MORNING. THESE WILL BE
THE FOCUS OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. COVERAGE SHOULD
BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT VCTS AT ALL SITES. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE
PAST SEVERAL DAYS...FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE EAST
BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z...WITH IFR VIS AND LIFR CIGS AT RDU/FAY/RWI.
THIS SHOULD BE SLOW TO LIFT IN THE MORNING...BETWEEN 14Z AND 16Z.
GSO AND INT SHOULD AGAIN HAVE MVFR FOG FOR A FEW HOURS.

&&

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
