AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
638 AM EST TUE NOV 6 2007

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA...MOVING OFFSHORE BY
MIDDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY
NIGHT...BRINGING UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR TO THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AT 130 AM COLD FRONT EXTENDED SW TO TO NE ALONG A LINE EXTENDING
FROM BIRMINGHAM/AL...TO CHATTANOOGA/TN...TO BLUEFIELD/WV...TO
SYRACUSE/NY. SPEED CONVERGENCE ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF A 45 TO
50KT LLJ HAS RESULTED IN AN AREA OF PRE-FRONTAL LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS
ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND WESTERN PIEDMONT. IN ADDITION...THE
COMBINATION OF THE EASTWARD TRANSLATING LLJ AND INCREASING MID LEVEL
CLOUD DECK HAS RESULTED AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO RESULT IN
TEMPERATURES HOLDING STEADY OR SLOWLY RISING THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE PREDAWN HOURS. EXPECT A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN REGION THIS MORNING...WHERE BEST
LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS DEPICTED BY SHORT RANGE MODELS. THE COLD
FRONT WILL SWIFTLY SWEEP EAST AND THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY
MIDDAY. STRONG COLD AND DRY AIR ADVECTION IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDING
FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL RESULT IN SHARP CLEARING WITH BREEZY NW WINDS
OF 13 TO 17KTS.  HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S NW TO MID 60S
WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING SHARPLY AT SUNSET AS CAA CONTINUES WITH
LOW-LEVEL THICKNESSES BETWEEN 1295 TO 1300M AT 12Z WED. PRESSURE
GRADIENT LOOKS TO REMAIN UP OVERNIGHT...WITH SURFACE WINDS STIRRING
AT 4 TO 5KTS OVERNIGHT. A STEADY NW WIND COMBINED WITH LARGE T/TD
SPREADS SHOULD PREVENT A WIDESPREAD FREEZE AND FROST AS    MIN
TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30S. HOWEVER PATCHY FROST IS
STILL POSSIBLE IN OUT LYING OR LOW LYING AREAS. WILL ISSUE A FROST
ADVISORY FOR THE COUNTIES THAT REMAIN IN THE FREEZE/FROST PROGRAM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE AS CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH
BUILDS OVER THE AREA. CONDITIONS APPEAR HIGHLY FAVORABLE FOR
STRONG RADIATIONAL CLEARING AND A WIDESPREAD FREEZE FOR
WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING WITH HIGH CENTERED OVER THE AREA.
AM RELUCTANT TO GO OUT WITH A 4TH PERIOD FREEZE WATCH...BUT WILL USE
STRONG WORDING IN THE HWO TO HIGHLIGHT THE HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF A
FORTHCOMING FREEZE WATCH FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. USED A BLEND OF THE
MAV AND MET MOS FOR DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE LOWER 50S NW TO UPPER 50S
SE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
EASTERN CONUS TROUGH BECOMES RE-ENERGIZED LATE IN THE WORK WEEK
WITH AMPLIFICATION OF S/W TROUGH ENERGY OVER THE TN VALLEY. MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS ARE TRENDING DEEPER AND WETTER WITH THIS S/W
PASSAGE...BECOMING NEGATIVELY TILTED AS IT MOVES OFF THE
MID-ATLANTIC COAST. HAVE BEEFED UP CLOUDINESS ON FRIDAY BUT THIS
SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SOME LIFT/PRECIP ACROSS THE
REGION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS...AS LF EXIT REGION OF
+100KT UPPER JET MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO PERSIST THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE EXTENDED
FORECAST WITH HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES.
HIGHS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN THE UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60 WITH LOWS IN
THE 30S. A MODERATION IN TEMPS IS LIKELY TO BE SEEN SUNDAY AND
MONDAY AS UPPER LEVEL FLOW TURNS ZONAL AND EVENTUALLY SOUTHWESTERLY.
THIS IS DUE IN PART TO A STRENGTHENING OF THE PACIFIC JET STREAM
WHICH WILL SEND STRONG SHORTWAVE ENERGY INTO THE CENTRAL UNITED
STATES BY MONDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS BY MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A BROKEN DECK OF MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL IMMEDIATELY PRECEDE AND
ACCOMPANY THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS MORNING. A FEW LOCATIONS MAY
SEE BKN LOW CLOUD COVER WITH 3-4 KFT BASES...PRIMARILY IN ASSOC/W
ISOLD SPRINKLES OR VERY LIGHT SHOWERS ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE
FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED MOISTURE WILL QUICKLY SWEEP THROUGH CENTRAL
NC THIS MORNING WITH A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT.
THE FRONT SHOULD BE CLEAR OF INT/GSO BY 14Z AND RDU/FAY/RWI BY
16-18Z. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN SUSTAINED WINDS OF 12-15 KNOTS WITH WIND GUSTS AROUND
20-23 KNOTS.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO CENTRAL NC FROM THE NW TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY AND MAINTAINS INFLUENCE OVER THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY.
THIS WILL RESULT IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MID/LATE WEEK. -VINCENT

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
RH FALLING INTO THE 25 TO 30 PERCENT RANGE BEHIND COLD FRONT. WINDS
APPEAR TO FALL BELOW ALERT CRITERIA...WITH BREEZY NW WINDS OF 13 TO
