AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1122 AM EDT MON APR 16 2007

...WIND ADVISORY WILL BE UPGRADED TO HIGH WIND WARNING THROUGH
900 PM THIS EVENING...

.SYNOPSIS...

STRONG WIND EVENT WELL UNDERWAY ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THIS
MORNING. THE VERY TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER NC... ASSOCIATED
WITH ANOMOUSLY INTENSE APRIL NOREASTER (968 MB AT 14Z/16 APRIL
OFF LONG ISLAND)... WILL CONTINUE TO COMBINE WITH THE H5 HEIGHT
RISE/FALL COUPLET (310 METER HEIGHT FALLS CENTERED OVER UPTON NY
COMBINED WITH 190 METER HEIGHT RISES OVER ATLANTA GA AT 12Z/16)...
AND STRONG WIND MAXIMUM (NW AT 50-65 KNOTS FROM H85 TO H7 FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY SE OVER NC)... TO PRODUCE SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35
MPH... WITH GUSTS TO BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MPH ACROSS CENTRAL NC.
&&

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...

THE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE UPGRADED TO A HIGH WIND WARNING THIS
PACKAGE. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 MPH... WITH
GUSTS TO NEAR 50 MPH. RALEIGH-DURHAM REPORTED WIND GUSTS TO 49 MPH
AND GREENSBORO 45 MPH AS OF 1000 AM. TREES HAVE ALREADY FALLEN DUE
TO THESE WINDS AND HAD ALREADY BLOCKED SOME LANES ON I-85 NEAR
HENDERSON... AND HIGHWAY 50 AT I-540 IN RALEIGH.

IN ADDITION TO THE AFOREMENTIONED DATA... THE GSO AND RNK 12Z/16
SOUNDINGS INDICATE MIXING TO 8000 FEET... WITH WINDS IN EXCESS OF
65 KNOTS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER. THESE STRONGER WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO MIX DOWN TO NEAR THE SURFACE THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...
EVEN STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING
DOWN ADDITIONAL TREES AND LARGE TREE LIMBS WHICH WILL CREATE A
HAZARD TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. THOSE OUTSIDE THROUGH THE DURATION
OF THE WIND EVENT SHOULD AVOID TREES. MOTORISTS SHOULD BE VERY
CAUTIONS ALONG TREE LINED STREETS AND ROADS. ADDITIONAL POWER
OUTAGES CAN BE EXPECTED.

THE HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA IS EITHER SUSTAINED WINDS OF 40 MPH
OR GUSTS TO 58 MPH OR GREATER. THE 12Z DATA ANALYSIS INDICATES A
LIKELIHOOD THAT WE WILL REACH NEAR OR EXCEED THE WIND GUST CRITERIA
OF 58 MPH DURING THE REST OF THIS WIND EVENT.

THE SOILS ARE WET ACROSS A MAJORITY OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DUE
TO THE RECENT HEAVY RAINS... AND MANY OF THE DECIDUOUS TREES HAVE
LEAFED OUT BETWEEN 25 AND 75 PERCENT FULL. THESE FACTORS WILL PLAY
AN ADDITIONAL ROLE ON BRINGING DOWN TREES AND LARGE TREE LIMBS.

HIGH WIND WARNING FOR ALL ZONES THROUGH 900 PM TONIGHT.

NO OTHER MAJOR CHANGES AT THIS TIME. -BADGETT/GIH/MWS

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 317 AM EDT MON APR 16 2007/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
ALTHOUGH PRECIP HAS COME TO AN END ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA...THE
EFFECTS OF THE INTENSIFYING NOREASTER WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE
REGION...PRIMARILY WITH WIND CONCERNS. AS OF 3AM...THE CENTER OF
THE DEEPENING SFC LOW...CURRENTLY AT 973 MB...WAS LOCATED JUST OFF
THE NJ COAST. THIS PUTS OUR AREA IN A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT
ALONG WITH WINDS OF 40-50 KTS AS LOW AS 3 KFT. A SFC TROUGH
CURRENTLY DELINEATES THE STRONGER GUSTS (OVER 40 MPH AT TIMES IN
THE TRIAD) TO LESSER WINDS SOUTH AND EAST OF A ROXBORO...BURLINGTON...
TO LEXINGTON LINE. EXPECT THIS TROUGH AXIS TO PUSH EAST EARLY
THIS MORNING...HELPING TO INCREASE WINDS ACROSS THE REST OF THE
AREA.

WINDS WILL INCREASE IN EARNEST AFTER SUNRISE OVER THE ENTIRE CWA
WITH THE ONSET OF DEEP MIXING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE MIXING
OCCURRING ABOVE 800 MB...WHERE WINDS WILL BE GREATER THAN 50 KTS.
IN ADDITION...WINDS OF 30 KTS CAN BE FOUND JUST 500 FT OFF THE
SURFACE AND 40 KTS A FEW THOUSAND FT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT AS WELL SINCE THE SFC LOW IS
PROGGED TO REMAIN STATIONARY NEAR LONG ISLAND TODAY AS IT BEGINS
TO OCCLUDE. ALL OF THIS RESULTS IN A VERY WINDY DAY ACROSS CENTRAL
NC. SUSTAINED WINDS WILL LIKELY INCREASE TO BETWEEN 25-35 MPH WITH
GUSTS APPROACHING 50 MPH AT TIMES. THE WIND ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH 9 PM THIS EVENING. WITH THE SATURATED SOILS FROM YESTERDAYS
RAINS...THERE IS CONCERN THAT SOME SHALLOW ROOTED TREES FULL OF
SPRING LEAVES MAY SUCCUMB TO THE STRONG WINDS TODAY. TEMPS WILL BE
ON THE COOL SIDE WITH THICKNESSES WELL BELOW NORMAL. HOWEVER...
DOWNSLOPE FLOW SHOULD HELP HIGHS CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER
60S...WITH THE COOLEST READINGS IN THE NE AREAS WHICH MAY SEE SOME
CLOUDS DUE TO WRAP AROUND MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NOREASTER.

WINDS WILL BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE THIS EVENING...BUT SHOULD DO SO BY
LATE EVENING AS DEEP LAYER MIXING DIMINISHES. STILL EXPECT BREEZY
CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S.

THE OCCLUDED STORM SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHEAST WILL BEGIN TO MOVE
AWAY FROM THE COAST ON TUESDAY AS A CLOSED LOW OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST OPENS UP AND EJECTS EASTWARD. THIS WILL HELP RELAX THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND THE WINDS IN THE MIXED LAYER. GUSTS OF 20 TO
25 MPH WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES CLIMB TO
WITHIN 20M OF NORMAL...THEREFORE HIGHS SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE MID
60S TO LOWER 70S IN THE SOUTH.

AFOREMENTIONED UPPER ENERGY EJECTING OUT OF THE SW STATES WILL BEGIN
TO SHEAR OUT ON WEDNESDAY OVER THE SOUTHEAST AS A SHORTWAVE IN THE
NORTHERN BRANCH DIVES SOUTH OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES. WHILE THERE
WILL BE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE TO INCREASE CLOUD COVER WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THERE IS NOT MUCH FORCING EVIDENT TO PRODUCE
PRECIP. IN FACT...ISENTROPIC CHARTS ACTUALLY SHOW SOME DOWNGLIDE.
WILL MAINTAIN THE CURRENT 20 POPS FOR NOW. INCREASED CLOUD COVER
WILL TEMPER HIGHS WED A FEW DEGREES COMPARED TO TUE.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
L/W TROUGH ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD WILL KEEP TEMPS ACROSS
CENTRAL NC BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK WITH
MODERATION IN TEMPS EXPECTED BY THE WEEKEND AS THE TROUGH LIFTS NWD
AND RIDGING OCCURS TO OUR W-SW.

THE EXTENDED PERIOD APPEARS TO BE DRY. BOTH THE ECMWF AND THE LATEST
GFS DEPICT A WETTER AIRMASS OVER THE REGION THU/THU NIGHT THAN 24
HOURS AGO. HOWEVER...STILL CANNOT FIND ANY MECHANISM THAT WOULD
RESULT IN PRECIP AS ISENTROPIC FIELDS DEPICT DOWNGLIDE MOTION AND
MEAN FLOW STILL W-NW (USUALLY NOT CONDUCIVE TO PRECIP GENERATION).
DUE TO PRESENCE OF UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM ON THU AND ASSOCIATED COOL
POOL ALOFT...WILL CONTINUE WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND JUST A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER FOR MOST LOCALES THU.

AVIATION /06Z-06Z/...
ABNORMALLY DEEP CYCLONE IN VICINITY OF NYC EARLY THIS MORNING
WILL RESULT IN WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL NC TODAY INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. EXPECT SUSTAINED WINDS 20-30 MPH WITH GUSTS
APPROACHING 50 MPH. CLOUD BASES WILL REMAIN ABOVE MVFR LEVELS
TODAY WITH BASES VARYING BETWEEN 4500-6000 FT. EXPECT CLOUDS TO
DISSIPATE BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING MOST PLACES.
EXCEPTION WILL BE THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN INCLUDING KRWI WHERE
THE STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW MAY RESULT IN WRAP AROUND CLOUDINESS BUT
REMAIN ABOVE MVFR LEVELS.

FIRE WEATHER...
FUELS ACROSS CENTRAL NC SHOULD BE DAMP TODAY CONSIDERING THE
WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAIN EXPERIENCED DURING THE PAST 36 HOURS.
NEVERTHELESS...WINDS WILL BE A CONCERN TODAY WITH SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 25-35 MPH AND GUSTS APPROACHING 50 MPH. RH VALUES WILL ALSO
DROP BELOW 30 PERCENT. MIXING LEVELS WILL REACH ABOVE 6000 FEET
WITH WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER.
FORTUNATELY THE DAMP FUELS SHOULD LIMIT THE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS...BUT EVERYBODY SHOULD REMAIN COGNIZANT OF THE WINDS
TODAY. WINDS WILL NOTABLY DECREASE BY TUESDAY BUT RH VALUES WILL
AGAIN DROP TO BELOW 30 PERCENT.
