...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM THIS MORNING TO 9 PM EST
THIS EVENING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN RALEIGH HAS ISSUED A RED FLAG
WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM THIS MORNING TO 9 PM EST
THIS EVENING. THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. 

ANOTHER DRY COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA FROM
THE NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE FRONT... A GUSTY
WESTERLY WIND WILL INCREASE TO BETWEEN 10 AND 20 MPH TODAY. THE
WIND WILL LIKELY GUST TO BETWEEN 25 AND 30 MPH... ESPECIALLY BY
MID AFTERNOON.  THE MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL AGAIN
FALL TO CRITICAL LEVELS THIS AFTERNOON. THE MINIMUM AFTERNOON
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OF 13 TO 18 PERCENT CAN BE EXPECTED OVER
THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT... AND 18 TO 22 PERCENT ELSEWHERE.

IN ADDITION... THE WINDY AND DRY WEATHER OF THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS
ALLOWED FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS TO BECOME VERY DRY ACROSS CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA. THE COMBINATION OF THE VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...
GUSTY WEST WINDS... AND LOW FUEL MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO AN
INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO INCREASE TO NEAR
60 THIS AFTERNOON.

THERE SHOULD BE NO BURNING IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA TODAY DUE TO
THE POTENTIAL OF ADVERSE FIRE BEHAVIOR AND POSSIBLE BLOW UP FIRES. 

A RED FLAG WARNING MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ARE EITHER OCCURRING AND ARE EXPECTED. A COMBINATION OF STRONG
WINDS...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...AND WARM TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE
EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
243 AM EST MON MAR 5 2007

.SYNOPSIS AND MAIN CONCERNS FOR THE SHORT TERM...

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL BE UPGRADED TO RED FLAG WARNING FOR
TODAY...

AN AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WITH H5 TROUGHING OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN STATES... AND RIDGING CENTERED OVER THE ROCKIES WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MIDWEEK. THE RESULTANT DRY NW FLOW ALOFT OVER NC IS
PROBLEMATIC FOR NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE SPRING FIRE WEATHER
SEASON. SEVERAL STRONG VORTICITY MAXIMA WILL SWING SE OVER THE
GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC EARLY THIS WEEK... AMPLIFYING
THE UPPER TROUGH. WHILE THE BITTERLY COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN OVER NEW ENGLAND... THE NW-SE UPPER JET STREAM WINDS WILL
EXTEND OVER FROM THE GREAT LAKES SE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES.
THIS WILL RESULT IN LARGE TEMPERATURE CONTRAST FROM NEW ENGLAND SW
THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEASTERN U.S. WHICH WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A VERY DRY WNW WIND FOR CENTRAL NC.

THIS IS A CLASSIC PATTERN THAT CAN LEAD TO ADVERSE FIRE BEHAVIOR
IN NC... ESPECIALLY ON DAYS IN WHICH CENTRAL NC WILL EXPERIENCES
DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGES. TODAY AND WEDNESDAY APPEAR TO BE SUCH
DAYS. CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY AS
MODELS SUGGEST A CLIPPER SURFACE WAVE TO TRACK JUST NORTH OF NC.
THIS WOULD FURTHER ENHANCE THE WESTERLY FLOW... WHICH SHOULD LEAD
TO A VERY WARM DRY WIND. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PARAMETERS
INCLUDING GUSTY WIND... VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY... AND
EXTREMELY DRY FINE FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS POINT TO ANOTHER POTENTIAL
RED FLAG WARNING THEN.
&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

THE SKIES WERE CLEAR AND IT WAS COLD ACROSS CENTRAL NC EARLY
MONDAY MORNING AS THE REGION WAS DIRECTLY UNDER THE BASE OF THE
UPPER TROUGH. THE SURFACE WINDS BECAME LIGHT EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS
WITH WEAK LEE TROUGH DEVELOPMENT EARLY MONDAY. WINDS WERE STILL
GUSTING TO BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH OVER THE MOUNTAINS AT BOONE AND
WEST JEFFERSON FROM THE WNW. TEMPERATURES WILL START THE DAY IN
THE MID TO UPPER 20S AT MOST LOCATIONS.

WARMING WILL BEGIN QUICKLY TODAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH LIFTS OUT AND
THE SW-W FLOW INCREASES. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY OVER NEW
ENGLAND AS A SHORT WAVE SWINGS SE FROM THE GREAT LAKES THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALLOW A DRY COLD FRONT TO PUSH SE THROUGH
CENTRAL NC LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. H8 WINDS WERE OBSERVED IN THE
40-50 KNOT RANGE UPSTREAM SUNDAY EVENING WILL PUSH ACROSS OUR
REGION LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.

WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE DRY FRONT TODAY. WINDS
OF 10 TO 20 MPH... WITH GUSTS TO 25 TO 30 MPH SHOULD BE COMMON.
LOW LEVEL THICKNESS FORECASTS SUPPORT THE WARMER MAV GUIDANCE
TODAY. EXPECT HIGHS 57-62. MINIMUM RH VALUES SHOULD FALL INTO THE
13-17 PERCENT RANGE NW... TO AROUND 22 PERCENT SE.

WINDS WILL BECOME NW THEN N OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS THE FRONT SLIPS
SOUTH OF THE REGION. THE STRONGEST CAA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO
OUR NE... BUT THERE SHOULD BE FAIRLY GOOD MIXING THROUGH THE
EVENING DUE TO THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. WINDS SHOULD DROP OFF TO
LIGHT LATE TONIGHT ALLOWING TEMPS TO FALL TO BETWEEN 30 AND 35.
PREFER SLIGHTLY WARMER MAV MOS DUE TO THE EXPECTED WELL MIXED
BOUNDARY LAYER THROUGH THE EVENING.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT SHOULD BRING LESS FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
AS A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SE FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO
OFFSHORE OF NC WEDNESDAY MORNING. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE MUCH
LIGHTER AND MORE NORTHERLY (5-10 MPH) TUESDAY... BECOMING LIGHT
AND VARIABLE TUESDAY NIGHT... ALLOWING DECENT RH RECOVERY. IT WILL
BE MUCH COOLER TUESDAY BUT THE MET MOS APPEARS WAY TOO COOL AS THE
CORE OF THE COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO ONLY BRUSH OUR NE ZONES.
EXPECT HIGHS CLOSER TO THE MAV GUIDANCE IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S
EXCEPT SOME UPPER 40S NE... AND UPPER 50S SW.

RAPIDLY CHANGING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AS A CLIPPER
WAVE IS EXPECTED TO DIVE SE THROUGH WVA AND CENTRAL VA... BEFORE
MOVING OFFSHORE OF VA CAPES WED EVENING. WITH THIS TRACK... A WARM
FRONT WILL PUSH INTO VA EARLY WED... PUTTING CENTRAL NC IN THE
WARM SECTOR. STRONG BUT VERY DRY WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL SURGE
ACROSS NC FROM THE WEST DURING THE DAY. IT APPEARS THE SURFACE
TEMPS WILL SOAR WELL INTO THE 60S... AND POSSIBLY EVEN SOME LOWER
70S OVER THE SANHILLS. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE... WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH. ALL WEATHER PARAMETERS ARE
POINTING TOWARD ANOTHER RED FLAG EPISODE WEDNESDAY.

THE DRY COLD FRONT SHOULD SLIP SOUTH OF CENTRAL NC WEDNESDAY
NIGHT... WITH WEST WINDS DIMINISHING AND BECOMING NNE AGAIN AFTER
MIDNIGHT. ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH BUILDS SOUTH INTO THE AREA FROM THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES THURSDAY DIMINISHING THE FIRE WEATHER THREAT
AGAIN WITH A LIGHT NNE FLOW AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER RHS EXPECTED. -BADGETT
&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

UPPER RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH BUILDING INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST
AND NORTHWEST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK RESULTING IN DRY
CONDITIONS. SOUTHERN STREAM S/W APPROACHES AS SURFACE HIGH GRADUALLY
SHIFTS OFFSHORE FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. ALSO COLD FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST. STILL SOME TIMING ISSUES  ON THIS. GFS IS MORE
PROGRESSIVE IN SHIFTING HIGH OFFSHORE AND RETURN FLOW SETTING UP
OVER THE REGION. ALSO GFS DEVELOPS COASTAL TROUGH DURING SATURDAY.
CANADIAN ALSO PUSHES COLD FRONT THROUGH AREA ON SATURDAY. HOWEVER
THE LATEST ECMWF SLOWER AND KEEPS SURFACE HIGH NOSED INTO SOUTHEAST
MID ATLC THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AT THE POINT WILL CONTINUE CURRENT
TRENDS AND KEEP RAIN CHANCES MINIMAL FOR SATURDAY.

TEMPERATURES STILL A BIT ON THE COOL SIDE THURSDAY AT THE START OF
THE PERIOD...AVERAGING ABOUT 5 OR SO DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMS.
FAIRLY COOL THICKNESS ACROSS NORTHERN TIER ALONG WITH 850 TEMPERATURES
-5/-8. HIGHS GENERALLY 53-58. THEN WARMING TREND COMMENCES FRIDAY
INTO THE WEEKEND. HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 60S. SOME ADJUSTMENTS MAY
BE NEEDED DURING THE WEEKEND AS CLOUDS INCREASE AND THE POTENTIAL
FOR PRECIP.--RA

&&

.AVIATION /07Z-06Z/...

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WEST TO NORTHWEST
WINDS AT 7-10 MPH WILL PERSIST THROUGH DAYBREAK. THEN WINDS WILL
INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA AS WEAK FRONT/SURFACE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA... AND UPPER LEVEL WINDS AROUND 5KFT MIX DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN TIER SECTIONS. WINDS WILL SUBSIDE THIS EVENING WITH THE
LOSS OF HEATING AND HIGH PRESSURE AGAIN BUILDS OVER THE AREA FROM
THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST.  -RHJ/RA

.FIRE WEATHER...

SEE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION ABOVE. CRITICAL PARAMETERS OF WIND AND RH
EXPECTED TO BE MET TODAY. FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS HAVE DRIED OUT DUE TO
ALL THE WIND IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. FIRE WEATHER WATCH UPGRADED TO
RED FLAG WARNING ALL ZONES FROM 900 AM THROUGH 900 PM.

WEDNESDAY LOOKS LIKE AN EVEN WORSE FIRE WEATHER DAY WITH CLIPPER LOW
EXPECTED PASS JUST TO OUR N-E... ENHANCING DRY DOWNSLOPE WESTERLY
WINDS OFF THE BLUE RIDGE.

432 AM EST SUN MAR 4 2007

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

...FIRE DANGER INCREASING...

THE COMBINATION OF NORTHWEST WINDS AT 10 TO 20 MPH... ALONG WITH
VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN THE TEENS THIS AFTERNOON...
WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR ADVERSE FIRE BEHAVIOR. HOWEVER... MUCH
COLDER TEMPERATURES (LESS CONDUCIVE TO RAPID FIRE GROWTH) IN THE 40S
TO LOWER 50S WILL HELP OFFSET THE VERY DRY BREEZY CONDITIONS. A RED
FLAG WARNING IS NOT ANTICIPATED. HOWEVER... BURNING IS NOT
RECOMMENDED.
&&

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A RED FLAG WARNING MAY BE NECESSARY MONDAY AS THE WEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO AROUND 20 MPH... MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES REMAIN
IN THE TEENS... AND WARMER TEMPERATURES NEAR 60 ARE EXPECTED. THESE
PARAMETERS IN COMBINATION WITH DRIER FUEL MOISTURES BY MONDAY MAY
BECOME CRITICAL ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RED FLAG WARNING.

WITH NO RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEK... ANY DRY COLD FRONTS WILL
HAVE TO BE MONITORED.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
