AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1220 PM EDT WED JUN 13 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN JUST OFF THE EAST
COAST THROUGH FRIDAY... BRINGING COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
12Z SFC ANALYSIS THIS MORNING SHOWS 1022MB HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
GREAT LAKES...WITH WEAK SFC RIDGING EXTENDING SOUTHWEST INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC. DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE STATE THIS MORNING WERE IN THE
MID 50S IN THE MOUNTAINS AND LOWER 60S ELSEWHERE. WEAK NE FLOW FROM
THE SFC UP TO THE TROPOPAUSE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST
TODAY...WITH TROUGHING EXTENDING SSW INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES.

LIKELY POPS AND MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES APPEAR ON TRACK FOR
TODAY...ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT
SHOWER ACTIVITY AND CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING WILL HAVE ENOUGH OF A
STABILIZING EFFECT TO LIMIT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON. THE
00Z 06/13 SPC WRF 4KM FORECAST REFLECTIVITY PRODUCT WAS SHOWING
ACTIVITY PRIMARILY THIS MORNING...WITH A LULL IN ACTIVITY FOR THE
MOST PART THIS AFTERNOON. THE 00Z NAM80 IS SHOWING WIDESPREAD LIGHT
QPF ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN BOTH 12-18Z AND 18-00Z THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH ACTIVITY IN THE NORTH THE FIRST HALF OF
TODAY...SHIFTING SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON. THE GFS DOESNT SEEM TO BE
CAPTURING THE CURRENT ACTIVITY TOO WELL THIS MORNING ACROSS CENTRAL
NC...AND ACTUALLY KEEPS ANY ACCUMULATED PRECIP THROUGH 18Z OVER THE
FAR SOUTHEAST COASTAL PLAIN. THEREFORE...WILL TREND MORE TOWARDS THE
NAM/WRF FOR THE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON.

THE SPC IS FORECASTING A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL NC...WITH THE SLIGHT RISK AREA ACTUALLY
STRETCHING FROM THE GULF COAST NORTH THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC INTO
PA AND SOUTHERN NY. IT SEEMS LIKE THE THREAT FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE LESS TODAY WHEN COMPARED WITH YESTERDAY SINCE
THE H5 LOW AND ASSOC CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT IS NOW SOUTH OF THE
AREA. HOWEVER...GENERAL TROUGHINESS REMAINS ALOFT OVER THE AREA IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PARENT H5 LOW SPINNING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND
COAST...AND SOME UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS THE STATE
THIS AFTERNOON. MORE PERVASIVE CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING WILL HELP
LIMIT INSOLATION. HOWEVER...VIS SAT IMAGERY DOES SHOW BREAKS IN THE
CLOUD COVER ALREADY...AND THE CONVECTIVE TEMP OFF THE 12Z GSO
SOUNDING IS ONLY 77F...SO IT DOES APPEAR THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
HEATING TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY FOR DEEP CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON. A MODIFIED 12Z GSO SOUNDING (79F TEMP AND 61F DEWPOINT)
YIELDS SFC BASED CAPE VALUES OF 1500 TO 2000 J/KG AND LIFTED INDICES
AROUND -5. THE FREEZING AND WBZ LEVELS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY...ALTHOUGH STILL LOW FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR AT AROUND 11 KFT. PROFILES ARE MUCH MORE MOIST TODAY...WITH
PWAT VALUES OF ALMOST 1.50 COMPARED TO AROUND 1.00 YESTERDAY.
ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE DOES NOT APPEAR AS PRIMED AS YESTERDAY...THE
DATA SUGGESTS THERE WILL STILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG
AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT
FROM HAIL AND WET DOWNBURSTS. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE NORTH ATLANTIC COAST WILL PERSIST
THROUGH FRIDAY... THEN LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST FRIDAY NIGHT.
AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES FURTHER OFFSHORE WE CAN EXPECT A DECREASING
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE BELOW SEASONAL
NORMS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SAT NIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUE...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW RIDGE
BUILDING ALOFT ALONG THE EAST COAST WITH BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE AT
THE SURFACE EXPANDING INTO THE SAVANNAH BASIN AND NORTHEAST GULF.
LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE AND PREDOMINANT WESTERLY COMPONENT IN THE
LOW LEVEL FLOW FAVORS A DRY PATTERN WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING WELL
ABOVE NORMAL. DAILY HIGHS SHOULD REACH 90 TO 95.

FOR WED...MODELS SUGGEST LOWERING HEIGHTS WITH A TROUGH MOVING
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS SHOULD PUSH A COLD FRONT AND SURFACE
TROUGH TO THE APPALACHIANS...DESTABILIZING THE AIRMASS FOR AN
INCREASE IN CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT WITH HEATING AND AT LEAST A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF DIURNAL SHOWERS AND TSTMS LATE WED. HIGHS UPPER 80S TO
AROUND 90. -RFG

&&

.AVIATION /16Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
EXPECT QUICK DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE IN PLACE... WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE... AND PERTURBATIONS
ROUNDUING THE OFFSHORE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND TRACKING DOWN THE
MIDATLANTIC COAST. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE LIKELY BEFORE
19Z. PRECISE TIMING AND COVERAGE ARE STILL AT ISSUE THOUGH... AND
FOR THIS REASON HAVE KEPT PRECIP MENTION AS VCSH AND A TEMPO FOR A
CB. ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE LIKELY TO MOVE FROM NORTHEAST TO
SOUTHWEST... AND WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL...
ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS... AND NEARLY CONTINUOUS LIGHTNING
STRIKES... AND AVIATION INTERESTS WILL WANT TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH
ON RADAR AND OBSERVATIONS THROUGH THE DAY. THEN... STARTING THIS
EVENING THE DEEP ONSHORE FLOW WILL BEGIN TO BRING IN COOLER AND
MORE STABLE AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS... AND HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MVFR-IFR FOG AND IFR-LIFR CEILINGS TONIGHT.
HAVE BROUGHT IN MVFR-IFR CEILINGS AND FOG AFTER 08Z.

LOOKING BEYOND THIS TAF VALID PERIOD... PATCHY IFR CLOUDS AND FOG
ARE POSSIBLE BEFORE AND NEAR DAYBREAK FRIDAY... OTHERWISE NO
AVIATION HAZARDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY. -GIH/RFG

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
