AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
238 PM EDT THU AUG 9 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE AREA FROM
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH FRIDAY. BY LATE FRIDAY...THE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT WESTWARD ALLOWING A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE TO DEEPEN ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THE UPPER TROUGH
WILL DRIFT OFF THE EAST COAST SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
SOUTHWARD FROM THE OHIO VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
ISOLATED DEEP CONVECTIVE CELLS WILL CONTINUE TO SPROUT MAINLY IN
THE EAST THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...BUT SHOULD
DISSIPATE AFTER NIGHTFALL. RESIDUAL ALTO CU AND DEBRIS CI MAY BE
SCT-BKN INTO THE EVENING HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO GET
MUCH BELOW 80 IN THE EAST AND UPPER 70S WEST AS DEW POINTS REMAIN
WELL INTO THE 70S EAST AND CLIMB ABOVE 70 IN THE WEST AGAIN
OVERNIGHT. -RFG

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE NORTHERN MIDWEST TROUGH DEEPENS ON FRIDAY. MID LEVELS COOL
CAUSING DESTABILIZATION WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE NEARING 7.0 DEG/KM
FRI AFTERNOON OVER THE RAH CWA. P-WATER REMAINS NEAR 2 INCHES...
SLIGHTLY MORE EAST AND SLIGHTLY LESS IN THE WEST. POPS OF LOWER
20S WEST TO LOWER 30S PERCENTILE EAST WILL BE MAINTAINED FOR
DIURNAL PULSE TSTMS. HIGHER CAPE IN THE COASTAL PLAIN COULD LEAD
TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS THOUGH THE WET BULB ZERO REMAINS ABOVE
13KFT AND FREEZING LEVEL ABOVE 16KFT. SCATTERED TSTMS MAY LINGER
IN THE COASTAL PLAIN UNTIL EARLY FRI NIGHT BEFORE DRIFTING EAST OF
THE AREA OR DISSIPATING. MODEL THICKNESS SUPPORTS HIGHS TOPPING
100 AGAIN WITH AN AXIS OF MAXIMA IN THE ROUTE 1 TO I-95 CORRIDOR.

FOR SAT AND SUN...LOWER GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHTS ALOFT AND MODERATING
NE FLOW NEAR THE SURFACE SUGGESTS A REPRIEVE FROM THE EXCESSIVE
HEAT... THOUGH STILL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE AIRMASS DRIES
WITH W TO NW FLOW ALOFT AND MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE. POPS BECOME
NEGLIGIBLE FOR BOTH SAT AND SUN.  -RFG

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
RETROGRADED UPPER RIDGE HANGS TOUGH OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS THROUGH
THE EXTENDED PERIOD. ECMWF AND THE GFS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
IN BRINGING AN ESSENTIALLY DRY BACKDOOR FRONT SOUTH LATER ON MONDAY.
WHILE TRAJECTORIES CERTAINLY DO NOT FAVOR MOISTURE ADVECTION...THE
ENHANCED CONVERGENCE SHOULD PRODUCE AT LEAST WIDELY SCATTERED
CONVECTION DUE TO GOOD INSTABILITY WITH HIGHS REACHING AROUND 90 ON
MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

THE UPPER RIDGE LOOKS TO MAKE ANOTHER UNWELCOME JOG TO THE EAST IN
THE LATE EXTENDED. THIS WILL RESULT IN A RETURN TO VERY DRY AND
HOTTER TEMPS...LOWER 90S AT LEAST...ON WED AND THU. -MLM

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

DIURNAL CONVECTION TODAY SHOULD BE CONCENTRATED IN THE EAST WHERE A
SURFACE TROF IS ENHANCING LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. COVERAGE WILL BE
SPOTTY AND HAVE ELECTED NOT TO BLANKET RWI AND FAY WITH TSRA...BUT
WILL ADD CB AS THE CLOUD TYPE AND AMEND AS THE CONVECTION
DEVELOPS.

OTHERWISE...EXPECT MUGGY CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT AND WILL USE
PERSISTENCE IN FORECASTING BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY AT RWI AND FAY IN
THE PREDAWN. WINDS WILL SWING TO WEST OR NORTHWEST AT INT AND GSO
WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE AROUND MID DAY TOMORROW...AND LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON IN THE EAST. CONVECTION MAY BE A BIT MORE WIDESPREAD
TOMORROW IN THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST...BUT THIS
SLIGHTLY BEYOND THIS TAF ISSUANCE.

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN TOMORROW NIGHT AND ON THROUGH THE WEEKEND. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. ANOTHER BACKDOOR
FRONT WILL APPROACH LATER MONDAY...AND SCATTERED CONVECTION IS
POSSIBLE FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY. -MLM
