AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
240 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2007

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP MOIST AIR
OVER THE AREA TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH INTO NORTH
CAROLINA EARLY THURSDAY AND REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS SOUTHERN
NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EASTWARD
ACROSS THE AREA EARLY SATURDAY... AND WILL BRING AN END TO RAIN
CHANCES FOR LATE WEEKEND ONWARD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE TRIPLE POINT LOW OVER
NORTHWEST NC WITH THE PRIMARY LOW EXTENDING ALONG THE OCCLUDED FRONT
BACK WEST TO EAST TN. THE BACKDOOR FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE OCCLUDED
LOW NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS VA... WITH THE COLD FRONT STRETCHING
SOUTHWARD INTO EAST GA. WARM SECTOR CONVECTION CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE
INTO LINES AND SEGMENTS OVER NC THIS AFTERNOON. DESPITE MODERATE
INSTABILITY AND IMPROVING DEEP LAYER SHEAR... THE SEVERE THREAT HAS
BEEN RESTRICTED BY A VERY WET COLUMN AND WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.
0-1 KM SRH STILL HOVERS NEAR 100 M2/S2 AND WITH LCL HEIGHTS OF JUST
500 M... WILL STILL NEED TO WATCH FOR ISOLATED DEEPER CONVECTION
THAT COULD PRODUCE A QUICK SPIN-UP. OTHERWISE THE SEVERE THREAT
SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED INTO EARLY EVENING. OF GREATER CONCERN WILL
BE THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES THAT ARE
ALREADY 200% OF NORMAL WILL CONTINUE TO CLIMB WITH STRONG 925-850 MB
MOISTURE FLUX PERSISTING. PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY SHOULD BE HIGH
WITH LAPS SOUNDINGS SHOWING AN LCL-TO-FREEZING-LEVEL LAYER OF 3.5
KM... FAVORING WARM RAIN PROCESSES. THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE RISK OF HEAVY RAIN AND POTENTIAL FOR
URBAN FLOODING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE TRICKY WITH THE FRONT
TRYING TO PUSH IN FROM BOTH THE WSW AND FROM THE NORTH. HAVE GONE
WITH A SLOW DROP OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHEAST... YIELDING
LOWS OF 59 TO 69. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

THE DETAILS OF THE FORECAST GET VERY MURKY AFTER TONIGHT... BUT ONE
THING WE ARE SURE OF IS AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF ON AND OFF RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS... AND MARKEDLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ESPECIALLY IN THE
NORTHWEST PIEDMONT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD
AT 250-300% OF NORMAL... ESPECIALLY OVER THE PIEDMONT EASTWARD...
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE FLUX REMAINS
STRONG AND CONTINUES TO PUMP COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF ATLANTIC MOISTURE
INTO THE AREA. WERE ALSO LIKELY TO SEE LARGER SCALE SUPPORT FOR
ASCENT FROM WEAK VORTICITY MAXIMA TRACKING NORTHWARD ON THE EAST
SIDE OF THE CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY... AND MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW A PERSISTENT AREA OF
UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE CENTERED OVER NC/VA THROUGH FRIDAY. WHILE
THERE WILL NO DOUBT BE A FEW LULLS IN THE RAIN... IT IS HIGHLY
PROBABLY THAT EVERYONE WILL SEE MEASURABLE RAIN... AND PROBABLY
QUITE A BIT OF IT... FROM TIME TO TIME. WILL CARRY POPS OF 70% OR
GREATER THROUGH FRIDAY. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL FOR THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE AROUND 2.0-4.5 INCHES... AND EVEN THESE
AMOUNTS ARE CONSERVATIVE COMPARED TO THE MODEL AVERAGE QPF. A FEW
SPOTS BENEATH PERSISTENT DEEP CONVECTION ORIENTED ALONG THE MEAN
FLOW COULD SEE HIGHER AMOUNTS THAN THESE... AND THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK HAS BEEN UPDATED TO UNDERSCORE THE HEAVY RAIN RISK
ESPECIALLY IN URBAN AREAS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

REGARDING TEMPERATURES... THE COLD FRONT... AS THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE DEVELOPING COLD AIR DAMMING EVENT... IS EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH
AND WEST AND SQUEEZE OUT THE WARM AND MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIR TO THE
SOUTHEAST ON THURSDAY. PRECISELY WHERE THIS FRONT ENDS UP BY
THURSDAY AFTERNOON IS VERY TOUGH TO PINPOINT. THE NAM IS MUCH MORE
AGGRESSIVE IN PUSHING THE FRONT SOUTHEAST OF THE CWA BY 00Z FRIDAY
WHEREAS THE GFS HOLDS IT FARTHER NORTHWEST. THE ECMWF IS A
COMPROMISE WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE NAM... AND THIS SCENARIO WAS
FAVORED. THE AIR MASS BEHIND THE FRONT IS QUITE STABLE WITH LOW
DEWPOINTS WELL DOWN INTO THE 30S AND ITS CENTER SHOULD STRENGTHEN TO
BETTER THAN 1030 MB AS IT MOVES TO THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY... ALL
FAVORABLE FACTORS FOR A STRONG DAMMING EVENT IN NC... ESPECIALLY
CONSIDERING THE STRONG OVERRUNNING FLOW ATOP THE COLD DOME. THIS
WILL EQUATE TO NEARLY STEADY TEMPERATURES OR JUST A SMALL RISE
DURING THE DAY TOMORROW OVER ALL BUT THE FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES.
DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE 62-74 ALTHOUGH THESE SHOULD MOSTLY OCCUR EARLY
IN THE DAY. THE WEDGE REGIME PERSISTS THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE UPPER
LOW BEGINS TO LIFT VERY SLOWLY TO THE NORTH. THE GFS TRIES TO BRING
THE WEDGE FRONT BACK NORTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE COASTAL PLAIN... BUT
THIS IS FAR FROM CERTAIN GIVEN THE POSITION AND STRENGTH OF THE
PARENT HIGH... ITS SUPPORT ALOFT... AND THE OVERRUNNING RAIN HOLDING
IN THE STABLE AIR. WILL HAVE HIGHS 63-73 FRIDAY AND EVEN THIS MAY BE
TOO HIGH.

THE CLOSED LOW FINALLY STARTS TO GET PICKED UP BY THE INCOMING
NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH AND MOVES TO OUR NORTHWEST... KICKING THE
SURFACE FRONT THROUGH CENTRAL NC SATURDAY. EXPECT HIGHS OF 69-76
WITH WIDESPREAD RAIN AND STORMS ENDING WEST TO EAST EARLY IN THE
DAY. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

MORE CALM AND DRY WEATHER IS ON THE HORIZON. THE MODELS AGREE FAIRLY
WELL ON TAKING THE SURFACE FRONT EASTWARD INTO THE NC COASTAL AREA
EARLY SATURDAY EVENING... TAKING MUCH OF THE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL
WITH IT. WILL HOLD ONTO POPS IN THE EASTERN CWA UNTIL AROUND
MIDNIGHT. FOLLOWING THIS... EXPANSIVE PACIFIC-ORIGIN HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S. FROM THE WEST
SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH RELATIVELY FLAT MID LEVEL TROUGHING
OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN NORTH AMERICA THROUGH MID WEEK. CENTRAL NC
WILL SEE NO MOISTURE RETURN AND THUS NO RAIN THROUGH THIS PERIOD...
ALTHOUGH THE OLD BOUNDARY AND MORE ONSHORE-ORIENTED FLOW FARTHER
SOUTHEAST ALONG THE SC/GA COASTS MAY PROVIDE SOME LINGERING RAIN
THERE... AND SOME ENHANCED CLOUDINESS COULD SPREAD OVER SOUTHERN
COASTAL PLAIN. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES ARE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
SUNDAY BUT DROP MORE STEEPLY MONDAY... WHEN THE BULK OF THE COOLER
AIR IS ABLE TO SURGE OVER THE MOUNTAINS. EXPECT HIGHS 65-70
SUNDAY... 61-66 MONDAY... AND 65-69 TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY AS THE AIR
MASS MODIFIES. -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

MVFR WITH PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO CEILINGS AND CONVECTION
EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO IFR OR LIFR CONDITIONS IN
CEILINGS AS A SURFACE FRONT GRADUALLY SLIDES SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THU. THIS FRONT EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS THE
REGION AND WAVER NWED LATE THU INTO FRI. THIS FRONT WILL ALSO BE A
FOCUS FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AS SURFACE FLOW WILL BECOME NE BEHIND
BOUNDARY BUT WINDS WILL REMAIN S-SE AT 1500-2000FT WITH SPEEDS
30-35KTS THROUGH 09Z THU AFTERWHICH THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO 25KTS
OR LESS.

ANY CONVECTION TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EXPECTED TO BE ISOLATED SO
HAVE OMITTED FROM TAFS AT THIS TIME.

MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO CEILINGS EXPECTED THU NIGHT INTO FRI WITH
LOCALIZED IFR DUE TO CEILINGS AND HEAVY RAIN.

DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR WILL ADVANCE WEST-TO-EAST ACROSS THE
REGION SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT CROSS THE
REGION.

VFR CONDITIONS SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS DRY AND
STABLE CONDITIONS. -WSS
