AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
245 PM EST WED JAN 31 2007

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

NON-CLASSICAL DAMMING WINTER EVENT TO UNFOLD ACROSS CENTRAL NC
THURSDAY MORNING...AS TRANSITORY PARENT HIGH CURRENTLY CENTERED
OVER WV/VA/KY MOVES QUICKLY WELL OFF THE CAROLINA COAST.

TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY DROP OFF THIS EVENING...THEN LEVEL OFF
OR RISE A DEGREE OR TWO AS HIGH-LEVEL CLOUD DECK SPREADS WEST TO
EAST INTO THE AREA. THUS EXPECT MINS TO BE ACHIEVED BY MIDNIGHT
WITH A NON-DIURNAL TEMPERATURE TREND. WITH THE PARENT HIGH IN AN
UNFAVORED/ATYPICAL LOCATION TO PROVIDE A CONTINUOUS SOURCE OF
CAA...MIN TEMPERATURES TONIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING ARE HIGHLY CRITICAL
IN DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF FROZEN AND FREEZING PRECIP THAT WILL BE
REALIZED THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY. THE DIFFERENCE OF OVERNIGHT LOWS
IN THE MID 20S VERSES UPPER 20S WILL BE ONE FACTOR IN DETERMINING
WHETHER WARNING CRITERIA OF ICE ACCRUAL IS ACHIEVED. THE OTHER
SIGNIFICANT PLAYER DUE TO THE ATYPICAL SET UP IS TIMING AND QPF
AMOUNTS...WHICH IS A MUST TO LOCK IN IN-SITU DAMMING HIGH...WITH
DIABATIC COOLING MAXIMIZED WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE SINGLE TO LOWER
TEENS AT THE START OF PRECIP. AGAIN...I CANNOT STRESS THESE TWO
CRITICAL COMPONENTS ENOUGH...THE PRE-EXISTING COLD AIR AND THE
TIMING AND QPF AMOUNTS ARE KEY IN REALIZING ADVISORY (LESS THAN
0.10) OR WARNING (0.25 OR MORE)ICE CRITERIA.

THERE ARE NO MAJOR CHANGES TO CHANGEOVER TIMING OR DOMINANT PRECIP
TYPE...WITH THE WARM NOSE QUICKLY WARMING THE MID-LEVELS
AND THEN THE LOW-LEVELS IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AOA 15Z...MORE GRADUAL
IN THE CENTRAL PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AOA 17Z...WITH
THE WARMING MUCH DELAYED IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN
CENTRAL PIEDMONT UNTIL AROUND 00Z PER FORECAST SURFACE TW. ONE TO
TWO INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE INITIALLY THROUGH 21Z WITH AN
ADDITIONAL 0.25 OF ICE FROM 21Z TO 00Z ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE
EXTENDING FROM ALBEMARLE...TO SILER CITY...TO DURHAM...THROUGH
WARRENTON. WILL UPGRADE THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WINTER STORM
WARNING FOR THIS AREA.

JUST EAST OF THAT AREA...INCLUDING ROCKINGHAM...SANFORD...
RALEIGH...ROCKY MOUNT AND ROANOKE RAPIDS...A WINTER STORM ADVISORY
WILL BE ISSUED FOR ICE ACCRUAL OF A TRACE TO 0.10 WITH SNOWFALL OF
LESS THAN INCH AT ONSET. A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA HIGHLIGHTING A BRIEF PERIOD
OF SNOW/RAIN BEFORE QUICKLY CHANGING OVER TO RAIN.

THERE ARE NOTABLE LIQUID QPF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS
WITH THE GFS STILL SLIGHTLY FASTER AT ONSET. THE NAM QUICKLY CATCHES
UP THOUGH WITH THE HEAVIEST QPF AXIS MUCH FARTHER NORTH AND WEST
OF THE GFS FROM 18Z TO 00Z. THE GFS QPF IS PREFERRED KEEPING THE
HEAVIEST QPF ALONG THE SE CWA WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE ALONG THE
COASTAL TROUGH AND STRONGEST WAA. ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE IS A
LULL IN PRECIP LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE WEST WITH A
SECONDARY WAVE OF PRECIP DEVELOPING IN THE WEST FROM 00 TO 06Z AS
VORTICITY ADVECTION ALOFT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. AT THIS POINT
EXPECT TEMPERATURES IN THE EXTREME NW PIEDMONT TO BE RIGHT AT OR
JUST ABOVE FREEZING...RESULTING IN LITTLE TO NO ADDITIONAL ICE
ACCRUAL. WILL END PRECIP AS DRIZZLE OR FREEZING DRIZZLE IN THE FAR
NW FRIDAY MORNING...ENDING AS RAIN EVERYWHERE ELSE. LIQUID QPF
TOTALS OF A HALF INCH IN THE WEST TO JUST OVER AN INCH IN THE
SOUTHEAST.

FRI NGT-SAT NGT...A SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE PASSES TO OUR
SOUTH...KEEPING MAINLY HIGH CLOUDINESS OVER CENTRAL NC AND NARROWING

FRI NIGHT THROUGH SAT NGT.

SUN-WED...A BROAD LONG WAVE TROUGH WITH A TAP TO THE ARCTIC
DOMINATES THE FLOW ACROSS THE EASTERN 2/3RDS OF THE CONUS DURING THE
PERIOD.  THIS SHOULD RESULT IN BELOW TO MUCH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES OVER CENTRAL NC.  MODEL AND ENSEMBLE OUTPUT SHOWS ONE
ARCTIC HIGH EXTENDING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS OVER
THE WEEKEND REPLACED BY ANOTHER ARCTIC AIRMASS ON TUE AND WED.
THESE AIRMASSES ARE SEPARATED BY A RELATIVELY DRY COLD FRONT
TRAILING A CLIPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES LATE MONDAY.  GIVEN THE
DOMINANT FLOW ALOFT FROM THE NW AND NO SIGNIFICANT PERTURBATIONS IN
THE SOUTHERN STREAM... CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE
