AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
228 PM EDT SAT JUL 5 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A MOIST AND UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL PERSIST OVER CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
LATE MONDAY...BUT MOIST AIR REMAINING IN PLACE KEEPS CHANCES OF
MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR
MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM SATURDAY...

LOW STRATUS HAS BEEN VERY PERSISTENT ACROSS THE TRIAD THIS AFTERNOON
AHEAD OF THE MID LEVEL WAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE TN/NC MOUNTAINS.
MODELS NEVER DID HAVE A GOOD GRASP ON THIS...WITH THE NAM ONLY
SHOWING SOME WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE 300K SFC. THE PERSISTENT
CLOUD COVER HAS RESULTED IN A PRONOUNCED DIFFERENTIAL HEATING
BOUNDARY ACROSS THE CWA...EXTENDING FROM JUST WEST OF THE TRIANGLE
SOUTHWESTWARD TO JUST SOUTH OF CHARLOTTE. AREAS TO THE EAST OF THE
BOUNDARY HAVE RISEN INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S... TO EVEN 90 IN
CLINTON. TO THE WEST OF THE BOUNDARY...TEMPERATURES ARE STUCK IN THE
MID 70S IN THE TRIAD.

THIS DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY SHOULD SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON (BEGINNING TO SEE SIGNS OF
THIS IN THE SOUTHWEST PIEDMONT) AS THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVES IN
FROM THE WEST. MLCAPES ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS WILL
CLIMB TO 1500-2000 J/KG. STILL ANTICIPATING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND PERSIST INTO THIS
EVENING. IN THE NW PIEDMONT...WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS AS NUMEROUS
SHOWERS ARE BEING DETECTED BY RADAR ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS.

PRECIPITABLE WATERS CLIMB TO NEAR 2 INCHES THIS EVENING...SO ANY
HEAVIER THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCERS
AND LOCALIZED FLOODING IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. AS STATED EARLIER...
DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS NOT IMPRESSIVE...ONLY ON THE ORDER OF 20-25 KTS.
CONVECTION WILL REMAIN PULSE IN NATURE...WITH LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS
THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE
REGION WHERE THE STEEPEST LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND HIGHEST DCAPES
(AROUND 700 J/KG) ARE LOCATED.

CONVECTION LIKELY TO PERSIST WELL INTO THE EVENING AS UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE INCREASES IN RESPONSE TO THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING
SOUTH FROM THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. LIKELY POPS
WILL BE CARRIED THROUGH ABOUT 03Z...WITH A CHANCE LINGERING THROUGH
THE NIGHT. EXPECT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TO BE SIMILAR TO LAST
NIGHT....WHERE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION MAINTAINED ITSELF
THROUGH SUNRISE. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE MILD AND MUGGY...GENERALLY
AROUND 70 DEGREES.

SUNDAY SHOULD BE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE OF TODAY WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS BREAKING OUT IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MLCAPES ONCE
AGAIN RISE TO 1500-2000 J/KG AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS REMAIN AROUND 2
INCHES. UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION WITH
THE TROUGH AXIS ORIENTED NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS THE OHIO AND
TENNESSEE VALLEYS. IF ANY SUBTLE SHORTWAVES ROTATE OUT OF THE BASE
OF THE TROUGH...THEY WILL ONLY SERVE TO FURTHER ENHANCE CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. POPS ONCE AGAIN WELL INTO
THE LIKELY RANGE. PERSISTENCE FOR HIGHS... GENERALLY MID TO UPPER
80S.

SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE ISOLATED ONCE AGAIN DUE TO WEAK SHEAR. HIGH
PRECIP WATERS POINT TO HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALLY DAMAGING WET
MICROBURSTS AS THE MAIN THREATS WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 130 PM SATURDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT:
THE UPPER LOW JUST TO OUR WEST OVER THE TN/OH VALLEYS IS EXPECTED TO
BEGIN TO WEAKEN SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING AS IT DRAWS
CLOSER TO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. EVEN SO...THERE ARE STILL
INDICATIONS THAT SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
UPPER LOW WILL CROSS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OR SSW TO NNE OVER CENTRAL
NC AT SOME POINT(S) DURING THE NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY...FCST SOUNDINGS
SHOW ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES (AROUND 2.00)
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. A VERY MOIST JULY ATMOSPHERE PLUS AN UPPER LOW
JUST TO THE WEST IS MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON TO KEEP IN A CHANCE
(30-40%) OF SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. COVERAGE WILL
DEPEND ON THE EXTENT OF UPPER LEVEL LIFT DURING THE NIGHT AND ALSO
ON ANY PRE-EXISTING CONVECTION AND ASSOC OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
LINGERING FROM AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION ON SUNDAY. LOW TEMPS
WILL BE MILD...IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

MONDAY:
THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO HAVE WEAKENED TO AN OPEN WAVE BY THIS
TIME...AND SHOULD BE LOCATED SOMEWHERE ALONG THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS (WESTERN NC/VA AND WV MOUNTAINS). BOTH THE 12Z NAM/GFS
SHOW THE UPPER WAVE ENTERING THE FOOTHILLS OR FAR WESTERN PIEDMONT
BY 00-06Z TUE MORNING. FCST SOUNDINGS ARE CONTINUING TO SHOW A VERY
MOIST AIRMASS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES AROUND 1.75-2.00...WITH THE LOWER VALUES IN THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT. GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE TO THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT...THE BETTER UPPER LEVEL LIFT DURING THE DAY MONDAY MAY BE
SHIFTED A BIT EAST TOWARD THE TRIANGLE/FAY AREA AND COASTAL PLAIN.
FOR THIS REASON (IN ADDITION TO BETTER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY IN THE
EAST)...WILL SHOW THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS IN THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA...WITH RELATIVELY LOWER CHANCES IN THE
WESTERN PORTION. HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH LIKELY POPS (60%) IN THE
COASTAL PLAIN...TAPERING BACK TO LOW/MID CHANCE (30-40%) IN THE FAR
WESTERN PIEDMONT. LOW/MID LEVEL FLOW (0-3 KM) IS 20 KNOTS OR LESS
MONDAY AFTERNOON...GENERALLY NOT ENOUGH TO ORGANIZE CONVECTION...AND
THEREFORE ANY SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE CONFINED TO ISOLATED CELLS
WITH A PRIMARY THREAT OF STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN DOWNBURSTS DUE TO
WATER LOADING AND EVAPORATIVE COOLING.

MONDAY NIGHT:
THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS EXPECTED TO FURTHER DEAMPLIFY OVER THE
MID-ATLANTIC MONDAY NIGHT AS IT PROGRESSES A BIT FURTHER EAST INTO
CENTRAL NC/VA. TOUGH TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE CONVECTION
AFTER MIDNIGHT TOWARD SUNRISE TUE...AND THIS WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON
THE LOCATION/COVERAGE OF CONVECTION AND ANY BOUNDARIES AFTER SUNSET
MON EVENING...AND THE EXACT POSITION OF THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE DURING
THIS TIME. WILL NEED TO CARRY AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...AND MAY GO WITH LOW
CHANCE (30%) IN THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA WHICH IS MORE LIKELY TO
BE IN A BETTER POSITION W/RESPECT TO THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE. WILL GO
WITH PERSISTENCE FOR LOW TEMPS...RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S. -VINCENT

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM SATURDAY...

THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BECOMES MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL FOR THE REST OF
THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK...WITH VERY BROAD TROUGHING ACROSS THE
EASTERN CONUS...PRIMARILY FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC / TN VALLEY AND
POINTS NORTH. BOTH THE GFS/NAM FORECAST WEAK LEE SURFACE TROUGHING
EACH DAY ACROSS CENTRAL NC...AND FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW A TYPICAL
EARLY/MID JULY ATMOSPHERE WITH ENOUGH MOISTURE/INSTABILITY THAT A
LOW CHANCE (30%) OF SHOWERS/STORMS EACH DAY DURING THE PEAK-HEATING
AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS LOOKS PRETTY REASONABLE. BETTER CHANCES MAY
BE POSSIBLE FROM WED EVENING THROUGH FRI MORNING WHEN A WEAK FRONT
(ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL LOW AROUND THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
REGION AND A SFC LOW MOVING INTO NEW ENGLAND) MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE
LOWER MID-ATLANTIC AND CAROLINAS. WILL ADVERTISE 40% POPS DURING
THAT GENERAL TIME FRAME. OTHERWISE...HIGH/LOW TEMPS SHOULD BE
NEAR-NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. -VINCENT

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM SATURDAY...

MVFR STRATUS STILL HANGING ON ACROSS THE TRIAD TERMINALS. THE
BACKEDGE OF THE LOW STRATUS LOOKS TO CLEAR THE INT/GSO IN THE NEXT
FEW HOURS...SO LIKELY TO SEE LIFTING CEILINGS BY 21Z. ELSEWHERE...
DAYTIME HEATING HAS MIXED THE BOUNDARY LAYER SUFFICIENTLY TO LIFT
ALL CIGS TO VFR OR AT THE CASE AT FAY/RWI... SCATTER THEM OUT. AS
THE ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZES AHEAD OF A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE...EXPECT
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
INSTEAD OF BOGGING DOWN THE TERMINALS WITH MANY HOURS OF THUNDER IN
TEMPO GROUPS...WILL SIMPLY GO WITH VCTS FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
ABOUT 06Z. AS THUNDERSTORMS EVOLVE ON THE RADAR SCOPE...WILL BE ABLE
TO FINE TUNE THE FORECASTS AT THE TERMINALS TO BETTER SHOW THE
EXPECTED IMPACTS. ANY STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...VERY HEAVY RAIN WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE
VSBYS...AND LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS.

HAVE INCLUDED MVFR FOG IN THE PREDAWN HOURS GIVEN THE EXPECTED
RAINFALL AND VERY HUMID CONDITIONS. FOG COULD BE EVEN
WORSE...DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAINFALL EACH TERMINAL RECEIVES.

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED SUNDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. HAVE INTRODUCED CBS TO ALL TERMINALS BEGINNING
AT 16Z TOMORROW.

THE THREAT FOR DIURNAL STORMS WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

348 AM EDT SAT JUL 5 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING...WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS NEAR 60
MPH. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE...WITH RAIN IN THE
STRONGER STORMS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR. THIS COULD RESULT
IN PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND ISOLATED FLOODING OF LOW-LYING
AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. MORE ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTAIN
FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND SUNDAY EVENING...WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS
NEAR 60 MPH. SINCE A MOIST AIR MASS WILL STILL BE IN PLACE OVER
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL COULD RESULT IN
PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND ISOLATED FLOODING OF LOW-LYING AND
POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. WHILE LESS NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED MONDAY...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THEN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...MAINLY BETWEEN 3 PM AND 10 PM. SPOTTERS SHOULD STAY
