...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1100 PM EDT FOR
CUMBERLAND COUNTY...

AT 935 PM EDT...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS REPORTED FLASH 
FLOODING OCCURRING OVER PARTS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY AROUND 
FAYETTEVILLE. TWO HOMES WERE BEGINNING TO TAKE ON WATER OVER THE 
SOUTHWEST SIDE OF FAYETTEVILLE NEAR HOPE MILLS ROAD.  IN ADDITION... 
U.S. 301 NEAR THE SOUTHERN CITY LIMITS OF FAYETTEVILLE HAD 2 FEET OF 
STANDING WATER ON IT.  DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM...BETWEEN 8 PM 
AND 9 PM...A SKYWARN SPOTTER REPORTED 2.38 INCHES OF RAIN NEAR 
FAYETTEVILLE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO POPE 
AFB...GODWIN...FORT BRAGG AND FAYETTEVILLE.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WAS CAUSING FLOODING OF 
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...URBAN AREAS...HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND 
UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER DRAINAGE AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE 
DANGERS OF FLOODING. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN 
WATER BEGINS RISING. ALSO...MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. 
NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE 
ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE 
FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE 
ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN 
AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
822 PM EDT TUE JUL 8 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS OVER THE REGION... COMBINED WITH AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH IN THE AREA... WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN TODAY.
THE TROUGH WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT. A SURFACE BOUNDARY
WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM NORTHWEST LATE WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 650 PM TUESDAY...

NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 672 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA UNTIL 11 PM.  LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...WITH
TCLT RADAR SHOWING 69KT OUTBOUND WINDS WITHIN 2K FEET OF THE SURFACE
AT ONE POINT IN STANLY COUNTY...MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST PIEDMONT
WITH ANOTHER LINE DEVELOPING OVER THE FAR NORTHWEST PIEDMONT.
LATEST MSAS SHOWS LIFTED INDICES TO -5C OVER THE NORTHERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA AND AROUND -7C OVER THE SOUTH...SO THERE IS AMPLE
INSTABILITY FOR THE STORMS TO CONTINUE TO REMAIN INTENSE AT LEAST
THROUGH THE MID-EVENING HOURS.  STRONG SURFACE CONVERGENCE EXISTS
ALL BUT THE FAR NORTHEAST TOWARD KRZZ...SO WHILE THE SEVERE THREAT
MAY BE LEAST THERE...PRESENCE OF GOOD MOISTURE WITH SURFACE THETA-E
RIDGING EVEN TOWARD KRZZ ON MSAS MAKES IT PRUDENT TO HAVE EVENT
AREAS TOWARD HALIFAX COUNTY IN THE WATCH...DESPITE EARLIER STORMS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS REMAIN RIPE FOR CONVECTION TODAY.
MODIFICATION OF THE 12Z GSO SOUNDING FOR AFTERNOON TEMP AND DEW
POINT SHOWS STRONG INSTABILITY... OVER 3700 J/KG OF MUCAPE... AND
VERY HIGH CAPE VALUES NEAR 1000 J/KG IN THE HAIL GROWTH REGION OF
-10C TO -30C ALOFT... AND THIS INSTABILITY IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE
COLD POOL ALOFT... -12C AT 12Z AT 500 MB. AVAILABLE MOISTURE IS MORE
THAN SUFFICIENT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER NEARLY 150% OF NORMAL...
ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD BE BEST IN THE CENTRAL/EAST SECTIONS OF THE
CWA... ALONG AND EAST OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS. WE ALSO HAVE A
POTENTIAL CONVECTIVE INSTIGATOR IN THE FORM OF A WEAK VORTICITY
MAXIMUM... APPARENTLY SOURCED FROM AN EASTERN IOWA MCS YESTERDAY...
THAT WILL CONTINUE ROUNDING THE TROUGH BASE PASSING THROUGH
SOUTHERN/EASTERN NC. HOWEVER... THE LATEST MODELS... PARTICULARLY
THE 06Z GFS AND 00Z WRF-ARW... ACTUALLY SHOW VERY LITTLE PRECIP OVER
CENTRAL NC THROUGH TONIGHT... AND THIS MAY BE DUE IN PART TO ITS
OVERBLOWING THE VORTICITY MAXIMUM AND HENCE OVERDOING THE NVA BEHIND
IT. AND... DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS UNIMPRESSIVE AS WELL... ONLY 15 KTS
AT MOST. NEVERTHELESS... WITH THE OBSERVED DATA SUPPORTING THIS MUCH
INSTABILITY AND WITH PLENTY OF HEATING TAKING PLACE OVER MUCH OF THE
CWA... WILL RAISE POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA... MAINLY
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS THAT WILL BE INFLUENCED BY PVA. GIVEN
THE DEGREE OF MID LEVEL INSTABILITY... HAIL AND NEARLY CONTINUOUS
LIGHTNING WILL BE THE PRIMARY WEATHER THREATS THROUGH TONIGHT...
ALTHOUGH WITH THE 30+ C VERTICAL THETA-E DIFFERENCE IN THE GSO
SOUNDING... DAMAGING WINDS CANNOT BE RULED OUT EITHER. FINALLY...
SEVERAL PARAMETERS INCLUDING THE HIGH CAPE (BOTH MUCAPE AND -10 TO
-30C CAPE)... K-INDEX OF 33-36... AND NORMALIZED CAPE OF 0.25 ALL
SUPPORT VERY VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS AND RAPID CHARGE SEPARATION... THUS
THE MENTION OF FREQUENT LIGHTNING HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE FORECAST
THROUGH TONIGHT. HAVE BUMPED HIGHS UP A FEW DEGREES IN THE EAST
WHERE MORNING SUNSHINE AND HEATING HAVE BEEN ABUNDANT... AND HAVE
LOWERED THEM A DEGREE OR TWO IN THE WEST BENEATH CONSIDERABLE MID
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS.

THE COLUMN IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT LEAST MODERATELY UNSTABLE WELL
INTO THE EVENING... AND THE RISK OF NUMEROUS STORMS WILL LIKELY
EXTEND TO NEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS
AND ITS ATTENDANT COOL POOL ALOFT WILL SHIFT TO COASTAL NC TOWARD
06Z TONIGHT. INCREASING TEMPERATURES AND ANTICYCLONIC FLOW IN THE
MID LEVELS SHOULD FORCE A WEST-TO-EAST TAPERING OFF OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER PRECIPITABLE WATER STAYS QUITE HIGH OVER
MUCH OF THE CWA... AND WE WILL NEED TO WATCH ANY MCS THAT DEVELOPS
OVER MO/OHIO VALLEY... AS ANY RESULTANT MCV MAY INDUCE NEW
CONVECTION LATE TONIGHT OVER CENTRAL/EASTERN NC. LOWS SHOULD BE VERY
MILD... AROUND 70-74.

HAVE MADE FEW CHANGES TO WEDNESDAY FORECAST. A LOBE OF VORTICITY NOW
SWEEPING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES/MIDWEST WILL APPROACH NC FROM THE
NW LATE WEDNESDAY... AND WITH A STILL MOIST (PW NEAR 150% OF NORMAL)
AND UNSTABLE (FORECAST SURFACE CAPE OVER 3000 J/KG) WITH DECENT DEEP
LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 20 KTS... THERE WILL AGAIN BE A RISK OF
SEVERE STORMS. EXPECT HIGHS OF 86-92 WITH VARIABLY CLOUDY SKIES AND
A BRISK SOUTHWEST WIND. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM MONDAY...

THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT IN BRINGING THE WEAK
FRONT INTO THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AND
STALLING IT ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY. THIS MAKES SENSE GIVEN THE RELATIVE WEAK WEST TO WEST
NORTHWESTERLY IN THE MID LEVELS AND NORMAL JULY CLIMATOLOGY THAT
WOULD FAVOR A STALLING BOUNDARY. ALTHOUGH UPPER LEVEL FORCING WILL
BE NEGLIGIBLE... THE STALLING FRONT WILL INTERACT WITH A MOIST AND
UNSTABLE AIRMASS...CHARACTERIZED BY PRECIPITABLE WATERS OF 1.75 TO 2
INCHES. THIS SHOULD SERVE TO GENERATE ANOTHER DAY OF SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL PERSIST THROUGH EARLY EVENING. HAVE
INTRODUCED POPS FROM 30 IN THE FAR NW PIEDMONT (WHERE PRECIP WATERS
DECLINE TO UNDER 1.5 INCHES IN THE AFTERNOON) TO 50 PERCENT ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST ZONES. CONVECTION WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO THE EVENING
HOURS BEFORE DIMINISHING WITH STABILIZATION OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER.

THE FRONT BEGINS TO WASH OUT ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY. THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO PREVIOUS FORECAST OF THE FRONT MOVING
SOUTH OF THE AREA. WITH MID LEVEL FLOW GENERALLY LESS THAN 15
KT...THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS SIGNS THE FRONT WOULD HAVE SUPPORT TO PUSH
SOUTH OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. THEREFORE...THIS FORECAST WILL
REINTRODUCE CHANCE POPS ON FRIDAY AS HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATERS AND
DAYTIME INSTABILITY SHOULD ONCE AGAIN PRODUCE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
CONVECTION.

LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES THROUGH THE PERIOD FAVOR NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPS
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S AND LOWS GENERALLY AROUND
70.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM TUESDAY...

VERY BENIGN UPPER LEVEL PATTER THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE MAIN JET
STREAM AND TROUGH AMPLIFICATION STAYS ACROSS THE US/CANADIAN BORDER.
THIS LEAVES OUR REGION IN A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME REGIME...
CHARACTERIZED BY TEMPS NEAR 90... MUGGY CONDITIONS WITH DEWPOINTS IN
THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70...AND ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION. WILL
CARRY A 20 POP FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS.

MODELS DO SHOW A TROUGH BEGINNING TO AMPLIFY OVER NEW ENGLAND BY
TUESDAY THAT MAY SERVE TO DROP ANOTHER FRONT INTO OUR REGION. ENOUGH
MODEL DISAGREEMENT EXISTS ON THE DEGREE OF AMPLIFICATION TO LEAVE
POPS AS IS AT 20 PERCENT. TEMPS DURING THE PERIOD SHOULD REMAIN NEAR
TYPICAL JULY LEVELS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 8 PM TUESDAY...

IFR CONDITIONS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THE
STRONGEST SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO AT LEAST MVFR IN LOW CLOUDS LATE
TONIGHT.  NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOW THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF
STRATUS LATE TONIGHT TOWARD KINT AND KGSO...ALTHOUGH GIVEN THE MOIST
AIR MASS AND THE ONGOING/RECENT RAIN...THINK STRATUS IS POSSIBLE
LATE TONIGHT AT ALL CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA TAF SITES.  DURING THE
MORNING...CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE TO VFR BY 15Z.

MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW GOOD MIXED LAYER DEVELOPING DURING THE
MORNING.  BY AFTERNOON...WITH GOOD LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...SURFACE
WIND GUSTS TO AT LEAST THE TEENS KNOTS WILL OCCUR.  THE BEST WINDS
OFF OF THE SURFACE APPEAR TO BE TOWARD KRDU...KFAY...AND KRWI...
WHERE THE 00Z TAFS REFLECT WIND GUSTS ON OCCASION TO NEAR 20KT
DURING THE AFTERNOON.  ALSO...WITH UNSTABLE MODEL SOUNDINGS ONCE
AGAIN...ANTICIPATE AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
NOTED CURRENTLY WITH CB IN THE TAFS.

LOOKING BEYOND WEDNESDAY... THE CHANCE FOR STORMS... AND HENCE THE
CHANCE OF A PERIOD OF MVFR-IFR CIGS/VSBYS... WILL PERSIST EVERY DAY
THROUGH SUNDAY... ESPECIALLY EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING.
