AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
810 PM EDT FRI AUG 29 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER ACROSS
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH SATURDAY... AS AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE SPINS OVER THE CAROLINAS. A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL
DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE STATE ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...

...UPDATED AT 430 PM...

THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATED A SURFACE TROUGH OR WIND SHIFT
LINE WAS LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF OUR REGION...
ROUGHLY STRETCHING WEST TO EAST FROM ROCKINGHAM AND LAURINBURG TO
FAYETTEVILLE... SMITHFIELD AND GOLDSBORO. THE HIGHEST INSTABILITY
AND SURFACE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WAS LOCATED ALONG THIS BOUNDARY.
RADAR TRENDS WERE SHOWING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN
DEVELOPING ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. WITH LIGHT
STEERING FLOW... HEAVY RAIN UNDER THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE THE
MAIN WEATHER HAZARD... WITH 1.5 TO 2 INCH HOURLY RATES EXPECTED.

WE WILL UPDATE THE FORECAST TO PLACE THE HIGHEST POP ACROSS THIS
REGION FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING... WITH ISOLATED
CONVECTION POSSIBLE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE COASTAL PLAIN. THERE WAS
LITTLE SUPPORT FOR CONVECTION TO THE WEST AND NORTH. UPDATED GRIDS
AND FORECASTS HAVE BEEN SENT. -BADGETT

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... AS OF 230 PM FRIDAY...

THE MORNING CLOUDS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO LIFT AND BREAK... NOT
SURPRISING GIVEN THE WEAK WIND FIELD IN THE LOWEST 4 KM AS SEEN ON
MORNING SOUNDINGS AND AMDAR AIRCRAFT SOUNDINGS. THE 12Z GSO SOUNDING
WAS STRONGLY CAPPED WITH NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITABLE WATER... WHEREAS
THE 12Z MHX SOUNDING EXHIBITED A MUCH WEAKER CAP AND GREATER
MOISTURE WITH PW VALUES NEARLY 130% OF NORMAL... AND SURE ENOUGH THE
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE TENDED TO FORM THIS AFTERNOON OVER
THE EASTERN CWA WHERE MIXED LAYER CAPE HAS RISEN TO 1000-1500 J/KG.
WILL HOLD ONTO A CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR STORM OVER THE EAST HALF
THROUGH EARLY EVENING... THEN THE COLUMN SHOULD QUICKLY STABILIZE
LEADING TO MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES AFTER MIDNIGHT. OVERALL MOISTURE
BENEATH THE WARM LAYER ALOFT SHOULD REMAIN HIGH WITH CONTINUED PW
ABOVE 1.5 INCHES OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN COUNTIES... SO WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A SHOWER OR TWO OVERNIGHT... BUT COVERAGE
SHOULDNT BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A POP. AREAS OF FOG ARE LIKELY TO
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT... ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGH-DEW POINT AIR ALONG AND
EAST OF HIGHWAY 1. SOME OF THIS COULD BE LOCALLY DENSE. UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MOST DENSE FOG PRECLUDES ISSUING A DENSE
FOG ADVISORY AT THIS TIME... BUT WE MAY INDEED NEED AN ADVISORY
TONIGHT. EXPECT LOWS SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT... 68-73.

THE UPPER LEVEL VORTEX NOTED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY OVER UPSTATE SC
WILL WOBBLE EASTWARD OVER THE REGION LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.
WHILE THIS WILL SERVE TO LARGELY ERODE THE WARM CAP ALOFT... THE
VERY WEAK WIND FIELD WILL PROVIDE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF DYNAMIC
FORCING FOR ASCENT AS IT APPROACHES. THE COOLING TEMPERATURES ALOFT
SHOULD INCREASE INSTABILITY BY THE AFTERNOON... AND GIVEN THE
PROJECTED PW NEARLY 150% OF NORMAL... WE SHOULD SEE CONVECTION
FIRING EARLIER TOMORROW THAN WEVE SEEN TODAY. WILL GO WITH SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS WEST AND CHANCE POPS EAST. SEVERE WEATHER DOESNT LOOK
LIKE A BIG THREAT WITH MARGINAL MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND VIRTUALLY
ZERO DEEP LAYER SHEAR... BUT CAPE COULD APPROACH MODERATE LEVELS IN
THE EAST... AND ISOLATED BRIEFLY STRONG CELLS ARE POSSIBLE. EXPECT
HIGHS OF 88-92... NOT FAR FROM TODAYS HIGHS GIVEN THE SIMILAR AIR
MASS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM FRIDAY...
A FEW OUTFLOW DRIVEN CONVECTIVE SHOWERS COULD PERSIST INTO THE LATE
EVENING/OVERNIGHT HOURS SATURDAY NIGHT AS AIRMASS REMAINS MARGINALLY
MOIST AND UNSTABLE WITH PWATS BETWEEN 1.6 TO 1.8 AND SBCAPES
GENERALLY BETWEEN 500 TO 1000 J/KG. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL 850 FLOW
LOOKS TO BE LARGE DIFFLUENT INITIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT...BEFORE MODELS INDICATE SOME WEAK LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE
LATE AS S/W TROUGH PUSHES EAST THROUGH COASTAL SECTIONS.

MODEL DEPICTED LIS INDICATE BACK-DOOR COLD FRONT PASSAGE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 18 TO 00Z SUNDAY...AS STABLE NE LOW-LEVEL
SURGE SPREADS SOUTH. FAVORABLE DIURNAL TIMING AS BAROCLINIC ZONE
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA COMBINED WITH WEAK UPPER JET ENTRANCE
DIVERGENCE ALONG THE SOUTHERN TAIL OF EXITING LONG WAVE TROUGH OFF
THE NORTHEAST COAST SHOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIFT AS MOISTURE
REMAINS SLIGHT ABOVE NORMAL AND MLCAPES HOVER AROUND 1000 TO 1500
J/KG ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL NC. WILL KEEP A 20 TO 30 PERCENT POPS FOR
WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDER.

EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL MAKE FOR MILD MIN
TEMPERATURES...LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. HIGHS SUNDAY IN
THE MID 80S NORTH TO AROUND 90 SOUTH. COOLER SUNDAY NIGHT AS DRIER
AIR SPREADS INTO THE AREA. MINS MONDAY MORNING IN THE MID TO UPPER
60S...WITH SOME LOWERS 60S ALONG THE NC/VA LINE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS 230 PM FRIDAY...
SPRAWLING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES WILL
DOMINATE THE LONG TERM PERIOD. THE PERIOD WILL BE CHARACTERIZED
BY BELOW NORMAL PWATS WITH LIMITED INSTABILITY AS MID-LEVELS REMAIN
WARM AND DRY. THUS...DRY THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE ABOVE NORMAL
HEIGHTS TRANSLATE TO 3 TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE THE 30 YEAR CLIMATOLOGY
...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN
THE LOWER TO MID 60S.

AS FAR AS THE TROPICS...LITTLE HAS CHANGED SINCE YESTERDAY
CONCERNING GUSTAV AND HANNA. THERE IS GREATER CONFIDENCE TODAY THAT
HANNA WILL MOST LIKELY NOT GET PICKED UP BY THE LONG WAVE
TROUGH/CLOSED LOW EXITING THE NORTHEAST COAST ON SUNDAY.
SO...THE EVENTUAL PATHS/TRACKS OF BOTH TROPICAL CYCLONE GUSTAV AND
HANNA...WILL BE GREATLY INFLUENCED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED STRONG
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE...INCLUDING ITS SOUTHERN/SOUTHWESTERN EXTENT AND
EVENTUAL DEMISE. DUE TO DISCREPANCIES IN THESE DETAILS...
UNCERTAINTY INCREASES AFTER 48 HOURS WITH BOTH STORMS.
ALL INTERESTS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF...FROM TEXAS TO THE FLORIDA
COAST WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE LATEST OFFICIAL FORECASTS
FROM THE NHC AT WWW.NHC.NOAA.GOV.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 800 PM FRIDAY...

A LINGERING SURFACE TROUGH AND INLAND MOVING SEA BREEZE IN THE LOW
LEVELS AND THE PROXIMITY OF AN UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR KGSP
TRIGGERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN AND
SANDHILLS OF NC THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE SHWRS AND STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT MAINLY THE FAYETTEVILLE VICINITY THROUGH ABOUT
02Z THIS EVENING. AVIATORS WILL MAY HAVE TO BYPASS MORE ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ON APPROACH TO KRDU AND KRWI... BUT NONE ARE EXPECTED
TO OCCUR WITHIN A 10 MILE RADIUS OF EITHER OF THOSE AIRPORTS AT THIS
TIME. A STOUT MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE INVERSION SHOULD SUPPRESS ANY
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE...
INCLUDING THE KGSO AND KINT VICINITY.

THEN EXPECT VISIBILITIES TO LOWER TO IFR/LIFR IN FOG AFTER
MIDNIGHT... LOWEST FROM KRDU EASTWARD WHERE SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE
HIGHER. CONFIDENCE IN DENSE FOG IS LOWER AT INT/GSO WHERE DEW POINTS
ARE LOWER... BUT WET SOIL FROM RECENT RAINS AND CALM WINDS FAVOR AT
LEAST A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR VSBYS EVEN THERE AROUND DAYBREAK
SATURDAY. CIGS MAY ALSO BECOME IFR-LIFR DUE MAINLY TO THE FOG. THE
FOG WILL BEGIN TO LIFT AND BURN OFF IN THE 13Z-15Z TIME FRAME...
WHICH MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF SCATTERED TO BROKEN
STRATUS/STRATOCUMULUS AT THAT TIME AS THE FOG LAYER LIFTS. A SHEAR
AXIS ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR GSP THIS
EVENING WILL DRIFT ACROSS OUR AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WEAK FORCING
FOR ASCENT FROM THIS FEATURE... IN CONJUNCTION WITH SFC CONVERGENCE
ALONG A LINGERING SURFACE TROUGH... WILL PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON...
MAINLY AT RDU/RWI/FAY. FOG AND LOW CLOUDS COULD BRING LIFR
CONDITIONS SUNDAY MORNING AND AGAIN MONDAY MORNING... AND A FEW MORE
STORMS ARE EXPECTED MAINLY AT FAY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS MIDDAY MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
NOSES IN FROM THE NORTH. -MWS/GIH
