AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
238 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS WILL HOLD OVER THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. A
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN A COOL AND DAMP HIGH PRESSURE AREA WILL
PUSH IN FROM THE NORTH FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 130 PM TUESDAY...

SFC ANALYSIS THIS AFTERNOON SHOWED A COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM NEW
ENGLAND SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE OH/TN VALLEYS. A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
WAS LOCATED OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC...EXTENDING SOUTH THROUGH PA/MD
INTO VA. 1019 MB HIGH PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER EASTERN NC.
DEWPOINTS ACROSS CENTRAL NC WERE IN THE LOWER 70S. ALOFT...12Z RAOB
DATA SHOWED A LONGWAVE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM CANADA SOUTH THROUGH
THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. A SHORTWAVE AT 500MB WAS
LOCATED OVER SOUTHWEST VA AND WV.

TODAY:
ALTHOUGH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON... ENOUGH
SUNSHINE SHOULD BREAK THROUGH TO ALLOW TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 80S...ALTHOUGH A FEW LOCATIONS IN THE NORTH/NW MAY BARELY MAKE
IT INTO THE LOWER/MID 80S. AS FAR AS LIFT IS CONCERNED TODAY...THE
WEAK PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH WILL PROVIDE SOME WEAK/SHALLOW CONVERGENCE
THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL NC...ALTHOUGH THE BEST CONVERGENCE
(EXTENDING UP THROUGH 925 MB) IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
MOUNTAINS/FOOTHILLS AND FAR WESTERN PIEDMONT. ALOFT...BOTH THE
GFS/NAM SHOW A JET MAX AT 250MB MOVING INTO WV/VA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH DECENT UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE IN THE ENTRANCE
REGION OVER THE NC MOUNTAINS/FOOTHILLS INTO THE FAR WESTERN PIEDMONT
AND ACROSS FAR NORTHERN NC INTO VA. THERMODYNAMICALLY SPEAKING...THE
12Z GSO SOUNDING MODIFIED FOR 88/71 GIVES SBCAPES OF AROUND 3500
J/KG AND MLCAPES OF AROUND 1500-2000 J/KG TODAY...FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE.
ALTHOUGH THE BEST UPPER SUPPORT WILL GENERALLY BE NORTH OF THE
AREA...AND ALTHOUGH OUR LOW LEVEL LIFT WILL BE ON THE WEAKER
SIDE...THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BE QUITE UNSTABLE...AND WILL THEREFORE
SHOW AT LEAST 50% POPS ACROSS THE AREA...WITH LIKELY (60%) IN THE
WESTERN PIEDMONT AND NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER WHERE UPPER SUPPORT
SHOULD BE BETTER.

SEVERE THREAT:
SHEAR PARAMETERS LOOK A LITTLE BETTER FOR THIS AFTERNOON THAN
YESTERDAYS MODEL RUNS WERE SHOWING...WITH FCST SOUNDINGS SHOWING UP
TO 40KT FLOW AT 500MB...AND AROUND 30KT FLOW AT 700 MB. ALSO...SINCE
THE NAM/GFS ARE SHOWING DECENT UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE EXTENDING INTO
THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN NC LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND
SINCE THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BE QUITE UNSTABLE...IT IS DEFINITELY
POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD SEE AN ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN THE
FORM OF MULTICELL CONVECTION. LATEST SPC OUTLOOK HAS CENTRAL NC IN A
SLIGHT RISK. PRIMARY THREAT THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE SEVERE DOWNBURSTS
UP TO 70 MPH...AND HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS/GOLF BALLS (WBZ
HEIGHTS PROGGED IN THE 8-10 KFT RANGE).

TONIGHT:
THE COLD FRONT EXTENDING EAST INTO THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC WILL
DROP SOUTH TOWARD THE AREA AS A BACKDOOR FRONT BEGINNING LATE
TONIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE OH VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT
LAKES BY 12Z WED...WITH A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING SOUTH INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC. THE BACKDOOR FRONT SHOULD BE LOCATED NEAR THE VA/NC
BORDER BY SUNRISE WED. PWAT VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB UP TO
AROUND 2 AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE JET MAX MOVING INTO WV/VA LATER
THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING TOWARD THE DELMARVA THROUGH
TONIGHT...WITH CENTRAL NC (PARTICULARLY NORTHERN PORTIONS) IN AN
ENTRANCE REGION THROUGH AT LEAST 06Z. THESE FACTORS POINT TOWARD
INCREASED CHANCES FOR RAIN OVERNIGHT. THERE ARE MITIGATING
FACTORS...HOWEVER...SUCH AS THE LACK OF A STRONG/MOIST H85 INFLOW
AND ASSOC WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT...WHICH...IF PRESENT...WOULD MAKE ME
FEEL BETTER ABOUT SHOWING CATEGORICAL POPS. GIVEN THE OTHER
SUPPORTING FACTORS...THOUGH...CATEGORICAL POPS SEEM REASONABLE...WE
MAY JUST SEE LESS PRECIP OVERALL THAN IF WE HAD A STRONG/MOIST H85
INFLOW. WILL SHOW CATEGORICAL POPS (80%) BEGINNING IN THE NORTH
TONIGHT...AND EXTENDING SOUTH THROUGH THE ENTIRE AREA BY SUNRISE
WED. EXPECT AROUND A QUARTER TO HALF INCH DURING THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. ISOLD THUNDER CANNOT BE RULED
OUT ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA WITH SOUNDINGS SHOWING SUFFICIENT
ELEVATED INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WITH OVERCAST SKIES AND
PERIODS OF PRECIP...WILL SHOW FAIRLY HOMOGENEOUS LOWS RANGING FROM
69F IN THE NORTH TO 73F IN THE FAR SOUTH. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...

THROUGH WEDNESDAY:
A FAIRLY POTENT YET RELATIVELY BRIEF CLASSICAL COLD AIR DAMMING
EVENT STILL APPEARS IMMINENT. THE BACKDOOR FRONT SHOULD HEAD
STEADILY SOUTHWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE MORNING...
PROPELLED BY A CHILLY SURFACE HIGH THAT IS ROUGHLY 1029 MB AT ITS
CENTER AND IS SUPPORTED BY CONFLUENT FLOW ALOFT. HIGH
TEMPERATURES...EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM NEAR 70 NORTH TO NEAR 80 FAR
SOUTH...ARE LIKELY TO BE REACHED EARLY IN THE DAY OVER MOST OF THE
AREA...WITH READINGS NEARLY STEADY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA. SUPPORT FOR ONGOING PRECIP OVER CENTRAL NC
LOOKS TO DIMINISH DURING THE DAY. AS THE UPPER JET SLOWLY DEPARTS...
THE LIFT CONTRIBUTION BY UPPER DIVERGENCE IN ITS RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION WILL WANE...AND THE MODELS INDICATE VERY WEAK ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE AS THE 850-925 MB WINDS REMAIN LIGHT. SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS
QUITE DIFFICULT TO TRACK IN THIS SORT OF PATTERN BUT THE NAM/GFS
INDICATE THAT THIS TOO SHOULD SHEAR OUT AND WEAKEN OVER THE
MIDATLANTIC REGION. WILL CONTINUE CURRENT TREND OF SLOWLY DECREASING
POPS NE TO SW BY AFTERNOON/EVENING...BUT STILL GOING NO LOWER THAN
CHANCE POPS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT:
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST DETAILS HERE IS BELOW NORMAL. THE MEAN
MID LEVEL TROUGH JUST OFF THE NEW ENGLAND/NOVA SCOTIA COAST
CONTINUES A STEADY EASTWARD PROGRESSION...LEADING TO SLOW BUT STEADY
MID LEVEL HEIGHT RISES OVER NC. ACCORDINGLY...THE SURFACE HIGH...
WHICH SHOULD MAX OUT IN STRENGTH NEAR 1030 MB WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
LOSES THIS UPPER SUPPORT AND THUS WEAKENS AS IT MOVES OFF THE COAST
BY LATE THURSDAY. BUT AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH THESE DAMMING
EVENTS...THE COOL STABLE SURFACE-BASED POOL WILL BE DIFFICULT TO
DISLODGE IMMEDIATELY...THUS WITH MOISTURE REMAINING HIGH THROUGH THE
COLUMN WITH ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER TO LIMIT INSOLATION...EXPECT THE
WEDGE REGIME TO HOLD FIRM OVER MOST OF THE PIEDMONT THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT. WITH THE GFS SHOWING WEAK ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE PERSISTING...
HAVE HELD ONTO LOW-END CHANCE POPS...A BIT HIGHER SOUTH AND WEST.
HAVE CUT BACK THURSDAY HIGHS TO 71-79 WHICH IS A LEAN TOWARD SREF
HIGHS AND FOLLOWS THE TRENDS OF RECENT STATISTICAL GUIDANCE.

FRIDAY:
THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH VERTICAL MIXING AND HORIZONTAL COOL POOL
DRAINAGE TO FINALLY DISSIPATE THE RESIDUAL WEDGE AIR MASS BY FRIDAY.
BUT MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN HIGH WITH THE GFS SHOWING
PRECIPITABLE WATER STILL WELL ABOVE 2.2 INCHES AND WITH DEEP
MOISTURE NOTED ON THE ECMWF. WILL GO WITH 40-50% CHANCES WITH
CONTINUED HIGH CLOUD COVER. WITH STEADILY RISING LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES...TEMPERATURES SHOULD START TO APPROACH NORMALS ONCE
AGAIN...81-85 FOR HIGHS. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...

UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED
STATES INTO SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE WEAKENING AND EDGING INTO THE
ATLANTIC MONDAY. WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SMALL AND MAINLY
CONFINED TO AFTERNOON AND EVENING DURING THE ABOVE PERIOD. MODELS
IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY... AND HAVE INTRODUCED
LOW CHANCE POPS FOR TUESDAY.

AFTERNOON HIGHS 87 TO 92 FOR THE WEEKEND BEFORE FALLING TO MID 80S
MONDAY AND LOWER 80S TUESDAY. MORNING LOWS MOSTLY 65 TO 70.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...

SCATTERED SHOWERS MAINLY NEAR AND EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE...WITH
PREFRONTAL SHOWERS IN THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT HAVE POTENTIAL TO
IMPACT ALL TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WITH SOME SEVERE DOWNBURST WIND POTENTIAL. THE AIR
MASS CONTINUES UNSTABLE OVERNIGHT...BUT WITH LITTLE FORCING BELOW
15000 FEET. HOWEVER JET CROSSING TO OUR NORTH OVERNIGHT WILL PRODUCE
DECENT DIVERGENCE AT LEAST INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WEDNESDAY.
HAVE SHOWN LITTLE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AROUND AND AFTER MIDNIGHT..
BUT MAY BE REDUCING CONVECTION SLIGHTLY EARLY IN THE EAST.

EXPECT MOSTLY MVFR FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT. BACK DOOR FRONT AND DAMMING
AIR MASS ON THE VIRGINIA BORDER NEAR SUNRISE...DROPPING SOUTH DURING
THE MORNING HOURS...THOUGH PERHAPS NORTH OF FAYETTEVILLE THROUGH THE
TAF PERIOD. AS THE DAMMING AREA EXPANDS...EXPECT A NORTHEAST
BREEZE...IFR CEILINGS WITH MVFR RAIN A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNRISE...
PERSISTING INTO THE AFTERNOON.

DAMMING AIR MASS CONTINUES INTO THURSDAY EVENING...THOUGH THE
DAMMING AIR MASS BEGINS TO MODIFY THURSDAY... WITH CEILINGS LIFTING
TO MVFR BEFORE NOON AND VFR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MAINLY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AND MORE
ISOLATED SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SOME FOG OR STRATUS POSSIBLE AROUND AND
BEFORE SUNRISE EACH MORNING.
