AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1030 PM EDT FRI MAY 9 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A SURFACE TROUGH WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL NC
TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT OVER THE TN VALLEY THIS EVENING WILL
OVERTAKE THE TROUGH AND DRIFT SOUTHWARD THROUGH OUR REGION
ON SATURDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVERHEAD SATURDAY
NIGHT... IN ADVANCE OF A STRONG STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL BRING WIDESPREAD
RAIN AND SC TATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR AREA ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 900 PM FRIDAY...

TWO ROUNDS OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED INVOF HKY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING... ALONG AN AXIS OF SURFACE CONVERGENCE
WITHIN A LEE TROUGH... AND IN AN AIRMASS CHARACTERIZED BY MLCAPES
OF 500-1500 J/KG. ALOFT... SIGNIFICANT MID LEVEL COOLING OF SOME 5
DEGREES AT H5 IN THE PAST 12 HOURS HAS RESULTED IN MID LEVEL
(H7-5) LAPSE RATES AROUND 7.5 C/KM. CURIOUSLY... THE RNK AND GSO
SOUNDINGS DISPLAYED A RESIDUAL STOUT MID LEVEL CAPPING INVERSION
AT 00Z/10TH... BUT SUSPECT THE APPROACH OF A MID LEVEL JET AND
SERIES OF WEAK IMPULSES IN WNW FLOW ALOFT FROM THE TN VALLEY HAS
HELPED RECENTLY ERODE THE CAP AND RESULTED IN A THERMAL PROFILE
MORE SIMILAR TO THAT OBSERVED AT OHX (NASHVILLE). THE MID LEVEL
SPEED MAX AND ASSOCIATED STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW HAS ALSO
PROVIDED AMPLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR TO PROMOTE ROTATION AND EVEN SPLITTING
SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WITH THOSE STORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED. THE
WEAK MID LEVEL ROTATION COMBINED WITH THE LOW (9-10 K FT) WBZ
HEIGHTS HAVE PROVEN FAVORABLE FOR SEVERAL REPORTS EARLIER OF
LARGE HAIL IN NEIGHBORING GSPS CWA.

THE BEST FORCING AND SLIGHTLY DEEPER MID LEVEL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED MID LEVEL IMPULSES IS FORECAST TO SKIRT
OUR NORTHERN CWA... WHILE THE AXIS OF WEAKENING INSTABILITY LIES
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF. THUS... EXPECT THAT THE ISOLATED
CONVECTION IN THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT AND THOSE NORTH OF MOUNT AIRY
AND OVER EASTERN TN WILL SHOW A GRADUAL WEAKENING TREND DURING
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS... AS NOCTURNAL COOLING DIMINISHES THE
RESIDUAL INSTABILITY... AND THE DYNAMICS AND THERMODYNAMICS
RESULTANTLY BECOME LESS JUXTAPOSED. ACCORDINGLY... THE CURRENT
MENTION OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THROUGH 2 AM OR SO
SHOULD SUFFICE. HOWEVER... ANY ISOLATED STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP
WILL MAINTAIN A CONTINUED THREAT OF LARGE HAIL AND PERHAPS A DMGG
WIND GUST GIVEN THE AMBIENT DRY MID LEVELS AND ASSOCIATED DCAPES
NEAR 1000 J/KG.

LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD DIP INTO THE 57 TO 62 DEGREE RANGE FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH BY MORNING... AS WEAK NORTHERLY BEHIND A WEAK
SURFACE TROUGH NOW SETTLING TO AN EDENTON TO RALEIGH TO MOUNT AIRY
LINE ADVECTS SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO MAINLY THE
NORTHERN PIEDMONT OVERNIGHT. THERE MAY BE A FEW POCKETS OF PATCHY GROUND
FOG IN THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT AND SANDHILLS... WHERE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE POOLING WITHIN/SOUTH OF THE SURFACE TROUGH OCCURS AND
ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE(D) A SHOWER OR STORM.  -MWS

DAMAGE SURVEYS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED FOR THE FAMILY OF TORNADIC
SUPERCELLS THAT AFFECTED THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT OF NC THURSDAY
NIGHT. PLEASE SEE THE LATEST PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENTS FROM
WFO RAH FOR DETAILS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM FRIDAY...

SATURDAY: MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE STABLE WITH GOOD MIXING IN PLACE AND
THETA-E VALUES AT BOTH 700MB AND 850MB FALLING QUICKLY. SHOULD BE
A FEW WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 20KT BASED ON THE MIXING AND 925MB
WINDS INCREASING TO 15-25KT DURING THE AFTERNOON. THICKNESSES
WOULD SUPPORT TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S AFTER
OVERNIGHT LOWS...IN MOST PLACES...AROUND 60 DEGREES. -DJF

AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...

SAT NIGHT THROUGH SUN NIGHT: THE 12Z GFS/NAM MODEL RUNS HAVE COME
INTO GOOD AGREEMENT WITH EACH OTHER DURING THIS TIME
FRAME...SHOWING A STRONG UPPER LOW DIGGING FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC BY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT.
WIDESPREAD RAIN IS EXPECTED ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL NC DURING THE
DAY SUNDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS SYSTEM...WITH A WIDESPREAD
HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS A GOOD
BET.

A WEAK N/S ELONGATED SURFACE HIGH IS PROGGED TO INITIALLY BE OVER
THE MID-ATLANTIC (INCLUDING NORTH CAROLINA) SAT NIGHT AND SUN
MORNING... AND THE EXACT LOCATION/STRENGTH OF THIS FEATURE ALONG
WITH THE TIMING OF THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA WILL
LIKELY BE THE KEY TO THE TEMPERATURE AND SEVERE WEATHER FORECAST ON
SUNDAY. BOTH THE GFS/NAM SHOW THE INITIAL SFC LOW ASSOC/W THE UPPER
LOW MOVING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH A SECONDARY
LOW DEVELOPING SOMEWHERE ALONG THE SC/NC COAST. WITH DEWPOINTS
PROGGED TO BE IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S SUNDAY MORNING...BOTH THE
GFS/NAM SHOW AN IN-SITU CAD WEDGE DEVELOPING AFTER THE ONSET OF
PRECIPITATION SOMETIME AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE SUNDAY
MORNING AS STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT OVERSPREADS THE AREA. THE EXACT
LOCATION AND STRENGTH OF THIS WEDGE WILL ULTIMATELY HELP TO
DETERMINE THE TRACK OF THE SECONDARY SFC LOW THAT IS PROGGED TO
DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND WHERE THE SFC LOW TRACKS WILL
DETERMINE WHICH AREAS WILL HAVE THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.

BASED ON THE LATEST 12Z MODEL RUNS WHICH SHOW THE SECONDARY SFC LOW
DEVELOPING ALONG THE SC/NC COAST NEAR CAPE FEAR...IT NOW APPEARS
THAT THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER THREAT HAS SHIFTED FURTHER TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST...AND MOST OF CENTRAL NC (EXCEPT PERHAPS THE
SOUTHEAST COASTAL PLAIN) MAY DODGE THE BULLET W/REGARDS TO SEVERE
WEATHER. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE SHOWING A TYPICAL WEDGE-TYPE AIRMASS
ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...WITH LITTLE OR NO INSTABILITY OTHER THAN
ELEVATED. AGAIN...ALTHOUGH THE LATEST GFS/NAM MODEL RUNS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH A LOW TRACK ALONG THE COAST...A 50-100 MILE
DIFFERENCE IN THE LOW TRACK (FURTHER INLAND) WOULD RESULT IN A
CONSIDERABLE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT MOVING BACK INTO EAST/SOUTHEAST
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND WE WILL NEED TO WATCH HOW THIS
SITUATION EVOLVES VERY CLOSELY...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LATEST 12Z
ECMWF JUST CAME IN...AND SHOWS A MUCH MORE OMINOUS SEVERE WEATHER
SCENARIO THAN EITHER THE GFS/NAM. TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY ARE VERY
TRICKY AND WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SFC LOW AND
HOW MUCH IN-SITU DAMMING CURERS. AT THIS TIME...HIGH TEMPS RANGING
FROM THE LOWER 60S (NORTH/NORTHWEST) TO LOWER 70S (SOUTHEAST) LOOK
REASONABLE. WILL UP POPS TO CATEGORICAL DURING THE DAY SUNDAY ACROSS
THE AREA...TAPERING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE
SFC LOW BEGINS TO MOVE NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA.

MONDAY:
CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT MONDAY WILL BE BREEZY WITH 30 KNOT NW
FLOW PROGGED IN THE MIXED LAYER IN THE WAKE OF THE SLOWLY DEPARTING
SFC LOW. SHOULD SEE DECREASING CLOUDS ACROSS WEST/SOUTHWEST PARTS OF
THE AREA...WITH SOME CLOUD COVER HANGING AROUND IN FAR EAST/NE
PORTIONS OF THE AREA WHERE MOISTURE MAY BE ABLE TO WRAP BACK AROUND
INTO THE AREA ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SFC LOW. HIGH TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S LOOK REASONABLE BASED ON MOS GUIDANCE AND
THICKNESSES. WITH PRETTY DECENT NORTHWEST FLOW DURING THE DAY
MONDAY...DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY PLUMMET WELL BELOW MOS GUIDANCE...AND
MINIMUM RHS ARE PROGGED TO BE IN THE 25-30 PERCENT RANGE DURING THE
AFTERNOON...PRIMARILY IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. THIS MAY CREATE
HAZARDOUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON MONDAY AFTERNOON...DEPENDING ON
THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL THE AREA RECEIVES ON SUNDAY. -VINCENT

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS PROGGED TO BUILD OVER THE AREA BEHIND THE
DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AND BENIGN
WEATHER WITH NEAR NORMAL HIGH TEMPS ARE EXPECTED ON THOSE DAYS. A
RETURN TO A STORMY PATTERN APPEARS ON TAP LATER IN THE WEEK WITH
BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF SHOWING HIGHLY AMPLIFIED MERIDIONAL FLOW OVER THE
EASTERN CONUS...AND WILL GO WITH HPC POPS SHOWING A LOW CHANCE OF
SHOWERS/STORMS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. -VINCENT

&&

.AVIATION /02Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 725 PM FRIDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS AS A RULE ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE 00Z VALID TAF
PERIOD.  LOCAL MVFR CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT IN AN ISOLATED
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AS THE MID-LEVEL CAP ERODES AND SUPPORTED BY
SURFACE-BASED AND EVENTUALLY ELEVATED INSTABILITY.  LOCAL MVFR FOG
ESPECIALLY TOWARD KFAY AND KRWI MAY ALSO OCCUR LATE TONIGHT IN THE
MORE MOIST AIR AS WINDS BECOME FAIRLY LIGHT LATE.  WINDS WILL
INCREASE SATURDAY MORNING AS GOOD DIURNAL MIXING AND INCREASING
925MB WINDS SHOULD PROVIDE FOR GUSTS OF 15-20KT...HIGHER EAST...BY
18Z.

MVFR AND PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD DEVELOP SUNDAY IN
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS.  AS LOW PRESSURE
MOVES NORTH ALONG THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST MONDAY...VFR CONDITIONS
WILL RETURN BUT AVIATION INTERESTS SHOULD EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH FOR TUESDAY UNDER HIGH PRESSURE WITH VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED CURRENTLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

APPROACHES CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA FROM THE WEST. CURRENTLY...THE
BEST CHANCES FOR ANY SEVERE WEATHER ARE SOUTH OF U.S. 64. HOWEVER...
THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF LOW PRESSURE OVER AND NEAR THE STATE LATE IN
THE WEEKEND WILL DETERMINE THE AREAS OF HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR ANY
SEVERE WINDS OR HAIL...OR AN ISOLATED TORNADO.
