Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 7:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
730 PM EDT MON JUN 23 2008

.SYNOPSIS...

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE DISCONTINUED FOR CENTRAL NC AS
OF 730 PM...

A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT.
THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST INTO CENTRAL NC LATE
TONIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE TUESDAY MORNING... AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. A DRY AND HOT
PERIOD IS EXPECTED MID TO LATE WEEK.
&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...

AS OF 730 PM MONDAY... THE THUNDERSTORMS WERE ON THE WANE OVER OUR
REGION. ONLY WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDER CONTINUE NEAR
RDU AS OF 730 PM. WITH PLENTY OF CIRRUS BLOWOFF OVERHEAD... AND MANY
AREAS OF THE REGION NOW MORE STABLE WITH THE PASSAGE OF OUTFLOWS...
WE WILL GO AHEAD AND CANCEL THE CURRENT WATCH. LIMITED INSTABILITY
CONTINUES OVER AND NE OF RDU... WHERE SOME SCATTERED ACTIVITY MAY
CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS.

THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT WAS STILL BACK OVER WVA. THE LINE OF
CONVECTION ASSOCIATE WITH THIS MAY THREATEN THE NW ZONES TOWARD 11
PM... BUT IT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS.
&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 325 PM MONDAY...

L/W TROUGH LIFTS NE TUE. RISING MID/UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS AND
ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE WILL DRY OUT AND STABILIZE ATMOSPHERE
TUESDAY-TUESDAY NIGHT. WESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW...ABUNDANT SUN AND
LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES IN THE 1410S SUGGEST MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER
80S/AROUND 90.

FOR WED/THU...MID AND UPPER AIR PATTERN SIGNAL POTENTIAL FOR HOT
TEMPS ACROSS THE REGION. THE W-E ORIENTATION AND STRENGTH OF THE H7
AND H5 RIDGE AND THE POSITION OF THE 250MB ANTI CYCLONE NEAR OR WEST
OF THE REGION ARE STRONG INDICATORS FOR MUCH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS.
FORTUNATELY...850MB TEMPS HOVER IN THE 16-18 DEG C RANGE WED...THEN
WARM TO NEAR 20 DEG C THU. BASED ON THIS AND THICKNESSES IN THE
1420S WED...AND 1430-1435 THU...WILL LEAN FORECAST MAX TEMPS TO
LOW/MID 90S WED....AND SOLIDLY IN THE MID 90S (POSSIBLY UPPER 90S)
THU. DEW POINTS EACH AFTERNOON UNDERNEATH RIDGE SHOULD LOWER INTO THE
50S WED AND NEAR 60 THU.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 240 PM MONDAY...

LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER SE
U.S. WILL CAUSE HOT/MUGGY CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL NC FRI INTO
SAT. EXPECT TO SEE A MODEST INCREASE IN AFTERNOON CONVECTION FRI
INTO SATURDAY AS SLY FLOW ON TH BACK SIDE OF THE BERMUDA HIGH
PULLS TROPICAL AIR MASS INTO THE REGION.

FRO SUN INTO MON...DETERMINISTIC MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST SOME AMPLIFICATION OF L/W TROUGH OVER THE
EASTERN U.S. HOWEVER, THE EXPECTED TIMING DIFFERENCES AND DEGREE
AMPLIFICATION EXIST. WITH TROPICAL AIR MASS IN PLACE AND
POTENTIAL FOR LOWERING HEIGHTS OVER THE FORECAST AREA
SUNDAY...SHOULD SEE A BIT MORE COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON/EVENING
CONVECTION. WENT WITH CHANCE POPS FOR NOW AS THERE IS PLENTY OF
TIME TO FINE TUNE. MODEL SOLUTIONS PAINT DRIER AIR MASS OVERHEAD
MON AS L/W TROUGH EDGES EAST. THIS IS LIKELY PREMATURE WITH
POTENTIAL FOR MORE AFTERNOON CONVECTION. HOWEVER WE RE TALKING
BOUT DAY 7 SO WILL KEEP POPS AOB 20%.

MAX TEMPS WILL RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES BY SUN/MON DUE TO
PRESENCE OF TROUGH ALOFT. BEFORE THEN....MAX TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO
AVERAGE SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

AS OF 725 PM MONDAY...

SCATTERED CONVECTION TO ONLY AFFECT THE KRDU AREA THROUGH AROUND
01Z/THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE... IT APPEARS UNFAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION. THE COLD FRONT TO THE NW (NOW PUSHING SE ACROSS WVA INTO
SW VA) WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY MAKE IT
INTO THE KINT/KGSO AREA AFTER 03Z/THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE... VFR
CONDITIONS NOW EXPECTED.

LOOKING AHEAD... THE SURFACE FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE LATE
TONIGHT... WITH THE AXIS OF THE LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH TO MOVE EAST
OF CENTRAL NC TUESDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO EXPAND OVER THE
EASTERN CONUS AND PROVIDE FOR MOSTLY CLEAR VFR CONDITIONS TUE
THROUGH THROUGH LATE WEEK. -BADGETT
