AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
230 PM EDT MON APR 21 2008

.SYNOPSIS...

AN UPPER LOW WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST AND OFF THE NC COAST TONIGHT.
MOIST EASTERLY FLOW OFF OF THE ATLANTIC WILL PERSIST OVER OUR AREA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THEN DEEP LAYER RIDGING AND DRIER
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1200 PM MONDAY...

SFC ANALYSIS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A BAGGY...ELONGATED SFC LOW
ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST. DEWPOINTS ACROSS CENTRAL NC RANGED FROM
THE UPPER 40S TO MID 50S. ALOFT...12Z RAOB ANALYSIS SHOWED AN
IMPRESSIVE UPPER LOW CENTERED DIRECTLY OVER CENTRAL NC. THE FREEZING
LEVEL OFF OF THE 12Z GSO SOUNDING WAS AROUND 6 KFT...WITH A SLIGHTLY
LOWER WBZ.

TODAY:
SENSIBLE WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WILL BE DRIVEN BY THE
IMPRESSIVE UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER CENTRAL NC. LOOKING AT THE PRECIP
DISTRIBUTION RELATIVE TO THE UPPER LOW YESTERDAY...EXPECT THE BEST
CHANCE FOR PRECIP TO BE ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW...OR
ALONG/EAST OF INTERSTATE 95. HOWEVER...CONVECTIVE BANDS THAT FORM IN
THE COASTAL PLAIN AND ALONG THE COAST WILL LIKELY WRAP CYCLONICALLY
AROUND THE UPPER LOW BACK INTO CENTRAL NC FROM THE NORTH.
THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST SHOWING THE BEST
POPS IN THE EAST/NE COASTAL PLAIN...WITH AT LEAST MID-CHANCE (40%)
POPS ELSEWHERE TO ACCOUNT FOR PRECIP WRAPPING AROUND THE UPPER LOW
BACK INTO THE AREA AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED DIURNAL
CONVECTION DEVELOPING UNDERNEATH THE LOW IN ASSOC/W STEEP MID-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES / COLD TEMPS ALOFT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY VARY
QUITE A BIT...FROM A TENTH TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH OR LESS IN
GENERAL...TO ISOLATED AMOUNTS GREATER THAN AN INCH IN ASSOC/W ANY
HEAVY CONVECTION AND/OR TRAINING CELLS...ALTHOUGH THE BEST CHANCE
FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL LIKELY REMAIN OVER FAR NORTHEAST NC (IN VICINITY
OF THE ALBEMARLE SOUND) AND SOUTHEAST VA.

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DAY 1 SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK HAS EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA OUTLINED IN A SEE TEXT. WITH STEEP LAPSE
RATES AND COLD TEMPS ALOFT IN ASSOC/W THE CLOSED UPPER LOW...IN
ADDITION TO SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 50S AND ENOUGH SFC HEATING TO
RAISE TEMPS INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S...EXPECT A THREAT FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE WITH A PRIMARY THREAT
OF LARGE HAIL. BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE IN THE
SOUTHEAST COASTAL PLAIN...AND IN/NEAR LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE MORE
SUNSHINE THAN CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET.

TEMPERATURE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON IS TOUGH...AND WILL PRIMARILY
DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE AVAILABLE AND WHERE RAINFALL
OCCURS. WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER/MID 50S...LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE
RAINFALL WILL LIKELY WETBULB INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S. HIGH TEMPS ARE
GENERALLY EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S WHERE MORE CLOUD
COVER AND SHOWERS ARE PRESENT...TO THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70F IN
LOCATIONS WITH MORE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE.

TONIGHT:
WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST MOSTLY CLOUDY OR OVERCAST SKIES WITH A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL NC OVERNIGHT...WITH THE BEST
CHANCE IN NORTHERN AND NE PORTIONS OF THE AREA AS THE UPPER LOW
SINKS TO THE SOUTH/SE AND PRECIP CONTINUES TO WRAP CYCLONICALLY
AROUND THE SYSTEM INTO CENTRAL NC. LOW TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
FAIRLY HOMOGENEOUS IN THE LOWER/MID 50S. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1200 PM MONDAY...

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT:
THE UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO MOVE FURTHER OFFSHORE TO THE SOUTHEAST
DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...AND MUCH OF THE ASSOCIATED PRECIP WILL ALSO
MOVE OFFSHORE. HOWEVER...WITH CONTINUED EASTERLY FLOW OFF THE
ATLANTIC...WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS IS EXPECTED DURING THE DAY
TUESDAY...AND SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AS PRECIPITATION
WRAPS CYCLONICALLY AROUND THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW
INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP CHANCE
POPS IN THE EAST...TAPERING BACK TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE WEST.
WITH WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND THICKNESSES SIMILAR TO TODAY...HIGH
TEMPS ON TUESDAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 60S
ACROSS CENTRAL NC. WITH MOIST NORTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW...EXPECT
OVERCAST LOW STRATUS DEVELOPING AFTER SUNSET TUESDAY EVENING AND
PERSISTING UNTIL AT LEAST SUNRISE WED MORNING. WITH SATURATION
CONFINED TO THE VERY LOWEST LEVELS...DO NOT EXPECT MORE THAN
ISOLATED PATCHES OF DRIZZLE...PRIMARILY IN NORTHEAST AREAS. LOW
TEMPS SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO TONIGHT...IN THE LOWER/MID 50S. -VINCENT

AS OF 130 PM MONDAY...

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT: THIS PERIOD WILL BE A TRANSITION TO
MUCH DRIER DEEP LAYER MOISTURE... AS THE MOIST EASTERLY FLOW ON THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE EXITING DEEP LAYER LOW FINALLY MOVES
OFFSHORE. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO GENERATE VERY LIGHT QPF OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY... WHICH APPEARS TO BE IN
RESPONSE TO A VERY WEAK MID LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMA ROTATING AROUND
THE NW SIDE OF THE DEPARTING UPPER LOW AND RESIDUAL ENE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE TRANSPORT... IN A PLUME OF DEPARTING 1 TO 1.25 INCH
PRECIPITABLE WATERS. WHILE A LACK OF ANY DISCERNIBLE SURFACE TRIGGER
SHOULD PRECLUDE SHOWER DEVELOPMENT WITHIN OUR CWA... ANY SHOWERS
THAT DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST (WITH A POSSIBLE SFC TRIGGER BEING
FRICTIONAL CONVERGENCE) WOULD MOVE SOUTHWESTWARD AND POTENTIALLY
CLIP OUR SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN COUNTIES. WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
BELOW 6 C/KM SHOULD LIMIT COVERAGE AND INTENSITY HOWEVER. WILL
ACCORDINGLY INTRODUCE JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER ROUGHLY ALONG
AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM GOLDSBORO TO FAYETTEVILLE TO ACCOUNT
FOR THIS POSSIBILITY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WITH A SMATTERING OF CUMULUS
IN THE RESIDUALLY MOIST MARITIME FLOW REBOUND INTO THE 70 TO 75
DEGREE RANGE. THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL SETTLE OVER NC
AND VA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND RESULT IN CLEAR SKIES WITH LOWS 50
TO 55. EXPECT SOME FOG TO DEVELOP BY SUNRISE THURSDAY... POSSIBLY
DENSE IN THE COASTAL PLAIN... GIVEN SFC DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE LOWER
TO MIDDLE 50S FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.  -MWS

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM MONDAY...

THIS PERIOD WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY AN AMPLIFYING RIDGE ALOFT AND
RESULTANT SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH
FRIDAY. THE ONE FLY IN THE OINTMENT WILL BE A MID LEVEL TROUGH
CURRENTLY OVER THE ROCKIES... WHICH IS FORECAST TO ROUND THE MEAN
RIDGE DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK... AND AMPLIFY SOUTHEASTWARD
TOWARD BERMUDA ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. SUCH A
SOLUTION WOULD PROPEL A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT SOUTHWESTWARD DOWN THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT AND PERHAPS INTO EASTERN
NC AND VA ON FRIDAY. HIGHS BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITHIN A COUPLE
DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF 80... SLIGHTLY WARMER FRIDAY WHEN LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES ARE FORECAST TO NEAR 1400 METERS OVER THE SOUTHERN AND
WESTERN PIEDMONT. THE EXCEPTION MAY BE THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN...
WHERE THE PROXIMITY OF THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT MAY RESULT IN HIGHS A
COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER THAN THOSE OF THURSDAY. LOWS IN THE MID
50S.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY: A BREAKDOWN OF THE EASTERN CONUS RIDGE IS
EXPECTED DURING THIS PERIOD... AS A PROGRESSIVE LONGWAVE TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE SPEED AND AMPLITUDE OF THE APPROACHING
TROUGH ALOFT AND ATTENDANT SURFACE COLD FRONT ARE VERY MUCH IN
QUESTION GIVEN LARGE OPERATIONAL AND ENSEMBLE MODEL SPREAD... SO
WILL LEAN TOWARD THE HPC SOLUTION (A 50/50 BLEND OF THE 00Z/21ST
ECMWF/NCEP MEAN). THAT SOLUTION WOULD BRING THE APPROACHING FRONT
AND ASSOCIATED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE
MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS SATURDAY NIGHT AND CENTRAL NC ON SUNDAY.
ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIGGING DOWN THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE
DEVELOPING MEAN EASTERN TROUGH COULD SPELL ANOTHER PERIOD OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS ON MONDAY. HOWEVER... THE 00Z/21ST OPERATIONAL GFS AND
ECMWF DEPICTIONS OF A DEEP CLOSED LOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND
OHIO VALLEY... RESPECTIVELY... HAVE LITTLE SUPPORT FROM THE NAEFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN... AND ARE BOTH ACCORDINGLY DISCOUNTED AT THIS TIME.
PREFER A SOLUTION OF A LOWER AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE PROGRESSING THROUGH
A BROAD EASTERN CONUS TROUGH... GIVEN ONLY MODEST AMPLIFICATION OF
UPSTREAM RIDGING OVER WESTERN NOAM. WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST FOR
MONDAY GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY. TEMPERATURES 4 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE THE
30 YEAR AVG AHEAD OF THE FRONT SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...
COOLING TO WITHIN A FEW DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF AVG SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY.  -MWS

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 1200 PM MONDAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WILL DROP SOUTH
SOUTHEAST AND REACH ATLANTIC WATERS BY THIS EVENING. EXPECT THE
HEAVIEST SHOWER ACTIVITY TO BE LOCATED PRIMARILY ALONG/EAST OF
INTERSTATE 95...HOWEVER...SOME PRECIP WILL LIKELY WRAP CYCLONICALLY
AROUND THE UPPER LOW BACK INTO NORTHERN NC BY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
AN ADDITIONAL CHANCE OF ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA GIVEN STEEP LAPSE RATES / COLD TEMPS ALOFT IN ASSOC/W
THE UPPER LOW. THIS WILL MAKE FOR VARIABLE AVIATION CONDITIONS THIS
AFTERNOON...RANGING FROM IFR IN SHOWER ACTIVITY AND LOW CEILINGS TO
MVFR/VFR IN LOCATIONS WITH MORE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND WARMER TEMPS.
EXPECT IFR (POSSIBLY LIFR) CEILINGS TO DEVELOP AFTER SUNSET THIS
EVENING AS TEMPS DROP INTO THE LOWER/MID 50S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
SAME RANGE.

MORE MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS IN STRATUS AND FOG ARE POSSIBLE AROUND
DAYBREAK TUESDAY AND IN SCATTERED SHOWERS OR AREAS OF RAIN DURING
THE DAY TUESDAY. IFR AND LIFR CEILINGS IN LOW STRATUS ARE LIKELY
AGAIN ON TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A COOL/MOIST NORTHEAST FLOW.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES
FARTHER OFF THE COAST BY WEDNESDAY AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. -VINCENT
