AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
722 PM EDT WED JUL 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...

A SHEAR AXIS AND EMBEDDED IMPULSES ALOFT AND ATTENDANT SURFACE
TROUGH/FRONT WILL CROSS CENTRAL NC LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THE PRIMARY VORTEX OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL GRADUALLY FILL AND LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK... BEFORE THE TROUGH ALOFT
RELOADS ONCE AGAIN AS UPSTREAM ENERGY DIVES SOUTHEASTWARD LATER THIS
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1240 PM WEDNESDAY...

TEXT AND GRIDDED FORECASTS WERE SENT EARLIER THIS MORNING PRIOR TO A
SCHEDULED SERVICE BACKUP BY RNK - THANKS RNK.

FORECAST RATIONALE THROUGH TONIGHT REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED.
HOT... BECOMING BREEZY... WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LATER THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT.

EARLIER CONVECTION... WHICH INITIATED OVER THE TN VALLEY TUESDAY
NIGHT... SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTEDLY SURVIVED INTO THE WESTERN PIEDMONT OF
NC THIS MORNING... AND WAS SUPPORTED BY A PHASED SOUTHERN STREAM
UPPER JET AND POWERFUL LEAD S/W TROUGH CENTERED OVER IA TUESDAY
AFTERNOON... AND HAS SINCE DISSIPATED. MORNING RAOBS AT GSO
AND RNK INDICATE THE MID LEVEL COLD POOL ATTENDANT THE S/W WAS 1-2 C
COLDER THAN MODELED... AND THIS MAY HAVE MAINTAINED A MORE
SUPPORTIVE/UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE POORLY SIMULATED CONVECTION.

FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT: WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
DEPICTS THE PHASING OF THE FLOW ALOFT... COMPRISED OF A SOUTHERN
STREAM JET ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST STATES AND MID ATLANTIC
STATES WITH SEVERAL NORTHERN STREAM IMPULSES/WIND MAXIMA ALOFT
TRAILING FROM THE LEAD S/W TROUGH NOW OVER THE DELMARVA WEST AND
NW/RD THROUGH THE TN VALLEY AND UPPER MIDWEST. SUSPECT THE SOUTHERN
FRINGE OF THE FORCING FROM THE NORTHERN STREAM IMPULSES... COUPLED
WITH A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL WARM MOIST ADVECTION PLUME/LLJ CENTERED
JUST UPSTREAM OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS... WILL PROMOTE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF AT LEAST A FEW HIGH-BASED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE NC/VA PIEDMONTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THAT SAID...
COVERAGE MAY BE LIMITED BY UNSEASONABLY LOW SURFACE DEWPOINTS
GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 50S.

THUS... ANY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS CONDITIONAL UPON MOIST
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. IF DEVELOPMENT INDEED OCCURS... SOME DMGG
WIND GUSTS ARE LIKELY OWING TO 1) VERY STEEP LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES (DRY ADIABATIC AND ~7 C/KM... RESPECTIVELY)... 2) STRONG
SUB-CLOUD EVAPORATIVE COOLING PENITENTIAL WITH FORECAST SURFACE
DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS OF 30-40 DEGREES WITHIN THE DEEPLY MIXED
INVERTED-V/DRY ADIABATIC BOUNDARY LAYER... AND 3) THE PRESENCE OF A
BELT OF STRONG WESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW/SHEAR (~35-45 KTS) ON THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE GREAT LAKES VORTEX. IF STORMS ARE ABLE TO
CONGEAL INTO BROKEN LINES AND FORM WELL-DEVELOPED SB COLD POOLS... A
MORE WIDESPREAD WIND THREAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE. WHILE ANY HAIL THREAT
SHOULD BE MUTED BY RELATIVELY WEAK INSTABILITY... THE POTENTIAL FOR
SUPERCELLULAR STORM STRUCTURES IN THE PRESENCE OF THE STRONG SHEAR
WOULD PROMOTE RESULTANT PERTURBATION PRESSURE-DOMINATED UPDRAFTS
THAT WOULD INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF LARGE HAIL. CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY SHOULD DIMINISH AND SHIFT TOWARD THE COASTAL
PLAIN BY MIDNIGHT... AS THE BL COOLS AND STABILIZES AND THE PRIMARY
FORCING ALOFT SHIFTS OFFSHORE.

A BREEZY SW WIND... SUSTAINED 12 TO 18 MPH WITH GUSTS 20 TO
OCCASIONALLY 30 MPH... WILL GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN AND PEAK LATE
THIS AFTERNOON... AS THE AFOREMENTIONED UPSTREAM LLJ SPREADS INTO
THE NC PIEDMONT AND TURBULENTLY MIXES WITHIN THE DEEP MIXED LAYER.
HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM AROUND 90 NW TO UPPER 90S
IN THE SANDHILLS THIS AFTERNOON... WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS GENERALLY 65
TO AROUND 70 DEGREES SO.  -MWS

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...

THURSDAY: SOMEWHAT COOLER AND DRIER LOW LEVELS AND A WEAK CAP ALOFT
SHOULD LARGELY SUPPRESS ANY MOIST CONVECTION ON THURSDAY... DESPITE
THE PASSAGE OF ANOTHER IN A SERIES OF S/W TROUGHS/IMPULSES ALOFT.
THE NWP MODELS DO... HOWEVER... INDICATE WEAK AND SHALLOW CAPE
BETWEEN A SATURATED LAYER (~5-8 THSD FT) ATOP ANOTHER DEEPLY MIXED
BOUNDARY LAYER... AND THE AFOREMENTIONED CAPPING INVERSION BETWEEN
10 AND 12 THSD FT. THIS SUGGESTS SOME HIGH-BASED BUT SHALLOW
CONVECTION POSSIBLE -- SUPPORTED BY SPC AND NCEP HI RES WRF OUTPUT
-- WHICH WOULD LIKELY EVAPORATE BEFORE AMOUNTING TO ANYTHING MORE
THAN A NON-MEASURABLE SPRINKLE... IF THAT. PROJECTED LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES GENERALLY IN THE 1415 TO 1425 METER RANGE SUGGEST HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO MIDDLE 90S.  -MWS

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT: THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
GREAT LAKES EXTENDING DOWN INTO NC SHIFTS EAST LATE FRIDAY WITH THE
UPPER FLOW BECOMING MORE NW. THE NW FLOW IN THE LOW AND MID LEVELS
WILL HELP TO LOWER THICKNESSES AND HIGH TEMPS FRIDAY COMPARED TO
THURSDAY. THICKNESSES FRIDAY ARE FORECAST TO BE ABOUT 10 TO 15
METERS LOWER SUGGESTING A COOL DOWN OF 3 TO 5 DEGREES. AFTERNOON
HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S FRIDAY. A FEW HIGH CLOUDS MAY START TO
MOVE IN FROM THE NW LATE FRIDAY AS THE UPPER JET LOCATED WITH THE
RIDGE OF THE ROCKIES DIVES SOUTHEAST AND INTENSIFIES.

EXPECT A VARYING DEGREE OF MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY SATURDAY BUT SKIES WILL REMAIN PARTLY SUNNY AT LEAST FOR EARLY
SATURDAY. AFTER MORNING LOWS IN THE MID 60S AFTERNOON THICKNESSES
SUGGEST HIGHS WARMING BACK TO AROUND 90 TO THE LOWER 90S. CLOUD
COVER WILL BE ON THE INCREASE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE SPREADS
IN FROM THE WEST IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS BUT RISING HEIGHTS AND
ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF THE DEPARTING 500 MB TROUGH MAY
INITIALLY DIMINISH CLOUD COVERAGE SATURDAY MORNING TO AROUND NOON.
WITH THE REGION FALLING WITHIN THE RIGHT FRONT QUAD OF THE UPPER JET
SATURDAY AFTERNOON CONTINUED WEAK SUBSIDENCE WILL LIMIT ANY PRECIP
AND EXPECT MAINLY MID TO HIGH CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON. BOTH THE GFS
AND NAM TRACK A WEAK WAVE AT 500 MB IN THE NW FLOW ACROSS NC BUT THE
LACK OF MORE DYNAMICS AND INSTABILITY WILL LIMIT CHANCES FOR PRECIP
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND WILL TRIM BACK THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR
SATURDAY.  -JAO

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 1145 AM WEDNESDAY...

FOR SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT: A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS FROM
AFTERNOON INTO THE NIGHT STILL LOOKS GOOD AS MOIST OVERRUNNING
INCREASES SW TO NE OVER NC IN ASSOCIATION WITH A NORTHWARD MOVING
850 MB WARM FRONT. THE SURFACE FRONT (SOMEWHAT WEAK TO OUR SOUTH)
WILL ALSO HEAD SLOWLY TO THE NNE AS A WARM FRONT. THE GFS SHOWS A
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG THIS FRONT OVER CENTRAL NC LATE
SUNDAY... ALTHOUGH IT IS FRAUGHT WITH CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK THAT IS
UNLIKELY TO INITIATE AS MUCH FORCING AS THE GFS EXPLICITLY DEPICTS.
PREFER A LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF WHICH SPREADS PRECIP IN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND TRENDS IT OUT OF THE CWA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. BUT... IF THE GFS IS CORRECT ABOUT THE SURFACE
LOW... LOCALLY ENHANCED LOW LEVEL HELICITY COULD BRING A RISK OF A
SEVERE STORMS OR TWO GIVEN ENOUGH BUOYANCY (WHICH MAY BE LIMITED IF
CLOUD COVER IS ABUNDANT) AND/OR DYNAMIC LIFT FROM AN MCV... WHICH
SHOULD TRACK INTO OUR AREA FROM ANY UPSTREAM MCS BASED ON THE MEAN
CLOUD LAYER WINDS. WITH SKIES GENERALLY MOSTLY CLOUDY... EXPECT
BELOW NORMAL HIGHS OF 84-90 AND LOWS 65-70.

FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY: BEHIND THE PRECIP SUNDAY/SUNDAY
NIGHT... HIGH PRESSURE ATTEMPTS TO BUILD IN FROM THE NW PUSHING THE
SURFACE FRONT BACK SOUTH. THE ECMWF'S MID LEVEL VORTEX OVER THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES EARLY MONDAY SHIFTS EAST INTO MIDWEEK BUT
SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVING INTO THE MEAN EASTERN NOAM TROUGH FROM
HUDSON BAY WILL KEEP ANOMALOUSLY LOW HEIGHTS OVER EASTERN CANADA AND
THE NORTHEAST US... WITH BROAD TROUGHING AND NW MID LEVEL FLOW
PERSISTING OVER NC THROUGH MIDWEEK. AS THIS FLOW WILL BE NEARLY
PARALLEL TO THE SURFACE FRONT... TRYING TO PINPOINT THE FRONT'S
POSITION IN THE MEDIUM RANGE IS DIFFICULT... PARTICULARLY
CONSIDERING THE GFS SOLUTION BEGINS TO DEPART FROM THAT OF THE
ECMWF... WITH THE ECMWF MORE AMPLIFIED WITH ITS LONGWAVE PATTERN
OVER THE US THAN THE GFS. THE GFS ALSO BRINGS IN AN OVERBLOWN
VORTICITY MAXIMUM AND A SLUG OF HEAVY PRECIP LATE MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY... AND THIS PORTION OF THE GFS SOLUTION WILL BE SET ASIDE AS
SPURIOUS. IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL SEE ENOUGH TROUGHING OVER THE
MIDATLANTIC FOR A LARGELY DRY FORECAST WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPS...
ALTHOUGH WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN AFTERNOON STORM ON
WEDNESDAY WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING LOWERING HEIGHTS ALOFT AND
INCREASED AFTERNOON INSTABILITY. -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 722 PM WEDNESDAY...

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH AROUND 04Z-06Z...
ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE SURFACE TROUGH. THIS TROUGH WAS
LOCATED ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. THE CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM AT
ANY ONE SPOT THIS EVENING APPEARS TO BE LESS THAN 10 PERCENT. WE
WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY MENTION OF THUNDER IN THE TAFS.

OTHERWISE... VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 00Z/FRIDAY. THE
GUSTY SW-W WINDS WILL DIMINISH WITH SUNSET TONIGHT... BECOMING
LIGHT AT THAT TIME.

THE CURRENT WARM AND DRY PATTERN WILL GENERALLY PERSIST ACROSS
CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK ALLOWING FOR VFR CONDITIONS
TO CONTINUE.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AS OF 722 PM WEDNESDAY...

RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL SLOWLY RECOVER THIS EVENING AS THE
SW-W WINDS BECOME LIGHT. THE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT WILL BE
DISCONTINUED AS OF 800 PM. NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT OR THURSDAY.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
