Area forecast discussion, May 7, 3:40 PM EDT, 3 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 340 PM EDT THU MAY 7 2009 .SYNOPSIS... A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS COUPLED WITH A SURFACE TROUGH IN THE VICINITY WILL TRIGGER SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 235 PM THURSDAY... AIR MASS CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE AS MIXED LAYER CAPE AT 17Z AROUND 1500 J/KG AND SURFACE BASED LIFTED INDICES AROUND MINUS 5/MINUS 6 AND LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES APPROACHING 8 DEG C/KM. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR 35-40KTS NOT SHABBY WITH WIND PROFILE FAIRLY UNIDIRECTIONAL. THESE PARAMETERS SUGGEST THAT CELLS SHOULD EVENTUALLY INTO BROKEN LINE. DAMAGING DOWNBURSTS AND LARGE HAIL APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER FACTORS AS O-1KM HELICITY LESS THAN 100 M2/SEC2 AND LCL HEIGHTS GENERALLY AT OR ABOVE 1000M. AT 1820Z...ALREADY SEEING ISOLATED CELLS DEVELOP ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AND ON A NARROW ZONE OF SURFACE CONFLUENCE FROM LAURINBURG TO GOLDSBORO TO WILSON. EXPECT THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER 20-21Z AS MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE LOWER OH-TN VALLEY ADVANCES EAST. WHILE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION WILL DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING...MAY SEE SCATTERED CONVECTION PERSIST UP TO 04Z IN THE EAST AS THIS REGION WILL BE IN THE FAVORABLE LEFT EXIT REGION OF 300MB JET OVER THE TN VALLEY. FOR NOW...WILL GO WITH A SOLID CHANCE POP LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POP IN THE EAST BY 04Z. SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR IN WAKE OF CONVECTION. MOIST LOW LEVEL AIR MASS SHOULD ALLOW POCKETS OF FOG AND/OR STRATUS TO DEVELOP BY DAYBREAK. MINS TONIGHT MAINLY IN THE MID 60S. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/... AS OF 240 PM THURSDAY... FRIDAY...CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN ON PLACE BUT FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ASIDE FROM INSOLATION WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY OR AFTER SUNSET. EXPECT SCATTERED CONVECTION TO FIRE WITH A FEW STORMS BRIEFLY SEVERE LATE IN THE DAY. STEADY SW FLOW AND DECENT INSOLATION WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE EARLY SUMMER. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES TOP OUT NEAR 1410M. PREVIOUS FORECAST OF MID/UPPER 80S LOOKS ON TARGET. && .LONG TERM TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 340 PM THURSDAY... WARM SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WILL RESULT IN CONTINUATION OF UNSETTLED WEATHER SATURDAY AS WE REMAIN IN WARM SECTOR... WITH BOUNDARY ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA/VIRGINIA BORDER. LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE 60S. HIGHS SATURDAY WILL BE IN THE 80S WITH LOWER 90S ACROSS THE SOUTH AND EAST. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON/SATURDAY EVENING... LINGERING SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH EARLY MONDAY. UPPER LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW OVERRUNNING THE NORTHEAST SURFACE COULD ENHANCE PRECIPITATION ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA. ALSO THE WESTERLY FLOW WILL AID IN PUSHING THE MERCURY UPWARDS. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE 60S... DROPPING INTO THE 50S SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE 70S NORTH TO LOWER 80S SOUTH... COOLING TO THE 70S MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST MONDAY EVENING... AND REMAIN ENTRENCHED ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. AS THE HIGH MOVES EAST AND SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY... MOISTURE WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH. HIGHS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE 70S... EXCEPT FOR SOME LOWER 80S ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST ON THURSDAY. LOWS WILL BE IN THE 50S TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. && .AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 103 PM THURSDAY... A MOIST AND CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR DUE TO SCATTERED CONVECTION AND EARLY MORNING FOG AND/OR STRATUS. THROUGH 03Z FRI...A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL EDGE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NC. AIR MASS AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE DUE TO STRONG HEATING. EXPECT TO SEE SCATTERED CONVECTION TO POP OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT BETWEEN 20-22Z WITH CONVECTION POSSIBLY FORMING INTO A BROKEN LINE BY 22Z. THIS LINE OF CONVECTION SHOULD PROGRESS EAST INTO THE SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN BY 00Z. WITH LOSS OF HEATING...SHOULD SEE CONVECTION DIMINISH DISSIPATE BY 04Z. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR AFTER 04Z. COOLING OF MOIST AIR MASS NEAR THE SURFACE SHOULD RESULT IN FORMATION OF WIDESPREAD FOG AND/OR STRATUS BY DAYBREAK FRIDAY. FOG/STRATUS SHOULD BURN OFF BY 13Z FRIDAY. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MOST OF FRIDAY. EXPECT ANY CONVECTION FRIDAY TO HOLD OFF UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY (AFTER 21Z). MAY SEE CONVECTION PERSIST A BIT LONGER FRIDAY NIGHT AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES REGION. THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
