AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
340 PM EDT WED MAY 6 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL BRING CAUSE SEVERAL ROUNDS
OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM WEDNESDAY...

AIR MASS HAS BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE AS HEATING OF MOIST AIR MASS
HAS RESULTED IN SURFACE LIFTED INDICES IN THE MINUS 4 THROUGH MINUS
6 OVER ALL BUT THE EXTREME NW PIEDMONT. SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS LIFTED
NORTH OF THE TRIAD AS DEWPOINTS THERE HAVE JUMPED INTO THE MID 60S
AND WINDS VEERED TO A SLY DIRECTION. APPROACH OF MCV CURRENTLY OVER
NORTHERN GA WILL INCREASE THE MID LEVEL BULK SHEAR BY 20-21Z ACROSS
THE REGION. CURRENT RANDOM NATURE OF CELLS SHOULD BECOME BETTER
ORGANIZED SHORTLY OVER THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PIEDMONT WITH
APPROACH OF MCV. TORNADIC THREAT APPEARS TO BE GREATEST NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 64...MORE SO NEAR THE VA BORDER AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE
TRIAD.

NEAR TERM MODELS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME CONCERNING PLACEMENT/TIMING
OF OTHER MCV APPROACHING FROM THE WEST-SW. MODELS TOO FAR NORTH WITH
ACTIVITY NOW OCCURRING ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. STILL...APPEARS THAT
LOW LEVEL CONFLUENCE WILL INCREASE AFTER 00Z. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
NOT IMPRESSIVE BUT OVERNIGHT SURFACE BASED CAPES PROGGED TO REMAIN
BETWEEN 500-1000J/KG OVER THE PIEDMONT. MAY SEE 0-3KM BULK SHEAR
RECOVER AFTER 06Z TO 35-40KTS. THUS...MAY SEE CONVECTION WANE/WEAKEN
AFTER 00Z...THEN REDEVELOPMENT LATE TONIGHT/AFTER MIDNIGHT IN THE
WEST AND PROGRESS EAST DURING THE OVERNIGHT. SINCE SOME PARAMETERS
FAVOR SEVERE AND OTHERS RATHER WEAK...NOT ANTICIPATING A WIDESPREAD
SEVERE EVENT BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A SEVERE STORM OR TWO ACROSS THE
REGION AFTER 06Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY/...
AS OF 310 PM WEDNESDAY...

EXPECT ONGOING CONVECTION EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 TO EXIT REGION AFTER
15Z. APPEARS THAT AIR MASS WILL BE ABLE TO RECOVER AND SUPPORT
SCATTERED STRONG CONVECTION AFTER 19Z OVER ALL BUT THE FAR NW.
EXPECT CLOUDS EARLY THU TO SCATTERED OUT BY LATE MORNING...ENABLING
TEMPS TO SOAR TO NEAR 80/LOWER 80S BY EARLY AFTERNOON. WHILE LOW
LEVEL AIRMASS WILL BE QUITE UNSTABLE...WIND FIELD ALOFT AND MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES SUGGEST THAT SEVERE STORMS SHOULD BE FEW IN NUMBER
AND CONSISTENT OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 340 PM WEDNESDAY...

A SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVING EAST THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WILL TAKE THE CHANCE FOR
RAIN WITH IT. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.
HIGHS FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE 80S.

THE BREAK IN THE RAIN WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL
TAKE OVER IN RESPONSE TO A SERIES OF SURFACE WAVES IN CONJUNCTION
WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. PWAT VALUES THROUGH THIS PERIOD
WILL BE IN EXCESS OF ONE INCH. LOWS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT WILL
BE IN THE 60S... COOLING TO THE 50S FOR THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK.
HIGHS SATURDAY IN THE 80S WILL DROP TO THE 70S BY MONDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA FROM THE
NORTHWEST TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGHS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL
BE IN THE 70S. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1158 AM WEDNESDAY...

AREA OF LIFR/IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY NORTH OF A STALLED SURFACE
BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY LIFT/IMPROVE AS INSOLATION HEATS AIRMASS.
ELSEWHERE...MVFR/VFR CEILINGS EXPECTED THROUGH 02Z WITH BASES
VARYING BETWEEN 2500-4000FT. AFTERNOON HEATING WILL INITIALLY
TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS...MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN COUNTIES WHERE HEATING HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 10 AM.
SHOWERS AND STORMS EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AFTER 21Z. MAY
SEE CONVECTION WANE A BIT BY 00Z BUT EXPECTED TO REINVIGORATE  AFTER
03Z AS SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSES NEAR OUR AREA.
CLOUD BASES EXPECTED TO VARY WIDELY ACROSS REGION AFTER 00Z WITH
BASES AT OR ABOVE 3000FT IN THE SE AROUND KFAY AND KRWI TO NEAR OR
BELOW 1000FT AT KINT AND KGSO.
