AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1051 PM EDT THU AUG 19 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DRIFT SLOWLY SOUTHWARD THROUGH NORTH
CAROLINA TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH ON
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1050 PM THURSDAY...

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT TROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA AND UNTIL 4 AM ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...

MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
HAS TRIGGERED NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT AND WESTERN SAN HILLS... WHERE WE HAD THE
BEST SURFACE HEATING TODAY. GIVEN PWAT VALUES ARE STILL HOVERING
AROUND 2.5 INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTH AND FLOODING IS ON GOING HAVE
ELECTED TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 4 AM FOR THE
SOUTHERN PIEDMONT... SANDHILLS... AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. WE
HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL REPORTS OF FLASH FLOODING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THIS AREA. PLEASE REFER TO LOCAL STORM REPORTS FOR MORE DETAILS.

ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA (NORTHERN PIEDMONT AND
NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN) A WEAK LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY ORIENTED FROM
WSW TO ENE HAS ALLOWED SEVERAL SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP AND
TRACK ACROSS THE SAME AREA... GIVEN THE MEAN FLOW REMAINS OUT OF
THE WEST. HOWEVER... ACTIVITY IS ISOLATED AT BEST. THUS... WILL
ALLOW THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT ACROSS THESE
LOCATIONS.

NOT SURE IF THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT IS GOING MAKE IT INTO AND
THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. HOWEVER... AS THE DRIER AIR ALOFT OVERSPREADS
CENTRAL NC BEHIND THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO END. FOR NOW... WILL SHOW HIGHEST POPS
(CATEGORICAL) ACROSS THE SOUTH AND LOW END CHANCE ACROSS THE NORTH
THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THEREAFTER... WILL LOWER POPS IN A NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST FASHION... WITH ALL SITES RAIN FREE SHORTLY AFTER
DAYBREAK. NOTE SURE HOW MUCH CLEARING WE WILL SEE AS THE LOW LEVEL
AIR MASS WILL REMAIN QUITE MOIST. IF WE DO SEE A GOOD BIT OF
CLEARING WE MAY SEE SOME AREAS OF FOG (SOME POSSIBLY DENSE) ACROSS
THE SOUTH WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS FALLING AND HAS FALLEN. WILL
RAISE OVERNIGHT LOWS BY SEVERAL DEGREES INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S
AS WELL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM THURSDAY...

SHORT TERM MODEL IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN THEIR DEPICTION OF A
SURFACE-850MB BOUNDARY EXITING THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES AROUND
DAYBREAK FRIDAY. N-NORTHEAST FLOW BEHIND THE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY
WILL GRADUALLY USHER IN DRIER MORE STABLE AIR INTO THE REGION
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. POSITION/ORIENTATION OF THE SURFACE TO
850 MILLIBAR HIGH SHOULD KEEP STABLE AIR MASS OVERHEAD...LIMITING
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES IN THE 1425 TO 1430
METER RANGE UNDER FULL SUN TRANSLATE TO MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES IN
THE 90 TO 95 DEGREE RANGE. UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FRIDAY
NIGHT....EXPECT MINIMUM TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...GFS QUICKLY DIMINISHES/SCOOTS
EASTWARD THE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE...ALLOWING MOISTURE TO
RAPIDLY RETURN INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
MEANWHILE ...NAM-WRF/SREF/ECMWF/GEM HOLD ONTO THE MID/UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON THEN LOWER HEIGHTS ACROSS THE
REGION SATURDAY NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF A SHORT WAVE CROSSING THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES. SINCE GFS HAS A TENDENCY TO BREAKDOWN EAST
COAST RIDGES TOO QUICKLY...WILL FAVOR THE NAM/GEM/ECMWF SOLUTION
WITH A SLOWER MOISTURE RETURN. LINGERING RIDGE ALOFT SHOULD
MAINTAIN MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH CLOUD COVERAGE
(STILL LESS THAN 50 PERCENT) MORE PROMINENT WEST VERSUS EAST. LOW
LEVEL THICKNESSES CHANGE LITTLE FROM FRIDAY SO EXPECT COMPARABLE
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES.

RETURN FLOW SATURDAY NIGHT WILL HAVE A UPSLOPE COMPONENT. THIS
SHOULD CAUSE LOW STRATUS TO DEVELOP LATE SATURDAY NIGHT ALONG THE
FOOTHILLS THEN SPREAD EAST INTO THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. MOISTURE
APPEARS TOO SHALLOW TO GENERATE PRECIPITATION. MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES IN THE SOUTH AND WEST SHOULD BE A TAD WARMER THAN
FRIDAY NIGHT DUE TO DEVELOPMENT OF LOW CLOUDS.

SUNDAY...APPROACH OF MID LEVEL TROUGH AND INCREASING MOISTURE
ADVECTION SHOULD RESULT IN MORE CLOUD COVERAGE AND AN INCREASING
THREAT FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WEST SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. MORE CLOUDS IN THE WEST WILL LIMIT INSOLATION LEADING
TO MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES NOT AS HOT AS PREVIOUS DAYS. EXPECT SOME
PARTIAL SUN IN THE EAST TO WARM TEMPERATURES TO LEVELS AT OR ABOVE
90 DEGREES ONCE AGAIN. IF CLOUDS THICKER OR MORE WIDESPREAD THAN
FORECAST...MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES MAY END UP 2 TO 3 DEGREES COOLER.

OF NOTE...THE GFS MAINTAINS A MID LEVEL CIRCULATION THAT ONCE WAS
TROPICAL DEPRESSION FIVE (WHICH HAS BEEN HANGING AROUND THE DEEP
SOUTH FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS) AND TRAVERSES IT NORTHEAST INTO
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA SUNDAY. OTHER MODEL GUIDANCE WASHES OUT
THIS FEATURE OR HAS A SLOWER/WEAKER SOLUTION. THIS REMNANT
CIRCULATION WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AS
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE MAY ENHANCE CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. IF THE GFS IS ONTO
SOMETHING...THEN POPS WOULD NEED TO BE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM THURSDAY...

SOME DISAGREEMENT IN THE MODELS THIS PERIOD. FAIRLY STRONG UPPER
RIDGE WILL INITIALLY EXTEND SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST FROM THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST TO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THIS FEATURE WILL AID TO
DIG A L/W TROUGH FROM NEW ENGLAND SOUTHWARD TO THE CAROLINAS. THE
ATTENDANT SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL AID TO FOCUS MOISTURE AND
LIFT...LEADING TO A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
REGION SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.

MODEL DISCREPANCIES MORE EVIDENT TUESDAY AS ECMWF DEVELOPS A
CLOSED UPPER LOW IN VICINITY OF THE DELMARVA WHILE THE GFS AND
CANADIAN REMAIN PROGRESSIVE WITH THE UPPER TROUGH. THE ECMWF
SOLUTION WOULD MAINTAIN A CONFLUENT CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE
NORTHEAST SECTOR OF THE CWA RESULTING IN CHANCE POPS TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE GFS/CANADIAN SOLUTION WOULD RESULT IN DRIER
MORE STABLE AIR IN ANTICYCLONIC FLOW PATTERN...LIMITING POPS.
BASED ON RECENT HISTORY WITH THE ECMWF OUTPERFORMING THE
GFS...WILL LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF SOLUTION FOR NOW.
STILL...GREATEST THREAT FOR CONVECTION WILL BE SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE LEAD SURFACE BOUNDARY AND
UPPER SUPPORT.

REGARDLESS OF WHICH MODEL SOLUTION VERIFIES...MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL AVERAGE CLOSE TO
NORMAL. PER ECMWF...CLOUDS AND LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW WOULD
MAINTAIN A WEAK 850 MILLIBAR THERMAL TROUGH OVER THE REGION
THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. THIS TYPE OF PATTERN USUALLY RESULTS
IN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. GFS/CANADIAN
SUPPORT A LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW WHICH USUALLY RESULTS IN NEAR
NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 810 PM...

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS CLEARING THE AREAS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 64 AT
THIS TIME WITH A FEW WEAKENING SHOWERS LEFT OVER. TO THE SOUTH A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE HEAVY RAINS WITH REDUCED
VISIBILITIES AND BRIEF IFR CEILINGS. THESE STORMS WILL CLEAR FROM
WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING... EXITING AREAS JUST EAST OF
FAYETTEVILLE NEAR MIDNIGHT.

SOME FOG EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT... WITH LOW STRATUS MOST LIKELY
EAST AND SOUTH OF THE TRIAD (NORTHWEST PIEDMONT). STRATUS IS NOT
FORECAST TO PERSIST MUCH PAST SUNRISE... THEN VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD.

FAIR WEATHER WITH VFR CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL PERSIST
INTO SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE WEATHER ACROSS THE
REGION. SOME MORNING FOG OR STRATUS IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
ADVERSE AVIATION ARE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY AS THE NEXT APPROACHES
FROM THE NORTHWEST.
