DJFWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 30, 8:34 AM EDT, 1 hour 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 30, 8:34 AM EDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
834 AM EDT THU SEP 30 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM INTO THE REGION
TODAY. THIS MOISTURE COMBINED WITH A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
MOVING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA WILL PRODUCE WIDESPREAD RAIN
MAINLY OVER EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA INTO TONIGHT. DRIER AND COOLER
AIR WILL ARRIVE FOR FRIDAY... AND WILL LAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 745 AM THURSDAY...
SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE CANCELED...
THROUGH TODAY:
STEADY MODERATE RAIN DROPPING A HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH
PER HOUR FOR SEVERAL HOURS HAS PRODUCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS
PARTICULARLY IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS... AND THE ONCE-LOW STREAMFLOWS
ACROSS THE AREA ARE RISING AT A RAPID RATE. LATEST SURFACE MAP SHOWS
THE SURFACE LOW MOVING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE WESTERN PIEDMONT SOUTH
OF BURLINGTON... AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE UP THROUGH CENTRAL NC
THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING. PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY OVER THE
ERN/NRN CWA REMAINS QUITE HIGH WITH AN LCL-TO-FREEZING LEVEL DEPTH
OVER 4 KM... AND BLENDED TPW IMAGERY SHOWS A PLUME OF 2.0-2.6"
STREAMING TOWARD ERN NC WITH STRONG FORCING ALOFT IN THE FORM OF
UPPER DIVERGENCE AND MID LEVEL DPVA. THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT REMAINS
HIGHEST OVER THE ERN/NRN CWA... AS THE DRY SLOT ALOFT HAS PUNCHED
INTO THE SOUTHWEST CWA. EXPECT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OF AT LEAST 1 TO
2 INCHES OVER THE ERN/NRN CWA. NOTE THAT THE RALEIGH 88D RADAR
(KRAX) IS PERFORMING QUITE WELL IN ITS PRECIP ESTIMATES SINCE
SWITCHING TO A TROPICAL Z-R RELATIONSHIP. CATEGORICAL POPS WILL BE
TRENDED DOWN FROM S TO N THROUGH 18Z AS THE DRY SLOT PROGRESSES UP
THROUGH CENTRAL NC.
THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES WILL ALSO PERSIST OVER THE ERN CWA FOR
ANOTHER FEW HOURS. INSTABILITY IS VERY LIMITED BU 0-1 KM SHEAR IS
OVER 40 KTS HERE. THE NAM SHOWS THIS PERSISTING OVER THE NORTH AND
EAST THROUGH 14Z WITH VGP OF 0.25-0.35 AND 0-1 KM SHEAR OVER 45 KTS
BACK THROUGH THE TRIANGLE. EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE TORNADO THREAT...
OBSERVED GUSTS OVER 50 KTS AT BUOY 41004 AND GEORGETOWN SC EARLIER
TONIGHT JUST AHEAD OF AND EAST OF THE LOW CENTER BRINGS A CONCERN
FOR A SURGE OF STRONG WIND GUSTS ALONG AND EAST OF THE LOW'S TRACK.
A FEW TREES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DOWN ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE WET
SOIL LEADING TO LOOSE ROOT SYSTEMS.
TEMPERATURES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TODAY WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BE WAY
OFF. SEE NO GOOD REASON TO ALTER CURRENT HIGHS SIGNIFICANTLY AND
WILL STICK WITH HIGHS AROUND 75-81.
FOR TONIGHT: THE NEXT CONCERN IS THE REMNANTS OF NICOLE... NOW
AFFECTING THE BAHAMAS. THE CLOSED MID LEVEL VORTEX NOW OVER NW GA
LIFTS UP THROUGH WRN NC LATE TODAY... DRAWING THE OLD NICOLE WIND
FIELD AND MOISTURE TO THE NORTH THROUGH ERN NC. THE 12 KM NAM... THE
ECMWF... AND THE CANADIAN ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT BRINGING THE CENTER
OVER THE NC SOUNDS TONIGHT AND SPREADING SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND
SHEARED MID LEVEL VORTICITY ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN TO BRING A
RETURN TO CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS MAINLY IN THE ERN CWA TONIGHT. THE
GFS APPEARS TO BE TOO ENTHUSIASTIC IN KICKING THIS CIRCULATION
EASTWARD AND HAS NO SUPPORT FROM THE OTHER OP MODELS... ALTHOUGH THE
GEFS MEAN KEEPS THE PRECIP EAST OF CENTRAL NC. GIVEN THAT THE MID
LEVEL LOW WILL RETAIN A SLIGHT NEGATIVE TILT LONG ENOUGH TO PULL THE
REMNANT NICOLE CIRCULATION A BIT WESTWARD... THIS RETURN TO POPS
TONIGHT (MAINLY EAST) IS FAVORED... BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH. LOW
58 WEST TO 66 EAST.
FOR FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT: DECREASING NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS ARE
ANTICIPATED IN THE WAKE OF THE EXITING CIRCULATION... WHICH GETS
KICKED RAPIDLY TO THE NNE BY THE OPENING AND LIFTING MID LEVEL
VORTEX. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST...
AND WHILE THICKNESSES DO DROP TO JUST UNDER NORMAL... THE REAL
REINFORCING COLD AIR WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL SATURDAY AND ESPECIALLY
SUNDAY AS TROUGHING DIGS THROUGH MI. A DRY AND VERY STABLE COLUMN
WILL ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. HAVE CUT BACK HIGHS A BIT TO
73-77... IN LINE WITH EXPECTED THICKNESSES. LOWS 49-55. -GIH
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM THURSDAY...
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY:
EASTERN U.S. LONG WAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO RELOAD DURING THIS
PERIOD AS THE NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIVES SOUTH AND EASTWARD OUT OF
THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES REGION AND INTO THE TN/OH VALLEY
BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AT THE SURFACE STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
(1030 TO 1035 MB) IS PROGGED TO BUILD/EXTEND INTO THE AREA FROM THE
NORTHWEST. THIS WILL YIELD MOSTLY SUNNY/CLEAR SKIES ON SATURDAY...
WITH CLOUDS INCREASING ON SUNDAY (STILL PARTLY SUNNY THOUGH) AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH ALOFT APPROACHES. LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES
EACH AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO RUN ABOUT 15 TO 25 METERS BELOW
NORMAL FOR EARLY OCTOBER. THIS WILL YIELD HIGH TEMPS ON SATURDAY IN
THE LOWER TO MID 70S... WITH UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S EXPECTED ON
SUNDAY AS SKIES ARE FORECAST TO BECOME PARTLY SUNNY. OVERNIGHT LOWS
ON SUNDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO BE QUITE CHILLY WITH A LIGHT
NORTHERLY WIND AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. THUS... EXPECT LOW TEMPS ON
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S IN A NW TO SE FASHION. WITH
REGARD TO PRECIP CHANCE... SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED
TO BE DRY... WITH SUNDAY GENERALLY DRY. THE TIMING AND AMPLIFICATION
OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH WILL DETERMINE THE WHETHER ANY POPS MAY
BE NEEDED FOR SUNDAY. HOWEVER... AT THIS TIME HPC STILL PREFERS THE
SLOWER BUT STRONGER ECMWF VS THE GFS (WITH REGARD TO THE TROUGH
ALOFT) AS THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO SHOW GOOD CONTINUITY FROM RUN TO
RUN AND HAS STRONG SUPPORT FROM THE GEM GLOBAL FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS. POPS MAY NEED TO BE ADDED FOR SUNDAY... AS THE LATEST ECMWF
HAS COME IN A BIT WETTER WITH A MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN. -BSD
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 320 AM THURSDAY...
THE PREFERRED ECMWF CONTINUES TO DEVELOP A CLOSED LOW ALOFT OVER THE
OH/TN VALLEY LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AND SLOWLY TRANSLATED
IT TO THE EAST... PLACING CENTRAL NC IN A FAVORED LOCATION FOR
UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION. MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE... A 1032 MB HIGH
IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND SOUTHWARD AND INTO OUR AREA THROUGH AT LEAST
MONDAY OR TUESDAY. THUS... THIS SETUP COULD (DEPENDING ON IF WE GET
ENOUGH RAIN) DEVELOP INTO A COLD AIR DAMMING EVENT FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK. HOWEVER... WITH THE GFS CONTINUING TO NOT CLOSE OFF THE TROUGH
ALOFT AND IN TURN IS PROGRESSIVE WITH THE TROUGH... WILL KEEP HIGH
TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S (MAY NEED TO BE LOWERED IF
ECMWF CONTINUES TO DEPICT THIS PATTERN AND/OR GFS COMES ON BOARD)..
WITH PERHAPS A BIT WARMER ON WEDNESDAY... WHEN THE BEST LIFT AND
MOISTURE SHOWN BY THE ECMWF TRANSLATE TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA.
OVERNIGHT LOWS DURING THIS TIME WILL BE QPF DRIVEN AS WELL. THUS...
WILL STAY CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST AND HPC FOR NOW... AND GO WITH
LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. WRT PRECIP CHANCES WILL KEEP
CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY... AND KEEP WEDNESDAY DRY.
&&
.AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 745 AM THURSDAY...
IFR/LIFR CIGS AND MARGINAL MVFR VSBY WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
MORNING. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING NORTHWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NC
WILL QUICKLY EXIT TO THE NORTH BY 18Z... AND MOST OF THE HEAVY RAIN
WILL DEPART THE AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH... BUT THE HEAVY RAIN
THREAT WILL LAST THE LONGEST AT RWI/FAY. BUT CONSIDERABLE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE UPSTREAM WILL KEEP IFR TO MVFR CIGS OVER CENTRAL NC
TERMINAL SITES THROUGH MOST OF THE AFTERNOON... NOT LIFTING AND
CLEARING OUT TO VFR UNTIL AFTER 00Z THIS EVENING. FROM 05Z ONWARD...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED... BUT ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
ACCOMPANYING SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT AT RWI/FAY. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL REMAIN AN
AVIATION HAZARD THROUGH 16Z TODAY AT RDU/RWI/FAY WITH STRONG SE
WINDS JUST EAST OF THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER'S TRACK... UP TO 35-40
KTS AROUND 1500-1800 FT AGL. THE LLWS THREAT WILL END BY LATE
MORNING.
LOOKING BEYOND FRIDAY MORNING... VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. A REINFORCING COLD FRONT MAY
BRING VFR CIGS EARLY SUNDAY. -GIH
