AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
120 PM EDT WED OCT 27 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSEASONABLY WARM...HUMID...AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
EAST THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1027 AM WEDNESDAY...

PER 14Z SURFACE ANALYSIS...SURFACE COLD FRONT HAS EDGED EASTWARD
SINCE DAYBREAK...HAVING CROSSED WEST JEFFERSON AND BOONE SINCE 8 AM.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AIR MASS REMAINS QUITE WARM, MOIST AND
MODERATELY UNSTABLE. MODEL RH CROSS SECTIONS DEPICT A RELATIVELY
NARROW BAND OF MOISTURE BETWEEN 2000-5000FT WHILE MUCH DRIER AIR
EXISTS ABOVE 10000FT. INSOLATION WILL AID TO MIX SOME OF THIS DRIER
AIR TOWARD THE SURFACE. THUS...EXPECT SOME OF THE LOW CLOUDS TO
DISSIPATE ENOUGH TO ALLOW AT A MINIMUM PARTLY SUNNY SKIES THIS
AFTERNOON. THE PARTIAL SUN IN COMBINATION WITH A WARM BREEZY SLY
WIND SHOULD PUSH TEMPS INTO THE LOW AND MID 80S WITH A FEW UPPER 80S
POSSIBLE IN THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND SANDHILLS. HAVE ADJUSTED
MAX TEMPS UP A COUPLE OF DEGREES FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

THOUGH HEATING OF THE MOIST UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL TRIGGER A FEW
SHOWERS AND T-STORMS THIS AFTERNOON...BEST FORCING FOR NUMEROUS
SHOWERS/T-STORMS WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER SUNSET WHEN THE SURFACE
COLD FRONT DRIFTS EAST ACROSS THE REGION. THUS HAVE ADJUSTED POPS IN
THE NW TO REFLECT LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS PRIME TIME FOR
SHOWERS AND T-STORMS.

AIR MASS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
IMPRESSIVE KINEMATICS WITH BULK SHEAR VALUES BETWEEN 40-50 KTS AND
0-1KM HELICITY 200-240 M2/S2. BEST NEAR SURFACE INSTABILITY IS THIS
AFTERNOON AND MAINLY CONFINED TO THE EASTERN COUNTIES WHERE MLCAPE
VALUES SHOULD EXCEED 1000 J/KG AND SBCAPE APPROACHES 2000 J/KG. LATE
TONIGHT...WHEN COLD FRONT CROSSES REGION...NEAR SURFACE INSTABILITY
RELATIVELY POOR. THUS...WHILE RADAR WILL LIKELY DISPLAY SEVERAL
ROTATING STORMS DUE TO THE KINEMATICS...RELATIVELY STABLE AIR MASS
MAY AID TO PREVENT STORMS FROM REACHING MAXIMUM SEVERE POTENTIAL.
WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...CURRENTLY NOT ANTICIPATING A MAJOR OUTBREAK OF WIDESPREAD
SEVERE WEATHER AT THIS TIME ACROSS CENTRAL NC. PRIMARY SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES
POSSIBLE. -WSS

TONIGHT:
THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL ZONE WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO MAKE SOME
PROGRESS INTO CENTRAL NC TONIGHT. WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN UNSEASONABLY WARM/MOIST AIRMASS
AND THE ONSET OF SYNOPTIC HEIGHT FALLS (~30 METER HEIGHT FALLS AT H5
BETWEEN 00-12Z TONIGHT)...WILL FCST LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL (60-80%)
POPS. EXPECT THE AFOREMENTIONED SEVERE THREAT TO PERSIST THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S (WEST/NW) TO LOWER 70S
(S/SE). -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230 AM WEDNESDAY...

THE LATEST MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THE EXPECTED COLD FRONT WILL
BE EITHER IN OR CLOSE TO THE COASTAL PLAIN BY 12Z THURSDAY. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRECEDING THE FRONT. THE LATEST NAM
APPEARS TO HAVE THE BEST DEPICTION OF THE EXTENT OF THE SHOWERS BY
THEN GIVEN THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AT 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL
AND IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT... WITH SURFACE DEW
POINTS IN EXCESS OF 70. EXPECT CATEGORICAL POP AROUND 12Z OVER THE
COASTAL PLAIN PUSHING SE OF THE REGION DURING THE MORNING. SKIES
WILL BE CLEARING DURING THE MORNING FROM NW TO SE. EVEN THOUGH THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL DRY OUT RAPIDLY... THE LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION
WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL THE AFTERNOON FOR THE EASTERN PIEDMONT TO THE
COAST. THEREFORE... HIGHS WILL LIKELY BE REACHED DURING THE EARLY
AFTERNOON IN THE NW. HIGHS IN THE EAST MAY STILL REACH INTO THE
LOWER TO MID 80S AS THE SW-W FLOW INCREASES TO 10-20 MPH AND DRIER
AIR MIXES DOWN TO THE SURFACE LOWERING DEW POINTS.

STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE 1030+
MB HIGH BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES
TIGHT. WITH CLEAR SKIES... LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE 40S (THE BREEZE
SHOULD KEEP THE NEAR SURFACE LAYER WELL MIXED KEEPING TEMPS ABOVE 40
MOST AREAS).

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO LOOSEN UP ON FRIDAY BUT DECENT
CAA FROM THE NNE AND MUCH LOWER LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES SUPPORT THE
COLDER MET GUIDANCE MOST AREAS. EXPECT HIGHS 60-65 WITH FULL
SUNSHINE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 255 AM WEDNESDAY...

THE COLD DRY SURFACE HIGH IS STILL FORECAST TO MOVE DIRECTLY
OVERHEAD FRIDAY NIGHT. CLEAR CALM CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO EXCELLENT
RADIATIONAL COOLING. LOWS OF 33-38 EXPECTED WITH SOME SCATTERED
FROST OVER THE PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN.

MODELS DO INDICATE LOW LEVEL WAA SATURDAY FROM THE WSW AS THE
SURFACE HIGH WILL SINK TO OUR SOUTH. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO
RECOVER BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT MAY MOVE INTO OUR REGION SUNDAY. THIS WOULD BE
A DRY FRONT AND WOULD MEAN LITTLE FOR OUR SENSIBLE WEATHER. THIS
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE PUSHED SOUTHWARD BY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
THAT IS FORECAST TO SETTLE OVER THE GREAT LAKES FROM CENTRAL CANADA
EARLY NEXT WEEK. CAA WOULD LIKELY BE MOST PRONOUNCED MONDAY OR
TUESDAY AS THE HIGH POSSIBLY BUILDS DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD.

THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL REMAINS MODEST WITH THE TROUGH DEVELOPMENT AND
POSSIBLY CLOSED LOW OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION EARLY
NEXT WEEK. DETAILS CONTINUE TO BE MIXED IN THE MODELS ON THE DEPTH
AND PLACEMENT OF SUCH A FEATURE... BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TROUGH
TO OUR WEST IS EXPECTED. THIS WOULD MEAN AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS/RAIN
CHANCES AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH POSSIBLE COLD AIR DAMMING
(IF THE SURFACE HIGH STRENGTH/POSITION VERIFIES OVER THE GREAT LAKES
AS WELL).

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM WEDNESDAY...

BREEZY SLY WINDS WITH INFREQUENT GUSTS TO 30KTS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. A STRONG COLD
FRONT EXTENDING FROM WESTERN VA INTO NORTHERN GA WILL EDGE EAST
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT THE
FRONT WILL NOT REACH THE TRIAD REGION UNTIL DAYBREAK...AND LIKELY
NOT CROSS RDU AND THE FAY VICINITIES UNTIL MID DAY OR EARLY
AFTERNOON THURSDAY. AIR MASS AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM IS VERY MOIST
RESULTING IN CEILINGS IN THE MVFR/LOW END VFR RANGE. EXPECT LITTLE
CHANGE IN CEILINGS THROUGH EARLY EVENING. LATER TONIGHT...AFTER 9
PM...EXPECT CEILINGS TO LOWER TO AROUND 1000FT AS MOISTURE POOLS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WHILE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND T-STORMS
CAN BE EXPECTED DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY THROUGH EARLY
EVENING...THE BULK OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL
AFTER SUNSET (IN THE WEST)...AND PROBABLY NOT UNTIL MIDNIGHT OR
LATER IN THE EAST.  IT WILL REMAIN BREEZY OVERNIGHT WITH SURFACE
WINDS 10-15KTS. WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE AT 2000FT WILL BE
30-35KTS...NOT QUITE LLWS CRITERIA.

EXPECT A BAND OF CONVECTION TO BE OCCURRING OVER THE REGION THURSDAY
MORNING WITH ITS ASSOCIATED IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS....ENDING BY MID
MORNING IN THE WEST...AND AROUND MID DAY OR EARLY AFTERNOON AT RDU
AND FAY AS THE SURFACE FRONT MOVES EAST. W-NW FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT
WILL USHER DRIER COOLER AIR INTO THE REGION. THIS CHANGE IN AIR MASS
WILL AID TO DISSIPATE CLOUDINESS WITH CLEARING PROGRESSING WEST-TO
EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NC THU AFTERNOON INTO THU EVENING. THE ONSET OF
COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL ALLOW WINDS TO REMAIN STEADY THU NIGHT WITH
GUSTS AROUND 20 MPH PROBABLE.  VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FRI THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.CLIMATE...
THE FOLLOWING ARE RECORD DAILY HIGHS AND HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
AT RDU AND GSO FOR TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

FOR RDU:
10/27 - RECORD HIGH 82 (1991), RECORD HIGH MIN 61 (1977)
THU 10/28 - RECORD HIGH 82 (1984)

FOR GSO:

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH TONIGHT. A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON...AND MOVE INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE...WITH A PRIMARY THREAT OF DAMAGING
WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. ALTHOUGH SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...THE
PRIMARY THREAT IS EXPECTED TO BE LATER THIS EVENING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE COLD FRONT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA OVERNIGHT. NIGHTTIME
TORNADOES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. OVER EIGHTY PERCENT OF ALL
TORNADO DEATHS IN NORTH CAROLINA OCCUR AT NIGHT. BEFORE GOING TO
BED...CHECK LOCAL RADIO OR TELEVISION FOR THE LATEST WEATHER
INFORMATION. HAVING A NOAA WEATHER RADIO READY TO ALERT YOU TO
WARNINGS AT NIGHT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST TO THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST
BY LATE THURSDAY MORNING. ANY THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG THE
FRONT SHOULD END IN THE COASTAL PLAIN BY MID THURSDAY MORNING.

A MUCH COOLER AIRMASS WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT. LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE
MID TO UPPER 30S FRIDAY NIGHT. FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE...PRIMARILY
IN RURAL AND OUTLYING AREAS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. SPOTTERS SHOULD STAY TUNED AND REPORT ANY SEVERE WEATHER
TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
