AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
325 PM EDT SUN MAR 28 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST
TONIGHT. A WARM FRONT WHICH HAS LIFTED NORTH ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
WILL BECOME STATIONARY OVER THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT AND SOUTHERN
VIRGINIA. THE STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING RESULTING IN PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL FOLLOW THE STORM ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING KEEPING THE WEATHER UNSETTLED.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY...

CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL STORM
LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS/WESTERN KENTUCKY AND LIFTING ENE. THE
LARGE HEIGHT FALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW...COMBINED WITH A
STRONG SUBTROPICAL JET...INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...AND A LOW
LEVEL BOUNDARY WILL ALL COMBINE FOR A RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.

STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA
AS A WARM FRONT PROGRESSED NORTH ACROSS THE REGION. THIS HAS ALLOWED
TEMPS TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ACROSS THE TRIANGLE
AND AREA SOUTH AND EAST...WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A LARGE TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE CWA SINCE THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT HAS GENERALLY
BEEN IN A RAIN INDUCED WEDGE AIRMASS TODAY. THIS WEDGE AIRMASS WILL
LIMIT THE NORTHWARD MOVEMENT OF THE WARM FRONT AND THEREFORE A
THERMAL MOISTURE (WEDGE) BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO SET UP AND ACT AS A
FOCUS FOR SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT OVER SC
THIS EVENING AS STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT (80+ METER H5 FALLS)
ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID/UPPER LOW AND STRONG UPPER DIVERGENCE (WITH
THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 125+ KNOT UPPER JET) COMBINE OVER THE
REGION. THIS LOW SHOULD MOVE NORTHEAST AND TRACK NEAR CENTRAL NC.
MODELS SHOW A SQUALL LINE...WITH DAMAGING WINDS...DEVELOPING AND
MOVING ACROSS THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT. A HIGHLY SHEARED
ENVIRONMENT (0-1 KM SHEAR NEAR 30-35 KNOTS AND HELICITY VALUES
AROUND 300 M2/S2) ALONG WITH LIMITED CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 300-600
J/KG WILL LEAD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. AS THE
SURFACE LOW TRACKS NE...WINDS WILL BACK ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
PORTIONS OF NC...LEADING TO WIND PROFILES BECOMING EVEN MORE
FAVORABLE FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT. THE MAIN LACKING INGREDIENT
CONTINUES TO BE THE LESS THAN FAVORABLE INSTABILITY. WITH MODELS
PROGGING DEWPOINT VALUES TO RECOVER TO NEAR 60 DEGREES GENERALLY
FROM FAY TO GSB...CAPE VALUES OF 300 TO 600 J/KG CAN BE EXPECTED.

THE FLOOD THREAT CONTINUES TO BE FAIRLY LOW DUE TO THE RATHER DRY
PERIOD EXPERIENCED RECENTLY (PAST 2-3 WEEKS). THE FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE IS OVER 2 INCHES IN AN HOUR AND NEAR 3 INCHES IN 3 HOURS.
QPF OF 1 TO LOCALLY 2 INCHES IS EXPECTED. THIS COULD BRING SOME
MINOR FLOODING ISSUES TO FLOOD PRONE AND URBAN AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 320 PM SUNDAY...

CONVECTIVE LINE SHOULD BE EXITING THE COASTAL SECTIONS MONDAY
MORNING WITH THE SEVERE THREAT RAPIDLY WINDING DOWN AS LOW-LEVEL
JET AND ASSOCIATED IMPRESSIVE (+30KT 0-1KM SHEAR) LOW-LEVEL
KINEMATIC WIND FIELD SHIFTS OFFSHORE. A BRIEF LULL IN SHOWER
COVERAGE THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS BEFORE DAYTIME HEATING AND RESULTANT DESTABILIZATION(~500 J/KG)
WILL SUPPORT CONVECTIVE RE-DEVELOPMENT AS UPPER LOW PIVOTS
OVER THE AREA. WILL CARRY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS WELL INTO THE EVENING
HOURS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER POSSIBLE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PIEDMONT AND
COASTAL SECTIONS WHERE MODELS SHOW BEST INSTABILITY. SHOWER COVERAGE
AND PROBABILITY SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH ACROSS THE AREA FROM SW TO
NE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON AS WRAP
AROUND DEFORMATION ZONE LIFTS NORTH OF THE AREA.

DIFFICULT HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR MONDAY...BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST
WE COULD SEE SOME SUBSTANTIAL BREAKS BEHIND THE EXITING CONVECTIVE
LINE. HIGHS IN THE LOWER 60S NW TO AROUND 70 EAST. MUCH COOLER
MONDAY NIGHT(COMPARED TO PREVIOUS NIGHT)...DESPITE THE CLOUDS AND
RAIN SHOWERS. LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 40S. ONE LAST BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURE DAY ON TUESDAY AS THE COLD UPPER TROUGH LIFTS SLOWLY UP
THE MID-ATLANTIC/SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST. HIGHS 60 TO 65. LOWS
TUESDAY NIGHT UNDER CLEARING SKIES IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 320 PM SUNDAY...

MIDWEEK ON WILL BE DOMINATED BY HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGING OVER
THE REGION...IN RESPONSE TO AN EVOLUTION OF A CLOSED LOW OVER
THE SOUTHWEST CONUS. TEMPERATURES WILL SOAR TO WELL BELOW NORMAL
WITH AFTERNOON READINGS WELL INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S FRIDAY AND
INTO THE WEEKEND. A GOOD 30 TO 35 F DEGREE DIURNAL VARIATION WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS AS STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING IS EXPECTED. LOWS IN
THE 40S...GRADUALLY MODERATING INTO THE LOWER 50S.

WHILE THERE ARE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH
HOW/WHEN THE LONG RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS HANDLE THE EASTWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER LOW...RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO HOLD OFF UNTIL
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM SUNDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AS SOME MIXING WAS ABLE TO OCCUR TODAY. HOWEVER...THE
NORTHWEST PIEDMONT HAS HAD MVFR CEILINGS FOR MOST OF THE DAY AND
THESE MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA THROUGHOUT
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
DETERIORATE (IFR TO LIFR CIGS) FROM WEST TO EAST...WITH PERIODS OF
RAIN THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF A STRONG STORM SYSTEM.
THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE OF THUNDER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
WITH A 15-30KT SURFACE WIND FROM THE SOUTH. SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON MONDAY AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES OVERHEAD. MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS GENERALLY EXPECTED.

SHOWER CHANCES/MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE
MID/UPPER LOW. BY TUESDAY...THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE OUT TO SEA AND
STRONG MID LEVEL RIDGING/SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION. THE WILL RESULT IN VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. A FEW SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ALONG A WARM FRONT OVER THE REGION.
ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE.

THE MAIN HAZARD WILL BECOME DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OVERNIGHT AS THE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO A LINE THAT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION BEFORE DAYBREAK MONDAY. WINDS MAY BRIEFLY GUST TO
60 MPH WITH THIS LINE.

ISOLATED TORNADOES AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
