AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
248 PM EDT TUE JUN 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A SURFACE FRONT WILL APPROACH CENTRAL NC THIS AFTERNOON AND CROSS
THE REGION TONIGHT. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. DRIER MORE STABLE AIR WILL
OVERSPREAD THE REGION WEDNESDAY. VERY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK... AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM TUESDAY...

TONIGHT...INTENSE HEATING THIS AFTERNOON COUPLED WITH MOIST AIR MASS
(PRECIP WATER VALUES OFF BLENDED SATELLITE TOTAL PRECIP WATER AROUND
1.7 INCHES) LEADING TO A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WITH MLCAPE
VALUES OFF THE 17Z MESO ANALYSIS 2500-3000 J/KG IN THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT. HAND ANALYSIS DEPICTS A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH SW-NE ACROSS
THE PIEDMONT AND THIS IS STARTING TO SHOW UP ON THE VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY AS A LINE OF ENHANCED CU. APPROACH OF A MID LEVEL
TROUGH FROM EASTERN TN WILL SERVE TO DEEPEN THE LOW LEVEL TROUGH
WHICH WILL FOCUS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IN THIS REGION. MEANWHILE
UPPER LEVEL JET OVER EASTERN LAKES PROJECTED TO CROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND/NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC TONIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL INCREASE
UPPER DIVERGENCE OVER OUR REGION ESPECIALLY AFTER 00Z.
THUS...APPEARS THAT CENTRAL NC SHOULD SEE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND T-STORMS DEVELOP BY MID-LATE AFTERNOON...MAINLY OVER THE
PIEDMONT COUNTIES. THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DRIFT EWD WITH TIME
AS WINDS ALOFT ARE RELATIVELY WEAK (20KTS OR LESS).

WHILE THE WINDS ALOFT THAT NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE...THE INTENSE
HEATING AT THE SURFACE RESULT IN SURFACE DEWPOINT SPREADS 20-25
DEGREES. THIS ENVIRONMENT SUPPORT OF INVERTED VEE
SOUNDINGS...SUGGESTING DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS. THIS IS MOST LIKELY
TO OCCUR WITH STORMS THAT HAVE PERSISTENT UPDRAFTS WHICH WILL CAUSE
PRECIP LOADING ALOFT.

DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT...ANY STORMS THAT OCCUR OVER URBANIZED
AREAS OR POOR DRAINAGE AREA MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING.

AFTER 11 PM...EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO OCCUR EAST
OF HIGHWAY 1. SCATTERED CONVECTION MAY OCCUR WELL PAST MIDNIGHT IN
THE EAST AS MID LEVEL TROUGH DRIFTS SLOWLY EAST AND UPPER JET
PROVIDES THE COASTAL PLAIN WITH UPPER LEVEL LIFT.

MIN TEMPS TONIGHT MAINLY UPPER 60S TO THE LOWER 70S.

WEDNESDAY...FOCUS FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL REMAIN OVER THE
CENTRAL-SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND THE EASTERN SANDHILLS AS A
SURFACE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL TROUGH DRIFT E-SE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE A TAD FASTER WITH THE EWD MOVEMENT
WITH THE MORE AGGRESSIVE MODELS DEPICTING THE SURFACE FRONT EXITING
OUR SE COUNTIES BY 18Z.  NLY FLOW BEHIND THE EXITING FRONT WILL
SPREAD DRIER MORE STABLE AIR ACROSS CENTRAL NC. THUS LOCALES IN THE
PIEDMONT WEDNESDAY WILL SEE RAIN CHANCES LESS THAN 20 PERCENT. IN
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND EASTERN SANDHILLS...A
CHANCE POP STILL WARRANTED AS SURFACE FRONT LINGERS IN THIS VICINITY.

THICKNESSES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 80S
TO LOWER 90S.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MORE STABLE DRIER AIR WILL SETTLE OVER OUR REGION.
EXPECT SKIES TO BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR MOST ALL LOCALES PRIOR TO
MIDNIGHT. MIN TEMPS  A LITTLE COOLER THAN PREVIOUS NIGHTS ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTH. MIN TEMPS MID 60S NORTH TO AROUND 70 FAR SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...

THIS PERIOD WILL FEATURE WARMING CONDITIONS AND GENERALLY DRY
WEATHER... ALTHOUGH WE MAY BE INCREASINGLY AT THE MERCY OF UPSTREAM
MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS AND/OR THEIR REMNANTS AS WE HEAD INTO
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

FOR THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT: THE CLOSED MID LEVEL LOW OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL QUEBEC EARLY THURSDAY WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO THE EAST OVER THE
MARITIMES WHILE GRADUALLY BECOMING ABSORBED BY A LARGER DIGGING
TROUGH OVER NRN QUEBEC. THE BAGGY MID LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM
THIS LOW THROUGH THE CAROLINAS IS EXPECTED TO EASE VERY SLOWLY TO
THE ESE... PROPELLED BY THE RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE NATION'S
MIDSECTION TO THE UPPER MIDWEST. AT THE SURFACE... HIGH PRESSURE
WILL REMAIN CENTERED TO OUR NNW OVER OH/WV/WRN PA WITH THE FRONTAL
ZONE HOLDING ALONG THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE CWA. MODELS DEPICT ONE
VORTICITY MAXIMUM DROPPING TO THE SE ACROSS VA AND SWEEPING THROUGH
NE NC DURING THE EVENING HOURS... HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT THE COLUMN
WILL BE QUITE DRY WITH CLIMATOLOGICALLY LOW SURFACE DEW POINTS...
AND MODEL-PROJECTED INSTABILITY IS LOW AS WELL. THUS... EXPECT THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THE AREA TO REMAIN DRY. HIGHS 88-92 WITH PROGGED
THICKNESSES CLOSE TO NORMAL. LOWS 64-69.

FOR FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT: THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS CONTINUES TO EASE
OFF TO OUR SE AS THE MID LEVEL RIDGE GAINS STRENGTH OVER MO/IL...
PLACING NC BENEATH A WEAK NNW MID LEVEL FLOW. WEAK FLOW HOLDS AT THE
SURFACE AS WELL WITH LEE TROUGHING OVER THE PIEDMONT AND THE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR NORTH CONTINUING TO WEAKEN AND BECOME MORE
DIFFUSE. THE NAM/GFS/ECMWF DEPICT MCS ACTIVITY THURSDAY NIGHT OVER
LOWER MI... AND THE MEAN CLOUD LAYER FLOW SUGGESTS THAT ANY
RESULTANT MCV WOULD DROP SSE THROUGH NC LATE FRIDAY OR FRIDAY
NIGHT... HOWEVER AT THIS TIME RANGE IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TIME
SUCH FEATURES WITH ANY ACCURACY... OR EVEN HAVE MUCH FAITH IN THEIR
EXISTENCE. WITH LOW DEEP-LAYER SHEAR... SCANT MOISTURE... AND VERY
WEAK TO ABSENT FORCING MECHANISMS... WILL STAY WITH A DRY FORECAST
FOR NOW. THICKNESSES STEADILY REBOUND AS MID LEVEL HEIGHTS SLOWLY
RISE... POINTING TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL HIGHS OF 89-93... UNDER
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH SCATTERED TO BROKEN SHALLOW CUMULUS. LOWS
67-71 WITH FAIR SKIES. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...

THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND IS SHAPING UP TO BE A HOT ONE (SEE
CLIMATE SECTION BELOW)... WITH VERY LOW CHANCES FOR RAIN. THE MID
LEVEL RIDGE TO OUR WEST WILL STEADILY EXPAND EASTWARD OVER THE
CAROLINAS AS THE PRIMARY BELT OF WESTERLIES GETS SUPPRESSED WELL TO
OUR NORTH ACROSS THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER... WHILE THE WEAK LEE
SURFACE TROUGH SITS OVER THE PIEDMONT THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE
POTENTIAL PERSISTS FOR SUBTLE WAVES AND/OR AN MCV TO DROP THROUGH NC
SATURDAY/SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING AND KICK OF A FEW
STORMS... HOWEVER THE HIGH UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF ANY SUCH FEATURE PRECLUDES ADDING ANY MENTION TO THE
FORECAST AT THIS TIME. MID LEVEL WARMTH OVERHEAD BECOMES EVEN MORE
PROFOUND BY JULY 4TH... GREATLY LIMITING CONVECTION... ALTHOUGH
GIVEN THE STRONG SURFACE HEATING AND POSSIBILITY OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE POOLING TO CREATE LOCAL POCKETS OF HIGHER INSTABILITY BY
AFTERNOON... AN ISOLATED LATE-DAY STORM OR TWO IS CERTAINLY NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION. BY TUESDAY... MODELS SUGGEST THAT A DEEPENING AND
BROADENING VORTEX OVER HUDSON BAY WILL PUSH THE WESTERLIES A BIT TO
THE SOUTH (WITH FLOW TO OUR NW BECOMING INCREASINGLY CYCLONIC) AND
HELP LOWER HEIGHTS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY ENOUGH TO PUSH A COLD FRONT
INTO THE CENTRAL/SRN APPALACHIANS. WILL NOT SHOW A LARGE TREND
TOWARD WET WEATHER AT THIS FAR RANGE... HOWEVER WE WILL INCH MORE
TOWARD CLIMATOLOGICAL PRECIP CHANCES FOR TUESDAY. AFTER WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPS SATURDAY INTO MONDAY THE 4TH... EXPECT TEMPS TO REMAIN
JUST ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS ON TUESDAY. -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /17Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1215 PM TUESDAY...

A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS COUPLED WITH THE APPROACH OF A SURFACE
FRONT WILL HELP TO INITIATE SCATTER TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND T-STORMS
ACROSS CENTRAL NC LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. WHILE A
SHOWER OR TWO IS POSSIBLE IN THE COASTAL PLAIN THROUGH 4 PM...MOST
OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD INITIALLY DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON THEN PROGRESS E-SE. AFTER 10 PM...MOST
OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD OCCUR ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1.
IN VICINITY OF THE STORMS...EXPECT MVFR CEILING AND IFR VISIBILITY
ALONG WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND WIND GUSTS 30-35KTS. A FEW
SEVERE STORMS PROBABLE WITH THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT BEING
DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH SLOWLY
DRIFTS E-SE. POTENTIAL FOR LOW STRATUS AND MVFR/IFR FOG TO OCCUR
AFTER 10 PM OVER THE EASTERN PIEDMONT...SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN.
IF THE STRATUS AND FOG DEVELOP....IT SHOULD BURN OFF BY 10 AM
WEDNESDAY.

CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH TO COVERAGE ON WEDNESDAY AS DRIER MORE
STABLE AIR GRADUALLY OVERSPREADS THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. STILL
COULD BE A THREAT FOR CONVECTION IN THE KFAY VICINITY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AS DRIER MORE
STABLE AIR SETTLES OVER THE REGION. MAY SEE A FEW HOURS OF MVFR FOG
EACH MORNING WHILE ANY AFTERNOON-EVENING CONVECTION WILL BE ISOLATED.
