AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
325 AM EDT THU MAR 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS WILL CROSS THE REGION TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 305 AM THURSDAY...

THIS MORNING AND TODAY:
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISOLATED SEVERE
WEATHER ACROSS CENTRAL NC YESTERDAY EVENING HAS GENERALLY SHIFTED TO
THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING... WITH THE LEADING
OUTFLOW SOUTH OF OUR AREA. THUS... ONLY TRAILING STRATIFORM RAIN
REMAINS WITH THIS ACTIVITY ACROSS OUR SANDHILLS AND SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN. NEXT WE NEED TO TURN OUR ATTENTION TO SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS
TO OUR NORTH AND WEST... ALONG WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. MOST
OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION NEAR TERM MODELS KEEP THIS ACTIVITY JUST TO
THE NORTH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER... WILL ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE CWA AFTER 08Z (UNTIL NO
LATER THAN 15Z) THIS MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POTENTIAL... AS
STRONG UPPER FORCING FROM THE MID/LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO
OVERSPREAD THE AREA. SPC HAS A SEE TEXT OVER FAR NE NC/SE VA FOR THE
NEW DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK... WITH 5 PERCENT HAIL PROBABILITIES
JUST TO THE NORTHEAST OF OUR CWA... AS THE CORE OF THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS WILL PASS OVERHEAD THERE. EXPECT THIS POTENT MID LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS AND COLD FRONT TO BE EAST OF THE AREA BY 15Z... ENDING
ANY LINGERING THREAT OF SHOWERS. A SECONDARY/REINFORCING COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS MORNING INTO
THE EARLY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIP WITH THIS
FRONT. WINDS BEHIND THE SECONDARY COLD FRONT SHOULD SWING AROUND TO
NORTHWESTERLY WITH SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS IN THE 15 TO 20 MPH
RANGE... WITH GUSTS OF UP TO 30 MPH. GIVEN THIS AND EXPECTED
CRASHING OF THE DEW POINTS... THIS WILL CREATE ANOTHER DANGEROUS
FIRE WEATHER DAY. SEE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION FOR MORE DETAILS.
HIGHS TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MID 60S NORTH TO
THE LOWER 70S SOUTH.

TONIGHT:
COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA TONIGHT... WITH
WINDS POSSIBLY DECOUPLING ACROSS THE AREA. THINK THE BEST SHOT OF
WINDS GOING LIGHT AND VARIABLE TO CALM WILL BE IN THE WEST WHERE THE
SURFACE GRADIENT MY RELAX THE MOST. GIVEN THIS ALONG WITH CLEAR
SKIES AND EXPECTED LOWS IN THE MID 30S ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PIEDMONT... WILL ISSUE A FROST ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT.
OVERALL EXPECT LOWS TO RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 30S. THIS
ADVISORY MY NEED TO BE EXPANDED FURTHER IF LATER SHIFTS EXPECT WINDS
TO BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVER A LARGER PORTION OF THE CWA RESULTING
IN GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.

FRIDAY:
QUITE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON FRIDAY... WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUING TO BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH... WITH
GENERALLY WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN
ANOTHER MOSTLY TO PARTLY SUNNY DAY... WITH HIGH TEMPS BELOW NORMAL
IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM/FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM THURSDAY...

A SERIES OF MID-LEVEL TROUGHS WILL EJECT EASTWARD FROM THE BROAD
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN US AND ACROSS THE NATIONS MIDSECTION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A DREARY...DAMP...COOL
WEEKEND FOR CENTRAL NC AS THE ATTENDANT WAVY QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT
IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP INVOF OF THE CAROLINAS STARTING SATURDAY
THROUGH LATE SUNDAY.

THIS RAIN EVENT COULD VERY WELL END UP BRINGING SOME DROUGHT RELIEF
FOR PARTS OF THE STATE WITH MODELS SHOWING THE POTENTIAL FOR
AN EFFICIENT WARM RAIN PROCESS DRAWN OUT OVER AN EXTENDED 36 HOUR
TIME FRAME...DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY GOOD ISENTROPIC LIFT AHEAD AND
INVOF OF A BROAD H8 LOW MOVING EAST INTO THE REGION. THE RIGHT
ENTRANCE DIVERGENCE REGION OF AN UPPER JET OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC
COAST COULD ALSO AIDE IN PRODUCING A SWATH OF MDT TO LOCALLY HEAVY
AMOUNTS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODEL SPREAD IS
HIGH IN REGARDS TO EXACTLY WHERE THESE SWATHS WILL SET UP...WITH THE
NAM AND EC FAVORING THE HIGHEST QPF AMOUNTS IN THE COOL SECTOR(NORTH
OF THE FRONT)...WHILE GFS KEEPS THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS JUST ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE FRONT. WILL INCREASE POPS TO HIGH LIKELY(60 TO 70%) FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MIDDAY SUNDAY. AS FAR AS QPF...WILL SPLIT THE
DIFFERENCE AND GO WITH A QUARTER TO HALF INCH ACROSS THE CWA...WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF A HALF INCH TO AN INCH.

VERY CHALLENGING TEMPERATURE FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
WITH CENTRAL NC BEING ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY...ONSET OF
QPF SHOULD INITIATE A IN-SITU DAMMING EVENT BY SATURDAY EVENING AND
CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE A GOOD 10 TO 15 DEGREES
COLDER THAN MOS STATISTICAL GUIDANCE...KEEPING TEMPERATURES IN THE
40S ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS. MEANWHILE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER...IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT AND THE WARM
SECTOR...TEMPERATURES COULD MAKE IT INTO THE LOWER 60S. WHILE NOT
READY TO MAKE SUCH A DRASTIC JUMP FROM CURRENT FORECAST WILL START
TO SHAVE OFF HIGHS AT LEAST A CATEGORY OR SO. HIGHS NEAR 50 ACROSS
THE NORTH TO LOWER 60S ACROSS THE SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 310 PM...

MID LEVEL WARM FRONT TO PUSH INTO NORTH CAROLINA FROM THE SOUTH
SATURDAY MORNING. THE 00Z ECMWF APPEARS TOO WEAK WITH 850 MILLIBAR
FLOW COMPARED TO THE LATEST MORNING MODELS. EXPECTING A CHANCE FOR
RAIN BEFORE NOON IN THE WEST... WITH LESSER CHANCES EAST. AS THE LOW
TO OUR WEST APPROACHES... WINDS INCREASE ALOFT AND ISENTROPIC LIFT
IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA MAXIMIZES TOWARD VIRGINIA. LIKELY POPS
NORTH TO HIGH CHANCE SOUTH. HIGH TEMPERATURES MID 50S NORTH TO MID
60S SOUTH.

SURFACE LOW TO OUR WEST FORECAST TO REACH EASTERN TENNESSEE BEFORE
SUNRISE SUNDAY. SOME MODELS HINTING AT A DAMMING SCENARIO WITH A
DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW INJECTING COLD AIR INTO NORTH CAROLINA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY WHICH COULD RESULT IN
FALLING OR AT LEAST STEADY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WITH THE LAST RAIN
THREAT EXITING AREAS EAST OF INTERSTATE 95 DURING THE EVENING.
SATURDAY NIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES LOW 40S NORTH TO LOWER 50S SOUTH.
SUNDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES LOW TO MID 50S NORTH... UPPER 50S SOUTH.

THIS MORNINGS MODELS FAVOR A BROAD WEAK SURFACE LOW COMPLEX MONDAY
MORNING IN THE GULF STATES UNDER MOSTLY WEST FLOW... AND THE STRONG
UPPER LEVEL CUT OFF NORTH TEXAS LOW OF THE 00Z ECMWF IS REJECTED AT
THIS TIME. ONCE AGAIN A DAMMING AIR MASS IS POSSIBLE WITH A
DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW MONDAY NIGHT FUNNELING COOLER AIR FROM
VIRGINIA INTO NORTH CAROLINA. A CHANCE FOR RAIN BY MONDAY AFTERNOON
IS REASONABLE... CONTINUING INTO EARLY MONDAY NIGHT. MONDAY HIGH
TEMPERATURES 55 TO 60. MONDAY NIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES MID 30S NORTH
TO MID 40S SOUTH.

WILL FORECAST NO MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCES FOR RAIN FOR LATE MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY... BUT WITH LOW CONFIDENCE. EXPECTING STRONGER
UPPER LEVEL LOW TO OUR SOUTH TO SUPPRESS MORE IF NOT ALL
PRECIPITATION TO OUR SOUTH WITH ANY BROAD SURFACE LOW BEING WEAK.
REGARDLESS... ANY PRECIPITATION IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA LOOKS
QUITE MEAGER DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 130 AM THURSDAY...

STORM INTENSITY HAS DECREASED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS...WITH
ONLY ISOLATED STORMS LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST (KFAY) NOW.
OTHERWISE...ONLY LIGHT RAIN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH ABOUT 09Z...PRIMARILY FROM THE TRIANGLE AND
LOCATIONS SOUTH AND EAST (KRDU, KRWI, KFAY). ALSO...AS AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES OVERHEAD TOWARDS DAYBREAK...A FEW SHOWERS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS KRDU AND KRWI (HOWEVER THERE IS CURRENTLY NO
MENTION IN THE TAFS AS CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH). THEN...VFR
CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR THURSDAY WITH WINDS PICKING UP OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST TO ABOUT 12-16 KNOTS...WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS (WINDS SHOULD SLOWLY
SUBSIDE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS).

THEN VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THROUGH AT LEAST THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK. THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL HEAD BACK NORTH INTO
NORTH CAROLINA AS A WARM FRONT EARLY SATURDAY THEN STALL ACROSS
SOUTHERN NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH THE WEEKEND...LEADING TO PERIODS OF
MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AS OF 800 PM WEDNESDAY...

AFTER COORDINATION WITH THE FOREST SERVICE.. WE WILL HIGHLIGHT AN
INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR THURSDAY. WINDS FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL BE
SUSTAINED AROUND 15 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 TO 30 MPH... PRIMARILY
DURING THE MORNING THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. DRY AIR ADVECTING IN
FROM THE NORTHWEST COMBINED WITH ADDITIONAL DOWNSLOPE DRYING WILL
BRING RELATIVE HUMIDITY DOWN TO THE 24 TO 32 PERCENT RANGE.
THESE CONDITIONS ALONG WITH DRY FUELS AND THE LACK OF WIDESPREAD
SOAKING PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS THROUGH TONIGHT WILL POSE A THREAT FOR
ADVERSE FIRE BEHAVIOR. -GIH
