AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
802 PM EDT WED MAR 23 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT... WITH A SECONDARY COLD
FRONT DROPPING THROUGH ON THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION FROM THE NORTH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 610 PM WEDNESDAY...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 59 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 100 AM
EDT...ROUGHLY ALONG AND NORTH OF US HIGHWAY 64.

THROUGH TONIGHT: THE SURFACE WARM FRONT HAD RETREATED TO JUST
NORTHEAST OF A LINE FROM KILM-KEWN-KOCW-KIXA-KAVC-KLYH...WHERE IT
THEN INTERSECTED THE ADVANCING COLD POOL ATTENDING THE LINE OF
SUPERCELLS CROSSING WEST- CENTRAL VA. ALREADY LONG AND STRAIGHT
HODOGRAPHS...AMIDST UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW IN THE STORM-BEARING LAYER
WILL FAVOR SPLITTING SUPERCELLS...THE RIGHT MOVERS OF WHICH WILL
CURVE EAST SOUTHEASTWARD (~280-290 DEGREES AT 45 KTS). THIS FLOW AND
ASSOCIATED LARGE SCALE ASCENT IN THE JET EXIT REGION WILL ONLY
FURTHER STRENGTHEN WITH TIME THIS EVENING...AS A POTENT MID LEVEL
JET NEAR 100 KTS ACCELERATES FROM THE TN VALLEY EASTWARD
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS...UNDERNEATH A
STEERING VORTEX EVOLVING OVER SOUTHEASTERN CANADA. THERE REMAINS
SOME QUESTION REGARDING THE DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION OVER THE
PIEDMONT OF NC...WHERE SURFACE DEWPOINTS WERE WITHIN A FEW DEGREES
OF 45. HOWEVER...RECENT REGIONAL RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST NEW STORM
DEVELOPMENT IN A SIMILARLY DRY ENVIRONMENT FROM NEAR KMTV TO
KMWK...AND STRONG MID LEVEL ROTATIONAL EFFECTS SUGGEST STORM
MAINTENANCE INTO THE NORTHERN NC PIEDMONT DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
A MODIFIED EML/STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT AND SOON-TO-BE COOLING
TEMPERATURES WILL FAVOR LARGE HAIL...PARTICULARLY WHILE THE STORMS
REMAIN MORE DISCRETE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. IN ADDITION...STEEP
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND LARGE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS ON THE ORDER OF
30-35 DEGREES WILL FAVOR AN ATTENDING THREAT OF
EVAPORATIONALLY-ENHANCED DAMAGING WINDS...AND  LIKELY UPSCALE GROWTH
INTO AN MCS AS THE STORMS OUTFLOWS CONGEAL LATER THIS EVENING...THEN
SURGE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF CENTRAL NC THROUGH 06Z. PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST POST-CONVECTIVE LOWS 52 TO 60 ACCEPTED.

FOR THURSDAY... THE RISK OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS SHOULD EXIT
BY MID MORNING THURSDAY AS THE VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVES RAPIDLY
OFFSHORE... WITH MID LEVEL DRYING AND WARMING OVERSPREADING THE AREA
AND CANADIAN SOURCE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TRYING TO BUILD IN FROM
THE NORTHWEST. AS DRY AIR RUSHES IN WITH ADDITIONAL DRYING FROM
THE DOWNSLOPE FLOW... LOW RH VALUES ARE LIKELY (SEE FIRE WEATHER
SECTION BELOW). BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY WITH GOOD MIXING
COMMENCING EARLY (BY MID MORNING)... AND GUSTS TO 30 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE MORNING UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON.
HIGHS 63 TO 73 UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES... WITH THE COOLER
READINGS OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST (CONSIDERABLE CLOUDS THROUGH THE
MORNING) AND IN THE NORTHWEST (COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND A
SECONDARY FRONT WHICH PUSHES SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON). -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 310 PM...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL RIDGE SOUTHWARD INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI DELTA THURSDAY EVENING... BRINGING A NORTH SURFACE FLOW
TO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. A SUBSIDENCE INVERSION/ISOTHERMAL LAYER
IN THE MID LEVELS STRENGTHENS WITH TIME OVERNIGHT. SOME ADVECTION OF
MOISTURE FROM VIRGINIA IN NORTH FLOW... WITH MOST MODELS CONFINING
MOISTURE TO THE EAST HALF OF THE STATE. ADVECTION OR DEVELOPMENT OF
STRATUS WOULD IMPACT LOW TEMPERATURES... BUT FOR NOW EXPECT ENOUGH
DRYNESS AND ONLY WEAK WARM ADVECTION IN THE LAYER TO KEEP SKIES
PARTLY CLOUDY. CIRRUS AFTER MIDNIGHT MAY MINIMALLY HOLD TEMPERATURES
UP. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES MID TO UPPER 30S... WITH COLDER
NORTHERN SPOTS POTENTIALLY TO FREEZING IF CLOUDS ARE MINIMAL.

WELL MIXED ATMOSPHERE FRIDAY WITH LESS DEEP AFTERNOON MIXED LAYER...
TO ABOUT 5000 FEET. LOWER THICKNESSES WILL BE OVER THE NORTHEAST
DURING THE AFTERNOON... AT AROUND 1330 METERS. SOME AFTERNOON
CUMULUS WITH SOME ALTOCUMULUS ADVECTING IN DURING THE AFTERNOON.
HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR 57 NORTHEAST... AND 64 SOUTHWEST.

MOISTURE BELOW 15000 FEET ON THE INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE
WINDS SHIFT TO SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST. CLOUDS ON THE INCREASE AND LOW
LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES UP AT LEAST 20 METERS FROM FRIDAY MORNING.
LOW TEMPERATURES AROUND 40 NORTHEAST TO MID 40S 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 /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM WEDNESDAY...

AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT...A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAS MOVED
INTO THE TRIAD REGION (KINT AND KGSO) AND IS NOW QUICKLY MOVING
SOUTHEAST INTO THE TRIANGLE AND COASTAL PLAIN REGIONS (KRDU AND
KRWI) THIS EVENING. BEHIND THIS INITIAL LINE...ANOTHER LINE IS
CLOSELY FOLLOWING AND IS EXPECTED TO SWEEP ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL
NC...LIKELY IMPACTING KINT/KGSO BETWEEN 01Z TO 04Z...KRDU AND KRWI
BETWEEN 02Z TO 06Z...AND KFAY 03Z TO 08Z. THESE MAINLY MVFR STORMS
WILL BE FAST MOVING AND MAY CONTAIN STRONG WIND GUSTS OVER 40 KNOTS.
STORM CHANCES WILL TAPER OFF TONIGHT BY 08Z AS THE COLD FRONT
MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH THE AREA. HOWEVER...AS AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE PASSES OVERHEAD TOWARDS DAYBREAK...A PERIOD OF MVFR
CEILINGS AND A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS KRDU AND KRWI
FROM ABOUT 08Z TO 13Z. THEN...VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR
THURSDAY WITH WINDS PICKING UP OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT 12 TO 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
