AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
315 PM EDT TUE JUN 21 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS OUR REGION THIS EVENING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY BRINGING HOT CONDITIONS. A WEAKENING UPPER
TROUGH WILL APPROACH WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA LATE WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY INCREASING THE CHANCE OF LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...

COMPLEX FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON WITH WIDESPREAD SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES
AND CONTINUED DIFFICULTY WITH THE FORECAST OF CONVECTIVE INITIATION
AND EVOLUTION.

FIRST A WILDFIRE IN PENDER COUNTY THAT STARTED ON FRIDAY FROM A
LIGHTNING STRIKE ERUPTED ON MONDAY AND IS PRODUCING WIDESPREAD
SMOKE ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN AND TRIAD AREA. THE SMOKE ARRIVED
WITH A LIGHT SE FLOW OVERNIGHT AND A LOW MIXED LAYER. VISIBILITIES
HAVE BEEN AS LOW AS 2 MILES AT KRDU AND AROUND 4 MILES AT AROUND A
HALF DOZEN OTHER METAR LOCATIONS. SFC WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT THIS
EVENING AND WILL TEND TO VEER AROUND TO MORE SOUTHWESTERLY. THE
LIGHT SPEEDS WONT PROVIDE RAPID ALLEVIATION OF THE SMOKE AND LOW
VISIBILITIES TONIGHT AND AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COLLAPSES...
CONDITIONS COULD WORSEN LOCALLY. OUTFLOW FROM CONVECTION THIS
EVENING COULD PROVIDE SOME RELIEF FROM THE SMOKE BUT PINPOINTING THE
LOCATION AND IMPACT OF THIS IS FOOLHARDY.

CONVECTION IS ALREADY ONGOING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NC WITH
NUMEROUS REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL RECEIVED. THIS CONVECTION IS
DEVELOPING IN A REGION OF DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AND WILL TEND TO
DRIFT EAST AND NORTHEAST THIS EVENING WITH THE LIGHT W TO SW FLOW AT
MID LEVEL. THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT IS CHARACTERIZED BY
GOOD INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPES BETWEEN 2000-3000 J/KG WITH A MORE
STABLE AIRMASS ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN BECAUSE OF REDUCED
INSOLATION FROM CLOUDINESS AND SMOKE. EXPECT THIS CONVECTION TO MOVE
EAST AND EVENTUALLY OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THE LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD
IS GENERALLY LIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE LOWEST 4KM WHICH BUT THE
ASSOCIATED COOL POOL SHOULD SUPPORT AND DRIVE THE CONVECTION ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT THIS EVENING. WOULD EXPECT WIND THREAT TO BE
THE PRIMARY HAZARD THIS EVENING GIVEN THE FORECAST PROFILES OVER
CENTRAL NC BUT MOST OF THE SEVERE REPORTS THIS AFTN HAVE BE FROM
LARGE HAIL. WILL INCREASE POPS INTO THE MID CHANCE RANGE ACROSS THE
NW PIEDMONT...HIGHLIGHT LOW CHANCE POPS IN THE SOUTHERN COASTAL
PLAIN NEAR THE DISTURBANCE ALOFT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE FOR
THIS EVENING.

ANOTHER HOT DAY IS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S
TO NEAR 100. AFTN DEW POINTS ON WEDNESDAY RANGE IN THE MID 60S TO
NEAR 70. HOURLY APPARENT TEMP GRIDS SUGGEST THAT THE HEAT INDEX WILL
GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW 105 DEGREES AND SHOULD PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR
A HEAT ADVISORY. WILL HIGHLIGHT THE ELEVATED HEAT INDECIES WITH THE
HWO. EXPECT ANOTHER SHOT OF AFTN CONVECTION ON WED WITH
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AND PUSHING EAST
DURING THE EVENING. GREATEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NW PIEDMONT. -BLAES

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW CURRENTLY LOCATED ON THE IA/NE BORDER
WILL BE LOCATED IN WISCONSIN BY 00Z THU...MOVING OVER LAKE MICHIGAN
BY 12Z THU...WITH H5 TROUGHING/CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT EXTENDING
SOUTHEAST INTO THE OH/TN VALLEYS. THE H5 RIDGE CURRENTLY MOVING OVER
THE CAROLINAS/MID-ATLANTIC WILL MOVE OFFSHORE BY 12Z THU...WITH
STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER CENTRAL NC. A WEAKENING
FRONTAL ZONE EXTENDING SOUTHWEST FROM THE LOWER GREAT LAKES INTO THE
TN VALLEY (ASSOC/W THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW) WILL APPROACH THE
MID-ATLANTIC/NC LATE WED NIGHT...BUT SHOULD REMAIN WEST/NW OF
CENTRAL NC THROUGH 12Z THU. EXPECT ENOUGH LINGERING INSTABILITY TO
SUPPORT CONVECTION OVERNIGHT IN ASSOC/W ANY DISTURBANCES IN CYCLONIC
FLOW ALOFT...PRIMARILY THROUGH MIDNIGHT. AS SUCH...THE PRECIP
FORECAST WILL PRIMARILY DEPEND ON THE TIMING/LOCATION OF ANY WEAK
PERTURBATIONS. WILL KEEP A 30% CHANCE IN THE NW PIEDMONT THROUGH
MIDNIGHT...WHERE AFOREMENTIONED DISTURBANCES WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO
TRACK...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE (20%) ELSEWHERE. AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL
LOWER POPS TO 20% EVERYWHERE. WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...
EXPECT BALMY LOWS IN THE LOWER/MID 70S.

THURSDAY:
THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW IS PROGGED TO SLOWLY MEANDER OVER THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES ON THU...WITH CONTINUED CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT
OVER THE TN/OH VALLEYS AND MID-ATLANTIC/NC. GFS/NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS
DIFFER GREATLY ON THE THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE ACROSS CENTRAL NC ON
THU...WITH THE GFS SHOWING DRY/SUBSIDENT MID-LEVELS WITH A ~1.00"
PWAT...AND THE NAM SHOWING A MOIST PROFILE WITH PWAT VALUES ~1.85".
ADDITIONALLY...MOS GUIDANCE IS SHOWING A ~10F RANGE IN HIGH TEMPS...
WITH THE MAV INDICATING 95F AT RDU AND THE MET 85F. GIVEN THAT THE
GFS/NAM SHOW A SIMILAR HEIGHT/MSLP PATTERN OVER CENTRAL NC...THE
AFOREMENTIONED DIFFERENCE IN THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES COULD BE A
RESULT OF SHORTWAVES IN CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT...OR RATHER THE DPVA
AHEAD OF/SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF SAID DISTURBANCES. HOWEVER...GFS
H85 TEMPS ARE ~3F WARMER OVER CENTRAL NC THAN THE NAM THU
AFTERNOON...WITH SIMILAR H85 WIND SPEED/DIRECTIONS ON BOTH MODELS.
THIS TREND IS NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE CAROLINAS...BUT MUCH OF THE
SOUTHEAST STATES AS WELL...AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN WHY.
WITH THE ABOVE IN MIND...WILL FORECAST A SLIGHT CHANCE (20%) OF
SHOWERS/STORMS...WITH CHANCES/COVERAGE MOST LIKELY DEPENDING ON THE
PRESENCE/TIMING OF DISTURBANCES IN CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT...ALTHOUGH IF
GFS THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ARE  ON THE RIGHT TRACK WE WOULD LIKELY
BE TOO DRY/CAPPED FOR ANY CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. GIVEN THE
AFOREMENTIONED UNCERTAINTY W/REGARD TO H85 TEMPS...WILL SPLIT THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOS GUIDANCE...WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S...OR
89-94F.

THURSDAY NIGHT:
THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MEANDER OVER THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHERN ONTARIO THU NIGHT...WITH CYCLONIC FLOW
ALOFT EXTENDING SOUTH OVER THE OH/TN VALLEYS INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC
AND CAROLINAS. PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE TIED ENTIRELY TO ANY
DISTURBANCES IN CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT AND THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY
LINGERING DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL CONTINUE A TOKEN 20%
CHANCE OF STORMS WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. -VINCENT

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...

...PRECIP CHANCES EXPECTED TO INCREASE FRIDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND...

THE AFOREMENTIONED VERTICALLY STACKED CYCLONE OVER THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES AND SOUTHERN ONTARIO WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND LIFT N/NE TOWARD
JAMES BAY ON FRI...WITH CONTINUED CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT OVER THE TN
VALLEY...MID-ATLANTIC AND CAROLINAS...WITH A POSSIBILITY OF MORE
FOCUSED SHORTWAVE ENERGY APPROACHING CENTRAL NC FROM THE WEST FRI
EVE/NIGHT. AS A RESULT...EXPECT INCREASED PRECIP CHANCES ON FRI/FRI
NIGHT COMPARED TO PREVIOUS NIGHTS. WILL FCST 30-40% AT THIS TIME DUE
TO UNCERTAINTIES IN THE TIMING/EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN...WITH NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL HIGH TEMPS IN THE UPPER
80S TO LOWER 90S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S FRI NIGHT.

THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...EXPECT A STRENGTHENING H5
RIDGE OVER TX/MEXICO...A PERSISTENT H5 RIDGE OFFSHORE...AND WEAK H5
TROUGHING IN-BETWEEN OVER THE TN VALLEY...DEEP SOUTH AND CAROLINAS.
GIVEN SEASONAL BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY AND WEAK
TROUGHING ALOFT OVER AND JUST UPSTREAM OF CENTRAL NC...EXPECT
INCREASED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL KEEP POPS NO HIGHER THAN 30% AT THIS TIME
DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES ASSOC/W THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. EXPECT
HIGH/LOW TEMPS NEAR NORMAL...UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S AND UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S. -VINCENT

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM TUESDAY...

COMPLEX FORECAST SITUATION THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON WITH SMOKE AND POTENTIAL CONVECTION.

SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES IN SOUTHEASTERN NC WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD INTO
CENTRAL NC...ADVERSELY AFFECTING VSBYS AND CIGS...MAINLY AT
KRDU/KFAY/KRWI. EXPECT VSBYS AND CIGS TO IMPROVE SLIGHTLY THIS AFTN
BEFORE THE COLLAPSE OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER TONIGHT RESULTS IN
DECREASING VSBYS AND CIGS. POOREST CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT KRDU
THROUGH THIS EVENING AND THEN SHIFTING EAST TOWARD KRWI.

SCT CONVECTION FIRING ACROSS THE MTNS OF NC WILL SHIFT EAST AND
SHOULD IMPACT THE NW PIEDMONT TAF LOCATIONS -KINT/KGSO BETWEEN 22
AND 04Z. ADDED A PERIOD OF CBS TO TAFS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. NOT SURE
HOW FAR EAST THIS CONVECTION WILL MAKE. OTHER CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE
IN THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN WHICH COULD IMPACT TAFS
AT KFAY AND POSSIBLY KRWI. NOT REAL CONFIDENT IN CHC OF TSRA SO WILL
OMIT FROM TAFS FOR NOW.

OUTSIDE OF SMOKE...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY WITH
ANOTHER ROUND OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION POSSIBLE.

OUTLOOK...THERE IS A CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND WITH LOCALLY REDUCED VSBYS
AND CIGS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST. -BLAES
