AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
207 PM EDT WED JUL 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER OVER THE CAROLINAS AND VIRGINIA
THROUGH THURSDAY...CAUSING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM WEDNESDAY...

PERSISTENCE FORECAST.
MOIST SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. PRECIPITABLE WATERS TO REMAIN HIGH. IT APPEARS ONLY THE
COLLAPSE OF A PARTICULARLY INTENSE THUNDERSTORM IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE
DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS AND THIS POSSIBILITY IS REMOTE. RAIN
CHANCES IN THE FIFTY TO SEVENTY PERCENT RANGE DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING SLIDING TO TWENTY TO FORTY PERCENT OTHERWISE. HEAVY
RAINS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING. HIGH
TEMPERATURES 85 TO 90 WITH SOME COOLER SPOTS WHERE CONVECTION IS
EARLY AND PERSISTENT ENOUGH. LOW TEMPERATURES 70 TO 75.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT FRIDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM WEDNESDAY...

MODELS REMAIN VERY WET ON THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH
SETS UP TO THE WEST AND RETURN FLOW OFF OF THE SURFACE HIGH TO THE
EAST WILL DRIVE DEEP SOUTHERLY/SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE REGION.
ENHANCED MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL KEEP PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR
OR SLIGHTLY BELOW 2 INCHES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. MODELS AGREE ON
ABOUT A HALF OF AN INCH OF QPF THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING
ACROSS THE AREA. THE NAM IS HINTING AT KEEPING HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE
SOUTHEAST BUT GENERATES A SYSTEM WITH TROPICAL FEATURES THAT MOVES
UP THE COAST. THIS SEEMS UNLIKELY...REGARDLESS...THE BEST MOISTURE
TRANSPORT WILL BE IN THE SOUTHEAST SO WILL TREND POPS AND QPF IN
THAT DIRECTION. CURRENTLY HAVE CHANCE POPS IN THE NORTHWEST AND
LIKELY IN THE SOUTHEAST. DYNAMIC TROPOPAUSE MAPS HINT AT A SHORTWAVE
DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT BUT MOST OF THE ENERGY
STAYS WELL NORTH OF THE CWA. AS FAR AS SEVERE THREAT GOES THURSDAY
NIGHT CANT RULE IT OUT BUT LAPSE RATES AND CAPE WILL BE MARGINAL AT
BEST AND SHEAR WILL BE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. GFS SEEMS OVERBLOWN WITH
AFTERNOON CAPE AS CLOUD COVER AND ONGOING PRECIPITATION SHOULD LIMIT
INSTABILITY. WITH ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS BEING VERY WET THE MAIN
CONCERN WILL MOST LIKELY SHIFT TO MONITORING FLOODING.

GOING INTO FRIDAY MORNING MODELS ARE PREDICTING A LULL IN THE
RAINFALL WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR SOME INCREASING INSTABILITY AS
TEMPERATURES GO DRY ADIABATIC BELOW 850 MILLIBARS. WITH SOME UPPER
LEVEL FORCING THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED FURTHER IN THE NEXT
SECTION...FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING DOES APPEAR TO BE THE BEST CHANCE
FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN ADDITION TO ANOTHER CHANCE FOR POTENTIALLY
VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. HIGHS DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE UPPER 80S TO
LOW 90S WITH LOWS IN THE LOW 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1210 PM WEDNESDAY...

UNSETTLED PERIOD OF WEATHER CONTINUES INTO LATE SATURDAY WITH A
REDUCED CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND A RETURN TO
MORE TYPICAL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

UPPER TROUGH LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS ON FRIDAY
NIGHT WILL EASE EAST AND MOVE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST BY EARLY
SUNDAY. HEIGHTS WILL RISE ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS AN UPPER RIDGE
DEVELOPS ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. HEIGHTS DROP SLIGHTLY
ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE WESTERLIES IN THE GREAT LAKES
STRENGTHENED AND DROP SOUTHWARD.

THE BEST CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION DURING THE LONG TERM WILL BE ON
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS A RATHER STRONG SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AND AN ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. THE
GFS/ECMWF HAVE PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE STRENGTH AND
ORIENTATION OF THE TROUGH. THE NAM GENERATES A SPURIOUS LOW OFF THE
CAROLINA COAST THAT ORIGINATES WITH A TROPICAL WAVE ACROSS THE
BAHAMAS ON THURSDAY AND WILL IGNORE THIS GUIDANCE. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES DURING THE PERIOD RANGING AROUND OR JUST
ABOVE 2 INCHES WITH A MODEST LOW AND MID LEVEL FLOW EXPECT FAIRLY
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WITH HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE. CLOUDS AND
PRECIPITATION WILL KEEP THE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE SPREAD SMALL WITH
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S.

THREAT OF PRECIPITATION DECREASES ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS TROUGH
AXIS MOVES EAST OF THE REGION AND THE SURFACE TROUGH APPROACHES
THE COAST. EXACT LOCATION OF THE SURFACE TOUGH WILL DETERMINE
PRECIP CHANCES AND NWP GUIDANCE HAS A TENDENCY TO BE TOO
AGGRESSIVE IN MOVING THESE SYSTEMS EAST. THE AIR MASS DRIES OUT
BEHIND THE UPPER TOUGH WITH PW VALUES FALLING TO LESS THAN 1.5
INCHES NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER AND CLOSE TO 2 INCHES NEAR THE SC
BORDER. WILL INCLUDE JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF MAINLY DIURNAL
CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY
WITH SEASONABLE HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S.

LEE TROUGHING DEVELOPS ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS A WEST TO
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS. THE AIR MASS MOISTENS A BIT AND
WITH INDICATIONS OF UPSTREAM CONVECTION ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND
GREAT LAKES...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ARE WARRANTED ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE
IN THE AMOUNT AND LOCATION OF CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS LACKING. -BLAES

&&

.AVIATION /17Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM WEDNESDAY...

SCATTERED CONVECTION AT THIS TIME WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ADVANCING NORTHEAST FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. CONVECTION
BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES THEN BECOMING
ISOLATED AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHES... WITH SOME SHOWERS PERSISTING TO
SUNRISE. SOME MVFR HAZE OR SMOKE THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD IN THE
SOUTHEAST... WITH AFTERNOON VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS OUTSIDE OF
SHOWERS CONFINED TO AREAS EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE. ISOLATED CONVECTION
AFTER SUNRISE THURSDAY BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS IN THE EARLY
AFTERNOON.

ABOVE NORMAL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
INTO FRIDAY BEFORE TAPERING OFF IN THE NORTHWEST SATURDAY. SHOWERS
LESS WIDESPREAD AND MAINLY AFTERNOON SUNDAY. SMOKE OR HAZE IN THE
SANDHILLS... COASTAL PLAIN AND EASTERN PIEDMONT AT TIMES... WITH
MVFR FOG AROUND SUNRISE EACH MORNING.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
