Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 3:00 PM EDT, 3 hours 41 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
300 PM EDT SAT JUL 23 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER OUR REGION TODAY THEN
DRIFT WEST ON SUNDAY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HOT CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 255 PM...

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE
NORTHWEST PIEDMONT. WITH MINIMALLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
MINIMALLY DRIER AIR SUNDAY... NO WARNINGS AT THIS TIME... A HEAT
ADVISORY ROCKINGHAM EAST NORTHEAST TO GOLDSBORO.

DEWPOINTS IN PARTS OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DROPPED INTO THE MID
60S FRIDAY. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE TODAY ONCE AGAIN.

VORTICITY CENTER OVER THE VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS TO MOVE EAST
SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT... THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE EARLY TONIGHT WILL
WARRANT CHANCE POPS IN SPOTS WITH DECREASING COVERAGE LATE EVENING
BUT PERSISTING INTO THE LATE NIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES MID TO UPPER
70S.

A VERY MINOR DROP IN THICKNESS AND 850 MILLIBAR TEMPERATURES
FORECAST BY THE MODELS FOR SUNDAY. PRESSURE HEIGHTS FALL SUNDAY
AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO A BROAD TROUGH MOVING THROUGH NEW ENGLAND
AND THE MID ATLANTIC STATES SUNDAY AFTERNOON. FORECAST VERTICAL
AIR MASS PROFILES LITTLE CHANGED FROM THAT OF TODAY. WITH THE BEST
WINDS AGAIN OVER THE SOUTH AND EAST... THESE AREAS SLIGHTLY
PREFERRED FOR AFTERNOON CONVERGENCE AND CONVECTION... BUT CHANCES
REMAIN SLIGHT AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES PERHAPS TO TAKE ANOTHER
DEGREE FALL FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY. DEWPOINTS AGAIN MAY SLIP INTO
THE MID 60S IN SPOTS. CURRENT FORECAST WOULD JUSTIFY A HEAT
ADVISORY FOR PARTS OF OUR EXTREME SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. AFTERNOON
HIGH TEMPERATURES MID 90S TO NEAR 100. MOSTLY MID 70S FOR LOWER
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...

MON AND MON NIGHT: THE RETROGRESSION OF THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE...AND
ASSOCIATED HEIGHT FALLS ATTENDING A MID LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM
THE BASE OF AN UPPER LOW FORECAST TO AMPLIFY ACROSS SOUTHERN
CANADA...WILL RESULT IN IMPROVED FORCING AND DEEP MOISTURE AND
CONSEQUENT INCREASED PROBABILITY/COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS PERIOD. PROJECTED LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES IN THE
1435 TO 1445 METER RANGE WOULD SUPPORT HIGH TEMPERATURES STILL IN
THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S...BUT THE AFOREMENTIONED INCREASING DEEP
LAYER MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED CLOUDS/STORMS INSTEAD FAVOR TEMPS 2-3
DEGREES LOWER ON AVERAGE...GENERALLY IN THE 92 TO 97 DEGREE RANGE.

TUE AND TUE NIGHT: THE CONSENSUS OF NWP GUIDANCE INDICATES THE MID
LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AND ASSOCIATED MOIST AXIS -- AND THE ATTENDING
SURFACE TROUGH/CONVERGENCE AXIS -- WILL DRIFT SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS
THE SANDHILLS...SOUTHERN PIEDMONT...AND CENTRAL-SOUTHERN COASTAL
PLAIN TUE AFTERNOON...WHERE SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE MOST LIKELY
TO DEVELOP. TO THE NORTH...ROUGHLY NORTH OF HWY 64...DEEP LAYER
DRYING AND LIGHT NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD RESULT PARTLY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND LESS THAN 15 PERCENT CHANCE OF STORMS. THIS
SHOULD ALSO BE THE LEAST HOT PORTION OF THE FORECAST...WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 235 PM SATURDAY...

MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE
RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
REGION THIS PERIOD. AS SUCH...TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB STEADILY FROM
THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S WED TO UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES
FRI-SAT...WITH LIMITED DIURNAL CONVECTIVE COVERAGE OVER CENTRAL NC.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 205 PM...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 64 AT
THIS TIME WITH OTHER SHOWERS TO ADVECT INTO THE TRIAD AREA FROM
THE WEST AND NORTHWEST SHORTLY. VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE THESE
SHOWERS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME MVFR
HAZE OR FOG NEAR SUNRISE WHERE RAINS ARE HEAVIEST THIS AFTERNOON.
SHOWERS WILL DECREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER 11 PM WITH A FEW SHOWERS
PERSISTING WELL PAST MIDNIGHT. GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH
TODAY IN DOWNDRAFTS... WELL AWAY FROM ANY STORMS.

SIMILAR CONDITIONS FORECAST FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON... THEN
