AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1040 AM EDT MON JUL 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN...ALLOWING A WEAK UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH TO MOVE EAST THROUGH OUR REGION THROUGH TUESDAY. STRONG
RIDGING ALOFT WILL REBUILD OVER THE AREA BY THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1040 AM MONDAY...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...
LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A SFC TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWEST FROM NEAR
THE KDCA AREA ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN PIEDMONT INTO NORTHEAST GA. A
BETTER DEFINED FRONTAL ZONE STRETCHED FROM THE DELMARVA PENINSULA
THROUGH A WEAK SFC LOW NEAR KDCA TO NEAR LAKE ONTARIO AND THEN
WESTWARD. A BROAD AREA OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDED WEST ACROSS THE
SUBTROPICAL ATLANTIC INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. WV SAT IMAGERY
THIS MORNING SHOWED MULTIPLE DISTURBANCES IN THE MID/UPPER
TROPOSPHERE INCLUDING A SHEAR AXIS OFF THE CAROLINA COAST AND A
LARGER DISTURBANCE EXTENDING FROM LAKE ONTARIO SOUTHWEST TO THE
WESTERN APPALACHIANS. MORNING RAOBS INDICATED A VERY MOIST
ATMOSPHERE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 2.0 AND 2.25
INCHES AT KGSO/KMHX.

EXPECT SEVERAL MORE HOURS WITHOUT CONVECTION INTO THE EARLY AFTN AS
CENTRAL NC REMAINS IN BETWEEN TWO SHEAR AXIS AND WEAK SHORT WAVE
RIDGING IS IN PLACE. DURING THE MID AFTERNOON THE DISTURBANCE ACROSS
THE APPALACHIANS WILL SHIFT EAST AND CONVECTION WILL REACH AND MOVE
EAST OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE APPALACHIANS. EXPECT CONVECTION
TO BE MOST WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS/WESTERN PIEDMONT
INITIALLY WITH SCT CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN.
THIS GENERAL SCENARIO IS WELL ADVERTISED WITH VARIOUS HIGH
RESOLUTION WRF SIMULATIONS WHICH SHOW A LOOSELY ORGANIZED AXIS OF
GREATER CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY THAT SHIFTS SOUTHEAST THIS AFTN AND
EVENING. THE CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS SHOULD HAVE AN EASTWARD MOTION
WHICH SHOULD LIMIT BUT NOT PRECLUDE ANY FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL AS
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOISTURE LADEN. MAIN THREAT FROM CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON WILL FOCUS AROUND WET MICROBURSTS WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS AND SOME FLASH FLOODING ACROSS URBAN AREAS AND LOCATIONS THAT
EXPERIENCED HEAVY RAIN DURING THE PREVIOUS DAYS.

LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES THIS MORNING WERE 5 TO 10M LOWER THAN
SUNDAY WITH SOME VERY SIGHT COOL ADVECTION AT 850/700 MB. WITH THE
MID LEVEL RIDGE SHIFTING WEST...TEMPS TODAY SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES
COOLER THAN YESTERDAY. DESPITE THE COOLER TEMPS...DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOW 70S WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDECIES AROUND 105 FOR A TIME THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND THE SANDHILLS. WILL
KEEP THE CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY AS IS.

SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO LESSEN IN COVERAGE FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST TONIGHT... AS THE WEAK TROUGH ALOFT AND SURFACE TROUGH
BEGIN TO SLOWLY MOVE SOUTH/SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NC. WE MAY
EVEN SEE A GOOD BIT OF CLEARING WORK INTO NORTH/NORTHWESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT. IF THIS HAPPENS THEN WE MAY SOME
AREAS OF FOG DEVELOP. EXPECT LOWS TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 70S NORTH
TO THE MID TO UPPER 70S SOUTHEAST.

TUESDAY...
DRIER AIR ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY FILTER INTO THE AREA FROM
THE NORTH ON TUESDAY. GIVEN THIS AND ANY WEAK SURFACE TROUGHING
EXPECTED TO BE LOCATED SOUTH/SOUTHEAST... WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS
LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN/SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NC. ANY
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL AGAIN BE FROM DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS
AND LOCALIZE FLOODING (MAINLY URBAN). HIGHS TEMPS TUESDAY AREA
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S.  BLAES/BSD

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 AM MONDAY...

FOR TUESDAY NIGHT: EXPECT THE TUESDAY AFTERNOON CONVECTION TO HAVE
PUSHED INTO THE FAR SOUTHEAST SECTIONS OF CENTRAL NC BY EVENING...
FOLLOWED BY A TREND TO NO POPS SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AS WE LOSE
UPPER SUPPORT FOR ASCENT FROM THE UPPER JET PUSHING EAST OFF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST. THE SUBSIDING EFFECTS OF THIS EXITING UPPER
DIVERGENCE WILL BE AUGMENTED BY RAPIDLY RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT... AS
THE MID LEVEL LOW OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC SHIFTS EAST TO THE MARITIMES
WITH ITS SOUTHWARD-EXTENDING TROUGH MOVING OFF OUR COAST. THIS WILL
ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE SOUTHWARD-PUSHING 850 MB TROUGH WITH
LOWER THETA-E AIR PUSHING IN FROM THE NORTH. MODELS DIFFER ON CLOUD
COVER WITH THE NAM HOLDING QUITE A BIT OF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS OVER
THE AREA. SUCH CLOUDINESS APPEARS REASONABLE WITH WEAK STEERING IN
THIS LAYER CAPPED BY STABILIZING AIR... BUT WILL TEMPER THE NAM
SOLUTION BY LOWERING COVERAGE. ENOUGH COOLING SHOULD TAKE PLACE THEN
TO ALLOW PATCHES OF FOG TO FORM OVERNIGHT. LOWS 70-75.

FOR WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT: HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO RISE STEADILY
ALOFT AS THE TROUGH WEAKENS FURTHER WITH RIDGING BUILDING OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS... LOWER MISS VALLEY... MID SOUTH/GULF STATES... AND
SOUTHEAST. MODELS GENERATE PATCHY LOW QPF OVER CENTRAL/SOUTHERN NC
AS THE 850 MB TROUGH BEGINS TO HEAD BACK TO THE NNW AND
DISSIPATES... ALLOWING THETA-E VALUES TO REBOUND AS THE PIEDMONT
SURFACE TROUGH BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED. BUT WITH THE MID-UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING EASTWARD THROUGH NC WITH LIGHT FLOW THROUGH THE
COLUMN... LOW PRECIP WATER... AND A LACK OF FORCING FEATURES... WILL
KEEP THE FORECAST DRY. HIGHS 93-96... IN LINE WITH ABOVE-NORMAL
REBOUNDING THICKNESSES... AND LOWS 71-75. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 235 AM MONDAY...

FOR THURSDAY/FRIDAY: WHILE THE GFS PLACES A WEAK SHEAR AXIS ACROSS
NC AND BRINGS CONVECTION BACK INTO SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL NC BOTH DAYS... THE ECMWF/CANADIAN AS WELL AS THE ECMWF
ENSEMBLE MEAN ALL STRENGTHEN THE ANTICYCLONE CENTER OVER THE
SOUTHEAST COAST... RESULTING IN A DRIER COLUMN AND LITTLE TO NO
PRECIP DESPITE THE LINGERING PIEDMONT SURFACE TROUGH. THIS LATTER
SCENARIO WITH ITS MORE BROAD SUPPORT IS FAVORED. THICKNESSES RISE
FURTHER... TO 15 METERS ABOVE NORMAL THURSDAY AND 20-25 METERS ABOVE
NORMAL FRIDAY... AND FORECAST HIGHS OF 94-98 AND 96-101 RESPECTIVELY
STILL LOOKS FINE. LOWS MAINLY IN THE MID 70S. SEE CLIMATE SECTION
BELOW FOR RECORDS.

FOR SATURDAY/SUNDAY: SHORTWAVE ENERGY TRACKING EASTWARD WITHIN THE
FAST FLOW OVER SOUTHERN CANADA ALLOWS A SUPPRESSION OF THE RIDGING
TO OUR SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST AS BAGGY TROUGHING REDEVELOPS OVER
EASTERN NOAM. THE FALLING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL COMBINE WITH WEAK BUT
INCREASING UPPER DIVERGENCE OVER NC... IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION
OF A JET WHOSE CENTER TRAVERSES THE ADIRONDACKS/WHITE MOUNTAINS...
AND SLOWLY DEEPENING MOISTURE TO LEAD TO SCATTERED (IF NOT NUMEROUS)
SHOWERS AND STORMS... FOCUSED EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THICKNESSES DIP A BIT WITH EXPECTATIONS OF GREATER CLOUD COVER...
YET THEY REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL. HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID 90S WITH
LOWS IN THE MID 70S. -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 735 AM MONDAY...

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF LINGER ISOLATED
SHOWERS THIS MORNING AND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
STORMS TO DEVELOP AROUND MIDDAY AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING ACROSS
THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO JUST CARRY CB IN THE TAFS FOR NOW. DRIER
AIR ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO WORK INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA LATE ON MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING. IF WE ARE ABLE TO CLEAR
OFF SOME ACROSS THE NORTH... EXPECT WE COULD HAVE SOME MVFR/IFR
VISBYS.

ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS TUESDAY AFTERNOON IS EXPECTED TO BE
MOSTLY CONFINED TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA. CONVECTION CHANCES DWINDLE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THE AIR
MASS DRIES OUT AND BECOME A LITTLE MORE STABLE. SIMILAR TO THE PAST
FEW MORNINGS...EXPECT A 2 TO 4 HOUR WINDOW OF MVFR VISIBILITY IN FOG
OR HAZE AROUND SUNRISE.
