AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
325 PM EDT MON JUL 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL RETREAT WEST THROUGH TUESDAY
ALLOWING AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. STRONG
RIDGING ALOFT WILL REBUILD OVER THE AREA BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK
RESULTING IN A RETURN TO VERY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS.

&&

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

TONIGHT...
LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A SFC TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWEST FROM A
SFC LOW NEAR FREDERICKSBURG VA ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT/FOOTHILLS
REGION OF VA AND NC. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS FAIRLY
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND
FOOTHILLS. OTHER SCT CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN.

LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS A FAIRLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS THE
REGION WITH MLCAPE VALUES RANGING BETWEEN 2-3K J/KG WITH THE
GREATEST INSTABILITY ACROSS THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE ANEMIC AND SHEAR IS LACKING. PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES RANGE BETWEEN 2.0 AND 2.25. DEEP LAYER WINDS ARE MORE
UNIDIRECTIONAL TODAY AND FROM THE WEST WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH
PUSH TO KEEP STORMS MOVING AND REDUCE THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING.
IN GENERAL THE SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS ARE DOWN A NOTCH FROM
SUNDAY ALTHOUGH SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY IS PRESENT FOR WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION AND SOME ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED.
THE 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.

EXPECT CONVECTION TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS WITH THE GREATEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SHIFTING EASTWARD DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. THE CONVECTION MAY
PERSIST INTO THE MID TO LATE EVENING HOURS WITH THE GREATEST
COVERAGE ACROSS THE EASTERN PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN. INCLUDED
HIGH CHC TO LIKELY POPS FOR MOST OF CWA TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD GRADUALLY BECOME LESS NUMEROUS LATE THIS
EVENING AND WEAKEN WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING AND MARGINAL FORCING.
EXPECT A GOOD AMOUNT OF CLOUDINESS OVERNIGHT WITH FAIRLY DEEP MEAN
MOISTURE. IF SKIES CLEAR MORE THAN EXPECTED...SOME AREA OF FOG ARE
LIKELY. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT SHOULD RANGE IN THE 70-75 RANGE.

THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT EAST AND SOUTHEAST ON TUESDAY
REACHING THE WESTERN CAROLINAS DURING THE MORNING. THIS WILL ALLOW
DRIER AIR TO MOVE INTO NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA
DURING THE DAY WHICH WILL RESULT IN DECREASING CLOUDINESS. NWP
GUIDANCE IS FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE TROUGH AXIS
AND FORCING FOR ASCENT ON TUESDAY WHICH NECESSITATES AT LEAST CHC
POPS ACROSS THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. WITH SLIGHT
COOL ADVECTION AND COOLER LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES...HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD RANGE ONLY IN THE LOWER 90S. THE SVR THREAT FOR TUES WILL BE
CONFINED TO THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES AND SHOULD BE LIMITED TO ISOLATED
WIND DAMAGE FROM WET MICROBURSTS. -BLAES

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 310 PM MONDAY...

THE PROXIMITY INVOF THE COAST OF THE CAROLINAS OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL
TROUGH FORECAST TO SETTLE SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH NC ON
TUE...SHOULD MAINTAIN GENERALLY BROKEN ALTOCUMULUS OVER THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN CWFA TUE NIGHT. MOSTLY CLEAR ELSEWHERE. LOWS 68 TO 74.
THE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL MOIST AXIS SHOULD DRIFT IN A
CYCLONIC LOOP WESTWARD AROUND THE MID LEVEL RIDGE FORECAST TO BUILD
QUICKLY OVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION WED AND WED NIGHT. THE
RELATIVE PROXIMITY OF THE TROUGH/MOIST AXIS WARRANT A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF DIURNAL STORMS NEAR THE SC BORDER WED AFTERNOON. THE EXPANSION OF
THE RIDGE ALOFT WILL ALSO HERALD THE BEGINNINGS OF HEATING
TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE 90S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM MONDAY...

MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST A REPEAT PERFORMANCE OF
HEAT THROUGH SAT -- THOUGH WITH AN INCREASE IN MODEL SOLUTION SPREAD
REGARDING THE FORECAST POSITIONING AND STRENGTH OF THE SUB-TROPICAL
RIDGE INVOF THE CAROLINAS -- FOLLOWED BY RIDGE RETROGRESSION AND
RESULTANT LESS HOT TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED PROBABILITY OF STORMS
OVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION SUN-MON. THIS PROJECTED TRANSITIONAL
PATTERN IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE OF RECENT DAYS.

THU-SAT NIGHT: VERY HOT TEMPERATURES ARE ACCORDINGLY EXPECTED IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S THU...FOLLOWED BY UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S
FRI-SAT. PRECIPITATION CHANCES STILL LOOK QUITE LOW GIVEN THE
PRESENCE OF THE OVERHEAD SUBSIDENT RIDGE ALOFT. HOWEVER...THE
INCREASED MODEL SPREAD REGARDING THE POSITIONING OF THE RIDGE SEEMS
IN PART A FUNCTION OF AN INVERTED MID LEVEL TROUGH/MOIST AXIS WITHIN
A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE OVER THE APPALACHIANS...WHICH COULD PROVIDE
ADEQUATE MOISTURE AND LIFT FOR A FEW LATE AFTERNOON STORMS BY FRI
AND ESPECIALLY SAT.

SUN-MON: HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S...AMIDST TROUGH
AMPLIFICATION ALOFT AND INCREASING CLOUD AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
STORM COVERAGE INVOF A DIFFUSING FRONTAL ZONE OVER THE MIDDLE
ATLANTIC STATES SUN-MON.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM MONDAY...

SCT TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTN AND EVENING
ACROSS CENTRAL NC. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS ACROSS
THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS EARLY THIS AFTN WITH THE
BULK OF THE ACTIVITY TRANSITIONING EAST WITH TIME DURING THE
EVENING. WILL INCLUDE A MENTION OF CB IN THE TAFS FOR THE FIRST 4 OR
SO HOURS WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THE CONVECTION WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE PAST 00Z WHICH WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL UPDATES. PERIODS OF
MVFR TO IFR VSBYS AND MVFR CIGS CAN BE EXPECTED IN STORMS. SKIES
WILL CLEAR SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT AND WITH THE ADDITION OF PRECIPITATION
TODAY THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME FOG OVERNIGHT. WILL INCLUDE A
BRIEF MENTION OF FOG FOR MOST LOCATIONS - THIS WILL NEED TO BE
EXAMINED BY LATER SHIFTS TO LOOK AT CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION.

THREAT THUNDERSTORMS ON TUES WILL BE LIMITED TO NEAR KFAY AND
POSSIBLY KRDU/KRWI. DRIER AND MORE STABLE CONDITIONS SHOULD INHIBIT
THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANY THUNDERSTORMS ON WED AND THU WITH THE
THREAT OF CONVECTION INCREASING ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. PERIODS OF
MVFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED IN THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLY DURING
SOME BRIEF EARLY MORNING FOG. -BLAES
