Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 7:54 AM EDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
754 AM EDT TUE APR 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THIS
MORNING. BEHIND THE FRONT... HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE
CAROLINAS FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 725 AM MONDAY...

THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE
FOOTHILLS OF NORTH CAROLINA. AREA OF CONVECTION CURRENTLY EXITING
THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN WITH AN HOUR OR SO LONG AREA OF
STRATIFORM RAIN BEHIND THE CONVECTION. A BREAK IN THE PRECIP IS
FOLLOWED BY AND AREA OF SCT LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
COLD FRONT. THESE SHOWERS WERE MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT AT DAYBREAK.

EXPECT THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORM TO END IN THE NEXT HOUR WITH SCT
SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT THIS MORNING. NAM/GFS AND HIGH RES WRF MODELS INDICATE
ALL OF THE PRECIP SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AFTER
MIDDAY. SKIES WILL CLEAR SOMEWHAT BUT DEEP MIXING THIS AFTERNOON
MAY ALLOW A LAYER OF SCT-BKN CU TO DEVELOP AROUND 5K FEET.
GRADIENT BEHIND THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS AT
15-20KTS WITH A FEW GUSTS OVER 30S KTS THIS AFTERNOON. MAX TEMPS
IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S IN THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN PIEDMONT SEEM
REASONABLE WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN AND
SANDHILLS REGION. -BLAES
&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 725 AM MONDAY...

RETURN TO A MORE TRANQUIL WEATHER PATTERN THIS PERIOD WITH A
COMMENCEMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND ON THURSDAY.

SURFACE HIGH OVER THE DEEP SOUTH WILL BUILD AND EXTEND INTO
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY. BLUSTERY WINDS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL DROP OFF APPRECIABLY BY LATE TUESDAY
EVENING AS AIR MASS COOLS AND STABILIZES. AIR MASS RELATIVELY DRY
WITH DEWPOINT SPREADS OVERNIGHT VARYING FROM ABOUT 10 DEGREES IN
THE WEST TO ABOUT 5 DEGREES IN THE COASTAL PLAIN. WOULD PREFER TO
SEE A NARROWER RANGE FOR WIDESPREAD FROST FORMATION...ESPECIALLY
IN THE WEST. LOCALES WHERE WINDS DECOUPLE INITIALLY WILL STAND THE
BEST CHANCE OF SEEING A DECENT FROST. HAVE ADDED PATCHY FORECAST
TO GRIDS AND WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT IN HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES 33 TO 38.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...SURFACE RIDGE DRIFTS EAST SOUTHEAST BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ESTABLISH A LOW LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW
OVER THE REGION. THE RELATIVELY DRY AIR MASS AND SOUTHWEST FLOW
WILL AID TO MODIFY AIR MASS QUICKLY. AFTER A CHILLY START TO THE
DAY... AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE MID 60S TO AROUND
70... JUST SHY OF NORMAL FOR EARLY APRIL. NOT AS CHILLY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS LIGHT SOUTH SOUTHWEST FLOW MAY OCCUR AND PATCHES OF
MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS PROJECTED TO TRAVERSE WEST TO EAST
ACROSS OUR REGION. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE MID 40S.
ON THURSDAY...AIR MASS CONTINUES TO MODIFY AS THICKNESSES INCREASE
ABOUT 20 METERS FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. CONTINUED SOUTHWEST FLOW
AND RELATIVELY DRY AIR MASS WILL PUSH AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES INTO
THE MID 70S MOST SPOTS.

&&

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

A VERY WARM PERIOD SHAPING UP FOR MOST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
THIS PERIOD AS UPPER AIR PATTERN CHARACTERIZED BY A MINOR UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES AND A DEEP CLOSED LOW OVER
THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. THIS TYPE OF PATTERN SUGGEST AN ACTIVE
WEATHER REGIME FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES INTO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. A
DISTURBANCE IN THIS ACTIVE FLOW TO OUR NORTH MAY DRAG A BACKDOOR
FRONT INTO NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA ON SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY.
SOME QUESTION STILL ON HOW FAR SOUTH THIS FEATURE MIGRATES INTO
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGES NOT OVERLY
SHARP BUT DOES MAINTAIN POSITION OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED
STATES/FLORIDA PENINSULA THROUGH THE PERIOD. PLAN TO SHOW SOME
COOLING OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST SUNDAY (THOUGH IF 12Z GFS
VERIFIES...COOLING MORE PRONOUNCED SATURDAY OVER THE NORTHERN
COASTAL PLAIN WITH WARMING TREND OCCURRING ON SUNDAY).

DUE TO VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY...WILL MAINTAIN A SLIGHT
CHANCE TO SMALL CHANCE POP OVER THE NORTHERN THIRD LATE SATURDAY
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.

MAIN WEATHER STORY WILL BE THE ABNORMALLY WARM TEMPERATURES. LOW
LEVEL THICKNESSES RISE INTO THE 1400 TO 1410 METER RANGE THIS
WEEKEND. THIS SUPPORTS MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ABOUT 15 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. RECORD MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES DO NOT APPEAR LIKELY AT THIS
TIME AS RECORD MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER
90S DURING THIS PERIOD.

MONDAY...FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE WESTERN UNITED STATES
LOW APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. GFS ABOUT 6 HOURS FASTER THAN 00Z
ECMWF AT THIS TIME. KEPT POPS NO HIGHER THAN 20 PERCENT AT THIS
TIME. CONTINUED VERY WARM MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 745 AM TUESDAY...

A STRONG COLD FRONT WAS CROSSING THE TRIAD REGION AT 730 AM. THE
SURFACE WINDS SHIFT ABRUPTLY FROM THE S-SW TO THE NW WITH GUSTS
BETWEEN 32-40 KTS COMMON. THE FRONT SHOULD REACH THE TRIANGLE AREA
AND FAYETTEVILLE BETWEEN 10 AND 11 AM...AND THE KRWI VICINITY AROUND
11 AM. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT...CEILINGS WILL LIFT INTO THE
LOW END OF VFR CATEGORY WITH CLOUD BASES BETWEEN 4000-6000FT. AS
DRIER AIR OVERSPREADS THE REGION LATER TODAY...CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH AFTER 5 PM.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. WINDS WILL SUBSIDE
BETWEEN 7 AND 10 PM TO 5 KTS OR LESS. VFR CONDITIONS PROJECTED
ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

VFR CONDITIONS GENERALLY EXPECTED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THOUGH THERE
COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CEILINGS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
SATURDAY DUE TO CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK FRONT THAT MAY DRIFT
INTO THE NORTHERN COUNTIES.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AS OF 1005 PM MONDAY...

COOLER AND DRIER AIR ARRIVES TUESDAY AFTERNOON... WITH WINDS
BLUSTERY ONCE AGAIN... SUSTAINED AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS GUSTING TO 25 TO
30 KNOTS. WITH RH VALUES BOTTOMING OUT AT 30 TO 40 PERCENT... FIRE
DANGER WILL AGAIN BE ELEVATED. WILL EVALUATE THE NEED FOR INCREASED
FIRE DANGER STATEMENT OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. -GIH/RTE
