AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1135 PM EDT FRI APR 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DRIFT SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN NORTH CAROLINA
OVERNIGHT. THE FRONT WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY OVER WESTERN AND
SOUTHERN SECTIONS SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1135 PM FRIDAY...

THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING CONTINUE TO
MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN. THE MAIN HAZARDS CONTINUE TO BE
SMALL HAIL... BRIEF HEAVY RAIN... AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

UPSTREAM IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT... NUMEROUS CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS
WERE CONSOLIDATING INTO A LINE EXTENDING FROM SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA
SE TO NEAR MOUNT AIRY TO DANVILLE. THIS LINE WAS MOVING RAPIDLY SE
AT 50 MPH. THE MAIN THREATS AGAIN WILL BE HAIL AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING... ALONG WITH SOME TRAINING OF HEAVY RAIN. THE
REASONING... THE SURFACE COLD FRONT HAD PUSHED SOUTH AND EXTENDED
FROM WILKESBORO... TO ASHEBORO... TO LAURINBURG AND CLINTON.
THEREFORE... THE REGION NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY WAS IN THE COOL STABLE
SURFACE AIR... CONVECTION IS DRIVEN BY THE POSITIVE VORTICITY
ADVECTION AND INSTABILITY ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH VORTICITY MAXIMUM
OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS MOVING EAST TOWARD CENTRAL NC.
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET DAMAGING WINDS OR TORNADOES DEEP INTO
THE COOL STABLE AIR. TEMPS WERE ALREADY NEAR 50 NORTH AND MID 60S AT
FAY AND GSB.

AS THE NEW LINE APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH... THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL
CONTINUE TO STABILIZE. THIS LINE... FOLLOWING NEARLY THE SAME PATH
OF THE EARLIER ONE... WILL GRADUALLY WEAK WITH TIME. BRIEF HEAVY
RAIN AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE... ALONG WITH FREQUENT CG
LIGHTNING... UNTIL THE LINE WEAKENS AFTER 200 AM. WE WILL KEEP
LIKELY POP NORTH AND CHANCE POP FAR SOUTH OVERNIGHT. LOWS 48-60 N TO
SW.

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM FRIDAY...

WHILE MODEL GUIDANCE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH A MODERATELY MOIST
AIR MASS IN PLACE AND A SERIES OF MID/UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
CROSSING THE REGION NW-SE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MODEL
GUIDANCE DO VARY CONCERNING A FEW DETAILS.

MODELS APPEAR TO BE KEYING ON CONVECTIVE FORECAST TO ERUPT TONIGHT
OVER NORTHERN MO TO CONTINUE EAST WITH CONVECTIVELY INDUCED VORT MAX
DROP SEWD ACROSS OUR REGION LATE SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. BEST
LOW LEVEL CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS AS FAR AS INSTABILITY AND SHEAR
WILL LIE IMMEDIATELY TO OUR W-SW ACROSS UPSTATE SC INTO WESTERN NC.
HOWEVER GRADIENT WILL EXTEND ACROSS OUR WESTERN AND SOUTHERN
PIEDMONT. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A GRADUATION IN POPS FROM SLIGHT/SMALL
CHANCE OVER THE FAR NE (WHERE THE AIR MASS WILL BE MORE STABLE AND
NOT AS MOIST) TO HIGH CHANCE OVER THE SW (CLOSER PROXIMITY TO
LIFT/MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY). DUE TO THE STRENGTH OF THE MID LEVEL
WINDS...ORGANIZED BANDS OF CONVECTION PROBABLE. POTENTIAL FOR A FEW
SEVERE STORMS WITH MAIN THREAT DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.

CONVECTION MAY PERSIST WELL INTO SATURDAY EVENING BEFORE
DISSIPATING LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.

TEMPS SATURDAY DEPENDENT ON DEPTH/EXTENT OF COOL STABLE LAYER AT THE
SURFACE. NAM DEPICTS MORE DEPTH TO STABLE LAYER COMPARED TO GFS.
THIS HAS LED TO A WIDE DISPARITY IN MAX TEMPS IN THE TRIAD WITH MOS
GUIDANCE VARYING AS MUCH AS 18 DEGREES. BELIEVE THERE IS SOME
CREDENCE TO THE NAM BUT CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GO ALL OUT.
BLENDED TEMP GUIDANCE OVER THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT. STILL...EXPECT MAX
TEMPS TO VARY MID/UPPER 60S FAR N-NE TO THE LOWER 80S FAR SW.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...

AS HEIGHTS BUILD ALOFT ON SUNDAY AND A THE UPEPR RIDGE BUILDS NORTH
ALONG THE EAST COAST...VEERING LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW WILL WARM
TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE LOW 80S BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  NEWER
GUIDANCE INDICATES THE REMNANT SHALLOW WEDGE-LIKE AIRMASS WILL BE
SLOWER TO MIX OUT...MEANING SLOWER EROSION OF CLOUD COVER FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AND HIGHS A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN
PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. SHOULD KEEP A MODEST SLP GRADIENT AND MIXING
OVER THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT AS STORM SYSTEM BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE TO
OUR WEST.  MILD LOWS IN THE MID 60S.

WILL SEE INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ON MONDAY AS A STORM SYSTEM
LIFTS OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND THE UPPER
RIDGE IS SHUNTED EAST. THE ATTENDANT COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING
THROUGH THE TN VALLEY REGION BY LATE AFTERNOON  SOME DISPARITY IN
THE NAM/GFS GUST POTENTIAL WITH THE NAM SHOWING 25-30KT AND THE GFS
GIVING UP TO 35-40KT IN THE MIXED LAYER.  A PREFRONTAL LEE TROUGH IS
LIKELY TO FORM OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AND SHOULD BE THE ONLY
FOCUS FOR CONVECTION PRIOR TO 00Z AND THE OVERNIGHT FRONTAL
PASSAGE.  NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW DEWPOINTS MIXING OUT INTO THE
LOW TO MID 50S MONDAY AFTERNOON AND HIGH CLOUDS SPREADING OVER THE
WESTERN PIEDMONT...WHICH WOULD LIMIT DESTABILIZATION PRIOR TO THE
ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND COOLING ALOFT.  HAVE TRIMMED BACK
POPS MAINLY WEST OF HWY 1 THROUGH 00Z...INCREASING TO 40 PERCENT CWA
WIDE OVERNIGHT AS MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE LIMITED MOISTURE WITH
THIS SYSTEM.  HIGHS MONDAY 82-87 WEST TO EAST. LOWS 56-62.

HAVE KEPT HIGHS WARMER IN THE MID/UPPER 70S TUESDAY UNTIL THE
SECONDARY PUSH OF COOLER AIR ARRIVES AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT.  THIS MORE SEASONABLE AIRMASS IS
FORECAST TO SETTLE OVER THE THE CWA THROUGH MIDWEEK...AS THE
LONGWAVE PATTERN BEGINS TO AMPLIFY OVER THE CONUS.  THIS
AMPLIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO SLOW DOWN THE NEXT SYSTEM WHICH IS
FORECAST TO REACH THE MS VALLEY REGION FRIDAY.  HIGHS GENERALLY
LOW/MID 70S.  LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 930 PM FRIDAY...

CHALLENGING FORECAST NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH PERIODS OF UNSETTLED
WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A WEAK FRONT STRETCHING FROM JUST
SOUTHEAST OF KINT TO SOUTH OF KRDU TO SOUTH OF KRWI. AS A WEAK MID
LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE REGION THIS EVENING...IT WILL INTERACT WITH
A MODERATELY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS SOUTH OF THIS FRONT (KFAY)
RESULTING IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A POSSIBLY A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...SOME THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY (KINT...KGSO...KRDU...KRWI)...BUT THESE ARE
EXPECTED TO MOSTLY REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS AS A MORE STABLE AIR
MASS IS LOCATED AT THE SURFACE. WHILE GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THIS EVENING....BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE
IN THE VICINITY OF ANY SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE PRECIP
DIMINISHES LATER TONIGHT...A STABLE AND MOIST AIR MASS SHOULD
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS
WITH POCKETS OF LIFR CEILINGS/FOG. VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS WILL
SLOWLY LIFT SATURDAY MORNING...WITH VFR CONDITIONS RETURNING BY LATE
MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON.

HOWEVER...ANOTHER CONVECTIVE THREAT WILL OCCUR ACROSS CENTRAL
NC...MAINLY THE WEST HALF...LATE SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS
ANOTHER MID LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE REGION. THIS WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY MVFR/IFR CEILINGS. A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY PRODUCE
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

STABLE AND WARM AIR MASS OVER THE REGION SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. A
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AND CROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY TUESDAY. STRONG SW WINDS EXPECTED MONDAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WITH A BAND OF CONVECTION ALONG THE FRONT MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
