AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
315 PM EDT MON AUG 29 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF A POTENT UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE THAT WILL CROSS OUR FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...A SURFACE TROUGH WILL SETTLE FROM EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTH CAROLINA TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
BUILD ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 310 PM MONDAY...

THROUGH TONIGHT: THE APPROACH OF A 40-50 KT NORTHWESTERLY MID LEVEL
SPEED MAX THAT STRETCHED ACROSS THE TN VALLEY AND UPPER MIDWEST THIS
MORNING WILL HELP TO FURTHER AMPLIFY A POTENT MID-UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND NC LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THESE FEATURES WILL PROVIDE LARGE SCALE LIFT
AND INCREASE DEEP LAYER SHEAR -- THE LATTER FAVORABLY FOR STORM
ORGANIZATION INTO THE 30-40 KT RANGE -- ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGHOUT
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT HAS CONTINUED TO
ORGANIZE WITHIN THE CONVERGENCE AXIS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EARLIER
SURFACE PRESSURE TROUGH...WHICH WAS ANALYZED INVOF US HIGHWAY ONE AT
18Z...AND THIS FEATURE SHOULD SERVE AS THE WESTERN BOUND OF ANY
SEVERE STORMS. TO THE WEST...VEERING LOW LEVEL WINDS AND 10-15 KTS
OF H85 FLOW ACROSS THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE BOUNDARY...AMIDST
INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH ALOFT...HAS
PROMOTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELEVATED CONVECTION FROM A 7-10 THOUSAND
FT ALTOCUMULUS FIELD THAT DEVELOPED FROM CENTRAL VA TO WESTERN NC
EARLIER THIS MORNING. WHILE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WILL POSE A RISK
FROM THE ELEVATED CONVECTION DEVELOPING TOWARD THE TRIAD...THE
HIGHEST SEVERE THREAT WILL DEVELOP AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES EASTWARD
TOWARD THE WARM SECTOR AND ADDITIONAL...BOUNDARY LAYER-BASED
CONVECTION DEVELOPS INVOF THE SURFACE FRONT NEAR HIGHWAY ONE...WHERE
SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF TOWERING
CUMULUS. AN ATTENDING RISK OF DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL
ENSUE AS MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS AND PERHAPS EVEN A FEW TRANSIENT
SUPERCELLS SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR FROM AROUND THE
TRIANGLE EASTWARD. MARGINAL BUT SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL HELICITY ON THE
ORDER OF 100-200 M2/S2 ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY WILL ALSO
POSE A NON-ZERO RISK OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO...PARTICULARLY FROM NEAR
KRDU TO KEDE WHERE WHERE THE BAROCLINIC GENERATION OF VORTICITY IS
ALREADY MAXIMIZED BY A 10 DEGREE SURFACE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL
ALONG THAT CORRIDOR...AND WHERE OUTFLOW FROM SOUTHEASTERN VA
CONVECTION AND A SEA BREEZE FROM NE NC MAY PROVIDE FOR BOUNDARY
INTERACTION.

SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ARE FORECAST TO WANE BY THIS EVENING...SO
WHILE THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD SUBSIDE BY 9 OR 10 PM...THE ONLY SLOW
PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH COULD MAINTAIN A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS
PAST MIDNIGHT OVER THE SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN. LOWS SHOULD BE
HELD UP A BIT BY MULTI-LAYER CLOUD COVER...INCLUDING LOW STRATUS AND
AREAS OF FOG IN MOIST LOW LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW - GENERALLY 63 TO
69 DEGREES EXPECTED.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT: MORNING FOG AND STRATUS SHOULD DISPERSE
BY MID-MORNING AND GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS...AS COOLER
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO VA AND NC...BENEATH
SUBSIDENT MID-UPPER LEVEL RIDGING THAT WILL OVERSPREAD OUR FORECAST
AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE CURRENT EAST COAST TROUGH. HIGHS IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S. WHAT SHOULD BE EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS WITHIN THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO DIP IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S (WITH SOME UPPER 50S POSSIBLE IN
THE TYPICALLY COOLER OUTLYING AREAS)...WITH A RESULTANT PROBABILITY
OF PATCHY...PRE-DAWN RADIATION FOG.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM...

MODEL IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE MAJOR HEMISPHERIC FEATURES FOR THIS
PERIOD. EAST WEST RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWESTERN
UNITED STATES WEDNESDAY MORNING BUILDS UP THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
DURING THE DAY IN RESPONSE TO AN AN APPROACHING TROUGH INITIALLY
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE TROUGH THEN BEGINS TO SHIFT THE
RIDGE OVER THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE RIDGING
NOSING DOWN FROM NEW ENGLAND WILL KEEP MOSTLY NORTHEAST TO EAST
SURFACE FLOW OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. FORECAST WILL BE DRY WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF A LOW CONFIDENCE SLIGHT RAIN CHANCE FOR THURSDAY.
VERY SUBTLE FEATURE ON THE GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY FORECAST BY
THAT MODELS TO POTENTIALLY DRIVE SOME PRECIPITATION INTO THE AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY. HOWEVER THIS FEATURE IS ABSENT ON OTHER
MODELS OR MORE NORTH OR SLOWER IN SPEED.

PERSISTENCE FORECAST WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN AIR MASS OR FLOW AND
CLIMATOLOGICAL LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES... NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM...

MODELS IN ABOVE NORMAL AGREEMENT FOR FORECASTS SO FAR OUT IN TIME. A
WAVE IS FORECAST TO ROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE OFFSHORE LOW FRIDAY.
THE CURRENT 30 PERCENT RAIN CHANCE ACCEPTED AND MAY NEED TO BE
RAISED AS CONFIDENCE IN THE MODELS GROWS. THE UPPER RIDGE LEANS
TOWARD NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY BUT REMAINS WEST OF OUR AREA. THE AIR
MASS IS LARGELY MOIST ADIABATIC ALOFT WITH WEAK INSTABILITY AND
CAPE... AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS NEAR 1.5 INCHES. A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WITH AFTERNOON HEATING WILL BE INTRODUCED. THE AIR
MASS MOISTENS FOR SUNDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS AND DROPS TO
THE SOUTHEAST... AND RAIN CHANCES SUNDAY AFTERNOON PUSHED TO 40
PERCENT. WITH A MID WEST UPPER TROUGH DIVING TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY
MONDAY... INCREASING WINDS AND DYNAMICS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH SHOULD
RAISE RAIN CHANCES TO A COIN FLIP FOR MONDAY. AFTERNOON HIGH
TEMPERATURES MOSTLY MID 80S FRIDAY... UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S FOR THE
WEEKEND... AND MID 80S MONDAY. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES 65 TO 70.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM MONDAY...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THROUGH THIS
EVENING...IN ADVANCE OF A POTENT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHING
FROM THE WEST. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD LINGER THROUGH MIDNIGHT AT
KRWI AND KFAY. OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE OTHERWISE
EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT. THEREAFTER...NORTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL
FLOW AND ASSOCIATED TRANSPORT OF ATLANTIC MOISTURE WILL PROMOTE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF IFR TO LIFR STRATUS AND MVFR TO IFR FOG LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL LIFT...
SCATTER...AND GIVE WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS BY MID MORNING
TUESDAY...AS DRY AND STABLE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO RIDGE
ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION.

LOOKING AHEAD: MVFR TO IFR RADIATION FOG POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

&&

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
