AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
620 PM EDT SAT APR 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT OVER WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND NORTHERN SOUTH
CAROLINA WILL REMAIN STATIONARY THROUGH TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL HEAD
BACK TO THE NORTHEAST AS A WARM FRONT EARLY SUNDAY... AND RESULTING
WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND VERY WARM TEMPERATURES MONDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL
SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA LATE MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 620 PM SATURDAY...

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #114 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM - FOR
STANLY AND ANSON COUNTIES IN THE NC SOUTHERN PIEDMONT...

MCS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE
EVENING HOURS...WITH ALL GUIDANCE SUGGESTIVE OF GOOD SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND IT. SINCE 17Z...MORE STABLE AIR HAS PUSHED FARTHER SOUTHWEST
BACK THROUGH THE TRIAD BASED ON MSAS INFORMATION...WHILE THE
GRADIENT OF SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY AND THETA-E REMAINS FIRM
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST PIEDMONT. PURE EXTRAPOLATION OF LIGHTNING AND
RADAR DATA SHOWS THE MCS TO BE MOVING QUICKLY SOUTHEAST...AND SOME
OF THE HRRR WRF INFORMATION SHOWS THE PRECIPITATION TO BE ALMOST ALL
THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA BY 03Z OR 04Z. IN FACT...THE VERY
LATEST HRRR WOULD INDICATE RAIN LINGERING LONGEST OVER THE NORTHERN
COASTAL PLAIN...CLOSER TO THE TRACK OF THE MCV.

THE SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES TO BE GREATEST IN THE GRADIENT OF
INSTABILITY...OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST PIEDMONT. THE FRONT SHOULD
REMAIN WEST AND SOUTH OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA OVERNIGHT...AND IN
FACT HAVE RECENTLY SEEN ON SOME OBSERVATIONS THE WIND BACKING IN
PARTS OF NORTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA TOWARD KFLO AND KMAO. FOR THE
NIGHT...INCREASED POPS TO HIGH CATEGORICAL THROUGHOUT CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA WITH TEMPERATURES...AND LATER IN THE EVENING BASED ON A
QUICK LOOK AT LATE NIGHT CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY NEED TO LOWER POPS
MORE QUICKLY LATE TONIGHT. COULD BE SOME REMNANTS OF DRIZZLE AND FOG
IN LOW CLOUDS AND LINGERING MOISTURE NORTH OF THE FRONT.

ON SUNDAY...EARLY MORNING STRATUS AND FOG...WHILE SLOW TO LIFT AND
SCATTER...SHOULD DO SO BY THE MIDDAY HOURS SUNDAY. PROVIDED THE
CLOUDS BREAK AS EXPECTED...WARM RIDGING ALOFT AND ASSOCIATED
PROJECTED LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES IN THE 1380-1390S METERS SUGGESTS
TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB WELL INTO THE 70S TO AROUND 80 DEGREES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 310 PM...

SOUTHERLY FLOW SUNDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF A LAKE SUPERIOR LOW... WITH ITS
ASSOCIATED FRONT TRAILING SOUTH INTO THE NORTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA MONDAY NIGHT... WITH RAIN EXITING THE EASTERN
PARTS A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNRISE TUESDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THEN
ADVANCES UP THE OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT... PUSHING A DRY NORTH TO
NORTHEAST FLOW INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

STRONG WEST FLOW OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS BELOW 5000 FEET MONDAY NIGHT WITH
REASONABLE INSTABILITY AND CAPE SUGGESTS A THREAT FOR STRAIGHT LINE
DAMAGING WINDS WITH MONDAY NIGHT THUNDERSTORMS.

OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S SUNDAY NIGHT... 55 TO 60
MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S MONDAY...
THEN LOWER 70S NORTHWEST TO UPPER 70S EAST TUESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 310 PM...

00Z ECMWF MODEL IDEA OF STALLING A CUT OFF UPPER LOW OFF THE SOUTH
CAROLINA COAST IS REJECTED IN FAVOR OF WEAKER... MORE OPEN TROUGH
ON THE MAJORITY OF THE MODELS EARLY IN THIS PERIOD. WITH THE TROUGH
REACHING THE MIDWEST FRIDAY MORNING... A SLOWER PROGRESSION AND MORE
SOUTHERLY POSITION THAN THE GFS IS FOLLOWED... SIMILAR TO THE 12Z
CANADIAN. THE HEMISPHERIC PATTERN IS CHAOTIC WITH STRONG FLOW AROUND
LOWS WEST OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND A LOW IN THE DAVIS STRAITS. THE
EJECTION OF ENERGY FROM THE WESTERN UNITED STATES IS QUITE SUSPECT
AND THE SLOWER TIMING SIMILAR TO HPC GUIDANCE IS BEST.

THUS WEDNESDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING WILL BE FORECAST DRY AT THIS
TIME. LOW CONFIDENCE 20 TO 30 PERCENT RAIN CHANCES FOR FRIDAY
AFTERNOON... IN SOUTHEAST FLOW AHEAD OF THE MID WEST LOW. CHANCES
FOR SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN RUN THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW... AND A 40
TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES
MOSTLY LOW TO MID 70S. LOW TEMPERATURES RISING FROM THE MID 40S
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THE MID AND UPPER 50S BY FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 620 PM SATURDAY...

WIDESPREAD IFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS...THUNDERSTORMS...AND
LOW CLOUDS THIS EVENING...EXCEPT LOCALLY VFR TOWARD KFAY...KRCZ...
AND KSOP IN ADVANCE OF THE PRECIPITATION. LIFR CEILINGS AND
LIFR-MVFR VISIBILITIES...MUCH LIKE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
MORNING...CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXIT
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD ONLY GRADUALLY
IMPROVE THROUGH MVFR TO LOW VFR RANGE THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AS
INITIALLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE SURFACE WINDS INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH.

LOOKING AHEAD...AREAS OF FOG ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP SUNDAY NIGHT
AND CONTINUE INTO EARLY MONDAY...BEFORE VFR CONDITIONS RETURN FOR
THE DAY MONDAY. A COLD FRONT MAY BRING A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
AND SHOWERS/STORMS TO OUR REGION LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR LATER TUESDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK.
