AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
343 PM EDT FRI SEP 30 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSING NORTH CAROLINA...CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO OUR REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK...PROVIDING FOR MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 240 PM...

LATEST CONVECTIVE ALLOWING MODELS SHOWING A BIT MORE CONVECTION AND
CAPE VALUES EXCEEDING 1000 JOULES NEAR AND EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE BY
LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. OTHER CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS REMAIN
RELATIVELY UNCHANGED. 250 MILLIBAR DIVERGENCE LINES UP WELL WITH THE
850 MILLIBAR TROUGH... WHICH IS STILL FORECAST TO SHARPEN DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN. LATEST MODELS HAVE ALSO
SLOWED THE ADVECTION OF NEAR SURFACE DRY AIR FROM THE WEST. THE MASS
OF DRY AIR BELOW 7000 FEET WILL BE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME AND ANY
LINE OF CONVECTION EXPECTED TO BE BROKEN. WILL HOLD RAIN CHANCES
AT NO HIGHER THAN 30 PERCENT. SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES TO BE
DAMAGING DOWNDRAFT GUSTS WITH HAIL A RISK IN ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT
DEVELOPS A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGE CORE. TIMING CONTINUES TO BE LATE
AFTERNOON TO MID EVENING... WITH THE THREAT EXITING TO THE EAST
THIS EVENING WITH THE 850 MILLIBAR TROUGH PASSAGE.

SKIES CLEAR BEHIND THE CONVECTION. GUSTS TO 20 MPH THIS AFTERNOON
WILL EXCEED 25 MPH NEAR SUNSET AND NOT SUBSIDE SIGNIFICANTLY UNTIL
PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT. GREENSBORO THICKNESSES FORECAST TO FALL TO 1325
METERS BY SUNRISE SATURDAY. IN NORTHWEST FLOW THIS IS LIKELY TOO
LOW. WITH SOME WIND PERSISTING OVERNIGHT... LOW TEMPERATURES MID 40S
NORTHWEST TO LOWER 50S EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

THE LOW DIVING SOUTH AND ALSO DOES NOT BRING IT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE
12Z NAM AND 00Z ECMWF. WILL TREND MORE TOWARD THE SLOWER MOVEMENT OF
THE ECMWF...AS THE GFS TENDS TO MOVE THESE SYSTEMS OUT TOO QUICKLY.
ECMWF HAS THE H5 LOW DIVING SOUTH INTO SOUTH CENTRAL VA BY 12Z
MONDAY...AND LINGERS OVER VA THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT BEST
CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION...IF IT OCCURS...TO BE ACROSS THE NORTH
FROM 00Z MONDAY THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY. HAVE INCREASED POPS
SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE NORTH...HOWEVER HAVE KEPT THEM BELOW SLIGHT
CHANCE DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES. WITH THE
POSITION OF THE LOW FROM THE ECMWF AND THE INCREASED CHANCES OF
CLOUD COVER NORTH...WILL NOT CHANGE LOW TEMPS MUCH ON SUNDAY NIGHT
AND EXPECT THEM TO BE NEAR OR ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE VALUES IN THE
NORTH WHERE THE BETTER CLOUD COVERAGE IS EXPECTED.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...EXPECT SURFACE HIGH TO START BUILDING
INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST MONDAY EVENING AS THE MID/UPPER LEVEL
LOW BEGINS TO MOVE NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA. HAVE LOWERED TEMPS
A FEW DEGREES TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID
70S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S...AS THE SURFACE HIGH
SETTLES INTO THE AREA AND NNW SURFACE WINDS PREVAIL. SHOULD SEE A
SLIGHT WARMING TREND IN TEMPS BEYOND WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID 70S AND LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
PERIOD AS THE UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE AWAY FROM CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA. HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST DRY THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH
THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION...IF ANY WOULD OCCUR...MONDAY
NIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE. NUDGED POPS UP
SLIGHTLY IN THE NORTH AND ACROSS THE EAST...BUT KEPT THEM LOW
THROUGHOUT...BELOW SLIGHT CHANCE CURRENTLY.
