AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1144 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST
AND A COLD FRONT OVER THE MIDWEST WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP A WARM MOIST
AIR MASS INTO THE CAROLINAS THROUGH MID WEEK. THE COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1140 AM TUESDAY...

TODAY: STRATUS OVER THE CWA THIS MORNING WILL DISSIPATE AS THE MIXED
LAYER DEEPENS WITH DAYTIME HEATING. STRONG LOWER TO MID LEVEL
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE FROM A
DISTURBANCE NEAR THE BAHAMAS...AND ASSOCIATED NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS INTO OUR REGION THROUGHOUT THE DAY...ESPECIALLY EAST
OF HIGHWAY 1. HIGH PW VALUES WITHIN THIS MOISTURE PLUME INDICATE
THAT THESE CELLS COULD RESULT IN TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS...AND THE
ORIENTATION OF THE CELL MOVEMENT COULD CAUSE A TRAINING EFFECT WITH
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING. ADDITIONALLY...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
LOOPS AND NEAR TERM NWP GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS
ALOFT OVER NORTHEASTERN FL WILL CONTINUE NORTHEASTWARD AND COULD
PROVIDE FURTHER FORCING FOR CONVECTION...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA TO BE LOCATED IN THE PERIPHERY OF
THIS VORT MAX...RESULTING IN HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS. MEANWHILE TO
THE WEST...A PAIR OF MCV/S OVER THE TN VALLEY AND THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST STATES SHOULD PASS IN SSW FLOW ALOFT...WELL TO THE NW OF OUR
REGION THROUGH THIS EVENING. AS SUCH...ANY FORCING WITH THESE
FEATURES SHOULD HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON OUR CONVECTIVE CHANCES.

REGARDING THE SEVERE THREAT...RELATIVELY WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
GENERALLY 6.5 - 7 C/KM OR LESS AND LIMITED DEEP LAYER BULK SHEAR
(15-30 KTS FROM EAST TO WEST) WILL REDUCE THE THREAT OF LARGE HAIL.
AS SUCH...DAMAGING WET-HYBRID MICROBURSTS MAINLY FROM PRECIPITATION
LOADING AND MID LEVEL DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT (PER DRY AIR NOTED ON WV
VAPOR IMAGERY AND 12Z PROXIMITY SOUNDINGS) WILL BE THE PRIMARY
THREAT...IN ADDITION TO THE AFOREMENTIONED LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

THE SAME AIR MASS THAT HAS ENCOMPASSED OUR REGION FOR THE PAST FEW
DAYS REMAINS...SO SIMILAR HIGH TEMPERATURE VALUES GENERALLY IN THE
79 TO 84 DEGREE RANGE LOOKS REASONABLE - LOWEST WHERE CLOUD COVER IS
MORE PERVASIVE OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT.

TONIGHT: A VORTICITY MAXIMUM ASSOCIATED WITH AN MCV CURRENTLY
LOCATED OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA COULD POTENTIALLY CLIP THE
WESTERN EDGE OF THE CWA LATE TONIGHT. THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS VORT
MAX IS DEPENDENT ON THE LOCATION AND STRENGTH OF THE SOUTHERLY UPPER
LEVEL JET CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE WESTERN APPALACHIAN MTNS. IF
THE VORT MAX IS ADVECTED NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE LEE SIDE OF THE
APPALACHIAN MTNS THEN THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION DOES EXIST FOR
THE WESTERN PIEDMONT REGION OVERNIGHT...WITH ADEQUATE INSTABILITY
JUSTIFYING THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION. SUBSIDENCE...
AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL DISTURBANCE THAT WILL
CONTINUE NORTHWARD JUST OFFSHORE THE COAST OF THE CAROLINAS
TONIGHT...IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE SEABREEZE
FRONT...SHOULD RESULT IN CLEARING AND DRIER CONDITIONS ALONG THE
EASTERN PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN OVERNIGHT...FOLLOWED BY THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF LOW STRATUS THROUGH WED MORNING. SIMILAR TO THIS
MORNING...LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM TUESDAY...

STAGNANT AIRMASS WILL BE PRIMED FOR CONVECTION ON WEDNESDAY...BUT
ORGANIZED LARGER SCALE FORCING WILL AGAIN REMAIN WEST OF THE AREA.
WILL KEEP ONGOING SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN PLACE. HIGHS WILL REACH THE
MID 80S OVER MOST OF THE AREA.

WED NIGHT AND THU: THE UPPER TROF WHICH HAS BEEN STRUGGLING TO MOVE
OUT OF THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL FINALLY BEGIN PUSHING EAST AND THE
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT AND A STRONG MID LEVEL SHEAR AXIS WILL REACH
THE MOUNTAINS TOWARDS SUNSET...THEN TRAVERSE THE AREA OVERNIGHT.
WHILE INSTABILITY WILL BE DIMINISHING...THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES
TO 60 KTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AROUND MIDNIGHT
WITH FAVORABLE UPPER DIFFLUENCE AS A 110 KT UPPER JET ROUNDS THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SHORT WAVE... RESULTING IN A SLIGHT RISK
FOR DAMAGING WINDS OVER THE ENTIRE AREA WED NIGHT INTO THU MORNING.
WILL TWEAK THE TIMING OF LIKELY POPS INTO THE MIDNIGHT-SUNRISE TIME
FRAME WEST...SHIFTING TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA FROM SUNRISE
THROUGH AROUND MID DAY. THE FRONT MOVES EAST OF THE AREA IN THE MID
AFTERNOON AND WILL TAPER POPS OFF IN THE EAST BY SUNSET... MEANWHILE
CLEARING WILL BE UNDERWAY IN THE WEST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 310 AM TUESDAY...

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY:
ANY PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BEST EAST
OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY EVENING... WITH RAPIDLY CLEARING SKIES AS
THE FRONT PUSHES EAST OF THE AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DRY
CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY NIGHT... WITH LOWS FRIDAY MORNING RANGING
FROM THE UPPER 40S NW TO MID 50S SE.

MID/UPPER TROUGH AXIS IS EXPECTED TO SWING THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY
MORNING OR AFTERNOON... WITH THE GFS A GOOD 6 HOURS SLOWER THE
ECMWF. THUS... THE 00Z/26TH GFS SHOWS SOME LIGHT PRECIP ON FRIDAY
LATE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... WITH A DEEP AND DRY SUB CLOUD LAYER...
WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY AND ONLY SHOW AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER
(MORE CLOUDS ACROSS THE NORTH) AND LOWER HIGH TEMPS BY A COUPLE OF
DEGREES. THUS... HIGHS ON FRIDAY TO BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY:
TRANQUIL WEATHER IS EXPECTED DURING THIS TIME FRAME... WITH SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA... AS SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT
BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL YIELD DRY WEATHER AND A
WARMING TREND. HIGHS SATURDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID TO UPPER
70S... WITH GENERALLY LOWER 80S ON SUNDAY. WITH HIGH PRESSURE
OVERHEAD ON SATURDAY MORNING LOW TEMPS WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER 40S
TO LOWER 50S. LOWS SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE A CATEGORY OR TWO
WARMER... AS THE SURFACE HIGH WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA. THUS...
EXPECT LOWS SUNDAY MORNING TO BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY:
NEXT SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST BY AT
LEAST LATE ON MONDAY. HOWEVER... AMPLIFICATION DIFFERENCES WITH THE
TROUGH ALOFT ARE CAUSING TIMING AND STRENGTH DIFFERENCES. THUS...
WILL CONTINUE TO JUST MENTION CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY... WITH HIGHS
TEMPS MONDAY IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 735 AM TUESDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD:
MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NC
(KGSO/KINT/KRDU-STRATUS) TO LIFR CONDITIONS ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS
OF CENTRAL NC (KFAY/KRWI-BOTH CIGS AND VISBY RESTRICTIONS) ARE
EXPECTED TO IMPROVE TO AT LEAST HIGH END MVFR OR VFR CIGS BY MIDDAY
(AROUND NOON). AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS
MORNING IN ASSOCIATION WITH A WEAK DISTURBANCE ALOFT MOVING THROUGH
THE AREA... HOWEVER COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE ISOLATED. THUS...
HAVE ONLY INCLUDED A TEMPO FOR SHOWERS AT KRDU AND KFAY... WHICH
APPEAR TO STAND THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING A SHOWER OR TWO THIS
MORNING GIVEN CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. OTHERWISE WILL HANDLE THIS WITH
TEMPO GROUPS. WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND WEAK DISTURBANCES ALOFT
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
EVENING... WITH SUB VFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWER OR
STORM. THUS... HAVE MENTIONED CB AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THIS TIME
FRAME.

SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD PERSIST WITH A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD PERSIST INTO WEDNESDAY...ALONG WITH THE IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS
ONCE AGAIN IN THE 06-15Z TIME FRAME WED MORNING. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/
STORMS ARE EXPECTED THU MORNING THROUGH EARLY THU AFTERNOON IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A COLD FRONT CROSSING THE AREA. SEVERE CONVECTION
WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND DIRECTLY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FRIDAY-SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE THU EVENING.
