AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
325 AM EDT THU APR 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

A WARM AND MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL THROUGH THIS MORNING. A
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
THROUGH TODAY... ACCOMPANIED BY NUMEROUS STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 255 AM THURSDAY...

...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES THIS MORNING
THROUGH MID AFTERNOON WITH A PRIMARY RISK OF DAMAGING WINDS AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES...

A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE TRIAD/ROXBORO AREAS THROUGH 8
AM... AND MORE WATCHES MAY BE NEEDED LATER THIS MORNING. THE
DEVASTATING TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH AND GULF STATES
INTO THE INTERIOR SOUTHEAST HAS ABATED SLIGHTLY IN THE LAST FEW
HOURS... ALTHOUGH ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE AND TORNADO REPORTS CONTINUE
TO COME IN OVER WRN NC... WITH A PARTICULARLY POTENT SUPERCELL OVER
THE CENTRAL NC MOUNTAINS/FOOTHILLS. SURFACE DEW POINTS OVER CENTRAL
NC REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S WITH A STOUT GUSTY SOUTHERLY
FLOW... YIELDING STRONG DEEP LAYER EFFECTIVE SHEAR OVER 40 KTS OVER
MUCH OF THE CWA... HOWEVER MLCAPE HAS TRAILED OFF WITH THE MODERATE
INSTABILITY SUPPRESSED ACROSS GA/SRN SC... AND MAINLY ELEVATED
INSTABILITY OVER CENTRAL NC. NEVERTHELESS... WITH RUC-ANALYZED 0-1
KM SRH STILL OVER 500 M2/S2 OVER THE NW CWA AND RATHER LONG CURVING
HODOGRAPHS THROUGH THE LOWEST 2 KM... THE THREAT OF A POSSIBLY
TORNADIC SUPERCELL SURVIVING AS IT TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD INTO THIS
ENVIRONMENT PERSISTS THROUGH THIS MORNING... AND THE INTENSE WIND
FIELD THROUGH THE LOWEST FEW KM SUPPORTS A POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING
BOWING SEGMENTS AS WELL.

AFTER SUNRISE... MODELS AGREE THAT THE 50-60 KT LOW LEVEL JET NOW
STRETCHING OVER THE CENTRAL/SRN APPALACHIANS WILL PUSH EASTWARD
THROUGH THE PIEDMONT THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...
ALTHOUGH THE CORE OF THIS JET WILL PASS TO OUR NORTH AND INTO THE
NORTHEAST STATES. THE BETTER MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS PASS TO OUR
NORTH AS WELL... BUT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE PROJECTED TO REMAIN
OVER 7 C/KM... AND MLCAPE IS EXPECTED TO RECOVER TO NEAR 1500 J/KG
ROUGHLY ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 BY LATE MORNING... WITH
DECREASING YET STILL IMPRESSIVE 0-3 KM BULK SHEAR OVER 50 KTS. THE
INITIALLY LONG CURVED HODOGRAPHS STRAIGHTEN OUT BY 18Z... SUGGESTING
A SHIFT FROM A MAINLY TORNADO THREAT TO A MAINLY DAMAGING WIND
THREAT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES TOWARD CENTRAL NC. IN GENERAL
THOUGH... WITH THE DECREASE IN DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT AS
INITIALLY VERY INTENSE UPPER DIVERGENCE (IN THE IDEALLY JUXTAPOSED
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE SRLY UPPER JET OVER MI AND THE LEFT
EXIT REGION OF THE ELONGATED JET TO OUR WEST) SLOWLY DECREASES... WE
SHOULD NOT SEE NEARLY THE EXTREME STORM INTENSITY AS THEY HAVE SEEN
WELL TO OUR W/SW IN THE LAST 48 HOURS. HAVE KEPT HIGH POPS THROUGH
THE MORNING... TRANSLATING EASTWARD THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE
DECREASING WEST TO EAST THROUGH MID-LATE AFTERNOON AS THE COLD FRONT
SHIFTS TO THE I-95 CORRIDOR BY 21Z. HIGHS 77-84 WITH SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 15-20 MPH GUSTING TO AROUND 30 MPH. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 325 AM THURSDAY...

FOR TONIGHT: FOLLOWING CONSENSUS OF MODEL OUTPUT... WILL TREND POPS
OUT OF THE ERN CWA BY EARLY EVENING. THE 850 MB TROUGH LAGS THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT BY SEVERAL HOURS... SO WE SHOULD SEE SCATTERED TO
BROKEN CLOUDS LINGER UNTIL LATE EVENING BEFORE SKIES CLEAR OUT
OVERNIGHT WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMING WEST-NORTHWESTERLY. LOWS
48-55.

FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT: THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AND A
LAST SHOT OF DCVA FINALLY SHIFTS OVERHEAD FRIDAY... AND LINGERING
MOISTURE ATOP THE MIXED LAYER SHOULD RESULT IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WITH LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES ABOUT 10 M
BELOW NORMAL... EXPECT HIGHS OF 70-75. RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT AND
SUBSIDENCE WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE CAROLINAS
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT SOULD LEAD TO GENERALLY CLEAR
SKIES... WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES GIVEN THE
BELOW-NORMAL THICKNESSES. HIGHS SATURDAY 73-78. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 1255 PM WEDNESDAY...

GENERALLY FOLLOWING AN HPC SOLUTION HERE WHICH LEANS TOWARD A BLEND
OF THE GFS/ECMWF TO END THE WEEKEND THEN MORE OF AN ENSEMBLE
SOLUTION THEREAFTER.

SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY WILL SEE RIDGE OVER THE AREA SHIFTING EAST AS
NEXT STORM SYSTEM WORKS INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. WITH A SPLIT FLOW
REGIME WITH ONE STRONG SHORTWAVE MOVING SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST AND THE SRN STREAM WAVE WORKING INTO THE LOWER MISSOURI
VALLEY AND SRN PLAINS BY MONDAY. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WE SHOULD BE
DRY WITH INCREASING HUMIDITIES...AND TEMPS AS HIGHS BY MONDAY WILL
BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S. AS THE SRLY FLOW INCREASES MONDAY AND
THE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE TN/OHIO VALLEYS...THE CHANCE OF
AFTN/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES...WITH A BETTER CHANCE ARRIVING
MON NIGHT AS THE FRONT PROGRESSES INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

THE CONFIGURATION OF THE UPPER AIR PATTERN AND FRONT SUGGESTS
POTENTIAL FOR A LINEAR STORM ORGANIZATION...AND SVR POTENTIAL WITH
WIND GUSTS. ALSO...WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG THE FRONT
MONDAY NIGHT COULD BACK THE LOW LVL FLOW ENOUGH TO INCREASE HELICITY
LEADING TO POTENTIAL TORNADIC THREAT. STILL EARLY TO CALL IT...BUT
SEEMS WE COULD BE LOOKING AT SOME SVR WX POTENTIAL IN THE MON-TUE
TIME FRAME...ALTHOUGH IF MAIN LINE COMES IN AT NIGHT...THIS MAY
LIMIT THE THREAT.

SHOULD SEE THINGS GETTING DRIER/COOLER BY MIDWEEK PER ENSEMBLE
SOLUTION...AS HIGH PRESSURE WORKS IN FROM THE WEST. A SLOWER ECWMF
SOLUTION WOULD DELAY THIS BY ANOTHER DAY AS IT TAKES ON A NEG TILT
TO THE UPPER TROUGH HANGING THE SFC FRONT UP ACROSS ERN NC.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 235 AM THURSDAY...

IFR TO LIFR CIGS EXPECTED IN NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
MORNING. CIGS WILL BREAK OUT TO MVFR TO VFR THIS AFTERNOON WITH
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ALONG A COLD FRONT. THIS FRONT WILL
PUSH EAST ACROSS OUR REGION BETWEEN 19Z-22Z. GRADIENT WINDS TODAY
WILL BE SOUTH AT 15-30KT WITH SOME GUSTS TO 35KT BECOMING SW THEN W
BY LATE TODAY AND DECREASING TO 10KT OR LESS BY AROUND 00Z-02Z/FRI.

VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED FRI-SUN.

THE NEXT SYSTEM MAY BRING LOWER CIGS AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN BY MONDAY.

&&

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