AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
928 PM EDT TUE MAY 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS OUR REGION OVERNIGHT. MUCH COOLER
ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 915 PM TUESDAY...

SURFACE COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS
AND WAS BEGINNING TO ADVANCE EAST INTO THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. THE 00Z
SPC WRF MODEL RUN HAS VERIFIED FAIRLY WELL WITH THE MOVEMENT AND
INTENSITY OF THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT. DID NOTE THAT
THE 18Z HRRR DID NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS IT HAD CONVECTION
DISSIPATING OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AT 00Z.

PREVIOUS FORECAST VERIFYING WELL WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTION
AND SEE LITTLE NEED TO ADJUST POPS AT THIS TIME. NARROW AXIS OF
INSTABILITY STILL EXIST OVER THE YADKIN RIVER VALLEY AND THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT WHERE LOW LEVEL SHEAR ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED
CONVECTION IN THE FORM OF BROKEN BANDS. DAMAGING WIND THREAT
SUBSIDING THOUGH AS LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE DECREASED OVER OUR
REGION TO VALUES LESS THAN 6.5 DEG C/KM.

HAVE ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMPS TO DEPICT A MORE DRAMATIC COOL DOWN WITH
TEMPS AS SITES IN WESTERN NC COOLED 7-10 DEGREES F WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE FRONT WITHIN THE FIRST 60-90 MINUTES. OVERALL...MIN TEMP
FORECAST SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS FORECAST MOST LOCALES EXCEPT DID TREND
A TAD COOLER IN THE NW PIEDMONT. -WSS

FOR WEDNESDAY: FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT A GRADUAL WEST-TO-EAST
CLEARING OF CLOUDS AND PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE MORNING/MIDDAY
WITH A STEEPENING MIXED LAYER. MOISTENING OF THE UPPER REACHES OF
THIS MIXED LAYER IS LIKELY AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS MOVES SLOWLY
THROUGH CENTRAL NC... AND WITH THESE STEEP LAPSE RATES AND MID LEVEL
DCVA... ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY FROM RALEIGH NORTH AND
NE... AS SEEN ON 12 KM NAM AND SPC 4 KM WRF. WILL MENTION A SMALL
SHOWER CHANCE HERE. THICKNESSES AND A DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE
SUPPORT HIGHS 63-70. -GIH

&&

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

THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
WEDNESDAY EVENING AND WILL EXIT TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT. THE NAM
SUGGESTS THERE COULD BE ENOUGH LIFT TO PRODUCE AN ISOLATED SHOWER
WITH THE UPPER DYNAMICS HOWEVER THE 850 MILLIBAR AND SURFACE
TROUGHS WILL BE WELL EAST WITH MINIMAL MOISTURE OVER NORTH
CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY ALONG WITH THURSDAY AS THE
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. AT THE SURFACE... HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE
CENTERED OVER THE CAROLINAS BY SUNSET THURSDAY. LOWS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER 40S IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH
LOWS RANGING FROM 40-44 DEGREES.

FORECAST THICKNESSES FOR THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE MORE TYPICAL OF
EARLY MARCH KEEPING HIGH BELOW NORMAL IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.
THE AIR MASS WILL BE DRY ALLOWING FOR SUNNY SKIES THURSDAY AND
NORTH WINDS WILL BE DECREASING THROUGH THE DAY AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WEAKENS MAKING THE AFTERNOON SEEM WARMER.

THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL BE OVERHEAD THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH CLEAR AND
CALM CONDITIONS THURSDAY NIGHT AND A DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BACK INTO THE LOW TO MID 40S WITH AN
OUTLYING AREA OR TWO PERHAPS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S BY FRIDAY
MORNING.

FRIDAY...RETURN FLOW SETS UP AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE AND
THE NEXT FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST ALONG WITH A WEAK
SHORTWAVE. THE DRY AIRMASS WILL NOT HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO RECOVER
AND MOISTEN AHEAD OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM WHICH WILL MOVE RAPIDLY
ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE FORCING AND INCREASING LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE...THOUGH LIMITED...SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR AN ISOLATED
SHOWER OR TWO SO WILL MAINTAIN SMALL SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE
FORECAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S...WILL
TEND TO LIMIT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE...BUT EVEN CONVECTIVE SHOWERS
COULD POSE A THREAT OF DOWNBURST WINDS DUE TO THE DRY AIR AND SUB-
CLOUD DOWNDRAFT ACCELERATION. HIGHS FRIDAY IN THE MID 70S WITH
LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT RANGING FROM 46-52.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...

SAT THROUGH TUE: ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL
DISSIPATE AND PUSH EAST BY FRIDAY NIGHT. THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT
WEEK WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY WEST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND AN
UNDERLYING LOW LEVEL FRONTAL ZONE AND RESULTANT CORRIDOR FOR MCS
ACTIVITY FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS TO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC/CAROLINAS.
A PASSING WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE WNW FLOW ALOFT AND ATTENDING
CLIPPER SURFACE LOW IS PROGGED BY SOME MODELS TO PASS JUST TO OUR
NORTH. THIS MAY YIELD A VERY SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS LATE SAT
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY ALONG THE VA BORDER...BUT WILL KEEP THE FORECAST
DRY FOR NOW. SUN NIGHT THROUGH TUE...LOOK FOR TEMPERATURES HOLD IN
THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S SUN AND MONDAY MON...AS A WARM MID
LEVEL RIDGE EXPANDS EAST NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER WAVE IN THE NW FLOW
CLIPS THE AREA TO THE NORTH MONDAY EVENING AND AGAIN COULD
GENERATE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS ALONG THE VA BORDER AND IN THE NE.
THE WEAK DISTURBANCE AND INCREASED CLOUD COVER ALONG WITH A
PERIOD OF NELY FLOW SHOULD KEEPS TEMPS COOLER IN THE NE COMPARED
TO AREAS IN THE SOUTH AND WEST.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 735 PM TUESDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL NC WILL DETERIORATE OVERNIGHT.  A
BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH THE FOOTHILLS WILL APPROACH
KGSO/KINT BY 01Z...WITH A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS
POSSIBLE AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA.  LOSS OF DIURNAL
INSTABILITY SHOULD CAUSE THE STORMS TO WEAKEN AS THEY PUSH EAST
TOWARD THE KRDU BY 04-05Z.   WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
RAPIDLY SWITCH TO NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT. HOWEVER...MUCH OF
THE MOISTURE AND RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS BEHIND THE FRONT...AND
THUS CEILINGS AND VSBYS WILL FALL TO MVFR/IFR OVERNIGHT WITH
LIGHT/MODERATE RAIN THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.  MODELS DEPICT
SLOW SCOURING OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND STRATUS THROUGH
MIDDAY...WITH VFR CEILINGS EXPECTED BY EARLY AFTERNOON.  A FEW
ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM KRDU TO KRWI DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PUSHES ACROSS THE
AREA...BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO INCLUDE IN THE CURRENT
TAF.

PREDOMINATELY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND.  ANOTHER
STRONG DISTURBANCE WILL BRING THUNDERSTORMS LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
EVENING.
