AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
350 PM EDT FRI JUN 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THIS AFTERNOON AND CROSS THE
REGION TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE CAROLINAS ON
SATURDAY AND LINGER OVERHEAD ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 350 PM FRIDAY...

...A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 9 PM THIS EVENING FOR 5
COUNTIES NEIGHBORING THE VIRGINIA STATE LINE IN THE NORTHERN
PIEDMONT/COASTAL COUNTIES...

...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE REMAINDER OF
CENTRAL NC THROUGH 10 PM THIS EVENING...

CURRENT FORECAST IS GENERALLY ON TRACK THIS MORNING...AS A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE OH AND TN VALLEYS WILL INTERACT
WITH A MOIST AND INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR AIRMASS EAST OF
THE APPALACHIANS.  THE MAIN CONCERN FOR NEAR TERM UPDATES WILL BE
FOR HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION POTENTIAL.

A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG A DIFFUSE SURFACE TO 850MB WARM FRONT
CONTINUE TO MOVE OFF TO THE NORTHEAST THIS MORNING...WITH A PERIOD
LITTLE ACTIVITY EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.  STRATUS IS
SCATTERING RATHER QUICKLY OVER CENTRAL NC...AND SKIES ARE NEARLY
CLEAR OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN SC.  12Z RAOBS AT KGSO AND KMHX SHOW
A STRONG BUT EASILY BREAKABLE CAP ABOVE THE MOIST BOUNDARY
LAYER...SO RAP FORECASTS OF 1500-2000 J/KG OF SBCAPE SEEM
ATTAINABLE.  MODIFIED FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM THE RAP GIVE 1000-1500
J/KG OF MLCAPE OVER EASTERN NC.  THE HRRR AND CAMS HAVE PERFORMED
POORLY WITH THE PRECIP THIS MORNING...SO CONFIDENCE IN THEIR
DEPICTION OF CONVECTIVE IGNITION THROUGH MID AFTERNOON IS LOW.
HOWEVER...THE CAP SHOULD BREAK BY NOON AND CLOUD STREETS ARE
BEGINNING TO SHOW UP OVER THE SANDHILLS IN VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY...SO SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY BEGIN TO POP UP BY 18Z. ONE LAST
COMPLICATING FACTOR IS CLOUD COVER OVER MUCH OF VA...WHICH COULD
LEAD TO A DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER THIS
AFTERNOON.  WE WILL INCREASE POPS OVER THE EASTERN CWA EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...AND CONTINUE THE HIGHER 80-90 POPS FROM EAST TO WEST
THIS EVENING.

AS THE UPPER TROUGH BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILLED AND LIFTS ACROSS THE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON...0-6KM EFFECTIVE SHEAR FORECASTS SHOW 35-40KT
BETWEEN THE POLAR JET TO THE NORTH AND A WEAKER COMPONENT OF THE
SUBTROPICAL JET EXPECTED TO EMERGE OVER SOUTHEAST GA/SC THIS
AFTERNOON.  SURFACE WINDS HAVE BEEN BACKED TO SOUTHEASTERLY IN THE
VICINITY OF THE WEAK WARM FRONT THIS MORNING...BUT ALL MODELS
INDICATED WINDS WILL VEER TO SOUTHERLY AS MIXING INCREASES THIS
MORNING.  DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF DISCRETE
SUPERCELLS OUT AHEAD OF THE LINEAR FORCING AND EXPECTED QLCS THIS
EVENING.  AS UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND HEIGHT FALLS INCREASE THIS
EVENING...THE LOW LEVEL JET IF FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN
35-40KT...ESPECIALLY NORTH...WHICH WILL HELP TO INCREASE LOW LEVEL
HODOGRAPH CURVATURE AND MAY SUPPORT AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT.  THE
CURRENT SLIGHT RISK FROM SPC CONTINUES TO SHOW A 10 PERCENT TORNADO
RISK NORTH OF THE TRIANGLE AND ROCKY MOUNT.

CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL QLCS THIS EVENING...MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE
ARRIVAL OF THE SURFACE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT BY A FEW HOURS...THOUGH
MOST OF THE CAMS SUGGEST THE COLD POOL WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM
REDEVELOPING EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS AND SURGING ACROSS THE UNSTABLE
AIRMASS AREA AFTER 21Z.  LARGE SCALE SHEAR PARAMETERS AND SIMULATED
UPDRAFT HELICITY VALUES SUGGEST EMBEDDED SUPERCELL STRUCTURE WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITHIN THE LINE.

WE WILL LEAVE FORECAST HIGHS AS THEY ARE SINCE THEY ARE ON THE
WARMER SIDE OF GUIDANCE AND WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER MAY NOT BE AN
ISSUE.

TONIGHT...BAND OF CONVECTION CROSSES THEN PIEDMONT DURING THE
EVENING...AND THE COASTAL PLAIN LATE THIS EVENING-OVERNIGHT. FAVOR
SLIGHTLY WARMER NAM-WRF MOS GUIDANCE VERSUS THE COOLER GFS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 350 PM FRIDAY...

A LARGE CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL DRIFT NORTHWARD TOWARD THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES ON SATURDAY. BY DAYBREAK...THE ATTENDANT SURFACE COLD FRONT
WILL HAVE LONG EXITED THE AREA...WITH WEAK SURFACE HIGH OVER THE
LOWER MS VALLEY WORKING ITS WAY EASTWARD INTO THE CAROLINAS. DRIER
NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID AIR WILL FILTER WEST TO EAST INTO CENTRAL
NC...WITH ANY LINGERING MOISTURE IN THE EAST SATURDAY MORNING GIVING
WAY TO INCREASING SUNSHINE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. MORNING THICKNESSES
START OUT 30 METERS BELOW NORMAL...AND REBOUND TO 20 METERS SHY OF
TODAYS AFTERNOON THICKNESSES...SUPPORTING HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO
AROUND 80.

WILL LIKELY SEE A RESURGENCE OF MID/HIGH CLOUDS LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A RESURGENCE OF 30-40 METER H5
HEIGHT FALLS AND DCVA AS ADDITIONAL S/W ENERGY SWINGS THROUGH THE
AREA...RESULTING IN OCCASIONAL PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
SATURDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 50S.

SYNOPTIC SCALE SCALE SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE
WILL BE IN PLACE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...RESULTING IN CONTINUED
DRY CONDITIONS. AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO MODERATE AS SURFACE
ANTICYCLONE SHIFTS SOUTHWARD OVER THE GULF COAST REGION. A 15 METER
THICKNESS INCREASE WILL SUPPORT A RETURN OF DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE
LOWER TO MID 80S WITH A SLOWER RETURN OF HUMIDITY. OVERNIGHT LOWS
SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 350 PM FRIDAY...

THE ATMOSPHERIC BLOCKING PATTERN OVER THE LOWER 48 STATES IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A STRONGLY NEGATIVE PHASE OF THE NAO WILL RESULT IN
A SLOW PROGRESSION OF THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN...WITH THE EASTERN
US REMAINING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE CUT-OFF LOW OVER SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND.

WHILE THERE ARE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE
DEPICTING A PROMINENT MID-UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIVING
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION IN THE LATE MONDAY-LATE
TUESDAY TIME PERIOD...WITH ATTENDANT SURFACE WAVE/LOW ACCOMPANYING
THE UPPER WAVE PASSAGE. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT WEATHER SYSTEM FOR CENTRAL
NC...BRINGING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD CONVECTION/RAIN CHANCES
DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD. OTHERWISE...THE FORECAST WILL BE MARRED
BY NORTHWEST FLOW DISTURANCES SWINGING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE LONG
WAVE TROUGH THAT ARE UNRESOLVABLE WITH ANY RELIABILITY THIS FAR OUT.
WILL CARRY A CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
AND THEN DRY AFTERWARD.

EXPECT SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES UNDERNEATH THE EASTERN US TROUGH WITH
DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 79 TO 84. LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM FRIDAY...

SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PROBABLE LATE TODAY AND
THIS EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL NC.

CEILINGS ARE LIFTING TO THE 2500-3500FT RANGE THIS AFTERNOON AND
CLOUD COVER IS VARIABLE...SO PERIODS OF HIGH MVFR CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE.  A STRONG STORMS SYSTEM IS APPROACHING THE
REGION TODAY...AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT HAVE POPPED UP
SINCE 16Z NORTHEAST OF KRDU....AND WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS OVER
THE WESTERN PIEDMONT BY 19-21Z.  WE EXPECT STORMS MOVING INTO THE
KCLT AREA AND WESTERN PIEDMONT WILL MERGE INTO A LINE OF STORMS AND
CROSS CENTRAL NC BETWEEN 19-02Z.  STRONG WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50-60MPH
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST PARTS OF THE LINE...WITH IFR AND
LIFR CONDITIONS.  WE WILL ATTEMPT TO TIME THE MOST PROBABLY TIME
PERIOD OF STORMS WITH VCTS...WITH THE MOST ADVERSE AVIATION
CONDITIONS LIKELY FOR AN HOUR OR LESS DURING THE TIME PERIOD.

A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA LATER THIS EVENING...AND MAY BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY MAY BE
LIMITED IF THE FIRST ROUND OF STORMS IS WIDESPREAD.
NONETHELESS...ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
CONVECTION ALONG OR JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE BEHIND THE FRONT AFTER MIDNIGHT.

A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MAY CAUSE VFR CEILINGS MONDAY
WITH A POTENTIAL FOR SUB-VFR CEILINGS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS A
SURFACE BOUNDARY DRIFTS ACROSS THE AREA.
