AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
0938 PM EDT FRI JUN 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE DEEP SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK RESULTING IN AN EXTENDED
HEAT WAVE OVER THE CAROLINAS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 935 PM FRIDAY...

THE MCS RAPIDLY WORKING ITS WAY SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH WV/VA
CONTINUES TO PRODUCE STRONG DAMAGING WINDS ALONG THE FRONT EDGE OF
THE SYSTEM. GIVEN THE REMAINING INSTABILITY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND TEMPS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S...HAVE
INCREASED POPS AND THE THREAT FOR STRONG GUSTY WINDS THROUGH 05Z.
BASED ON THE CURRENT MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AND THE HISTORY OF
DAMAGING WINDS...HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF SEVERE DAMAGING WINDS
THROUGH 05Z AS WELL. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE NE PORTIONS
OF THE AREA RATHER QUICKLY. LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE PRECIP AND/OR
STRONG GUSTY WINDS COULD SEE TEMPS DROP INTO THE 70S...OTHERWISE
EXPECT LOWS IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 IN SOME LOCATIONS...WARMEST
IN URBAN AREAS AND COOLEST IN RURAL AND OUTLYING AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM FRIDAY...

...WILL EXPAND THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING TO INCLUDE ALL 31 COUNTIES IN CENTRAL NC WITH HEAT INDICES
UP TO 110-115 POSSIBLE...

...TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT WILL CONTINUE TO THREATEN ALL-TIME AND DAILY
RECORD HIGHS...

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT:
TEMPERATURES...SHORTWAVE IMPULSES/DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
MEAN TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW MOVING EAST THROUGH HUDSON
BAY/GREAT LAKES REGION WILL DAMPEN THE UPPER RIDGE SLIGHTLY ON
SATURDAY.  BUT THE CORE OF HOT >24C H8 TEMPS WILL REMAIN DEPOSITED
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIGHS OF 100
TO 105 ACROSS THE AREA. DAMPENING OF THE MEAN RIDGE WOULD ALSO
SUGGEST LESS OF AN INFLUENCE FROM DOWNSLOPE EFFECTS...WITH PERHAPS
MORE OF A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT IN THE LOW LEVELS TO PREVENT DEWPOINTS
FROM MIXING OUT DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS HIGHER HUMIDITY COMBINED
WITH THE HOT DAYTIME TEMPERATURES COULD RESULT IN HEAT INDICES
BETWEEN 105 TO 113 DEGREES F. STEAMY OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 70S
TO AROUND 80.

STUDIES INDICATE THE DURATION OF HIGH HEAT INDICES OVER AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME PRESENTS A GREATER DANGER TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC OVER
A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME. AND AS SUCH WITH EXPECTED TRIPLE DIGIT
READINGS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND HEAT INDICES RANGING FROM 105 TO
115...THE CUMULATIVE HEAT EFFECTS WILL BE GREAT FOR ALL OF CENTRAL
NC. WILL EXPAND THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING TO INCLUDE ALL 31
COUNTIES INCLUDING THE NW PIEDMONT/TRIAD AREA.

POPS/RAIN CHANCES...
AS MID-UPPER LEVEL STEERING FLOW BACKS TO WESTERLY...EXPECT
BULK OF MCS ACTIVITY TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA. THE SLIGHT
WEAKENING OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE COULD MEAN HOWEVER THAT WE
COULD SEE SOME CONVECTIVE INVITATION WITHIN THE THERMAL TROUGH AXIS
DUE TO THE STRONG AFTERNOON DESTABILIZATION RESULTING FROM THE STEEP
LAPSE ALOFT ATOP A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER. OTHER THAN THE GFS WHICH IS
SUFFERING FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK...NWP MODEL GUIDANCE INCLUDING
THE HIGH-RES CONVECTIVE ALLOWING MODELS ARE PRETTY QUIET/DRY ACROSS
CENTRAL NC FOR SATURDAY. HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE FORECAST DRY FOR
NOW. BUT MUCH LIKE TONIGHT...IF A STORM DOES DEVELOP AN ISOLATED
DAMAGING DOWNBURST WIND IS POSSIBLE.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT:
STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL ANTI-CYCLONE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER
EASTERN GA/SC SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY THOUGH MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST
SOME WEAKENING IN THE RIDGE MONDAY AS S/W CROSSES SOUTHERN ONTARIO
INTO NEW ENGLAND. WARM MID LAYER TEMPS (AOA 10 DEG C) WILL LIKELY
INHIBIT AFTERNOON CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THOUGH IF CAP IS BROKEN ANY
CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS WILL LIKELY BE ACCOMPANIED BY
FREQUENT-EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES DUE TO INSTABILITY ALOFT AND
STRONG DOWNBURSTS DUE TO PRESENCE OF DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER.

OPPRESSIVE HEAT WILL CONTINUE THOUGH SURFACE DEWPOINTS MAY MIX OUT A
BIT MORE COMPARED TO SATURDAY AS NEAR SURFACE FLOW WILL HAVE MORE OF
A SW COMPONENT. WILL RETAIN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING AS HEAT INDICES
110-114 EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1. WHILE HEAT INDICES
LOWER IN THE WEST...THIRD DAY OF EXTREME HEAT WILL BEGIN TO TAKE ITS
TOLL ON EVEN THE HEALTHIEST OF INDIVIDUALS. MAX TEMPS SUNDAY 3-4
DEGREE ABOVE RECORDS AT GSO AND RDU...AND NEAR THE RECORD AT FAY.

MAX TEMPS MONDAY STILL EXPECTED TO REACH EXCEED THE CENTURY MARK
MOST LOCALES. THIS MAY REQUIRE THE EXTENSION OF THE EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING ONE MORE DAY. HOWEVER A FEW FACTORS MAY PREVENT THIS
OCCURRENCE. MODEL GUIDANCE BEGINS TO SHIFT BULK OF HEAT BACK TO THE
WEST AS MID-UPPER LEVEL ANTI-CYCLONE DRIFTS TOWARD THE LOWER-MID MS
VALLEY. MODEST LOWERING HEIGHTS OVER OUR FORECAST AREA MAY ALLOW
WEAK PERTURBATIONS IN THE DEVELOPING NW FLOW ALOFT TO GRAZE THE
NORTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES...CONTRIBUTING TO SLIGHTLY BETTER
CHANCE OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. IF THIS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS DURING
THE LATE MORNING-AFTERNOON HOURS...ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVERAGE WOULD
LIMIT INSOLATION...LEADING TO SLIGHT "COOLER" MAX TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM FRIDAY...

MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE THE STRONG
ANTI-CYCLONE RETROGRADING TO THE DEEP SOUTH TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
...RESULTING IN NW FLOW OVER CENTRAL NC. GFS STILL NOTICEABLY
SHARPER WITH A S/W IN THIS FLOW WED-THU COMPARED TO THE 00Z ECMWF
(THOUGH 12Z GFS DID COME UP 30M FROM THE 06Z RUN). BULK OF GUIDANCE
SUGGEST A WEAK SHEAR AXIS IN VICINITY OF CENTRAL NC LATE WED THROUGH
THU NIGHT ALONG WITH A SW-NE SURFACE TROUGH POSITIONED ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THIS FEATURE COUPLED WITH
STRING INSOLATION AND PRESENCE OF MODEST COOL POOL WITH THE SHEAR
AXIS SHOULD SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION...MORE  WED AND THU. AFTER CURRENT
HEAT EAVE...ANY RAIN THAT OCCURS WILL BE WELCOMED.

AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL BEGIN A GRADUAL "COOL DOWN" AS BULK OF EXTREME
HEAT WILL SHIFT BACK TO THE MISSOURI-MID-MS VALLEY. STILL ANTICIPATE
MAX TEMPS WELL INTO THE 90S TUESDAY THEN GRADUALLY A COUPLE OF
DEGREES EACH DAY. CAVEAT TO THIS FORECAST IS IF CONVECTION AND
ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVERAGE MORE EXTENSIVE OR COMMENCES EARLIER THAN
ANTICIPATED...THEN MAX TEMPS MAY END UP 3-5 DEGREES COOLER THAN
FORECAST. PRESENCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN SULTRY
CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT WITH MIN TEMPS MAINLY IN THE MID 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM FRIDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS CENTRAL NC UNDER STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE SOUTHEAST US. A STRONG LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY
MOVING THROUGH WV WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST THROUGH VA AND MAY CLIP THE
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NC AROUND MIDNIGHT.  IT IS UNCERTAIN
HOW FAR EAST THE STORMS WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD TOGETHER EAST OF THE
MOUNTAINS...BUT CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS AND NEAR TERM MODEL GUIDANCE
SUGGEST THERE IS ENOUGH OF A CHANCE FOR A TEMPO GROUP AT LEAST AT
KRWI.  IF THE LINE OF STORMS DOES MAINTAIN ITSELF...THEN A BRIEF
PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE...MOST LIKELY
AT KRWI AND KRDU.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ONCE AGAIN ON SATURDAY...WITH
ONLY A VERY ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM POSSIBLE.

LOOKING AHEAD:
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL SETTLE OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH PREDOMINATELY VFR
CONDITIONS. PROBABILITIES FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT
WEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL RETROGRADES SLOWLY WESTWARD.
