AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
200 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES
THROUGH WEDNESDAY... WHILE A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
TRACKS SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE OHIO VALLEY ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC
REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1015 AM SUNDAY...

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW: THE MID LEVEL PATTERN REMAINS FAIRLY STAGNANT
WITH 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSES SHOWING AN ANTICYCLONE CENTERED OVER GA
AND A FAIRLY SWIFT (FOR JULY) WNW FLOW TO ITS NORTH AND NORTHWEST...
ON THE ORDER OF 35-40 KTS NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER. AN 850 MB TROUGH
EXTENDS THROUGH CENTRAL NC... JUST EAST OF THE ANTICYCLONE CORE
BETWEEN BIRMINGHAM AND ATLANTA (A SLIGHT BUMP TO THE SW FROM 24 HRS
AGO)... AND TEMPS HERE REMAIN QUITE WARM AT 24-25C. AT THE
SURFACE... A WEAK PRESSURE TROUGH EXTENDED FROM VA ACROSS KY AND
CENTRAL IL TO SE IA... WITH THE STRONGER SYNOPTIC FRONT FURTHER
NORTH FROM MN ACROSS SRN MI AND NRN OH THROUGH PA/NYC... AND A
SURFACE TROUGH THROUGH THE WRN PIEDMONT OF THE CAROLINAS TO CENTRAL
GA.

PRECIP CHANCES AND SEVERE RISK: WITH EVIDENCE OF A STRONG EML ON
REGIONAL SOUNDINGS... LAPSE RATES THROUGH THE COLUMN IN THE VICINITY
AND UPSTREAM REMAIN RATHER HIGH... 6 C/KM AT 0-3 KM AND STEEPENING
RAPIDLY... AND LIKEWISE IN THE MID LEVELS AT 7.5-8.0... EXPECTED TO
RISE TOWARD 8.5 C/KM. MODELS ARE CONSISTENTLY SHOWING VERY STRONG
INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON WITH LIFTED INDICES OF -10C TO -15C AND
OVER 5000 J/KG OF MLCAPE MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1. THE 0C
TO -20C LAYER ALOFT CONTINUES TO MOISTEN WITH RISING PW... AND GIVEN
EXPECTATIONS OF VIGOROUS PARCEL ACCELERATION THIS AFTERNOON WITHIN
THE MIXED PHASE HAIL GROWTH ZONE (-10C TO -30C LAYER CAPE OVER 1500
J/KG) AND IMPROVING DEEP LAYER SHEAR TO 25-40 KTS... THE RISK OF
SEVERE STORMS -- LIKELY BEGINNING AS DISCRETE HAIL-PRODUCING CELLS
BEFORE MORPHING INTO A QUASI-LINEAR SEVERE-WIND-DOMINANT CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX (SUGGESTED BY THE DEEP AND STILL RATHER DRY MIXED LAYER ON
FORECAST SOUNDINGS. FORWARD-PROPAGATING OUTFLOW FROM LAST NIGHT'S
MCS OVER SRN IN IS STRENGTHENING ANEW OVER THE KY/VA BORDER...
SUPPORTED BY STRENGTHENING UPPER DIVERGENCE... AND THIS FEATURE IS
ON PACE TO REACH OUR CWA BY 1 PM. THE UPPER DIVERGENCE MAXIMUM IS
EXPECTED TO SPREAD THROUGH CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING. THE SURFACE INVERSION HAS NOT YET MIXED OUT WITH ABUNDANT
CONVECTIVE INHIBITION REMAINING BUT ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS HIGH AND
THE INVERSION SHOULD BE QUICKLY BROKEN AS TEMPS (ALREADY IN THE MID
80S TO NEAR 90) STEADILY CLIMB. THE COMBINATION OF INCREASING
DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT (WHICH INCLUDES THE MCV RESULTING FROM
THE IN MCS) AND INSTABILITY (BUOYED BY SURFACE DEW POINTS THAT ARE
MUCH HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY... BY 5 TO 15 DEGREES OUTSIDE OF THE
OUTFLOW-AFFECTED TRIAD) SUGGESTS A GOOD CHANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS SPREADING OVER NC THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

REGARDING TEMPS... THE MORNING CONVECTIVE-DEBRIS MID CLOUDS HELPED
HOLD READINGS UP A BIT OVERNIGHT... AS DID THE SURGE IN DEW POINTS.
AS THESE CLOUDS ARE ALREADY DEPARTING... HEATING IS STRONG WITH
CURRENT TEMPS RUNNING NEAR TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE THE TEMPS AT THIS
TIME YESTERDAY (THIS IS DUE IN PART TO THE WARMER LOWS HOWEVER).
WITH THICKNESSES CLOSE TO YESTERDAY... EXPECT READINGS TO CONTINUE
TO SOAR THROUGH THE 90S... ALTHOUGH THE INSTANCES OF 100+ READINGS
MAY NOT BE AS PLENTIFUL AS YESTERDAY GIVEN THE ARRIVAL OF THE
CONVECTION FROM OUR NORTHWEST... AND WITH THE LIKELIHOOD OF SOME
HIGH-BASED CONVECTIVE AND SEA-BREEZE CLOUDS. THE SLIGHTLY LOWER
TEMPS WILL BE MORE THAN OFFSET BY THE HIGHER HUMIDITY TO CREATE
OPPRESSIVE HEAT INDEX VALUES... THUS THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL
BE LEFT AS IS THROUGH EARLY EVENING... SINCE SUCCESSIVE DAYS OF THIS
KIND OF HEAT WITH SCANT LITTLE RELIEF AT NIGHT HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO
EXACERBATE THE RISKS OF HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES. HIGHS 98-104 AND
LOWS TONIGHT 71-77. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 340 AM...

MODELS CONSISTENT IN KEEPING SURFACE TROUGH OVER CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA INTO MONDAY NIGHT... BUT WITH RISING PRESSURES... WHILE 850
MILLIBAR HEIGHTS RELATIVELY STATIC. THUS EXPECT LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES TO FALL AND TRIPLE DIGIT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO RETREAT
SOUTH. HOWEVER SOME HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER 99 DEGREES STILL
EXPECTED... MAINLY SOUTH... AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 95. WITH LOW 70S
DEWPOINTS EXPECTED IN THE SOUTH... WILL RETAIN A EXCESSIVE HEAT
WATCH FOR AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF GOLDSBORO TO WADESBORO. HEAT
ADVISORIES MAY VERIFY ELSEWHERE ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE... BUT
TOO FAR OUT IN TIME FOR ISSUANCE OF ADVISORIES. HIGH TEMPERATURES 98
TO 101.

MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES BECOME LESS STEEP BUT INSTABILITY AND
POTENTIAL ENERGY SIMILAR TO SUNDAY PERSIST. CONVECTIVE TRIGGER
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE HIGH AND MOST CONVECTION SHOULD NOT FIRE UNTIL
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON MONDAY. SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE
PRIMARILY DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS BUT STRENGTH MINIMALLY TRIMMED BY
LESS SEVERE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND REDUCED DOWNDRAFT CAPE. ONE
INCH HAIL A LESSER THREAT.

CONVECTION MOST LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO THE NIGHT NEAR AND EAST OF
THE SURFACE TROUGH... HIGHWAY ONE AND EAST. CONVECTION AND SEVERE
THREAT MAY PERSIST TO SUNRISE WITH A LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPING ONCE
THE NEAR SURFACE INVERSION SETS UP. AMPLE MOISTURE ABOVE 10000 FEET
TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION. 40 PERCENT CHANCES EAST AND 30 WEST. LOW
LEVEL THICKNESSES FORECAST TO FALL TO NEAR 1425 METERS AT GREENSBORO
BY SUNRISE TUESDAY. CLOUDS AND MOISTURE WILL INHIBIT COOLING. STRONG
DOWNDRAFTS MAY SEND SOME READINGS INTO THE UPPER 60S... BUT LOW TO
MID 70S FOR LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE MORE COMMON.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 340 AM SUNDAY...

MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A GENERAL NW FLOW ALOFT AROUND THE
MID LEVEL RIDGE SITUATED OVER THE SOUTHEAST -- A PATTERN FAVORABLE
FOR RIDGE-RIDING CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS THIS TIME OF YEAR -- WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THIS PATTERN WILL BE FOLLOWED
BY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A WEAKNESS/SHEAR AXIS IN THE HOT MID LEVEL
RIDGE...ENCOURAGED BY A TROUGH OFFSHORE THE PAC NW COAST THIS
MORNING...BY THU INTO THE WEEKEND. BOTH PATTERNS SUGGEST
PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE AT OR ABOVE CLIMO - IN THE
20-30 PERCENT RANGE. CONSENSUS H85 TEMPS WITHIN A DEGREE OR TWO OF
20 SUGGESTS CONTINUED HOT CONDITIONS...WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY
92 TO 99 AND LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S EACH DAY AND NIGHT...RESPECTIVELY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM SUNDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THROUGH MIDDAY MONDAY AT ALL SITES. BUT
THE MAIN CONCERN IS SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. SUCH STORMS HAVE ALREADY AFFECTED INT AND GSO WITH
NORTHWESTERLY (CROSSWIND AT GSO) WINDS BRIEFLY SUSTAINED NEAR 20 AND
GUSTING TO 30-35 KTS. SIMILAR WINDS... AND STRONGER THAT COULD GUST
TO 50 KTS... WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR A 1-2 HR PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON AT
ALL LOCATIONS. EVEN NOT CLOSE TO A STORM... A GUST FRONT EXTENDING
FROM JUST SOUTH OF BURLINGTON THROUGH HILLSBOROUGH TO NEAR ROXBORO
WILL BRING WINDS OF 35-40 KTS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR ALL TAF SITES UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING. MVFR FOG IS
POSSIBLE 08Z-13Z MONDAY MORNING AT RDU/FAY/RWI.

BEYOND MIDDAY MONDAY... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS ARE POSSIBLE
FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH AFTERNOON... AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER
50 MPH COULD OCCUR IN AND NEAR ANY STORMS. OTHERWISE... VFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO HOLD... WITH POSSIBLY SOME EARLY MORNING
MVFR FOG. -GIH
