AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
302 PM EDT FRI JUL 20 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH WILL STALL OVER THE AREA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...PROVIDING FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER. AS THE FRONT
BASICALLY DISSIPATES BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...HIGH TEMPERATURES ONCE
AGAIN WILL WARM TO LEVELS ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON IN A REGIME WHERE THE MLCAPE WAS APPROACHING 2000J/KG ON
THE LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS...AND APPARENTLY NEAR A SHEAR AXIS ALOFT
ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THIS SHEAR AXIS WAS NOTED WEAKLY ON THE
700MB 12Z UPPER-AIR ANALYSIS...THOUGH ORIENTED AT THAT TIME WEAKLY
WEST TO EAST. EVENING CHALLENGE IS HOW THIS DEEP CONVECTION WILL
INFLUENCE...IF ANY...AN UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE MOVING EAST. LATER HRRR
WRF GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A REMNANT MCV MOVING FROM UPSTREAM ACROSS
AREAS FARTHER SOUTH THAN EARLIER RUNS...CLOSER TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA
BORDER AS OPPOSED TO NEARER THE VIRGINIA BORDER AND THE NORTHWEST
PIEDMONT. THE LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS WOULD PLACE THE WAVE FARTHER
NORTH...ALBEIT WEAK. 0-6KM SHEAR HAS STARTED TO INCREASE...AS
EARLIER ANTICIPATED...FROM THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS INTO THE
NORTHWEST PIEDMONT...AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT INCREASING CONVERGENCE
WITH THE SHEAR NOTED ON MSAS WILL HELP TO GRADUALLY INCREASE
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FARTHER NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF
MID-AFTERNOON DEEP CONVECTION. HAVE NOT GONE AS HIGH AS CATEGORICAL
FOR THE EVENING WITH THIS ISSUANCE DUE TO SOME UNCERTAINTIES IN
LOCATION. SEVERE POTENTIAL CONTINUES...MOSTLY PULSE OR MULTICELLULAR
IN NATURE WITH ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND THE PRIMARY THREAT. BUFR
SOUNDINGS WOULD INDICATE THAT 0-3KM HELICITY SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY
BELOW 100M2/S2...ALTHOUGH THIS EVENING MAINLY TOWARD KFAY AS THE
WINDS ALOFT INCREASE SLIGHTLY...SUCH VALUES RISE JUST ABOVE
100M2/S2. BY THAT TIME...ANY STORMS SHOULD START TO BECOME MORE
ELEVATED.

OVERNIGHT...THE WEAK SHEAR AXIS ALOFT SHOULD REMAIN NEAR OR CLOSER
TO THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. AS A WEAK 700MB SHORTWAVE FORECAST BY THE
NAM MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST...AND WITH THE MCV EXITING BETWEEN
03Z AND 06Z...CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE MAINLY OVER THE
COASTAL PLAIN AND PARTS OF THE SANDHILLS. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES
SHOULD RANGE FROM 70 TO 75 DEGREES...WARMEST TOWARD KFAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...

WEAK DIFFLUENCE ALOFT CONTINUES SATURDAY...ENHANCED SLIGHTLY BY THE
APPROACH OF TROUGHINESS ALOFT AND THE FAR SOUTHERN END OF A 60KT
UPPER JET MOVING TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
CONTINUE AROUND TWO INCHES...AND AS ANOTHER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS
FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE DAY AS THE
WEAKENING SURFACE FRONT SHOULD EDGE CLOSER TO THE VIRGINIA BORDER...
THE LIKELIHOOD FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS GOOD ONCE AGAIN OVER
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA BY AFTERNOON. THERE IS ALSO DECENT ADVECTION
OF POTENTIAL VORTICITY ON THE 1.5PVU SURFACE FORECAST BY AFTERNOON.
1000-500MB LAPSE RATES ARE WEAKER THAN WHAT SHOULD RESULT TODAY...
LESS THAN 6C/KM EXPECTED...WITH MINIMAL DCAPE AND LESSER MLCAPE AS
WELL. WHILE AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM CANNOT BE COMPLETED RULED OUT
WITH...AGAIN...THE PRIMARY THREAT OF WIND...PRIMARY THREAT FOR
SATURDAY SHOULD BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...MAINLY IN THE TYPICAL URBAN
OR POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. BIAS-CORRECTED MOS GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES ARE
ACTUALLY A BLEND OF THE MAV AND MET GUIDANCE AND MOSTLY MID 80S NEAR
THE VIRGINIA BORDER TO AROUND 90 TOWARD THE SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER.

OVERNIGHT SATURDAY...THE NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS DRY THE MID- AND
UPPER-LEVEL AIR MASS SOME...WITH A SLIGHT DECREASE IN OVERALL
MOISTURE. THE GFS IS MORE MOIST OVERALL...AND WHILE LEANING TOWARD
THE GFS...WOULD ANTICIPATE OVERALL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND ANY
THUNDERSTORMS TO DIMINISH DIURNALLY. WILL STILL CONTINUE A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE LATE EVENING AND EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OVERNIGHT...BASED ON THE
PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT...MOISTURE...AND ANY MID-LEVEL WAVE.
OVERNIGHT LOWS ONCE AGAIN 70 TO 75 DEGREES. - DJF

BY SUNDAY...MID LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
WILL BUILD EASTWARD...WHILE THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL BUILD WESTWARD...
RESULTING IN RISING HEIGHTS OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL RESULT IN
BOTH THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AND THE SURFACE TROUGH WEAKENING ACROSS
THE REGION. HOWEVER...AMPLE MOISTURE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...WITH PWAT VALUES PROGGED TO REMAIN ABOVE 2 INCHES.
THUS...AM STILL EXPECTING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS...MAINLY
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...HOWEVER GIVEN THE DIMINISHING
DYNAMIC SUPPORT...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SHOULD BE LESS THAN PREVIOUS
DAYS. TEMPS WILL ALSO BEGIN TO WARM SLIGHTLY...BUT STILL SHOULD
REMAIN NEAR TO SIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE...GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S TO
NEAR 90 DEGREES. OVERNIGHT LOWS ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOW
TO MID 70S. - KRR

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM FRIDAY...

OVERALL...THE REGION IS EXPECTED TO BE INFLUENCED BY BROAD MID LEVEL
RIDGING THAT WILL EXTEND FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE
SOUTHEAST...WITH CENTRAL NC ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE.
THEREFORE...WE WILL BE UNDER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT FOR MUCH OF
THE PERIOD AND HENCE THE POTENTIAL FOR WEAK DISTURBANCES TO IMPACT
THE AREA WILL LIKELY BE OUR MAIN CHANCES FOR ANY PRECIP BEYOND
TYPICAL SUMMERTIME CONVECTION. MODELS ALSO INDICATE (TO VARYING
DEGREES) A BACK DOOR FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA MIDWEEK...BUT GIVEN
THE TIME OF YEAR...WILL KEEP THE FRONT NORTH OF REGION FOR NOW. AS A
RESULT...SINCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TIME ANY WEAK UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES THIS FAR OUT...AM EXPECTING MOSTLY ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED DIURNAL TYPE PRECIP EACH DAY. THE HEAT WILL ALSO BEGIN TO
RETURN TO THE REGION...WITH GENERALLY LOW 90S ON MONDAY TRENDING TO
THE MID (MAYBE UPPER) 90S TOWARDS THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
OVERNIGHT LOW WILL REMAIN IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM FRIDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE THE RULE OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THIS EVENING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY
GUSTY WINDS...NOTE THE GUST TO 36KT AT KPOB AT 1718Z. OVERNIGHT...
IT IS DIFFICULT TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW CLOUDS. THE HIGHER
WINDS JUST OFF OF THE SURFACE WILL BE TOWARD KFAY AND KRWI LATE
TONIGHT...WHILE THE SREF MODEL HAS ITS HIGHEST PROBABILITIES MOSTLY
FROM KGSO AND KRDU SOUTHWEST...AND HIGHER THAN IT INITIALIZED THIS
MORNING WHEN MVFR AND LOCALLY IFR CEILINGS OCCURRED ACROSS CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH THAT THERE WILL BE AREAS
OF MVFR CEILINGS IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...BUT THE LOCATION OF THE
LOWER CEILINGS IS MORE UNCERTAIN. FOR THE 18Z VALID TAF...LEANED
TOWARD THE SREF OUTPUT WITH THE TEMPORARY CONDITIONS OF IFR CLOUDS
TOWARD KGSO AND KRDU...AND ONLY LOW MVFR CEILINGS AT KFAY AND KRWI
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY AFTER SUNRISE.

BEYOND THE 18Z VALID TAF PERIOD...ANTICIPATE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN A MOIST AIR MASS AGAIN BY LATE
SATURDAY MORNING...BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY EVENING. REMAINING SHOWERS SHOULD BECOME
MUCH MORE ISOLATED OR DIMINISH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCUR AGAIN SUNDAY...THEN ANY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD TEND TO BECOME MORE ISOLATED EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
THE COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTH CURRENTLY FROM VIRGINIA STALLS AND
DISSIPATES. LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING LOW CLOUDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE...WITH THE LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTING A BETTER POTENTIAL
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
