Area forecast discussion, Aug 2, 3:43 PM EDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
343 PM EDT THU AUG 2 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A MID-UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DRIFT SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL AND
EASTERN NC THIS EVENING. BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL OTHERWISE
DOMINATE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
THE NORTHWEST AND DIFFUSE OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND MIDDLE
ATLANTIC STATES EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 215 PM...

WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS NEAR AND EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE WITH
ISOLATED CONVECTION WEST. WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CONTINUING TO
MOVE EAST... EXITING THE AREA THIS EVENING... EXPECT CONVECTION TO
END RELATIVELY EARLY TONIGHT. SOME FOG LATE TONIGHT IN THE RURAL FOG
PRONE LOCATIONS. LOW TEMPERATURES 71 TO 75.

SOME MODELS INDICATING A WEAK TROUGH LIFTING OUT OF GEORGIA INTO THE
NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS FRIDAY... WEAKENING AS IT APPROACHES.
WITH THIS FEATURE WEAKENING AND TO OUR WEST... AND WITH NO FORECAST
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT... WILL NOT PLACE ANY EMPHASIS ON THIS FEATURE
AS A RAIN MAKER... BUT ADMIT IT COULD BE CLOSE.

LOW LEVEL WINDS MORE SOLIDLY FROM THE SOUTH FRIDAY AND COULD
ASSIST THE SEABREEZE INTO SAMPSON AND CUMBERLAND COUNTIES IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE BEST POTENTIAL ENERGY WILL BE LOCATED THERE AND
AFTERNOON RAIN CHANCES ONE IN FOUR SOUTHEAST DROPPING TO ONE IN
SEVEN JUST WEST OF HIGHWAY ONE... AND APPROACHING ONE IN FOUR IN THE
NORTHWEST PIEDMONT WHERE MID LEVEL WINDS SLIGHTLY STRONGER AND MORE
CYCLONIC THAN TODAY. SEVERE THREAT MAINLY CONFINED TO THE SOUTHEAST.
MINIMALLY LOWER 1000 TO 850 MILLIBAR THICKNESS FRIDAY THAN TODAY...
AND HIGH TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO A TOUCH COOLER... MOSTLY LOWER 90S.

CONVECTION COULD LAST DEEP INTO THE NIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE WEST
HALF WHERE WEAK MID LEVEL TROUGHING WILL SUSTAIN CYCLONIC WINDS AT
THAT LEVEL FOR A RISK OF ELEVATED CONVECTION. AN STRONGER THAN USUAL
SURFACE INVERSION WILL ALLOW A WEAK LOW LEVEL JET TO DEVELOP... ALSO
AIDING THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION AFTER DARK.

SOME STRATUS AND FOG LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS
TRAPPED BELOW THE INVERSION. THIS SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES UP A
TOUCH... WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.
WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS NEAR AND EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE WITH
ISOLATED CONVECTION WEST. WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CONTINUING TO

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM THURSDAY...

A MID LEVEL TROUGH MOST EVIDENT AT H7 WAS ANALYZED OVER THE MO
VALLEY AT 12Z/2ND...AND THIS FEATURE AND ASSOCIATED LIFT AND MOIST
AXIS IS FORECAST TO DRIFT AND DEAMPLIFY INTO THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS BY SATURDAY. LITTLE FURTHER EASTWARD PROGRESS IS
EXPECTED...HOWEVER... OWING TO STRONG SUBTROPICAL HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. AS SUCH...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE
MAXIMIZED OVER THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PIEDMONT SAT...IN CLOSEST
PROXIMITY TO THE MID LEVEL TROUGH...WITH JUST ISOLATED CONVECTION
EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. OTHERWISE...A STRONG NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH
ALOFT WILL MIGRATE EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND GREAT
LAKES DURING THE WEEKEND...WHICH WILL FORCE AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE
COLD FRONT SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD TO NEAR THE SPINE OF THE
APPALACHIANS BY SUNDAY NIGHT. WITH FURTHER DEAMPLIFICATION OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED H7 TROUGH...AND THE DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
NORTHERN EXPECTED TO HOLD TO OUR NORTH...CENTRAL NC SHOULD BE
LARGELY DEVOID OF CONVECTION...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ISOLATED
ACTIVITY INVOF THE SEA BREEZE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL COASTAL
PLAIN...ON SUN. NEAR CLIMO TEMPS WITHIN A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF 90
FOR HIGHS...AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

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

SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT PATTERN OVER CENTRAL NC...LONGWAVE TROUGHING
WILL AGAIN BECOME ESTABLISHED INVOF THE APPALACHIANS FOR THE
UPCOMING WEEK. NUMEROUS HARD TO TIME SHORTWAVES WITHIN THE FLOW AND
A PERSISTENT PIEDMONT TROUGH/CONVERGENCE AXIS BENEATH THE CYCLONIC
FLOW ALOFT...WILL FAVOR AT OR ABOVE AVERAGE AND DIURNALLY-MAXIMIZED
CHANCES OF WEAKLY-SHEARED PULSE CONVECTION THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD...PARTICULARLY MON-TUE WHEN A DIFFUSING FRONTAL ZONE/OUTFLOW
FROM UPSTREAM CONVECTION NOTED IN THE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION WILL
MAKE THE CLOSEST APPROACH INTO OR JUST NW OF CENTRAL NC. LOWER
