AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
307 PM EDT FRI AUG 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA THIS EVENING AND MOVE INTO
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA ON SATURDAY..  MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN US AND BRING PERIODS OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM FRIDAY...

THE COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM THE OH VALLEY TO THE MID MS RIVER
VALLEY IS MAKING VERY SLOW PROGRESS TODAY...WHILE THE PIEDMONT
TROUGH AND REMNANT OUTFLOW/UPPER VORTICITY FROM THURSDAYS CONVECTION
ARE HELPING TO TRIGGER CONVECTION OVER THE NC MOUNTAINS AND SC
PIEDMONT.  SPC MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS A RELATIVE MIN IN INSTABILITY
OVER THE NC PIEDMONT DUE TO DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. A SLOW
DEWPOINT RECOVERY IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE
PIEDMONT TROUGH AS IT SHARPENS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND
INCREASINGLY CYCLONIC UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER THE EASTERN US.   STORMS
CURRENTLY WEST OF HICKORY SHOULD STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR
STRENGTHEN AS THEY APPROACH THE YADKIN RIVER AND A LESS FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT.  CONVECTION NEAR THE CHARLOTTE AREA HAS A BETTER CHANCE
OF PROGRESSING INTO THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT WHERE INSTABILITY IS
SLIGHTLY BETTER.  LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE INCREASED TO OVER 8
C/KM AND THE WESTERN HALF OF THE LIES ON THE EASTERN FRINGE OF THE
STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW AND 20-25KT OF EFFECTIVE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR.
THUS...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THESE STORMS COULD MERGE INTO A COMMON
COLD POOL AND PRESENT A THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.
HOWEVER...THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE LESS FAVORABLE WITH EASTWARD
EXTENT...SO THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD MAINLY BE CONFINED TO THE
SOUTHERN PIEDMONT.

TONIGHT...MASS CONVERGENCE AND LOW LEVEL THETA E ADVECTION ALONG THE
SURFACE TROUGH..ALONG WITH INCREASING MID /UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE AND
PW INCREASING TOWARD 2 INCHES...SHOULD HELP TO CONTINUE SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLY A FEW STORMS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  THERE SHOULD BE A
DOWNWARD TREND IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT
ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN AS THE
TROUGH SETTLES EASTWARD.  LOWS 68-72.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 307 PM EDT FRIDAY...

.SATURDAY...MID LEVEL SHEAR AXIS AND ATTENDANT SURFACE TROUGH
ENTERING WESTERN NC EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL DRIFT EAST OVERNIGHT
AND SHOULD LIE/BISECT CENTRAL NC EARLY SATURDAY. THIS FEATURE
INTERACTING WITH AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND MARGINAL/WEAK INSTABILITY
WILL WARRANT A SOLID CHANCE /LOW END LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE COASTAL
PLAIN WITH SMALL CHANCE POPS IN THE NW. IF FEATURE IS AS PROGRESSIVE
AS ADVERTISED BY THE 12Z GFS...POPS AFTER 15-18Z SATURDAY MAY BE TOO
HIGH BY 15-20 PERCENT.

STILL UNCERTAIN AS TO THE THREAT FOR SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. BEST SUPPORT ALOFT MOVES EAST OF THE REGION BY
AFTERNOON...THOUGH INCREASING MID LEVEL FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE
DEPARTING SHEAR AXIS INCREASES THE BULK SHEAR ACROSS THE NORTH TO
35KTS BY 00Z SUNDAY. SURFACE COLD FRONT (CURRENTLY EDGING SLOWLY SE
ACROSS THE LOWER OH-TN VALLEYS AT 18Z) EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE
NORTHERN COUNTIES SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND DRIFT SWD. THIS FEATURE
SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
T-STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY EAST OF HIGHWAY ONE WHERE
BETTER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL RESIDE. SEVERE WEATHER
PARAMETERS RATHER MEAGER BUT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A MENTION OF
ISOLATED SEVERE IN THE HWO FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON-EVENING.

TEMPS SATURDAY DEPENDENT UPON THE AMOUNT OF INSOLATION ACHIEVED AS
CLOUDINESS MAY BE EXTENSIVE. IN ADDITION...SCATTERED CONVECTION MAY
DEVELOP EARLY ENOUGH TO LIMIT NORMAL TEMP RECOVERY. WILL CONTINUE
FORECAST OF LOW-MID 80S FOR MAX TEMPS SATURDAY.

SATURDAY NIGHT...SURFACE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SAG SLOWLY SWD.
STILL ENOUGH MOISTURE THROUGH THE COLUMN TO SUGGEST A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS OVER THE SE HALF OVERNIGHT. SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MAY WORK
ITS WAYS INTO THE FAR N-NW PIEDMONT BY MORNING. IF CLOUDS CLEAR
OUT...COULD SEE AREAS OF FOG DEVELOP PRIOR TO DAYBREAK IN THE
NORTHEAST-SOUTHERN PIEDMONT. MIN TEMPS MID-UPPER 60S.

SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW BEGINS TO BACK OVER
CENTRAL NC IN RESPONSE TO A DIGGING MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE
GREAT LAKES-OH VALLEY. THIS WILL CAUSE THE SURFACE BOUNDARY IN
VICINITY OF OUR SC BORDER TO RETREAT SLOWLY NWD SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT. THE DEVELOPING SW FLOW WILL ADVECT MOISTURE BACK INTO THE
PIEDMONT THOUGH 850MB FLOW DIVERGENT OVER THE REGION TIL 00Z MON. IF
ENOUGH HEATING OCCURS SUNDAY...COULD ATTAIN ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO
CAUSE SCATTERED T-STORMS TO DEVELOP. PER 12Z GFS LOW LEVEL WIND
FIELD...ENOUGH HELICITY MAY EXIST TO SUPPORT A FEW ROTATING
UPDRAFTS...ESPECIALLY IN VICINITY OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. SINCE
SOME QUESTION AS TO THE AMOUNT OF LIFT OCCURRING UPSTAIRS...WILL
LIMIT POPS TO CHANCE CATEGORY. THREAT OF SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL
PERSIST INTO SUNDAY EVENING THOUGH SHOULD SEE BULK OF CONVECTION
DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF HEATING.  FAIRLY EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVERAGE
SUNDAY SHOULD RESULT IN AN UNIFORM MAX TEMPS FIELD IN THE LOW-MID
80S. MIN TEMPS IN THE 60S.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MAINTAIN
A POSITION IMMEDIATELY TO OUR WEST MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT THEN LIFT
SLOWLY N-NE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL
MAINTAIN A SW FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA KEEPING THE AIR MASS
ADEQUATELY MOIST. S/WS IN THIS FLOW WILL KEEP OUT ATMOSPHERE
UNSETTLED WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND T-STORMS EXPECTED WITH EACH
PASSING WAVE. HOWEVER...TIMING THIS FAR OUT QUESTIONABLE THOUGH
MAJORITY OF MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE APPEARS TO BE KEYING ON A
DISTURBANCE ROTATING AROUND THE  BASE OF THE TROUGH OVER THE LOWER
OH VALLEY. DUE TO AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND POTENTIAL FOR LIFTING
MECHANISMS ALOFT...PLAN TO MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
IF GFS VERIFIES...COULD SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY/EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL OVER CENTRAL NC.

CONSIDERABLE CLOUD COVERAGE AND THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL HOLD DAYTIME
TEMPS A CATEGORY OR TWO BELOW NORMAL. MIN TEMPS MAINLY IN THE MID
60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 240 PM FRIDAY...

THIS PERIOD OF THE FORECAST HOLDS A LARGE  DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY AND
THE MODELS TO THIS POINT HAVE NOT AGREED ON MUCH. THERE IS AGREEMENT
THAT THERE WILL BE AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN US. IN ADDITION
THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL BE IN PLACE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC AT
THE SURFACE. THIS GENERAL PATTERN SHOULD AT LEAST GUARANTEE THAT THE
FLOW WILL BE GENERALLY SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN. THE GFS
FORECAST HINGES ON THE TROPICAL SYSTEM OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO HOLDING SOME SORT OF ORGANIZATION AND CARRYING IT UP ALONG
THE SURFACE FRONT AND ACROSS THE AREA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE
ECMWF DOES NOT HOLD THE TROPICAL FEATURE TOGETHER AS WELL BUT STILL
ADVECTS MOISTURE IN THE SAME GENERAL DIRECTION AS THE GFS BUT DOES
SO IN A SLOWER AND WEAKER FASHION. THEREFORE THE GFS HAS WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY AS MORE CONDUCIVE FOR PRECIPITATION BUT THE ECMWF HOLDS
OFF UNTIL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SINCE THE TIMING IS ALOOF WILL GO
WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EACH DAY...MAXIMIZING CHANCES IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
80S WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S.
&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM FRIDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR MOST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVEN
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.  A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL PROGRESS
FROM THE MOUNTAINS TOWARDS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT...BUT IT IS STILL
UNCERTAIN AS TO HOW FAR EAST THEY WILL INITIALLY MAKE IT AND/OR HOW
STRONG THEY WILL BE.  KINT/KGSO SHOULD SEE SOME SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY
ISOLATED STORMS IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS BY 21-22Z. SHOWERS
AND STORMS WILL THEN CONTINUE EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS EVENING
AND TONIGHT ALONG A SURFACE TROUGH AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS MAY INCREASE OVER THE CENTRAL PIEDMONT PRIOR TO
MIDNIGHT...BUT ANY ISOLATES STORMS RE NOT EXPECTED TO BE STRONG AT
THAT POINT.  THUS..OUTSIDE OF THE HEAVIEST SHOWERS...VFR CONDITIONS
SHOULD PREVAIL.

THE SHOWERS WILL DIE OFF BY SUNRISE SATURDAY MORNING...BUT SHOULD
REDEVELOP BY MIDDAY SATURDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE
AREA...AND STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE FROM KRDU EASTWARD DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
WITH A LARGE UPPER TROUGH EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE
EASTERN US THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
