AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
745 AM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEPENING WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS WILL ACCELERATE NORTHEAST...REACHING SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND BY LATE THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...THE TRAILING SFC COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE CAROLINAS THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.
DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY AND
LINGER THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

OVERVIEW: A VERY DYNAMIC AND ENERGETIC WEATHER PATTERN WILL MAKE FOR
AN ACTIVE WEATHER DAY ACROSS THE CAROLINAS.

AMPLIFYING NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH OVER THE MIDWEST/UPPER MS RIVER
VALLEY WILL EJECT NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE NORTHEAST US
TODAY...REACHING THE SOUTHEASTERN CANADA BY TONIGHT. AS THE NORTHERN
STREAM TROUGH AMPLIFIES...IT WILL HELP DRAW THE SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE
CURRENTLY OVER THE MOUTH OF THE MS VALLEY NORTHWARD...SHEARING APART
AS IT LIFTS NORTHWARD ALONG THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. STRONG
SYNOPTIC SCALE HEIGHT FALLS IN RESPONSE TO THE DIGGING NORTHERN
STREAM SYSTEM WILL GIVE RISE TO A DEEPENING SFC LOW INVOF THE OHIO
VALLEY/MID-ATLANTIC REGION THIS MORNING.  AS THE SURFACE LOW
ACCELERATES NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA...THE TRAILING SFC
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING AND INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

PRECIP CHANCES: STRONG WARM MOIST AIR ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF THE
NORTHWARD RETREATING WARM FRONT AND ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
STRENGTHENING 50-60KT H8 LLJ WILL RESULT IN A RAPID INCREASE IN POPS
THIS MORNING(BETWEEN 09 TO 12Z)...FURTHER AIDED BY MID/UPPER LEVEL
PERTURBATIONS EMANATING NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE PRIMARY SOUTHERN
STREAM WAVE OVER LOUISIANA. BETTER RAIN CHANCES THIS MORNING
ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE...AND WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH THE LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF LULL IN PRECIP CHANCES DURING THE
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON AS THE BETTER LOW-LEVEL DYNAMICS ACCOMPANYING
THE CONTINUED STRENGTHENING LLJ RACES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND THE
INCOMING FRONTAL CONVERGENCE ZONE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE
WEST BETWEEN 00 TO 09Z.

TEMPERATURES: WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER ALONG WITH THE EXPECTED ONGOING
AREA OF SHOWERS/RAIN ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING WILL MAKE FOR
QUITE A CHALLENGING TEMPERATURE FORECAST. STILL BELIEVE AFTERNOON
THAT AN EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON LULL WILL ALLOW FOR AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND INTO THE UPPER 70S NW TO LOWER-MID 80S
SOUTHEAST. AS FAR AS LOWS TONIGHT...DELAYED WEST TO EAST ARRIVAL OF
COOLER AIR IN FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL MAKE FOR
A WIDE RANGE IN OVERNIGHT LOWS...RANGING FROM MID-UPPER 50S
NORTHWEST TO UPPER 60S/AROUND 70 SOUTHEAST.

SEVERE THREAT:
THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ALL OF CENTRAL NC IN A SLIGHT RISK
FOR TODAY. WITH THE WARM FRONT HAVING RETREATED NORTHWARD INTO
VIRGINIA...WARM SECTOR DESTABILIZATION IS UNDERWAY ACROSS CENTRAL NC
THIS MORNING...WITH WEAK 500 J/KG OF SBCAPE ANALYZED ACROSS
THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. LOW-LEVEL SHEAR WILL BE ENHANCED/MAXIMIZED
OVER THE AREA BETWEEN 09 TO 15Z IN ASSOCIATED WITH THE 50-60 KT LLJ
MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. WHILE INSTABILITY MAY BE WEAK/LACKING...
IMPRESSIVE LOW-LEVEL KINEMATICS OF  0-1KM SRH OF 300 TO 400 UNITS
AND 0-1KM OF BULK SHEAR OF 30 TO 40KTS WILL BE CONDUCIVE FOR
ROTATING UPDRAFTS/TORNADO THREAT WITH ANY STRONG CONVECTION THAT CAN
DEVELOP.

BY THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING...AN ENVIRONMENT MORE
CONDUCIVE FOR THUNDERSTORM DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED AS THE
LLJ RACES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A BAND/LINE OF
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE
WEST WITH DAYTIME HIGH POTENTIALLY ALLOWING MODERATE INSTABILITY TO
DEVELOP OVER THE AREA. RESIDENTS OF CENTRAL NC ARE ADVISED TO STAY
ABREAST TO THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST AND POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER
WATCHES AND WARNINGS FOR CENTRAL NC THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM/WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 200 AM TUESDAY...

THE INITIAL UPPER SHORT WAVE WILL BE LIFTING OUT OF THE BROADER
UPPER TROF OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. THE DEEP MOISTURE AXIS WILL BE
ALONG THE COAST WEDNESDAY MORNING...MOVING OFFSHORE AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. WILL HAVE LINGERING POPS IN THE EAST WHERE WEAK
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE TRAILING H85 TROF AND LAGGING SHALLOW MOISTURE
AND WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE JUXTAPOSED WITH THE ENTRANCE REGION
OF THE DEPARTING UPPER JET. CLOUD COVERAGE WILL REMAIN PERVASIVE DUE
TO THE LAGGING H85 TROF...BUT LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL BE
ONGOING THROUGH THE DAY...WITH A LOSS OF 30 METERS OF LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS SUPPORTIVE OF A TEMP DIFF OF ~10 DEGREES FROM
TUESDAY...UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

MOISTURE LINGERING ALONG THE COAST SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH OFFSHORE TO
PRECLUDE ALL BUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AS HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGES DOWN THE EASTERN APPALACHIANS. WILL SEE MORE SUN AND
HIGHS UP A FEW DEGREES...LOW TO MID 70S AFTER MORNING LOWS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 200 AM TUESDAY...

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EAST COAST WILL PERMIT AT LEAST MODEST
INSOLATION AND CONTINUED MODIFICATION/WARMING OF THE AIRMASS IN
PLACE OVER THE AREA ON FRIDAY...HIGHS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL...80 PLUS
OR MINUS A COUPLE OF DEGREES. WILL STILL HAVE A LINGERING SMALL
CHANCE OF SHOWERS EAST OF INTERSTATE 95 WITH ONSHORE MOISTURE
ADVECTION.

A STRONG SHORT WAVE DIVING INTO THE ALREADY AMPLIFIED TROF OVER THE
CENTRAL CONUS WILL NUDGE A COLD FRONT EAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
AND INTO THE APPALACHIANS SATURDAY. MOISTURE ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS
FRONT WILL BE MEAGER WITH LIMITED...MAINLY WESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE
GULF. POPS WILL BE ISOLATED...BUT EXPECT THIS FLOW TO NUDGE TEMPS UP
ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS IN THE SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY TIME
FRAME...ACCOMPANIED BY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION...LIMITED BY
WEAK MOISTURE ADVECTION BUT ITS STILL UNCLEAR HOW MUCH UPPER SUPPORT
WILL BE PROVIDED BY JET STREAKS AROUND THE EASTWARD ADVECTING UPPER
TROF. FRONT TIMING AND ONSET OF COOL AIR ADVECTION WILL PRODUCE A
WIDER TEMP SPREAD SUNDAY...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM LOWER 70S WEST TO
NEAR 80 EAST.

COOL AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN...HIGHS MOSTLY 70 TO 75 AFTER MORNING LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER
50S.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 730 AM TUESDAY...

STRONG SURGE OF WARM MOIST AIR ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF NORTHWARD
RETREATING WARM FRONT AND ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
STRENGTHENING/POWERFUL 50 TO 60KT SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL JET NOSING IN
FROM THE SOUTH WILL SUPPORT AREAS OF STRATUS AND SCATTERED SHOWER
AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS MORNING. MVFR TO LOW END
VFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY WITH THE LOWEST
CEILINGS EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. OTHERWISE...BREEZY
SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH ARE EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA
THIS MORNING...DIMINISHING IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE LLJ RACES OFF TO
THE NE.

THERE COULD BE A LULL IN PRECIP/STORMS LATE THIS MORNING AND INTO
THE AFTERNOON BEFORE A BAND/LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPS
AND MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT THE WEST. RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY... A
RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST.

&&

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