Area forecast discussion, May 23, 2:59 PM EDT, 58 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
259 PM EDT WED MAY 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DRIFT EAST ACROSS OUR REGION TODAY...
KEEPING THE WEATHER UNSETTLED. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
IN FROM THE OHIO VALLEY REGION THIS WEEKEND BRINGING HOTTER AND
DRIER CONDITIONS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM...

CONVECTION IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AND SANDHILLS WHERE PARAMETERS FOR
SEVERE WEATHER ARE BEST. EXPECT CONVECTION TO DEVELOP FURTHER
NORTHEAST AS THESE AREAS REACH INTO THE LOWER 80S THIS AFTERNOON.
SLIGHT SEVERE THREAT ALL BUT THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT WITH THE THREAT
MARGINALLY HIGHER AS ONE GOES EAST. STILL EXPECTING NEARLY ALL
CONVECTION TO DISSIPATE IN THE LATE EVENING... WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS
INTO THE NIGHT.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS HIGH TONIGHT. THE AIR MASS ABOVE 10000
FEET WILL DRY SIGNIFICANTLY AS DAWN APPROACHES IN THE SOUTHEAST.
WIDESPREAD STRATUS MOST LIKELY IN THE SOUTHEAST AFTER 4 OR 5 AM BUT
POSSIBLE ALMOST ANYWHERE... BUT PERHAPS PATCHIER. DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOWER 60S TONIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS AND LONG PERIODS OF CALM. LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 60S NORTHWEST... MID 60S ELSEWHERE.

MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO POOL IN THE FOOTHILLS OF VIRGINIA UNDER LOW
LEVEL SOUTH TO SOUTH SOUTHEAST FLOW... PERHAPS EXTENDING SOUTH INTO
NORTH CAROLINA. A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 64 AFTER
SUNRISE THURSDAY IN WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. MID AND UPPER LEVEL
DRYING SPREADS ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. LOW
LEVEL WINDS BEST IN THE EAST AND NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE MEAGER AT AROUND SIX DEGREES
PER KILOMETER. GIVEN THE DRYNESS ALOFT... WILL HOLD RAIN CHANCES AT
NO MORE THAN ONE IN FOUR. A WARMER START TO THE DAY WITH TRIGGER
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 80S... BUT DRYNESS ALOFT COULD LEAVE
INITIATION OF CONVECTION AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME... THE EARLY
AFTERNOON.

STRATUS SHOULD DISSIPATE MUCH EARLIER THURSDAY THAN TODAY AND
SUNSHINE WILL BOOST LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES.
HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND 83 NORTHWEST AND MID 80S ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 240 PM WEDNESDAY...

NWP GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE EXPANSION OF A
SEASONABLY STRONG MID LEVEL RIDGE -- CHARACTERIZED BY H7 HEIGHTS
AROUND 322 DM -- FROM THE GULF COAST STATES TO THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS...WITH AN ACCOMPANYING EXTENSION OF A SURFACE RIDGE
ACROSS THE CAROLINAS AND WESTERN ATLANTIC. TEMPERATURES WILL
ACCORDINGLY TREND ABOVE AVERAGE THROUGH THE PERIOD - IN THE
MID-UPPER 80S FRI TO GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...THE CORE OF ANOMALOUSLY WARM
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF CENTRAL NC OWING
TO BOTH A MARINE-REGULATED EASTERLY COMPONENT OF THE LOW LEVEL FLOW
AROUND THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SURFACE RIDGE...AND TO THE
PLACEMENT OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE TO OUR NW (HEAT IN CENTRAL NC IS
FAVORED WHEN THE MID LEVEL RIDGE IS POSITIONED TO OUR SW - INVOF THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS). THE PRESENCE OF THE RIDGE AND RESULTANT
SUBSIDENCE AND WARMING/CAPPING ALOFT SUGGESTS ANY CONVECTION WILL BE
SPARSE...DIURNALLY-DRIVEN...AND CONFINED PRIMARILY TO THE SEA BREEZE
AND/OR BLUE RIDGE.  LOWS WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 65 EXPECTED. -MWS

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 255 PM WEDNESDAY...

GUIDANCE...TO VARYING DEGREES...SUGGESTS THE MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL
GRADUALLY BREAK DOWN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...IN RESPONSE TO
THE PROGRESSION OF A WESTERN NOAM TROUGH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THE
ASSOCIATED HEIGHT FALLS ALOFT WILL BOTH DECREASE PRECEDING CAPPING
ALOFT...AND DRAW NORTHWARD A PLUME OF TROPICAL MOISTURE LOCATED OVER
THE NW CARIBBEAN THIS AFTERNOON. AS SUCH...CHANCES FOR CONVECTION
WILL INCREASE TUE AND ESPECIALLY BY WED...WITH SLIGHTLY LESS
WARM...BUT CONTINUED ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.  -MWS

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM...

CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON IN THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTH COASTAL PLAIN
SHOULD DEVELOP FURTHER NORTHEAST AS TEMPERATURES WARM IN THAT AREA.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LESS WIDESPREAD FURTHER WEST AND NORTHWEST.
EXPECTING NEARLY ALL CONVECTION TO END BY LATE EVENING THOUGH
ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY PERSIST INTO THE NIGHT. STRATUS AND FOG
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT... BEING MOST WIDESPREAD IN THE
SOUTHEAST. LOW CLOUDINESS SHOULD RISE TO VFR OR DISSIPATE A FEW
HOURS AFTER SUNRISE WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF THE NORTHWEST
WHERE MVFR CEILINGS MAY LINGER TO NOON. AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
THURSDAY... MAINLY NORTH AND EAST PARTS.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND REMAIN
OVERHEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AVIATION CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN
LARGELY VFR DURING THIS TIME.

&&

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