Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 8:34 PM EDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 834 PM EDT MON JUN 25 2012 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL DRIVE A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS A STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST...BRINGING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY THE END OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 230 PM MONDAY... OVERVIEW: AN AMPLIFYING NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SURGE SOUTH...REACHING THE VIRGINIA TIDEWATER REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA LATER THIS EVENING. NOTICEABLY DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE CAROLINAS ON TUESDAY AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGIONS BUILDS SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION. REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING: DEEP LAYER SCALE ASCENT ACCOMPANYING THE DIGGING SHORT WAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SURGE SOUTHEAST DOWN ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC SEABOARD...WITH THE CORE OF STRONG SYNOPTIC HEIGHT FALLS ON THE ORDER OF 60 TO 90 METER HEIGHT FALLS MOVING OFF THE DELMARVA COAST THIS EVENING. NORTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WILL BE ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS IMPRESSIVE SHORTWAVE TROUGH DYNAMICS...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 21 TO 03Z WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR INCREASING TO AROUND 35 TO 40 KNOTS DURING THAT TIME... ENHANCED BY THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION JET UNDERCUTTING THE DIGGING WAVE. BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER TROUGH/COLD FRONT FORCING... MODERATE TO STRONG DESTABILIZATION WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION... FOCUSED IN THE VICINITY OF OF THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH AND/OR DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY THAT HAS SETUP ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WHERE THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF SLOW STRATUS BURN OFF FROM EARLIER THIS MORNING AND BROKEN CIRRUS CANOPY ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTER CIRRUS BAND HAS RESULTED IN UNEQUAL HEATING. BUT STILL EXPECT THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT TO ACCOMPANY THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SOUTHWARD DROPPING FRONTAL ZONE AND INCREASING SHEAR FROM THE NORTH. GIVEN INCREASING SHEAR...EXPECT ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS WILL BE ORGANIZED...WITH ROTATING UPDRAFTS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. IN FACT...THE ENVIRONMENT APPEARS TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF LEFT/RIGHT SPLITTING SUPERCELLS (EQUALLY FAVORED) GIVEN UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. SHEAR PROFILES SHOW THE MAJORITY OF SPEED SHEAR IN THE MID LEVELS (10 TO 20 THOUSAND FEET AGL)...WITH NO MORE THAN 10 TO 15 KNOT FLOW BELOW TEN THOUSAND FEET AGL AND LITTLE IF ANY CLOCKWISE HODOGRAPH CURVATURE. SO...IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY MESOSCALE OR CONVECTIVE INTERACTIONS THAT ACT TO ENHANCE LOW LEVEL SHEAR...THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BE CONFINED TO DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. EXPECT THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO BE GREATEST BETWEEN 3 PM AND 11 PM WITH POPS TAPERING OFF FROM NORTH TO SOUTH BY 06Z AS FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. TONIGHT: MINIMUM TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AND DRIVEN BY COLD AIR ADVECTION. AT THIS TIME EXPECT THE COLD FRONT TO CROSS THE VIRGINIA/NORTH CAROLINA BORDER SHORTLY AFTER 00Z...AND THE NORTH CAROLINA/SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER BY OR SHORTLY AFTER 06Z. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES ARE FORECAST TO PLUMMET TO AROUND 1365 METERS AT KGSO BY 12Z/26 TUESDAY... APPROXIMATELY 40 METERS BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL VALUES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. COOLEST ACROSS THE NORTH WHERE COOLER AIR WILL BE FIRST TO ARRIVE. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER TO THE MID 60S SOUTH. TUESDAY: BUILDING CONTINENTAL POLAR AIR MASS WILL MAKE ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL CONDITIONS FOR LATE JUNE...WITH BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS INTO THE MID 40S RESULTING IN COMFORTABLE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES ARE PROJECTED TO BE AROUND 20 METERS BELOW NORMAL...SUPPORTING DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 79 TO 83. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 1230 PM MONDAY... LATEST FORECAST TRACK FOR TROPICAL STORM DEBBY TAKES THE STORM ACROSS THE UPPER FLORIDA PENINSULA IN THE THURSDAY TIME FRAME. THE STORM WILL REMAIN TOO FAR SOUTH TO INFLUENCE THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. UPPER TROUGH MIGRATES OFFSHORE WITH WARM CORE RIDGING BUILDING IN FROM THE MIDWEST. STRONG CAPPING ALOFT WILL SUPPRESS CONVECTION AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE UPSWING...FROM NEAR NORMAL MID TO UPPER 80S ON WEDNESDAY TO THE LOW...PERHAPS MID 90S ON THURSDAY. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 1230 PM MONDAY... THE TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM DEBBY REMAINS IN QUESTION AND A TRACK NEARER THE ATLANTIC COAST COULD PERHAPS PRODUCE SOME IMPACTS IN FAR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA IN THE LATE WEEKEND. OTHERWISE...THE MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST FLATTENS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CONUS INTO THE WEEKEND. THE RESULTING CAPPED ATMOSPHERE WITH HOT AIR MASS IN PLACE AND COPIOUS SUN WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO APPROACH RECORD TRIPLE DIGITS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. RETROGRESSION WESTWARD OF THE RIDGE LATE THIS WEEKEND WOULD TAKE THE EDGE OFF THE HIGHS IN NORTHWEST FLOW...BUT STILL LOOKS LIKE MOSTLY MID 90S SUNDAY AND MONDAY. LOSS OF THE CAP WOULD ALSO PERMIT WIDELY SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION. WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FORCING MECHANISMS DETECTABLE AT THIS POINT...WILL KEEP POPS IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE RANGE. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 830 PM MONDAY... 24-HR TAF PERIOD: A FRONT DROPPING SOUTH FROM THE VIRGINIA BORDER WITH WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND TO ITS SOUTH. THE RISK FOR CONVECTION WILL BE SLOWEST TO CLEAR THE SOUTHEAST... WHERE ISOLATED STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE UNTIL ABOUT 4 AM. WINDS BRIEFLY GUSTY TO 20 MPH NEAR AND BEHIND THE WIND SHIFT. VFR TUESDAY UNDER A NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND LESS THAN 10 MPH. VFR CONDITIONS WITH CLEAR SKIES AND VERY LITTLE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION THROUGH SATURDAY AS A STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST. && .CLIMATE... UPCOMING HIGH TEMPERATURES RECORDS AND YEAR THE RECORD WAS LAST SET: JUNE 29 (FRIDAY)-- RDU: 101 (1945) GSO: 99 (1959) FAY: 105 (1931) JUNE 30 (SATURDAY)-- RDU: 102 (1959) GSO: 101 (1959) FAY: 101 (1959) JULY 1 (SUNDAY)-- RDU: 99 (2005) GSO: 98 (1954) FAY: 104 (1959) && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
