AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
250 PM EDT SAT JUL 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER THROUGH
EARLY MONDAY. THE FRONT THEN DISSIPATES...AS UPPER LEVEL HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS SLIGHTLY EAST FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE MID
MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS. TEMPERATURES WILL BECOME VERY
WARM ONCE AGAIN EARLY IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY...

THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED THE SURFACE FRONT VERY NEAR THE
VIRGINIA BORDER...LIKELY JUST NORTH OF THE BORDER WITH KTDF STILL
SHOWING A SOUTHWEST WIND. OUTFLOW FROM ONGOING AND DEVELOPING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY RESULT IN THE FRONT SHIFTING SLIGHTLY
SOUTH ACROSS THE BORDER DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT
ITS OVERALL LOCATION SHOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO ITS CURRENT ONE
THROUGH THE NEAR- AND SHORT-TERM PERIODS. THE SPC MESOANALYSIS
SHOWED MLCAPE FROM 1000 TO 2000J/KG...THOUGH SHEAR IS VERY WEAK AS
ANTICIPATED AND DOWNDRAFT CAPE IS FAIRLY LOW AS WELL...MOSTLY LESS
THAN 500J/KG EXCEPT IN THE FAR SOUTH TOWARD THE SOUTH CAROLINA
BORDER. 850MB LIFT ON THE SHORT-TERM GUIDANCE IS BEST THIS EVENING...
AND WHILE AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE DUE TO
DAMAGING WIND...MOST STORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOULD
END UP ON THE STRONG SIDE WITH MOST OF THE GUST POTENTIAL OF 40 TO
50 MPH. AS AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NEAR THE
FRONT AND ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AND THE MID-LEVEL
SHEAR AXIS TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST...GENERAL MOVEMENT EAST AND
NORTHEAST SHOULD RESULT IN LIKELY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH AT LEAST THE EARLY
EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. DEVELOPMENT OVER THE
NORTHWEST FOOTHILLS...AGAIN NEAR THE FRONT...SHOULD EVENTUALLY
AFFECT THE TRIAD AS WELL. OVERNIGHT...BUFR SOUNDINGS BECOME MORE
STABLE ESPECIALLY ON THE GFS...ALTHOUGH WITH DECENT MOISTURE AND THE
PRESENCE OF THE SHEAR AXIS ALOFT ALONG WITH THE PROXIMITY OF THE
FRONT...WILL NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATE CHANCES FOR A SHOWER.
OVERNIGHT LOWS...69 TO 74.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY...

WHILE MOISTURE REMAINS PLENTIFUL OVERALL...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES TO AROUND TWO INCHES PARTICULARLY ON THE NAM...THE GFS BUFR
SOUNDINGS ARE NOTICEABLY MORE STABLE PARTICULARLY WITH SLIGHT
WARMING IN THE LAYER AROUND 850MB. THE SHEAR AXIS WEAKENS AND SHOULD
PIVOT WEST AND WEAKEN IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING HEIGHTS ALOFT. WHILE
OVERALL INSTABILITY APPEARS BETTER SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS OPPOSED TO
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MLCAPE LIKELY REACHING OR JUST EXCEEDING
2000J/KG...OVERALL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA IS LIKELY TO BE LESS AS A RESULT OF WHAT SHOULD BE
DIMINISHING SYNOPTIC SUPPORT. THE FRONT SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
WEAKEN...AND WITH THE SHEAR AXIS WEAKENING AS WELL...WILL CONTINUE
THE FORECAST OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL
FOR AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND THREAT...AND AGREE WITH THE SPC DAY 2
ASSESSMENT OF THAT ISOLATED POTENTIAL. DOWNDRAFT CAPE IS 500-900J/KG
AS FORECAST BY THE MORE ROBUST NAM...UNDER A RELATIVE MAXIMUM OF
850MB THETA-E. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD MOSTLY BE IN THE LOWER 90S...
WITH A FEW HIGHS POSSIBLE AROUND 90 OR TOWARD 95 DEPENDING ON HOW
QUICKLY ANY MORNING LOW CLOUDS DIMINISH...AND THE ONSET OF ANY DEEP
CONVECTION.

SUNDAY NIGHT...BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS BECOME FAIRLY
STABLE TO DEEP CONVECTION. THE GFS DOES FORECAST SOME OVERNIGHT
QPF...BUT ITS MOS GUIDANCE CHANCES OF RAIN ARE LOW LATE AT NIGHT...
AND WITH CONVERGENCE ALOFT FORECAST OVERNIGHT SUNDAY...IT WOULD SEEM
CHANCES FOR ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD FALL BELOW SLIGHT
CHANCE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS ONCE AGAIN SHOULD BE
MOSTLY IN THE RANGE OF 70 TO 75.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY...

THE MAIN WEATHER FEATURE DURING MUCH OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE
BROAD MID LEVEL RIDGING THAT IS PROGGED TO EXTEND FROM THE CENTRAL
PLAINS INTO THE SOUTHEAST...WITH CENTRAL NC ON THE NORTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE. THEREFORE...WE WILL BE UNDER NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD AND HENCE THE POTENTIAL FOR WEAK
DISTURBANCES TO IMPACT THE AREA WILL LIKELY BE OUR MAIN CHANCES FOR
ANY PRECIP BEYOND TYPICAL SUMMERTIME CONVECTION. MODELS ALSO
INDICATE (TO VARYING DEGREES) A BACK DOOR FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA
MIDWEEK...BUT GIVEN THE TIME OF YEAR...WILL KEEP THE FRONT NORTH OF
REGION FOR NOW. AS A RESULT...SINCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TIME ANY
WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES THIS FAR OUT...AM EXPECTING MOSTLY
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DIURNAL TYPE PRECIP AS A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH
WILL BE IN PLACE OVER THE REGION. THEN...AT THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK...A SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS PROGGED TO AMPLIFY ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY SUPPRESS THE RIDGE. AS THIS SHORT WAVE
MOVES EAST AND AMPLIFIES EVEN MORE...IT SHOULD BEGIN TO CARVE AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE REGION BY THE WEEKEND...WITH AN
ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. WILL STILL
KEEP ONLY SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS TIME
FRAME...BUT WILL SHOW A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE POPS. THE HEAT WILL
ALSO RETURN TO THE REGION...WITH GENERALLY MID (AND SOME UPPER) 90S
EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY...

HIGH MVFR OR LOW VFR CEILINGS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND
THEIR ASSOCIATED ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. OVERNIGHT...THE ONSET
AND OCCURRENCE OF LOW CLOUDS IS STILL SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION...BUT
BASED ON PERSISTENCE OF THE AIR MASS...AND THE GFS AND LAMP GUIDANCE
MOSTLY SUGGESTIVE OF LOW CLOUDS...FORECAST THEIR OCCURRENCE AND IFR
CONDITIONS AT ALL TAF SITES BY 10Z. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE SREF
MODEL...WHICH DID FORECAST HIGHER PROBABILITIES OF LOW CLOUDS THIS
SATURDAY MORNING AND THEY OCCURRED...HAVE A LOWER PROBABILITY OF LOW
CLOUDS FOR SUNDAY MORNING. CONFIDENCE IS MODEST...BUT BASED ON THE
PERSISTENT AIR MASS AND PREPONDERANCE OF GUIDANCE...HAVE OPTED TO
INCLUDE THEM. CEILINGS SHOULD GRADUALLY LIFT TO VFR SUNDAY MORNING.

BEYOND THE 18Z VALID TAF PERIOD...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD OCCUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN
GENERAL...WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. LATE
NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE ALSO POSSIBLE...
THOUGH CURRENTLY THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR THESE WOULD SEEM TO BE IN
THE MID-TO-LATE WEEK PERIOD...LESSER EARLY MONDAY AND ESPECIALLY
EARLY TUESDAY.

&&

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