130 PM EDT SUN APR 28 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT WILL MOVE SLOWLY OFF OF THE
COAST SUNDAY WHILE CONTINUING TO INFLUENCE THE WEATHER ACROSS
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. A SOUTHEAST FLOW OF MOIST AIR WILL DEVELOP
OVER EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SUNDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY
AS A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH WEDNESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THIS AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 1 PM SUN...HIGH AND MID CLOUDS CONTINUE TO FILTER INTO E NC
AND THICKEN THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPS TOPPING OUT IN THE LOW 70S
UNDER FILTERED SUNSHINE...WITH SOME 60S AT THE BEACHES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE WELL OUT AHEAD
OF MIDWEST UPPER TROF CONTINUES TO STREAM INTO THE AREA TODAY. THE
UPPER RIDGE AXIS MOVES OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD TODAY AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE ALONG THE MID ATLC COAST SHIFTS OFFSHORE. IT WILL TAKE A
WHILE TO MOISTEN UP THE LOWER LEVELS SUFFICIENTLY TO PRODUCE
MEASURABLE RAIN...BUT MAY SEE A FEW SPRINKLES OR LIGHT SHOWERS BY
LATE AFTN ESP OVER INLAND AND SOUTHERN FORECAST AREAS. CLOUDS WILL
TEND TO HOLD DOWN MAX TEMPS TODAY BUT SHUD SEE HIGHS MAINLY IN THE
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S AGAIN TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE DOWNSTREAM UPPER TROF...PRECIP CHANCES
WILL BE INCREASING TONIGHT AS LOW LEVELS CONTINUE TO MOISTEN ON
STRENGTHENING S/SE FLOW. EXPECTED WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF SHOWERS
BY SUNRISE MONDAY. INSTABILITY IS LACKING SO NO MENTION OF THUNDER
ATTM. CLOUDS AND MILD BNDRY LAYER FLOW WILL HOLD MIN TEMPS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 50S WITH TEMPS LEVELING OFF OR RISING AFTER MIDNIGHT
IN THE INCREASING SSE FLOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM SUN...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL PLAGUE MUCH OF EARLY NEXT
WEEK AS A MOIST EAST/SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW PRODUCED BY HIGH PRESSURE
TO THE NORTH AND WEAK LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH INTERACTS WITH A
DAMPENING SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. CONSIDERABLE
CLOUDINESS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS FLOW WILL HELP TO KEEP TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY...GENERALLY MID 60S TO L/M
70S. MON THROUGH MON NIGHT STILL LOOKS TO BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR
PRECIP DURING THE PERIOD WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUING INTO
TUE AS TROUGHING CONTINUES OVER THE AREA. INCREASED POPS TO
CATEGORICAL FOR MON ACROSS EASTERN NC. WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF
SCT CHC OF TSTMS...MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN WITH MODERATE
INSTABILITY ALBEIT WEAK SHEAR PRESENT.

WEEKEND...CONTINUING TO RESULT IN COOL NE FLOW. THOUGH SOME
UNCERTAINTY REMAINS MID TO LATE WEEK AS MODELS HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING WITH THE PROGRESSION OF A LONG WAVE UPPER TROUGH
DIGGING INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...MODELS SEEM TO BE SLOWLY COMING
INTO BETTER AGREEMENT AND MORE IN LINE WITH THE ECMWF. THE ECMWF
KEEPS A DEEP UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND BUILDS AN UPPER
RIDGE ACROSS THE EAST COAST RESULTING IN AN OMEGA BLOCKING
PATTERN. MAIN CHANGE TO THE LONG TERM WAS TO LOWER POPS SLIGHTLY
BUT DIDN'T ELIMINATE COMPLETELY WITH LACK OF CONFIDENCE AT THIS
TIME. THE ECMWF VERIFYING WOULD RESULT IN A WARMER AND DRIER
PATTERN FOR THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

OVER SPREADS THE AREA. UPSTREAM OBS IN SC/CENTRAL NC IN THE IFR
RANGE... AND THESE CIGS COULD ADVECT INTO E NC MON MORNING...
THOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THESE IFR CIGS NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS TIME
TO INCLUDE IN THE FCST DUE TO SNDGS/COND PRES DEFICIT SFCS NOT
INDICATING THESE CONDITIONS IMPACTING THE EASTERN PART OF THE
STATE UNTIL MON AFTERNOON.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM SUN...SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS WILL OVERSPREAD
