AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
248 PM EDT MON JUL 8 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL HOLD OVER THE
REGION THROUGH MID WEEK. A STRONGER TROUGH AND COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST EARLY THURSDAY... THEN STALL OUT ALONG
THE APPALACHIANS THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 240 PM MONDAY...

THE UPPER LOW IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER CENTRAL PA AND WILL CONTINUE
TO SLOWLY TRACK EASTWARD AND WILL BE OFFSHORE BY TONIGHT. THE
ASSOCIATED TROUGH AXIS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO PROGRESS ACROSS OUR
REGION THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR CONTINUED
CONVECTION. HOWEVER...THE BEST HEIGHT FALLS/DPVA ARE LIKELY
BEGINNING TO SHIFT EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND MINIMAL HEIGHT
RISES/SUBSIDENCE ARE EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION BY LATER THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. NEVERTHELESS...GOOD HEATING HAS LEAD TO
SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION (LATEST SPC MESO ANALYSIS INDICATES
MLCAPE OF 2000-2500 J/KG) AND THIS HAS BEEN ENOUGH TO OVERCOME THE
DECREASING MID/UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. IN ADDITION...PER RADAR
IMAGERY...THERE WERE SEVERAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES DRAPED ACROSS THE
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA LEFT OVER FROM THE EARLY
MORNING CONVECTION AND THIS HAS LIKELY AIDED THE CONVECTION SO FAR.
THEREFORE...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MOSTLY FOCUSED
ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA (WHERE THE
BEST CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS ARE LOCATED) ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...BEFORE DIMINISHING LATER THIS EVENING AS
NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION COMMENCES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE SIMILAR TO
PREVIOUS DAYS...WITH TEMPS GENERALLY FALLING INTO THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 240 PM MONDAY...

BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW WILL BE LEFT IN PLACE OVER THE REGION ON TUESDAY
BEHIND THE DEPARTED RELATIVELY DEEPER TROUGH THAT IS MOVING THROUGH
TODAY. WITH EXPECTED WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING OVERHEAD IN THE FLOW
ALOFT...AND CONTINUED MOIST AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS OVER CENTRAL
NC...ANOTHER DAY OF SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED. EVEN AT THIS POINT...IT IS DIFFICULT TO
TIME/PINPOINT WHERE THE BEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL BE...AS IT
MOSTLY HINGES ON ANY PASSING WEAK DISTURBANCE...THEREFORE WILL JUST
SHOW CHANCE POPS AREAWIDE. ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES DEVELOP SHOULD
DIMINISH DURING THE EVENING HOURS WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
DUE TO THE PERSISTENT PATTERN...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN TEMPS IS EXPECTED
COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS...WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE UPPER 80S TO
NEAR 90 DEGREES AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM MONDAY...

FOR WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT: VERY WEAK MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS HOLDS
OVER THE EAST COAST WHILE A SUBTLE LEE SURFACE TROUGH HOLDS OVER THE
NC FOOTHILLS. ABOVE-NORMAL DEEP MOISTURE PERSISTS WITH PW UP TO 2.0
INCHES (AND AS HIGH AS 2.25 INCHES IF THE GFS IS TO BE BELIEVED).
850 MB SW WINDS INCREASE TO AROUND 20-25 KTS ON THE TAIL END OF A
BROAD JET OFF THE MIDATLANTIC/ NORTHEAST COAST BUT MID LEVEL WINDS
REMAIN QUITE WEAK (UNDER 10 KTS)... YIELDING LAYER BULK SHEAR OF 10
KTS OR LESS THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... WITH MLCAPE RATHER MODEST
PEAKING AT 1000-1500 J/KG. WILL HOLD ONTO NEAR-CLIMO SCATTERED
DIURNAL SHOWERS/STORMS MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON... HIGHER IN THE NW
AS THE GFS/ECMWF DEPICT GREATER COVERAGE... BUT WILL HOLD ONTO A
LOWER SECONDARY MAX IN COVERAGE IN THE FAR SE AS THE POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR AN INLAND-TRACKING SEA BREEZE. THEN THE WESTERLIES START
TO TAKE A DIP INTO THE GREAT LAKES AS THE TROUGH BEGINS TO DIG TO
OUR NORTHWEST... RESULTING IN AN UPTICK IN MID LEVEL WINDS OVER NW
NC WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BULK SHEAR RISING A TAD TO 15-20 KTS... WITH
MOISTURE REMAINING HIGH OR EVEN INCREASING OVERNIGHT PARTICULARLY
ALOFT... AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT STRENGTHENING. WITH THE
MID LEVEL TROUGH STARTING TO AMPLIFY DOWN INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL NC
LATE... THERE MAY BE ENOUGH KINEMATICS AND WEAK DYNAMIC SUPPORT WITH
LINGERING 500-800 J/KG OF MLCAPE FOR CHANCE POPS LATE AT NIGHT IN
THE NORTHWEST TAPERING TO POPS OF JUST 10-20% IN THE SOUTHEAST.
HIGHS 87-91 AS THICKNESSES STAY NEAR CLIMATOLOGY. LOWS 70-74.

FOR THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT: THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AMPLIFIES AS
IT SWINGS THROUGH THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE
APPALACHIANS... WHILE DPVA AND HEIGHT FALLS INCREASE OVER NC...
ALTHOUGH THE GENERAL WEAKENING OF THE TROUGH ITSELF WILL LIMIT THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE HEIGHT FALLS. THE SURFACE FRONT APPROACHES JUST
AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AXIS AND SHOULD SLOW DOWN AS IT MOVES INTO WRN
NC THURSDAY NIGHT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS STILL NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE AT
JUST 15-20 KTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA THURSDAY NIGHT. NAM MLCAPE
TOPS OUT AT 1000-1500 J/KG AND IS RATHER SKINNY AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT
WITH SUCH A WET PROFILE. BUT DESPITE THE WEAK THERMODYNAMICS... THE
IMPROVEMENT IN DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT INCLUDING RISING UPPER
DIVERGENCE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE JET ON THE TROUGH'S
EAST SIDE SHOULD SUPPORT AN UPWARD TREND IN RAIN CHANCES... TOWARD
LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL (60-80%) LATE THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.
HIGHS 84-89. LOWS 70-74 ONCE AGAIN... FOLLOWING PERSISTENCE.

FOR FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY: AS THE SURFACE FRONT STALLS OUT THROUGH
THE CENTRAL OR ERN CAROLINAS FRIDAY... THE GFS/ECMWF SHOW THE TROUGH
ELONGATING ALONG THE APPALACHIANS AND SPLITTING INTO TWO SEPARATE
LOW CENTERS... ONE OVER WRN NY/PA AND THE OTHER DROPPING SW ACROSS
GA AND SRN AL. PW VALUES REMAIN HIGH BUT PERHAPS A TAD LOWER THAN IN
PREVIOUS DAYS AT AROUND 1.8 INCHES ON THE GFS... AS OUR INFLOW
BECOMES MORE ATLANTIC-SOURCE RATHER THAN GULF-SOURCE. WILL LEAVE IN
LIKELY POPS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY... BUT THE
LACK OF DYNAMICS AND LIKELIHOOD THAT CLOUDINESS WILL LIMIT
INSTABILITY MAY CUT DOWN ON COVERAGE SLIGHTLY AS WE HEAD THROUGH
FRIDAY. THE SOUTHERN LOW TRACKS WESTWARD ALONG THE GULF COAST STATES
THROUGH TX SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY... WHILE THE NORTHERN LOW DRIFTS
SLOWLY WEST INTO THE WRN OH VALLEY WHILE WEAKENING... AND THE
ATLANTIC ANTICYCLONE BUILDS WESTWARD ACROSS NC. THIS RESULTS IN A
WEAKENING AND DISSIPATION OF THE SURFACE FRONT INTO AN INVERTED
TROUGH WHILE THE LOW LEVEL ATLANTIC INFLOW STRENGTHENS WITH AN
INCREASING FETCH. FORECAST DETAILS BECOME INCREASINGLY MURKY HEADING
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS WHAT IS NOW TS CHANTAL IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO THE CENTRAL/NRN BAHAMAS EARLY SATURDAY (SEE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER FORECASTS FOR THE SPECIFICS AND LATEST FORECASTS). THE GFS
HAS A MORE DISTINCT CIRCULATION THAN THE ECMWF... BUT BOTH DRAW
ENOUGH MOISTURE INTO NC FOR GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS ON SATURDAY.
THE GFS SHOWS DECREASING MOISTURE FROM EAST TO WEST SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY WITH PW DROPPING TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES (THIS APPEARS
TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH DRIER AIR ON CHANTAL'S NE SIDE)... AND AS A
RESULT GENERATES LOWER PRECIP AMOUNTS/COVERAGE THAN THE ECMWF. WITH
LITTLE COMMONALITY AMONG THE MODELS GIVEN THE WEAK HEIGHT FIELD AND
MEANDERING FEATURES ALOFT... AND WITH THE MODELS EVENTUALLY EVOLVING
TOWARD A SCENARIO FEATURING YET ANOTHER WEAK TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING
THROUGH THE STATE... WILL TAKE A LOW-CONFIDENCE MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD
APPROACH AND LEAVE IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS SATURDAY THROUGH
MONDAY. THICKNESSES FALL BACK A BIT BELOW NORMAL FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY... SUGGESTING HIGHS IN THE LOW-MID 80S... BEFORE REBOUNDING
TOWARD NORMAL SUNDAY AND MONDAY... SUPPORTING A TREND IN HIGHS BACK
UP TO THE MID-UPPER 80S. LOWS SHOULD STAY IN THE 70-75 RANGE. -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM MONDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...OUTSIDE OF
ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS. CURRENTLY...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE AFFECTING THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA (KRDU, KRWI, KFAY) AND THIS IS WHERE THE BEST COVERAGE OF
STORMS IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED
STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT FURTHER WEST. DUE TO A PERSISTENT
PATTERN...ANOTHER NIGHT/EARLY MORNING OF SUB VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED IN LOW STRATUS AND PATCHY FOG. ONCE THAT BURNS
OFFS/LIFTS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE TAF PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION LIKELY DURING
THE THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY TIME FRAME. IN ADDITION...MVFR/IFR
STRATUS AND/OR FOG WILL BE LIKELY EACH MORNING IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
PERSISTENT MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW.
