AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1140 AM EDT SAT JUL 27 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE CAROLINAS FROM THE WEST
TONIGHT...THEN STALL OUT OVER THE REGION SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1130 AM SATURDAY...

UPDATE:
WIDESPREAD HEAVY SHOWER ACTIVITY DUE TO DEEP MOISTURE ADVECTION WITH
UPSLOPE COMPONENT AND UPPER SUPPORT REMAINS JUST WEST OF THE
AREA...CONTINUING TO GRAZE WESTERN FORSYTH COUNTY. SEEING A SLOW
EASTWARD TRANSLATION OF THE LARGER SCALE SYSTEM WHILE CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS TRAIN NORTH NORTHEAST. WILL INCREASE POPS FOR THE
AFTERNOON... MAINLY IN THE WEST. EASTWARD TRANSLATION OF THE SYSTEM
REDUCES THE CHANCE OF FLASH FLOODING DUE TO TRAINING...BUT URBAN
FLOODING IN THE TRIAD IS A POSSIBILITY GIVEN THE VERY HEAVY RAIN
RATES DESPITE SHORTER DURATION OF THE STORMS. HIGH TEMPERATURE
FORECAST LOOKS GOOD WITH CURRENT READINGS IN THE MID 70S WEST TO
LOWER 80S EAST.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION:

OVERVIEW:
CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE CONUS
THROUGH TONIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER LAKE SUPERIOR
THIS MORNING TRACKS SLOWLY S/SE ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN TONIGHT. SMALL
AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE ENERGY OVER UPSTATE SC AND WESTERN NC AT 06Z
WILL TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL NC BY 15-18Z. MORE POTENT
SHORTWAVE ENERGY CENTERED OVER WESTERN TN/KY AND NORTHERN MS/AL AT
06Z WILL TRACK NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS (WV/VA/PA)
THIS AFT/EVE...WITH SMALLER AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCES LIKELY TO PERSIST
OVERNIGHT IN CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT. A WEAK COLD FRONT EXTENDING
SOUTHWEST FROM THE UPPER GREAT LAKES INTO THE CENTRAL MS RIVER
VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL TRACK EAST THROUGH THE OH/TN VALLEY TONIGHT.

PRECIP CHANCES:
SEASONABLE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IS ALREADY RETURNING ACROSS THE
SANDHILLS AND SW PIEDMONT NEAR THE SC BORDER THIS MORNING AS
SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW STRENGTHENS BETWEEN OFFSHORE HIGH PRESSURE AND
THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT PROGRESSING INTO THE OH VALLEY. GIVEN
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ON THE ORDER OF 5.5-6.0 C/KM...EXPECT MODEST
DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION TODAY...WITH MLCAPE RANGING FROM 500-1500
J/KG...MOST UNSTABLE ALONG OR JUST WEST OF THE HWY 1 CORRIDOR WHERE
THE MORE FAVORABLE COMBINATION OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSOLATION
SHOULD BE PRESENT. DESPITE RELATIVELY WEAKER INSTABILITY IN THE
NORTHWEST PIEDMONT DUE TO MORE PERVASIVE CLOUD COVER...THIS AREA
WILL BE CLOSER TO BETTER DPVA ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY
TRACKING NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS LATER THIS AFT/EVE.
AS A RESULT...EXPECT THE BEST CHANCE (50-60%) FOR CONVECTION IN THE
FAR W/NW PIEDMONT BETWEEN 18-03Z...AND THE LOWEST (10-20%) ALONG AND
EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR. GIVEN INCREASING MOISTURE
THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN...LINGERING (ALBEIT MARGINAL) NOCTURNAL
INSTABILITY AND CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT...ANTICIPATE SOME CHANCE FOR
ISOLD SHOWERS TO PERSIST TONIGHT.

TEMPERATURES:
A SEASONABLY ATYPICAL GRADIENT IN HIGHS (AS MUCH AS 10F) IS EXPECTED
FROM WEST-EAST TODAY GIVEN THE AFOREMENTIONED CLOUD COVER AND HIGHER
PRECIP CHANCES OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. WITH THIS IN MIND...EXPECT
HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 70S TRIAD TO MID/UPPER 80S ELSEWHERE...
DEPENDING PRIMARILY ON CLOUD COVER AND CONVECTION. LOWS TONIGHT A
FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN PREVIOUS NIGHTS DUE TO CLOUD COVER...IN THE
69-72F RANGE.

SEVERE THREAT:
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR MULTICELL ORGANIZATION THIS
AFT/EVE AT ~25 KT. MLCAPE VALUES UP TO ~1500 J/KG AND DCAPE VALUES
OF 500-1000 J/KG SHOULD BE PRESENT IN VICINITY OF HWY 1 WHERE
STRONGER INSOLATION AND RELATIVELY DRIER AIR ALOFT WILL BE PRESENT
NEAR PEAK HEATING...AND A CONDITIONAL THREAT FOR AN ISOLD SEVERE
STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN VICINITY OF THE HWY 1 CORRIDOR.
ALTHOUGH MLCAPE/DCAPE WILL LIKELY SUFFER DUE TO MORE PERVASIVE CLOUD
COVER AND INCREASED MID-LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN
PIEDMONT...IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT BETTER DPVA AND SLIGHTLY
STRONGER DEEP LAYER SHEAR COULD COMPENSATE AND ALLOW FOR A SIMILAR
ISOLD SVR THREAT IN THE TRIAD. GIVEN WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
INSUFFICIENT DEEP-LAYER SHEAR FOR ROTATING UPDRAFTS...ISOLD
DOWNBURSTS (WIND) WILL LIKELY BE THE SOLE SEVERE THREAT. IF A
REASONABLY STRONG DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY DEVELOPS IN THE
WESTERN PIEDMONT AS EXPECTED...LOCALLY ENHANCED (ALBEIT LOW-END)
0-1 KM SRH WOULD BE PRESENT AND COULD ALLOW FOR TRANSIENT
SUPERCELLULAR CHARACTERISTICS /DEVIANT MOTION/ WHERE DEEP CONVECTION
IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 AM SATURDAY...

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED IN IN VICINITY OF LAKE MICHIGAN TONIGHT
WILL MEANDER SLOWLY NORTHEAST TO THE LAKE HURON AREA SUN/SUN
NIGHT...WITH CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT PERSISTING DOWNSTREAM OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC AND CAROLINAS. THE BEST SHORTWAVE ENERGY /DPVA/ SHOULD
REMAIN JUST N/NW OF CENTRAL NC...TRACKING ACROSS THE OH VALLEY...
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC. WIDESPREAD CLOUD
COVER EARLY IN THE DAY SHOULD RESULT IN ONLY MARGINAL DIURNAL
DESTABILIZATION THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON WITH DEEP MOISTURE (PWAT
~1.75") AND WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. A DRIER MID-LEVEL AIRMASS
AND SLIGHTLY COOLER 800-850 MB TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO ADVECT INTO
CENTRAL NC FROM WEST-EAST DURING THE MID/LATE AFTERNOON AND IT IS
LIKELY THAT SOME LOCATIONS (ESP. WEST OF HWY 1) ACHIEVE MODERATE
DESTABILIZATION BY PEAK HEATING DESPITE RELATIVELY COOL SURFACE
TEMPS. REGARDLESS...GIVEN UPPER LEVEL FORCING ASSOC/W SHORTWAVE
ENERGY IN CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT (BEST IN THE N/NW PIEDMONT) AND A
FOCUS IN THE FORM OF LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ASSOC/W A PRE-FRONTAL
TROUGH OVER THE PIEDMONT...EXPECT PRECIP CHANCES ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY
IN THE LIKELY RANGE (60%) ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...PRIMARILY DURING
THE AFT/EVE HOURS...WITH COVERAGE PERHAPS ULTIMATELY DEPENDENT ON
THE EXACT TIMING/EVOLUTION OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY. A CHANCE OF
CONVECTION MAY PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT AS THE WEAK FRONT
PROGRESSES INTO THE FOOTHILLS/NW PIEDMONT...PERHAPS LONGER SOUTH/SE
OF HWY 1 WHERE A SEASONABLY MOIST AIRMASS MAY REMAIN IN PLACE THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. EXPECT HIGHS SIMILAR TO TODAY EXCEPT
SLIGHTLY COOLER DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP CHANCES...
RANGING FROM 80-87F...WARMEST IN THE SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN.
LOWS SUN NIGHT WILL DEPEND ON THE EXACT TIMING OF THE DRIER
LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS ADVECTING INTO CENTRAL NC AND CLOUD COVER. EXPECT
LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID 60S NW TO LOWER 70S SE.

SEVERE THREAT:
A FAVORABLE COMBINATION OF MODERATE INSTABILITY...25-35 KT
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AND FORCING MAY BE PRESENT WEST OF THE HWY 1
CORRIDOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHERE DCAPE VALUES ARE PROGGED
TO INCREASE TO 1000-1250 J/KG BY 21-00Z. THIS WOULD SUGGEST A
RELATIVELY BETTER THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS LOW-END SEVERE HAIL (QUARTER SIZE).
HOWEVER...UNCERTAINTY PERSISTS W/REGARD TO WHETHER OR NOT THE
AFOREMENTIONED FACTORS WILL BE FAVORABLY JUXTAPOSED AND WHETHER OR
NOT MID-LEVEL DRYING WILL BE TOO PRONOUNCED /DETRIMENTAL TO
UPDRAFTS/ BY LATE AFTERNOON. ANTICIPATE SOME MENTION OF SEVERE STORM
POTENTIAL BY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN LATER OUTLOOKS FOR
SUNDAY AFT/EVE...THOUGH PERHAPS LIMITED TO A 'SEE TEXT' OR 5%
PROBABILITY OF WIND OR HAIL/WIND. -VINCENT

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 303 AM SATURDAY...

...NEAR NORMAL LATE JULY TEMPERATURES WITH CONTINUED PERIODIC
CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS WEEK...

WE BEGIN MONDAY WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT FORECAST TO SLOWLY MOVE INTO
OUR REGION FROM THE NORTH. MODELS DIFFER IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE
FRONT BUT NOT BY MORE THAN AROUND 50 MILES. IT APPEARS THAT THIS
FRONT MAY END UP BEING MUCH LIKE THE LAST ONE IN THAT IT WILL STALL
AND WASH OUT OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA MONDAY THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT. KEEPING ON THE THEME OF REPEATING PATTERNS... IT ALSO
APPEARS THAT LOW LEVEL DRYING ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK SURFACE HIGH
LATE MONDAY SHOULD MAKE IT INTO A PORTION OF THE PIEDMONT AND
COASTAL PLAIN... YET THE DEEP MOISTURE WILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED VERY
FAR TO OUR SOUTH. THIS WILL ALLOW MOISTURE TO RETURN QUICKLY LATE
TUESDAY. IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A COMPLETELY DRY DAY... IT WOULD
MOST LIKELY BE TUESDAY... AND IN THE NE ZONES. BOTTOM LINE... THE
LINGERING AND NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY SHOULD CONTINUE TO BRING A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS... MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST ON
MONDAY INTO MONDAY EVENING. THEN... THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TAKE A QUICK BREAK FROM THE FORECAST... BEFORE
RETURNING LATE TUESDAY.

THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE OUT AHEAD OF
THE NEXT COLD FRONT THAT IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE REGION BY MID
WEEK. SOME WAVINESS ON THIS FRONT MAY MAKE FOR A MORE WIDESPREAD
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS... ESPECIALLY EITHER LATE WEDNESDAY AND/OR
THURSDAY. THIS FRONT SHOULD ALSO BE SLOW MOVING AND WEAKEN OVER THE
REGION LATE WEEK. WE WILL KEEP AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS GOING FRIDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.

LOWS MOST OF THE WEEK SHOULD BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. HIGHS
MOSTLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S EXCEPT SOME MID 70S TO LOWER 80S
WED-THU WITH THE HIGHER POP THEN.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 645 AM SATURDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD:
ISOLATED AREAS OF SUB-VFR CEILINGS AND/OR FOG WILL LIFT AND SCATTER
OUT TO VFR AT OR IN VICINITY OF THE EASTERN TERMINALS BY 12-14Z. AT
THE INT/GSO TERMINALS (ESPECIALLY THE INT TERMINAL) A PROLONGED
PERIOD OF IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED THIS MORNING...PERHAPS
LASTING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUALLY REDEVELOP OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND FAR NW PIEDMONT.
CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE IN COVERAGE BY TONIGHT AT THE INT/GSO
TERMINALS...THOUGH ISOLD/SCT CONVECTION COULD PERSIST THROUGH 06-12Z
SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH ISOLD CONVECTION CANNOT BE RULED OUT FURTHER EAST
AT RDU/RWI/FAY LATER THIS AFT/EVE INTO TONIGHT...PROBABILITIES ARE
LOWER THAN FURTHER WEST AND CONFIDENCE IS LOW ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE ANY
MENTION THEREOF WITH THE 12Z TAF ISSUANCE.

LOOKING AHEAD:
EXPECT MORNING STRATUS/FOG AND AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
AGAIN SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...IN ADVANCE OF A WEAK FRONT
APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE W/NW. DRIER CONDITIONS SHOULD
PREVAIL EARLY NEXT WEEK...THOUGH THE FRONT MAY STILL OVER OR JUST
SOUTH OF CENTRAL NC AND A POTENTIAL FOR MORNING FOG/STRATUS AND
AFTERNOON CONVECTION MAY PERSIST...ESPECIALLY AT KFAY. -VINCENT
