AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
245 PM EDT SUN JUN 30 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
THE COMBINATION OF A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS OVER THE REGION... AND
A DEEP LOW PRESSURE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE NATION...
WILL BRING CONTINUED UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH MID WEEK... WITH
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM SUNDAY...

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NC FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

OVERALL: OUR PRIMARY CONCERN REMAINS THE RISK OF FLASH FLOODING WITH
ANY DISCRETE CELLS OR STORM CLUSTERS OR BANDS THROUGH THE NEXT 48-60
HOURS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NC
STARTING LATE THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL RAIN TOTALS ARE EXPECTED TO
AVERAGE 1 TO 2 INCHES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT... HOWEVER WE ARE CERTAIN
TO SEE POCKETS OF HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER 4 INCHES LOCALLY IN AREAS THAT
SEE SLOW-MOVING AND/OR REPEATED STORMS.

RAIN CHANCES AND HEAVY RAIN THREAT: WHILE WE DON'T EXPECT IT TO RAIN
CONSTANTLY THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME... THE ENTIRE AREA SHOULD SEE AT
LEAST A COUPLE OF HOURS (AND LIKELY LONGER) OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN. LARGE SCALE KINEMATICS AND FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL CONTINUE TO
IMPROVE... INCLUDING INCREASING UPPER DIVERGENCE DUE TO THE
SHARPENING UPPER JET FROM ERN TN/KY THROUGH THE ST LAWRENCE
VALLEY... STRENGTHENING DEEP LAYER SHEAR TO 30-40 KTS... AND
REPEATED SHOTS OF DPVA AS PERTURBATIONS RIDE FROM THE NE GULF UP THE
EAST SIDE OF THE DIGGING TROUGH TO OUR WEST. IN PARTICULAR... BOTH
CONVECTION-ALLOWING AND PARAMETERIZED-CONVECTION MODELS LATCH ONTO
THE MID LEVEL MCV OVER THE FL PANHANDLE AND BRING IT NORTHWARD WHILE
DRAWING DEEP MOISTURE AND WIDESPREAD RAIN WITHIN THE STRENGTHENING
SSW STEERING FLOW NORTHWARD TOWARD NC TONIGHT. THIS IS THEN FOLLOWED
CLOSELY BY AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE (NOTED ON MODEL DYNAMIC TROPOPAUSE
PLOTS) NOW OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF. IN ADDITION TO THE
STRENGTHENING DYNAMICS... MARGINAL TO MODERATE INSTABILITY HOLDS
OVER CENTRAL NC WITH MLCAPE STAYING IN THE 400-800 J/KG RANGE BOTH
TONIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT... AND RISING TO 800-1600 ON MONDAY. (IN
THE NEAR TERM... MESOANALYSES SHOWING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND
7-7.5 C/KM... MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES NEAR 6 C/KM... AND MLCAPE AROUND
1500 J/KG SUPPORT CONTINUED SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS.) DEEP
MOISTURE WILL BE PLENTIFUL THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH VERY HIGH PW
AND STRONG LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT FEEDING IN DIRECTLY FROM THE
GULF AND ATLANTIC. THESE SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BE HIGHLY EFFICIENT
RAIN PRODUCERS... AS THE DEEP WARM LAYER (LCL TO FREEZING LEVEL
DEPTH OVER 4 KM) WILL ENCOURAGE WARM RAIN PROCESSES... AND THE
ANTICIPATED ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PW VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES ARE AROUND 2
STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL. THUS... EVEN IF IT ONLY RAINS
HEAVILY FOR 15-30 MINUTES IN ANY GIVEN SPOT... RAPID RAIN RATES ARE
LIKELY AND A QUICK INCH OF RAIN COULD EASILY FALL... LEADING TO
RAPID RUNOFF AND A SIGNIFICANT FLOODING THREAT ON ANY STREETS AND
ESPECIALLY NEAR CREEKS AND LOW LYING AREAS. IN ADDITION... STORMS
MAY HOLD IN THE SAME AREA FOR AN EXTENDED TIME AS CELLS MAY TEND TO
PROPAGATE BACK TO THE SW... AND THIS IS SUPPORTED BY RECENT RAP RUNS
SHOWING LOWERING MBE VELOCITIES THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT.
TRAINING CELLS ARE LIKELY AS WELL AS CONVECTIVE BANDS BECOME
ORIENTED PARALLEL TO THE MEAN STEERING FLOW. HAVE RAISED POPS TO
70-90% CHANCE EVERYWHERE TONIGHT AS BOTH STORM-SCALE AND LARGE SCALE
ASCENT WITHIN A VOLATILE AND VERY WET COLUMN APPEAR INEVITABLE...
AND WILL CONTINUE AT LEAST LIKELY POPS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. WHILE
WE ARE LIKELY TO SEE A COUPLE OF RELATIVE LULLS WITH ONLY SCATTERED
COVERAGE AT TIMES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT... IT IS DIFFICULT TO
IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCERN WHEN SUCH A LULL MIGHT OCCUR. AND EVEN DURING
TIMES OF LOWER STORM COVERAGE... INDIVIDUAL CELLS COULD STILL DROP
BRIEF HEAVY RAIN.

CLOUDS/TEMPS: EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH
PLENTY OF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS MID AND HIGH CLOUDS AROUND... AND ANY
SIGNIFICANT HOLES IN THE CLOUDS THAT DEVELOP SHOULD QUICKLY FILL IN
WITH EITHER STRATUS AT NIGHT OR CUMULUS DURING THE DAY. THIS... IN
CONJUCTION WITH THE STEADY BREEZE FROM THE SSE OR SOUTH... SHOULD
LIMIT THE DIURNAL TEMP RANGE WITH WARM NIGHTS (LOWS IN THE LOW-MID
70S) AND WARM HUMID DAYS (HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE MID 80S). -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 320 AM SUNDAY...

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A STRONG UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL IMPEDE THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF ANY STORM
SYSTEMS FROM THE CENTRAL U.S. THIS PERIOD. THUS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
OVER THE OH VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT WILL SLOWLY RETROGRADE TO A POSITION
OVER THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY BY EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE CIRCULATION
AROUND THIS LOW AND THE ATLANTIC HIGH WILL RESULT IN A DEEP SLY FLOW
OVER THE CAROLINAS. THIS FLOW WILL ORIGINATE OVER THE MOISTURE-RICH
SOUTHERN GULF WHERE PRECIP WATER VALUES ARE IN THE 2.25-2.4 INCH
RANGE THIS MORNING.  THIS MOISTURE LADEN AIR MASS WILL SERVE AS A
LAUNCHING PAD FOR SHOWERS AND T-STORMS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY OR WITH THE PASSAGE OF ANY UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES. THUS...EXPECT ABNORMALLY HIGH POPS FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING AS DEEP SLY FLOW WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN CONVECTION TRAINING REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME
LOCATION. WHILE THE NEED FOR A FLOOD OR FLASH FLOOD WATCH NEEDS TO
BE CONSIDERED...DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT TIME AND LOCATION DUE TO THE
LACK OF A LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY TO FOCUS CONVECTION. NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION THAT 1-3 INCHES OF RAIN WILL FALL ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH
WEDNESDAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS PROBABLE. BEST ROUTE AT THIS
TIME IS TO HIGHLIGHT FLOODING THREAT IN HWO.

EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS AND SCATTERED-NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS WILL
LIMIT NORMAL DIURNAL TEMP TREND. WHILE OVERNIGHT MIN TEMPS WILL BE
IN THE MUGGY UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...AFTERNOON TEMPS IN THE LOW-MID
80S WILL BE COMMON (VERSUS NORMAL UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90).

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 320 AM SUNDAY...

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY SHOULD SEE A GRADUAL DIMINISHING IN THE
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AS MAIN MOISTURE PLUME SHIFTS WESTWARD IN
RESPONSE TO ATLANTIC HIGH BUILDING WESTWARD. RESIDUAL MOISTURE
COUPLED WITH HEATING WILL CAUSE ISOLATED-SCATTERED AFTERNOON
CONVECTION. AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS AS
BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL LEAD TO DRIER AIR AND BETTER POTENTIAL
FOR PARTLY SUNNY SKIES. AFTERNOON TEMPS THURSDAY IN THE MID-UPPER
80S....RISING INTO THE THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 FRIDAY-SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM SUNDAY...

PERIODIC ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL
NC... WITH AREAS OF RAIN AND STORMS TODAY THROUGH MONDAY... AND
LOWERING CIGS TONIGHT. EARLIER SUB-VFR CIGS HAVE LARGELY LIFTED BUT
AREAS OF MVFR CIGS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH 20Z AT ALL CENTRAL NC
TAF SITES. OTHERWISE... SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN ARE ALREADY INCREASING IN NUMBER OVER CENTRAL NC... AND IF
THESE PASS NEAR ANY TAF SITE THEY WILL PRODUCE A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR
CONDITIONS. GSO AND FAY HAVE THE MOST IMMEDIATE THREAT OF SEEING A
STORM IN THEIR AREAS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BUT THERE IS A
CHANCE OF STORMS ANYWHERE THROUGH TONIGHT... ALTHOUGH THE DETAILS OF
EXACTLY WHEN AND WHERE THEY WILL TRACK NEAR TAF SITES IS TOUGH TO
RESOLVE AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE... CIGS AFTER 20Z WILL BE MOSTLY
VFR... BUT MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN AFTER MIDNIGHT... MUCH
LIKE THE PAST FEW NIGHTS... AT ALL LOCATIONS. THE BEST CHANCE OF
SEEING IFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT WILL BE AT RDU/GSO/INT. THESE SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO LIFT AFTER 14Z MONDAY... HOWEVER THE RISK
OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST
VALID PERIOD.

LOOKING BEYOND 18Z MONDAY... SHOULD SEE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS FROM
LATE MORNING THROUGH MID EVENING EACH DAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... WITH
SUB-VFR CONDITIONS RETURNING FROM LATE EVENING THROUGH MID MORNING.
BUT PERIODS OF SUB-VFR SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ALL
CENTRAL NC TAF SITES THROUGH WEDNESDAY... AND WILL NOT NECESSARILY
BE RESTRICTED TO THE TYPICAL AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS... WITH HEAVY
DOWNPOURS AND LOW CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE AT NIGHT AS WELL. WE SHOULD
SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT IN AVIATION CONDITIONS BY THURSDAY/FRIDAY AS
DRIER AIR AND A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OUT OVER THE ATLANTIC
STARTS TO BUILD WESTWARD INTO THE CAROLINAS. -GIH

402 AM EDT SUN JUN 30 2013

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT
WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. SINCE THE GROUND IS NEARLY
SATURATED FROM RECENT RAINFALL...THIS ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL RUN-
OFF...CAUSING WATER LEVELS ON AREA CREEKS AND STREAMS TO RISE
QUICKLY...POSSIBLY LEADING TO FLASH FLOODING. IN ADDITION...AN
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT DAMAGING WINDS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN CAN BE
EXPECTED MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. DUE TO RECENT RAINFALL...THIS
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ALONG
CREEKS AND STREAMS IN URBANIZED LOCATIONS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY
BE NEEDED ONCE IT BECOMES MORE CERTAIN WHEN AND WHERE THE
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY SEVERE OR
SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IMMEDIATELY TO THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE.
