AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
155 PM EDT WED JUN 26 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS COMBINED WITH A PERSISTENT TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL RESULT IN A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1035 AM WEDNESDAY...

SEVERAL SIGNALS POINT TO ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS WITH
DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S PERSISTS... WHILE A DEARTH
OF CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING OVER MUCH OF CENTRAL NC HAS FACILITATED
GOOD HEATING AS TEMPS ARE ALREADY IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.
TOTAL COLUMN WATER REMAINS HIGH WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES OF 1.6-1.8
INCHES ACCORDING TO BLENDED TPW IMAGERY... WHICH IS 130-150 PERCENT
OF NORMAL AND VERY CLOSE TO YESTERDAY MORNING'S READINGS.
THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS ARE ALSO SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY... WITH A
MODIFIED SOUNDING SHOWING OVER 3300 J/KG OF MUCAPE... AND
MESOANALYSIS DATA SHOWS THAT WE'VE ALREADY LOST OUR CINH. WEAK
DYNAMIC CONTRIBUTION TO ASCENT IS ANTICIPATED AS WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS ONE WEAK SHORTWAVE OVER THE ERN CAROLINAS AND ANOTHER WEAK MCV
MOVING INTO THE SRN APPALACHIANS. THIS LATTER FEATURE SHOULD SLIP
OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING... ALTHOUGH IT IS LIKELY TO
DAMPEN FURTHER AS A STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGS OVER THE OH
VALLEY (AND THIS FEATURE SHOULD AFFECT US TOMORROW). EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR IS PROJECTED TO BE UNDER 20 KTS TODAY... WHICH DESPITE THE
INSTABILITY SHOULD LIMIT THE EXTENT OF STRONG OR BORDERLINE SEVERE
STORMS... BUT THE UNSTABLE COLUMN COULD STILL YIELD A RISK OF 1+
INCH HAIL AND STRNOG WINDS... AND HIGH PW AND SLOW MOVEMENT COULD
BRING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. BESIDES DELAYING THE ONSET BY A FEW
HOURS... HAVE MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO LIKELY POPS SPREADING IN
WEST TO EAST. TEMPS ARE ON TRACK TO TOP OUT AT 87-92 TODAY. -GIH

APPEARS THERE WILL BE LULL IN FORCING OVERNIGHT BEFORE THE APPROACH
OF THE AMPLIFYING SHORTWAVE TROUGH PROGRESSING EASTWARD INTO THE
OHIO/TN VALLEY EARLY THURSDAY. THUS WILL KEEP IT DRY AFTER MIDNIGHT
THROUGH DAYBREAK THURSDAY. WITH NO CHANGE IN AIRMASS...WILL USE A
PERSISTENT FORECAST AS A BASELINE FOR TEMPERATURES WITH DIFFERENCES
IN CONVECTIVE ONSET AND COVERAGE YIELDING A +/- 2 TO 3 DEGREE
DIFFERENCE. LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. -CBL

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 320 AM TUESDAY...

AS THE INTENSE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE WRN STATES AN
AMPLIFYING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC REGION EARLY IN THE DAY ON THURSDAY. PRE-FRONTAL
SURFACE TROUGH IN THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS SHARPENS IN RESPONSE TO
20 TO 30 METER HEIGHTS FALL SPREADING OVER THE REGION. THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH DYNAMICS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NEAR SFC CONVERGENCE ALONG
AN EASTWARD-MIGRATING LEE/PIEDMONT TROUGH...SHOULD SUPPORT AN EARLY
ONSET OF CONVECTION AS WELL AS LIKELY POPS.

THE EARLY ONSET OF SHOWERS AND STORMS AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER
COULD SIGNIFICANTLY TEMPER DAYTIME HEATING AND DAMPER STRONG
DESTABILIZATION...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AS MODELS
DEPICT A TIGHT INSTABILITY GRADIENT(DIFFERENTIAL HEATING)OVER
EASTERN/COASTAL NC. DEEP LAYER SHEAR INCREASES SLIGHTLY TO AROUND
20KTS AND WOULD SUPPORT ANOTHER MULTICELL SEVERE THURSDAY AFTERNOON
MAINLY FROM US 1 EAST. STORMS SHOULD WANE AFTER SUNSET...BUT THE
CONTINUED THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH THE TROUGH SETTLING OVER THE EASTERN US.

GIVEN EXPECTATIONS OF EARLIER ONSET OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...EXPECT
HIGHS A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY. HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER
80S. LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 AM WEDNESDAY...

A MORE AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL DEVELOP BY THE END OF THE
WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND AS A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE CONUS (EXTENDING UP INTO CANADA)...ALLOWING A TROUGH TO DEEPEN
OVER THE EASTERN HALF. THIS TROUGH WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY EARLY IN THE PERIOD...BEFORE RETROGRADING SLIGHTLY THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. REGARDLESS...THIS PATTERN WILL LEAVE CENTRAL NC
WITHIN A VERY MOIST AIR MASS AS DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PERSISTS. AS
A RESULT...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE ENTIRE LONG
TERM PERIOD (IF NOT LONGER) ACROSS CENTRAL NC...WITH ABOVE NORMAL
CHANCES OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
EACH DAY. IN ADDITION...WITH INCREASING FLOW ALOFT...THE SHEAR WILL
IMPROVE OVER THE AREA (ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST OVER THE
WEEKEND AS THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH IS CLOSEST TO THE REGION) AND
THEREFORE WE SHOULD SEE MORE IN THE WAY OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION AS
WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS MAY RESULT IN SOME ISOLATED STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS...WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT.
HOWEVER...THE MAIN WEATHER THREAT WILL LIKELY BE AN INCREASING
FLOODING RISK AS THE AREA REMAINS IN THIS EXTENDED WET PATTERN.
DAYTIME HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH MOSTLY MID 80S EXPECTED. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL MOSTLY BE
IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 155 PM WEDNESDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE AT CENTRAL NC TAF SITES THROUGH 18Z
THURSDAY... HOWEVER THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF A SHORT PERIOD (UNDER
2 HOURS) OF MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS IN AND NEAR CLUSTERS OF
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO VERY EARLY EVENING. STORMS ARE
MOST LIKELY TO AFFECT FAY 18Z-21Z... GSO/INT 19Z-22Z... AND RDU/RWI
20Z-00Z. STORMS MAY CONGEAL INTO LARGE CLUSTERS WHICH MAY BE
DIFFICULT TO CIRCUMNAVIGATE. STORMS SHOULD VERY SLOWLY WEAKEN AND
DISPERSE THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT. PATCHY SUB-VFR STRATUS IS POSSIBLE
LATE TONIGHT FROM 07Z-12Z BUT THE CHANCE THAT THESE SUB-VFR CLOUDS
WILL BECOME BROKEN ARE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE AS A PREDOMINANT
CONDITION. WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY... AND
THIS COMBINED WITH AN INCOMING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE FROM THE WEST
WILL INITIATE SCATTERED STORMS BEGINNING AROUND THE NOON HOUR IN THE
TRIAD BEFORE SPREADING WESTWARD. TIMING UNCERTAINTY PRECLUDES
MENTIONING THUNDER WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT LATE IN THE TAF VALID
PERIOD... BUT LATER TERMINAL FORECASTS WILL LIKELY INCLUDE A PERIOD
OF PREVAILING SUB-VFR THUNDERSTORMS.

LOOKING BEYOND 18Z THURSDAY: AN UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL PERSIST ALONG
THE U.S. EAST COAST. AS NOTED ABOVE... A BRIEF PERIOD OF SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS IN AND NEAR STORMS IS EXPECTED FROM VERY EARLY AFTERNOON
THROUGH VERY EARLY EVENING AS STORMS SPREAD EASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL
NC. IFR STRATUS IS POSSIBLE AT RDU/RWI/FAY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNRISE FRIDAY MORNING. GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS AND
SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY RDU/RWI/FAY LATE AFTERNOON FRIDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT... THEN SCATTERED LATE DAY STORMS MAY OCCUR
MAINLY AT RWI/FAY SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. -GIH

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
KRAX WSR-88D WILL BE DOWN FOR MUCH-NEEDED MAINTENANCE TODAY THROUGH
THURSDAY JUNE 27. KRAX HAS BEEN IN A SEVERELY DEGRADED MODE FOR
SEVERAL DAYS... AND THE NEEDED REPAIRS WERE DEEMED TO BE CRITICAL.
THE TEAM OF TECHNICIANS WILL MAKE THESE REPAIRS AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. -GIH

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
