NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jan 30, 10:50 PM EST, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 30, 10:50 PM EST, 1 hour 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1050 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE STATE OVERNIGHT. COLDER AND DRIER
AIR WILL SURGE INTO THE AREA ON THURSDAY. A WEAK AND MOSTLY DRY
COLD FRONT SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE AREA EARLY FRIDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING BACK IN FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1050 PM WEDNESDAY...

...A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 2AM LST ...

...A WIND ADVISORY ALSO REMAINS IN EFFECT ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL NC
THROUGH 4 AM LST...

A STRONG COLD FRONT...AND ACCOMPANYING LINE OF LOW-TOPPED CONVECTION
HAS LARGELY BEHAVED AS EXPECTED...CURRENTLY APPROACHING TRIANGLE
WITH GENERAL WEAKENING AS IT PROGRESSES EASTWARD. ALTHOUGH WANING...
THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT WILL BE FROM STRAIGHT LINE WINDS OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...PARTICULARLY WITH ANY BOWING SEGMENT ALONG
THE LINE. THERE IS ALSO A SMALLER-MORE ISOLATED THREAT FOR A
WEAK/BRIEF TORNADO SPIN UP BASED ON CURRENT TIMING...NARROW
BAND OF STORMS SHOULD EXIT THE COASTAL PLAIN COUNTIES BETWEEN 2 TO 3
AM LST.

WILL DO A LITTLE HOUSE HOLD CLEANING WITH THIS
UPDATE...CLEARING/REMOVING THE 8 FAR WESTERN COUNTIES FROM TORNADO
WATCH#25. SUBSEQUENT UPDATES WILL FOLLOW CLEARING ADDITIONAL
COUNTIES ONCE THE LINE MOVES THROUGH.

FOR NOW WILL LEAVE WIND ADVISORY IN PLACE...BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT THERE ARE UPSTREAM POST-FRONTAL WIND GUSTS IN THE 35 KT
RANGES.

CAA WILL ARRIVE LATER TONIGHT... LOWS 40-50 NW TO SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 150 PM WEDNESDAY...

COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK WITH HIGH PRESSURE
INITIALLY BUILDING ACROSS THE GULF STATES AND INTO THE REGION BEHIND
THE FRONT. MILD ORIGIN OF THE HIGH AND ENSUING WESTERLY FLOW WILL
ALLOW HIGHS ON THURSDAY TO REACH NEAR NORMAL...IN THE UPPER 40S TO
LOWER 50S AND WINDS WILL BE DIMINISHING AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
LOOSENS...LOOKING AT UP TO 15 MPH SUSTAINED WESTERLY WINDS WITH
GUSTS TO PERHAPS 25 MPH. A REINFORCING SHORT WAVE WILL BE DIGGING
INTO THE DOMINANT EAST COAST TROF LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY
SQUEEZING OUT SOME ISOLATED FLURRIES ALONG THE NORTHWEST TIER AS IT
CROSSES THE MOUNTAINS. MINS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE AROUND 30...AND
THE MAIN SENSIBLE IMPACT FROM THIS SHORT WAVE WILL BE TO SHARPEN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW INTO THE TROF AND INITIATE STRONGER COLD AIR
ADVECTION ON FRIDAY...WHEN HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE
30S IN THE NORTHWEST...AND MAX OUT IN THE MID 40S IN THE
SOUTHEAST. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVERHEAD WILL LOCK THE COLD AIR IN
OVERNIGHT...AND UNDER CLEAR SKIES...MINS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BOTTOM
OUT IN THE LOWER 20S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 150 PM WEDNESDAY...

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD SATURDAY WILL ALLOW
HIGH TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB BACK TOWARDS SEASONABLE READINGS...IN THE
45 TO 50 DEGREE RANGE. THIS HIGH WILL SHIFT QUICKLY OFFSHORE AND A
FAST MOVING MID LEVEL CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL DIG INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY ON SATURDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY PRODUCING SOME LIGHT RAIN OR
SNOW SHOWERS AS IT TRAVERSES THE AREA...WITH LITTLE TO NO
ACCUMULATION. THE ASSOCIATED CLOUDINESS WILL PREVENT TEMPERATURES
FROM CRASHING HARD SATURDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER...WITH SUNDAY MORNING
LOWS AROUND 30. THE WARMER START AND INCREASING SUN EXPECTED ON
SUNDAY WILL ALLOW HIGHS TO REBOUND FURTHER...INTO THE SEASONABLE
LOWER 50S OVER MOST OF THE AREA.

THE EAST COAST TROF AXIS SHIFTS OFFSHORE AND UPPER FLOW WILL NOT BE
AS AMPLIFIED EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER REINFORCING BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT WILL BE SLOWLY EDGING SOUTH AND POTENTIALLY STALLING ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...BUT MOISTURE WILL BE
LACKING AND FORCING WILL BE UNFOCUSED IN THE WEAKER UPPER FLOW. AT
THIS POINT THE WEATHER MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY LOOKS DRY AND
SEASONABLY MILD WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE LOW TO MID 50S EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 645 PM WEDNESDAY...

OVERALL...CIGS HAVE LIFTED TO VFR EARLY THIS EVENING...BUT
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS
AS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG COLD
FRONT BEGIN TO IMPACT THE AREA. AS OF 00Z...THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
PRECIP IS JUST ENTERING THE TRIAD REGION. WITHIN THIS BROAD AREA OF
PRECIP...A THIN LINE OF STRONG STORMS WILL PRODUCE A BRIEF PERIOD OF
HEAVY RAIN AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS (50-60 MPH). THIS LINE
WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL NC FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH 06Z. AFTER THE
LINE OF STRONGER SHOWERS PASSES...LIGHTER RAIN IS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST FOR SEVERAL HOUR BEFORE CONDITIONS IMPROVE TO VFR. IN
ADDITION TO THE PRECIP...STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE
AREA. SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING UP 40 MPH THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING AND ONCE THE FRONT PASSES...GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS WILL
OVERSPREAD THE AREA. WINDS MAY DECREASE SOME TOWARDS DAYBREAK...BUT
SHOULD ONCE AGAIN BECOME GUSTY OUT OF THE WEST WHEN HEATING
COMMENCES ON THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK. ALTHOUGH...A COUPLE OF COLD FRONTS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA...ONE FRIDAY MORNING AND ONE SATURDAY NIGHT AND COULD PRODUCE A
PERIOD OF INCREASED CLOUDINESS...WITH EVEN A SMALL POSSIBILITY OF
SOME SPRINKLES OR FLURRIES.
