AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1050 PM EDT THU JUL 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...HURRICANE ARTHUR WILL TRACK NORTHEAST ALONG THE NORTH
CAROLINA COAST OVERNIGHT AND THEN MOVE NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE OUTER
BANKS FRIDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE EASTERN
SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIANS THIS EVENING WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS
THE PIEDMONT FRIDAY AND THEN OFF THE COAST FRIDAY NIGHT. COOL HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1050 PM THURSDAY...

CIRCULATION AROUND ARTHUR ABLE TO INGEST/MAINTAIN AN UNSTABLE LOW
LEVEL AIR MASS INTO THE COASTAL PLAIN OF CENTRAL NC THIS EVENING. IN
ADDITION...LOW LEVEL SRH VALUES ON  HE ORDER OF 100-150 M2/S2 WERE
ENOUGH TO ALLOW A FEW STORMS WITH SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS TO
ROTATE...PROMPTING A FEW TORNADO WARNINGS. BEST STORM AFFECTED
SOUTHERN EDGECOMBE-FAR NORTHERN WILSON COUNTIES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
PERSONNEL OBSERVING ROTATION ALONG WITH AN OCCASIONAL FUNNEL WEST OF
MACCLESFIELD, NC AROUND 830 PM.

02Z MESO ANALYSIS STILL DEPICTS ADVECTION OF A SLIGHT-MODERATELY
UNSTABLE AIR MASS INTO THE FAR NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN TEH NEXT FEW
HOURS. AS ARTHUR CONTINUES TO TRACK NE AND LOW LEVEL AIR MASS
STABILIZES...EXPECT TORNADIC THREAT TO DECREASE WITH TIME. EXPECT
THE TORNADO WATCH FOR HALIFAX AND EDGECOMBE COUNTIES TO BE CANCELLED
WELL BEFORE THE 8 AM EXPIRATION TIME.

FARTHER WEST...MID LEVEL TROUGH AIDING TO PUSH ARTHUR NEWD WILL EXIT
THE TN VALLEY OVERNIGHT AND CROSS THE CAROLINAS FRIDAY. SYSTEM WILL
CROSS REGION UNEVENTFULLY AS STRONG SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF ARTHUR
WILL SQUASH ANY APPRECIABLE LIFT. WHILE CANNOT NOT RULE OUT A FEW
SHOWERS IN THE PIEDMONT THROUGH 1-2 AM...BULK OF PRECIP WILL BE EAST
OF HIGHWAY 1 THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALONG EASTERN
PERIPHERY WILL GET CLOSE TO TWO INCHES WITH AMOUNTS ONE TO TWO
INCHES LIKELY ALONG I-95.

HAVE ADJUSTED HOURLY MIN TEMPS TO REFLECT REALITY AS RAIN COOLED AIR
HAS LOWERED TEMPS INTO THE LOW-MID 70S MOST LOCALES. LITTLE CHANGE
REQUIRED TO MIN TEMP FORECAST THOUGH AS INTRUSION OF DRIER AIR NOT
EXPECTED UNTIL CLOSE TO DAYBREAK IN THE WEST. -WSS

SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO THE EARLY TO MID MORNING HOURS FRIDAY ACROSS
THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN WITH SKIES BECOMING AT LEAST PARTLY
CLOUDY BY AFTERNOON. A COOLER AIR MASS WILL SPREAD INTO THE REGION
IN THE WAKE OF ARTHUR. HIGHS WILL RANGE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S ON
FRIDAY. A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD CUMULUS FIELD ACROSS EASTERN AND
SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL LARGELY DISSIPATE
AFTER SUNSET FRIDAY WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. IT
WIL BE DRAMATICALLY COOLER AND DRIER FRIDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE
MID 50S TO MID 60S. -BLAES

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 310 PM THURSDAY...

SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT...AND ACCOMPANYING 1025 MB SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE...WILL BUILD ESE ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES SAT...
THEN OFFSHORE SAT NIGHT-SUN. AFTERNOON SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER
40S AND LOWER 50S ON AVG...COMBINED WITH MILD TEMPERATURES GENERALLY
IN THE MIDDLE 80S...WILL RESULT IN UNSEASONABLY LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES. CALM AND RELATIVE CLEAR IN THE PRESENCE OF THE
LINGERING SFC RIDGE AXIS OVER NC...WITH PROJECTED LL THICKNESS
VALUES AROUND 1390 METERS...WILL SUPPORT LOWS SUN MORNING IN THE MID
TO UPPER 50S...TO AROUND 60 DEGREES OR SO IN URBAN AREAS - THOUGH
SHY OF RECORDS FOR THE DATE (6TH) OF 53 DEGREES AT GSO AND 54
DEGREES AT RDU AND FAY.

SUNDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION DAY...IN DEVELOPING RETURN FLOW AROUND
THE DEPARTING/ BERMUDA HIGH...WITH TEMPS AND HUMIDITY LEVELS
TRENDING UP - BUT STILL IN THE COMFORTABLE RANGE - WITH AFTERNOON
TEMPS AND SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES AND
MID 50S TO LOWER 60S...RESPECTIVELY. LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 325 PM THURSDAY...

NC WILL BE IN A TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN A BROAD TROUGH/CYCLONIC FLOW
ALOFT CENTERED NEAR THE GREAT LAKES/SOUTHERN CANADA AND A SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE CARIBBEAN AND GOM. THE PRIMARY LOW LEVEL
FRONTAL ZONE SHOULD CONSEQUENTLY BE HELD AT BAY TO THE NORTH OF
CENTRAL NC BENEATH THE LOWER HEIGHTS AT THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH...WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A PRONOUNCED LEE/PIEDMONT TROUGH -
ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF SUB-TROPICAL SURFACE RIDGING/THE BERMUDA
HIGH - OVER THE CAROLINAS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION DURING
THE PERIOD WILL BE DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK (TUE NIGHT-THU)...
WHEN BOTH 1) OUTFLOW FROM CONVECTION TO THE NORTH/NEARER THE
SYNOPTIC FRONTAL ZONE OVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES WOULD BE MOST
LIKELY TO DRIFT SOUTH OF THE VA BORDER AND 2) NWP GUIDANCE INDICATES
THE TAIL END OF A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
AFOREMENTIONED CYCLONIC FLOW TO OUR NORTH COULD GRAZE CENTRAL NC.
THE FORECAST POSITION OF THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE IN THE MID
LEVELS...INVOF THE FL PENINSULA...IS A BIT TOO FAR SOUTH TO RESULT
IN EXTREME HEAT AT THE LATITUDE OF CENTRAL NC. AS SUCH...HIGHS WILL
LIKELY PEAK IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S FOR MOST. LOWS IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 800 PM THURSDAY...

24 HOUR TAF PERIOD: MULTIPLE AREAS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS EVENING... POSSIBLY LASTING INTO
VERY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. HURRICANE ARTHUR WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE COASTAL
PLAIN...SANDHILLS AND EASTERN PIEDMONT PRIMARILY AFFECTING THE
TERMINALS AT KFAY...KRWI AND KRDU THROUGH AROUND 04-06Z (KRWI THE
LAST ONE TO SEE PRECIP MOVE OUT). ANOTHER ARE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
IS MOVING INTO THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD
FRONT. EXPECT THIS LINE TO WEAKEN THIS EVENING. HOWEVER... WE CLOUD
STILL SEE SOME SUB-VFR CONDITIONS AND PERHAPS SOME WIND GUSTS WITH
THE CONVECTION OF UP TO 25 KTS. EXPECT MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD
GENERALLY DISSIPATE/SHIFT EASTWARD BY 03Z OR SO.

PERIODS OF MVFR TO IFR RESTRICTIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING PERIODS OF
PRECIPITATION AND THEN GENERALLY IMPROVE INTO THE VFR RANGE FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO EARLY FRIDAY. IN ADDITION... AS
HURRICANE ARTHUR BEGINS TO SHIFT MORE NORTHEASTWARD LATE THIS
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT... WE MAY SEE NORTH TO NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS INCREASE WITH POSSIBLY SOME GUSTS OF UP 20 KTS POSSIBLE.

FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY BEHIND THE DEPARTING TROPICAL
SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT... WITH VFR CONDITIONS. KRWI MAY EXPERIENCES
SOME LINGERING GUSTS AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS UNTIL LATE FRIDAY
MORNING.

LONG TERM: IN THE WAKE OF ARTHUR...FAIR WEATHER WITH NO ADVERSE AVIATION
IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND. AN ISOLATED MAINLY AFTERNOON OR
EVENING SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE EARLY NEXT WEEK.
