AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
321 PM EDT TUE MAR 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...LINGERIN COLD AIR DAMMING WEDGE WILL SLOWLY ERODE
ON WEDNESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT
PASSAGE EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...

NEAR TERM PERIOD WILL DEAL WITH THE SLOW DEMISE OF THE LINGERING
COLD AIR DAMMING WEDGE IN PLACE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS.

WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT AND RESULTANT PATCHY LIGHT
RAIN/DRIZZLE VIA ISENTROPI LIFT COURTESY OF THE 925-850 LOW-LEVEL
EASTERLY FLOW ABOUT THE COASTAL LOW WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS
LOW PULLS OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC. AS SUCH THERE COULD BE A LULL
BEFORE WE START A RESURGENCE OF SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN  VIA
LOW-LEVEL SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW IN ADVANCE OF A ~1000MB SURFACE LOW
LIFTING NEWD THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND UPPER MS VALLEY. THERE WILL BE
NO P-TYPE CONCERNS HOWEVER WITH TEMPERATURES THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT HOLDING NEARLY STEADY IN THE LOWER/MID 30S NORTH TO UPPER
30S SOUTH. ALTERNATIVELY...IF THERE IS LESS IN THE WAY OF
DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN...FOG IS LIKELY TO DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE
MOIST/SATURATED DAMMING AIRMASS...WITH SOME DENSE FOG POSSIBLE
ACROSS WESTERN/CENTRAL PIEDMONT(HEART OF THE WEDGE)DURING THE
PREDAWN HOURS.

STRENGTHENING 30-35KTS SWLY FLOW ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED LOW TRACKING INTO THE GREAT LAKES DURING THE DAY ON
WEDNESDAY AND ATOP THE INVERSION LAYER WILL SCOUR OUT OF THE
RESIDUAL DAMMING AIRMASS...WITH WARM SECTOR OVERSPREADING THE AREA
FROM THE SOUTHWEST...ALBEIT VERY LATE IN THE DAY WITH ANY LINGERING
DRIZZLE/SHALLOW SHOWERS LIFTING OFF TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST WITHIN
THE RETREATING WEDGE AIRMASS.   AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE WITH
CAD...GREAT BUST POTENTIAL WRT HIGH TEMPERATURES
WEDNESDAY...DEPENDENT ON EXACT TIMING OF CAD EROSION. EXPECT
NORTHERN/NORTHWEST PIEDMONT TO IN SOME DEGREE OF LOW CLOUDS THROUGH
MOST OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS(POSSIBLY LINGERING UNTIL THE FROPA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT)WITH STRONG INSOLATION ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGES
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT/SANDHILLS/SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. HIGHS
RANGING FROM UPPER 40S/NEAR 50 NW TO LOWER/MID 60S SE.

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY...

THE UPPER AIR PATTERN DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD FEATURES A
PROGRESSIVE UPPER TROUGH WITH TWO EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES THAT MOVE
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. AT THE
SURFACE A DEPARTING WARM FRONT WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE REGION
WEDNESDAY EVENING AS A WAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST. THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT AND OFFSHORE
BY THURSDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
EARLY THURSDAY WILL SHIFT EAST AND SETTLE OVER THE EASTERN CAROLINAS
ON FRIDAY.

THE COLD FRONT WILL BE MOISTURE STARVED AND ABSENT OF ANY
SIGNIFICANT FORCING SO NO POPS WILL BE INCLUDED DURING THE FROPA AND
DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. LOW
TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE IN THE LOWER TO MID 40S.
DEEP MIXING IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT WILL PROMOTE CONSIDERABLE
WARMING ON THURSDAY WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING NEAR SEASONABLE
VALUES WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. AFTER A CHILLY NIGHT WITH
LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S...HIGHS WILL WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S ON FRIDAY. -BLAES
&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM TUESDAY...

...AFTER A SHORT LIVED MILD PERIOD IT WILL BE TURNING COLDER EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM POSSIBLE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...

THE UPPER FLOW PATTERN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD FEATURES A
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT THAT BUCKLES A BIT AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY AND A MEAN TROUGH DEVELOPS ACROSS
THE EASTERN U.S. ON MONDAY. THE NORTHERN STREAM STRENGTHENS ON
MONDAY WITH ENERGY DIVING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND OHIO VALLEY
ON TUESDAY AND TRIES TO PHASE WITH THE SOUTHERN STREAM.

FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE COAST. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE SATURDAY AND SLOWLY DROPS THROUGH THE AREA
ON SUNDAY. NWP GUIDANCE VARIES WITH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE
TO THE SYSTEM AND THE SUBSEQUENT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION. AT THIS
POINT...PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOOK MINIMAL AND WILL ONLY INCLUDE A
SLIGHT CHANCE POP FOR LATE SATURDAY AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION TO LINGER AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
HIGHS AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON SATURDAY WILL REACH THE LOWER 70S WITH
MILD LOWS IN THE LOWER AND MID 40S ON SATURDAY NIGHT. COOLER
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO
LOWER 60S.

COLD HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL BUILD INTO THE
REGION ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AND RIDGE INTO THE REGION ON
MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN FALL BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS
ONLY IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S ON MONDAY.

THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL LIKELY ARRIVE AT THE END OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG
SOUTHERN JET MAY FORM IN THE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO
MONDAY NIGHT AND THEN MOVE EAST AND OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. THIS
SYSTEM MAY SPREAD PRECIPITATION NORTHWARD INTO OUR REGION AS A
STRONG NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND
MID ATLANTIC ON TUESDAY. NWP GUIDANCE PROVIDES VARYING SOLUTIONS FOR
THIS EVENT BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME PRECIPITATION AT THIS POINT
WARRANTS AT LEAST A SMALL POP. THE AIR MASS ACROSS THE REGION WILL
BE COLD AND PTYPE COULD BE AN ISSUE GIVEN THE PATTERN BUT WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES SUFFICIENTLY WARM TO INCLUDE RAIN AT THIS TIME. -BLAES

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD: IFR CONDITIONS...PREDOMINATELY CEILINGS
500-900 FT AGL WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS EVENING...IN ASSOCIATION
WITH LINGERING COLD AIR DAMMING WEDGE IN PLACE WITH PATCHY RA/DZ
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO TUTORED FURTHER AFTER SUNSET AS BL
COOLS WITH CEILINGS LOWERING TO LIFR AND CONTINUED THREAT OF PATCHY
DRIZZLE AND EVEN POSSIBLY DENSE FOG AT KINT AND KGSO. CEILINGS WILL
BE SLOW TO IMPROVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH
STRENGTHENING SWLY FLOW OF 25-35KTS AT THE TOP OF THE INVERSION
LAYER HELPING TO SLOWLY MIX/SCOUR OUT THE WEDGE.

LOOKING AHEAD: VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN WEDNESDAY
NIGHT/THURSDAY AHEAD OF A MOSTLY DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THROUGH
THE AREA. DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN THU INTO FRI.THE NEXT CHANCE
FOR SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL ARRIVE LATE SATURDAY AND INTO SUNDAY AS
THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
