AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
100 PM EST SAT JAN 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN QUICKLY
FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST LATE MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1045 AM SATURDAY...

FORECAST PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK WITH INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR STRONG-
SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS MOST OF THE CENTRAL NC.

WELL-DEFINED SQUALL LINE EXITING UPSTATE SC AT 1520Z PROGRESSING ENE
AT 30-35 MPH. THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS CONVECTIVE BAND WILL THREATEN
OUR WESTERN-SW COUNTIES SHORTLY BEFORE NOON THEN TRANSLATE EAST
ACROSS REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 21Z. THIS SCENARIO IS
ABOUT 2-3 HOURS FASTER COMPARED TO MODEL GUIDANCE FROM
YESTERDAY...AND A TAD FASTER COMPARED TO NEAR TERM GUIDANCE.  LATEST
SPC MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS BEST BULK SHEAR (40-50KTS) LYING ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WHILE POCKET OF BEST INSTABILITY
(MLCAPE CLOSE TO 1000 J/KG) IMMEDIATELY TO OUR SOUTH-SE. EXPECT THIS
LAYER OF INSTABILITY TO EXPAND NWD AS AIRMASS CONTINUES TO WARM
AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE. THIS SUGGEST AN INCREASING DAMAGING WIND
THREAT OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.  IN
ADDITION...LOW LEVEL HELICITY ON THE ORDER OF 250-350 M2/S2
POSITIONED AHEAD OF THE LINE SUPPORTS POTENTIAL FOR WEAK ISOLATED
TORNADOES...EITHER EMBEDDED IN THE LINE OR WITH INDIVIDUAL STORMS
AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE. THE TORNADO THREAT APPEARS TO BE ENHANCED
OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN COUNTIES WHERE NEAR SFC INSTABILITY
GREATER/DEEPER.

OTHERWISE...APPEARS MAX TEMPS IN THE 70-75 DEGREE RANGE LIKELY ALONG
AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 WITH 60S TO NEAR 70 ALONG OUR WESTERN BORDER.
PRESENCE OF LOW LEVEL JET (50-55KTS) SHOULD RESULT IN GUSTY SFC
WINDS AHEAD OF THE CONVECTION WITH GUSTS AROUND 30-35 MPH
PROBABLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN.

RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THIS
MORNING VARIED FROM JUST UNDER AN INCH TO AS MUCH AS TWO-THREE
INCHES IN THE FAY VICINITY. CONTEMPLATED A POSSIBLE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING
THE FAST MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTIVE LINE...EXPECT FLASH FLOODING TO
BE LOCALIZED AND CONFINED TO URBAN AREAS.  PLAN TO HANDLE WITH
URBAN/SMALL STREAM ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME. -WSS

TONIGHT...MORE STABLE AIR MOVES INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WITH THE
GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS FAIRLY SUBSIDENT BY 06Z. LINGERING SHOWERS...AND
A POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM IN THE COASTAL PLAIN EARLY TONIGHT...
DIMINISH WEST-TO-EAST AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FALL TO AROUND A
QUARTER-INCH BY 12Z SUNDAY. THE STRONG UPPER TROUGH WILL BE PUSHING
THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA AND EXPECT A FEW MID-LEVEL CLOUDS
ASSOCIATED WITH IT...BUT MODELS ARE STRONGLY DRY DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. OVERNIGHT LOWS UPPER 30S IN THE TRIAD TO THE MID
40S TOWARD KCTZ...AROUND 40 IN THE U.S. 1 CORRIDOR. -DJF

FROM 305 AM: FOR SUNDAY...SUBSIDENCE CONTINUES OVERALL...WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FALLING BELOW A QUARTER-INCH SUNDAY UNDER
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE SURFACE AND ALOFT. WITH MIXING...THE GFS BUFR
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A FEW WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 20KT SUNDAY BEFORE
WINDS SLACKEN AS THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH PULLS AWAY TO THE EAST AND
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD. HIGHS IN THE MID 50 TO AROUND
60.

SUNDAY NIGHT...THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS MOVES EAST WHICH COULD ALLOW
A RETURN OF A FEW HIGH CLOUDS INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE UPPER FLOW BACKS SOUTHWEST. THE RELATIVELY
STRONGER 300MB WINDS REMAIN SOUTHWEST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH 12Z MONDAY...THOUGH...SO ANY HIGH CLOUDS THAT
MOVE IN SHOULD BE SCATTERED TO POSSIBLY THIN BROKEN AT TIMES.
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 30S...COOLEST AND CLOSE TO FREEZING IN SOME OF
THE TYPICALLY COOLER LOCATIONS OF THE NORTHEAST PIEDMONT AND THE
NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. -DJF

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM SATURDAY...

SUNDAY'S SURFACE HIGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL HAVE MOVED
OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK MON... AS THE AXIS OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE
SHIFTS CORRESPONDINGLY OFF THE EAST COAST... IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER
LONGWAVE TROUGH DIGGING TO OUR WEST FROM THE GREAT LAKES DOWN
THROUGH OVER TX/OK/AR/LA/TN/AL. WINDS THROUGH THE COLUMN OVER NC
WILL BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY... DRAWING INCREASING AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE AREA... STARTING FIRST WELL ALOFT AS 80+ KT
SW WINDS THROUGH THE 600-300 MB LAYER AHEAD OF THE INCOMING TROUGH
WILL BRING IN INCREASING AND THICKENING HIGH CLOUDS FROM THE WSW
DURING MON. RISING THICKNESSES TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL VALUES SUPPORT
HIGHS OF 56-64... WITH A BRISK SURFACE WIND FROM THE SW. THE ECMWF
REMAINS MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED AND SLOWER (BY AROUND 6 HRS) THAN THE
NAM/GFS WITH THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE INCOMING TROUGH WITH THE
SURFACE WARM SECTOR SURGING WELL INLAND INTO THE COASTAL PLAIN
(ALTHOUGH NOT AS FAR INLAND AS YESTERDAY'S RUNS. HENCE THE ECMWF IS
MUCH WETTER MON NIGHT/TUE WITH A BETTER INFLUX OF MOISTURE AND
STRONGER DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT... WHILE THE NAM/GFS DEPICT
WEAKER AND MORE SHEARED VORTICITY CROSSING THE AREA WITH JUST LIGHT
PRECIP MON NIGHT THROUGH TUE MORNING. THE ECMWF AGREES WELL WITH ITS
ENSEMBLE MEAN BUT HAS SHOWN A SLIGHTLY FASTER AND SLIGHTLY MORE
SHEARED TREND IN RECENT RUNS WITH THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THIS
TROUGH... WHICH MAKES SENSE CONSIDERING THAT THE MODELS ARE TRENDING
STRONGER WITH THE NORTHERN ENERGY DIGGING INTO THE MIDWEST MON
NIGHT/TUE. SO WILL STAY WITH A COMPROMISE SOLUTION... WITH GOOD
CHANCE POPS FOR LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING... BETWEEN THE TIME
FRAMES OF THE SLOW ECMWF AND FASTER GFS... WITH QPF VALUES UP TO A
TENTH TO QUARTER INCH... MORE THAN THE GFS BUT LESS THAN THE ECMWF.
CONFIDENCE IN THIS EVENT IS NOT HIGH DUE TO THE MODEL
DISCREPANCIES... SO STAY TUNED. EXPECT MILD LOWS OF 40-51 MON NIGHT.
SKIES SHOULD GRADUALLY CLEAR OUT FROM NW TO SE TUE AS THE SHEARING
VORTICITY HEADS TO OUR EAST WITH THE WEAKENING MID LEVEL TROUGH. THE
NAM INDICATES LINGERING MOISTURE IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER... SO WILL
KEEP SCATTERED CLOUDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TOUGH CALL ON TEMPS AS
THE INCOMING HIGH WILL BE SOUTHERN-STREAM SOURCED AND LIKELY HIGHLY
MODIFIED... WITH THICKNESSES DIPPING BUT STAYING ABOVE NORMAL. WILL
HAVE HIGHS 55-62. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 305 AM SATURDAY...

MODEL DIFFERENCES CONTINUE INTO THE MEDIUM RANGE/LONG TERM...WITH
THE ECMWF AND ASSOCIATED ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ON THE SLOWER AND MORE
AMPLIFIED ENVELOPE OF SOLUTIONS REGARDING A TRAILING SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED STRONG CLIPPER SURFACER LOW FORECAST TO
MIGRATE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND LOWER GREAT LAKES...AND SOME
DEGREE OF SECONDARY COASTAL CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
COAST CENTERED AROUND WED. SINCE THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH IN QUESTION IS
AN ELONGATED AXIS OF SHEAR VORTICITY SOUTHWEST OF THE ALEUTIANS...IN
A REGION OUTSIDE OF THE DOMAIN OF THE EC AND GFS MODEL DATA
AVAILABLE TO RAH...IT IS DIFFICULT TO HAVE A PREFERENCE TOWARD ONE
CLUSTER OF SOLUTIONS OVER THE OTHER. BOTH CLUSTERS OF SOLUTIONS ARE
RELATIVELY MOISTURE-STARVED THROUGH A DEEP LAYER AT OUR LATITUDE -
NOT SURPRISING SINCE THE PRIMARY VORT AND CLIPPER SFC LOW PASS TO
OUR NORTH - SO WE WILL ACCORDINGLY MAINTAIN THE FLAVOR OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST...WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
CENTERED ON THE DAY WED. THERMAL PROFILES INDEED APPEAR QUITE
COLD...PARTICULARLY ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER (IN THE H85-7
LAYER)..CHARACTERISTIC OF STEEP LAPSE RATE ALOFT/MOISTURE-STARVED
SYSTEMS. THE NON-SPECIFIC MENTION OF "RAIN OR SNOW" WILL SUFFICE
UNTIL A CLEARER MODEL PREFERENCE AND/OR CONSENSUS BECOMES APPARENT.

CLEARING IN BRIEF MODIFIED POLAR HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW FOR
THU...IN ADVANCE OF YET ANOTHER SHARPENING TROUGH ALOFT AND
APPROACHING MOISTURE-STARVED SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE IN CONTINUED
STRONGLY PROGRESSIVE FLOW ALOFT...FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM SATURDAY...

HAZARDOUS AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST OVER CENTRAL NC FOR A FEW
MORE HOURS... BEFORE IMPROVING TO VFR FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN 20Z
AND 23Z. A STRONGLY FORCED LINE OF STORMS NOW MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL
NC IS REINFORCING IFR CONDITIONS AT INT/GSO AND WILL BRING THE
CURRENT MVFR CONDITIONS AT RDU/FAY/RWI DOWN TO IFR OR LIFR FOR A
PERIOD OF 1-2 HOURS AS THE SQUALL LINE MOVES THROUGH. IN
ADDITION...BLUSTERY AND CHAOTIC WINDS WILL PERSIST AT AROUND 15 KTS
GUSTING TO 25-35 KTS... FROM THE WNW AT INT/GSO AND FROM THE SSW AT
RDU/FAY/RWI THAT WILL BE SHIFTING TO BE FROM THE WNW. BY 00Z-04Z...
CIGS WILL LIFT ABOVE 10 000 FT AGL AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH.
WNW WINDS OF 10-15 KTS ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST OVERNIGHT THROUGH 18Z
SUN. VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE FROM 06Z TONIGHT THROUGH 18Z SUN
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WSW.

LOOKING BEYOND 18Z SUN... VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THROUGH LATE
MON AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES QUICKLY EASTWARD OVER THE SOUTHEAST
STATES AND OFFSHORE. THERE IS A CHANCE OF MVFR CONDITIONS MON NIGHT
THROUGH TUE AS ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM CROSSES THE AREA. VFR CONDITIONS
ARE LIKELY TO DOMINATE ONCE AGAIN TUE NIGHT THROUGH THU... WITH A
SHORT PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY AT INT/GSO/RDU WED AS
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSES THE REGION. -GIH
