Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 3:06 PM EDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
306 PM EDT THU JUN 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY APPROACH
AND CROSS THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY.  A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS
OUR REGION LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL THEN STALL
JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...

MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES OVER CENTRAL NC AHEAD OF A SLOW
MOVING UPPER TROUGH NEAR THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS....WITH
OBSERVED PW OVER 2 INCHES AND LCL TO FREEZING LEVEL DEPTH AROUND 10K
FT.   SO FAR TODAY...SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE BEEN FOCUS OVER THE
COASTAL PLAIN BUT THE BULK TO THE CONVECTION IS NOW MOVING OFF
TOWARD SOUTHEAST VA.  MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE WEAK BUT DEWPOINTS
IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S STILL SUPPORT UP TO 1500 J/KG
MLCAPE...GREATEST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT AND SANDHILLS
WHERE HEATING HAS BEEN STRONGEST. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SOME
DRIER AIR MID-LEVEL AIR MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN/WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA WITH A SHORTWAVE LIFTING ACROSS UPSTATE SC...WHERE A
CLUSTER OF STORMS CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM WEST OF CLT TO NEAR CAE.
GIVEN SOME ADDITIONAL DESTABILIZATION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS
AND DCAPE...ALONG WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER FORCING...A FEW
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS STILL SEEM POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT.

THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND LOSS OF
HEATING WILL BRING MOST CONVECTION TO AN END BY MIDNIGHT.  FOG WILL
BE POSSIBLE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN AREAS
WHERE RAIN HAS FALLEN TODAY. LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...

FRIDAY...
THE SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE AREA TONIGHT WILL WILL LIFT OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST...SHIFTING THE AXIS OF 2 INCH PW OFFSHORE. HOWEVER...THE
MEAN TROUGH AXIS WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE AREA AS AN MCV ASSOCIATED
WITH CONVECTION OVER THE LOWER MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY WEAKENS
APPROACHING THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. THE LEE TROUGH WILL BE THE
PRIMARY FOCUS FOR CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH SOME
ADDITIONAL AID FROM THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH. MODEST MLCAPE
OF 1000-1500 J/KG SHOULD DEVELOP AGAIN...STRONGEST IN THE EAST
WHERE DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN THE UPPER 60S. SHEAR WILL AGAIN BE
WEAK...SO THE SEVERE POTENTIAL SHOULD BE ISOLATED WITHIN THE
MAINLY SCATTERED COVERAGE BY MID AFTERNOON. HIGHS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 80S.

FRIDAY NIGHT...
PASSING SHORTWAVE WILL BRAW SOME DRIER...MORE STABLE AIR INTO THE
AREA FROM THE NORTH-NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT AS THE LEE TROUGH IS
SHUNTED SOUTH AND EAST. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND POOLING OF
HIGHER DEWPOINT AIR ACROSS THE SOUTH MAY LEAD TO SOME ISOLATED
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT...BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE CWA WILL BE DRY.
LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...
SURFACE BOUNDARY WHICH WILL DRIFT SWD FRIDAY NIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY
PROJECTED TO LIE IN VICINITY OF SC BORDER SATURDAY. THIS SFC
BOUNDARY BEING PROPELLED SWD BY A NORTHERN STEAM S/W PASSING NORTH
OF THE REGION. MODEL GUIDANCE HAS LEANED TOWARD A SLIGHTLY DRIER
MORE STABLE AIR MASS INFILTRATING THE NORTHERN COUNTIES SATURDAY
BUT WEAK FLOW WILL LIKELY LIMIT MUCH FARTHER ADVANCEMENT INTO THE
SANDHILLS/SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. WITH
A MODEST UPPER LEVEL ANTI-CYCLONE SETTING UP OVER VA...ASSOCIATED
SUBSIDENCE WILL LIKELY SQUELCH CONVECTIVE CHANCES ACROSS THE FAR
NORTH. THUS...APPEARS BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE CONFINED
TO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES THIS PERIOD. IF SFC FRONT ABLE TO PUSH
FARTHER SOUTH...CONVECTION MAY BE FEW IN NUMBER EVEN ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN COUNTIES. FOR NOW WILL CONFINE POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE JUST
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 64 TO AROUND 40 PERCENT IN THE FAR SOUTH
SATURDAY...AND NO HIGHER THAN 30 PERCENT ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH.

AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL...RANGING IN THE MID-UPPER
80S. OVERNIGHT TEMPS MID 60S-AROUND 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...

MONDAY...
UPPER AIR PATTERN WILL FEATURE WEAK UPPER LEVEL ANTI-CYCLONE
DRIFTING E-SE TO A POSITION IN VICINITY OF THE OUTER BANKS.
MEANWHILE REMNANTS OF WEAK/DECAYING SFC BOUNDARY MAY DRIFT BACK INTO
THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. THIS SFC IN CONJUNCTION WITH AVAILABLE
MOISTURE AND AFTERNOON HEATING WILL TRIGGER ISOLATED-
CONVECTION...MOST OF WHICH WILL DISSIPATE BY EARLY EVENING.
MODIFYING AIR MASS WILL YIELD MAX TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGY...UPEPR 80S -LOWER 90S.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE DIFFER WITH UPPER
AIR PATTERN AS 00Z ECMWF FAVORS A DEEP CUT-OFF LOW OVER THE NW U.S.
WHICH IN TURN CAUSES UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS TO AMPLIFY OVER THE LOWER
MS/DEEP SOUTH INTO THE MID MS VALLEY. THE 12Z GFS IS MORE
PROGRESSIVE IN THE NORTHERN STREAM...DEPICTING A S/W CROSSING THE
NORTHERN TIER WHICH RESULTS IN A SW FLOW ALOFT OVER THE CAROLINAS.
THE LATER SOLUTION WOULD FAVOR A BETTER CHANCE FOR DIURNAL
CONVECTION VERSUS THE ECMWF. FOR NOW WILL KEEP POPS CLOSE TO CLIMO
25-30 PERCENT) AND KEEP THE PRECIP CHANCES TIED TO DIURNALLY DRIVEN
CONVECTION. MODEL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN ADVERTISING WARM AFTERNOON TEMPS
IN THE LOW-MOD 90S. SET-UP DOESN'T FAVOR TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL SO WILL LEAN TOWARD MAX TEMPS JUST ABOVE NORMAL (UPPER 80S-
LOWER 90S). IF GFS VERIFIES...MAX TEMPS WILL END UP BEING IN THE MID-
UPPER 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM THURSDAY...

SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVING THROUGH THE COASTAL PLAIN...NOW EAST OF
KRWI...WILL GIVE WAY TO A PERIOD OF MARGINALLY VFR CONDITIONS THIS
AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS ASSOCIATED
WITH AN UPPER DISTURBANCE OVER UP STATE SC ARE MOVING TOWARD THE
WESTERN PIEDMONT AND MAY ENCROACH UPON KINT/KGSO BY 21Z.  IT REMAINS
A LITTLE UNCERTAIN HOW STRONG THESE SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BE...BUT
A PERIOD OF AT LEAST MVFR CEILINGS/VSBYS SHOULD BE EXPECTED.
FURTHER EAST...THE VERY MOISTURE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT MAY REACH VICINITY OF
KFAY/KRDU AND KRWI THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING AND THE PASSAGE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED UPEPR
DISTURBANCE...THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DECREASE.
THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN OVERNIGHT WILL THEN BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
STRATUS AND FOG...WHICH SEEMS MOST LIKE FROM KRDU TO KRWI BASED ON
RAINFALL SO FAR TODAY.

OUTLOOK...SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
POSSIBLE...THOUGH THE COVERAGE SHOULD DECREASE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
