AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
645 AM EST FRI FEB 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO OUR AREA FROM THE
SOUTHWEST TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...THEN DRIFT EAST AND OFFSHORE ON
SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 315 AM FRIDAY...

MODEL GUIDANCE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF A CONVECTIVE
BAND THAT WILL PROGRESS EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NC LATER TODAY.
CONVECTIVE BAND CURRENTLY EXITING THE TN VALLEY...MOVING INTO THE
SMOKEY MOUNTAINS. LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF THIS CONVECTIVE SYSTEM
QUITE STRONG WITH AREA VAD WIND PROFILES DEPICTING AROUND 60KTS.
THIS LOW LEVEL JET PROJECTED TO LIFT ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS
MORNING...JUST AHEAD OF THE CONVECTIVE LINE.

ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF THE CONVECTIVE LINE CURRENTLY CONDITIONALLY
UNSTABLE. THIS WILL PREDOMINATE THIS MORNING ACROSS THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT. BASED ON TIMING...APPEARS TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
NEAR SFC AIR MASS TO DESTABILIZE ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1...AND
MORE SO ALONG THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR. BY EARLY
AFTERNOON...MUCAPE VALUES LIKELY TO EXCEED 1000 J/KG ALONG OUR
EASTERN FRINGE AND SFC BASED CAPE POSSIBLY OVER 1500 J/KG. STORM
RELATIVE HELICITY AS WELL AS 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES SUPPORTIVE OF
ORGANIZED CONVECTION WITH AN INCREASING THREAT FOR A FEW ROTATING
STORMS OVER OUR EASTERN COUNTIES. MODEL DEPICT GENERALLY STRAIGHT
LINE HODOGRAPHS WITH MODEST TURNING. THIS IS MORE SUPPORTIVE OF
DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. HOWEVER...IF A MESO-LOW CAN DEVELOP
WITHIN THE CONVECTIVE BAND...COULD SEE AN ENHANCED TORNADIC THREAT.

WITH PARAMETERS COMING TOGETHER AND INCREASED FORECAST
CONFIDENCE...WILL MENTION HIGHLIGHT STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS IN
FORECAST TEXT. IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...WILL MENTION A
ISOLATED TORNADO POSSIBLE OVER OUR EASTERN COUNTIES.

TEMPS TODAY DEPENDENT UPON ARRIVAL OF SHOWERS. WITH TEMPS STARTING
OUT IN THE MID 60S (POSSIBLY UPPER 60S)...POTENTIAL FOR TEMPS TO
WARM ABOVE 70 DEGREES EAST OF HIGHWAY 1.

WLY WINDS BEHIND THE EXITING SYSTEM WILL ADVECT DRIER MORE STABLE
AIR INTO CENTRAL NC...LEADING TO DIMINISHING SHOWER COVERAGE AND
DECREASING CLOUD COVERAGE. EXPECT CLEARING TO COMMENCE LATE THIS
MORNING IN THE NW PIEDMONT...PROGRESSING INTO THE EASTERN PIEDMONT
BY EARLY-MID AFTERNOON...AND THE COASTAL PLAIN BY LATE AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY WILL BUILD INTO
CENTRAL NC. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL ADVECT A SLIGHTLY COOLER AND
DRIER AIR MASS I TO THE REGION. MIXING INITIALLY THIS EVENING WILL
KEEP TEMPS FROM FREE-FALLING. AFTER MIDNIGHT...COULD SEE SFC WINDS
DECOUPLE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT...ALLOWING TEMPS TO COOL. MIN TEMPS IN
THE MID-UPPER 30S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 304 AM FRIDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...
AND A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA BRINGING
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. INITIAL COLD ADVECTION EARLY SATURDAY WILL
BECOME NEUTRAL... AS UPPER LEVEL FLOW REMAINS PRIMARILY
SOUTHWESTERLY DURING THE DAY SATURDAY... AND TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE SUNDAY... WARMER SOUTHERLY FLOW...
AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES WILL RESULT IN TEMPERATURES
SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 305 AM FRIDAY...

A DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA MONDAY MORNING...
BRINGING TEMPERATURES MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE
WEEK.

STRONG SIGNAL FOR RIDGING ACROSS THE WESTERN US... WITH BROAD
TROUGHING DEVELOPING OVER THE EAST COAST THROUGH THE WEEK. THIS WILL
BRING TEMPS BACK BELOW NORMAL. WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST
FLOW GENERALLY STAY NORTH OF OUR AREA THROUGH THIS PERIOD... WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF WEDNESDAY WHEN A AN IMPULSE AND ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT ARE PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA... AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO DEVELOP OFF THE CAROLINA COAST... BRINGING
THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION DURING THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 645 AM FRIDAY...

A STRONG COLD FRONT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A BAND OF SHOWERS AND STRONG
TO BRIEFLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE SHOWERS
AND STORMS WERE EXITING THE NC MOUNTAINS AT 1130Z...STILL MOVING
QUICKLY TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST. THE LEADING EDGE OF THESE SHOWERS AND
STORMS SHOULD REACH THE NW PIEDMONT INCLUDING THE TRIAD BY 13Z...THE
TRIANGLE AREA AND SANDHILLS INCLUDING KRDU AND KFAY BETWEEN 15Z AND
17Z...AND THE COASTAL PLAIN INCLUDING KRWI AND KGSB BETWEEN 16Z AND
18Z. THE ATMOSPHERE IS EXPECTED TO BE MOST UNSTABLE ACROSS THE
SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN...SO A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH
WIND GUSTS 40-50KTS MAY OCCUR IN THIS REGION. OTHERWISE EXPECT
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN VICINITY OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS.

WLY FLOW BEHIND THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT WILL ADVECT DRIER AND
STABLE AIR INTO CENTRAL NC. THIS WILL LEAD TO CLEARING SKIES WEST-TO-
EAST...STARTING AROUND MID DAY IN THE TRIAD...REACHING THE TRIANGLE
BY MID AFTERNOON...AND THE COASTAL PLAIN BY 21-23Z.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO CENTRAL NC TONIGHT AND LINGER THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE CENTRAL NC WITH VFR
CONDITIONS.

A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS CENTRAL NC SUNDAY. SINCE THE AIR MASS WILL
BE RELATIVELY DRY AND STABLE...THIS WEATHER FEATURE EXPECTED TO HAVE
LITTLE IMPACT ON AVIATION CONDITIONS ASIDE FROM SFC WINDS VEERING
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTH-NORTHWEST WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY.

&&

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
