AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
358 PM EDT MON AUG 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL CROSS THE
REGION THROUGH MID-WEEK IN ASSOCIATION WITH A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM MONDAY...

OVERVIEW: AS OF 19Z...A POTENT SHORTWAVE LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN VA
INVOF SOUTH HILL WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST TOWARD VIRGINIA BEACH
AND ELIZABETH CITY THROUGH 00Z. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WAS CENTERED
UPSTREAM NEAR LYNCHBURG VA...ON THE HEELS OF THE PRIOR WAVE. YET
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WAS LOCATED OVER UPSTATE SC AND WILL TRACK
SLOWLY EAST ALONG OR NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER THROUGH THIS EVE. WITH
SUCH A COMPLICATED PATTERN...UNCERTAINTY IN CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION
REMAINS HIGH THIS AFT/EVE. PERVASIVE CLOUD COVER/PRECIP NORTH OF HWY
64 AND A MINIMUM IN 925 MB MOISTURE OVER MOST OF THE AREA PRIOR TO
17Z LARGELY SUPPRESSED DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION. HOWEVER...BOTH
DECREASING CLOUD COVER AND RICH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION (~19C
DEWPT AT 925 MB) FROM THE SOUTHWEST HAVE RESULTED IN RAPID
DESTABILIZATION THE PAST SEVERAL HRS...WITH MODERATE TO STRONG
MLCAPE (2000-2500 J/KG) PER 19Z SPC MESOANALYSIS.

PRECIP/TEMPS: GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF SEVERAL SHORTWAVES POISED TO
BRUSH BOTH THE NORTHERN/SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF CENTRAL NC...DEEP
MOISTURE (PWAT 1.75-2.00") AND MODERATE INSTABILITY...EXPECT
CONVECTION TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY LATE THIS AFT/EVE...
WITH A LOW CHANCE LINGERING OVERNIGHT. LOWS TONIGHT IN THE LOWER
70S.

SEVERE THREAT: A FAVORABLE COMBINATION OF INSTABILITY AND LOW/DEEP
LAYER SHEAR HAS EMERGED THIS AFTERNOON IN THE TRIAD...WHERE A WEAK
MESOLOW HAS DEVELOPED ALONG A BAROCLINIC ZONE GENERATED BY
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING/EVAP COOLING. IN THIS AREA...CONVECTIVE
PARAMETERS WOULD SUGGEST A POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELLULAR ORGANIZATION
AND PERHAPS AN ISOLD TORNADO. OUTSIDE OF THIS LOCALLY FAV
ENVIRONMENT...STRON INSTABILITY AND UNIDIRECTIONAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR
ON THE ORDER OF 20-30 KT (STRONGEST NORTH) WOULD SUGGEST CONVECTION
WILL TAKE ON EITHER MULTICELL/SUPERCELLULAR CHARACTERISTICS WITH A
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND MARGINALLY SVR HAIL THROUGH
00-03Z THIS EVENING. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...

EXPECT PRECIP CHANCES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY...AROUND 30-
40%...IN ASSOC/W A PATTERN OF WNW/NW FLOW ALOFT AND ABOVE NORMAL
MOISTURE. -VINCENT

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 220 PM MONDAY...

THE MAJOR PROBLEM THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE DISCERNING
WHEN AND WHERE A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR.
THERE IS GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS AS TO THE TRANSITION TO A LARGER SCALE
BLOCKING PATTERN OVER THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
GRADUAL MIGRATION OF AN UPPER LOW ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OFF THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL AMPLIFY INTO A
DEEPER UPPER TROF DOWN THE COAST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. CONCURRENT
AMPLIFICATION OF AN UPPER RIDGE WEST OF THE AREA WILL PRODUCE
PERSISTENT NORTHWEST FLOW WHICH WILL PRESENT THE USUAL PROBLEMS WITH
TIMING FEATURES THAT WILL BE STEERED INTO THE AREA. AIRMASS WILL BE
REASONABLY WARM (UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S) AND MOIST...PW ~1.5 INCHES...
BUT MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL BE HAMPERED BY WESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE
DEEP SOUTH...SO CHANCES OF RAIN WILL BE IN THE CLIMATOLOGICAL
RANGE...30 PERCENT-ISH...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

A COOL SURGE WILL PROGRESS SOUTH AND ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AS
HIGH PRESSURE OVER FAR EASTERN CANADA IS SHUNTED DOWN THE EASTERN
SLOPES OF APPALACHIANS. THIS WILL ENHANCE A COASTAL TROF IN PLACE
OFFSHORE AND RESULT IN DEEP NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW WITH
ACCOMPANYING MOIST AND COOLER MARINE-FLAVORED AIRMASS PERSISTING
THROUGH MONDAY. ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE MINIMAL...AND MID LEVEL
FEATURES IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE NIL-CONFIDENCE THIS FAR IN
ADVANCE. WOULD EXPECT PATCHY LIGHT RAIN/SHOWERS TO BE THE
PREDOMINANT TYPE OF PRECIP...WITH POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION HINGING
ON UPSTREAM FEATURES WE MIGHT SEE 24-48 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
THICKNESSES WOULD INDICATE A 3-5 DEGREE COOL DOWN FOR SATURDAY...AND
ANOTHER 1-2 DEGREES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS WOULD KEEP US IN THE MID
TO UPPER 80S EACH DAY...WHICH IS MORE LIKELY TO ERR ON THE HIGH SIDE
GIVEN THE LOOK OF THE PATTERN AND POTENTIAL FOR SOCKING IN SOME
SATURATED MARINE LAYER AIR OVERNIGHT WITH ACCOMPANYING DENSE FOG/LOW
STRATUS TO START THE DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 1115 AM MONDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD: PERIODS OF MVFR CEILINGS AND VISBYS ASSOCIATED
WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST IF NOT ALL
TERMINALS THROUGH THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT/VARIABLE AT
NORTHERN TERMINALS AND SOUTHWEST AT 5-10 KT AT SOUTHERN TERMINALS
(FAY). A PERIOD OF SUB-VFR CEILINGS AND/OR FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
ALL TERMINALS EARLY TUE MORNING (08-13Z)...WITH THE BEST CHANCE IN
AREAS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL THIS AFT/EVE...THOUGH CONFIDENCE REMAINS
TOO LOW TO INCLUDE MENTION THEREOF WITH THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE.

LOOKING AHEAD: EXPECT A CLIMATOLOGICAL POTENTIAL FOR AFT/EVE SHOWERS
AND STORMS THROUGH MID TO LATE WEEK...ALONG WITH A POTENTIAL FOR FOG
AND/OR LOW CEILINGS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. -VINCENT

&&

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

NORTH OF HIGHWAY 64. A BRIEF TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT NEAR THE
INTERSTATE 85 CORRIDOR WHERE A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAS
RECENTLY DEVELOPED ALONG A WEAK FRONTAL ZONE NEAR THE VIRGINIA
BORDER.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
