AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
335 PM EDT TUE SEP 2 2014

.SYNOPSIS...AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND OVER THE REGION
TODAY.  A WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL NC
ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 335 PM TUESDAY...

A S/W APPROACHING FROM THE NW HAS HELPED TO SHARPEN A SURFACE TROUGH
OVER THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PIEDMONT. WEAK CONFLUENCE ALONG THIS
FEATURE IN A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS HAS HELPED TO TRIGGER
SCATTERED CONVECTION IN THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT AND WESTERN SANDHILLS.
THIS CONVECTION MOVING SLUGGISHLY EAST-SE AS WINDS ALOFT ARE
RELATIVELY LIGHT. EXPECT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO INCREASE OVER THE
PIEDMONT AFTER 21Z AS THE S/W GETS CLOSER...FURTHER INCREASING
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH. THE SHEAR AXIS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE S/W WILL DRIFT SEWD INTO THE PIEDMONT/NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN
THIS EVENING...THEN INTO THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN
OVERNIGHT. SINCE THE MAIN S/W ENERGY WILL BE LIFTING AWAY FROM OUR
REGION...BEST SUPPORT FOR CONVECTION WILL BE FROM LOW LEVEL LIFT.
THUS ONCE THE SUNSETS...EXPECT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO DECREASE. BULK
SHEAR IS WEAK OR NON-EXISTENT SO THREAT FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION
APPEARS LOW. CELLS WHICH ARE ABLE TO SUSTAIN CORES ALOFT FOR 15 -20
MINUTES STAND THE BEST CHANCE OF PRODUCING LOCALIZED WIND GUSTS 35-
50KTS.  ALSO FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING WILL ACCOMPANY THE
STRONGER STORMS.

WHILE BULK OF CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH BY  MID-LATE EVENING...EXPECT
A FEW SHOWERS/STORMS TO CONTINUE WELL INTO THE NIGHT AS THE SHEAR
AXIS AND ATTENDANT SURFACE TROUGH DRIFT SEWD INTO THE REGION. WHERE
HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON-EVENING AND SKIES PARTIALLY
CLEAR OVERNIGHT...COULD SEE PATCHES OF FOG DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT.
MIN TEMPS NEAR 70-LOWER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 335 PM TUESDAY...

SHEAR AXIS AND ATTENDANT SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL LIE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF CENTRAL NC. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG
THIS FEATURE WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL GROW IN COVERAGE AS THE
ATMOSPHERE HEATS UP...LEADING TO GREATER LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY.
RELATIVELY WEAK STEERING FLOW SUGGEST THAT THE STORMS WILL BE SLOW
MOVING. IF STORMS OCCUR OVER URBAN LOCATIONS...THIS MAY LEAD TO
MINOR FLOODING OF STREETS AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

PLAN TO CAP POPS AT 50 PERCENT ACROSS THE SOUTH...DWINDLING TO 25-35
PERCENT ACROSS THE NW.

MAX TEMPS WEDNESDAY DEPENDENT ON WHEN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE INCREASES
AND WHETHER ANY PERIODS OF PARTIAL SUN OCCUR. BETTING ON SOME
PARTIAL SUN INT HE LATE MORNING-EARLY AFTERNOON PRIOR TO CONVECTION
INCREASING AFTER 2-3 PM. IF SKIES REMAIN OVERCAST OR CONVECTION
BECOMES ACTIVE BY LUNCHTIME...MAX TEMPS MAY END UP BEING 5-6 DEGREES
COOLER. CONTINUED WARM AND MUGGY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH SCATTERED
CONVECTION SLOWLY DIMINISHING/DISSIPATING. MIN TEMPS NEAR 70-LOWER
70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 255 PM TUESDAY...

FOR THU/FRI: CONTINUED WARM/HUMID WITH DAILY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS. AT THE SURFACE... THE WEAK FRONTAL ZONE WILL LIKELY HAVE
WASHED OUT BY THU MORNING... AND THE SURFACE HIGH CENTERED OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST WILL INTRODUCE A MOIST CONFLUENT LOW LEVEL FLOW OFF
THE ATLANTIC INTO NC. A POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH WILL SHIFT FROM
MT/DAKOTAS/SCENTRAL CANADA EARLY THU ACROSS ONT/QUE BY FRI NIGHT...
PROPELLING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES/MID MISS VALLEY. AS
THE FLAT RIDGE HOLDS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST/MIDSOUTH/GULF STATES
HOWEVER... WE'LL STAY WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY WEAK
SHEAR AND MODERATE INSTABILITY (TEMPERED BY WARM MID LEVELS). PW
VALUES SHOULD STAY ABOVE NORMAL AT 1.7-1.9"... NOT UNEXPECTED GIVEN
THE TROPICAL NATURE OF THE INCOMING AIR MASS... AND SUFFICIENT TO
SUPPORT SCATTERED CONVECTION ALONG THE SEA BREEZE... DYING FRONTAL
ZONE... OR ANY OTHER SUBTLE BOUNDARY. WILL RETAIN AFTERNOON AND
EVENING STORM CHANCES BOTH DAYS... WITH TEMPS HOLDING ABOUT A
CATEGORY ABOVE NORMAL AS THICKNESSES STAY AROUND 10 M ABOVE NORMAL.

FOR SAT-TUE: STILL EXPECT A TRANSITION FROM THE WARM/HUMID WEATHER
TO MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS LATE IN THE WEEKEND. THE INITIAL MID
LEVEL TROUGH OVER ERN QUEBEC WILL CONTINUE SHIFTING EAST OVER THE
MARITIMES... WHILE A STRONG SLUG OF STRONG VORTICITY EMANATING FROM
A STRONG COLD VORTEX OVER THE BEAUFORT SEA WILL PUSH EASTWARD CLOSE
ON ITS HEELS... CROSSING HUDSON BAY ON SUNDAY. THIS SHOULD PUSH THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT TO JUST NW OF NC BY SUN... AND WELL INTO THE
STATE BY EARLY MON. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF TRACK THEIR COOL PARENT
HIGHS OVER THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY/SRN QUEBEC MON/TUE... WITH THE
COLD FRONT PUSHING TO ERN NC AND ACROSS NWRN SC. THIS MODEL
AGREEMENT LEADS TO GROWING CONFIDENCE THAT THE PARENT HIGH WILL BE
DENSE ENOUGH TO PUSH THIS COOLER AIR WELL INTO CENTRAL NC...
ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT HAPPEN UNTIL LATE SUN NIGHT INTO MON MORNING.
WILL FOLLOW THIS TREND WITH TEMPS HOLDING ABOVE NORMAL SAT/SUN (BUT
NOT AS WARM IN THE NORTH SUN DUE TO MORE CLOUDS) WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID 80S TO NEAR 90... BUT THEN EXPECT TEMPS TO PLUNGE FOR MON/TUE
WITH THICKNESSES DROPPING TO 10-20 M BELOW NORMAL... YIELDING HIGHS
NEAR 80 TO LOWER 80S. REGARDING PRECIP CHANCES... WE'RE LIKELY TO
SEE SCATTERED TO PERHAPS NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE SAT
THROUGH AT LEAST SUN NIGHT... BOTH ALONG THE PREFRONTAL PIEDMONT
TROUGH AND AHEAD OF AND WITH THE FRONT ITSELF. SHOWER/STORM CHANCES
ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK SUN AFTERNOON. WITH THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS
SWINGING THROUGH THE REGION MON... WE MAY SEE LINGERING CHANCES FOR
RAIN ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST. THE SURFACE RIDGE NOSING IN FROM THE
NORTH LATE MON INTO TUE ACCOMPANIED BY LOWERING PW VALUES SHOULD
MEAN MOSTLY DRY WEATHER TUE... AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS LIFTS NE
AWAY FROM THE REGION FOLLOWED BY WEAK MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE RIDGING
OVER THE CAROLINAS. -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 110 PM TUESDAY...

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PERSIST ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH THIS
EVENING. THERE WILL BE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT WITH BRIEF INSTANCES OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN VICINITY OF
THE STORMS ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS 25-40KTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

A FEW STORMS MAY PERSIST PAST MIDNIGHT AS A SURFACE FRONT SETTLES
SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL NC. THIS SAME FEATURE MAY POOL MOISTURE LONG
IT...CAUSING AREAS OF FOG AND/OR LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP. THIS ADVERSE
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SPOTTY WITH THE KRWI AND KFAY
TERMINALS HAVING THE BEST CHANCE OF EXPERIENCING SUB-VFR CONDITIONS
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE MORE PROMINENT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON-
EVENING...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES INCLUDING IN VICINITY
OF THE KFAY TERMINAL. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED

TYPICAL SUMMERTIME WEATHER CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED THURSDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY WITH AREAS OF EARLY MORNING FOG AND LOW CLOUDS GIVING WAY
TO VFR CONDITIONS ASIDE FROM SUB-VFR CONDITIONS IN VICINITY OF
SCATTERED AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING CONVECTION. ON SUNDAY...A FRONT
WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE NW. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL LIKELY
ENHANCE THE PROBABILITY OF CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL NC.
