AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
300 PM EDT TUE APR 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS... A STRONG AND SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE
CENTRAL PORTION OF THE US WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO CENTRAL NC
UNTIL EARLY THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH
THE REGION THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. DRIER WEATHER IS
EXPECTED HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1005 AM TUESDAY...

COOL STABLE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLED BACK ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL NC
OVERNIGHT..WITH THE WEDGE FRONT NOW JUST SOUTH OF THE NC/SC BORDER
THIS MORNING.  HOWEVER...JUST SOUTH OF THE FRONT...INSTABILITY IOS
DEVELOPING RATHER QUICKLY WITH A SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY ONSHORE FLOW
AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S. THE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
FRONT RANGES FROM UPPER 50S IN THE SANDHILLS TO MID/UPPER 70S IN
NORTHEAST SC.  ALOFT...THE SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO ROTATE
OVER THE MIDWEST...WITH JET ENERGY ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH
AND A 75+ KT JET AT 500MB NOSING TOWARD THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.
BULK SHEAR WILL RANGE FROM 40-45KT ACROSS OUR AREA TODAY...STRONGER
IN THE WEST.  THE BIGGEST FORECAST QUESTION IS HOW QUICKLY THE WEDGE
FRONT WILL RETREAT. HI-RES MODELS ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING TO
INITIALIZE AND PROJECT THE EROSION OF THE WEDGE IN THE FIRST FEW
HOURS...SO ITS HARD TO PUT A LOT OF STAKE IN THE THE EXACT AMOUNT OF
CAPE THAT WILL DEVELOP BY THIS AFTERNOON.  RIGHT NOW...IT APPEARS AS
MUCH AS 1000-15000 J/KG COULD DEVELOP FROM ROUGHLY ROCKINGHAM TO
JUST EAST OF THE TRIANGLE TO AROUND WILSON OR GOLDSBORO.  THIS
DESTABILIZATION COMBINED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WEAK DISTURBANCE
IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THAT ORIGINATED FROM CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL
GA LAST NIGHT AND FRONTAL CONVERGENCE SHOULD BE THE MAIN TRIGGERS
FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS BY 18-19Z.  THE AFOREMENTIONED SHEAR
WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS THAT MAY EVOLVE INTO A CLUSTER OF STORMS
WITH EASTWARD EXTENT...WITH THE THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE
HAIL...AND A NOTABLE TORNADO THREAT ALONG THE RETREATING...STRONG
FRONTAL ZONE.  AGAIN...THE SEVERE THREAT IS SOMEWHAT OF A MOVING
TARGET DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN WHERE THE FRONT WILL BE ONCE STORMS
TRIGGER...AND THE THREAT COULD QUITE POSSIBLE EXTEND FURTHER NORTH
AND WEST INTO THE TRIANGLE AREA.  IT APPEARS THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT
WILL REMAIN TOO FAR INTO THE STABLE AIRMASS FOR MUCH OF THE DAYTIME
HOURS FOR A WIND THREAT...BUT ELEVATED SUPERCELLS MAY BE POSSIBLE
THERE AS WELL.

HIGHS TODAY WILL VARY DRAMATICALLY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.  IT
IS POSSIBLE THAT TRIAD REMAINS IN THE 50S TODAY...WHILE SOUTHERN
AREAS REACH THE 80 MARK.  HAVE USED SOME GLAMP DATA ALONG WITH THE
LOCAL WRF ARW TO TRY TO CAPTURE THE GRADIENT.

THE SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL PRIME THE PUMP FOR THE
THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CROSS CENTRAL NC LATE TONIGHT. DUE
TO THE DEEP SW FLOW IN THE MID-UPPER LEVELS...SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY
CROSS REPEATEDLY ACROSS THE SAME LOCATION...INCREASING THE RISK FOR
HEAVY/EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING. THIS THREAT APPEARS
GREATEST OVER THE WESTERN-SOUTHERN PIEDMONT OVERNIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. PLAN NO CHANGES/ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT....THE APPROACH OF A STRONGER S/W
ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST WILL LIKELY
TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON-
EVENING. THIS S/W APPEARS STRONGER COMPARED TO TODAY'S AND THIS IS
REFLECTED IN THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASING TO AROUND 50KTS BY LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...APPEARS THAT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL HAVE A
CHANCE TO DESTABILIZE ONCE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION PETERS OUT. MODEL
GUIDANCE SUGGEST SBCAPE VALUES SOLIDLY BETWEEN 2500-3500 J/KG AND
MLCAPE IN THE IMPRESSIVE 1500-2200 J/KG RANGE. PRESENCE OF LOW LEVEL
JET RESULTS IN NICELY CURVED HODOGRAPHS IN THE 0-3KM LAYER WITH LOW
LEVEL HELICITY 240-320 M2/S2. THUS...APPEARS TO BE A GREATER THREAT
FOR TORNADOES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON-EVENING AREAWIDE ALONG WITH LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL DIMINISH LATE
WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE LOW LEVEL JET
LIFTS NWD. HOWEVER WILL STILL SEE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
A FEW STORMS OCCUR WELL INTO THE NIGHT...ESPECIALLY EAST OF HIGHWAY
1 AFTER 06Z THURSDAY.

&&

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

FOR THU/THU NIGHT... A PREFRONTAL TROUGH WILL HAVE SHIFTED EASTWARD
INTO THE COASTAL AREAS OF NC BY THU MORNING... WITH THE PRIMARY COLD
FRONT TRACKING SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH THE CWA. FAST AND BROADLY
CYCLONIC SW MID LEVEL FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER NC... AROUND THE CLOSED
VORTEX OVER THE GREAT LAKES SHIFTING NORTHWARD... AND DEEP MOISTURE
IS LIKELY TO REMAIN IN PLACE FROM ROUGHLY HIGHWAY 1 EAST EARLY IN
THE DAY. THIS WILL MEAN A LINGERING THREAT OF SHOWERS HERE TO START
THE DAY... TRENDING GRADUALLY OUT OF THE AREA FROM WNW TO ESE
THROUGH THE DAY AS MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIDING NE OVER THE
GREAT LAKES HELPS PUSH THE SURFACE FRONT TO OUR SE BY THU EVENING...
WITH A SUBSEQUENT SLOW CLEARING OF CLOUDS ALSO FROM WNW TO ESE AS
COOLER AND MORE STABLE AIR WORKS IN VIA A NOSE OF HIGH PRESSURE
STRETCHING FROM TX TO THE NE. HIGHS 75-81. LOWS FROM 49 NW TO 57
EAST.

FOR FRI/FRI NIGHT: THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS TO OUR WEST WILL EASE
EASTWARD THROUGH FRI NIGHT... AND THE ENSUING SHIFT OF MID LEVEL
WINDS FROM SW TO A MORE WESTERLY DIRECTION WILL ALLOW FOR SLOWLY
DECREASING MOISTURE DEPTH AND ARRIVAL OF DRIER AIR THROUGH THE
COLUMN FROM WEST TO EAST. THE PASSAGE OVERHEAD OF WEAK LOW-MID LEVEL
ENERGY TRACKING NORTHEASTWARD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE APPROACHING
TROUGH SHOULD BRING A SHOT OF GREATER CLOUD COVER ACROSS CENTRAL/ERN
NC DURING FRI AFTERNOON. THE GFS/NAM GENERATE SOME LIGHT PRECIP WITH
THESE PERTURBATIONS OVER THE ERN CWA... BUT DON'T EXPECT THIS TO
AMOUNT TO MUCH GIVEN THE ENCROACHMENT OF DRIER AIR ESPECIALLY IN THE
LOWER LEVELS. WILL LEAVE IN JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE
SE HALF FRI. EXPECT FAIR SKIES FRI NIGHT AS THE TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS
OVERHEAD LATE. BELOW NORMAL THICKNESSES WILL TRANSLATE TO SLIGHTLY
COOL HIGHS OF 68-72 FRI. LOWS 47-52. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...

DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN ON SATURDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH
AT LEAST SUNDAY. A NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
MAY SEND PROVIDE THE AREA WITH SOME SHOWERS AND/OR STORMS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY. HOWEVER... CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING AND
STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM IS LOW RIGHT NOW AND WILL ACCORDINGLY LEAVE
THE FORECAST DRY AND SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH NEAR
NORMAL TEMPS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1255 PM TUESDAY...

SEVERAL AVIATION CHALLENGES EXIST OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HRS. FIRST...
A FRONTAL ZONE SITS ACROSS SRN NC. NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY...
IFR/MVFR VSBYS WITH LIFR CIGS PERSIST AT INT/GSO/RDU... WHERE A
STABLE AIR MASS AND COOL ENE SURFACE FLOW PERSISTS. THESE CONDITIONS
ARE STARTING TO BREAK AT RWI WHERE VSBYS ARE NOW VFR WITH IFR CIGS.
AND AT FAY... WHICH IS JUST SOUTH OF THE FRONT... MUCH WARMER AND
MORE HUMID AIR RESIDES WITH VFR CONDITIONS. THE WARM FRONTAL ZONE IS
EXPECTED TO SHIFT VERY SLOWLY NORTHWARD... AND WE'LL SEE SURFACE
WINDS AT FAY SHIFT RAPIDLY AROUND TO SOUTHERLY AND STRENGTHEN LATER
THIS AFTERNOON... WHILE THIS WIND SHIFT FROM A LIGHT EASTERLY WIND
TO STRONGER SOUTHERLY WIND WILL OCCUR LATER AT RWI/RDU/GSO/INT THIS
EVENING (IN THAT ORDER). SCATTERED STORMS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT FAY
BY MID AFTERNOON. RWI/RDU/GSO/INT SHOULD ALSO SEE SOME STORMS
STARTING LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT... ALTHOUGH TIMING IS
HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AND THAT PRECLUDES MENTIONING A PREVAILING OR TEMPO
MENTION OF THUNDER AT THIS TIME AT THESE TERMINALS. CIGS ARE
EXPECTED TO SLOWLY RISE TO MVFR AT THESE NORTHERN SITES THROUGH THIS
EVENING... FIRST AT RDU/RWI THEN LASTLY AT GSO/INT WHERE THE STABLE
AIR WILL HOLD ON THE LONGEST. MVFR TO VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE SHORT
LIVED AS IFR/LIFR STRATUS IS EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP TONIGHT...
HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS VERY LOW... GIVEN THAT IF THERE ARE
ONGOING SHOWERS/STORMS TONIGHT... CIGS MAY GET NO WORSE THAN MVFR.
LLWS CRITERIA ARE UNLIKELY TO BE MET... HOWEVER WINDS WILL BE
SHIFTING (FROM SSE OR S TO SSW) AND INCREASING WITH HEIGHT... MOST
DRAMATICALLY TONIGHT INTO WED... WITH 35-40 KT WINDS FROM THE SW
AROUND 2 KFT AGL. ANY SUB-VFR CIGS OVERNIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO TREND
UP TOWARD VFR TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF VALID PERIOD.

LOOKING BEYOND 18Z WED... NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STRONG STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WED AFTERNOON... HOWEVER DETAILS IN LOCATION AND
TIMING ARE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME. SUSTAINED STRONG/GUSTY WINDS ARE
LIKELY THROUGH WED EVENING... ALONG WITH POTENTIAL MVFR CONDITIONS
IN SHOWERS/STORMS. AS A COLD FRONT SHIFTS SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH
CENTRAL NC... CONDITIONS WILL TREND TO VFR AT INT/GSO 12Z-14Z THU...
AT RDU 14Z-16Z... AND AT FAY/RWI 16Z-18Z... WITH SURFACE WINDS
SHIFTING TO WSW THEN WNW THROUGH THU AFTERNOON/NIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS
LIKELY TO HOLD THROUGH SUNDAY. -GIH
