AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
125 PM EDT THU MAY 15 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG AND SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL TRACK EASTWARD
ACROSS THE REGION TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WEAK BUT COOL HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 1029 AM THURSDAY...

PRIMARY CONCERNS REMAIN HEAVY RAIN TOTALS WITH TRAINING CONVECTION
AS WELL AS A RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES.

DEEP TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL US MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD. EMBEDDED
WAVE ON WV IMAGERY EXITING NORTHERN GA MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
ENHANCEMENT TO ACTIVITY INTO THE AFTERNOON AS IT MOVES NNW ACROSS
THE AREA. COLD FRONT IS NEAR THE TN/NC BORDER... AND PW NEAR 2" ARE
MOVING INTO THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF IT IN DEEP SOUTH TO
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW. GIVEN THE MEAN FLOW NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE
FRONT... SLOW PROGRESSION AND TRAINING OF STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING... MAINLY FOR URBAN AREAS.
LIMITING FACTORS FOR SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE PIEDMONT CONTINUE TO BE
LACK OF INSTABILITY AND WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES... THOUGH
SUNSHINE THIS MORNING OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN HAS ALLOWED SBCAPE TO
PUSH NEAR 1000 J/KG. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
A SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER THE CAROLINAS THIS AFTERNOON...
WHICH WILL SUPPORT THE RISK OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO.

CURRENT TEMPS IN THE MID 60S IN THE WEST WITH THE CLOUD COVER AND
RAIN/STORMS...  AND PUSHING 80 IN THE COASTAL PLAIN... THOUGH CLOUDS
ARE QUICKLY OVERSPREADING THE ENTIRE AREA. WILL ACCORDINGLY TRIM
HIGHS SLIGHTLY IN THE WEST TO LOW TO MID 70S AND KEEP WITH LOW 80S
IN THE EAST. -SEC

WILL TREND POPS OUT OF THE ERN CWA FRI MORNING AS THE FRONT SHIFTS
EASTWARD OUT OF THE CWA... BRINGING INCREASING SUNSHINE AND MAINLY
WEST WINDS... AS MODELS SHOW GRADUAL W-E CLEARING BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. THICKNESSES DROP A BIT BUT NOT DRAMATICALLY AS THE MID
LEVEL TROUGH AXIS IS STILL TO OUR WEST... SUPPORTING TEMPS JUST
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

HIGH RANGE OF LOWS TODAY DUE TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE... AND WILL HAVE
LOWS TONIGHT RANGING FROM LOW-MID 50S WEST TO MID-UPPER 60S EAST.
HIGHS FRI 72-77. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM THURSDAY...

MOSTLY CLEAR AND COOL FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT AS
THICKNESSES APPROACH A RELATIVE MIN FOR THE PERIOD AT 1340M.
GUIDANCE MOSTLY INDICATES LOWS IN THE MID 40S WEST TO LOWER 50S
EAST.  HOWEVER...WITH CYCLONIC FLOW STILL IN PLACE ALOFT AND JET
ENERGY MOVING INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH....THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR CIRRUS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...WHICH COULD IMPACT LOWS SLIGHTLY
ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT.  WONT GO AS LOW AS THE COOLEST
GUIDANCE...47-53.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 125 PM THURSDAY...

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT: A SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS ON SATURDAY. MODELS
DEPICT A DECREASING TREND IN THE MOISTURE AS THE WAVE MOVES ACROSS
OUR CWA...SO FOR NOW WILL KEEP THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY DRY.
HOWEVER BY SUNDAY...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL CROSS OUR AREA LATER IN
THE DAY. THE MOISTURE WITH THIS ONE LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER AND
FARTHER NORTH...SO WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT CHANCE POP ACROSS OUR FAR
S/SE ZONES FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TEMPS WILL RUN A FEW
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL DURING THE WEEKEND UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
TROUGH AND ENHANCED CLOUD COVER ASSOC WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORT
WAVES. HIGHS IN THE MID-UPR 70S AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 50S.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A LONGWAVE RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...DEEP SOUTH...AND TN VALLEY. OUR AREA WILL
REMAIN UNDER NW FLOW ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS RIDGE. WHILE MOST OF
THIS PERIOD SHOULD BE DRY ACROSS OUR AREA WITH THE RIDGE BUILDING
EAST...WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH THE WEAK DISTURBANCES AND RESULTING
CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES THAT WILL LIKELY BE MOVING ACROSS THE TOP OF
THE RIDGE AND DOWN THE EAST SIDE.  ONE SUCH WAVE IS PROGGED TO MOVE
ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON WEDNESDAY...AND MAY BRING A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS ACROSS OUR N/NE ZONES.  TEMPS DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK WILL REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
GIVEN THE N/NW FLOW...BUT WILL WARM BACK TO OR ABOVE NORMAL BY
MIDWEEK AS THE SFC HIGH MOVES TO OUR S AND E AND THE MIDLEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS TOWARD THE CAROLINAS.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 705 AM WEDNESDAY...

MVFR CONDITIONS AT INT/GSO WILL SPREAD EASTWARD THIS MORNING... AND
AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY BUT STEADILY DETERIORATE WEST TO
EAST TODAY... DUE TO THE INCREASING LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW
BRINGING GREATER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA. SCATTERED
SHOWERS/STORMS WILL NEAR RDU/FAY NEAR OR SOON AFTER NOON BEFORE
BECOMING MORE STEADY MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS AND STORMS AFTER 19Z.
AT RWI... WHERE THE STEADY SHOWERS/STORMS WON'T ARRIVE UNTIL CLOSE
TO 21Z... MORNING VFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED... DROPPING BACK BELOW MVFR
AS PRECIP ARRIVES LATE TODAY. A FEW STORMS TODAY COULD BECOME
STRONG. EXPECT STRONG WINDS MOSTLY FROM THE SOUTH OR SSE SUSTAINED
AT 13-18 KTS GUSTING AS HIGH AS 20-25 KTS FOR MUCH OF TODAY AT ALL
SITES. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH INT/GSO LATE IN THE TAF
FORECAST (BETWEEN 03Z AND 06Z) AND AT RDU (08Z-11Z)... WITH AN END
TO THE HEAVY PRECIP AND ABRUPT WIND SHIFT TO WEST (ALTHOUGH STRONG
WINDS FROM THE SOUTH OR SW WILL PERSIST ABOVE 4 000 FT)... AND
RISING CIGS TO VFR.

LOOKING BEYOND 12Z FRI MORNING... ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS
(MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS) WILL PERSIST UNTIL FRONTAL PASSAGE... MOST
LIKELY TO OCCUR AT FAY NEAR 12Z... AND AT RWI NEAR 14Z. THESE WILL
BE FOLLOWED BY IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH CIGS/VSBYS JUMPING UP TO
VFR AND SURFACE WINDS BECOMING FROM THE WEST OR NW BEHIND THE FRONT.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY FROM FRI AFTERNOON THROUGH MON... AS WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA... ALTHOUGH PASSING DISTURBANCES
ALOFT WILL BRING PERIODS OF VFR CLOUDS OVER THE WEEKEND. -GIH
