AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
256 PM EDT TUE MAY 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A SEASONABLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL PREVAIL
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA ON THURSDAY...THEN STALL
SOUTH OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHEAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM TUESDAY...

THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO SHOW A SURFACE TROUGH OVER
THE CAROLINAS AND VIRGINIA. SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE MOVED INTO THE
TRIAD AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THIS EVENING AS A
DISTURBANCE TRAVERSES THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE. PWAT VALUES IN THE 1.50-1.75 INCH RANGE THIS AFTERNOON COULD
RESULT IN SOME HEAVY RAIN WITH THE SHOWERS AND STORMS AS THEY MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA. INSTABILITY IS GREATEST IN THE SANDHILLS AND
COASTAL PLAIN...WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES...BUT WEAK MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES. SHEAR IS RELATIVELY WEAK...AND THE BEST UPPER
LEVEL FORCING WILL LIKELY MOVE OVER THE AREA AFTER SUNSET...THUS DO
NOT EXPECT ANY WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT AN
ISOLATED STRONG WIND GUST OR DOWNBURST. HEAVY RAIN WILL LIKELY BE
THE BIGGEST THREAT GIVEN THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE. ANY SHOWERS AND
STORMS THAT DEVELOP SHOULD WANE AFTER SUNSET AS NOCTURNAL
STABILIZATION SETS UP. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S
EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM TUESDAY...

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BREAK
DOWN AS THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OK/TX MOVES EASTWARD. AS A
RESULT...WINDS ALOFT WILL BECOME MORE WEST/NORTHWESTERLY AS THE
TROUGH TO THE NORTH MOVES THROUGH. THE INSTABILITY...SHEAR...AND
LAPSE RATES WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY...WITH THE MOST FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTH AND EAST. WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
SHOULD HELP GET SHOWERS AND STORMS FIRING IN THE AFT/EVE...BUT GIVEN
THE WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND RELATIVELY WEAK SHEAR...DO NOT
EXPECT SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP AT THIS TIME. WILL CONTINUE TO
FORECAST SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGHS WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY...MAYBE A DEGREE OR
TWO WARMER...UPPER 80S NW TO LOW 90S SE AND OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE AGAIN
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL
SLOWLY SLIP SOUTH TOWARD CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT SHOULD
LARGELY STAY NORTH OF THE AREA. -KCP

THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...A BACK DOOR FRONT WILL DRIFT SOUTHWARD
THROUGH CENTRAL NC ON THURSDAY...AND THEN LIKELY STALL JUST SOUTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER THURSDAY NIGHT. PWAT VALUES
ARE PROGGED TO RANGE BETWEEN 1.5-1.75 INCHES AND GIVEN THE WEAK
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT...AM STILL EXPECTING GOOD PRECIP
COVERAGE AND WILL GO AHEAD AND INCREASE POPS TO LIKELY (ESPECIALLY
DURING THE PEAK HEATING TIME FRAME). WITH REGARDS TO ANY SEVERE
THREAT...DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS PROGGED TO BE WEAK (ON THE ORDER OF 10-
20 KNOTS) AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN LIMITED STORM ORGANIZATION.
HOWEVER...CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE
STORM...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
DURING PEAK HEATING AS MODELS PROG MODERATE DESTABILIZATION (MLCAPE
1000-1500 J/KG). PRECIP MAY LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE
FRONT WILL STILL BE IN THE AREA AND WITHIN A MOIST AIRMASS. GIVEN
THE CLOUDS AND EXPECTED PRECIP...TEMPS SHOULD BE A GOOD 10 (MAYBE
15) DEGREES LOWER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...GENERALLY RANGING FROM THE
UPPER 70S ACROSS THE NORTHEAST TO UPPER 80S FURTHER TO THE
SOUTHWEST. -KRD

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM TUESDAY...

THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT WILL LINGER NEAR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY...BEFORE BEING PUSHED EVEN FURTHER SOUTH
BY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING DOWN OUT OF THE NORTHEAST. THEREFORE...FOR
FRIDAY...A DECENT CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA
(HIGHEST ACROSS THE SOUTH IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT AND BEST
DESTABILIZATION). TEMPS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER
80S. THEN...FAIRLY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DOWN THE EAST
COAST OVER THE WEEKEND...PUSHING THE BOUNDARY EVEN FURTHER SOUTH.
THIS WILL VIRTUALLY BRING AN END TO OUR PRECIP CHANCES AS STABLE
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW DOMINATES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN DOMINATE
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...SHIFTING OFFSHORE BY TUESDAY...THEREFORE
KEEPING THE AREA MOSTLY DRY...WITH MAYBE SOME DIURNAL TYPE PRECIP
RETURNING FOR THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS MOISTURE INCREASES
IN THE INCREASING RETURN FLOW. TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
FOR THE WEEKEND...BEFORE GRADUALLY MODERATING NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

24 HOUR TAF PERIOD: VFR CU/TCU WITH BASES AT 3500-6000 FT AGL ARE
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON IN ASSOCIATION WITH A MOIST AND DIURNALLY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS...ALONG WITH A POTENTIAL FOR ISOLD TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS. A FEW SHOWERS HAVE MOVED INTO THE TRIAD...AND ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE PROPAGATING EASTWARD THROUGH THE AFT/EVE. BREEZY WESTERLY
TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE EVENING. SHOULD A
SHOWER/STORM MOVE OVER A TERMINAL...CEILINGS COULD DECREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY AND WINDS MAY BECOME INCREASINGLY GUSTY. -KC

LOOKING AHEAD: EXPECT AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR MVFR/IFR CEILINGS
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS (08-14Z) AND AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR
ISOLD TO SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES...ESPECIALLY DURING THE LATTER
PART OF THE WEEK (THU/FRI). MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE
WEEKEND...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW ISOLATED AREAS OF MVFR
CONDITIONS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. -VINCENT/KC
