AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
340 PM EDT THU JUN 5 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY PUSH SOUTHWARD THROUGH
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THIS EVENING BEFORE STALLING OUT SOUTH
OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM THURSDAY...

OVERVIEW: A COLD FRONT EXTENDING WEST-EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN VIRGINIA
WILL GRADUALLY SINK SOUTHWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NC THIS EVENING INTO
TONIGHT IN ASSOC/W HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE OH VALLEY AND MID-
ATLANTIC. NW FLOW ALOFT (AND A POTENTIAL FOR SMALL AMPLITUDE
DISTURBANCES) WILL PERSIST OVER THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT.

CONVECTION: CHALLENGING FCST. LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH
A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH ORIENTED SW-NE FROM MEB-RWI-ECG (ROUGHLY) AT
18Z HAS SERVED AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE I-95
CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON WHERE STRONG INSOLATION AND SEASONABLE
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE (SFC DEWPOINTS ~70F) HAVE YIELDED MODERATE
INSTABILITY (1500 J/KG MLCAPE) AND LITTLE OR NO CIN. FURTHER WEST...
A DRIER BOUNDARY LAYER ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
HAS LIMITED DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION TO 500-1000 J/KG...WITH LITTLE
DEVELOPMENT ASIDE FROM A FEW ISOLD SHOWERS AS OF 18Z. GIVEN NO
OBVIOUS LOW-LEVEL FORCING IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT...IT IS PRESUMED
THAT SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL FORCING (I.E. DPVA AND DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT)
HAS ALLOWED ISOLD CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
THAT THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH MAY SHIFT WESTWARD AND THAT A WEAK WAVE
OF LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP ALONG IT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AS THE FRONT /BAROCLINIC ZONE/ APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH IN THE
PRESENCE OF SMALL AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCES TRAVERSING THE REGION IN NW
FLOW ALOFT. WITH THE ABOVE IN MIND...EXPECT ONGOING ACTIVITY IN THE
COASTAL PLAIN TO GRADUALLY WANE IN INTENSITY THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO
CONVECTIVE OVERTURNING...THOUGH SHOWERS AND ISOLD STORMS MAY PERSIST
IN VICINITY OF THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR. ISOLD
CONVECTION IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON IN ASSOC/W SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL FORCING AND A RELATIVELY
UNTAPPED AIRMASS. AFTER 6 PM...THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR MORE
NUMEROUS ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP IN VICINITY OF THE TRIANGLE AND
SANDHILLS THIS EVENING DUE TO STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE...
SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL FORCING...AND A RELATIVELY UNTAPPED AIRMASS WITH
~1000 J/KG MLCAPE. CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE
AND END FROM NORTH-SOUTH OR NW-SE LATE THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT AS
THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES INCREASINGLY STABLE IN ASSOC/W THE ADVECTION
OF A COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH AND LOSS OF
INSOLATION.

TEMPERATURES: HIGHS TODAY WILL TOP OUT IN THE LOWER 90S IN THE FAR
S/SE...AND THE MID/UPPER 80S IN THE FAR NORTH. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE
DICTATED BY SEVERAL FACTORS INCLUDING ADVECTION...CONVECTION...AND
CLOUD COVER. AS A RESULT...SOME UNCERTAINTY PERSISTS. BASED ON THE
LATEST GUIDANCE AND OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS...WILL INDICATE LOWS
RANGING FROM THE LOWER 60S NORTH TO MID/UPPER 60S SOUTH.

SEVERE POTENTIAL: MODERATE INSTABILITY IN THE COASTAL PLAIN ALONG
AND EAST OF I-95 WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF ROBUST UPDRAFTS THIS
AFTERNOON...AND RELATIVELY HIGH DCAPE ~1000 J/KG WOULD SUPPORT
STRONG SUB-CLOUD LAYER EVAP COOLING AND AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR
DOWNBURSTS. HOWEVER...CONVECTION IN THE WFO RAH CWA HAS THUS FAR
BEEN SUB-SEVERE...WITH THE BEST CELLS LOCATED IN EASTERN NC WHERE
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ARE STRONGER. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE
SEVERE POTENTIAL HAS BEEN LIMITED DUE TO RELATIVELY WEAK DEEP LAYER
SHEAR (20-25 KT)...WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND THE PRESENCE OF
NUMEROUS UPDRAFTS /OUTFLOW/ IN VICINITY OF THE CONVERGENCE ZONE
ALONG I-95. WITH THE ABOVE IN MIND...FEEL THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LIMITED TO BRIEF/ISOLD DOWNBURSTS...PRIMARILY
DUE TO STRONG DCAPE. SUCH DOWNBURSTS COULD OCCUR WITH VIRTUALLY ANY
CORE AT OR ABOVE 30 KFT AND WARNING CRITERIA WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED
TO THE DEEPEST AND MOST IMPRESSIVE CORES IN ORDER TO AVOID FALSE
ALARMING RELATIVELY LARGE AREAS FOR VERY BRIEF/ISOLATED DOWNBURST
POTENTIAL. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 215 PM THURSDAY...

A MODESTLY DRIER AND COOLER AIRMASS SETTLES SOUTH FRIDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND THE FRONT. THE PERSISTENT UPPER RIDGE
ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH WILL CONTINUE TO GUIDE DISTURBANCES EAST
SOUTHEAST...BUT THE TRAJECTORY WILL BE DIRECTED MORE SOUTH OF THE
AREA...TOWARDS SOUTH CAROLINA. IN ADDITION...THE LESS STABLE AIRMASS
WILL SUPPRESS CONVECTION OVER ALL BUT THE FAR SOUTHERN TIER OF
COUNTIES DURING MAX HEATING...WITH SUBSEQUENT WANING WITH LOSS OF
INSOLATION FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE THROUGH
THE EVENING. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR SEASONABLE...MID 80S...WITH LOWS
FRIDAY NIGHT MOSTLY IN THE MID 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM THURSDAY...

FRONT REMAINS STALLED SOUTH OF THE AREA WITH HIGH PRESSURE MIGRATING
OFF THE DELMARVA COAST PRODUCING EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW ON
SATURDAY. THIS WILL PROMOTE POOLING OF THE GRADUALLY INCREASING
MOISTURE IN THE WEST. MEANWHILE...MID LEVEL FLOW REMAINS GENERALLY
EAST NORTHEAST WITH WEAK RIDGING ALOFT TO FURTHER HINDER CONVECTION.
WILL MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION IN THE FAR WEST WITH
PERSISTENCE HIGHS IN THE MID 80S. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE
MID 60S. CONTINUED RETURN FLOW AND DEEPER MOISTURE ADVECTION ON
SUNDAY RAISES PRECIPITABLE WATER TO 1.5 INCHES...A BETTER
ENVIRONMENT FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION IN LIGHT OF RATHER UNFAVORABLE
WEAK WESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW. INITIAL COVERAGE WILL REMAIN HIGHER IN
THE WEST WITH GRADUALLY INCREASING CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL
BE A BIT WARMER IN RETURN FLOW...MID 80S ACROSS THE NORTH TO UPPER
80S SOUTH...WITH SUNDAY NIGHT LOWS IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S.

THE MID LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO AMPLIFY OFFSHORE AS A CUTOFF LOW MOVES
SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE MID-PLAINS. THIS WILL PRODUCE A BIT OF A
WARMING TREND EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HEIGHTS INCREASE. THE MOIST AIRMASS
ALREADY IN PLACE AND A MORE EAST SOUTHEASTERLY MID LEVEL STEERING
FLOW WILL BE MORE CONDUCIVE TO DIURNAL CONVECTION MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AS AFTERNOON HIGHS REACH UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. WILL HAVE
CHANCE POPS IN THE 40 PERCENT RANGE EACH DAY WITH LULLS OVERNIGHT.
MINS WILL BE PRETTY MUCH PERSISTENCE...MID 60S...EACH NIGHT. THE
CUTOFF LOW OVER THE PLAINS WILL BE LIFTING NORTH INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY ON THURSDAY...WITH RESIDUAL LOW CHANCE POPS IN THE PM...HIGHS
THURSDAY WILL AGAIN BE IN THE MID-UPPER 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM THURSDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD: VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD
ASIDE FROM SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. RDU/FAY/RWI ARE THE TERMINALS MOST LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED BY
CONVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING. BRIEF/ISOLATED 30-40 KT DOWNBURSTS
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS GIVEN A
THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG EVAP COOLING/PRECIP
LOADING. WESTERLY WINDS AT 5-10 KT THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME
NORTHERLY AT 5 KT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE COLD FRONT SINKING
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT...EARLIEST AT INT/GSO AND
LATEST AT FAY.

LOOKING AHEAD: A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
THE FAY TERMINAL ON FRIDAY...IN CLOSER VICINITY TO THE FRONT WHICH
IS EXPECTED TO STALL OUT IN SOUTH CAROLINA. OTHERWISE...EXPECT A
CLIMATOLOGICAL FORECAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH VFR CONDITIONS
PREVAILING OUTSIDE OF A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. -VINCENT
