Special Weather Statement, NWS Raleigh, NC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
744 PM EDT FRI JUN 20 2014

.SYNOPSIS... WITH A WARM AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS IN PLACE... A SERIES
OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL TRACK SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION
THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST
THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM FRIDAY...

THROUGH TONIGHT: SUSPECT WE'LL HAVE AT LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTION TO
WORRY ABOUT ALL THROUGH TONIGHT... HOWEVER THE COVERAGE OF ANY
SHOWERS AND STORMS IS STRONGLY IN QUESTION. A WEAK SURFACE FRONTAL
ZONE NOW STRETCHES ACROSS NE NC... WITH A MORE SUBSTANTIAL FRONT TO
THE NORTH OVER NRN VA (SEPARATING DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S NORTH OF IT
FROM THE 60S/70S TO ITS SOUTH). THIS STRONGER FRONT EXTENDS
NORTHWEST THROUGH THE CHICAGO VICINITY... AND LOW PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT WITH A SLOW
STRENGTHENING TREND TONIGHT... ENDING UP IN FAR NRN WV PRIOR TO
DAYBREAK. SCATTERED STORMS HAVE POPPED UP PRIMARILY ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN INTO THE WRN PIEDMONT... WITH ANOTHER CLUSTER OVER
THE SRN SANDHILLS WHERE SURFACE TEMPS ARE WARMEST YIELDING THE
GREATEST LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THE FORECAST WILL REFLECT THIS
CONVECTION PROGRESSING WITH THE LIGHT STEERING FLOW GENERALLY TO THE
SOUTHEAST (ALTHOUGH WITH SUCH A WEAK WIND FIELD WE'LL CONTINUE TO
SEE NEW DEVELOPMENT ON THE EDGE OF ERRATICALLY MOVING COLD POOLS...
SO MOVEMENT MAY APPEAR HAPHAZARD)... EVENTUALLY AFFECTING ALL OF
CENTRAL NC WITH SCATTERED STORMS TAPERING OFF NEAR OR SOON AFTER
MIDNIGHT. DOWNDRAFT CAPE REMAINS MARGINAL BUT SHOULD CONTINUE TO
RISE... MEANING A CONTINUED BUT MINOR THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS WITH
ANY STORM. WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD MAKE LARGE HAIL A
LESSER THREAT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL RISE A TAD BUT REMAIN
UNIMPRESSIVE... JUST 20-25 KTS OVER THE NRN/ERN CWA... SO STORMS
WILL REMAIN DISORGANIZED. ATTENTION THEN TURNS LATER TONIGHT TO A
MID LEVEL MCV... LIKELY EMANATING FROM LAST NIGHT'S CONVECTION OVER
THE MIDWEST... WHICH HAS SPAWNED CONVECTION UPSTREAM OVER THE OH
VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. AS THIS ACTIVITY (OR ITS REMNANTS) TRACKS ESE
OVER THE NEXT 12-15 HOURS... IT SHOULD CROSS VA AND FAR NE NC... AND
THE LATEST HIGH-RES WRF-NMM AND WRF-ARW TAKE A MORE SOLID AREA OF
STORMS ACROSS THE EXTREME NORTH AND NE CWA LATE TONIGHT... A
SCENARIO MIRRORED BY THE SREF MEAN. DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT
SHOULD REMAIN SMALL BUT BE IMPROVING OVERNIGHT AS AN UPPER JETLET
STREAKS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE NORTHEAST/MIDATLANTIC WITH
STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL WINDS TO 30-40 KTS ALONG OUR NRN BORDER.
WILL BRING IN A SECONDARY MAX OF CHANCE POPS IN THE NE LATE
TONIGHT... WITH JUST ISOLATED CHANCES ELSEWHERE. LOWS 68-73.

FOR SAT/SAT NIGHT: NOCTURNAL CONVECTION IN THE NORTHEAST CWA SHOULD
BE EXITING THE CWA NEAR OR SOON AFTER DAYBREAK... FOLLOWED BY A
PERIOD OF RELATIVE SUBSIDENCE THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING...
AGAIN FOLLOWING THE TRENDS OF THE HIGH-RES WRF-NMM AND WRF-ARW.
THEN... THE PRESENCE OF THE OLD MCV ACROSS SRN AND ERN NC ALONG WITH
GOOD HEATING THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY SHOULD HELP FUEL
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS. WE COULD SEE A COMBINATION
OF MOUNTAIN CONVECTION PUSHING TO THE ESE THROUGH CENTRAL NC DURING
THE AFTERNOON... IN ADDITION TO STORMS FORMING OVER THE ERN
PIEDMONT/SANDHILLS/COASTAL PLAIN WHERE DEWPOINTS SHOULD BE HIGHEST
WITH THE LONGEST PERIOD OF HEATING... AND ALONG AND AHEAD OF A
SURFACE LOW OVER CENTRAL NC. HIGHER TEMPS/DEWPOINTS HERE WILL
POTENTIALLY PUSH MUCAPE UP TO 1500-2500 J/KG... ALBEIT WITH
CONTINUED WEAK DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF JUST AROUND 20 KTS. PW VALUES IN
THE EAST ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO PEAK OVER 2 INCHES BY LATE IN THE
DAY... FAVORING GOOD STORM COVERAGE AND POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN WITH
SLOW MOVING CELLS. THIS ALL BOILS DOWN TO HIGH PRECIP CHANCES (60-
70%) OVER ALL OF CENTRAL NC SAT AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. COOL
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WELL TO OUR NNW WILL PUSH THE LOW AND FRONT TO
OUR SE SAT NIGHT... CAUSING A WIND SHIFT TO NORTH THEN NE LATE...
BRINGING AN END TO PRECIP CHANCES FROM NW TO SE. WE SHOULD SEE
FORMATION OF LOW CLOUDS POST-FRONT OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA
WITHIN THE NNE FLOW. HIGHS 85-94 FROM NNE TO SW. LOWS 65 NORTH TO 72
SOUTH. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM FRIDAY...

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING OFFSHORE TO BEGIN THE DAY ON
SUNDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY BUILDING EAST AND DOWN THE
EAST COAST THROUGH MONDAY. THIS WILL PUSH A FRONT FURTHER SOUTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA...LIKELY INTO SC/GA. IN ADDITION...SHORTWAVE
RIDGING WILL ALSO BUILD EAST OVER THE REGION. THEREFORE...THIS TIME
FRAME OF ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD IS WHEN PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE THE
LOWEST... ALTHOUGH NON-ZERO. SUNDAY SHOULD BE THE DRIEST DAY (WITH
ONLY A FEW ISOLATED STORMS EXPECTED)...THEN MAYBE SOME HIGHER
CHANCES ACROSS THE WEST ON MONDAY AS THE HIGH STARTS TO PULL AWAY
AND MOISTURE BEGINS TO INCREASE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEPARTING
HIGH. TEMPS WILL BE A SEVERAL DEGREES LOWER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS BEHIND
THE FRONT...WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID/UPPER 80S TO NEAR
90 DEGREES AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70
DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM FRIDAY...

PRECIP CHANCES...MOSTLY DIURNAL IN NATURE...WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE
ON TUESDAY AND THEN PERSIST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS
MOISTURE INCREASES WITHIN THE RETURN FLOW THAT SETS UP ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING HIGH. IN ADDITION...FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME
SOUTHWESTERLY (THUS INCREASING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE) AS LARGE SCALE
TROUGHING MOVES OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND MS RIVER VALLEY.
ADDITIONALLY...TEMPS WILL CLIMB A FEW DEGREES...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY
IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 740 PM FRIDAY...

24 HOUR TAF PERIOD: CURRENTLY IN A LULL FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KRDU WHICH HAS CONVECTION
EXITING TO THE EAST AT THIS TIME. RADAR TRENDS SHOW ACTIVITY TO THE
NORTHWEST OF THE AREA THAT MAY BEGIN TO AFFECT TRIAD SITES OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL VCTS AT ALL TAF SITES
EXCEPT FOR KRWI AT THIS TIME WITH TEMPO FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND GUSTY
WINDS THROUGH 2Z. OVERNIGHT EXPECT LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS AT MOST
LOCATIONS WITH SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUDS AT 5KFT. SOME MVFR
VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE FROM 9-12Z AT KRDU AND KRWI. CONFIDENCE IN
THIS IS MODERATE AND THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THAT OTHER SITES COULD
EXPERIENCE MVFR CEILINGS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AS WELL BUT CONFIDENCE
IS LOW ENOUGH TO NOT INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. SHORT TERM
MODELS INDICATE THAT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE COULD BE GREATER TOMORROW
AFTERNOON THAT TODAY SO WILL COVER IN THE TAFS WITH A PROB30 GROUP
FOR THUNDER AFTER 20Z ALTHOUGH THE FIRST STORMS COULD BEGIN EARLIER
IN THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE MAINLY WESTERLY TOMORROW AFTERNOON
AT 5-10 KNOTS WITH SOME GUSTS OF 15-20 KNOTS POSSIBLE. SOME STORMS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON COULD BECOME SEVERE.

LONG TERM: THERE WILL BE SLIGHT CHANCES FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. CHANCES INCREASE
ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS WITH A GREATER THREAT FOR SUB-
VFR CONDITIONS. THERE WILL BE ALSO CHANCES FOR EARLY MORNING
FOG/STRATUS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS.
