AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
320 PM EDT FRI APR 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS..A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
CAROLINAS THIS EVENING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE
REGION TONIGHT AND PERSIST INTO SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL
PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 320 PM FRIDAY...

...TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NC THROUGH 900 PM
EDT...

CURRENTLY MANAGING MULTIPLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA WITH NUMEROUS REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL. SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AROUND NIGHTFALL. CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON IS
IN THE FORM OF DISCRETE CELLS AND CLUSTERS WITH PERSISTENT UPDRAFTS
WHICH COMBINED WITH FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 10KFT HAS RESULTED IN THE
NUMEROUS LARGE HAIL REPORTS. A MORE LINEAR CONVECTIVE FEATURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS LIKELY TO SWEEP ACROSS
CENTRAL NC BETWEEN 21 AND 01Z. THE CONVECTION MAY HAVE A DOWNWARD
TRAJECTORY IN INTENSITY TOWARD SUNSET AS THE SURFACE FLOW BECOMES
MORE SOUTHWESTERLY DECREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND POTENTIALLY
REDUCING INSTABILITY WITH A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MASS. AFTER A
CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE EARLY EVENING... CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE AFTER
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AS A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS PUSHES INTO THE
REGION. SKIES SHOULD BECOME CLEAR OVERNIGHT WITH A LIGHT BREEZE
STICKING AROUND FOR MOST OF THE EVENING. CURRENT FORECAST NOTES THAT
WINDS MAY DECOUPLE ACROSS THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST TOWARD DAYBREAK
SATURDAY AND LATEST NAM/GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS SUPPORT THIS. LOWS
TONIGHT SHOULD FALLING INTO THE MID 40S TO MID 50S.

SATURDAY SHOULD BRING FAIR WEATHER WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND NEAR TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. SUNSHINE WILL MIX WITH
PERIODS OF HIGH CLOUDS BUT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD DESCRIBE THIS
WELL. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE BETWEEN 78 AND 82 DEGREES. -BLAES

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM FRIDAY...

A DRY BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY AS AN UPPER LOW/TROUGH MOVES OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. THERE
HAS BEEN DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE MODELS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS WITH
REGARDS TO HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE
IT WILL AT LEAST COME INTO OUR NORTHERN AREAS BEFORE IT WASHES
OUT/RETREATS ON SUNDAY. THEN...HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO RISE ON SUNDAY
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EAST. THEREFORE...OVERALL THE WEATHER
SHOULD BE QUIET FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD...WITH TEMPS SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL (ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA...SOUTH OF THE DISSIPATING BOUNDARY).

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM FRIDAY...

AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PERIOD IS EXPECTED BEGINNING EARLY NEXT
WEEK...LIKELY PERSISTING INTO THE MIDDLE/LATE PART OF THE WEEK AS A
BLOCKING PATTERN SETS UP ACROSS THE CONUS. A STRONG SYSTEM/CUTOFF
LOW THAT WILL LIKELY BE A BIG SEVERE WEATHER MAKER FOR THE CENTRAL
CONUS OVER THE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK...WILL SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD.
THE OVERALL TREND HAS BEEN TO SLOW DOWN THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION
SOMEWHAT AS THE RIDGE HOLDS STRONG OVER THE EAST COAST. NOW THE BEST
CHANCE FOR PRECIP MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY WHEN THE SURFACE FRONT IS PROGGED TO CROSS THE AREA.
EARLIER IN THE WEEK...MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH DEPICTING
A WEDGE LIKE BOUNDARY BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH. THERE COULD STILL BE SOME PRECIP DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS
ANY WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER
SOME SHOWERS WITHIN AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AIR MASS. AT THIS TIME THE
BEST TIME FRAME FOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIP LOOKS TO OCCUR WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY WITH THE FRONT. PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE
LATE THURSDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE
CLOSED LOW/UPPER TROUGH WILL LINGER OVER THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE WORK WEEK (LIKELY INTO THE WEEKEND). EVEN THOUGH THERE IS
STILL A LOT TO IRONED OUT WITH REGARD TO THE EXACT DETAILS OF THE
FORECAST...GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM AND TIME OF YEAR...
SEVERE WEATHER AND/OR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE A POSSIBILITY...ALTHOUGH
EXACTLY WHEN IS TOUGH TO DETERMINE RIGHT NOW. TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR
TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...BUT WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON THE
AMOUNT/TIMING OF CLOUDS/PRECIP.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM FRIDAY...

AREAS AND CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE
STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED INITIALLY AND MAY END AS A BAND OF
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALIZED AREAS OF IFR/MVFR
VISIBILITIES ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL OF HAIL AND WIND GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 40KTS. THE CONVECTION WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST
BETWEEN 00 AND 03Z TONIGHT WITH FAIR WATER VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY.
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AT 10 TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 30KTS
AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME WESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT AT 5
TO 10 KTS AND PERSIST INTO SATURDAY.

LOOKING BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD...
GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
BEFORE A PERIOD OF POTENTIALLY UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SETS UP TOWARD MID WEEK. -BLAES
&&

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
