AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
330 AM EDT WED APR 30 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG AND SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL
PORTION OF THE U.S. WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO CENTRAL NC
THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD
THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. DRIER WEATHER IS
EXPECTED HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM WEDNESDAY...

PESKY SURFACE BOUNDARY THAT WAS THE FOCUS FOR SEVERE WEATHER TUESDAY
AFTERNOON ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR HAS DISPLAYED SOME MOVEMENT TO THE
NW SINCE MIDNIGHT. TEMPS ACROSS THE TRIANGLE HAVE RISEN INTO THE
UPPER 60S-LOWER 70S WITH SIMILAR OCCURRENCES OVER THE NE PIEDMONT
AND THE WESTERN SANDHILLS INTO THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT. MODEL GUIDANCE
STILL WHATS TO EITHER DISSIPATE FRONT LATER THIS MORNING OR LIFT IT
FARTHER N-NW INTO SOUTHERN VA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. A BIT LEARY OF
MODEL GUIDANCE AS MODELS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PROPEL FRONT TO THE
NORTH SINCE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING. STILL...THIS BOUNDARY WILL
LIKELY REMAIN A FOCUS FOR SCATTERED-NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS LATER
TODAY WITH MODEL GUIDANCE EMPHASIZING THE HIGHWAY 1 CORRIDOR.

SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS STILL APPEAR JUST AS IMPRESSIVE AS 24
HOURS AGO WITH BULK SHEAR STILL IN THE 35-50KT RANGE AND MLCAPE 600-
1000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THESE PARAMETERS
SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION. LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES TO ABOUT
45 KTS LATE TODAY...WITH LOW LEVEL HELICITY IN THE TROUBLESOME 150-
300 M2/S2 RANGE. THESE PARAMETERS TAKEN TOGETHER SUGGEST A FEW
SUPERCELL STORMS PROBABLE THIS AFTERNOON-THIS EVENING WITH THE
EASTERN PIEDMONT-SANDHILLS AND THE COASTAL PLAIN MORE FAVORABLE
COMPARED TO THE NW PIEDMONT. GFS BUFKIT HODOGRAPHS DISPLAY NICE LONG
CURVED SIGNATURES BY LATE AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING. THUS APPEARS A
GOOD CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON-THIS EVENING WITH LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND A FEW TORNADOES.

IN ADDITION...UPPER DIVERGENCE INCREASES APPRECIABLY THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT AS 120+KT JET LIFTS ALONG THE APPALACHIANS...PLACING
CENTRAL NC IN THE FAVORABLE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION. LIFT WILL ALSO BE
ENHANCED IN THE LOW-MID LEVELS WITH THE APPROACH OF THE 850-700MB
TROUGHS. MAIN QUESTION IS WHETHER CENTRAL NC WILL BE ABLE TO TAP
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL-NE GULF WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES. CURRENT MCS DISRUPTING
MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM THIS REGION INTO CENTRAL NC. EXPECT THIS
SYSTEM TO WEAKEN BY DAYBREAK. ONCE IT DOES...THIS SHOULD ALLOW THIS
DEEP MOISTURE TO ADVECT INTO CENTRAL NC. THUS...SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL BECOME VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS WITH RAINFALL RATES UP TO
2-3 INCHES PER HOUR HIGHLY PROBABLE. THIS INTENSE RAINFALL WILL LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN URBANIZED AREAS. BASED ON RAINFALL
THAT OCCURRED TUESDAY AFTERNOON-EVENING...WILL EXPAND FLASH FLOOD
WATCH TO ENCOMPASS THE COASTAL PLAIN AND SANDHILLS. WILL MAINTAIN
EXPIRATION TIME OF 6 AM THU. THIS MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED IN TIME IF
HEAVY RAIN STILL A THREAT OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN THURSDAY MORNING.

MAX TEMPS STILL A CHALLENGE IN THE NW PIEDMONT. WITH EXPECTATION OF
FRO PA AND NUMEROUS SHOWERS OCCURRING PRIOR TO NOON...WILL LEAN
TOWARD MID TEMPS IN THE MID 70S. ELSEWHERE MAX TEMPS IN THE 80-85
DEGREE RANGE WILL BE COMMON. IT WILL FEEL QUITE HUMID AS DEWPOINTS
WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330AM WEDNESDAY...

THURSDAY...THREAT FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW T-STORMS WILL
REMAIN BASICALLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 THROUGH MID DAY....AND EAST OF I-
95 THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON AS MID LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE REGION.
WIND PROFILES AND AVAILABLE INSTABILITY SUGGEST THAT STORMS SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW SEVERE CRITERIA.  SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS THU WITH MAX
TEMPS RANGING BETWEEN THE MID 70S NE TO AROUND 80 SE.

A MORE STABLE...DRIER...COOLER AIR MASS WILL SETTLE OVER THE
FORECAST AREA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE
PASSING OVERHEAD FRIDAY AFTERNOON MAY TRIGGER AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR
TWO OVER OUR SE COUNTIES...IF ENOUGH MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE. MAX
TEMPS FRIDAY NEAR 70-LOWER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 325 PM TUESDAY...

MAY STILL SEE SOME LINGERING CLOUDS IN THE COASTAL PLAIN SAT MORNING
AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS FINALLY SHIFTS TO OUR EAST... BUT
OTHERWISE EXPECT A DRY AND SEASONABLE AIR MASS TO START THE WEEKEND.
A WEST-EAST ORIENTED BACKDOOR FRONT TO OUR NORTH WILL INCH SOUTHWARD
TOWARD THE NRN NC BORDER SUNDAY... AS A STRONG MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGH TRAVERSES THE NORTHEAST STATES... BUT THE FRONT SHOULD HOLD
TO OUR NORTH THROUGH SUNDAY WITH SOMEWHAT MILDER AIR SPREADING INTO
NC FROM THE WEST. THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS LIKELY TO
DEEPEN AS A CLOSED VORTEX OVER THE NEW ENGLAND COAST SUN NIGHT THEN
WOBBLE VERY SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH TUE... AND THIS WILL ALLOW THE
SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE TO STRENGTHEN AND BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY FROM
THE OH VALLEY ACROSS NE NC.... KEEPING US ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN THIS SORT OF A NORTHWEST FLOW
PATTERN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER THE OH
VALLEY TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS NC... AND FOR NOW WILL LEAVE IN
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR MON/TUE. TEMPS CLOSE TO
SEASONAL NORMALS (WHICH IS LOW-MID 50S FOR LOWS AND MID-UPPER 70S
FOR HIGHS). -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 210 AM WEDNESDAY...

IFR/LIFR CEILINGS WILL LINGER THROUGH 12-14Z IN THE TRIAD AS THE
WEDGE AIRMASS GRADUALLY ERODES. PATCHY SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO FORM
ABOVE THE COOL AIRMASS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. EXPECT THE
WARM FRONT TO LIFT NORTH OF THE TRIAD WITH WINDS VEERING TO
SOUTHEAST THEN SOUTH BY 14Z. SOUTH AND EAST OF THE TRIAD...
PREDOMINANT MVFR CEILINGS AND VFR/OCNL MVFR VISIBILITY WILL CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOPING OR MOVING NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MID MORNING.

AFTER 14Z...CENTRAL NC WILL BE IN THE WARM AND VERY MOIST SECTOR
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SURFACE FRONT. WINDS WILL BE INCREASING
DURING THE MORNING AHEAD OF THE FRONT TO AROUND 15KTS WITH GUSTS TO
25KTS AFTER 16Z. CEILINGS WILL REMAIN MVFR FOR MOST OF THE
DAY...WITH BREAKS IN THE CLOUDINESS ENHANCING INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS FROM EARLY AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. AS
SUCH...ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL BE LARGELY DEPENDENT ON
HIGHLY VARIABLE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE TAF
VALID PERIOD.

IN THE LONGER RANGE...THE SURFACE FRONT WILL BE SLOWLY EDGING
EAST...WITH LINGERING MVR CONDITIONS AND SHOWERS GRADUALLY IMPROVING
TO VFR IN THE WEST BY MID DAY THURSDAY. STRONGER CONVECTION WITH
THUNDER WILL LINGER IN THE EAST THROUGH AROUND SUNSET
THURSDAY...WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS AROUND 00Z. A STRONGER COLD
FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY WITH VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
