AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
412 PM EDT THU APR 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A WARM FRONT WILL RETREAT INTO NORTHERN NC THROUGH THIS
EVENING...AND MAY BRIEFLY STALL NEAR THE VA BORDER TONIGHT...BEFORE
A GROWING WARM SECTOR EXPANDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
REGION ON FRI. A LEE SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP EAST OF THE
APPALACHIANS BY EARLY AFTERNOON FRI...AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT
WILL CROSS CENTRAL NC LATER FRI AND FRI NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
FOLLOW FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 355 PM THURSDAY...

AMIDST OTHERWISE SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT OVER THE SE STATES...A LOW
AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCE OVER THE NC SANDHILLS WILL DRIFT ESE ACROSS
CENTRAL AND EASTERN NC THROUGH THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE
UPSTREAM...A MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM NE IL
TO ARKANSAS WILL MOVE NE INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY THROUGH
THIS EVENING...THE TAIL END OF WHICH WILL CROSS VA/NC TONIGHT.

AT THE SURFACE...A RETREATING WARM FRONT WAS ANALYZED FROM THE
NORTHERN NC MOUNTAINS ESE TO THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN.
THIS BOUNDARY WILL RETREAT SLOWLY NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
NC THROUGH THIS EVENING...THOUGH IT MAY STALL NEAR THE VA BORDER
SHORTLY AFTER DARK.

THE FRONT...AND STRATUS BOUNDARY DISPLACED 25-50 MILES FARTHER NORTH
INTO THE COOLER/MORE STABLE AIR AT THE SFC...HAVE SERVED AS THE TWO
PRIMARY FOCI FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS THUS FAR AS DIABATIC
HEATING/DESTABILIZATION/REMOVAL OF CINH HAS INCREASED THIS
AFTERNOON. THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD
CONSEQUENTLY EXPAND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PIEDMONT...
SANDHILLS...AND SOUTHERN-CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN THIS AFTERNOON.
SOUTHWESTERLY MEAN FLOW IN THE LOWEST 10-15 K FT SHOULD THEN ADVECT
THIS ACTIVITY NE OR CAUSE NEW ELEVATED CONVECTION ALTOGETHER TO
DEVELOP TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE RETREATING FRONT...INTO THE NORTHERN
AND NE PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN...THIS EVENING.

ONLY MARGINAL MID-LEVEL FLOW ON THE ORDER OF 25-30 KTS SHOULD PROVE
INSUFFICIENT FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT STORM ORGANIZATION/SEVERE
THREAT...THOUGH STORMS THAT FORM ALONG THE BOUNDARY/ZONE OF ENHANCED
LOW LEVEL SHEAR MAY EXHIBIT TRANSIENT LOW-MID LEVEL ROTATION THAT
MAY FOCUS RFD-TYPE STRONG WIND GUSTS AND/OR LARGE HAIL. PULSE
HAIL/DOWNBURST WIND AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL OTHERWISE PROVE THE
PRIMARY THREATS...WITH THE RELATIVE LOWEST THREAT OVER THE NE
PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN...WHERE DIURNAL TIMING/
DESTABILIZATION WILL BE MINIMIZED.

AN OVERALL DIMINISHING TREND IN COVERAGE SHOULD OCCUR BY MID-LATE
EVENING...ONCE THIS BATCH OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVES NORTHEAST OF
THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE TAIL END OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PASSING
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MAY CAUSE A FEW SHOWERS OR STORM TO CONTINUE TO
PERCOLATE INVOF THE SLOWLY RETREATING WARM FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN
PIEDMONT OVERNIGHT...WITH LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 60S...EXCEPT FOR SOME
50S POSSIBLE IN THE LINGERING WEDGE OVER FAR NE SECTIONS OF THE CWFA
THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 405 PM THURSDAY...

BENEATH MODEST HEIGHT FALLS ALOFT ATTENDING A PARENT SHORTWAVE
TROUGH FORECAST TO CROSS THE GREAT LAKES...A GROWING WARM SECTOR -
ONE CHARACTERIZED BY AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE 80S OVER CENTRAL NC-
WILL EXPAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES ON FRI...WHERE A
BREEZY SSW WIND WILL STRENGTHEN AND GUST BETWEEN 25-30 MPH ONCE A
PRONOUNCED INVERSION BREAKS AROUND MIDDAY. THE DAY SHOULD START
MOSTLY DRY...HOWEVER...EXCEPT FOR A RISK OF A SHOWER NEAR THE VA
BORDER...IN CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO THE SLOWLY RETREATING FRONTAL
ZONE...IN THE MORNING. OTHERWISE...A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH OVER WESTERN
NC WILL SHARPEN...AND THIS FEATURE AND/OR REMNANT OUTFLOW FROM AN
UPSTREAM OVERNIGHT MCS MAY TRIGGER A BAND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT BY EARLY-MID AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...THE BETTER PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL FOLLOW LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...AS A MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND
SOLID LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MARCHES EAST ALONG AN ADVANCING
COLD FRONT BETWEEN 22Z FRI-06Z SAT. SOUTHWESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW
WILL STRENGTHEN WITH TIME INTO THE 35-50 KT RANGE BY 00Z; AND WITH
GENERALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR...STORM ORGANIZATION AND AN ATTENDANT
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED. GIVEN THE UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW
AND LINEAR FORCING/PRIMARILY LINEAR CONVECTIVE MODE...DAMAGING
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WILL POSE THE PRIMARY HAZARD. THE FRONT...AND
PARTICULARLY A BAND OF 850-700 MB MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED LINGERING
CLOUDS AND CHANCE OF SHOWERS...WILL BE SLOW TO CLEAR THE COASTAL
PLAIN OVERNIGHT...WITH CAA-DRIVEN LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 305 AM THURSDAY...

THE SYNOPTIC FRONT DEPARTING THE AREA EARLY SATURDAY MORNING WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY A 1028MB HIGH BUILDING ACROSS THE LOWER MIDWEST...WHICH
WILL EVENTUALLY SETTLE ACROSS VIRGINIA SATURDAY NIGHT.  THE DRIER
AND MORE STABLE AIRMASS...CHARACTERIZED BY 1000-850MB THICKNESSES A
FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL IN THE 1340-1350M RANGE WILL LEAD TO A
TRANQUIL WEEKEND AND HIGHS NEAR NORMAL IN THE LOWER 70S. THE MAIN
QUESTION IN THE FORECAST IS HOW COLD SUNDAY MORNING LOWS WILL BE.  WITH THE
HIGH JUST TO OUR NORTH...NEARLY OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS SUPPORT LOWS IN THE LOWER 40S ACROSS THE NORTH...IF NOT A
FEW AREAS OF UPPER 30S.  IT DOESNT APPEAR CONDITIONS WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR A FROST...BUT GUIDANCE IS TRENDING TOWARD THESE VALUES.
ONCE THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE ON SUNDAY...LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE A
LITTLE MILDER IN THE MID 40S TO NEAR 50.

FOR NEXT WEEK...A SHORTWAVE CROSSING NORTHERN PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES
WILL LAY A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND MID-ATLANTIC STATES
MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT...WHICH THEN SURGES SOUTH INTO NC ON TUESDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE...SUPPORTED BY STRONGLY CONFLUENT FLOW OVER THE
NORTHEAST...BUILDS TO OUR NORTH.  FORECAST UNCERTAINTY GROWS RAPIDLY
PAST MIDWEEK AS MODELS SHOW AN ANOMALOUSLY DEEP UPPER TROUGH THAT
REACHES THE GULF OF MEXICO BARRELING ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH.  WE
SHOULD SEE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS THE FRONT
MOVES INTO THE REGION.  INSTABILITY LOOKS LIMITED DURING THE FIRST
HALF OF THE WEEK...WITH A BETTER CHANCE OF SEVER WEATHER LATE IN THE
WEEK WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH.  TEMPS SHOULD BE WITHIN A
FEW DEGREES OF NORMAL EACH DAY...COOLEST MIDDLE OF THE WEEK BEHIND
THE FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...

A WARM FRONT...AND PRECEDING IFR-MVFR STRATUS...WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LOW CLOUDS
WILL CONSEQUENTLY CONTINUE TO LIFT AND SCATTER...SLOWEST AT RWI. THE
AIR MASS WILL WARM AND DESTABILIZE AS THE LOW CLOUDS ERODE...
HOWEVER...AND RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE SOUTHWEST OF CENTRAL NC TAF SITES
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...BEFORE THEY THEN SPREAD
NORTHEASTWARD AND AFFECT THE TAF SITES MAINLY BETWEEN 21-02Z...
LATEST AT RWI.

CONFIDENCE REGARDING LOW CLOUD DEVELOPMENT AGAIN TONIGHT IS ONLY
MEDIUM...WITH THE RELATIVE BEST CHANCE AT RWI...WHERE SOME LINGERING
COOLER AND STABLE AIR NEAR THE SURFACE WILL FAVOR THE REDEVELOPMENT
OF LOW CLOUDS. SOME LOW STRATUS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AT FAY AND
RDU...ON THE WESTERN FRINGE OF WHERE NWP GUIDANCE SUGGESTS STRATUS
FOCUSED OVER THE EASTERN CAROLINAS MAY ALSO DEVELOP. A STEADY
SOUTHERLY BREEZE OVERNIGHT...WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO AROUND 20
KTS...WILL STRENGTHEN INTO THE LOW-MID TEENS KTS WITH GUSTS AROUND
25 KTS BY MIDDAY-EARLY AFTERNOON FRI.

THE APPROACH OF A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AND/OR REMNANT OUTFLOW FROM
UPSTREAM CONVECTION COULD TRIGGER A BAND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS MAINLY FROM RDU WESTWARD BETWEEN 16-21Z FRI...FOLLOWED BY A
MORE SOLID LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...SOME WITH STRONG TO SEVERE
WIND GUSTS...ALONG AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT BETWEEN 21Z FRI-06Z
SAT...LATEST AT RWI AND FAY.

OUTLOOK: A CHANCE OF MORNING STRATUS AND FOG MON MORNING...FOLLOWED
BY SHOWERS/STORMS AND ASSOCIATED SUB-VFR CONDITIONS IN ASSOCIATION
WITH A SLOWLY PASSING COLD FRONT MON-TUE.
