AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
318 AM EDT SUN OCT 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION TODAY...AND REMAINS
OVER THE CAROLINAS AND THE MID ATLANTIC AT LEAST THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 315 AM SUNDAY...

A DIFFUSE SURFACE FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
BASED ON OBSERVATIONS...AND RADAR AND IR SATELLITE IMAGES. THE RAP
INDEED HAS APPEARED TO VERIFY WITH A SLACKENING OF THE GRADIENT
OVER THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT...WITH SEVERAL OBSERVATIONS SHOWING A
CALM OR VERY LIGHT WIND. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES SHOULD BE
AROUND OR EVEN A LITTLE BELOW A QUARTER-INCH TODAY...IN AN 850MB
THETA-E TROUGH SUCH THAT K INDICES ARE VERY NEGATIVE. EVEN WITH
THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH ON WATER VAPOR EARLY THIS
MORNING...AND A DECENT MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TO FOLLOW OVER VIRGINIA
AND FAR NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING
ACCOMPANIED BY THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A 100KT 500MB JET...
COLUMN SUBSIDENCE APPEARS STRONG AND THE AIR MASS DRY SUCH THAT
EVEN WITH THE WAVE LATER CLOUDS SHOULD BE FEW AT BEST. THE
CANADIAN CLOUD COVER MODEL IS VIRTUALLY CLEAR FOR THE ENTIRE
DAY INTO THE EVENING. WILL CONTINUE THE FROST ADVISORY AS IS TO
EXPIRATION...AND UNDER CONSIDERABLE SUNSHINE...HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD RECOVER IN A DRY AIR MASS TO WITHIN A DEGREE OR THREE OF
60. BUFR SOUNDINGS AND 925MB WIND FORECASTS SUGGEST A PERIOD OF
WIND GUSTS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO AROUND 20KT WITH MIXING BY MID-
MORNING BEFORE THESE GUSTS GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THEREAFTER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 AM SUNDAY...

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN BELOW A HALF-INCH WITH AN 850MB
THETA-E TROUGH AND OVERALL SUBSIDENCE PERSISTING IN THIS PERIOD
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THERE IS SOME INCREASE IN 850MB THETA-E
VALUES OVERNIGHT MONDAY BUT THE BULK OF THE INCREASE IS ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE CAROLINA COAST. FORECAST CONCERNS FOCUS ON POTENTIAL
FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT MONDAY
INTO EARLY TUESDAY. AFTER COORDINATION WITH ADJACENT OFFICES WILL
CONTINUE THE FREEZE WATCH FOR LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY
MORNING...ALLOWING ALL TO DEFINE AND COLLABORATE NECESSARY
WARNINGS DURING THE DAY. AS THE RIDGE BUILDS IN WINDS SHOULD
DIMINISH...AND WHILE THE LATEST GUIDANCE IS CONSISTENT IN NOT
PROVIDING FOR A HARD FREEZE IN GENERAL...1000-850MB THICKNESSES
SUGGEST QUITE A FEW OVERNIGHT LOWS NEAR 30 AND 31 ESPECIALLY
OUTSIDE OF THE IMMEDIATE URBAN AREAS. WHERE THE LOW-LEVEL WINDS
SHOULD BE UP JUST A LITTLE LONGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT...CONSISTENTLY
FORECAST BY THE NAM FOR A LEAST TWO OR THREE RUNS NOW...OVERNIGHT
LOWS SHOULD BE A BIT WARMER...AROUND 34 OR 35. AS SUCH...THE
FREEZE WATCH CONTINUES FOR MOST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...AND
EXPANDED INTO EDGECOMBE AND WILSON COUNTIES WHERE THE CONSENSUS OF
GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED SLIGHTLY COLDER. WILL OPT TO ISSUE A FROST
ADVISORY FOR THE FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES FOR TONIGHT...FROM KMEB TO
KGSB INCLUDING KFAY AND KCTZ...AS CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT
AT LEAST AREAS OF FROST SHOULD OCCUR AS THE TEMPERATURES COOL AND
WINDS LIGHTEN UNDER A CLEAR SKY.

OVERNIGHT MONDAY...THE SURFACE RIDGE IS DIRECTLY OVERHEAD.
1000-850MB THICKNESSES WARM QUITE A BIT...TO NEAR 1344M BY 12Z
TUESDAY. EXPECT THE NEAR SURFACE-BASED INVERSION TO BE QUITE SHARP
SUCH THAT GOOD...SHALLOW COOLING SHOULD OCCUR. THE MAJORITY OF THE
GUIDANCE IS A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER FOR LOWS MONDAY NIGHT
COMPARED TO TONIGHT...AND WHILE SOME TYPICALLY COLDER SPOTS IN THE
SOUTHWEST AND NORTHEAST PIEDMONTS SHOULD LIKELY FALL TO NEAR
FREEZING IN A DRY AIR MASS UNDER A CLEAR SKY WITH A LIGHT WIND...
WILL REFRAIN FROM ANY HEADLINES THEN FOR NOW AWAITING TO SEE THE
RESULTANT TEMPERATURES FROM OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. POSSIBLE TO HAVE AT
LEAST ANOTHER FROST ADVISORY FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND WILL NOTE THAT
IN THE HWO AS WELL AS THE GRIDDED AND WORDED FORECASTS...AS 30S
CAN BE QUITE COMMON EVEN WHEN THE 1000-850MB THICKNESSES RISE
WHILE UNDER A CHILLY SURFACE HIGH.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM SUNDAY...

DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE MEDIUM RANGE PORTION OF
THE FORECAST WITH MOSTLY SUNNY/MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES GENERALLY
EXPECTED. A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED NEAR THE END OF THE
WEEK.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION TO START THE PERIOD WILL MOVE
OFFSHORE...THOUGH THE RIDGE AXIS WILL EXTEND BACK INTO THE AREA
THROUGH THURSDAY. MEANWHILE...MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL EXPAND
NORTHWARD FROM THE DEEP SOUTH...WITH A S/W DISTURBANCE TRACKING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES/NORTHEAST U.S FROM MID TO LATE
WEEK...NEAR THE U.S./CANADIAN BORDER. THIS WILL HELP TO PROPEL A
DRY TRAILING COLD FRONT THROUGH CENTRAL NC THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY (MOISTURE STARVED...WITH MAYBE A BRIEF INCREASE IN CLOUD
COVER). GIVEN THIS PATTERN WE SHOULD SEE TEMPS REBOUND BACK TO
NEAR NORMAL FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...BEFORE FALLING BACK
BELOW NORMAL LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 145 AM SUNDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH...AND BEYOND...THE 06Z VALID TAF
PERIOD. EXPECT A FEW NORTHERLY WIND GUSTS WITH MIXING THIS MORNING
INTO THE UPPER TEENS KNOTS...POSSIBLY TOUCHING AROUND 20KT...BEFORE
SUBSIDING DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE LATEST GFS MODEL HAS BACKED OFF
ON THE PROBABILITY OF NEAR MVFR CEILINGS TOWARD KFAY IN THE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY TIME FRAME. STILL...THAT MODEL
BRINGS 850MB MOISTURE TO AREAS JUST EAST OF KCTZ AND KRWI OVERNIGHT
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY MORNING...SO IT WILL BE CLOSE AND THE
PROBABILITY OF A PERIOD OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS THEN IS NON-ZERO FOR
KFAY AND KRWI.
