Area forecast discussion, Mar 7, 6:40 AM EST, 2 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
640 AM EST SAT MAR 7 2015

.SYNOPSIS... MODIFIED HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS RETURN TO CENTRAL
NORTH CAROLINA.

 &&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 310 AM SATURDAY...

BROAD UPPER TROUGHING CONTINUES ACROSS THE EASTERN US...WHILE A REX
BLOCK HOLDS OVER THE WESTERN US.  ON SHORTWAVE DEPARTING THE
VIRGINIA TIDEWATER AREA WILL BE FOLLOWED QUICKLY BY ANOTHER
DISTURBANCE CROSSING VIRGINIA LATER THIS EVENING.  HOWEVER...THE
ATMOSPHERE IS VERY DRY AROUND THE REGION AND NO PRECIP IS
ANTICIPATED.  MEANWHILE.. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY WILL BUILD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES...ESPECIALLY ON
SUNDAY AS HEIGHTS ALOFT RISE BEHIND THE AFOREMENTIONED DISTURBANCE.
1000-850MB THICKNESSES ARE AT THEIR LOWEST VALUES THIS
MORNING...LIKELY TO START OUT AROUND 1295M WITH A STEADY CLIMB OVER
THE NEXT 48 HOURS.  EXPECT A STRONG REBOUND IN TEMPS TODAY AND
SUNDAY GIVEN A MODEST BUT DEEP WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT....WITH MID TO
UPPER 50S TODAY AND MID 60S ON SUNDAY.  LOWS TONIGHT MOSTLY IN THE
MID 30S WITH ONLY SOME VERY THIN CIRRUS.  A DISTURBANCE CROSSING THE
GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY A WEAK COLD FRONT SOUTH THROUGH VIRGINIA  AND
INTO CENTRAL NC SUNDAY NIGHT...THOUGH IT WILL END UP MAINLY A WIND
SHIFT BY THE TIME IT REACHES NC AND MAY NOT EVEN REALLY MAKE IT
THROUGH THE CWA. MODELS SHOW SOME SOME TOP DOWN MOISTENING SUNDAY
NIGHT BUT THE LOWEST 10K FT OF THE ATMOSPHERE REMAIN RATHER DRY.  A
FEW SPRINKLES ARE POSSIBLE BUT MODELS HAVE TRENDED DRIER IN THIS
PERIOD.  LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 30S NORTH TO LOWER 40S SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 AM SATURDAY...

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL HAVE DRIFTED SOUTH INTO CENTRAL NC EARLY
MON...AND THIS FEATURE WILL FURTHER DIFFUSE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND MIDDLE
ATLANTIC STATES. MEANWHILE...A MORE PRONOUNCED FRONTAL ZONE -THE OLD
ONE THAT BARRELED THROUGH NC WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS ON FRI AND WHICH
HAS SINCE STALLED OVER FL- WILL STRENGTHEN AND RETREAT NORTH INTO
CENTRAL GA AND THE EASTERN CAROLINAS BY TUE MORNING...IN ADVANCE OF
A COMPLEX MID-UPPER TROUGH FORECAST TO DRIFT ACROSS THE SRN ROCKIES
AND SRN PLAINS.

DOWNSTREAM OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE SRN
ROCKIES AND PLAINS...CONSIDERABLE MID-HIGH CLOUDS AND ASSOCIATED
CLOUDY OR MOSTLY SO CONDITIONS WILL SPREAD ENE ACROSS OUR REGION.
WHILE ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL CLOUD BASES MAINLY AOA 8-10 THOUSAND FT
WILL PRODUCE VIRGA EARLY MON WHEN THE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE
ENHANCED BY A PASSING STRONGLY-SHEARED NORTHERN STREAM MID-LEVEL
TROUGH...AN OVERALL LACK OF LIFT AND RELATIVELY DEEP AND DRY SUB-
CLOUD LAYER SUGGESTS CONDITIONS AT THE SFC SHOULD REMAIN DRY...AT
LEAST UNTIL LATE MON NIGHT. AT THAT TIME...A LEAD PERTURBATION IN
WSW FLOW DOWNSTREAM OF THE PARENT TROUGH TO OUR SW WILL HAVE CAUSED
MID LEVEL OVERCAST TO THICKEN AND LOWER AND PRODUCE LIGHT RAIN OVER
THE FAR NORTHERN AND NW PIEDMONT BY DAYBREAK TUE...WITH ONLY VERY
LIGHT AMOUNTS ON THE ORDER OF A FEW HUNDREDTHS OR LESS.

PROJECTED LL THICKNESS VALUES AROUND 1345 METERS WITH CONSIDERABLE
MID-HIGH CLOUDS SUPPORT HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER
60S - A CATEGORY OR SO BELOW THE MEX STATISTICAL GUIDANCE. THE
CLOUDS SHOULD SIMILARLY CAUSE TEMPERATURES MON NIGHT TO HOLD ABOVE
STATISTICAL GUIDANCE VALUES...WITH GENERALLY UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50
DEGREES ANTICIPATED.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 335 AM SATURDAY...

ISENTROPIC LIFT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE RETREATING LOW LEVEL FRONTAL
ZONE...WHICH WILL MEET RESISTANCE AT THE SFC IN THE FORM OF A
LINGERING RIDGE AXIS...WILL DEVELOP NORTH AND INTERCEPT THE EASTWARD-
EXPANDING MID-LEVEL GENERATED RAIN FROM THE NORTHERN AND NW
PIEDMONT. AS SUCH...A LOW OVERCAST AND SHIELD OF RAIN WILL DEVELOP
NORTH THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WITH RESULTANT IN-SITU CAD CONDITIONS
LIKELY TO HOLD TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S FOR
MOST...EXCEPT UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S OVER THE FAR SE CWFA...AS A SFC
WAVE RIPPLES ALONG THE IN-SITU CAD FRONTAL ZONE AND CAUSES IT TO
BUCKLE INTO THE NC COASTAL PLAIN.

NWP GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE FRONTAL ZONE WILL REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY
INVOF THE SOUTHERN-CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN AND SOUTHERN SANDHILLS TUE
NIGHT THROUGH WED...WHERE IT WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR RAIN BOTH
ALONG AND ACROSS IT -MAINLY OVER SOUTHERN NC- UNTIL A STRONGER CP
SFC HIGH BUILDS SOUTH ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES LATE WED-
THU. THIS SFC HIGH...IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONTINUED APPROACH OF
THE SLOWLY APPROACHING PARENT MID-UPPER TROUGH ALOFT...WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN ANOTHER CAD EVENT AND RESULTANT RAIN AND LOW OVERCAST
DURING THE END OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 640 AM SATURDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD UNDER HIGH
PRESSURE AND CLEAR SKIES.  VERY LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT WILL INCREASE TO
7-10KT OUT OF THE WEST-SOUTHWEST AND PERIODICALLY GUST INTO THE
TEENS DURING THE DAY.  WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AGAIN AFTER 22Z WITH
SOME THIN CIRRUS THE ONLY CLOUDS OVERNIGHT.

OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN VFR CONDITIONS PERSISTING
THROUGH MONDAY. THE NEXT THREAT OF WIDESPREAD SUB-VFR CONDITIONS
WILL BEGIN MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WITH THE BEST CHANCES OF RAIN
AND POOR AVIATION CONDITIONS ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
