AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
310 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE AREA TODAY AND
REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION INTO NEXT WEEK. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
WILL TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD FROM FROM THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING AND
ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1015 AM SATURDAY...

EARLIER COMPLEX OF SHOWERS MOVING INTO THE TRIAD HAS ALL BUT
DIMINISHED THIS HOUR WITH A BAD OF CLOUDS REMAINING FROM THE
FOOTHILLS...JUST NOW MOVING INTO THE NW PIEDMONT. NOT A LOT OF
ENHANCEMENT ON THE VISIBLE PICTURE AT THIS TIME AND THE HRRR HAS
BACKED OFF ON ALL PRECIPITATION UNTIL AROUND 17Z WHEN TEMPERATURES
RISE ENOUGH TO START GETTING CONVECTIVE INITIATION ACROSS THE AREA.
CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN AS SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA
BUT THEN A PUSH FROM A SHORTWAVE ENTERING THE TRIAD AFTER 18Z COULD
BEGIN TO ORGANIZE STORMS A LITTLE MORE. WITH BULK SHEAR VALUES IN
THE 20-25 KT RANGE AND INSTABILITY BETWEEN 1000-1500 J/KG WOULD
EXPECT SOME KIND OF LINEAR MULTICELLULAR FEATURE WHICH WILL WORK
THROUGH THE CWA FROM NW TO SE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS. EXPECT THE BEST UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM 500 MB
VORTICITY TO MOVE THROUGH THE TRIANGLE AREA MID AFTERNOON AND THE I-
95 CORRIDOR BY EARLY EVENING. SPC CURRENTLY HAS THE AREA UNDER A
MARGINAL RISK FOR ANY SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY
THREAT. ANY SEVERE ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS. -ELLIS

HIGH TEMPS TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE AMOUNT
OF DEBRIS CLOUD COVER FROM THE APPROACHING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX. HAVE
LOWERED PREVIOUS HIGH TEMPS BY A DEGREE OR TWO... GIVEN INCREASING
CLOUD COVER LATER TODAY... ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXPECTED
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THUS... WILL GO WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOWER
TO MID 90S.

TONIGHT AND SUNDAY: ANY LINGERING CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO PUSH TO
THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA AND/OR DISSIPATE BY EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING... WITH MID LEVEL FEATURE SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE AREA. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE WARM AGAIN FOR TONIGHT... WITH
LOWS GENERALLY EXPECTED IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

THE CENTER OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE
SOUTH CENTRAL U.S. ON SUNDAY... WITH CENTRAL NC ON THE PERIPHERY OF
THE EXTENDING EASTWARD RIDGE AXIS. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A
CONTINUATION OF WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. HOWEVER... THE LATEST
GUIDANCE DOES NOT SHOW MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANY DISTURBANCES ALOFT
TRACKING ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY. THUS... EXPECT ANY CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED. THIS COUPLED
WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER AFTERNOON LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES THAN
TODAYS SHOULD YIELD HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S... WITH
POSSIBLY A FEW LOCATIONS TOUCHING 100 ACROSS THE SOUTH/SOUTHWESTERN
PORTION OF THE FA. -BSD

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM SATURDAY...

TO BE UPDATED SHORTLY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 310 PM SATURDAY...

MON: HOT WITH LOWER-THAN-USUAL (FOR SUMMERTIME) STORM CHANCES. WE
REMAIN BENEATH NORTHWESTERLY STEERING FLOW... ON THE NE SIDE OF THE
SPRAWLING RIDGE FROM NW MEXICO ACROSS TX AND THE LOWER MISS
VALLEY... BUT THIS FLOW IS VERY LIGHT OVER NC WITH THE STRONGER MID
LEVEL WINDS AND DIFFLUENCE WELL TO OUR NW. A PROMINENT PERTURBATION
CROSSING KS/NRN/MO/IL/OH VALLEY INTO MON EVENING MAY HELP BUILD
SHORTWAVE RIDGING DOWNSTREAM OVER NC MUCH OF THE DAY... AND
ACCORDINGLY THE MODELS ARE FORECASTING LITTLE POTENTIAL BUOYANCY
WITH NC MUCAPE VALUES GENERALLY BELOW 1000 J/KG EVEN AT PEAK
HEATING... ALONG WITH SUB-20 KT DEEP LAYER SHEAR... AND A WARM 500-
300 MB LAYER. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL HOLD OVER THE COASTAL
PLAIN... AND THIS AREA WITH ITS HIGHER SURFACE DEWPOINTS MAY SEE A
BIT BETTER CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION... BUT STILL MEAGER GIVEN
THE LACK OF STRONG DYNAMIC OR THERMODYNAMIC SUPPORT. ANYTHING THAT
CAN GET GOING MAY GENERATE ENHANCED DOWNDRAFTS GIVEN THE INVERTED-V
FORECAST SOUNDING APPEARANCE AND DCAPE NEARING 1000 J/KG. WILL KEEP
POPS LOW AT 15-30% AT MOST... HIGHEST EAST OF I-95. OUR LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES SHOULD BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL (BY 15-20 M)... WITH THE MID
LEVEL ANTICYCLONE CENTERED IN THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY IDEAL LOCATION
FOR ATYPICALLY HOT TEMPS IN NC. FOLLOWING THIS AND WITH THE WARMING
TREND OF GUIDANCE... EXPECT HIGHS OF 95-100... A FEW DEGREES SHY OF
THE DAILY RECORD HIGHS. HEAT INDICES COULD REACH 103-104 DEGREES
MAINLY IN THE SOUTHEAST... ALTHOUGH IF DEWPOINTS DON'T SLIP INTO THE
UPPER 60S WITH MIXING... READINGS COULD HIT 105 BRIEFLY. WE MAY SEE
ISOLATED DYING SHOWERS SPILLING OVER FROM THE HIGHER TERRAIN MON
NIGHT. WARM LOWS OF 71-76.

TUE: CONTINUE HOT WITH BETTER STORM CHANCES THAN MON. STILL
ANTICIPATE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS BUT WILL PROBABLY BE MUTED FROM
MONDAY'S READINGS BY UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS MOVING
OVERHEAD... TRIMMING HEATING A BIT... SO EXPECT TUE HIGHS TO BE A
DEGREE OR TWO LOWER THAN MONDAY'S... DESPITE THICKNESSES COMPARABLE
TO THOSE EXPECTED MONDAY. HEAT INDICES SHOULD ONCE AGAIN APPROACH
103-104 DEGREES IN THE SOUTHEAST. PROJECTED MUCAPE TUE IS STILL
UNIMPRESSIVE... JUST 750-1500 J/KG... WITH MEAGER DEEP LAYER SHEAR
OF AROUND 20 KTS. BUT DYNAMIC FORCING WILL BE ON THE UPSWING AS THE
MID LEVEL LOW OVER QUEBEC DIGS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHEAST... PROVIDING SLIGHT DPVA AND HEIGHT FALLS ESPECIALLY LATE
TUE THROUGH TUE NIGHT... IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SURFACE COLD FRONT
PUSHING IN FROM THE NW. WILL TOP OUT POPS AT 30-40%... ALTHOUGH THIS
MAY RISE IN LATER FORECASTS IF TIMING CAN BE PINNED DOWN.

WED-SAT: MOST OF THE AREA (EXCEPT FOR SE SECTIONS) WILL BE IN A
RELATIVE LULL CONVECTION-WISE AS THE SURFACE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
SETTLE OVER SRN/ERN NC WITH HIGH PRESSURE STARTING TO BUILD IN FROM
THE NW. WILL KEEP GOOD CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH AND EAST WED
WHERE PW VALUES WILL BE NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL... HOWEVER DRIER AIR
ELSEWHERE SHOULD LIMIT STORM COVERAGE OVER THE NORTH AND WEST WED.
CONVECTION CHANCES LOOK TO RISE THU AND PEAK FRI... AS STRONG
SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES ESE INTO THE MIDATLANTIC REGION... INTO THE
MEAN TROUGH BASE... WITH A NORTHWARD SURGE OF THE SURFACE FRONTAL
ZONE. THE INITIALLY LOWER PW VALUES CLIMB BACK UP CLOSE TO 2.0
INCHES ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH HALF FRI... AND THIS IS WHERE THE
GREATEST COVERAGE SHOULD BE. THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AND SURFACE
FRONT SHOULD THEN SETTLE SOUTHEAST OF THE NC... USHERING IN A
SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MASS TO START THE WEEKEND. THICKNESSES SUGGEST
CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WED... A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER BUT
STILL SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THU... THEN NEAR NORMAL FRI/SAT. -GIH

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM SATURDAY...

24 HOUR TAF PERIOD: A LINE OF CONVECTION IS MOVING OVER KRDU AT THIS
TIME AND WILL BE APPROACHING KRWI IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS IF IT HOLDS
TOGETHER. TO THE SOUTH...MORE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL APPROACH
THE VICINITY OF KFAY BY 20Z OR SO. WIND GUSTS OF 40-50 KTS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS BUT THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION WILL SEE
WIND GUSTS REMAIN UNDER 30 KTS. BEHIND THE LINE...WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO BRIEFLY GO NORTHWESTERLY BEFORE RETURNING TO A GENERAL
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW. OVERNIGHT...SOME VFR VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE
AROUND DAYBREAK. WITH NO DISCERNIBLE SHORT WAVE IN THE
AREA...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON SHOULD BE LESS THAN THIS
AFTERNOON.

LONG TERM: WITH A RETURN TO SOUTHERLY FLOW...EXPECT AN UPTICK IN
DIURNAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING SATURDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE END OF THE LONG TERM
WHICH COULD PRESENT SOME ADVERSE CONDITIONS EACH DAY.
