Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 3:20 PM EDT, 6 hours 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
320 PM EDT WED APR 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO NORTHEAST NORTH
CAROLINA FROM THE NORTH LATE TONIGHT... THEN LIFT BACK NORTH LATE
THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM WEDNESDAY...

A PASSING MID-UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE OVER EAST-CENTRAL VA/NC HAS
RESULTED IN BRIEF SUBSIDENCE OVER CENTRAL NC IN THE WAKE OF THE
CONVECTION THAT AFFECTED OUR AREA EARLIER THIS MORNING. THE THREAT
OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN FOR THE EVENING AND
EARLY NIGHTTIME HOURS...AS A RESULT OF 1) THE ARRIVAL INTO THE NE
PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN-CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN OF A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO SETTLE SOUTHWESTWARD FROM NE NC THIS
AFTERNOON... 2) THE SHARPENING OF A LEE SFC TROUGH OVER THE NC NW
PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS...AND 3) THE APPROACH AND PROBABLE INFLUENCE
OF A COUPLE OF UPSTREAM MCS/S. WHILE THE FRONTAL ZONE MAY INITIATE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS BY ITSELF...IT IS LIKELY THAT THE LEE
SFC TROUGH WILL REMAIN CONVECTIVELY INACTIVE UNTIL IT MERGERS WITH
ANOTHER BOUNDARY...EITHER IN THE FORM OF THE FRONTAL ZONE AS IT
SETTLES INTO SW VA...OR MORE LIKELY THE OUTFLOW FROM AN UPSTREAM MCS
- EITHER THE LEAD ONE OVER WESTERN WV OR A DEVELOPING MCS FARTHER
UPSTREAM OVER THE WESTERN TN VALLEY. ASSOCIATED SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP SOUTHEASTWARD INTO
THE NW AND NORTHERN PIEDMONT THIS EVENING AND MERGE WITH ANY MORE
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR EVENING INVOF THE FRONT/TOWARD HNZ TO RWI.

PROVIDED STORMS DEVELOP...THERE WILL BE A CONDITIONAL THREAT OF
DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND HAIL AS A RESULT OF STEEP TO MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES CENTERED OVER WESTERN NC THIS AFTERNOON. SPC HAS
HIGHLIGHTED THE NW PIEDMONT IN A MARGINAL RISK TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
POSSIBILITY...AND WE WILL ADD A BRIEF MENTION TO THE HWO. ONCE ANY
SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVE ESE AND/OR DISSIPATE OVERNIGHT...PARTIAL
CLEARING AND NE FLOW BEHIND THE AFOREMENTIONED BACKDOOR FRONT WILL
PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW STRATUS AND FOG...WITH LOWS RANGING
FROM THE MIDDLE 50S NE TO LOWER 60S SW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...

THE FRONTAL ZONE...WHICH BY THAT TIME WILL LIKELY HAVE BEEN
MODULATED/PUSHED SOUTH BY OUTLFLOW...AND ASSOCIATED POST-FRONTAL LOW
CLOUDS...WILL RETREAT NORTH THU. ASSOCIATED CLEARING WILL BE SLOWEST
TO OCCUR NEAR THE VA BORDER...WHILE AREAS TO THE SOUTH RISE QUICKLY
INTO THE 80S. DEPENDING ON HOW SLOW THE STRATUS IS TO ERODE ACROSS
THE NORTH...TEMPERATURES COULD END UP SEVERAL DEGREES HIGHER THAN
CURRENT FORECASTS IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 DEGREES. SCATTERED
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AREA-WIDE OWING TO THE
WARMTH AND HUMIDITY...THOUGH WITH THE RELATIVE BEST CHANCE INVOF THE
RETREATING FRONTAL ZONE OVER THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT. THERE SHOULD
THEN BE A LULL IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES DURING THE EARLY NIGHTTIME
HOURS AS THE BOUNDARY RETREATS INTO VA AND A BREEZY SSW FLOW
ENVELOPS CENTRAL NC. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL RETURN TO THE WESTERN
PIEDMONT LATE...HOWEVER...IN RESPONSE TO HEIGHT FALLS ALOFT IN
ADVANCE OF THE PARENT UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE MS VALLEY.
MILD AND MUGGY WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S.

&&

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 320 PM WEDNESDAY...

MERGING SHORTWAVES OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL SEND A SURFACE LOW
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON FRIDAY AND COLD FRONT TOWARD THE
APPALACHAINS EARLY FRIDAY. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST SOUTHWESTERLY WIND GUSTS TO 25-30MPH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WITH
GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG STATISTICAL GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S
NW TO MID 80S SE.  UNLESS DEWPOINTS MIX OUT MORE THAN SOUNDINGS
SHOW...MLCAPE IS EXPECTED TO VARY FROM AROUND 500 J/KG WEST TO AS
MUCH AS 1000-1500 J/KG EAST. HOWEVER... WITH UNIFORM SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW THERE'S NOT MUCH TO TRIGGER/ENHANCE CONVECTION UNTIL LATER IN
THE AFTERNOON IN THE WEST WHEN A PREFRONTAL TROUGH BEGINS TO SHARPEN
AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  SEVERE POTENTIAL DEPENDS SOMEWHAT ON THE TIMING
BUT CURRENTLY LOOKS BEST LATE AFTERNOON IN THE WEST AND EVENING IN
THE WEST AS BULK SHEAR INCREASES TO 40-45KT ...THOUGH THE TREND MAY
BE TO WEAKEN TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT WITH LOSS OF HEATING. THE FRONT
AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION SHOULD PUSH THROUGH PRETTY QUICKLY FRIDAY
NIGHT AND BE EAST OF THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOWS IN THE
MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.

TRANQUIL WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE SPRAWLS
ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND MID-ATLANTIC STATES.  THE ECMWF SHOWS MORE
IN THE WAY OF HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN US...BUT
SKIES HERE SHOULD BE MOSTLY CLEAR.  THE GFS IS A TOUCH COOLER THAN
THE ECMWF FOR LOWS SUNDAY MORNING AND IS PREFERRED GIVEN 1000-850MB
THICKNESSES DROPPING WELL BE 1350M AND PRETTY GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING CONDITIONS DESPITE THE HIGH STAYING TO OUR NORTH.  WILL GO
WITH LOWS IN THE MID 40S.

THE PATTERN FROM SUNDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK LOOKS
SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THE PATTERN THIS WEEK...WITH AN UPPER LOW OVER
THE INNER MOUNTAIN WEST AND A BROAD RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN US.  THE
MAIN DIFFERENCE MAY BE A LESSER DEGREE OF HEATING AND DIURNAL
INSTABILITY THE ECMWF...WHICH HAD BEEN MUCH MORE CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE
THAN THE GFS...WAS OVERALL DRIER ON THE 12Z RUN...WHICH IS IN BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH THE GFS/CANADIAN AND SEEMS TO FIT THE PATTERN A
LITTLE BETTER.  WILL ADJUST POPS  TO SHOW SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES IN
THE WEST VERSUS THE EAST....THOUGH KEEPING POPS AT SLIGHT CHANCE
MONDAY AND LOW END CHANCE TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY THICKNESSES ARE PROGGED
TO BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL...20M OR SO...WHICH SUGGESTS AFTERNOON
HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO AROUND 80...A LITTLE WARMER EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...

INITIALLY VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON WILL YIELD TO SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH ASSOCIATED SUB-VFR CONDITIONS AND
GUSTY WINDS THIS EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT...OWING TO BOTH THE
ARRIVAL OF A BACK DOOR FRONT FROM NE NC AND THE PROBABLE INFLUENCE
FROM A COUPLE OF UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS STRETCHING THIS
AFTERNOON FROM THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS TO THE WESTERN TN VALLEY.
FOG AND LOW STRATUS WILL BE PROBABLE LATE TONIGHT ONCE THE SHOWERS
AND STORMS DISSIPATE AND SKIES BRIEFLY PARTIALLY CLEAR. ASSOCIATED
LIFR-MVFR CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION THROUGH A PERIOD OF
MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH LATE MORNING TO MIDDAY THU...BEFORE LIFTING
AND SCATTERING TO VFR BETWEEN 14-18Z...SLOWEST AT NORTHERN TAF SITES.

OUTLOOK: ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
AGAIN THU AFTERNOON...PARTICULARLY IN THE VICINITY OF THE RETREATING
FRONTAL ZONE...AT NORTHERN TAF SITES. A COLD FRONT WILL BRING A
BETTER CHANCE SHOWERS AND STORMS AND ASSOCIATED OF SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS FRI AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
