Special Weather Statement, NWS Raleigh, NC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
458 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A PERSISTENT UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
U.S. WILL BE INTERRUPTED ONLY BRIEFLY BY THE PASSAGE OF THE
REMNANTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE BILL LATE SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 425 PM FRIDAY...

PERSISTENCE. MUCH LIKE RECENT DAYS...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS PULSE
TO MULTICELL STORMS WILL PROPAGATE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NC
THROUGH LATE EVENING-EARLY MORNING...WITH THE RELATIVE FASTER
PROPAGATION AND MULTICELL STORM ORGANIZATION ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PIEDMONT WHERE MID LEVEL FLOW AND ASSOCIATED BULK SHEAR REMAINS
RELATIVELY MAXIMIZED ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF SOUTHEASTERN SUB-
TROPICAL RIDGING. IN THESE TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS/WITH THESE
CONVECTIVE MODES...MID-HIGH LEVEL PRECURSOR RADAR SIGNATURES SUCH
AS THE TIME TENDENCY OF ELEVATED REFLECTIVITY CORES AND STORM TOP
DIVERGENCE ARE USED IN WARNING DECISION-MAKING...IN CONJUNCTION
WITH NEAR STORM ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS.

PERSISTENCE LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 450 PM EDT FRIDAY...

THE REMNANTS OF BILL WILL TRACK ACROSS THE EASTERN TN VALLEY AND
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS LATE SAT AND ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
STATES SAT NIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE PERSISTENT PRECEDING SUB-TROPICAL
RIDGE WILL BE BRIEFLY SUPPRESSED AS A RESULT OF THE PASSAGE OF THE
TROUGH ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS...A STRENGTHENING SSW
LOW LEVEL JET AND ASSOCIATED WARM ADVECTION WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
WARMING TEMPERATURES FOR SAT VERSUS FRI...SO HIGHS ARE APT TO
CLIMB HIGHER THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST - INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER
90S. BASED ON 1) THE HOTTER FORECAST TEMPERATURES...2) LOCAL HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA OF 102-105 DEGREES FOR MORE THAN THREE
CONSECUTIVE DAYS...AND 3) THE AREAS WHERE HEAT INDICES HAVE MET
OR EXCEEDED 102 DEGREES IN RECENT DAYS...A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR SAT AND EXPANDED IN SIZE RELATIVE TO PREVIOUS DAYS.

ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS AREA-WIDE
DURING THE AFTERNOON...THE PRIMARY FORCING FOR ASCENT ACCOMPANYING
THE REMNANTS OF BILL WILL SPREAD EAST ACROSS CENTRAL NC BETWEEN
22Z-06Z. AS SUCH...THE ASSOCIATED RELATIVE HIGHEST CHANCE OF
STORMS...LIKELY IN THE FORM OF A BAND OR TWO OF MULTICELL LINE
SEGMENTS ALONG CONFLUENCE/TROUGH AXES AND ORGANIZED BY
STRENGTHENING LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE REMNANTS
OF BILL...WILL LIKELY SPREAD EAST VERY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. MULTICELL STORM CLUSTERS/LINE SEGMENTS
WOULD POSE A RISK OF BOTH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE
HAIL...WITH THE LATTER FAVORED IN THE MORE PERSISTENT UPDRAFTS
THAT MAY ALSO EXHIBIT BRIEF SUPERCELLULAR/ROTATIONAL
CHARACTERISTICS AS A RESULT OF THE AFOREMENTIONED STRENGTHENING
LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM FRIDAY...

LINGERING CONVECTION AND CLOUDINESS FROM THE PASSAGE OF TC BILLS
REMNANTS WILL BE EXITING THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING. WITH INCREASING
SUN AND SUBSIDENCE IN THE AFTERNOON...HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO AGAIN
REACH THE MID TO UPPER 90S.

INITIAL ZONAL FLOW ON MONDAY WILL QUICKLY VEER TO NORTHWESTERLY AS A
RATHER BROAD UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFIES IN THE MIDWEST AND MIGRATES EAST
THROUGH THURSDAY. AS THE HEIGHTS BUILD...THE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA
WILL WARM A BIT ON MONDAY...GENERALLY RANGING FROM UPPER 90S NORTH
TO 100-102 SOUTH...AND PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY. MORNING MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO FOLLOW A SIMILAR STEADY STATE TREND...72 TO
76 DEGREES. IN ADDITION TO DIURNAL CONVECTION IN CLIMATOLOGICALLY
FAVORED AREAS AND WIDELY SCATTERED AIRMASS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EACH DAY...A SERIES OF UPPER PERTURBATIONS ORIGINATING FROM UPSTREAM
CONVECTION ARE EXPECTED TO RIDE THE NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN OHIO VALLEY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. THE TIMING OF
THESE WAVES WILL BE A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE STRENGTH AND COVERAGE OF
ACTIVITY THROUGH THE PERIOD.

PERHAPS SOME RELIEF IS IN SIGHT AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES. AN
AMPLIFYING RIDGE IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST WILL INDUCE DOWNSTREAM
TROFFING IN THE EASTERN CONUS...WITH NOTABLY COOLER AIR MAKING A
PUSH SOUTH OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THE FRONTAL ZONE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AIRMASS WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA FROM
THE NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY...INCREASING OUR CHANCE OF RAIN AS WELL AS
KNOCKING 5-8 DEGREES OFF OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES FRIDAY...WHICH
WOULD STILL KEEP US WELL ABOVE NORMAL IN THE LOW TO MID 90S. A
FURTHER COOL-OFF TOWARDS CLIMATOLOGICAL HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S
MIGHT BE ON THE HORIZON FOR NEXT WEEKEND...STAY TUNED (AND COOL).

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM FRIDAY...

A PERSISTENCE FORECAST OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING STORMS...LATE NIGHT-EARLY MORNING STRATUS WHERE EARLIER
RAIN OCCURS....AND VFR CONDITIONS OTHERWISE...WILL BE FOLLOWED
OWING TO THE CONTINUED TRACK OF THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
BILL ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A HOT SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE THAT REMAINS CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN US.

OUTLOOK: MAINLY VFR...EXCEPT FOR IN AND NEAR MAINLY DIURNALLY-
DRIVEN SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
