AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
340 PM EDT THU AUG 6 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED OUT NEAR THE NORTH CAROLINA
VIRGINIA BORDER THROUGH FRIDAY... AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES
EAST ALONG THE FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA. THE LOW AND FRONT WILL PUSH TO
OUR SOUTHEAST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM THURSDAY...

STORMS ARE INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OVER MUCH OF CENTRAL
NC IN AN AREA THAT RECEIVED STRONG HEATING EARLIER TODAY. MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES REMAIN MEAGER... BUT MLCAPE HAS RISEN TO 1500-2000 J/KG
WITH 8+ C/KM LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND STILL-MARGINAL BUT IMPROVING
EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 20-25 KTS. GIVEN THE ABOVE-NORMAL PW AND
INCREASING DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT WITH THE APPROACH OF A POTENT
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH FROM THE WEST AND ITS ATTENDANT SURFACE
LOW... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS SHOULD PERSIST WITH A THREAT OF
SPORADIC WET MICROBURSTS THROUGH MID EVENING. BEHIND THIS INITIAL
BATCH OF STORMS... ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH
SUBTLE PERTURBATIONS ROTATING OUT OF THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH BASE AND
FEEDING ON ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND DEEPENING MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE
TO TRACK EAST THEN NE INTO THE AREA WELL INTO TONIGHT... AND SOME OF
THESE TOO COULD BECOME STRONG ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING... UNTIL THE
LOSS OF HEATING AND COMPETING OUTFLOWS START TO CURB STORM DEPTH AND
STRENGTH... EVENTUALLY DEVOLVING INTO AREAS OF SHOWERS AND JUST A
FEW STORMS OVERNIGHT. ALL TOLD... WILL STICK WITH HIGH-END LIKELY
POPS OVER THE ENTIRE CWA THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING... TRENDING
DOWN TO HIGH CHANCE OR LOW LIKELY POPS OVERNIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW
OVER WRN KY TRANSLATES INTO THE AREA WITH CONTINUED FALLING HEIGHTS
ALOFT. LOWS FROM 67 TO 75 NORTH TO SOUTH. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG AND
LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 340 PM THURSDAY...

AFTER A BRIEF LULL IN THE PRECIP COVERAGE LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
FRI MORNING... SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL AGAIN BE LIKELY ESPECIALLY
FROM THE TRIANGLE TO THE NORTH AND EAST... RAMPING UP AS EARLY AS
LATE MORNING. THE SLOW PASSAGE OF THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE AXIS AND
ACCOMPANYING SURFACE LOW WILL KEEP CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS OVER THE
AREA... WHILE DEEP MOISTURE IN THE FORM OF ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PW (2.0-
2.2 INCHES) WITHIN THIS DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL FACILITATE
HIGH COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/STORMS. WHILE THE CLOUDS WILL LIMIT
INSTABILITY SOMEWHAT... THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE IMPROVING...
AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD BE A LITTLE BETTER THAN TODAY. WILL
TREND UP TO HIGH CHANCE POPS IN THE FAR WEST AND LIKELY ELSEWHERE
BEFORE NOON. AS THE SURFACE LOW DRIFTS SE DURING THE DAY... LOW
LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW INTO THE PIEDMONT (ESPECIALLY NW) FOR MUCH
OF THE DAY ALONG WITH THICK CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPS DOWN. EXPECT
HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 70S NW TO THE MID 80S SE... ALTHOUGH THIS MAY
BE A LITTLE TOO WARM IN THE SE. WILL TRANSITION POPS DOWN FRI NIGHT
FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS SLOWLY EASTWARD... WITH A
TREND TO MAINLY SHOWERS. LOWS 66-71. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM THURSDAY...

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: THE LONG TERM SHOULD BEGIN WITH THE WEEKEND
LOOKING RELATIVELY DRY AND COOL AS A LONGWAVE TROUGH REMAINS PARKED
OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD. A SURFACE LOW WILL EXIT THE COAST ON
SATURDAY AND SHOULD TAKE THE PRECIPITATION WITH IT AS IT MOVES
NORTHEASTWARD. AS THE LOW DEEPENS OFFSHORE...IT WILL BEGIN TO LIFT
OUT THE UPPER TROUGH AND MOVE IT EASTWARD. IN ITS WAKE...A
RELATIVELY DRY PERIOD SHOULD ENSUE FOR MOST OF THE WEEKEND. THERE
ARE SOME SMALL PERTURBATIONS IN THE FLOW UPSTREAM THAT COULD CAUSE A
FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS OR STORMS...PARTICULARLY ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON
BUT OTHERWISE EXPECT A MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND WITH SKIES CLEARING AND
HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID 80S NORTH TO NEAR 90 DEGREES ACROSS THE SOUTH.
LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY: A STRONGER WAVE WILL APPROACH LATER ON MONDAY AS
A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE OHIO VALLEY AND THE
APPALACHIANS. LOW LEVEL DETAILS ARE MURKY AT THIS TIME BUT IN
GENERAL...FRONTOGENESIS WILL OCCUR AND A COLD FRONT SHOULD CROSS THE
AREA BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. EXPECT
WEATHER TO BE UNSETTLED UP UNTIL FRONTAL PASSAGE...MAINLY FROM
MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME. HIGHS UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S.
LOWS UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: FRONT WILL EXIT THE COAST ON WEDNESDAY AND
SOME VERY UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL ENSUE AS A
VERY SHARP UPPER TROUGH WILL DIG DOWN THROUGH THE CAROLINAS. EXPECT
MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH COOLER HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S AND
LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES WITH A FEW LOWER 60S
SPRINKLED INTO THE NW PIEDMONT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 135 PM THURSDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE NOTED AT ALL CENTRAL NC TAF SITES CURRENTLY...
BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY
DETERIORATE ESPECIALLY TOWARD NIGHTFALL. WE'RE ALREADY SEEING
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS NEAR FAY/INT/GSO SOON TO AFFECT RDU AND
THEN RWI OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LOCALIZED MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS
WILL ACCOMPANY ANY SHOWERS OR STORMS... ALONG WITH ERRATIC STRONG
WIND GUSTS. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AWAY FROM CONVECTION.
COVERAGE WILL TREND UP LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY THROUGH
THIS EVENING WITH MOST PLACES LIKELY TO SEE AT LEAST A BRIEF PERIOD
OF SUB-VFR VSBYS IN RAIN THIS EVENING. LATE TONIGHT AND INTO FRI
MORNING (AFTER 06Z)... COVERAGE OF RAIN AND ISOLATED STORMS WILL
DECREASE BUT IFR CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. CIGS SHOULD TREND
UP TO MVFR AFTER 14Z. SHOWER/STORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN
TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF VALID PERIOD.

LOOKING BEYOND 18Z FRI... HIGH CONFIDENCE IN SUB-VFR CONDITIONS
PERSISTING THROUGH MUCH OF FRI AFTERNOON AND THROUGH FRI NIGHT AS AN
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY CROSS THE
REGION. EXPECT A TREND TOWARD MAINLY VFR SAT... HOLDING INTO MON
WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD. SUB-VFR CONDITIONS AND
SHOWER/STORM CHANCES RETURN LATE MON INTO TUE AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW DIVES IN FROM THE NW. -GIH

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
