AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
335 PM EST SUN JAN 4 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH CENTRAL NC THIS
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT MARKING THE LEADING EDGE OF AN ARCTIC
AIR MASS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY EVENING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM SUNDAY...

CHALLENGING TEMPERATURE FORECAST. FURTHER EROSION OF THE REMNANT
COLD AIR DAMMING WEDGE OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT HAS BEEN DELAYED BY
THE SW-NE ORIENTED LINE OF SHOWERS ADVANCING EASTWARD WELL AHEAD OF
THE SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT. THE MODIFIED CAD WEDGE IS EXPECTED TO
'SLOSH' EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON IN CONCERT WITH SHOWER ACTIVITY DUE
TO RELATIVE TIGHTENING OF THE MSLP GRADIENT BETWEEN THE 'BUBBLE
HIGH' ASSOC/W THE MODIFIED WEDGE TO THE WEST AND PRESSURE FALLS
ASSOC/W INSOLATION IN THE WARM SECTOR TO THE EAST. THIS MAY RESULT
IN A FAUX COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ALONG THE HWY 1 CORRIDOR (ESP NORTH
OF HWY 64) DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS FAUX COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD BE LESS NOTICEABLE SOUTH OF HWY 64 WHERE
STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW /WARM ADVECTION/ WILL ACTIVELY ERODE
THE MODIFIED WEDGE AIRMASS FROM THE SOUTH. WITH THE ABOVE IN MIND...
EXPECT HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S WEST OF HWY 1 AND
NORTH OF HWY 64...TO THE LOWER/MID 70S EAST OF HWY 1 AND SOUTH OF
HWY 64.

ELEVATED CONVECTION ADVANCING TOWARD THE HWY 1 CORRIDOR /WARM
SECTOR/ HAS INCREASED IN INTENSITY THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...PERHAPS
DUE TO ADDED FORCING FOR ASCENT FROM MCV-LIKE FEATURES OR WAVES
PROGRESSING THROUGH THE WESTERN PIEDMONT (PER REGIONAL RADAR)...WARM
ADVECTION ATOP THE MODIFIED CAD WEDGE...AND INCREASING INSTABILITY
IN CLOSER VICINITY TO THE WARM SECTOR. A FURTHER INCREASE IN
CONVECTIVE INTENSITY APPEARS LIKELY AS CONVECTION PROGRESSES
EASTWARD INTO THE WARM SECTOR...DRIVEN BY LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE
BETWEEN THE MODIFIED WEDGE/WARM SECTOR. ONCE THIS LINE PROGRESSES
EASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NC...CONFIDENCE DECREASES SUBSTANTIALLY
WITH REGARD TO WHETHER OR NOT THE MODIFIED WEDGE WILL ERODE AND
ALLOW A SECONDARY WARM SECTOR TO DEVELOP PRIOR TO THE SYNOPTIC COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS EVENING...AND WHETHER OR NOT RENEWED CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT. DESPITE FAVORABLE
THERMODYNAMICS IN THE COASTAL PLAIN THIS AFTERNOON...WEAK UPPER
LEVEL FORCING /DPVA/ AND DRY AIR ALOFT WILL ACT TO TEMPER ONGOING
CONVECTIVE INTENSITY. AS A RESULT...THE SVR WX POTENTIAL THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE CONFINED TO AN ISOLD INSTANCE OF DAMAGING WINDS
ATTENDANT THE DEEPEST UPDRAFTS ALONG/EAST OF I-95 BETWEEN 1-6 PM AS
THE ONGOING LINE PROGRESSES INTO THE UNSEASONABLY RICH/WELL
ESTABLISHED WARM SECTOR OVER EASTERN NC. ALTHOUGH MORE SIGNIFICANT
SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL GRAZE NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE STATE LATER
TODAY AS THS SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT APPROACHES...WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES AND WEAKER THERMODYNAMICS (ASSUMING A SECONDARY WARM SECTOR
EVEN DEVELOPS) SHOULD PRECLUDE A SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH THE COLD
FRONT THIS EVENING.

MONDAY: COOL AND DRY BEHIND THE FRONT. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 240 PM SUNDAY...

THIS WILL BE A TRANSITION PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY ON MONDAY EVENING SHIFTS OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST BY
TUESDAY MORNING. A FAST MOVING SHORT WAVE TROUGH WITH AN ASSOCIATED
WEAK SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND THEN OFFSHORE
TUESDAY EVENING. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH CENTRAL
NC TUESDAY EVENING WITH COLD ADVECTION COMMENCING OVERNIGHT. THE
AIR MASS OVER CENTRAL NC WILL BE QUITE DRY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES REMAINING BELOW 0.5 INCHES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. AT THIS
POINT ONLY SOME INCREASE IN MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS IS EXPECTED
DURING THE PERIOD WITH NO POPS.

TEMPERATURES MONDAY NIGHT WILL BE CHILLY AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE OVERHEAD PROMOTING GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING.
LOWS WILL RANGE IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S. TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY
WILL REBOUND INTO THE 51-58 RANGE WITH SOME DECENT WARM ADVECTION
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING TROUGH. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE 29-
35 RANGE ON TUESDAY NIGHT AS WINDS BECOME NORTHWESTERLY AND COLD
ADVECTION BEGINS TO RAMP UP. -BLAES
&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 335 PM SUNDAY...

...COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON WILL ARRIVE IN CENTRAL NC FOR WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY...

THE UPPER AIR PATTERN FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD WILL FEATURE A
BROAD HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS EASTERN NORTH AMERICA.
THE PATTERN WILL FEATURE CROSS POLAR FLOW WHICH WILL DRIVE AN ARCTIC
AIRMASS INTO THE REGION.

COLD ADVECTION WILL BE RAMPING UP ON WEDNESDAY WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES
FALLING INTO THE -15 TO -20 DEGREE RANGE BY LATE AFTERNOON. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY RANGE IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S. WITH DEEP
MIXING EXPECT BLUSTERY CONDITIONS WITH WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH AND GUSTS
TO NEAR 30 MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON PRODUCING WIND CHILLS THAT AT TIMES
WILL FALL INTO THE 20S.

A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE TROUGH PROVIDING A REINFORCING SHOT OF ARCTIC
AIR WILL APPROACH THE REGION WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND SWING THROUGH
THE CAROLINAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM LARGELY IN THE FORM OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS. SOME
GUIDANCE...MAINLY THE OPERATIONAL GFS AND A COUPLE OF GFS MEMBERS
PRODUCE SOME SPOTTY PRECIPITATION...THE VAST MAJORITY OF GUIDANCE
IS DRY AND GIVEN THE PATTERN WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL FEATURE THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON
AS A 1050+ MB HIGH SLIDES INTO THE MIDWEST AND EXTENDS INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC. MORNING THICKNESS VALUES ON TUESDAY MORNING FALL INTO THE
1220-1230M RANGE AND GUIDANCE SUGGEST LOWS WELL INTO THE TEENS. THE
ECMWF ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE FOR MORNING LOWS ON THURSDAY FROM 00Z
PROVIDES A MEAN OF 3 DEGREES FOR GSO AND 8 FOR RDU. NOT READY TO GO
THAT COLD WITH MIXING AND THE WINDS STAYING UP BUT HAVE LOWERED
FORECAST LOWS A COUPLE OF DEGREES INTO THE 10-16 RANGE.  THURSDAY
WILL BE QUITE COLD WITH TEMPERATURES LIKELY REMAINING BELOW FREEZING
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HIGHS WILL RANGE IN THE 27-31 DEGREE RANGE.

THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH RELAXES ON FRIDAY AND BECOMES WESTERLY ON
SATURDAY AND SOUTHWESTERLY ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHT
MODERATING TREND WITH TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT LOWS AND
A GENERAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION. THE UPPER FLOW
BECOMES INCREASINGLY SOUTHERLY AND MOIST LATE SUNDAY SUPPORTING AN
OVERRUNNING PATTERN WITH HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. HAVE
INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR LATE SUNDAY BUT KEPT THE PRECIPITATION
ALL LIQUID AT THIS TIME. THE OPERATIONAL GFS MAINTAINS A STRONGER
HIGH TO OUR NORTH WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY SUPPORT AT LEAST A BRIEF
ICING SCENARIO BUT THERES A LOT OF SPREAD IN THE GEFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS SO WONT BITE ON THAT SCENARIO NOW BUT IT WILL BE WORTH
MONITORING. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW AVERAGE FOR FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 40S. MORNING LOWS IN
THE LOWER TO MID 20S ON FRIDAY WILL MODERATE INTO THE LOWER TO MID
30S BY SUNDAY MORNING. -BLAES
&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM SUNDAY...

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR AND EVENTUALLY VFR THIS EVENING INTO
TONIGHT (00-06Z) IN ASSOC/W A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FROM THE
WEST...WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST/NW AT 10-15 KT GUSTING UP TO
20 KT. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT ON
MONDAY.

LOOKING AHEAD: VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE WEEK. -VINCENT
