AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
350 AM EDT SAT APR 9 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
THE LAST IN A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING...FOLLOWED BY ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE TONIGHT. MEANWHILE...
WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY ALONG WITH LOW MINIMUM RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM SATURDAY...
RED FLAG WARNING AND WIND ADVISORY TODAY...FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT.
A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN ARE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO 305MPH OR SO THIS MORNING GIVEN
CONTINUED STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND A DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL DEPART THE CWA IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
HOURS...WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A PERIOD OF CLEARING THIS
MORNING.
MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT TO THE WEST...STRETCHING FROM
CLEVELAND THROUGH LEXINGTON KY WILL SURGE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
AREA BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z AS THE LAST IN A SERIES OF UPPER
DISTURBANCES ROTATES THROUGH THE LONGWAVE TROUGH AND ACROSS VA
TODAY. STRONG WINDS WILL ACCOMPANYING THE INITIAL COLD
ADVECTION...WITH GUIDANCE INDICATING 24-28KT SUSTAINED
WIND...STRONGEST IN THE EAST THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. RAPIDLY
DEEPENING MIXING SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN FREQUENT WIND GUSTS INTO
THE MID 30S AND A FEW GUSTS MAY REACH 40KT. THE GRADIENT IS A
LITTLE WEAKER TO THE SOUTHWEST...AND SO A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE
ISSUED FOR ALL BUT THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT THROUGH THIS
EVENING...THOUGH WINDS MAY EVENTUALLY WEAKEN ENOUGH TO HAVE IT
CANCELED BY MID AFTERNOON.
THE RED FLAG WARNING THAT IS ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR TODAY WILL
CONTINUE WITH LITTLE CHANGE TO FIRE WEATHER PARAMETERS... RH IN
THE 20-25 PERCENT RANGE AND THE AFOREMENTIONED STRONG WEST-
NORTHWEST WIND.
DEEP MIXING TO WELL ABOVE 850MB SUPPORTS HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S TO
MID 50S...WITH DOWNSLOPE FLOW OFFSETTING SOME OF THE COLD
ADVECTION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY THIS EVENING
AND OVERHEAD AFTER MIDNIGHT....RESULTING IN STRONG RADIATIONAL
COOLING UNDER CLEAR SKIES. H10-H85 THICKNESSES IN THE 1280-1290M
RANGE BY SUNDAY MORNING SUPPORTS LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 20S. HIGH
CLOUDS APPROACHING FROM THE DEEP SOUTH LATE TONIGHT DONT LOOK LIKE
THE THEY WILL REACH THE CAROLINAS NOR BE THICK ENOUGH TO HAVE ANY
IMPACT ON COOLING. THE ONLY POSSIBLE ARGUMENT AGAINST IDEAL
COOLING IS THE LATE ARRIVAL OF THE CENTER OF THE HIGH AND THE
FACT THAT FORECAST SOUNDINGS DONT SHOW MUCH DECOUPLING OF THE
BOUNDARY LAYER UNTIL VERY LATE. NONETHELESS....FORECAST HIGHS
FULLY SUPPORT THE INEVITABLE UPGRADE OF THE FREEZE WATCH TO A
WARNING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM SATURDAY...
THE UPPER TROUGH WILL QUICKLY DEPART TO THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY AND
THE COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE...ALLOW RETURN TO
DEVELOP THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. GUIDANCE LOOKS A LITTLE TOO WARM
GIVEN SUB-1300M H10-H85 THICKNESSES SUNDAY MORNING AND LATE
DEVELOPMENT OF RETURN FLOW...SO WILL KEEP HIGHS A LITTLE UNDER
STATISTICAL GUIDANCE IN THE 53-57 RANGE. A LOW AMPLITUDE
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH SHOULD BRING SOME MID-CLOUDS
ACROSS THE WEST LATE SUNDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...BUT ALL
ASSOCIATED SHOWERS (NOTED MAINLY INT HE NAM AND ECMWF) STAY TO OUR
NORTHWEST. LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT LOWER 40S.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 320 PM FRIDAY...
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY: SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
OFFSHORE ON MONDAY... YIELDING A WARMING RETURN FLOW. MID/UPPER
LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO GENERALLY REMAIN WESTERLY THROUGH THE
PERIOD... WITH DRY WEATHER AND ONLY SOME HIGH CLOUDS FROM TIME TO
TIME EXPECTED. THUS... DESPITE STARTING OFF IN THE 20S ON SUNDAY
MORNING... EXPECT WE WILL SEE TEMPS CLIMB INTO THE 50S FOR HIGHS ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON... WITH PERHAPS EVEN A FEW LOCATIONS REACHING THE
60S. LOWS MONDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 13-15 DEGREES
WARMER OR SO THAN SUNDAY MORNING... GENERALLY AROUND 40. TEMP MONDAY
WITH CONTINUED SOUTHERLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
SHOULD WARM INTO THE 70S BY MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR HIGHS.
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY: THE DEEP EAST COAST TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
RELOAD NEXT WEEK... HELPING TO LEAD AN ASSORTMENT OF SOUTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVES ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST U.S. NEXT WEEK. THIS
SHOULD LEAD TO A COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY...
YIELDING A GOOD CHANCES OF SHOWERS WITH PERHAPS A FEW STORMS.
HOWEVER... INSTABILITY LOOKS QUITE WEAK... SO WILL LEAVE THUNDER OUT
FOR NOW. THE FRONT WILL MOVE TO THE EAST OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY
NIGHT... WITH A 1030+ SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE
AREA... WHICH IS EXPECTED TO LINGER/EXTEND INTO OUR AREA THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER... THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN
WITH ADDITIONAL S/W ENERGY IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM AND WILL IT CLOSE
OFF INTO MID LEVEL LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. THE LATEST GFS
IS PROGRESSIVE WITH THIS FEATURE... WHILE THE ECMWF HAS TRENDED AWAY
FROM THE A CLOSED LOW... BUT STILL DIFFERS CONSIDERABLY FROM THE
GFS. WITH THAT SAID... AFTER A DRY DAY ON WEDNESDAY WILL GO WITH A
LOW POPS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK... WHICH IS TRENDING IN THE DRIER
DIRECTION... WITH THE MAIN STORM TRACK TO OUR SOUTH. AFTER TUESDAY
TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO RUN BELOW NORMAL... WITH COOL HIGH PRESSURE
EXTENDING INTO THE AREA.

.AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 135 AM SATURDAY...
AN AREA OF LIGHT SHOWERS MOVING EAST BETWEEN KGSO AND KRDU IS
PRODUCING WIND GUSTS OF UP TO 40MPH GIVEN VERY DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER
AIR. THESE WILL MOVE NEAR KRDU AND KRWI BETWEEN 06Z AND
08Z...THOUGH CEILINGS AND VSBYS WILL REMAIN VFR. WINDS WILL DIE DOWN
EVERYWHERE AFTER 09Z...BUT THEN INCREASE TODAY WITH WESTERLY
SUSTAINED VALUES OF 20-25KT AND GUSTS TO AS HIGH AS 40KT. WINDS
SHOULD BE STRONGEST IN THE EAST (KRDU/KRWI/KFAY) THIS MORNING IN
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...BECOMING NEARLY CALM TONIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD HOLD THROUGH MONDAY BUT A FRONTAL
SYSTEM FROM THE WEST WILL MOST LIKELY PRODUCE SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ON
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE AND VFR RETURNS FOR
WEDNESDAY.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
AS OF 435 PM FRIDAY...
A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES
AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST WILL CREATE
WINDY CONDITIONS TODAY. GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH WILL BE
COMMON. IN ADDITION....THESE WINDS WILL ALSO ADVECT A MUCH DRIER AIR
MASS INTO THE REGION AS MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BOTTOM OUT BETWEEN 20-25 PERCENT. THESE CONDITIONS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH DRY FINE FUELS WILL CREATE DANGEROUS FIRE BEHAVIOR
CONDITIONS. PER COORDINATION WITH THE NC FORESTRY SERVICE...A RED FLAG
WARNING IS IN EFFECT TODAY.
