AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
313 PM EST WED FEB 03 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE CAROLINAS FROM THE WEST
THIS AFTERNOON...CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...THEN STALL ALONG THE
COAST ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1245 PM WEDNESDAY...

TEMPERATURES: EXPECT HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...
COOLEST NW PIEDMONT AND WARMEST SE COASTAL PLAIN...WITH TEMPS
LARGELY DRIVE BY GUSTY SOUTHEAST FLOW (WARM ADVECTION EMANATING FROM
THE ATLANTIC). LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE DRIVEN BY NOCTURNAL COOLING AND
EVAP COOLING ASSOC/W WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IN MOST LOCATIONS...
EXCEPT IN THE NW PIEDMONT WHERE COLD ADVECTION SHOULD CONTRIBUTE
PRIOR TO SUNRISE THU AS THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT FINALLY PROGRESSES
EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID/UPPER 40S NW TO
MID/UPPER 50S SE.

PRECIPITATION: ASIDE FROM OCCASIONAL SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH WARM
ADVECTION THIS MORNING AS THE 925 MB WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD INTO
VA...PRIMARILY IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT...DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD
OTHERWISE PREVAIL THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE SHALLOW NOCTURNAL
INVERSION (ENHANCED BY LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION OVERNIGHT) OVER
CENTRAL NC IS RAPIDLY SUPPLANTED BY A HOMOGENEOUS WARM SECTOR...AS
ALREADY EVIDENCED BY GUSTY SOUTH WINDS AND EROSION OF FOG/LOW
CEILINGS PER 15Z OBSERVATIONS. THE SW-NE ORIENTED LINE OF CONVECTION
CURRENTLY UPSTREAM OF THE REGION HAS OUTRUN LOW-LEVEL FORCING
ATTENDANT THE COLD FRONT PROGRESSING EAST TOWARD THE MOUNTAINS...
EFFECTIVELY STRANDING ITSELF (TEMPORARILY) IN DEEP SOUTHWEST (LINE-
PARALLEL) FLOW ALOFT OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS WHERE RICH
MOISTURE ADVECTION AND OROGRAPHIC ASCENT ON THE EASTERN SLOPES OF
THE APPALACHIANS HAVE AIDED IN MAINTAINING IT. EXPECT THIS FEATURE
TO RESUME PROGRESSING TO THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON  AS THE LOW-LEVEL
TROUGH PREVIOUSLY LEFT BEHIND 'CATCHES UP' AND BEGINS TO SHIFT THE
FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT (SFC-92 MB CONVERGENCE) INTO THE
FOOTHILLS AND WESTERN PIEDMONT BETWEEN 18-21Z...THE HWY 1
CORRIDOR BETWEEN 21-00Z...AND THE COASTAL PLAIN AFTER 00Z.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER: THE SPC INDICATES A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE
STORMS OVER CENTRAL NC TODAY. DESPITE AN UNSEASONAL RICH AIRMASS
/WARM SECTOR/ CHARACTERIZED BY DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S...
PERVASIVE CLOUD COVER AND DEEP MOISTURE /MOIST ADIABATIC LAPSE
RATES/ WILL SIGNIFICANTLY HAMPER DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION... LIMITING
MLCAPE TO 250-500 J/KG AT BEST (IN SOUTH/SE)...THOUGH MORE LIKELY IN
THE 100-250 J/KG RANGE. WITH UPPER LEVEL FORCING LARGELY ABSENT
ASIDE FROM SMALL AMPLITUDE WAVES /TRANSIENT DPVA/ IN SW FLOW
ALOFT...FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL BE CONFINED TO WEAK/SHALLOW
CONVERGENCE ASSOC/W THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH OR MESOSCALE BAROCLINIC
ZONE (INTERFACE BETWEEN THE SLOW MOVING CONVECTIVE LINE AND ADJACENT
WARM SECTOR). GIVEN MARGINAL THERMODYNAMICS...LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
UPPER FORCING /DPVA/ (NO SIG. LAYER-LIFTING)...WEAK/SHALLOW LOW-
LEVEL FORCING...LINE-PARALLEL ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW...AND WEAK
DCAPE...FEW FACTORS REMAIN TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER IN
CENTRAL NC THIS AFT/EVE. OF THOSE FEW...THE 50 KT SOUTHERLY LOW-
LEVEL JET IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT
ONE...ESP WHEN DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSPORT NEED ONLY TO OCCUR FROM
~2500 FT AGL TO THE GROUND. CHARLOTTE RECENTLY REPORTED A 42 KNOT
(48 MPH) SUB-SEVERE WIND GUST (KNOCKING DOWN SEVERAL TREES) WITHIN
A NARROW CONVECTIVE LINE ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SW-NE
ORIENTED BAND OF PRECIP PROGRESSING EAST TOWARD CENTRAL NC...AND
SPORADIC GUSTS OF SIMILAR MAGNITUDE (ALONG WITH A FEW DOWNED TREES)
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ASSOC/W THE DEEPER UPDRAFTS (20+ KFT)...
PRIMARILY SOUTH OF HWY 64. HEAVY RAINFALL AND ISOLD FLASH FLOODING
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE...PRIMARILY IN URBAN AREAS...GIVEN
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FAVORING HEAVY SLOW-MOVING PRECIP (I.E.
TRAINING CONVECTION). -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 310 PM WEDNESDAY...

PRECIP SHOULD BE ONGOING TO START THE DAY ON THURSDAY AS THE COLD
FRONT SLOWLY INCHES TO THE EAST. THE FRONT WILL NOT COMPLETELY CLEAR
THE AREA UNTIL EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WHEN A KICKER WAVE MOVES THROUGH
THE REGION. IN FACT IT LOOKS LIKE PRECIP MAY HOLD ON SLIGHTLY LONGER
INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS SEVERAL WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TRACK ALONG THE
FRONT FURTHER SLOWING DOWN ITS EASTWARD PROGRESSION. WITH THIS IN
MIND...PRECIP CHANCES WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA DURING THE
DAY ON THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH THE BEST CHANCES AND HIGHEST QPF VALUES
WILL BE ACROSS THE EAST. RAIN CHANCES WILL THEN SLOWLY DIMINISH FROM
WEST TO EAST THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT ON THURSDAY...BUT PORTIONS OF THE
NORTHEASTERN/EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL LIKELY SEE RAIN
INTO THE FIRST HALF OF FRIDAY MORNING. RAIN WILL FINALLY MOVE OUT OF
THE BY LATE FRIDAY MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT IS PUSHED
OFFSHORE. COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN WITH THE FRONT...WITH HIGHS IN THE
50S/LOWER 60S ON THURSDAY AND EVEN COOLER BY FRIDAY ONCE THE FRONT
FINALLY PUSHES WELL OFFSHORE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
REGION. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD BE IN THE 40S/LOW 50S... WITH OVERNIGHT
LOWS IN THE 20S/LOWER 30S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 310 PM WEDNESDAY...

PRECIP WILL LIKELY RETURN TO THE REGION BY SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY (CONSIDERABLY EARLIER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS) AS A DEEP UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH DIGS INTO THE SOUTHEAST US AND INDUCES A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVES UP THE COAST. MODELS HAVE COME INTO SOMEWHAT
BETTER AGREEMENT...THUS CONFIDENCE (IN AT LEAST PRECIP COVERAGE) IS
SLOWLY INCREASING. PRECIP SHOULD MOVE BACK INTO THE EASTERN PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH LATE SUNDAY.
WHERE LOWER CONFIDENCE EXISTS IS WHETHER OR NOT P-TYPE WILL BE AN
ISSUE. AT THIS TIME...GIVEN THE LOW LEVEL THICKNESS PROFILES...WILL
INTRODUCE RAIN AND/OR SNOW AT BOTH THE ONSET LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY AND THEN AGAIN AS IT PULLS OUT SUNDAY NIGHT.

ANOTHER EVEN DEEPER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DIG DOWN INTO THE
EASTERN CONUS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. THIS WILL BRING
DOWN SOME ARCTIC AIR OUT OF CANADA...WITH THE AREA SEEING HIGHS IN
THE 30S AND 40S AND LOWS IN THE 20S. CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW WITH
RESPECT TO HOW THIS WILL ULTIMATELY EVOLVE...THEREFORE WILL NOT PUT
A LOT OF DETAIL IN THE PRECIP FORECAST. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE ARCTIC
AIR THAT WILL BE IN PLACE...P-TYPE ISSUES COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A
PROBLEM FOR NEXT WEEK. STAY TUNED.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM WEDNESDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD: ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL
TERMINALS THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE TAF PERIOD IN ASSOC/W A LINE
OF CONVECTION IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. HAZARDS
INCLUDE NON-CONVECTIVE SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 15G30KT THIS AFTERNOON...
AND A PRE-FRONTAL LINE OF CONVECTION WITH IFR/MVFR CEILINGS/VISBYS
AND A POTENTIAL FOR SPORADIC CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS UP TO 35-45 KNOTS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CONDITIONS MAY BEGIN TO IMPROVE AT TRIAD
TERMINALS BETWEEN 06-12Z AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AT 5-10 KT
AND A DRIER AIRMASS SLOWLY ADVECTS INTO WESTERN NC IN THE WAKE OF
THE COLD FRONT. AT EASTERN TERMINALS...THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL
OCCUR MUCH LATER...ESP AT FAY/RWI. EXPECT ADVERSE CONDITIONS IN SOME
FORM TO PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHT AT RDU...AND INTO THURSDAY AT THE
FAY/RWI TERMINALS WHERE THE FRONT WILL SLOW IN PROGRESS AND PERHAPS
TEMPORARILY STALL.

LOOKING AHEAD: FORECAST CONFIDENCE DECREASES DRAMATICALLY THU-MON.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SUB-VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST AT EASTERN TERMINALS
THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY A SHORT PERIOD OF VFR
CONDITIONS EVERYWHERE ON SAT. SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE CONDITIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THOUGH UNCERTAINTY IS MUCH
HIGHER THAN TYPICAL...EVEN FOR THAT RANGE IN THE FORECAST. -VINCENT
