AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
955 PM EDT MON MAR 14 2016

.SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CROSS OUR REGION THROUGH
TONIGHT...BRINGING UNSETTLED WEATHER. A WEAK FRONTAL ZONE WILL HOVER
NEAR THE NORTH CAROLINA VIRGINIA BORDER THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...
BEFORE LIFTING NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A COLD
FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...STALL OUT
OVER THE CAROLINAS THROUGH THURSDAY...THEN PUSH TO OUR SOUTHEAST
THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1000 PM MONDAY...

LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CROSSING THE CWA THIS EVENING PRODUCING SEVERAL
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE TRIANGLE AREA AND CONTINUING TOWARDS THE
NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA. GOLF BALL HAIL AND VERY STRONG
WINDS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS. BASED ON
OBSERVATIONS THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER CAN BE SEEN IN BETWEEN
GREESBORO AND ASHEBORO AT THIS TIME. ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS WILL
SKIRT THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE CWA INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BUT
APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING AS IT COMES EAST. IN THE EAST...DEWPOINTS
HAVE REMAINED IN THE LOW 60S...GIVING A BOOST TO THE INSTABILITY IN
THESE AREAS...WHEREAS DEWPOINTS IN THE NW PIEDMONT ARE IN THE LOW
50S AND CONVECTION HAS HAD A HARDER TIME GETTING THROUGH A SMALL CAP
IN THE SOUNDING THERE. EXPECT CONVECTION TO CONTINUE EASTWARD INTO
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND EXIT THE CWA NEAR OR AROUND 6Z. LOWS
TONIGHT IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 155 PM MONDAY...

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...MID LEVEL S/W AND ATTENDANT SFC COLD
FRONT WILL EXIT OUR FAR EASTERN COUNTIES PRIOR TO
DAYBREAK...ALLOWING A S/W RIDGE TO CROSS OUR REGION. SUBSIDENCE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPPER FEATURE SHOULD RESULT IN MOSTLY SUNNY-
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. AIR MASS BEHIND THE FRONT IS OF PACIFIC ORIGIN
AND WITH DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT OF THE LOW LEVEL FLOW...TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR MID MARCH. HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD VARY FROM THE MID 70S FAR NE WHERE CLOUDS WILL BE LAST TO
DEPART...TO THE LOWER 80S SOUTH. CONTINUED MILD TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
MIN TEMPS 55-60.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...S/W RIDGE MOVES EAST EARLY WEDNESDAY
WHILE A DEEP UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES
BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILTED. THIS WILL FORCE A SFC COLD FRONT TO SWING
ACROSS CENTRAL NC WEDNESDAY. WESTERLY FLOW PROCEEDING THE FRONT WILL
LIMIT MOISTURE ADVECTION; THUS...EXPECT THE FRONT TO CROSS CENTRAL
NC DRY THOUGH AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT
IN THE EAST CONSIDERING THE TIME OF DAY THAT THE FRONT IS CROSSING
THE REGION. IF THE FASTER GFS/NAM SOLUTION VERIFIES...850MB TROUGH
EXITS THE REGION BY EARLY AFTERNOON. WHILE LOW LEVEL CAA EXPECTED
BEHIND THIS FEATURE...DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT OF THE FLOW WILL INITIALLY
OFFSET/LIMIT THE COLD AIR.  WITH THICKNESSES COMPARABLE TO THE PAST
FEW DAYS...AND LOW LEVEL SW-WESTERLY FLOW FACTORED IN...EXPECT HIGH
TEMPS TO REACH THE 80-85 DEGREE RANGE ACROSS THE REGION. THESE
VALUES ARE JUST A COUPLE OF DEGREES SHY OF THE RECORD HIGH TEMPS FOR
MARCH 16TH. MIN TEMPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT GENERALLY IN THE LOW-MID 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 155 PM MONDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE BEGINS TO WANE THIS PERIOD AS UPPER AIR PATTERN
OVER THE EASTERN U.S. UNDER GOES A CHANGE.

A SERIES OF S/W AND ATTENDANT SFC COLD FRONTS WILL CROSS THE REGION
THU AND FRIDAY. GFS HAS TRENDED WETTER WITH THE LEAD S/W AND SFC
FRONT THOUGH THIS MAY BE OVERDONE CONSIDERING MOISTURE ADVECTION
LIMITED DUE TO WLY FLOW. STILL COULD SEE A BAND OF CLOUDINESS AND
POSSIBLY A SHOWER OR TWO ON THU. NOTICEABLY COOLER AIR WILL
OVERSPREAD THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY AS A DRY
AIR RIDGE BUILDS/EXTENDS ACROSS THE REGION.

THIS SFC RIDGE WILL DRIFT OFFSHORE LATE SATURDAY WHILE A MID-UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH UNDERGOES AMPLIFICATION OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. S/W
TROUGHS ROTATING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH EXPECTED TO
INDUCE SFC LOW GENERATION OVER THE DEEP SOUTH/NORTHERN GULF COAST
SATURDAY...LIFTING ACROSS THE SE U.S. SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING A DECENT ROUND OF RAIN TO THE
CAROLINAS. WILL LIKELY SEE COOLER/SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPS OCCUR
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AS SFC PATTERN SIGNALS THE POTENTIAL FOR A
HYBRID OR INSITU DAMMING EVENT.  THE UPPER TROUGH EXPECTED TO CROSS
THE CAROLINAS MONDAY...BRINGING AN END TO THE RAIN THREAT.

TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL TRENDED DOWNWARD...STARTING OUT IN THE
70S THURSDAY...60S FRIDAY...AND 50S/LOWER 60S SATURDAY/SUNDAY...AND
50S MONDAY. OVERNIGHT TEMPS IN THE 40S EXPECTED WITH 30S POSSIBLE
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM MONDAY...

24-HOUR TAF PERIOD: AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES OVER THE
REGION...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE...SOME
RESULTING IN DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL. CURRENT STORMS LOOK TO
MOST IMMEDIATELY IMPACT KRDU AND EVENTUALLY KRWI...HOWEVER THE
ADDITIONAL STORMS COMING INTO CENTRAL NC WILL PARTICULARLY AFFECT
KINT/KGSO WITH A SLIGHTLY LOWER THREAT AT FAY. THIS SECOND ROUND OF
STORMS SHOULD SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS EVENING...
EXITING OUR NORTHEAST BY APPROXIMATELY 06Z. SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO
CLEAR OUT FROM SW TO NE LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUE MORNING (FROM 08Z
TO 16Z)...ALTHOUGH A BRIEF PERIOD OF LOW-END VFR TO MVFR CIGS/VISBYS
ARE POSSIBLE BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z...PARTICULARLY WHERE RAIN HAS
FALLEN. SURFACE WINDS MAY CONTINUE TO BE VARIABLE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WITH THE FRONT LINGERING...HOWEVER
THEY SHOULD BECOME MAINLY WNW OR NW OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE DAY
TUESDAY. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD. -KC

LOOKING AHEAD: VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO HOLD THROUGH SAT. THERE
IS A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS ALONG THE STALLED FRONT LATE WED NIGHT
THROUGH THU AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKS ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH
OUR AREA... BUT ANY SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WOULD BE
BRIEF. -GIH
