AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
340 PM EDT THU APR 28 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A FRONTAL ZONE WILL REMAIN STALLED TO THE NORTH AND
NORTHEAST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL
SAG SOUTH INTO THE REGION AS A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT
AND WILL QUICKLY RETURN NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT LATE SATURDAY
AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM THURSDAY...

CURRENTLY CENTRAL NC IS CURRENTLY IN A CONVECTIVE LULL...OWING TO
PRONOUNCED DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE MID/UPPER LEVEL
SHEAR AXIS THAT CROSSED AREA THIS MORNING. HOWEVER WARM SECTOR
DESTABILIZATION OF 1500-2000 J/KG MLCAPE...ALONG THE QUASI-
STATIONARY BOUNDARY EXTENDING ACROSS SOUTHERN VA/NORTHEAST NC SHOULD
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIFT TO INITIATE CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...WITH ADDITIONAL DOWNSTREAM STORM DEVELOPMENT AS A RESULT
OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. WILL KEEP POPS IN THE LIKELY TO
GOOD CHANCE RANGES...HIGHEST ACROSS THE NORTH NEAR THE FRONT.

STRENGTHENING WESTERLY H5 FLOW WILL IMPROVE SHEAR
VALUES TO 35 TO 40KTS...FAVORABLE FOR MULTICELLS WITH ONE OR TWO
SEVERE CLUSTERS POSSIBLE. MAIN THREAT WILL DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM
WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL.

PRECIP CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY DECREASE FROM WEST-EAST
TONIGHT AS THE STORMS PUSH EAST AND OUT OF THE AREA AS DRIER AIR
SPREADS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST. LOWS TONIGHT RANGING FROM NEAR
60 NORTH TO MID 60S SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT /...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...

DOMINATED BY WEST-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND RISING
HEIGHTS/WARMING TEMPERATURES ALOFT AS SHORTWAVE RIDGING RE-EXERTS
ITSELF BACK OVER THE AREA...A DRY AND STABLE AIRMASS WILL PRECLUDE
ANY RAIN/CONVECTIVE CHANCES ON FRIDAY AS THE FRONT REMAINS STALLED
ACROSS THE AREA. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY...RANGING
FROM UPPER 70S NE TO MID 80S SOUTH.

THE FRONT IS FINALLY FORECAST TO SLIP SLOWLY SOUTH FRIDAY EVENING...
BUT NOT TOO FAR SOUTH...THIS TIME PROGGED TO BRIEFLY STALL ALONG THE
NC/SC STATE LINE ON SATURDAY. SLIGHTLY COOLER WITH LOWS IN THE
LOWER TO MID 50S NORTH TO UPPER 50S/NEAR 60 SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 340 PM THURSDAY...

A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL INITIALLY COVER THE LOWER 48
SATURDAY. THIS WILL TRANSITION TO AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN U.S. AND AN TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. FORECAST CONFIDENCE
IS LOWER THAN NORMAL DUE TO THIS TRANSITION AS MODELS USUALLY HAVING
DIFFICULTY RESOLVING WHICH PARTICULAR S/W WILL CAUSE AN ENHANCED
CHANCE OF PRECIP TO A GIVEN REGION.

SINCE WEDNESDAY...THE MODELS HAVE SPED UP THE RETURN FLOW OF
MOISTURE INTO CENTRAL NC SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE S/W
RIDGE SCOOTS QUICKLY EAST SATURDAY MORNING. THIS LOW LEVEL WARM AIR
ADVECTION COUPLED WITH A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL INCREASE
RAIN CHANCES SW-NE ACROSS CENTRAL NC SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT. WHILE A SHORT-LIVED HYBRID/INSITU DAMMING EVENT MAY
OCCUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON-SATURDAY EVENING... MODEL GUIDANCE NOW
SUGGESTING THAT A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY
NIGHT...PLACING CENTRAL NC SOLIDLY IN THE WARM SECTOR ON SUNDAY.
THUS HAVE ADJUSTED MAX TEMPS UP SEVERAL DEGREES FROM EARLIER
FORECAST AND BACKED SFC WINDS TO A SWLY DIRECTION.

S/W IN THE NORTHERN STREAM WILL DRAG A WEAK COLD FRONT ACROSS
CENTRAL NC LATE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...BRINGING ANOTHER THREAT
FIR SCATTERED CONVECTION. NELY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL ADVECT A COOLER
AND MORE STABLE AIR MASS TUESDAY LEADING TO PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER
AND COOLER DAYTIME TEMPS. -WSS

AMPLIFYING RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WILL ALLOW FOR A DIGGING
TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WITH A DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL FEATURE
TO OUR SOUTH.  GFS SHOWS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING
OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHERN FL ON TUE AFTERNOON.  ECMWF SHOWS A MUCH
STRONGER BUT MUCH SLOWER DEVELOPING DISTURBANCE OVER THE MS VALLEY.
WITH THE CURRENT PATTERN AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE ECMWF... THE GFS
SEEMS TO BE THE MORE REALISTIC SOLUTION AT THIS TIME ALTHOUGH
CONFIDENCE IS LOW. THE LOW WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AND MOVE NORTHWARD
ALONG THE COAST FOR WED NIGHT INTO THU. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS EASTERLY
AND NORTHEASTERLY WINDS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
THE WEATHER PATTERN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW COULD BRING SOME
ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE ALONG WITH INCREASE RAIN CHANCES FOR WED NIGHT
AND INTO THU MORNING WITH POPS TAPERING OFF AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES
NORTHEASTWARD. TEMPS ARE CURRENTLY FORECASTED TO BE 5 TO 8 BELOW
CLIMO ON WED WITH INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND MOISTURE ADVECTION OFF
OF THE ATLANTIC.  THE COLD AIR ADVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COULD
BE LIGHT ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO GET CLOSER TO CLIMO.
CLOUD COVER COULD LIMIT THE CURRENT FORECAST LOWS... HOWEVER GFS
SUGGESTS LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUING WED NIGHT. -JLB

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1PM THURSDAY...

24-HOUR TAF PERIOD: STRONG DAYTIME HEATING AND RESULTANT
DESTABILIZATION IN THE WARM SECTOR JUST SOUTH OF THE QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONTAL ZONE ACROSS NORTHEAST NC WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW OF THE STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
REACH SEVERE LIMITS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND
LARGE HAIL. THOUGH CONFIDENCE IN TIMING/LOCATION IS LOWER THAN
AVERAGE...EXPECT THAT NORTHERN TERMINALS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE
AFFECTED BY THE STRONGEST STORMS.

AS THE STORMS MOVE EAST OF THE AREA...AREAS OF STRATUS AND/OR FOG
WILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY FRIDAY MORNING(06 TO 12Z)...ESPECIALLY IN
AREAS THAT RECEIVE SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL. ANY LOW CLOUDS/STRATUS
SHOULD LIFT TO VFR BY MID MORNING WITH DRY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY WITH THE STALLED FRONT FINALLY FORECAST TO
PUSH SOUTH OF THE AREA FRIDAY EVENING.

LOOKING AHEAD: THE FRONT TO OUR SOUTH WILL QUICKLY RETURN AS A WARM
FRONT ON SATURDAY...BRINGING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND SUB-VFR
CEILINGS ON SATURDAY. WARM AND MOIST AIR ADVECTION IN ADVANCE
OF A SLOWING MOVING COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST WILL RESULT IN ADVERSE
AVIATION CONDITIONS WITH RAIN SHOWERS SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
