Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
245 PM EDT Sat Jul 8 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will approach central NC from the northwest this
afternoon, moving across the region this evening. The front
will stall near the coast overnight through Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /Through Tonight/...
As of 245 PM EDT Saturday...

The mid level shear axis and its accompanying surface front will be
moving across the moiuntains into the northwest Piedmont in the next
couple of hours. Have had ample time to heat up ahead of the system
and expect to see a rapid increase in convective coverage in the
northwest by 20Z, with more widely scattered, diurnally driven
convection popping up in the southeast where deeper moisture is
available. The window of more strongly forced convection will be ~3
hours, with the window reaching the US1 corridor around 22Z and into
the southeast an hour or two later. Downbursts will be the primary
severe threat with stronger storms tapping DCAPE of >1k Joules,
strongest in the southeastern quadrant where the deeper moisture
lies. Weak shear, very high freezing level, and progressive movement
will minimize other severe threats.

The front will move southeast of the area, with convection ending
over all but the southern coastal plain and eastern sandhills, by
around midnight. The front will slow or stall near the southern
coast, maintaining a slight chance of showers in the far southeast
for the remainder of the overnight. Behind the front, clearing will
be progressive from the northwest. Overnight mins will range from
the mid 60s northwest to the lower 70s southeast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /Sunday and Sunday Night/...
As of 245 PM EDT Saturday...

The surface front will remain stalled in the far southeast on Sunday
into Sunday night and will thus be the main focus for scattered
diurnally driven convection in the afternoon into evening. Outside
of the far southeast, expect mostly sunny skies with tolerable highs
in the 85 to 90 range. Mins Sunday night will be mostly upper 60s to
lower 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...
As of 230 PM EDT Saturday...

The frontal system will continue to linger south of the forecast
area on Monday. While there is a possibility this boundary will
retrograde to the north, convection should be confined to the
extreme southeastern counties. By Tuesday the upper trough begins to
flatten out and become very zonal. As a result the surface storm
track will stay well to our north as a low pressure system moves
through the Great Lakes and into New England. This pattern will keep
central NC under high pressure with surface boundaries and diurnal
heating being the only real forcing for convection. Temperatures
will rise into the low to possibly mid 90s in most locations Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday with lows staying in the 70s.

The pattern begins to change on Friday as a second low pressure
system moves across the northeast but then is blocked by high
pressure in the North Atlantic. This will will cause the upper level
trough to deepen once again and push the surface low, and its
attendant front southward. This will increase rain chances for the
end of the week but should help cool off temperatures as cloud cover
increases. Highs by Saturday should moderate back into the upper 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Saturday through Wednesday/...
As of 135 PM EDT Saturday...

VFR conditions will predominate through the 24 hour TAF period.
Diurnally driven convection will be enhanced this afternoon through
evening as a cold front moves southeast across central NC. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms with the potential for producing strong
gusty winds are expected to blossom in the northwest (GSO/INT areas)
from 20-00Z and accompany the front as it moves through. The eastern
TAF sites will have a 3-4 hour window of convection as well, from
~22Z to 03Z.

The threat for scattered convection will diminish after 03Z tonight
as the front moves southeast of the area, where it will stall and
linger near the coast through Sunday. Convection will be focused in
the frontal zone Sunday, perhaps impacting the FAY and RWI sites
during the afternoon/evening.

A drier, more stable air mass expected to settle across central NC
Monday through Wednesday, maintaining a period of VFR conditions.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
