Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
225 PM EDT Fri Sep 1 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A stalled west to east frontal zone across central NC will lift
north as a warm front late tonight as Harvey's remnants track slowly
northeast into Ohio Valley. A cold front will move slowly west to
east through the area on Saturday. High pressure will build into the
area on Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1126 AM Friday...

... There is a enhanced threat of severe storms capable of producing
tornadoes mainly in areas just south of the Triad and Triangle
areas, including Albemarle, Wadesboro, Southern Pines, Sanford, and
Fayetteville... this afternoon and evening...

...Widespread rain/clouds should limit severe chances over the Triad
and the northern Piedmont and northern Coastal Plain...

The southward push of the cold front front is on track with a NELY
wind shift noted at KINT,KGSO,KIGX, KRDU and KRWI within the past
hour. This front is forecast to stall just south of the Triangle,
approximately south of US 64, with a wedge airmass developing
on the cold/north side of this front.

Meanwhile, GOES-16 visible imagery shows considerable breaks in
cloud cover across the south/southeastern NC, which with diabatic
heating/insolation will make this region ripe for moderate
destabilization later this afternoon.

A NEWD jog of Harvey's remnants into central/eastern TN and Kentucky
this evening will result in strengthening southwesterly low to mid-
level flow, with the latest RAP showing effective bulk shear
increasing from 40-50 kt(more than sufficient)to an impressive 60 to
65kts by the late afternoon and evening. Low-level kinematic fields
will be equally impressive, enhanced near the stalled frontal zone
with 0-1km helicity values of 200 to 300 ms-2. These
conditions/parameters will make area 10 to 20 miles on either side
of the stalled frontal zone favorable for severe storms, including
supercells that are capable of producing a tornado and damaging
thunderstorms winds. Once you get greater than >20-25 miles on the
north side of the boundary, the lack of instability will hinder
storm organization or keep the meso entirely elevated.

The severe threat could begin as early 2 to 4 pm, but the most
likely time is from 5 pm through midnight. As instability wanes,
both storm intensity and coverage should begin to wind down between
03 to 06z, with scattered and sub-severe convection through the
remainder of the night.

Additionally, storm total QPF of 1-2 inches appears likely, with
locally higher amounts, thus any flash flooding will be limited to
poor drainage areas such as urban areas.

Highs today will be dependent on the location of the front with a
sharp north-south temperature gradient expected across the area.
Highs ranging from upper 60s/near 70 across the NE Coastal Plain
to mid 80s southeast. Lows tonight ranging from lower to mid 60s
NW to lower 70s SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 245 AM Friday...

Showers and scattered thunderstorms should taper off early Saturday
to some extent; however, models are slower with the main cold front
Saturday afternoon and evening over central NC. We will have to
trend POP back up again to account for the likelihood of more showers
and thunderstorms to redevelop until the front pushes through late
day or early evening. Plan on 40-50 POP west and likely in the
central and east. Additional QPF of 0.50 to 1 inch east, with less
than 0.25 west. Highs dependent on breaks and extent of showers, but
lower 80s appear reasonable, except 75-80 west and north Piedmont.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 335 AM Friday...

Whats left of the remnants of Harvey will lift north and
northeastward of the area on Sunday, with any fleeting chances of
showers/storms ending by daybreak Sunday. Dry weather is expected
through Tuesday morning as surface high pressure builds into and
across the area. A deep mid/upper level trough is expected to
develop by midweek across the eastern half of the country, with a
surface cold front moving into central NC by Wednesday, yielding a
good chance of showers and storms, with the potential for heavy
rain. The front is expected to stall or slowly move across the area
through Thursday, resulting in good chances for showers and storms
through the end of the period.  Highs during this period are
generally expected to be in the 80s through Tuesday, with high temps
in the 70s to around 80 for Thursday. Low temps are expected to be
in the 60s to near 70.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Friday through Wednesday/...
As of 225 PM Friday...

West-east oriented frontal zone will stall south of the Triangle or
generally south of Highway 64. IFR to MVFR ceilings are expected to
dominate across the northern terminals(KINT,KGSO,KRDU and KRWI)
through 12 to 15z Saturday. Meanwhile, KFAY will remain south of this
front, with aviation conditions outside of convection, expected to
remain VFR. All TAF sites will see multiple rounds of showers and
storms this afternoon through around 06z. Severe storms capable of
producing damaging thunderstorm winds and an isolated tornado or two
is greatest at KFAY, KRDU and KRWI between 20 to 02z. Storms will
decrease in both coverage and intensity after 06z.

Stalled front will lift north as a warm front between 06 to 12z.
Ceilings in the wake of the front are expected to return to VFR
between 13 to 16z. Isolated to widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected to re-develop Saturday afternoon, mainly
along and east of KRDU.

High pressure will build into the area Sunday through early next
week as surface high pressure builds over the area. The approach of
a cold front from the west late Tuesday night and Wednesday will
bring the next chance of showers/storms along with sub VFR
conditions.

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