Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
230 PM EDT Sun Jul 22 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
An unseasonably strong upper level low pressure across the Ohio
Valley into the central Appalachians will drift slowly south
across the southern Appalachians through mid-week. A deep,
moist, southerly flow will extend across the region through
at least Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 140 PM Sunday...

Our forecast area will continue to be affected by the presence of a
highly amplified pattern, namely the closed low over the eastern
Great Lakes that extends southward all the way across the southeast.
A series of embedded short wave disturbances rotating around the
larger circulation, combined with several sfc boundaries and
convergence zones, will help provide occasional rounds of shower and
tstm activity over the next couple days.

In the near term however, we're keeping our eyes on a couple areas
of low level convergence for renewed convection, namely invof and
east of the central and northern I-95 corridor, where many of the
recent CAM runs, including the HRRR and NAM nest, show ongoing and
additional convection this afternoon.  Latest radar also shows some
scattered showers and tstms west of the Triangle, and those are
expected to slowly drift to the NE. Meanwhile, additional convection
now to our west over the mountains is progged to eventually move
east with deep layer mean flow generally W-SW, and that activity is
expected to affect our western Piedmont zones during the evening
hours.  The main concerns with any of the aforementioned activity
will include heavy downpours, localized poor drainage flooding, and
isolated strong wind gusts. It's worth noting that the best CAPE and
effective shear is currently located (and is progged to remain) east
of the Triangle, so our central and northern Coastal Plain zones may
have the best chance of seeing strong storms and heaviest downpours.

While convection this afternoon and evening across central NC is
expected to diminish after midnight, there are hints in the models
that remnants of the convection currently affecting NE Florida will
move NE and regenerate into a cluster of showers and tstms that will
move northward across eastern NC in the pre-dawn hours.  As such,
will keep chance PoPs going late overnight across our eastern zones.
Lows tonight upper 60s NW to lower 70s SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 140 PM Sunday...

Additional rounds/bands of scattered showers and tstms are expected
to develop and move northward across our area during the short term
period, thanks to deep moist southerly flow around the north-to-
south elongated closed low extending from the Great Lakes to the
Deep South.  Several short waves embedded within the larger
circulation will help trigger and focus these rounds of activity.
The main concern given this situation will be the risk for
repetitive moderate to heavy downpours, which could lead to
localized flooding. Right now, it's difficult to pin down which
areas in our CWA will see these bands of rain set up, but for now we
expect a general 1-2 inches of rain across central NC, with spots
that see training cells receiving well more than 2 inches of rain.
Highs on Monday will be dependent on rain and cloud cover, but in
general expecting highs in the 80s.  Lows Monday night in the low
70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 230 PM Sunday...

The active/wet pattern is likely to continue through most/if not all
of the long term period as the area finds itself sandwiched between
a stalled mid/upper-level trough (west) and a sub-tropical Atlantic
High (east). This will exacerbate southerly/southwesterly fetch
across central NC, providing an airmass characterized by high PWAT
values (consistently in the 1.75 to 2.5 inch range) and persistent
diurnal shower/thunder chances. The airmass attempts to wash-out a
bit toward the end of the period as a frontal boundary approaches
the area from the northwest, however, models tend to agree with this
boundary stalling near/slightly north of the VA/NC border, keeping
us in the warm/humid/stormy airmass for the foreseeable future.

QPF amounts are going to be highly difficult to nail down due to the
convective nature of the precipitation. As an area average, expect
generally 1 to 3 inches of precipitation during this period. Higher
amounts will likely be located across the coastal plain with the
best moisture profile, and across the Piedmont/Triad region which
could see greater coverage thanks to mountain aided development each
afternoon. Flooding concerns will generally be locally dependent on
high rainfall rates and/or training storms across a particular area.
Currently, not a strong signal for potential river flooding
according to MMEFS, but with high QPF amounts expected across the
headwaters region in VA/western NC over the next 7 days, it could
easily transition into more of a concern eventually.

With boundary layer moisture ample through the period, thicknesses
are expected to remain generally near to slightly below normal,
thanks in a large part to persistent cloud cover and/or shower
development during prime daytime heating hours. Expect temperatures
generally in the low to mid 80s to begin the period, with a few
places touching 90 late week as the mid level flow flattens a bit,
and a mid to upper-level low is forecast to transverse through the
Great Lakes region by Friday/Saturday. Lows will generally settle a
bit warmer than normal, in the low to mid 70s during this period.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 140 PM Sunday...

Through 18Z Monday... Scattered MVFR and IFR conditions expected
through the period associated with shower and tstm activity. Outside
of this activity, look for VFR conditions.  Winds will generally be
variable 10kt or less, expect invof of tstms where variable gusts
above 30kt are possible.

After 18Z Monday...A cloudy and wet pattern will result in
occasional reduced flight conditions through the rest of the period.

&&

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

...A LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN VANCE...
SOUTHWESTERN WARREN...NORTHEASTERN WAKE AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES UNTIL
800 PM EDT...

At 701 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a line of strong
thunderstorms along a line extending from near Louisburg to 7 miles
north of Clayton. Movement was north at 20 mph.

Wind gusts up to 45 mph will be possible with these storms.

Heavy rain and minor flooding and deadly cloud to ground lightning
will also be possible with these storms.

Locations impacted include...
Louisburg, Warrenton, Wake Forest, Zebulon, Franklinton, Kittrell,
Bunn, Knightdale, Wendell and Rolesville.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Seek shelter in a nearby building or vehicle. Wind gusts as high as
45 mph are capable of knocking down tree limbs and blowing around
trash cans, potted plants, lawn furniture and other light outdoor
objects.

Locally heavy rain will quickly reduce visibility and result in
ponding of water on roadways, standing water in low lying areas, and
minor flooding of creeks, streams, and areas of poor drainage.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use extra caution to avoid
hydroplaning, especially in urban areas where prolonged heavy rain
can quickly lead to flooding.
