Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
1105 PM EDT Sun Jul 22 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A mid and upper-level low across the Ohio Valley will move slowly
south across the southern Appalachians into the middle of the work
week. A deep, moist, southerly flow will extend across the
Carolinas through much of the work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
As of 1055 PM Sunday...

It's been a very active afternoon and evening across central NC
with numerous thunderstorms producing severe weather and some
flash flooding. The upper-level disturbance associated with the
main area of convection that impacted central NC earlier today is
lifting into southwestern VA. The upper-level low centered over
southern OH and northeast KY and the associated 35 to 30 kts of
flow at 500 hPa will rotate additional disturbances across the
Southeast overnight. Fortunately, most of these disturbances
will not impact most of central NC overnight but they are noted
in regional GOES-east water vapor imagery and on the 1.5 PVU
surface across western NC/VA, southeast GA, and off the Carolina
coast. With a reduced amount of forcing compared to last night,
expect fewer showers and thunderstorms. However, convection
allowing models continue to indicate numerous showers and
thunderstorms will spread across the coastal region overnight,
perhaps extending westward into the Coastal Plain. The air mass
in the Coastal Plain eastward remains moderately unstable with
MLCAPE values in excess of 1500 J/kg which with some forcing
should support the development of showers and storms, especially
after 1 or 2 AM. The vast majority of this convection should
exit the RAH CWA by 12Z Monday. Lows tonight will again range in
the upper 60s to lower 70s. -Blaes

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING 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 SUNDAY/...
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 /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 835 PM Sunday...

Through 00Z Sunday... Scattered to widespread convection will move
into the western Piedmont through the late-evening hours with VSBY
and CIG restrictions. Convective coverage will decrease after
midnight before another area of scattered convection moves into
coastal NC from the south. This area of convection could impact the
RWI and to a lesser degree, the KFAY terminals between 06Z and 10Z.
Outside of these areas of convection, a period of MVFR to
potentially IFR CIGS is expected across the western Piedmont late
tonight and early Monday morning. Elsewhere, VFR to MVFR conditions
with CIGS of 1.5 to 2.5kft are possible toward daybreak. Sky
conditions will improve during the mid and late morning hours on
Monday before more widespread showers and thunderstorms develop
Monday afternoon.

Beyond 00Z Tuesday...A deep southerly flow of moist and unstable air
will result in an unsettled period through the work week. Showers
and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening,
combined with periods of low clouds and fog around daybreak
will result in a prolonged threat of adverse aviation conditions
through the week.

1217 AM EDT MON JUL 23 2018

...A LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT WAYNE...NORTHEASTERN
SAMPSON...SOUTHEASTERN JOHNSTON AND WILSON COUNTIES UNTIL 115 AM
EDT...

At 1217 AM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a line of strong
thunderstorms along a line extending from 7 miles southwest of Walnut
Creek to Warsaw. Movement was north at 40 mph.

Wind gusts up to 50 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...
Goldsboro, Smithfield, Wilson, Mount Olive, Fremont, Walnut Creek,
Micro, Selma, Pine Level and Kenly.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Seek shelter in a nearby building or vehicle. Wind gusts as high as
50 mph are capable of knocking down small or weakened trees 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.

Frequent cloud to ground lightning is occurring with these storms.
Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe
shelter inside a building or vehicle.
