Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
949 PM EDT Fri Aug 10 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A front stretching across southern and eastern North Carolina will
drift northward as a warm front tonight, as an upper level trough
approaches from the west. This system will swing through the region
on Saturday, while an upper level low pressure strengthens and
settles over Ohio. This low will keep North Carolina in a damp and
unsettled pattern through the weekend and into Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 950 PM Friday...

A relatively quiet evening to this point but have some ongoing
convection in the KRWI area and a small complex of storms moving
northeastward and could hold together and move into parts of the
Triad. This will be the greater area of concern moving into the
overnight hours as a low moving out of the Ohio Valley will continue
pushing eastward with some help of an upper level trough. This will
increase pops across the west overnight and into Saturday morning.
Currently the environment for storms is not particulary primed as
cells will have to fight some convective inhibition on the way to
500 J/KG of ML CAPE. There is some 20 kts of effective shear in the
area and there is some multicellular organization to convection
currently over western NC spanning a line from Boone to Brevard.
Lows tonight generally in the lower 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 335 AM Friday...

PW will be slipping back to around 1.5" over W NC Sat morning within
a period of weak post-shortwave subsidence, as 850-700 mb winds
become light northwesterly. East of here, however, will maintain an
elevated PW near 2.0" for much of the day, until the dampened wave
progresses ENE out of the area late Sat afternoon and early evening.
Moderate CAPE is expected in the afternoon, with deep layer shear of
20-25 kts, and at least weak upper divergence will be maintained as
a broad upper jet persists to our N and NW. Will hold onto good
chance to low end likely pops, highest in the NE with lower pops in
the W and far S, further removed from the better mid level winds.
Expect highs of 85-92, with more clouds than sun across the N. Pops
should trail off west to east overnight with the dip in PW and lull
in lift-inducing mechanisms. Lows 69-74 under partly to mostly
cloudy skies. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 252 PM Friday...

Sunday through Tuesday: The mid-upper level closed low will sit in
place over the lower Great Lakes/Ohio Valley on Sunday, gradually
meandering eastward on Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, high pressure
will remain in place to the southeast over the Atlantic. At the
surface, an elongated area of low pressure/trough will linger over
the Mid-Atlantic, east of the Appalachians. The southeast return
flow around the high and the south-southwesterly flow ahead of the
positively-tilted upper low/trough will both advect moisture into
the region from the Atlantic and Gulf, respectively. The resultant
moist, conditionally unstable environment will favor the development
of showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and
lasting into the early overnight hours. The models remain in fairly
good agreement with this system and thus forecast confidence remains
on the high side with respect to chances for convection. Generally
expect the highest rainfall totals across the eastern portions of
the area, though expect most everywhere to receive some, if not
quite a bit, of rain Sunday through Tuesday. High temperatures will
range from mid 80s across the north to around 90 degrees south. Lows
Sunday night are expected to be in the upper 60s to mid 70s,
decreasing Monday and Tuesday into the mid 60s to low 70s.

Wednesday through Friday: The upper low is expected to finally lift
off to the north on Wednesday, with some brief upper level ridging
into the area Thursday and Thursday night before another trough
amplifies to the west on Friday. As a result of the NW flow and
subsidence in the wake of the departing low, expect a couple of
predominantly dry days Wednesday and Thursday, though a few
diurnally driven showers will be possible as the Piedmont trough
remains in place over the Carolinas and Virginia. Highs will again
rise into the upper 80s to mid 90s while lows in the 69-74 degree
range will persist. As the next low pressure system develops to the
west and begins its approach toward the region, expect a return of
aft/eve convection and increasing chances of it by the end of the
week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 840 PM Friday...

24 Hour TAF Period: VFR conditions are generally expected to continue
for the 24 hour TAF Period, outside of any isolated convection this
evening/early Saturday morning and isolated to scattered storms
Saturday afternoon/evening. Any convection will be capable of
producing sub-VFR conditions, with gusty winds possible with the
strongest storms (mainly on Saturday afternoon). Otherwise, expect
light and variable to calm winds tonight to increase out of the
southwest east of a strengthening surface trough across the area on
Saturday into the 5 to 10 KT range (KRDU/KFAY/KRWI).

Outlook: Above-normal (greater coverage as compared to a typical
summer day) shower/storm chances will continue Sun/Mon, mainly each
afternoon/ evening, followed by low shower/storm chances Tue/Wed.
The risk of early-morning low clouds or fog is low through the
period.
