Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
405 PM EDT Tue Apr 24 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
An area of low pressure will track northeastward across the
Carolinas and VA through tonight. A weak cold front will cross our
region late Wed and Wed night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 405 PM Tuesday...

Water vapor imagery depicts a well defined mature cyclone over the
TN Valley with a couple of discernible s/ws rotating around it. One
s/w is lifting newd across eastern TN/western NC, while another was
noted crossing the Deep South.  The lead s/w will lift across our
region this evening, while the later should lift into our area late
overnight/early Wednesday. These s/ws interacting with a available
moisture will trigger/sustain numerous showers and a few
thunderstorms late this afternoon through sunset. Bulk of
thunderstorm activity will remain south-southwest of Raleigh. Narrow
axis of instability and shear in vicinity of a nwd moving warm front
will maintain a slight threat for a severe storm or two through 23Z
across the southern Piedmont and Sandhills.

May see a lull in the shower activity behind the initial s/w mid-
late evening before showers start to increase in coverage across the
western Piedmont ahead of the next s/w. This increase in shower
activity should occur after 06Z. Potential for areas of fog to
develop across the eastern counties, though most of the visibilities
should be above a mile. Overnight temperatures in the 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 405 PM Tuesday...

Wednesday, the upper level low will migrate east across the region.
Expect showers to be concentrated near the center of this system in
the morning then expand south and east in the afternoon. Will
refrain from mention thunder at this time though an isolated rumble
of thunder cannot be ruled out, especially east and southeast of
Raleigh. With peeks of sun expected, it should be notably warmer
across the northern counties compared to this afternoon. Highs
should range from near 70 in the NW to the mid 70s south.

Subsidence behind the departing upper low and loss of heating
Wednesday evening should cause showers to quickly diminish in the
early evening. Cloud cover will be slow to erode in the evening due
to the cyclonic flow though this becomes more anti-cyclonic
overnight. This should lead to partly cloudy skies. Min temps in the
low-mid 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 335 PM Tuesday...

As the mid- upper-level low lifts off to the northeast and gets
absorbed into the low over the Great Lakes there will be a brief
lull in precipitation chances over Central NC Thursday morning into
Thursday Afternoon. Another shortwave low aloft will swing through
the the Deep South and toward the Mid-Atlantic coast Thursday
resulting in another chance for showers and thunderstorms across the
region Thursday aft/eve into the overnight hours. As that second
shortwave low moves through the area, a third shortwave will dive
south through the ARKLATEX, elongating the parent longwave trough
aloft. This third low may result in additional precipitation over
the Carolinas, however there are some model differences in that
regard at this time. Will continue to carry at least a slight chance
for rain through Friday night, but confidence in rain occurring is
not terribly high at this time. Meanwhile at the surface, a low will
drift north-northeastward out of the Deep South and along the
Eastern Seaboard toward New England. Temperatures Thursday through
Saturday: Highs ranging from around 70 degrees in the NW to mid 70s
SE and lows decreasing from mid 70s Thursday night to mid 40s NW to
around 50 degrees SE Saturday night. Largely expect Sunday and
Monday to be dry with highs in the low to mid 70s and lows in the
mid 40s to low 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 140 PM Tuesday...

There is high confidence that adverse aviation conditions will
persist across central NC through Wednesday morning with widespread
MVFR/IFR ceilings expected through 02Z Wednesday. After 02Z,
widespread LIFR/IFR ceilings should dominate. Scattered showers and
an isolated thunderstorm or two will occur through early evening,
primarily across the Sandhills, and the southern and western
Piedmont. After sunset, scattered showers will continue to plague
the western Piedmont, including the Triad terminals. Elsewhere, only
isolated showers expected with patches of MVFR/IFR fog developing
overnight.

After 14Z Wednesday, expect to see ceilings slowly lift with
MVFR/low end VFR ceilings expected by 18Z-20Z. MVFR conditions due
to areas of fog and ceilings anticipated for Wednesday night.

The adverse aviation conditions expected to persist through the end
of the work week and possibly into Saturday. Improving aviation
conditions and a return to widespread VFR parameters forecast for
Sunday.
