AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
250 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak surface trough will linger over the region into tonight.
Subtropical high pressure will then build across the region through
late week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
As of 250 PM Monday...

Surface analysis shows a boundary oriented from northeast to
southwest across North Carolina, primarily noticeable by a dewpoint
gradient. Nearly all afternoon convection has formed along and to
the south of this boundary across southern North Carolina, although
there are some rogue showers and a storm north of US 64. Wind gusts
remain the primary concern for severe weather with dry air aloft and
modest values of DCAPE. CAPE is plentiful, although wind shear is
minimal. In fact, with such little steering flow, storm motion has
been slow, and with precipitable water values between 1.5 and 1.8,
this raises the potential for flash flooding. The focus of storms
should slowly shift to the I-95 corridor during the late afternoon,
with only a slight chance of showers/storms remaining east of I-95
during the evening hours before conditions dry out. Expect typical
North Carolina summertime lows overnight, with temperatures
bottoming out in the lower 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 250 PM Monday...

As the boundary moves east along the North Carolina shoreline, the
focus of precipitation will also move east. Have retained a slight
chance of showers across southern and eastern counties, but really
think that most precipitation should be contained to coastal areas.
With a little bit less cloud cover around, high temperatures should
creep up a couple degrees bringing all locations into the lower 90s.
No showers/storms are expected after sunset Tuesday night, and lows
will fall into the low to mid 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 121 PM Monday...

Mid level ridging will dominate the wx pattern over the Carolinas
Wednesday and Thursday, resulting in above normal temps with heat
index values 100 and below climo daily PoPs.  The ridge will begin
to weaken across the East Friday through Sunday as the ridge center
shifts westward toward then over the Central Plains. By Monday, a
weak trough will be in place over our region, between the ridge
center over the Central Plains and the ridge center over Bermuda.
Thus the chance for afternoon and evening showers and tstms will
increase back to climo, or perhaps even a little above climo, Friday
through Monday, along with temps a couple deg cooler thanks to
increased cloud coverage and rain shower coverage.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 105 PM Monday...

24 hour TAF period: Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected
this afternoon, with the greatest activity across eastern ports such
as FAY/RWI. While a thunderstorm cannot be ruled out at INT/GSO, had
less confidence in those locations, and downgraded the precipitation
mention to a VCSH mention instead of a VCTS mention. There should be
no widespread restrictions from precipitation, although heavier
showers/storms could produce brief restrictions that are not
specifically mentioned in the TAFs. All precipitation should come to
an end shortly after sunset. While some model guidance suggested
that there could be restrictions around dawn, feel that any such
restrictions would likely be related to where rainfall occurs today
and that a mention of restrictions could wait until a later TAF
package once rainfall has been observed.

Outlook: Generally VFR conditions are expected through Saturday.
There is a chance of an afternoon or early evening thunderstorm,
with details generally low confidence at any given location at this
time.

&&

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