AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
325 PM EDT Mon Aug 31 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A series of upper level disturbances moving through the region will
interact with very moist air and a pair of nearly stationary fronts
extending across the Carolinas through Tuesday night. Meanwhile,
an area of low pressure off the Carolina coast will remain offshore
as it moves northeast away from the area Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 325 PM Monday...

Flanked by a pair of quasi-stationary surface fronts; one just to
our NE and the other just to our SW; an anomalously moist airmass,
featuring PWATs of 2-2.25(1 to 2 S.D. above normal), will remain in
place through Tuesday. While not as vigorous as the upper impulse
that traversed the southern and central Appalachians earlier this
morning, a weakly perturbed flow aloft will continue to support
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms through the evening
with the greatest coverage expected across the NC Piedmont.
Nocturnal stabilization and convective overturning should lead to a
gradual decrease in convective intensity and coverage overnight, but
given the deep moisture in place, we could see some weak convection
linger all night.

Now that the vigorous impulse has lifted near the Mason-Dixon Line,
the belt of enhanced shear 25 to 35 kts that we had sitting over our
NW Piedmont have shifted off to the north as well. Thus, expect the
severe threat for the remainder of the afternoon and evening to be
generally isolated. Localized/isolated flooding threat, mainly in
urban/poor drainage areas, will persist across the NC Piedmont as
well. Lows tonight in the 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 325 PM Monday...

The area of low pressure currently SE of Wilmington, which the NHC
is tracking closely for tropical development, will move NE near but
will remain offshore of the NC coast Tuesday and Tuesday night.
The low will drag the front that's currently south of the area into
SE NC on Tuesday. Meanwhile, a wedge of weak high pressure will
extend over the NW Piedmont on Tuesday.

With a moist and moderately unstable airmass in place, the continued
perturbed flow aloft will support scattered showers and storms area-
wide Tuesday afternoon. Modest shear could support an isolated
severe storm or two. Convection will diminish with nocturnal
cooling.

Highs Tuesday will range from lower 80s NW to near 90 SE. Lows 70 to
75.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 230 PM Monday...

The sub-tropical ridge will extend into the Carolinas through
Wednesday night as an upper level trough swings through the southern
Plains. Meanwhile at the surface, a trough will remain in place over
the Appalachians as a low moves through New England. High pressure
over the Gulf and Bermuda high over the Atlantic will be in place on
Wednesday and linger through Thursday.

The extended forecast period hints at a possible change in the
summertime pattern that has persisted over the region with more
highly amplified troughs digging into the CONUS. A strong low
pressure system will progress east across southern Canada Thursday
and Friday with the upper trough and attendant cold front at the
surface extending south into the northern Plains/MS Valley, surging
east through Friday. As the cold front moves into the mid-Atlantic
Friday/Saturday, the surface trough will shift east and south of the
area while the upper trough remains over the Northeast and mid-
Atlantic. The front will move into central NC from the north,
advecting cooler, drier air into the area before lifting northward
again Sunday/Monday. Medium-range models indicate cold Canadian high
pressure surging southeast through the CONUS Sunday through Monday
as an upper level shortwave swings through and amplifies the trough.
However, the cold front and best CAA are not expected to make it
into the mid-Atlantic.

Temperatures will be slightly above normal and gradually moderating
Wednesday through Friday, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and
lows in the low to mid 70s. From Friday night through Monday, expect
a decreasing temperature trend with highs in the low to mid 80s and
lows in the mid to upper 60s by Saturday and Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 200 PM Monday...

KINT and KGSO: Though ceilings could briefly lift to low-end VFR this
afternoon, ceilings are expected to remain predominately IFR to MVFR
this afternoon/early evening, before lowering to LIFR overnight,
with areas of fog possible. IFR restrictions in heavy showers and
thunderstorms will also be possible through the evening, before
convection gradually weakens and dissipates overnight. The widespread
LIFR to IFR ceilings will slowly lift to VFR during the early to mid
afternoon with scattered showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon.

KRDU, KFAY, and KRWI: Low-end VFR ceilings are expected this
afternoon with scattered showers and thunderstorms potentially
lingering through the evening and early overnight hours, mainly at
KRDU and KFAY. Additionally, widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings are
expected to develop, with area of fog possible. Ceilings will
gradually to MVFR and then VFR during the mid to late morning hours
with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected across all of
central NC.

Outlook: Isolated to widely scattered diurnal rain chances are
expected Wednesday through Thursday. A cold front moving into the
area from the NW will bring widespread rain chances to the area on
Friday. Additionally, the risk for sub-VFR restrictions in
fog/stratus will be possible each morning.
