AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
959 PM EST Thu Dec 24 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will blast east across NC tonight. Arctic
high pressure will then build across the region Christmas Day
through the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 955 PM Thursday...

Tornado Watch #518 was locally extended in time through 04Z for our
nern five counties and cancelled elsewhere.

Earlier training of mini supercells in the RAH Coastal Plain, driven
along the low level jet and maximum in 925-850 mb WAA; associated
forcing for ascent; and underlying surface pressure falls/confluence
axis, has moved to the NC coast. After a brief lull, a QLCS has
recently intensified from e-cntl SC newd into cntl and e-cntl NC,
with several observed gusts between 40-46 kts along the length of
that line from KFLO and KMAO in SC to KFBG and KFAY in NC in the
past couple of hours. This QLCS will continue to pose a risk of
surface wind gusts up to 50 or 55 kts and embedded mesovortex
tornadoes as it moves through the remainder of the Coastal Plain
through 04Z.

Sharply colder temperatures and additional wly wind gusts to 35 kts
will accompany the surface cold front, analyzed at 03Z from MTV to
CLT (on the doorstep of nwrn Forsyth Co.), as it surges ewd across
cntl NC with associated 15 F temperatures falls in just over an
hour, through 09Z. There remains a slight chance that the back edge
of the departing precipitation axis may result in a short-
lived/inconsequential mix with snow (less than an hour) over the
Piedmont.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 PM EST Thu Dec 24 2020/

...Tornado watch in effect until 10 PM for much of eastern NC and a
Wind Advisory is in effect through 1 AM along and east of I-95...

As of 18Z this afternoon, the elongated area of low pressure was
over and just west of the Appalachians, with the cold front
extending south through GA and into the FL panhandle and north into
the eastern Great Lakes. The warm front has moved through most of
central NC sitting just south and east of the Triad. A line of
showers and thunderstorms with embedded northward moving supercells
continues to move through the Coastal Plain this afternoon. A second
line of storms is over GA and FL, which will move north through the
Carolinas this evening. Confluent moisture advection off the
Atlantic and Gulf will likely increase instability across eastern
and southeastern NC over the next several hours. Forecast soundings
at KFAY and KRWI have SBCAPE of 500-1000 J/Kg with strong shear (0-1
Km 40-50 kts, 0-3 Km 50-60 kts) over eastern NC this evening as the
QLCS moves into the area. The LLJ peaks at around 03Z, with 60-70
kts at 700-800 mb. Instability will be somewhat limited farther west
(especially north and west of the warm front). The cold front, with
its impressive wind fields suggests the treat of widespread damaging
wind gusts in the QLCS to 50kt and the potential for isolated
tornadoes, limited potential over the western Piedmont. The other
issue will be the potential for flooding, both flash and river.
Forecast PWATs at KFAY and KRWI are 1.4-1.6" this evening. Some
locations have already had an inch of rain or more. The additional
rainfall, if heavy enough over an urban area, could result in flash
flooding. Additionally, the runoff from all of this rain will result
in rises along the rivers, with the Neuse River having the greatest
chance to reach minor flood stage.

The upper low over the northern MS Valley will move east into the OH
Valley this evening as the surface low lifts north into NY and the
cold front surges east into central NC around midnight. As the cold
front moves through the area from west to east this evening/tonight,
the convection will shift east-northeast and out of the area
by/around daybreak Christmas morning. Strong cold advection behind
the front will result in a significant drop in temperatures and the
potential for some additional gusty winds. There is also a chance
for a very brief change-over to snow as the precipitation ends and
the cold air rushes in. Confidence is not terribly high but it is
possible. Regardless, no impacts expected. Most, if not all of the
precipitation should be out of the area by daybreak. Lows will
depend heavily on the fropa/caa but for now expect upper 20s to
around 30 degrees NW to mid/upper 30s east.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 PM Thursday...

...Cold and blustery conditions Christmas Day with the potential for
a passing snow shower or flurries...

An anomalously deep upper low/trough(-2 to -3 S.D)moving through the
Deep South and SE US Christmas Day and Night will escort in the
coldest air of the season into the Carolinas Christmas Day and
night. In the wake of the cold front that will be moving out into
the Atlantic Christmas morning, a ~1028mb surface high diving into
the Deep South will drive strong cold dry air advection throughout
the day, resulting in very minimal temperature recovery/warming
Christmas day. With the calendar day high likely to occur right
after midnight at most locations, daytime highs are expected to
range from lower/mid 30s NW to upper 30s/near 40 SE, with temps
falling during the afternoon. The strong CAA will also result in
frequent NWLY winds gusts of 20 to 30 mph, strongest in the east,
which will also make it feel even colder, producing wind chills in
the lower/mid 20s NW to lower 30s SE.

Finally, although moisture will be limited and fleeting, the
incredibly strong upper forcing associated with the ~250 meter H5
falls pivoting through the region will be more than enough to
squeeze out what moisture there is, to produce some flurries and/or
passing snow shower by late morning and into the afternoon. No snow
accumulation is expected, but it will be a nice sight as any snow on
Christmas Day is a rarity across central NC.

The wind gusts will abate Christmas evening which will lead us to
the coldest night of the season. Lows in 15-20 north to lower 20s
SE, so bundle up in multiple layers if you plan to be outdoors.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 200 PM Thursday...

After the cold upper trough lifts NE, and out of the region during
the day on Saturday, central NC will be under the influence of quasi-
zonal flow aloft through Tuesday. Temperatures will gradually
moderate to near normal by Sunday and then slightly above normal on
Monday as a moisture deprived cold front moves through the area.

Renewed CAA will in the wake of the cold Monday night through
Tuesday, will lower temps back to near or slightly below normal. The
next chance of precip looks to arrive by late Wednesday and into
Thursday with models indicating the potential a wet CAD event across
the NC Piedmont as another strong/amplified upper trough over the
central US moves into the region. At this time, p-type looks to be
all rain due to the transit nature of the parent high.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 725 PM Thursday...

As the strong cold front pushes through tonight showers and
thunderstorms will move through the area.  Currently (as of 00z
observations) VFR conditions prevail at INT/GSO and RDU but as the
last line of showers and storms move from west to east MVFR/IFR
conditions will return quickly between now and 02z until 10-12z as
the cold front pushed through the eastern terminals. Ahead of the
front, southerly gutsy winds have been observed up to 35kts and will
change to more of a westerly wind and remain gusty though most of
the day tomorrow. As the rain moves out with the main cold front
there is a chance of post frontal un-impactful flurries and isolated
light snow showers late morning early afternoon in the Piedmont.  As
the low level jet crosses this evening this will allow for LLWS in
the more eastern sites (RDU, FAY, and INT) but as the jet moves off
by midnight LLWS chances diminish to none.

Outlook: Beyond 00Z Friday, arctic high pressure and drier weather
will take over, with VFR conditions building across central NC.
Gusty west-northwest winds will persist on Friday up to 30 knots,
decreasing to around 5-10 knots and becoming southwesterly on
Saturday.
