Area forecast discussion, Sep 27, 3:37 PM EDT, 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 337 PM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Tropical Depression Helene has moved over Kentucky where the remnant circulation will sit and spin through the weekend. Eventually the circulation will drift east to the Atlantic Ocean, bringing a renewed chance of rain for the beginning of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 320 PM Friday... The primary band of rain associated with what is now Tropical Depression Helene will clear eastern counties in the next hour. Farther to the west, there is some partial clearing across the forecast area, with some scattered showers to the west of US-1. However, there has not been any lightning outside of the major band that moved through the region, and no additional thunderstorms are expected. A chance of showers will persist across the region through sunset, and conditions should dry out after that. Wind gusts up to 35 mph will continue through sunset, then wind gusts will drop below 20 mph and decrease further overnight. With clearing skies overnight, lows should drop into the 60s. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 320 PM Friday... The remnants of Helene should have wrapped up into the vertically stacked cyclone over the mid-MS Valley by early Sat. The cyclone will slowly shift eastward through KY/TN Sat/Sat night, with deep swly flow dominating over central NC between the cyclone to the west and anticyclone between the Southeast US coast/Caribbean Sea and Bermuda. A surface wave could lift newd along the Southeast US/Carolina coast Sat night. Generally expect the weather to be dry, however there could be a stray shower over the southern Coastal Plain as the surface wave approaches late Sat night. Highs should range from around 80 degrees NW to mid 80s SE. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 335 PM Friday... Central NC will remain situated between the cyclone to the NW and anticyclone to the southeast Sun/Sun night. The cyclone will gradually weaken and eventually open into a trough Mon/Mon night, while the anticyclone remains over or just NE of the Caribbean. The trough and embedded low should finally progress eastward through the mid-Atlantic Tue/Tue night, while the ridge to the SE flattens out. A trailing s/w should move through the region on the heels of the trough Wed/Wed night as the northern stream trough moving through ctl/ern Canada amplifies swd. The sub-tropical ridge should again build through the Southeast US through the end of the week. A cold front could approach/move into/through the area mid to late week as high pressure moves eastward through the mid-Atlantic, however details remain uncertain at this time. The best chance for showers/storms will be Mon/Tue as the trough/low moves through the region. Temperatures may be fairly steady Sun-Tue, with highs ranging from mid 70s to mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s to around 70 degrees. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 115 PM Friday... TAF period: The heaviest line of showers seems to be breaking up, meaning that RWI may not receive as intense rainfall as other TAF sites have received. Nevertheless, it is the last remaining TAF site with potential for heavy rainfall. Scattered showers are expected through the afternoon at the other terminals, but any visibility restrictions due to showers would be extremely brief. Overcast MVFR ceilings will continue at all sites through the late afternoon before clouds begin to scatter out in addition to lifting. As for winds, widespread gusts to 25 kt are expected through the afternoon, dropping to 20 kt around sunset and dropping to 5-10 kt by midnight. Outlook: Although Saturday and Saturday night will be dry, the remnants of Helene will begin to shift east from Kentucky to DC, bringing a chance of rain from Sunday to Tuesday (particularly across northern terminals). Conditions will then dry out Wednesday and Thursday. && .CLIMATE... Record High Minimum Temperatures: September 27: KGSO: 69/2011 KRDU: 73/2011 KFAY: 73/2017 && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
