AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
253 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2005
.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...
H500 RIDGING SLOWLY GIVING WAY TO HEIGHT FALLS JUST UPSTREAM IN
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. AT THE SURFACE...FRONTAL BOUNDARY DEPICTED JUST
NORTH OF AREA...SOUTH OF OAJ...WINDING SOUTHWEST-WARD IN THE
VICINITY OF FLO. THIS FRONT AND THE PLACEMENT THEREOF WILL
CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS OF THIS PACKAGE.
AS WAS THE CASE THIS TIME WEDNESDAY...POPS FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
ARE THE FIRST CONCERN. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS HAVE MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY REMAINING TO OUR WEST...ALTHOUGH MAV POPS ARE HIGHER DUE
TO SOME LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE. BASICALLY SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE HERE
AND USED CHANCE POPS.
SOME DIFFERENCE IN PLACEMENT OF FRONT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
PERIOD AND THE ASSOCIATED LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE FIELDS. WITH THE
LACK OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING...THE PLACEMENT OF THESE FIELDS WILL BE
CRITICAL TO POPS/QPF. BASED ON HPC AND MODEL INITIALIZATIONS...HAVE USED
THE NAM DEPICTIONS WITH MODIFICATIONS TO GUIDANCE VALUES.
MET SHOWING LIKELY TO NEAR LIKELY VALUES FOR WESTERN AREAS FRIDAY
BASED ON 925 AND 850MB JETS/CONVERGENCE. DID NOT GO THIS HIGH...ALTHOUGH DID
TREND HIGHER VALUES TO THE WEST.
USED THE SAME PATTERN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD
CONCERNING POPS.
CONCERNING TEMPERATURES...RELENTLESS HEAT SHOULD FINALLY ABATE AS
850 TEMPS DECREASE BY SOME FIVE...SIX DEGREES CELSIUS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
GUIDANCE VALUES CLUSTERED FAIRLY WELL AND GENERALLY WENT WITH A
BLEND OF MAV/MET NUMBERS.
NORMALLY THIS PATTERN WOULD LEND ITSELF TO FLOODING CONCERNS.
HOWEVER...48 HOUR QPF AMOUNTS THROUGH SUNDAY INDICATE VALUES JUST
IN EXCESS OF TWO INCHES...WITH SOME OF THIS BASED ON FEEDBACK.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE ALSO RUNNING SOME TWO TO THREE INCHES BELOW
NORMAL IN JULY AS WELL...MITIGATING THE THREAT SOMEWHAT.
&&
.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD LESS AMPLIFICATION THROUGH THE PERIOD
FOR THE EAST COAST TROUGH AS ATLANTIC RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE
EAST. THIS LEAVES THE AREA IN POORLY DEFINED MID-LEVEL PATTERN. AT
THE SURFACE...FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS IN THE VICINITY
WHILE PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED BACK DOOR FRONT IS DELAYED SOMEWHAT.
USED HPC NUMBERS...WHICH ARE ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY WITH POPS AND
SLIGHTLY BELOW WITH TEMPERATURES.
&&
.AVIATION...
SEA BREEZE CONVECTION JUST NOW GETTING STARTED ALTHOUGH CU FIELDS
SUGGEST THAT FLO SHOULD ALSO HAVE VCTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SHOULD
ANY AREA START GETTING MORE ACTIVE AN AMENDMENT WILL BE NEEDED TO
PUT THUNDER IN A TEMPO GROUP. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A BRIEF PREDAWN DIP
DOWN TO IFR VSBY ONCE AGAIN...BASICALLY A REPEAT OF THE PAST TWO
NIGHT.
&&
.MARINE...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES OVER THE SOUTHEAST NORTH
CAROLINA AND EXTENDS INTO CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON. SEA
BREEZE AGAIN IS WELL ESTABLISHED THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT SYNOPTIC
THINKING HAS NOT CHANGED THAT MUCH FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE LESS THAN 15 KTS AND SEAS GENERALLY 3 FT OR
LESS.
&&
