HEAVY RAIN BANDS IN THE SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS HIT BY LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN IN THUNDERSTORMS IN RECENT DAYS. ALBERTO REMNANT CIRCULATION IS BECOMING A HYBRID SYSTEM AS IT INTERACTS WITH A SHORT WAVE OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY.

JUST MINOR TWEAK REQUIRED TO THE FORECAST IN THE SHORT TERM. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE INVOLVES MAX TEMPS TODAY AND HOW FAR NW RAIN SHIELD WILL EXTEND. MESO ANALYSIS DEPICTS INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH/PSEUDO-WARM FRONT EXTENDING NE ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS OF SANDHILLS THROUGH THE COASTAL PLAIN. APPEARS THAT SURFACE CIRCULATION CENTER OF ALBERTO WILL LIKELY FOLLOW THIS PATH. STILL EXPECT TO SEE SOME ACCELERATION TO THE NE LATER TODAY AS MID LEVEL S/W CURRENTLY CROSSING THE OH VALLEY GETS CLOSER. STILL APPEARS THAT GREATEST THREAT FOR PROLONG RAIN WILL BE THIS MORNING AND MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF SURFACE TROUGH. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT MAXIMIZED OVER THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF CENTRAL NC AT 12Z THEN FOCUS SHIFTS INTO THE COASTAL AREA BY 18Z.

OVERCAST SKIES AND WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL HOLD TEMPS DOWN FOR GOOD PART OF THE DAY. WITH ANTICIPATION OF RAIN DIMINISHING THIS AFTERNOON...MAY SEE SOME TEMP RECOVERY...ESPECIALLY WEST AND SOUTH SECTIONS. TWEAKED TEMPS A BIT IN THE WEST BUT STILL ESSENTIALLY THE SAME FORECAST. EXPECT DRY WEATHER TONIGHT THROUGH SAT. MID/UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS INCREASE LATE THU THROUGH SAT AS L/W TROUGH LIFTS NORTH AND UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SE U.S. THIS WILL GIVE THE REGION A GENUINE TASTE OF SUMMER THIS WEEKEND AS AFTERNOON TEMPS RETURN TO THE UPPER 80S/LOWER 90S. LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... UPPER RIDGE AXIS IN VICINITY OF CENTRAL NC THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS TRANSLATE TO WARM AND MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS. APPEARS THAT ANY CONVECTION THAT OCCURS WILL BE ISOLATED AND MAINLY CONFINED TOT EH EASTERN FRINGE DUE TO POSSIBLE SEA BREEZE INTRUSION...AND IN THE FAR NW DUE TO ANY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
