AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 1118 AM EDT TUE JUN 27 2006 .SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/... FORECAST APPEARS ON TRACK TODAY...NO UPDATE PLANNED THIS MORNING. MSAS STREAMLINE AND MANUAL SFC ANLYSES SHOW WEAK SFC LOW OVER THE STATE OF SC...WITH THE STRONGEST CONVERGENCE CURRENTLY NEAR THE CLT AREA MOVING NNE TOWARDS THE TRIAD. ADDITIONALLY...NUMEROUS HEAVY SHOWERS ARE ADVECTING IN FROM THE ATLANTIC IN SOUTHEAST FLOW AHEAD OF AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER DEVELOPING OVER THE GULF STREAM ABOUT 200 MILES EAST OF SAVANNAH. PRIMARY FCST CONCERNS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE THE CHANCE FOR FLASH FLOODING ASSOC WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND A CHANCE FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES THIS AFTERNOON. W/REGARDS TO THE TORNADO THREAT...THE WEAK SFC LOW OVER SC APPEARS TO WEAKEN THIS AFTERNOON AS THE OFFSHORE LOW INTENSIFIES AND MOVES NORTH TOWARD THE NC COAST. THIS WILL HELP BACK THE LOW LEVEL WINDS TOWARD THE EAST AND ESE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON AND BUMP UP HELICITY VALUES TO 150-200 M2/S2. ADDITIONALLY...THE RUC SHOWS AN H85 LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT THIS AFTERNOON WITH AN ASSOC 30-35KT LLJ OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN. LIMITING FACTOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE INSTABILITY WITH BKN-OVC SKIES OVER MOST OF THE AREA. THREAT FOR TORNADOES WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO EAST OF A LINE FROM FAY-RDU-HNZ BETWEEN 18Z-00Z ALONG POCKETS OF WEAK INSTABILITY WHERE CLOUD BREAKS ALLOW SOME DEGREE OF INSOLATION. -VINCENT && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 305 AM EDT TUE JUN 27 2006) SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT: THE TWO PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS THIS MORNING ARE POTENTIAL FLOODING RAINS AND THE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS. LOOKING FIRST AT THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT... SHOWERS SO FAR OVERNIGHT HAVE BEEN PATCHY AT BEST OVER CENTRAL NC... AS OBSERVED SURFACE STREAMLINES CONTINUE TO SHOW BROADLY DIFFLUENT FLOW. THE SHOWERS THAT HAVE PASSED THROUGH THE CWA HAVE DROPPED A QUARTER INCH TO NEARLY ONE INCH IN AN HOUR. GOES SOUNDER DPI PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY SHOWS VALUES OF 1.8-2.0 CONTINUING TO STREAM INTO THE CWA. EXPECT RAINFALL TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS THE TROPICAL LOW NEAR SAV AND ITS MID LEVEL VORTICITY MAX RIDE NORTHWARD. WILL CONTINUE WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FROM EARLY-MID MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON... WITH A GRADUAL TAPERING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST REFLECTED IN THE GRIDDED POP FORECASTS THROUGH THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. LARGE SCALE LIFT FROM INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER CONVERGENCE... COUPLED WITH INCREASING UPPER DIVERGENCE WITH STRONG AGEOSTROPHIC RESPONSE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE 80+ KT SOUTHERLY GREAT LAKES JET AS IT HEADS EASTWARD... SHOULD HELP FILL IN THE CURRENT RAIN GAPS OVER CENTRAL NC PRETTY QUICKLY THIS MORNING. FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS IS... EXPIRING AT 6PM. NEXT ADDRESSING THE SEVERE THREAT... NORTHEAST OF THE INCOMING LOW THE NAM SHOWS A 30-40 KT SOUTHEASTERLY 850 MB JETLET OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST NC BENEATH STRONG UPPER DIVERGENCE AND INCREASING PVA. INSTABILITY WILL BE MARGINAL CONSIDERING THE VERY MOIST COLUMN... HOWEVER IF WE CAN GET ANY LOW LEVEL HEATING AT ALL... ISOLATED TORNADIC CELLS APPEAR LIKELY. THE VORTICITY GENERATION PARAMETER ON THE NAM CLIMBS TO 0.3-0.4... THE BULK RICHARDSON NUMBER GOES TO 15-25... LCL DROPS TO 300 M... AND THE 0-1KM HELICITY EXCEEDS 150 M2/S2. WILL ADDRESS THIS RISK AS WELL AS THE FLOODING RISK IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT: PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES DROP BACK CLOSER TO NORMAL AS WE LOSE THE TROPICAL MOISTURE IN FAVOR OF A DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW... WITH THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS STILL TO OUR WEST. A FAIRLY STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION DEVELOPS ALOFT PARTICULARLY ON THE NAM WHICH SHOWS AN ALMOST UNBREAKABLE WARM LAYER AROUND 600 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION ALONG AND EAST OF THE SURFACE TROUGH THAT IS PROJECTED TO SIT OVER THE PIEDMONT WILL LIKELY DEPEND GREATLY ON THE DEGREE OF BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND WHETHER ANY LOW LEVEL PARCELS WILL BE ABLE TO BREAK THE CAP. THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS MARGINAL... ABOUT 30-35 KT... BUT BOTH THE NAM AND GFS HINT AT POTENTIALLY ENHANCED UPPER DIVERGENCE WITHIN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE JET TO OUR NORTHWEST... JUXTAPOSED NICELY WITH THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A WEAKER WESTERLY UPPER JETLET TO OUR SOUTHWEST. LAPSE RATES DO STEEPEN IN THE -10 TO -30 LAYER WITH A LOWERING WBZ SO WILL NEED TO WATCH ANY SUSTAINED CELLS FOR A POSSIBLE HAIL THREAT. WILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT RISING TO CHANCES EASTWARD... CARRIED THROUGH THE EVENING. HAVE RAISED MAX TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO WITH EXPECTATIONS OF A DRY ADIABATIC THERMAL PROFILE. -GIH LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SHIFT EAST THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH 850 MB FLOW GOING WEST AND NORTHWEST. INSTABILITY REMAINS MODERATE ON THURSDAY AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION STILL APPEARS POSSIBLE. SURFACE FRONT SHIFTS TO THE COAST ON BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF BY FRIDAY MORNING WITH THE UPPER JET AXIS DROPPING TO OUR SOUTHEAST... AND CONVECTION CHANCES FRIDAY LOOK QUITE SMALL WITH WEAK LAPSE RATES ALOFT. BROAD UPPER TROUGHING HOLDS OVER CANADA OVER THE WEEKEND WITH WEAK WEST TO NORTHWEST MID LEVEL FLOW THROUGH NC. THE OFFSHORE SURFACE HIGH ON THE GFS/ECMWF BUILDS BACK WESTWARD INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. AND THIS PATTERN POINTS TO INCREASING HEAT WITH ONLY SMALL CHANCES OF DIURNALLY-DRIVEN STORMS... PRIMARILY ALONG THE LEE TROUGH AND WITH THE SEA BREEZE. WILL RAISE DAILY HIGHS A COUPLE OF DEGREES BUT OTHERWISE NO CHANGES NEEDED TO EXISTING FORECAST. -GIH AVIATION... THE SE-S LOW LEVEL FLOW OF MOISTURE PERSISTS... AND SHORT RANGE MODELS AGREE ON ADDITIONAL SURGES OF MORE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL NC TODAY. THE GRAND FINALE APPEARS ON THE WAY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH MOVES THROUGH CENTRAL NC. PERIODS OF PREVAILING SHRA WILL BE MENTIONED THROUGHOUT THE TAF SITES TODAY... WITH A MUCH LESS CHANCE OF SHOWERS AFTER THE TROUGH PASSAGE LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT. CEILINGS WILL BE QUITE VARIABLE... BUT SHOULD LOWER INTO THE IFR TO LIFR THROUGH DAWN. THESE CIGS TO LIFT TO A SCATTERED-BROKEN MVFR BASE WITH A HIGHER MVFR CEILING THAT IS TYPICAL OF A MORE TROPICAL AIR MASS LATER IN THE MORNING. -PWB && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON. THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE ALONG WITH FAVORABLE WINDS ALOFT WILL RESULT IN THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. THE PRIMARY RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE FLASH FLOODING. AS THE SHOWERS BECOME WIDESPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...MANY LOCATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RECEIVE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF THREE INCHES POSSIBLE. SINCE THE SOIL IS SATURATED FROM RECENT HEAVY RAIN...THIS ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL QUICKLY RUN OFF...FILLING CREEKS AND STREAMS. MOTORISTS THIS AFTERNOON ARE URGED TO AVOID INTERSECTIONS AND STREETS KNOWN TO FLOOD DURING HEAVY RAIN EVENTS. THE SECONDARY RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE ISOLATED TORNADO RISK APPEARS TO BE GREATEST ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1. WHILE NO SEVERE WEATHER WATCHES ARE IMMINENT...PEOPLE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA ARE ENCOURAGED TO KEEP CLOSE TABS ON THE LATEST WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN TO A RELIABLE SOURCE OF WEATHER INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON.
