AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 255 PM EDT SUN JUN 24 2007 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFFSHORE WILL BUILD WESTWARD OVER THE REGION TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... PRODUCING WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS THROUGH MID WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP THEN SOUTH INTO THE AREA... BRINGING MORE CLOUDINESS AND A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR LATE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AND THEN DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING OVERNIGHT AROUND 9PM. AN OVERNIGHT ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO IS POSSIBLE MAINLY IN THE NW PIEDMONT AND WESTERN SANDHILLS. WILL PUT JUST MENTION OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER AFTER MIDNIGHT IN THE WEST DUE TO A LITTLE MID LEVEL INSTABILITY ACCOMPANIED BY VERY MOST MID LEVELS. STRATUS DECK SHOULD SET UP AGAIN TONIGHT WITH INCREASING 925 MB FLOW SO EXPECT NEARLY OVERCAST SKIES BY MONDAY MORNING WITH A LITTLE FOG. FOG SHOULD NOT BE WIDESPREAD OR DENSE GIVING THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT...BUT STILL IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70...CLOSE TO GUIDANCE. -JO && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AN AIR QUALITY ACTION DAY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE TRIAD MONDAY. DESPITE THE CONTINUED RELATIVELY MOIST CONDITIONS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RUNNING 125-140% OF NORMAL OVER CENTRAL NC... THE PROGRESSIVELY STABILIZING MID LEVELS -- PARTICULARLY OVER THE EASTERN CWA -- WILL LEAD TO LESSER PROBABILITIES OF CONVECTION WITH EACH DAY. HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE NAM SOLUTION THROUGH MID WEEK... AS THE GFS CONTINUES TO PRODUCE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK WHICH WREAKS HAVOC WITH THE VERTICAL THERMAL AND MOISTURE PROFILES OVER NC. NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS ON MONDAY SHOW SURFACE CAPES MOSTLY AT OR BELOW 1000 J/KG DURING PEAK HEATING AND N-CAPE VALUES LESS THAN 0.1 WITH AN EXTREMELY WEAK WIND PROFILE... AND ITS DEPICTION OF SCATTERED AFTERNOON STORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND EASING SLOWLY EASTWARD LOOKS REASONABLE... ALTHOUGH HAVE HELD ONTO THE MENTION OF AN ISOLATED STORM CHANCE AREA-WIDE GIVEN THE FAIRLY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER. MID LEVEL HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO RISE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE ANTICYCLONE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD AND VERY LITTLE POTENTIAL BUOYANCY INDICATED. HAVE NO POPS MENTIONED EITHER DAY EXCEPT FOR THE FAR NORTHWEST PIEDMONT INCLUDING THE TRIAD SINCE A FEW STORMS MAY DROP OFF THE MOUNTAINS. HIGHS 88-92 MONDAY/TUESDAY AND 90-93 WEDNESDAY WITH CONSIDERABLE SUNSHINE. LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S EACH MORNING. -GIH && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE WESTERLIES BEGIN TO INCH SOUTHWARD TOWARD NC WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS THE COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT-PRECEDING PIEDMONT TROUGH SHOULD ALLOW FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS. THE ECMWF AND THE LAST TWO GFS RUNS AGREE FAIRLY WELL EARLY ON WITH THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT AS IT DROPS SOUTHEAST INTO NC LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY... PROPELLED BY THE DEEPENING MID LEVEL TROUGH FROM EASTERN CANADA THROUGH THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY AND NORTHEAST & MIDATLANTIC STATES. SOUTHWESTERLY 850 MB WINDS INCREASE TO 15-20 KT AHEAD OF THE FRONT WHICH SHOULD IMPROVE MOISTURE TRANSPORT SUFFICIENTLY TO INCREASE POPS TO THE GOOD CHANCE RANGE BY SATURDAY. THE ECMWF IS A BIT SLOWER THAN THE OP GFS WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE... AND A SOLUTION IN BETWEEN WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE SLOWER ECMWF IS PREFERRED... SINCE IT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET A QUICK FRONTAL PASSAGE IN NC IN THE SUMMER. WILL HOLD ONTO CHANCE POPS FORWARD THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY AS A RESULT. WITH THE DEVELOPMENT TOWARD A HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN OF A WEST COAST TROUGH / ROCKIES TO PLAINS RIDGE / EASTERN NOAM TROUGH IN THE 7-14 DAY RANGE... EXPECT WARMER-THAN-NORMAL TEMPERATURES THURSDAY TO TRANSITION TO BELOW NORMAL READINGS BY SUNDAY. -GIH && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCT-BKN CUMULUS DECK FROM 3500-5000 FEET WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS. 925 MB SELY FLOW INCREASES OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN PLACE OF THE REGION. WITH A FEW HIGH CLOUDS OVERNIGHT EXPECT MAINLY LOW STRATUS WITH SOME FOG MONDAY MORNING. CEILINGS WILL AGAIN DROP TO 300-500 FEET RESULTING IN IFR CONDITIONS MONDAY MORNING WITH SOME AREAS EXPERIENCING LIFR CONDITIONS. VISIBILITIES DUE TO FOG IN MOST LOCATION WILL RUN 3 MILES OR BETTER...HOWEVER...SOME LOCATIONS IN THE EAST ESPECIALLY FROM FAY AND RWI EAST COULD EXPERIENCE VISIBILITIES LESS THAN ONE MILE. WITH HEATING THE LOW STRATUS DECK AND FOG WILL LIFT MONDAY BY 13-14Z GIVING WAY TO A SCT-BKN CUMULUS DECK AROUND 4 KFT. THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE START TO BREAK DOWN LATE IN THE WEEK AND THE NEXT APPROACHING COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE FRI INTO EARLY SAT. -JO && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AIR QUALITY ACTION DAY FROM 6 AM TO 9 PM EDT MONDAY FOR NCZ021>023-038-039. && SYNOPSIS...HARTFIELD NEAR TERM...JO SHORT TERM...HARTFIELD LONG TERM...HARTFIELD AVIATION...JO
