AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 306 PM EDT THU JUN 28 2007 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO EXTEND WESTWARD OVER THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY... PRODUCING WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SLOWLY SOUTH INTO NORTH CAROLINA OVER THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... WINDS AROUND A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH IN THE FOOTHILLS ARE PRODUCING SOME CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE WEST PIEDMONT AND ACROSS NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA. WITH AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER 90S... SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS BROKEN OUT ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND WEAK DYNAMICS TO ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO PERSIST WELL PAST DARK. SURFACE FLOW FORECAST TO BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL TOWARD MIDNIGHT AND CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE... ENDING SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. MOST FAVORED AREAS FOR COVERAGE WILL BE IN THE WEST...WHERE CONVECTION WILL PROPAGATE FROM THE FOOTHILLS...AND ACROSS THE AREA SOUTH OF THE VIRGINIA BORDER. ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS... WITH PRIMARY THREAT OF DOWNBURST WINDS...AND A LESSER THREAT OF NICKEL HAIL. SLOW MOVEMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL POSE A FLOOD THREAT SHOULD THIS OCCUR OVER URBAN AREAS. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE MILD...AND SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT... WITH MOST LOCATIONS SLIPPING INTO THE LOWER 70S BY SUNRISE FRIDAY. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... CURRENT CONDITIONS OF TODAY PERSIST INTO FRIDAY... WITH THE ADDITION OF AN 850 MILLIBAR TROUGH TO THE MIX TO AID IN CONVECTION. WINDS A BIT STRONGER IN THE MID LEVELS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND WILL AID IN SUSTAINING THUNDERSTORM UPDRAFTS. SEVERE THREAT SIMILAR TO TODAY...ALTHOUGH POTENTIAL HAIL SIZES MAY BE CLOSER TO GOLF BALL...AND DOWNBURSTS WELL IN EXCESS OF 65 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE POTENTIAL THREAT WILL COVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA... THE FOCUS WILL BE OVER THE NORTHEAST HALF DURING THE AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE WEST TO NORTHWEST SATURDAY BUT INSTABILITY REMAINS...AS DOES THE 850 MILLIBAR TROUGH. BEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE AREA...IN AND AHEAD OF THE 850 MILLIBAR TROUGH. THE TROUGH EXITS TO THE SOUTHEAST AROUND SUNRISE SUNDAY...LEAVING THE AREA DRY. WHERE CONVECTION HOLDS OFF UNTIL MID TO LATE AFTERNOON... TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO THE 90S FRIDAY. EXPECTING ENOUGH CLOUDS SATURDAY TO KEEP THE NORTH HALF OF THE AREA OUT OF THE 90S. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL NOT DRIFT FAR FROM 70 DEGREES. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES MONDAY...WITH MID LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTING OVER THE AREA FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST TUESDAY. MID LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN IS FORECAST TO BE OFFSHORE THURSDAY. THIS WILL LEAVE NEARLY EVERYONE DRY DURING THIS PERIOD...WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS WARMING INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. MORNING LOWS WILL START OUT IN THE MID 60S...BUT WARM INTO THE LOWER 70S WITH TIME. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BY 18-20Z THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE CWA... WITH THE BEST CHANCE IN THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT (INT/GSO TAF SITES). VFR CONDITIONS WITH SCT/BKN040 CUMULUS AND TOWERING CUMULUS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY LIKELY IN AREAS AFFECTED BY HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. SOME MVFR FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY GIVEN VERY LIGHT WINDS AND A HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE...PRIMARILY IN LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE STATE. LOOKING BEYOND FRIDAY NIGHT...A COLD FRONT VERY SLOWLY EASES SOUTHWARD INTO NORTH CAROLINA OVER THE WEEKEND. THERE IS A CHANCE OF IFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITY SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING ALONG AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT.. AS WINDS SHIFT AROUND TO NORTHEAST WITH SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 10 KNOTS. -VINCENT && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && AVIATION...VINCENT
