AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 230 PM EDT TUE JUN 5 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE OHIO VALLEY LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY... AND REMAIN ALONG THE SOUTHEAST US COAST THROUGH FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE CENTERS AROUND POP. 12Z NAM/WRF APPEARS TO BE VERIFYING BETTER WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH VORT MAX CROSSING AL INTO GA. GFS DOESNT ACCOUNT FOR MUCH CONVECTION WITH THIS SYSTEM AT 18Z. MEAN FLOW WILL TAKE BULK OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS SC. HOWEVER MSAS MESO ANALYSIS HAS BEEN VERY PERSISTENT IN DEPICTING A ZONE OF LOW LEVEL CONFLUENCE AND INSTABILITY EXTENDING FROM THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT INTO THE CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN. UPSTREAM OVER KY...ANOTHER VORT MAX IN THE NORTHERN STREAM EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS LOWER OH VALLEY TONIGHT...AND THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC OVER NIGHT. TAIL END OF THIS FEATURE WILL DRAG ACROSS CENTRAL NC LATE THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT. BASED ON OBSERVED PARAMETERS AND TREND NOTED ON SATELLITE AND REGIONAL RADAR...WILL EXPAND CHANCE POP TO INCLUDE MOST OF THE REGION. TEMPTED TO RAISE TO HIGH CHANCE BUT DOMINATE WESTERLY FLOW HAS TENDENCY TO LIMIT PRECIP COVERAGE EAST OF THE FOOTHILLS SO WILL LIMIT POP TO 30%. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/... SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF EXITING SYSTEM PLUS INCREASING MID/UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL RESULT IN A SUNNY AND WARM DAY ACROSS CENTRAL NC. MODEL THICKNESS ONLY ABOUT 5M LOWER COMPARED TO TODAY (A CHANGE AS MODELS HAD BEEN ADVERTISING THICKNESSES 10-12M LOWER). THUS EXPECT MAX TEMPS WED TO ONLY BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS AFTERNOON. DEWPOINTS WILL ALSO BE A FEW DEGREES LOWER. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... STRONG RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE EAST COAST THU AND FRI WITH HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS BOTH DAYS...THU IN THE LOWER 90S...FRI IN THE MID 90S. SEEING SOME MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF OUR NEXT FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE SURFACE HIGH IS SUPPRESSED SOUTH AND THE UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS OFFSHORE. UPPER SUPPORT WILL BE MINIMAL...WITH A WEAK 60 KT UPPER JET UP ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND NO SIGNAL OF ANY VORT MAXIMA IN THE FLAT H5 FLOW...WILL INTRODUCE SLIGHT CHANCES LATER FRI NIGHT AND ON THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY PENDING FROPA. WE WILL HAVE A GOOD WARMUP AHEAD OF THE FRONT (AROUND 90)...WITH DEW POINTS APPROACHING 70...SO INSTABILITY WILL BE SKY HIGH...WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE WEAK DYNAMICS WILL SUPPORT BETTER COVERAGE THAN INDICATED IF WE CAN GET THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE TO HOLD OFF UNTIL MAX HEATING. THICKNESSES FALL CONSIDERABLY FOR SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE NUDGING SOUTH INTO THE AREA...STILL ABOVE NORMAL...HOWEVER...WITH HIGHS STILL REACHING THE MID 80S. IT WILL BE A BIT LESS HUMID AS WELL...WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER 60S. SURFACE FRONT REMAINS SOUTH OF THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...EXPECT CONSIDERABLE SUN WITH ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION AS HIGHS CLIMB INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S MON AND TUE. && .AVIATION /17Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AN APPROACHING WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL RESULT IN STEADY/BREEZY W-SW SURFACE FLOW THROUGH 01Z ACROSS CENTRAL NC. THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE ENOUGH MOISTURE IN THE MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS TO CAUSE ISOLATED OR SCATTERED CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT. CURRENTLY...BEST SUPPORT FOR CONVECTION WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES. WILL MENTION CB IN TAF TEXT BUT CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO DESIGNATE A SPECIFIC TIME WHEN CONVECTION WILL THREAT A TERMINAL. PLAN TO MONITOR MESO-SCALE FEATURES AND UPDATE TERMINAL WHEN IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT CONVECTION THREAT INCREASING. FRONTAL PASSAGE EXPECTED LATE THIS EVENING AN OVERNIGHT WITH SURFACE BECOMING NW. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND EXITING SYSTEM AND ACCOMPANYING DRIER AIR WILL RESULT IN CLEAR SKIES WED. SURFACE FLOW WILL GRADUALLY BACK TO A WESTERLY DIRECTION BY WED AFTERNOON. MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO CENTRAL NC LATE WED INTO FRI. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRY AND HOT CONDITIONS. A COLD FRONT WILL DRIFT SEWD TOWARD CENTRAL NC LATE FRI INTO SAT. THIS FEATURE MAY TRIGGER EITHER ISOLATED OR SCATTERED CONVECTION FRI NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
