NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 8, 5:07 PM EST, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 607 PM EDT FRI JUN 8 2007 .SYNOPSIS...A PREFRONTAL TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS EVENING... THEN PROGRESS INTO THE PIEDMONT TONIGHT. THIS MAY FOCUS THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... THE FORECAST HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INDICATE THE BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION TO BE OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT... SOUTHERN PIEDMONT... AND SANDHILLS THIS EVENING. A THERMAL TROUGH EXTENDED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES ACTING AS A FOCUS... AND THE SCATTERED CONVECTION THAT ORIGINATED OVER THE MOUNTAINS HAS MOVED INTO THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN FOOTHILLS WHERE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WARNINGS WERE ISSUED FOR STOKES AND CATAWBA COUNTIES BETWEEN 500 AND 545 PM. THE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO STAY RATHER ISOLATED OR WIDELY SCATTERED OVER NEAR THESE FOCUSING AREAS THROUGH 800 PM OR 900 PM... WITH LITTLE IF ANY ACTIVITY ELSEWHERE. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION MAY EITHER MOVE IN AS A LINE... OR REDEVELOP MID TO LATE EVENING AS THE LINE OF STRONG STORMS MOVING INTO THE APPALACHIANS CROSSES THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN WILL BE THE NW PIEDMONT WHERE THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS OVERNIGHT. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING. THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK HAS BEEN UPDATED FROM SPECIFIC DETAILS. WARM AND HUMID OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS GENERALLY IN THE LOWER 70S. -BADGETT && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/... CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE DAY POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY. HOWEVER... THE PLACEMENT OF THE OUTFLOW OR TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE OVER CENTRAL NC OVERNIGHT... WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE CONVECTIVE DEVELOP AGAIN FOR SATURDAY. IT MAY BE THAT THE CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY WILL SLIP TO OUR SOUTHERN OR EASTERN COUNTIES BY EARLY AFTERNOON. IF THE ACTIVE CONVECTION OR AN OLD OUTFLOW FROM THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION DOES NOT AFFECT OUR REGION... A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL BE IN PLACE WITH SURFACE BASED LIFTED INDICES -4 TO -6 DEG C. IN ADDITION, MID/UPPER LEVEL WINDS WILL BE INCREASING AS REGION IN NOSE OF H3 JET BY LATE AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES RESPECTABLE WITH VALUES BETWEEN 6 AND 6.5 DEG C/KM. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE FOR DEEP CONVECTION TO FIRE. LATEST MODEL RUN HAS BECOME MUCH DRIER IN THE MID/UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THUS...12Z MOS POP GUIDANCE WAS AT OR BELOW 20% ACROSS CENTRAL NC. DUE TO STRENGTH OF DYNAMICS ALOFT AND POTENT COLD FRONT CROSSING REGION AROUND MAX HEATING...BELIEVE MOS GUIDANCE TOO LOW WITH POPS. WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE OF STORMS EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1. POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STORMS TO BE SEVERE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE LOCALIZED DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS THE MAIN THREAT FOLLOWED BY LARGE HAIL. FREQUENT/EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING ALSO A CONCERN...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN AND THE SANDHILLS. AIR MASS BECOMES DRIER AND MORE STABLE SUN-MON AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES EXTEND SEWD INTO CENTRAL NC. DEWPOINTS SUN INTO MON EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MORE COMFORTABLE 50S AND LOWER 60S. MODELS DO DEPICT A DECENT VORT MAX CROSSING THE AREA SUN AFTERNOON. HOWEVER THE AIR MASS APPEARS TOO DRY TO SUPPORT NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW CLOUDS. TEMP WISE...POTENTIAL FOR A FEW HOURS HEATING SATURDAY. THIS SHOULD HELP TO PUSH TEMPS INTO THE 90-95 DEGREE RANGE. HOWEVER...IF SCATTERED SHOWERS OCCURRING SATURDAY MORNING...MAX TEMPS MAY BE 3-4 DEGREES TOO WARM. NLY FLOW SUN INTO MON WILL USHER SEASONABLE AND LESS HUMID AIR INTO CENTRAL NC. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES FAVOR MAX TEMPS COMPARABLE TO NAM MOS...GENERALLY MID/UPPER 80S BOTH DAYS. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL VARY FROM UPPER 60S IN THE SOUTH WHERE DRIER/COOLER AIR DELAYED UNTIL SUN. LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE 60-65 DEGREE RANGE. -BADGETT/WSS && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... L/W TROUGH IN VICINITY OF THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE LOWER MS VALLEY INTO THE GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS TUESDAY WITH TEMPS CLOSE TO SEASONABLE NORMS. DECENT S/W IN THE NORTHERN STREAM EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS BY MID WEEK THEN LIFT INTO THE GREAT LAKES LATE IN THE WEEK. THIS SYSTEM WILL FLATTEN RIDGE TO OUR WEST...POSSIBLY ALLOWING SOME ENERGY ALOFT TO SLIDE INTO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC THU-FRI. MARGINALLY MOIST AIRMASS COUPLED WITH HEATING AND WEAK SUPPORT ALOFT MAY BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER CONVECTION WED-FRI. DO NOT EXPECT ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION WED-FRI...SO EXPECT RAIN THREAT TO BE NO HIGHER THAN 20-25%. TEMPS THROUGH PERIOD SHOULD HOVER CLOSE TO NORMAL. && .AVIATION /22Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... EXPECT SCATTERED CU 5 TO 6KFT THROUGH 00Z AT ALL TAF SITES. POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF CIGS 4-6KFT VSBYS 4-6 MILES THROUGH SOUTHWEST WINDS 8 TO 10 MPH WITH BRIEF GUSTS 12-18 MPH. AFTER 04Z...MINIMAL CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WESTERN TAF SITES...GSO/INT AS WINDS SHIFT AROUND TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST. BUT CONTINUING CHANCE RDU-RWI-FAY THROUGH DAYBREAK WHERE AIR MASS REMAINS UNSTABLE AND SURFACE TROUGH IN THE VICINITY. FOR SATURDAY...COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA...THUS CONTINUED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CIGS 4-5KFT IN SHOWERS AND STORMS. VFR CONDITIONS SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AS MORE STABLE AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS MOVING INTO AREA. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
