NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 6, 1:08 PM EST, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 208 PM EDT SUN JUL 6 2008 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS ACROSS THE REGION WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TUESDAY. HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO PROVIDE CONTINUED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON THE REST OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY... ANOTHER ROUND OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. THE JULY SUN HAS DONE ITS PART IN HELPING THE LOW STRATUS DECK MIX OUT SUFFICIENTLY TO ALLOW THE BOUNDARY LAYER TO HEAT UP. TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA WILL FOLLOW SUIT THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON. SPC MESOANALYSIS ALREADY SHOWS 1000-1500 J/KG OF MLCAPE ACROSS THE REGION... EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHEAST ZONES. MLCAPES ON AVERAGE WILL CLIMB TO BETWEEN 1500-2000 J/KG WITH DEWPOINTS HOVERING NEAR 70 DEGREES. WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN CONVECTIVE INITIATION ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS WITH A FEW STORMS QUICKLY BECOMING SEVERE. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO PROPAGATE TOWARD THE NORTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN PIEDMONT...IN ADDITION TO NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE AIDED BY AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS THAT IS VERY SLOWLY MOVING EAST. THIS PLACES OUR REGION IN THE FAVORABLE ENTRANCE REGION OF A 60 KT UPPER JET...WHICH WILL PROMOTE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACROSS THE AREA. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS ALSO WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION. DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS AROUND 25 KT...SO THE STORM MODE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE PULSE WITH AN ISOLATED WIND/HAIL THREAT. AS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE BIGGEST CONCERN AS PRECIPITABLE WATERS HOVER BETWEEN 1.7 AND 2 INCHES. THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PROLIFIC RAINFALL PRODUCERS. FLASH FLOODING IS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN IN AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN HIGH RAIN TOTALS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. BASED OFF OF THE KRAX STORM TOTAL PRECIP MAP...A CORRIDOR FROM LEXINGTON NORTHEAST TOWARD DURHAM AND FURTHER EAST NORTHEAST TOWARD ROANOKE RAPIDS HAS RECEIVED 3-5 INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS. WE WILL WATCH THESE AREAS VERY CLOSELY FOR FLOODING LATER TODAY. GIVEN THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER TROUGH...OUR REGION CONTINUES TO BE IN A FAVORABLE ZONE FOR UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT. CONVECTION WILL PERSIST WELL INTO THE EVENING JUST AS IT HAS THE PREVIOUS TWO NIGHTS. WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS THROUGH 03Z AND MAINTAIN A CHANCE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. LOWS ONCE AGAIN AROUND 70 DEGREES. LOW STRATUS AND FOG A GOOD BET ACROSS AREAS THAT RECEIVE HEAVY RAIN. THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH WILL VERY SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. THE TROUGH WILL NOT BE IN A HURRY TO MOVE EAST OF THE REGION AS A STRONG MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE OPEN WATERS OF THE ATLANTIC (UP TO 596 DM PER THE GFS FORECAST). NUMEROUS STORMS SHOULD AGAIN DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA AS THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE (MLCAPES 1500-2000 J/KG) AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS STAY AROUND 1.75 INCHES. FORCING FROM THE TROUGH ITSELF WILL ALSO AID IN STORM DEVELOPMENT. WILL ADVERTISE LIKELY POPS FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THINK THE COVERAGE ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT MAY BE MORE SCATTERED AS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE SHIFTS EAST TOWARD THE COASTAL PLAIN AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS IN THE WEST DROP TO JUST BELOW 1.4 INCHES. EVEN THOUGH DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS WEAK...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES DO BEGIN TO STEEPEN AS THE COLD CORE OF THE TROUGH MOVES CLOSER. 850-500MB LAPSE RATES INCREASE TO OVER 6.0 C/KM...PARTICULARLY OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. THEREFORE...A SLIGHTLY GREATER CHANCE OF HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE WILL BE PRESENT...ALTHOUGH OVERALL SEVERE THREAT SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED WITH LACK OF STORM ORGANIZATION. HIGH TEMP FORECAST TO BE SIMILAR TO TODAY BASED ON LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES. HIGHS 85-89. -JFB && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 130 PM SUNDAY... MONDAY NIGHT: THE WEAK 250MB UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO BE OVER WEST VIRGINIA OR FAR WESTERN VA BY 00Z TUE...MOVING INTO CENTRAL OR SOUTH-CENTRAL VA BY 12Z TUE MORNING...WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING SOUTH INTO CENTRAL NC/SC. FCST SOUNDINGS ARE A BIT DRIER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...HOWEVER...PWAT VALUES ARE STILL IN THE 1.25-1.75 RANGE... WHICH IS NOT TOO SHABBY. THE VERY NEARBY PRESENCE OF THE UPPER LOW COMBINED WITH A MOIST NOCTURNAL JULY ATMOSPHERE WARRANTS KEEPING IN AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS AFTER MIDNIGHT. HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP A LOW CHANCE (30%) AFTER MIDNIGHT IN EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WHICH SHOULD REMAIN IN A MORE FAVORABLE POSITION JUST EAST OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS. WILL LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE (20%) IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. WILL GO CLOSE TOWARD PERSISTENCE AND CLIMATOLOGY FOR LOW TEMPS...IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. TUESDAY: THE WEAK 250MB UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO MOVE EAST OF CENTRAL NC/VA AND OFF THE DELMARVA COAST BY 00Z WED...ALTHOUGH SOME TROUGHINESS ALOFT REMAINS OVER THE CAROLINAS AT 500MB (LAGGING BEHIND THE 250MB WAVE) THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW PWAT VALUES IN THE 1.50-1.75 RANGE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA TUE...WITH ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT AFTERNOON CONVECTION. DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN WHERE THE HIGHEST CHANCE WOULD BE ON TUE AFTERNOON. COVERAGE SHOULD BE LESS THAN SAT/SUN/MON AS THE UPPER WAVE/LOW CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...AND HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP LOW CHANCE (30%) POPS IN ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. WE MAY NEED TO TRIM DOWN POPS IN THE WEST/SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE THEM A BIT IN THE EAST/NE DEPENDING ON THE ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS OVER THE AREA TUE AFTERNOON/EVENING. WITH NEAR-NORMAL THICKNESSES...HIGH TEMPS SHOULD ALSO BE AROUND NORMAL...IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S...DEPENDING PRIMARILY ON CLOUD COVER AND SHOWERS/STORMS. TUESDAY NIGHT: THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING AT 500MB MOVES OFF TO THE EAST TUE NIGHT...WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMING MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. AS SUCH...HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE (20%) OF SHOWERS/STORMS IN THE FORECAST UNTIL MIDNIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY REMNANT CONVECTION/BOUNDARIES STILL AROUND AFTER SUNSET...BUT HAVE DROPPED POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS NOCTURNAL COOLING SHOULD KEEP ANY INSTABILITY ELEVATED...AND WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING EAST OF THE AREA...THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AVAILABLE DURING THE PREVIOUS FEW NIGHTS SHOULD NO LONGER BE WITH US. WILL CONTINUE PERSISTENCE AND CLIMATOLOGY FOR LOW TEMPS...IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. -VINCENT && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 200 PM SUNDAY... WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BECOMES MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL FOR THE REST OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH NORTH OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES IS PROGGED TO MOVE EAST TOWARD QUEBEC THROUGHOUT THE DAY WED INTO WED NIGHT...WITH AN ASSOCIATED SFC LOW MOVING FROM THE LOWER GREAT LAKES INTO NEW ENGLAND. A WEAK COLD FRONT ASSOC/W THIS SFC LOW WILL APPROACH AND CROSS INTO THE CAROLINAS SOMETIME WED AFTERNOON/EVENING...AND IS PROGGED BY THE GFS TO BECOME EAST-WEST ORIENTED BY SUNRISE THURSDAY MORNING...STALLING OUT SOMEWHERE NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER. THE PRECIP FORECAST WED NIGHT AND THU WILL DEPEND ON WHERE THIS BOUNDARY ENDS UP STALLING OUT ON THURSDAY. AT THIS TIME...WILL ADVERTISE MID CHANCE POPS (40%) ON WED AFTERNOON/EVENING GIVEN A MOIST/UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AND A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE AREA. BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP WED NIGHT AND THU WILL LIKELY BE SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 64 TOWARD THE NC/SC BORDER...WITH LOWER CHANCES IN THE NORTH...DEPENDING ON WHERE THE BOUNDARY STALLS OUT. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY: A DEEP UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS PROGGED TO DEVELOP OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AND CENTRAL GULF COAST BY FRIDAY...RETROGRADING WEST TOWARD TEXAS AND WEAKENING OVER THE WEEKEND. FLOW ALOFT OVER THE CAROLINAS REMAINS MORE OR LESS UNIDIRECTIONAL...ALTHOUGH THE FLOW ALOFT MAY BECOME MORE NORTHWEST OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE CAROLINAS GET ON THE FAR EAST/NE PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE. FCST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW A TYPICAL MOIST/UNSTABLE MID-JULY AIRMASS...AND A SLIGHT OR LOW CHANCE (20-30%) OF PRIMARILY AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS PRETTY REASONABLE DURING THIS TIME FRAME. TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE AROUND NORMAL...IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S FOR HIGHS AND UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S FOR LOWS. -VINCENT && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 115 PM SUNDAY... LOW STRATUS IS MIXING OUT ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE JULY SUN MIXES THE ATMOSPHERE. SKIES WILL SOON BECOME VFR...IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY...AT ALL TERMINALS AS THE CLOUD DECK BECOMES SCATTERED. IN TURN...THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SUFFICIENT HEATING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...AIDED IN PART BY A MID LEVEL TROUGH JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. CONVECTIVE LOCATION AND TIMING WILL HINGE GREATLY ON OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS...THUS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN A TIME MOST FAVORED FOR THUNDER IN THE TAFS. THEREFORE...WILL GO WITH VCTS AT ALL TERMINALS FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 06Z. KEEP IN MIND...EACH TERMINAL WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE AT LEAST A BRIEF TIME OF THUNDER WHICH WILL PRODUCE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ALONG WITH TURBULENCE. ONCE CONVECTION INITIATES AND EVOLVES...TAFS WILL BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THE BEST TIMING FOR THUNDER AT EACH SPECIFIC TERMINAL. CONVECTION WILL LINGER THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT. THE PAST TWO NIGHTS HAS SEEN LOW STRATUS AND FOG DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE RAINFALL AND SINCE THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE WEATHER PATTERN OVERNIGHT...WILL FOLLOW PERSISTENCE IN THE FORECAST. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL BE INTRODUCED AFTER 06Z...PERSISTING TILL AFTER DAYBREAK. IFR CONDITIONS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WHERE HEAVIER RAIN OCCURS LATER TODAY. THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO OUR WEST WILL SLOWLY ADVANCE EAST TOWARD CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA ON MONDAY. ANOTHER DAY OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED IN THE VICINITY OF RDU/RWI/FAY. CONVECTION LIKELY TO BE MORE SCATTERED IN THE TRIAD AS DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE SCOURED OUT TO SOME DEGREE BY THE APPROACHING TROUGH. CB IS INCLUDED AT ALL TERMINALS BEGINNING IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL. CHANCES FOR DIURNAL STORMS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK...ALTHOUGH COVERAGE MAY BE SLIGHTLY LESS TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY. -JFB && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
