NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 6:45 PM EST, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 745 PM EDT SUN JUN 6 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. MUCH COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR WILL ARRIVE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY... A STRONG COLD FRONT...CURRENTLY JUST WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS...WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BRINGING WITH IT AN INCREASING CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE ALREADY RISEN INTO UPPER 80S ACROSS THE WEST TO MID 90S ACROSS THE TRIANGLE AND LOCATIONS SOUTH AND EAST. DEWPOINTS ARE STILL IN THE MIDS 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES AND ACCORDING TO THE SPC MESO ANALYSIS HAS RESULTED IN CAPE VALUES OF AT LEAST 1000-1500 J/KG ACROSS THE WEST AND VALUES OVER 2000 J/KG ACROSS THE EAST. ALSO STRONG MID TO UPPER LEVEL WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT SOUTH IN THE REGION LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVEN MORE SO INTO THE EVENING HOURS...RESULTING IN AN INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER SHEAR...WITH 35-40 KNOTS EXPECTED BY 00Z (GREATER THAN 30 KNOTS IS ALREADY JUST NORTH OF THE VIRGINIA BORDER). THEREFORE...A RISK FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS STILL EXISTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVEN MORE SO INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS THESE INGREDIENTS COMBINE TO PRODUCE ORGANIZED MULTICELLS...WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS. INITIALLY ISOLATED STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...AND THEN A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS IS EXPECTED ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT APPROACHES AND BEGINS TO ENTER THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT AROUND 21Z. THE LINE OF SHOWERS MAY STRENGTHEN SOME AS IT REACHES THE SOUTHEAST WHERE HIGHER INSTABILITY RESIDES (EVEN THOUGH SOME NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION WILL OCCUR BY THE TIME THE BROKEN LINE REACHES THIS AREA). STORMS SHOULD CLEAR THE NORTHWEST BY AROUND 00Z...THEN THE SOUTHEAST BY 06-07Z AS THE FRONT SHIFTS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. SHOULD SEE COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT AS THE WINDS SHIFT TO A NORTHERLY DIRECTION BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH LOWS EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE LOW TO MID 60S.. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY... MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY: NOTICEABLY COOLER AND LESS HUMID BEHIND THE CP FRONT FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WORK WEEK AS A 1020 MB PARENT HIGH OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST BUILDS EASTWARD OVER THE REGION...BEFORE SHIFTING OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT. THE UPPER AIR PATTERN FEATURING A BROAD MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH A UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN THIRD WILL RESULT IN NWLY FLOW ALOFT AND DRY CONDITIONS MONDAY...WITH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS INCREASING DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY AND TUESDAY VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH THE 30 YEAR AVERAGE...HIGHS IN THE LOWER AND MID 80S. STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO COOL JUST SHY OF UPPER 50 DEWPOINTS. LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. && .LONG TERM/TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY... TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT: FOCUS TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL TURN UPSTREAM AS STRONG LOW-LEVEL WAA ON THE NOSE OF A 35 TO 40KT H8 JET WILL FOCUS HEAVY CONVECTION ALONG THE BAROCLINIC ZONE STRETCHED NW TO SE FROM THE MID/UPPER MS VALLEY...THROUGH THE LOWER OH VALLEY...AND INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. WHILE THERE REMAINS QUITE OF BIT OF RUN-RUN UNCERTAINTY WITH THE LOW PREDICTABILITY OF MESOSCALE FEATURES/FORCING...MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT THAT THE ANTECEDENT W-NWLY FLOW WILL STEER REMNANT MCS(S)ACTIVITY INTO THE VIRGINIAS AND NORTH CAROLINA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT EARLY TUESDAY. THE PAST FEW MODEL ITERATIONS HAVE TRENDED FARTHER NORTH...WITH THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY MOVING INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA...WHICH SUGGESTS CENTRAL MAY BE ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE PRIMARY MCS TRACK ACROSS THE VIRGINIAS. NONETHELESS... THE ASSOCIATED OUTFLOWS SHOULD EMANATE SOUTHWARD AND SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL NC WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WHILE ITS TOO FAR OUT IT TIME TO GET A RELIABLE ESTIMATE ON AVAILABLE CAPE/INSTABILITY...THERE COULD BE A LEGITIMATE SEVERE EPISODE ON WEDNESDAY...INCLUDING A THREAT OF ISOLATED TORNADOES ACROSS THE FAR NORTH GIVEN PROJECTED STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR OWING TO THE PRESENCE OF THE LLJ AND FRONTAL ZONE. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR MODEL TRENDS OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO AND HIGHLIGHT ANY SEVERE THREAT IN FUTURE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOKS TO COME. WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND HIGHER RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTH SHOULD RESULT IN A RATHER LARGE TEMPERATURE SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S NORTH TO UPPER 80S/NEAR 90 SOUTH. LOWS 67 TO 72. THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY: MODELS ARE TRENDING FASTER WITH THE CONVECTIVE DRIVEN SFC FRONT EARLY THURSDAY...DRIVING THE FRONTAL ZONE AND ASSOCIATED RAIN CHANCES SOUTH OF THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER 12Z THURSDAY. FOR NOW WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH...BUT IF RECENT MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE...THURSDAY COULD BE DRY ALL TOGETHER. WEAK SFC RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT...QUICKLY SHIFTING OFFSHORE AND SETTING UP RETURN FLOW FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. BUT THE MORE PROMINENT FEATURE WILL BE THE PATTERN CHANGE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CLOSED LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN US AND A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN US BY THE WEEKEND...BRINGING A RETURN TO SUMMERTIME HEAT AND HUMIDITY WITH SCATTERED RAIN CHANCES FOCUSED ALONG THE PIEDMONT LEE SIDE TROUGH. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 740 PM SUNDAY... A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONT SURGING SOUTH INTO NC WILL AFFECT TERMINALS FROM NW TO SE OVER THE NEXT 3-6 HOURS. SHOWERS ARE CURRENTLY CROSSING THE TRIAD AND APPROACHING RDU...AND WILL MOVE TO KFAY/KRWI BY 03-04Z. THE THREAT OF CONVECTION HAS DIMINISHED TREMENDOUSLY SINCE THE LAST TAF ISSUANCE AS NO CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED AND CONDITIONS ARE RAPIDLY STABILIZING OVER THE AREA. CURRENTLY DO NOT EXPECT ANY MORE THAN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...MORE LIKELY NEAR KRWI OR KFAY AS THE FRONT NEARS THOSE SITES. COULD SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. GUSTY WINDS UP TO 20-25KT (OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS) WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AS WINDS TURN TO NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT. SKIES WILL CLEAR QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH ONLY A 5-10KT NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WIND AND A FEW STRATOCUMULI AT 5-6K FT EXPECTED ON MONDAY. THERE COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF 15-20KT WIND GUSTS ON MONDAY MORNING...MAINLY BEFORE 15Z...AS MIXING BEGINS AND WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE ARE FORECAST TO STILL BE SOMEWHAT STRONG. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK. ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE BY MIDWEEK...AS AN PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER RETURNS TO CENTRAL NC. && .CLIMATE...
