AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
852 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SLOWLY APPROACHING FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AND
CROSS THE REGION SATURDAY. A DRIER AND MORE SEASONABLE AIR MASS WILL
FILTER IN FROM THE NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 852 PM FRIDAY...
PROBLEM OF THE NIGHT WILL BE THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE
APPROACH OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH FROM THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. THE
MAIN THREATS APPEAR TO BE HEAVY RAIN (FROM TRAINING AND SLOW MOVING
STORMS)... FREQUENT LIGHTNING... AND THE CONTINUED CHANCE OF A WET
MICROBURST WITH WINDS NEAR SEVERE LIMITS.
FORECAST OF HIGH POPS APPEARS ON TARGET FOR OUR WESTERN PIEDMONT.
WATER VAPOR SATELLITE DATA INDICATED A SHEAR AXIS STRETCHING FROM SW
TO NE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. AN MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX
WAS SEEN MOVING EAST INTO THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS WITHIN THE
APPROACH OF THE MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THE LATEST CONVECTIVE
PARAMETERS CONTINUE TO POINT TO THE PIEDMONT AND POSSIBLY THE
SANDHILLS FOR THE HIGHEST THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE FAR EASTERN
ZONES FROM THE COAST INLAND A FEW COUNTIES HAVE GREATLY STABILIZED.
THE APPROACHING TROUGH SHOULD COMBINE WITH THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE
OUTFLOWS TO PRODUCE AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGHOUT THE PIEDMONT INTO THE SANDHILLS THROUGH 1200 AM. ACTIVITY
SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH AFTER THAT. THE CHANCES IN THE FAR EAST
APPEAR LOW (SLIGHT). -BADGETT
&&
.SHORT TERM/SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM FRIDAY...
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT:
A BAND OF CONVECTIVE SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO BE PROGRESSING EASTWARD
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY MORNING...COINCIDENT TO THE
PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND ATTENDANT WEAK SURFACE COLD
FRONT...MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH CENTRAL PIEDMONT DURING THE
MORNING...AND THEN THROUGH COASTAL SECTIONS BY THE AFTERNOON. THIS
WILL RESULT IN HIGHER RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF BY MIDDAY
WITH CONVECTIVE REDEVELOPMENT ALONG AND EAST OF US 1... IN THE
MOISTURE LADEN AIRMASS REGIME WHERE PWATS WILL REMAIN NEAR 2.0" AND
DAYTIME HEATING WILL RESULT IN MODERATE INSTABILITY. WINDS ALOFT
ARE PROGGED TO REMAIN VERY WEAK...SUPPORTING PULSE SEVERE
CONVECTION...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MULTICELLULAR CONVECTION TO
EVOLVE IF A SURFACE COLD POOL EVOLVES. WET DOWNBURSTS WILL BE THE
GREATEST THREAT ALONG WITH LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING GIVEN ANTECEDENT
WET PATTERN OF THE PAST WEEK.
POPS WILL DIMINISH BY THE EVENING AS INSTABILITY WANES AND FRONT
SLIPS SOUTH OF THE AREA. MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL LINGER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER...INVOF THE FRONT...SUPPORTING
CLOUDS/STRATUS OVERNIGHT.
WITH TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE AREA AND EXPECTED ON GOING PRECIP
ACROSS THE AREA...CLOUD COVER SHOULD BE MORE EXTENSIVE/OPAQUE WITH
MINIMAL BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER MATERIALIZING. HIGHS 87 TO 90. LOWS
SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT:
EASTWARD EXPANSION OF CENTRAL US UPPER RIDGE INTO THE REGION
WILL SUPPRESS THE FRONT SOUTH OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY. THE RESULTANT
WARMING/SUBSIDENCE ALOFT WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS. THE
EXCEPTION IS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN TIER WHERE NEAR SURFACE MOISTURE
WILL REMAIN HIGH AS TRANSITORY SURFACE ANTICYCLONE QUICKLY BUILDS
SOUTH INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST...RESULTING IN AN
EASTERLY-SOUTHEASTERLY ATLANTIC MARITIME FEED IN THE LOWEST 1KM.
THUS COULD SEE ISOLATED POPS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST WITH INLAND
RETREATING SEABREEZE...ALONG WITH WEAK ECHO DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST IN THE UPSLOPE/WAA REGIME. HIGHS IN THE 89 TO 93. LOWS 69
TO 72.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM FRIDAY...
AS UPPER TROUGH EVOLVES OVER THE WEST COAST...DOWNSTREAM RIDGE WILL
BUILD OVER THE LOWER MISS VALLEY AND THE MID SOUTH. CENTRAL NC WILL
SEE A RETURN TO MID TO UPPER 90 DEGREE READINGS UNDERNEATH THE UPPER
RIDGE AXIS THROUGH MIDWEEK...CLIMAXING TUESDAY WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS
APPROACHING RECORD HIGH VALUES (SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW FOR DAILY
RECORD HIGHS)AS LOW-LEVEL THICKNESSES AND H8 TEMPS TOP OUT AOA
1435-1440M AND 21C RESPECTIVELY. NWLY STEERING FLOW BETWEEN THE
UPPER RIDGE AXIS OVER MS VALLEY AND UPPER VORTEX OVER SOUTHEAST
CANADA...COULD SPELL SOME RELIEF FROM THE HEAT...BY MEANS OF
SOUTHEASTWARD PROPAGATING MCS CLUSTERS ORIGINATING IN OHIO/CENTRAL
MS VALLEY. WHILE TIMING IS STILL IN QUESTION...THE BETTER RAIN
CHANCES WILL LIKELY BE RESERVED FOR A SURFACE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY. WILL KEEP POPS SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS THROUGH TUESDAY...INCREASING SLIGHTLY TO CHANCE POPS TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY IN ASSOCIATION FRONT PASSAGE.
NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH A
BREAK FROM THE HUMIDITY AS WELL WITH A LOW-LEVEL FEED FROM THE
NORTH-NORTHEAST AS SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH.
DRY THE LAST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND
90...WITH LOWS IN THE 65 TO 70.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 830 PM FRIDAY...
24-HR TAF PERIOD:
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING IN ASSOCIATION WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS COUPLED
WITH IMPULSES ALOFT MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. THINK THE BEST CHANCES
OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA PIEDMONT TAF
SITES... KRDU/KGSO/KINT. THUS... HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO GROUP FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS AT THOSE LOCATIONS FOR THIS EVENING. ELSEWHERE...
WILL ONLY CARRY CB THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT (ALTHOUGH ISOLATED STORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE EVEN AFTER MIDNIGHT). GIVEN THE MOIST LOW LEVEL
AIRMASS IN PLACE AND RECENT RAIN EXPECT WIDESPREAD IFR TO POSSIBLY
LIFR CEILINGS TO DEVELOP BY 09Z...PERSISTING THROUGH AT LEAST 13-15Z
SATURDAY (MVFR AFTER THEN)... ALTHOUGH THE INT/GSO TERMINALS COULD
SEE VFR CONDITIONS BY 13Z SAT AS A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIRMASS ADVECTS
INTO PORTIONS OF THE N/NW PIEDMONT BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH. EXPECT KRDU/KFAY/KRWI TO LIFT TO VFR BY EARLY
AFTERNOON SATURDAY. THINK THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
BE ACROSS THE EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THUS... HAVE INCLUDED CB FOR KRDU/KFAY/KRWI FOR
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE TROUGH ALOFT MOVES ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
THE AREA.
LOOKING AHEAD:
EXPECT GENERALLY DRY/VFR CONDITIONS SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT IN ASSOC/W WEAK SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO CENTRAL NC.
THERE WILL BE AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS TUE/TUE NIGHT
IN ASSOCIATION WITH NW FLOW ALOFT AND AN APPROACHING FRONT.
