AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
315 PM EDT THU MAY 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS CENTRAL NC THIS AFTERNOON AND EXIT THE
REGION THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT
WHILE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST.
THIS WILL RESULT IN A SEASONABLY COOL NORTHEAST FLOW ACROSS OUR AREA
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM THURSDAY...

TONIGHT...CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN
COUNTIES AND ALONG A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH LYING CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY
1 CORRIDOR. CONVECTION IN THE SOUTH LIKELY AIDED BY A MID LEVEL
VORTICITY MAXIMUM SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SPINNING OVER NORTHERN
GA. WHILE CONVECTION IN THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN EDGING SWWD INTO
THE EASTERN PIEDMONT APPEARS TIED TO ANOTHER VORT MAX LIFTING NE IN
THE SW FLOW ALOFT ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST. COASTAL VORT MAX
PROJECTED TO LIFT AWAY FROM OUR REGION BY 22Z-00Z SO SHOULD SEE
CONVECTION DIMINISH IN VICINITY OF THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND NE
PIEDMONT BY EARLY EVENING. OVER THE SOUTH...CONVECTION WILL SLOWLY
DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING BUT PRESENCE OF VORT MAX TO OUR SW
MAY GENERATE A SHOWER OR TWO OVERNIGHT.

WHILE DRIER MORE STABLE AIR WILL EVENTUALLY WORK ITS WAY SWD FROM VA
LATE TONIGHT INTO FRI MORNING...MOISTURE IN THE SW FLOW ALOFT WILL
LIKELY MAINTAIN A DECK OF MID/HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE SE HALF OF
CENTRAL NC OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. DUE TO CLOUD COVERAGE AND
SLOWER ARRIVAL OF DRIER MORE STABLE AIR...HAVE RAISED MIN TEMPS 2-3
DEGREES FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.

FRIDAY...DRY AIR RIDGE AT THE SURFACE ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE HIGH
OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL PROVIDE TRANQUIL WEATHER TO MUCH OF
CENTRAL NC. A WEAK SHEAR AXIS ALOFT AND CIRCULATION AROUND AN AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE OFFSHORE WILL MAINTAIN SOME DEGREE OF CLOUDINESS
OVER THE SE HALF OF THE CWA. MAINLY HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS EXPECTED
THOUGH COULD SEE PATCHES OF STRATUS NEAR GOLDSBORO...TARBORO AND
CLINTON. PRESENCE OF SHEAR AXIS ALOFT MAY SUPPORT AN ISOLATED SHOWER
IN THE FAR SOUTH THOUGH MOISTURE APPEARS LACKING. TEMPS SHOULD BE
UNIFORM DUE TO EXPECTED CLOUD COVERAGE IN THE EAST. MAX TEMPS IN THE
MID-UPPER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 PM...

FRIDAY NIGHT...DRY AIR RIDGE OVER THE REGION WILL MAINTAIN TRANQUIL
WEATHER. DEGREE OF CLOUDINESS IN QUESTION WHICH WILL DETERMINE MIN
TEMPS. PRESENCE OF DRIER AIR NEAR THE SURFACE SHOULD RESULT IN TEMPS
A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TONIGHT. EXPECT BULK OF MID/HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS TO OCCUR EAST-SE OF OUR REGION HOWEVER IF CLOUDS MORE
EXTENSIVE TO THE WEST AND THICKER THAN EXPECTED...MIN TEMPS IN THE
EAST WILL END UP BEING 2-3 DEGREES WARMER THAN FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 255 PM THURSDAY...

MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE TRACK OF A WESTWARD
RETROGRADING WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW DURING THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. MODELS OFFER VARYING SOLUTIONS TO THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THIS
WEAK UPPER LOW WHICH IS FORECAST TO CLOSE OFF OVER THE SOUTHEAST
U.S. TODAY AND BRIEFLY SHIFT OFFSHORE ON FRIDAY... BEFORE MOVING
BACK WESTWARD SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. OR MID ATLANTIC
COAST EITHER SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. THE 12Z/17TH GFS HAS TRENDED MORE
TOWARDS THE 00Z/17TH ECMWF IN SHOWING THE LOW MOVING WESTWARD AND
INLAND ACROSS SC. HOWEVER... THE 12Z NAM ATTEMPTS TO BRING THE
FEATURE BACK ONSHORE NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER (WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE
00Z/17TH GFS... BUT FASTER AND CONSIDERED AN OUTLIER... ALTHOUGH
CONFIDENCE IS BELOW AVERAGE) AND WELL INLAND. FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN
GENERAL FORECAST CONTINUITY AND SHOW A DRY FORECAST FOR SATURDAY
WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE CWA FOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT... TRENDING THE FORECAST
TOWARDS A BLEND OF THE LATEST GFS AND ECMWF. BY MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT
THE WEAK MID/UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO BEGIN SHIFT NORTH AND EASTWARD
AND/OR BE ABSORBED BY THE THE NEXT S/W TROUGH ALOFT... WHICH IS
FORECAST TO SHIFT EASTWARD FROM THE CENTRAL U.S. TO THE EASTERN U.S.
FROM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DIFFER ON HOW
FAST THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH... AND RESULTANT BEST PRECIP
CHANCES. FOR NOW WILL SHOW THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE MEDIUM RANGE
ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA MONDAY AFTERNOON (CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS EAST) ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING TROUGH AND
LINGERING MID/UPPER LOW ACROSS THE AREA COUPLED WITH MORE INTENSE
DAYTIME HEATING. HIGH POPS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED SOMETIME TUESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY AS WELL. HOWEVER... GIVEN TIMING AND AMPLIFICATION
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF ALONG WITH RUN TO RUN
DIFFERENCES WILL ONLY CARRY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
EACH DAY.

WILL GO WITH HIGH TEMPS THIS WEEKEND IN THE 70S WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGING DOWN INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST AND
INCREASING CLOUD COVER. THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AN WEAK INVERTED TROUGH SHIFTS INLAND AND
DISSIPATES... ALONG WITH THE HIGH DRIFTING FURTHER EASTWARD WITH
THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT TROUGH ALOFT. THIS WILL ALLOW HIGH TEMPS TO
REBOUND TO AROUND 80 BY MONDAY... TO LOWER TO MID 80S FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. LOW TEMPS WILL FOLLOW A SIMILAR
TREND... COLDEST/COOLEST ON SUNDAY MORNING... MID TO UPPER 50S
(GIVEN THE NAM IS NOT CORRECT... WHICH WOULD BE WARMER)... TO THE
LOWER TO MID 60S BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 150 PM THURSDAY...

SCATTERED CONVECTION AND ASSOCIATED MVFR CEILING/VISIBILITY WILL
OCCUR THROUGH 6 PM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF CENTRAL NC AND
POSSIBLY AFFECT THE KFAY TERMINAL. MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL
OCCUR FARTHER NORTH OVER THE PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN.
DUE TO LIMITED COVERAGE...WILL NOT MENTION RESTRICTIONS DUE TO
WEATHER AT KRDU AND KRWI. BULK OF CONVECTION WILL DISSIPATE BETWEEN
6-9 PM LEAVING VFR CONDITIONS IN ITS WAKE.

A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS COUPLED WITH AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFF THE NC COAST WILL CAUSE A STEADY
NE WIND ACROSS CENTRAL NC LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
SUSTAINED SPEEDS 10-15 MPH WILL BE COMMON WITH GUSTS 20-25 MPH
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT KRWI AND KFAY. THIS NE FLOW WILL ADVECT
MOISTURE OFF THE ATLANTIC INTO CENTRAL NC...RESULTING IN A DECK OF
STRATUS OVERNIGHT WITH CEILINGS VARYING FROM IFR IN THE COASTAL
PLAIN TO MVFR IN THE PIEDMONT.

LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE NLY SATURDAY MORNING...TEMPORARILY
SHUTTING DOWN MOISTURE ADVECTION OFF THE ATLANTIC. THIS SHOULD LEAD
TO DISSIPATION OF STRATUS DECK BUT STILL EXPECT A VEIL OF MID-HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE REGION FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. STEADY NE SURFACE WIND FRIDAY WITH GUSTS 20-25 MPH EXPECTED
WITH THE STRONGER GUSTS IN THE COASTAL PLAIN (KRWI).

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND ACROSS CENTRAL NC SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY WHILE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OFFSHORE. THIS WILL
MAINTAIN A STEADY NNE FLOW ACROSS CENTRAL NC. EXPECT CEILINGS  IN
THE VFR RANGE...MAINLY ABOVE 10000FT.

LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST LATE SATURDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS MODEL
GUIDANCE VARIES IN ITS EVOLUTION OF THE LOW OFFSHORE AND EVENTUAL
MOVEMENT. CURRENTLY FAVOR A SOLUTION THAT WOULD KEEP BULK OF DEEPER
MOISTURE AND RAIN AWAY FROM CENTRAL NC...LEAVING VFR CONDITIONS OVER
OUR REGION. IF THE MODELS THAT ARE MORE WESTWARD WITH THE LOW ARE
CORRECT...THEN WOULD SEE AN INCREASE PROBABILITY OF MVFR CEILINGS
AND AREAS OF RAIN OVER AT LEAST THE EAST HALF OF CENTRAL NC SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY. A RETURN TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON CONVECTION EXPECTED BY
TUESDAY.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
