AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 301 PM EDT THU JUN 13 2013 .SYNOPSIS... A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC...AND THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT FOR THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY... ...PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT... PDS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM. THE LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE SHOWED MLCAPE FROM NEARLY 2000J/KG TO CLOSE TO 4000J/KG ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. 0-6KM SHEAR WAS STILL BETTER NORTH...FROM NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER NORTH INTO VIRGINIA...BUT DOWNDRAFT CAPE WAS A ROBUST 1000-1500J/KG THROUGHOUT CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. MSAS SURFACE-BASED LIFTED INDICES WERE -8C TO -10C. THE LATEST KGSO SOUNDING...FROM 18Z...SHOWED A CAP REMAINING AROUND 800MB BUT WITH THE LAYER AROUND 800MB COOLING SINCE 12Z. THE 18Z SOUNDING AT KRNK SHOWED THE CAP JUST ABOVE 800MB HAD ERODED... SUFFICIENTLY FOR A GUST AT KROA TO 59KT WITH STORM PASSAGE AT 1828Z. THE LATEST HRRR WRF CONTINUES WITH A TIMING OF 19Z TO 21Z IN THE IMMEDIATE TRIAD...21Z TO 23Z IN THE TRIANGLE NEAR KRDU AND SOUTHWEST ALONG U.S. 1...AND IN VICINITY OF 22Z OR JUST A LITTLE LATER TOWARD KRWI...KFAY...AND THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR. WHILE THE 0-3KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY ON THE 18Z KGSO SOUNDING WAS 84M2/S2...ONE STILL CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A TORNADO...AS STORM RELATIVE HELICITY IN THE LOWEST 3KM ON THE SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE APPEARED PRETTY ACCURATE AND WAS ABOVE 100M2/S2 OVER MOST OF THE REST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...HIGHEST RELATIVE TO THE REST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA NORTHEAST OF THE TRIANGLE. -10C TO -30C CAPE IS ON THE ORDER OF 1000J/KG AS WELL...SUFFICIENT FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND ASSISTING WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING POTENTIAL WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS...ALREADY SHOWN ON THE 15-MINUTE LIGHTNING PLOT EXTENDING FROM VIRGINIA SOUTHWEST INTO THE MOUNTAINS. OVERNIGHT...SUBSIDENCE AND GRADUAL CLEARING SHOULD TAKE PLACE BEHIND THE DEEP CONVECTION. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD LAG THE DEEP CONVECTION...AND WILL HOLD ONTO POPS FOR A SHORT PERIOD BEHIND THE TIMING NOTED ABOVE. HOWEVER...NAM AND GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOW AN INCREASING STABLE AIR MASS WITH DIMINISHING LAPSE RATES ALOFT. WILL HAVE POPS BELOW SLIGHT CHANCE THROUGHOUT CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA BY 05Z...AND THIS COULD END UP BEING SLOW EVEN IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST TOWARD KCTZ. LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S. FRIDAY...IN THE TIGHT GRADIENT IN THE MORNING BEHIND THE DEPARTING STRONG LOW...WIND GUSTS SHOULD INCREASE TO AROUND 20KT IN PLACES WITH MIXING. THESE VALUES SUBSIDE DURING THE AFTERNOON AS 850MB AND 925MB WINDS DIMINISH. WHILE PRECIPITABLE WATER AND K INDICES SHOW A BRIEF INCREASE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF ANOTHER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND THE APPROACH OF THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 85KT 300MB AND 55KT 500MB JET...DIVERGENCE AT 850MB AND STABLE BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY RELATIVELY DEEP CONVECTION. BUFR SOUNDINGS...HOWEVER... NOTE THE POTENTIAL FOR SHALLOW HIGH SC OR LOW AC DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND WILL AT LEAST FEATURE IN THE GRIDDED FORECAST A PARTLY SUNNY SKY FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY... BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM...CONDITIONS WILL DRY OUT AND COOL DOWN THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT (ALTHOUGH THE CORE OF THE MID/UPPER HIGH WILL REMAIN WEST OF OF THE REGION BEFORE FLATTENING OUT BY THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND) WILL LEAD TO MORE SUNSHINE AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. TEMPS SHOULD STAY SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID 80S. COMFORTABLE OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY LOWER 60S...BUT SOME UPPER 50S WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH A SLIGHT MODERATION FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SLOWLY BEGINS TO RETURN. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 245 PM THURSDAY... THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME TIMING/STRENGTH ISSUES BETWEEN THE MODELS. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT WILL REMAIN MOSTLY DRY AS THE STORM SYSTEM REMAINS TO OUR NORTH AND WEST. BY MONDAY...WITH INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW...WE WILL REALLY BEGIN TO SEE OUR MOISTURE RETURN...WITH PWAT VALUES RISING ABOVE 1.5 INCHES. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL STILL BE EAST OF THE AREA ON MONDAY... THEREFORE AM EXPECTING MOSTLY DIURNALLY FORCED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE TRAILING FRONT LOOKS TO CROSS THE AREA SOMETIME TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT...THEREFORE THIS IS WHEN THE HIGHEST PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE FOCUSED. THE FRONT LOOKS TO STALL SOMEWHERE NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AND THIS WILL BE WHAT ULTIMATELY DRIVES OUR PRECIP CHANCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. FOR NOW WILL KEEP SOME POPS (MOSTLY SLIGHT CHANCE) IN FOR THIS TIME FRAME AND DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT...THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY AREA TO RECEIVE SOME PRECIP. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPS BEHIND THE FRONT. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 112 PM THURSDAY... VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE PREVALENT THROUGH THE 18Z VALID TAF PERIOD OUTSIDE OF DEEP CONVECTION. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE TIMING CONTINUES TO SEEM SIMILAR TO THAT NOTED IN THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BASED ON THE LATEST GUIDANCE...19Z TO 21Z IN THE IMMEDIATE TRIAD...21Z TO 23Z IN THE TRIANGLE NEAR KRDU...AND IN VICINITY OF 22Z TOWARD KRWI AND KFAY. SIGNIFICANT CROSSWINDS COULD DEVELOP WITH POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS. THE GRADIENT SHOULD TIGHTEN LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND STILL ANTICIPATE A FEW WIND GUSTS NEAR 30KT WITH MIXING AHEAD OF DEEP CONVECTION. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY VEER TO WEST AND NORTHWEST OR NORTH-NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY AS SKIES GRADUALLY CLEAR. FRIDAY MORNING...WITH MIXING AND A TIGHT GRADIENT BEHIND STRONG LOW PRESSURE OFF OF THE MID-ATLANTIC MOVING AWAY FROM THE REGION... EXPECT A FEW SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 20KT. BEYOND THE 18Z VALID TAF PERIOD...VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THE WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE A GRADUAL INCREASE IN CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE AIR MASS MOISTENS AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA VERY LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. THERE IS ALSO AT LEAST A SMALL CHANCE OF MORNING LOW CLOUDS TUESDAY. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...SEC NEAR TERM...DJF SHORT TERM...KRR LONG TERM...KRR AVIATION...DJF
