AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
248 PM EDT SUN JUN 23 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A SEASONABLY MOIST AIRMASS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MID WEEK...IN THE
PRESENCE OF TRANSIENT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES TRACKING EASTWARD
ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1130 AM SUNDAY...

OVERVIEW:
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER EASTERN TN/KY AT 15Z WILL TRACK
SLOWLY NNE INTO OHIO THIS AFT/EVE...PROGRESSING INTO WESTERN PA
OVERNIGHT. DOWNSTREAM OF THE UPPER LOW...EXPECT SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
OVER THE CAROLINAS. IN THE LOWER LEVELS...EXPECT A VERY WEAK RETURN
FLOW ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE...ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFFSHORE IN THE ATLANTIC.

THROUGH TONIGHT:
A SEASONABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE TODAY...CHARACTERIZED BY SFC
DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S AND HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.
THOUGH MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE PERHAPS SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN NORMAL
(NEAR 6.0 C/KM) ACROSS THE REGION IN VICINITY OF THE WEAK UPPER
LEVEL LOW...EXPECT TYPICAL DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR WITH MLCAPE VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 1000-1500 J/KG. THOUGH VERY
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LOW-LEVEL FORCING IS PRESENT...SMALL AMPLITUDE
SHORTWAVES IN SW FLOW ALOFT IN THE PRESENCE OF SEASONABLE MOISTURE/
INSTABILITY AND LITTLE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION SHOULD ALLOW FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE DIURNAL HEATING
CYCLE AND INTO THIS EVENING. WILL INDICATE PRECIP CHANCES RANGING
FROM 40-50%. DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY STRONG CONVECTION GIVEN LOW
DCAPE...MODEST INSTABILITY AND WEAK DEEP-LAYER SHEAR. PRECIP CHANCES
WILL DECREASE BETWEEN 00-03Z IN ASSOC/W NOCTURNAL COOLING AND
INCREASING CIN...THOUGH SOME CHANCE FOR ISOLD SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
LIKELY PERSIST OVERNIGHT IN ASSOC/W SMALL AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCES IN
SW FLOW ALOFT. EXPECT SEASONABLE LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S TO NEAR
70F.

MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT:
A SEASONABLY WARM/MOIST AIRMASS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION
MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...WITH SIMILAR DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION AND
A SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN CLIMATOLOGICAL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS IN ASSOC/W
PERIODIC SMALL AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCES IN WEAK SW/WSW FLOW ALOFT.
SOMEWHAT MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY MAY APPROACH THE REGION
FROM THE NW MON NIGHT...AND COULD RESULT IN ABOVE-NORMAL CHANCES FOR
NOCTURNAL SHOWERS AND STORMS...THOUGH MODEL GUIDANCE VARIES ON THE
TIMING AND LOCATION OF SAID SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND WHETHER OR NOT THIS
OCCURS IS CURRENTLY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. EXPECT HIGHS SIMILAR OR
PERHAPS SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN TODAY IN ASSOC/W SOME MARGINAL
THICKNESS/HEIGHT RISES AS THE WEAK UPPER LOW CURRENTLY IN EASTERN KY
PROGRESSES FURTHER AWAY FROM THE REGION...THOUGH CONVECTION WILL
LIKELY ALTER EXPECTED HIGHS IN SOME LOCATIONS. ANTICIPATE LOWS MON
NIGHT SIMILAR TO TONIGHT...UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 246 PM SUNDAY...

BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE REGION... AND
THE PIEDMONT TROUGH BECOMES MORE PRONOUNCED OVER THE AREA. MLCAPE OF
1500-2000 J/KG AND WEAK SHEAR BOTH TUES AND WED AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WILL SUPPORT PULSE CONVECTION... AND THE MOIST AIRMASS MAY
SUPPORT LINGERING SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO THE NIGHT TIME. LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES SUPPORT HIGHS NEAR NORMAL IN THE UPPER 80S... AND LOWS
IN THE UPPER 60S TO 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 247 PM SUNDAY...

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT THE SURFACE... BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL
DOMINATE THROUGH THE WEEK... LEADING TO A LARGELY PERSISTENCE BASED
FORECAST WITH LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS ISSUANCES. TROUGH WILL DIG
IN TO THE EAST COAST OVER THE WEEKEND. AS UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES
MORE WEST AND NORTHWEST THROUGH FRIDAY... UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
MAY ENHANCE COVERAGE OF CONVECTION. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE
ABOVE NORMAL THIS WEEK WITH CONTINUING SOUTHERLY FLOW AND PW VALUES
INCREASING TO NEAR 2 INCHES. TEMPERATURE ADVECTION REMAINS FAIRLY
NEUTRAL... AND TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY CLIMB TO AROUND 90 WITH LOWS
AROUND 70. A COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MAKE A RUN AT THE REGION LATE IN
THE PERIOD... WHICH WILL POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE CHANCES OF
ORGANIZED CONVECTION LATE IN THE WEEKEND TO EARLY THE FOLLOWING
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM SUNDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD:
A SEASONABLY MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION WILL RESULT IN
RATHER TYPICAL AVIATION CONDITIONS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WITH
CEILINGS THIS AFT/EVE GENERALLY RANGING FROM 3000-4500 FT AGL AND
SUB-VFR CONDITIONS CONFINED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE BETWEEN 00-03Z THIS
EVENING...WITH A LINGERING CHANCE FOR AN ISOLD SHOWER PERSISTING
OVERNIGHT. SUB-VFR FOG OR MVFR/IFR STRATUS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL
TERMINALS BETWEEN 07-13Z MONDAY MORNING...THOUGH UNCERTAINTY IS
RELATIVELY LARGE. SHOULD ANY FOG OR STRATUS DEVELOP...IT WOULD LIFT
TO VFR BETWEEN 12-14Z IN ASSOC/W DIURNAL HEATING AND A SOUTHWEST
BREEZE AT ~10 KT.

LOOKING AHEAD:
EXPECT RELATIVELY TYPICAL AVIATION CONDITIONS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR
TO PERSIST THROUGH MID TO LATE WEEK...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING HOURS...AND A POTENTIAL FOR SUB-VFR MORNING FOG/STRATUS
BETWEEN 08-13Z EACH MORNING. -VINCENT
