NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 2:30 AM EST, 3 hours 8 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 330 AM EDT FRI JUN 7 2013 .SYNOPSIS... TROPICAL STORM ANDREA WILL TRACK ACROSS EASTERN CAROLINAS TODAY ...AND OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT. A WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL LINGER ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA OVER THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... AS OF 308 AM FRIDAY TODAY...ANDREA IN THE VICINITY OF SAVANNAH AT 06Z AND APPEARS TO BE INCREASING IN FORWARD TRANSLATION TO THE NE. BASED ON THIS ASSESSMENT...ANDREA MAY BE CROSSING INTO SE NC BY LATE MORNING...AND EXIT OUR FAR NE COUNTIES BY LATE AFTERNOON. CIRCULATION AROUND THIS SYSTEM WILL SPREAD VERY HIGH PRECIP WATER VALUES INTO ALL OF CENTRAL NC TODAY. SATELLITE DERIVED BLENDED PRECIP WATER PRODUCT SUGGEST PW VALUES APPROACHING 2.5 INCHES OFF THE SC COAST. ALSO NOTED THE DRIER AIR ALOFT BEING ENTRAINED INTO ANDREA AT THIS TIME. THIS SUGGEST THAT THIS SYSTEM LIKELY UNDERGOING ITS TRANSITION TO EXTRATROPICAL STATUS VERY SHORTLY. THE LIFT SUPPLIED BY ANDREA AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE WILL PRODUCE TWO SWATH OF HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING-EARLY AFTERNOON. FIRST SWATH LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PATH OF ANDREA OVER OUR COASTAL PLAIN COUNTIES AND AREAS IMMEDIATELY EAST OUR OUR REGION. A SECONDARY HEAVY RAIN AXIS WILL LIKELY SET-UP IN VICINITY OF OUR NW PIEDMONT OR THE NORTHERN FOOTHILLS-NORTHERN MOUNTAINS IN THE FAVORED MID LEVEL CONFLUENCE ZONE OF THE 700MB CYCLONE. ALSO...THIS REGION WILL BE IN BETTER PROXIMITY OF THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE SUPPLIED BY THE 300MB JET LIFTING ENE ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKES-NEW ENGLAND. THUS PLAN TO MAINTAIN CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH. EXPECT SOLID 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE COASTAL PLAIN...AND 1.5-3 INCHES IN THE NW PIEDMONT WITH 1-2 INCHES EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. STRONGEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH ANDREA HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN OFFSHORE SINCE LANDFALL. MOST INLAND SITES REPORTING GUSTS BELOW 30KTS. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE AS CIRCULATION CENTER TRANSLATES ACROSS OUR REGION LATER TODAY. CURRENTLY HAVE GUSTS TOPPING OUT 30-33KTS IN OUR FAR SE AND THIS STILL MAY BE OVERDONE. DUE TO SATURATED SOILS...IF WINDS ACHIEVE THIS GUTS...COULD SEE A FEW TOPPLED TREES BUT NOT ANTICIPATING ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WIND ADVISORY AT THIS TIME. SLIGHT RISK OF A TORNADO OR TWO STILL APPEARS BEST IMMEDIATELY EAST OF OUR REGION THOUGH THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A ROTATING CELL OR TWO TO AFFECT OUR FAR EAST-SE COUNTIES (EAST OF I-95). RISK OF A WEAK TORNADO BEST IN OUR FAR SE COUNTIES BETWEEN 09-15Z...AND OUR FAR EASTERN COUNTIES BETWEEN 12Z-18Z. TEMPS TODAY DEPENDENT UPON ANY BREAKS IN OVERCAST SKIES...ALWAYS POSSIBLE IN A TROPICAL AIR MASS. EXPECT WARMEST TEMPS IN THE SOUTH WITH LOWER 80S THOUGH MID 80S POSSIBLE IF BREAKS OCCUR. COOLER TEMPS NORTH WITH MAX TEMPS MAINLY IN THE UPPER 70S. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 330 AM FRIDAY... TONIGHT...AFFECTS OF ANDREA WILL BEGIN TO ABATE EARLY IN THE EVENING THOUGH SFC WINDS WILL INITIALLY BE BREEZY OUT OF THE W-NW. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION TO CROSS THE PIEDMONT LATE TONIGHT AS A CONVECTIVELY INDUCED VORT MAXIMUM LIFTS NEWD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. THIS SYSTEM SUPPORTED CONVECTION OVERNIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF LOUISIANA. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO SOLID CHANCE IN THE WEST THOUGH DID TREND POPS DOWN A BIT IN THE COASTAL PLAIN. BULK SHEAR VALUES 30-35KTS SUGGEST THAT SOME OF THE CONVECTION MAY BE ORGANIZED INTO BROKEN BANDS...SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG GUSTY WINDS THOUGH DAMAGING WIND THREAT APPEARS MINIMAL AT THIS TIME. SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT...A MODERATELY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS COUPLED WITH PERTURBATIONS ALOFT WILL CREATE AN UNSETTLED WEATHER REGIME WITH SCATTERED-NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND T-STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING HOURS. BEST INSTABILITY (MLCAPE NEAR 1000 J/KG) CENTERED OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN AND EASTERN PIEDMONT. BULK SHEAR VALUES 30-35 KTS INT EH AFTERNOON SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN BUT SHEAR DECREASES LATE IN THE DAY AS JET LIFTS TO THE NE. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STRONG DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. PLAN TO HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HWO. EXPECT CONVECTION TO DISSIPATE BY LATE EVENING SATURDAY WITH LOSS OF HEATING. TEMPS SATURDAY AFTERNOON DEPENDENT UPON INSOLATION RECEIVED PRIOR TO CONVECTION DEVELOPMENT. EXPECT TO SEE A FEW HOURS OF PARTIAL SUNSHINE IN THE LATE MORNING-EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PROPEL TEMPS INTO THE LOW-MID 80S WITH A FEW UPPER 80S POSSIBLE SE. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 330 AM FRIDAY... SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT: BRIEF WEAK S/W RIDING WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA ON SUNDAY. HOWEVER... WITH A CONTINUED WARM AND MOIST LOW LEVEL AIRMASS... THINK WE CLOUD STILL SEE AT LEAST SOME ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE AREA WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND WEAK SURFACE TROUGH. THUS... WILL GO WITH A LOW END CHANCE POP FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS (GENERALLY DIURNAL)... WITH A LOW END SVR THREAT... GIVEN DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES OF 20 KTS OR LESS. MORE OF A CONCERN WOULD BE ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL FROM THE HEAVIEST SHOWERS AND STORMS... GIVEN THE EXPECTED HEAVY RAINFALL FROM THE SHOWERS AND STORMS TODAY... AND AGAIN ON SATURDAY (ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EAST). GIVEN THE RATHER MOIST LOW LEVEL AIRMASS AND SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW... EXPECT WE MAY SEE HIGH TEMPS TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90... DESPITE LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES IN THE 1410 TO 1415 METER RANGE. LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY: NEXT SIGNIFICANT S/W ENERGY/CLOSED LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TODAY AND INTO THE CENTRAL/NORTH CENTRAL U.S. BY SUNDAY... THEN EASTWARD AND AFFECT OUR WEATHER BY EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK... WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO AND POSSIBLY ACROSS OUR AREA BY TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE AND LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL LEAD TO A GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. HOWEVER... MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL DIFFER WITH REGARD TO THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THE MID LEVEL S/W/LOW. TAKING A QUICK LOOK AT THE NEW 00Z ECMWF... IT HAS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE 00Z GFS (WHICH HAS SHOWN DECENT CONTINUITY WITH ITS LAST SEVERAL RUNS AND ENSEMBLE MEAN). HOWEVER... THE ECMWF STILL APPEARS TO TRACK THE MID LEVEL LOW FURTHER SOUTH... BUT NOW IS MORE PROGRESSIVE LIKE THE GFS. THIS SHOULD YIELD DECREASING POPS WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE SURFACE COLD FRONT/TROUGH PUSHES TO THE EAST OF THE AREA... WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY MORNING. WITH A MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS THE PLAINS MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK... AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER OUR AREA... WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PLAINS AND TRACKING AROUND THE RIDGE AND ACROSS OUR AREA IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF AREA DEPICTING ONE SUCH DISTURBANCE FOR LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. FOR NOW WILL KEEP POPS AT SLIGHT CHANCE GIVEN THE LOW PREDICTABILITY OF THESE FEATURES THIS FAR OUT IN THE FORECAST. EXPECT HIGH TEMPS SHOULD GENERALLY BE NEAR NORMAL FOR THE MEDIUM RANGE... IN THE 80S... WITH LOW SIMILAR... IN THE 60S... TO NEAR 70. && .AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 150 AM FRIDAY... AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE THIS MORNING AS TROPICAL STORM ANDREA LIFTS NE OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN OF GA AND SC THIS MORNING...AND NC THIS AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAIN WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR THIS MORNING WITH THE BULK OF THE HEAVY RAIN OCCURRING IN THE 10Z-16Z TIME FRAME. CEILINGS WILL CONSISTENTLY REMAIN IN THE LIFR/IFR RANGE THIS MORNING. NEAR SURFACE WINDS THROUGH DAYBREAK WILL BE E-NE AT 10KTS OR LESS. LATER THIS MORNING...AS ANDREA BEGINS TO LIFT NE OVER THE SC COASTAL PLAIN...WINDS IN THE NC COASTAL PLAIN WILL BECOME SLY AND INCREASE TO AROUND 15KTS WITH GUSTS 25KTS WHILE WINDS IN THE WESTERN PIEDMONT WILL BE NNW AT 10KTS. AFTER MID AFTERNOON WITH ANDREA LIFTING NE OVER THE NC COASTAL PLAIN...SFC WINDS WILL REMAIN SLY EAST OF I-95 BUT BECOME WLY IN THE PIEDMONT. WINDS IN THE COASTAL PLAIN SHOULD BECOME WLY BY SUNSET. AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE FROM THE SW EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH CEILINGS LIFTING INTO THE HIGH END MVFR RANGE AND RAIN TAPERING OFF FROM THE SW. EXPECT CLOUD BASES TO BE IN THE VFR RANGE AFTER 3-5 PM MOST LOCATIONS. AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND T-STORMS MAY AFFECT THE TRIAD TERMINALS LATE TONIGHT (BETWEEN MIDNIGHT-3 AM SATURDAY0 AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE LIFTS NE ACROSS THE REGION. OTHERWISE AREAS OF LOW STRATUS AND/OR FOG MAY DEVELOP BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY ACROSS THE REGION. A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND T-STORMS MAY AFFECT CENTRAL NC SATURDAY AS A WEAK MID-UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE REGION. THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CAUSE BRIEF INSTANCES OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS SATURDAY WITH CLOUD BASES IN THE 4000-6000FT RANGE. SLIGHTLY BETTER CONDITIONS EXPECTED SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF MORNING STRATUS/FOG EACH DAY. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
