Damaging Winds in North Carolina, June 4, 2014

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
302 PM EDT WED JUN 4 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY AND APPALACHIANS TONIGHT...THEN MOVE OFFSHORE THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST ON THURSDAY. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 215 PM WEDNESDAY...

OVERVIEW: NW FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC AND
CAROLINAS THROUGH TONIGHT. AS OF 17Z...A 1007 MB SURFACE LOW WAS
CENTERED OVER CENTRAL IL/IN...ALONG A FRONTAL ZONE EXTENDING EAST
ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN OH/PA/NJ. A WEAK SFC TROUGH ALONG THE MID-
ATLANTIC COAST EXTENDED SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL CAROLINAS.

REST OF TODAY: 1000-1500 J/KG OF MLCAPE WITH LITTLE OR NO CIN IS
EXPECTED DURING PEAK HEATING GIVEN LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE AND
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON REMAINS
DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF SUBTLE SMALL AMPLITUDE
WAVES IN NW FLOW ALOFT. DPVA ASSOC/W THESE FEATURES CAN PROVIDE
SUFFICIENT FORCING FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP...THOUGH SUBSIDENCE IN
THE WAKE OF SUCH FEATURES CAN SUPPRESS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. IT
COULD BE ARGUED THAT SUCH A DISTURBANCE HELPED TO INITIATE
CONVECTION ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE IN SOUTHWEST VA BETWEEN
14-16Z. THIS AREA OF CONVECTION WAS PROGRESSING SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE
CENTRAL VA/NC BORDER (NEAR DANVILLE) AT 17Z. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS
FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE PRESENCE OF A WEAK SFC TROUGH ALONG THE I-
95 CORRIDOR AND A THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG
CONVECTIVE COLD POOLS /OUTFLOW/. WITH THE ABOVE IN MIND...WILL
INDICATE A 20-30% CHANCE OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON FOR MOST OF
THE AREA...EXCEPT 30-50% IN THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT WHERE CURRENT
ACTIVITY IN SOUTHERN VA WILL LIKELY PROPAGATE ALONG OUTFLOW. HIGHS
WILL REACH THE MID/UPPER 80S NORTH OF HWY 64 TO LOWER 90S SOUTH OF
HWY 64.

TONIGHT: CHANCES FOR CONVECTION MAY INCREASE AGAIN BETWEEN 23-05Z
WHEN AN MCV (OR REMNANTS/PORTIONS THEREOF) ASSOCIATED WITH PRIOR MCS
ACTIVITY WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION IN
STRENGTHENING NW FLOW ALOFT. DESPITE THE LOSS OF INSOLATION...500-
1000 J/KG OF MLCAPE WILL LIKELY BE MAINTAINED WELL INTO THE EVENING
GIVEN STEEPER MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES (6.5-7.0 C/KM) ADVECTING INTO
THE REGION FROM THE WEST AND RICHER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTING
INTO THE AREA ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE GULF COAST RIDGE.
IF SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD CONVECTION DEVELOPS UPSTREAM OVER EASTERN
TN/KY LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING MCV...IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT CONVECTION COULD ORGANIZE INTO A LINE AND SUCCESSFULLY
CROSS THE MOUNTAINS INTO THE WEST/NW PIEDMONT WHERE 500-1000 J/KG OF
MLCAPE...30-40 KT 0-6 KM SHEAR... AND 1000-1300 J/KG OF DCAPE WOULD
FOSTER ROBUST COLD POOLS AND A POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS. CHANCES
FOR CONVECTION SHOULD RAPIDLY DIMINISH FROM WEST-EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT
IN ASSOC/W SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE MCV AND DECREASING
INSTABILITY ASSOC/W NOCTURNAL EFFECTS AND/OR CONVECTIVE OVERTURNING.
EXPECT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY...

OVERVIEW: AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES TODAY
WILL SHIFT TOWARD THE NEW ENGLAND/MID-ATLANTIC COAST ON THU.
SYNOPTIC SUBSIDENCE /RISING SFC PRESSURES/ OVER THE NORTHERN MID-
ATLANTIC WILL PUSH THE WEST-EAST ORIENTED FRONTAL ZONE (CENTERED
ALONG THE MASON-DIXON LINE THIS AFTERNOON) S/SE INTO CENTRAL NC
THURSDAY AFT/EVE. WITH NW FLOW ALOFT FIRMLY ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE
CAROLINAS...EXPECT A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF SMALL AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCES
TRACKING INTO THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE DAY. DPVA ASSOC/W SMALL
AMPLITUDE WAVES MAY ALLOW A WEAK SFC LOW TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
FRONTAL ZONE SINKING SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL NC DURING THE AFT/EVE
HOURS.

PRECIP: FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT A COMBINATION OF RICH
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE...RELATIVELY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...
AND SEASONABLE INSOLATION SHOULD YIELD MODERATE INSTABILITY (1000-
2000 J/KG OF MLCAPE) BY PEAK HEATING...WEAKEST IN THE NW PIEDMONT/VA
BORDER AND STRONGEST ALONG AND SOUTH OF HWY 64. LOW-LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SOUTHWARD SAGGING FRONTAL ZONE AND PERIODIC
DPVA ASSOC/W SMALL AMPLITUDE WAVES IN NW FLOW ALOFT SHOULD PROVIDE
SUFFICIENT FORCING FOR SCT/WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TO DEVELOP DURING
THE AFT/EVE HOURS...AND WILL INDICATE PRECIP CHANCES RANGING FROM 40-
60%...LOWEST NEAR THE VA BORDER AND HIGHEST SOUTH OF HWY 64. EXPECT
CHANCES FOR CONVECTION TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM N-S OR NW-SE THU
EVENING/NIGHT AS AN INCREASINGLY STABLE AIRMASS ADVECTS INTO CENTRAL
NC IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT PROGRESSING TOWARD THE NC/SC BORDER.

TEMPS: EXPECT HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID 80S NORTH (VA BORDER) TO
LOWER 90S SOUTH (SC BORDER)...THOUGH A FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IS
PRESENT DEPENDING ON THE PRECISE PROGRESS OF THE FRONT PROGRESSING
SOUTHWARD INTO THE REGION ALONG WITH CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW. LOWS THU
NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 64-68F...COOLEST NEAR THE VA BORDER
WHERE LOWS COULD POSSIBLY FALL A FEW DEGREES LOWER DEPENDING ON
CLOUD COVER AND DEWPOINTS.

SEVERE POTENTIAL: GIVEN RELATIVELY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...
MODERATE INSTABILITY...AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 25-35
KT...PERHAPS AS MUCH AS 30-40 KT TO THE NORTH/NE...EXPECT A
POTENTIAL FOR ISOLD SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WINDS AND DIME TO QUARTER SIZE HAIL. -VINCENT

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 222 PM WEDNESDAY

SLIGHTLY COOLER HIGH PRESSURE EDGES INTO THE AREA ON FRIDAY AS THE
FRONT PUSHING SOUTH OF THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT SLOWS TO A CRAWL
ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA. SHORT WAVE TROF MIGRATING ACROSS THE AREA AT
H5 WILL BE ONLY WEAKLY SUPPORTIVE OF CONVECTION AND MAINLY ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN TIERS OF COUNTIES WITHIN RANGE OF THE SURFACE FRONTAL
ZONE WHERE DEW POINTS WILL HOLD IN THE LOWER 60S. WILL THUS KEEP A
SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE SOUTH DURING MAX HEATING FRIDAY WITH HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE LOW 80S ACROSS THE FAR NORTH TO MID 80S .
AS CONVECTION WILL BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN...WILL HAVE NO POP FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH MINS FROM 60 TO 65. HIGH PRESSURE MIGRATES FURTHER EAST
AND OFFSHORE BY LATE SATURDAY...WHICH PRODUCES A DRY EASTERLY LOW
LEVEL FLOW WITH LOW AMPLITUDE MID LEVEL RIDGING...WHICH WILL FURTHER
SUPPRESS THE FRONT SOUTH ON SATURDAY. WILL HAVE ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES
ACROSS THE SOUTH AND WEST AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE DRY AIR DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 80S WITH
SATURDAY NIGHTS LOWS MAINLY IN THE MID 60S.

WAVY NEAR-ZONAL MID LEVEL FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED ON SUNDAY AND THE
SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE SETTING UP LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW. THIS
WILL BEGIN TO WARM UP AND MOISTEN THE LOW LEVELS BUT WITH NO
FOCUSING MECHANISM EXPECT ONLY ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
CONVECTION. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S WITH MINS
SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

FRONTAL ZONE WHICH SETS UP ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WILL MAKE SLOW
PROGRESS SOUTH AS THE INITIAL SHORT WAVE LIFTS INTO NEW ENGLAND ON
MONDAY. CLOSER TO HOME...A WESTERLY-FLOW-INDUCED LEE TROF WILL
DEVELOP AT THE SURFACE...WHICH...ALONG WITH CONTINUED WARMING AND
MOISTENING...WILL PRODUCE INCREASED CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ON MONDAY
AND AGAIN TUESDAY AS THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT PUSHES INTO THE AREA.
AT THIS POINT...DETAILS AS TO ORGANIZATION AND TIMING ARE FUZZY AND
WILL KEEP POPS IN THE CHANCE RANGE WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO
LOWER 90S. WEDNESDAY IS LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS POINT...BUT WITH
MOIST AIRMASS AND HIGHS REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 80S...SCATTERED
CONVECTION WILL BE A GOOD STARTING POINT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM WEDNESDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD: VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE TAF PERIOD. THE ONLY POTENTIAL
FOR SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE IN ASSOC/W ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFT/EVE INTO
TONIGHT...THOUGH CONFIDENCE REMAINS BELOW NORMAL WITH REGARD TO
COVERAGE/TIMING AND WILL ONLY MENTION VCSH AT ALL TERMINALS. STRONG
WIND GUSTS OF 30-40 KT WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MIDNIGHT. LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS THROUGH SUNRISE
THU WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST AT 10-15 KT WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 20-25 KT
BY 15-18Z THU (END OF THE 18Z TAF PERIOD).

LOOKING AHEAD: ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ASSOC/W
A FRONT SINKING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION ON THU. OTHERWISE...
EXPECT A CLIMATOLOGICAL FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH VFR
CONDITIONS PREVAILING OUTSIDE OF A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. -VINCENT
