Fxus62 krah 170628 afdrah area forecast discussion national weather service raleigh nc 228 am edt Wed jul 17 2019 Synopsis A weak mid and upper level trough, which includes the weak surface remnants of barry as a low pressure, will drift NE across the central appalachians and northern mid-atlantic states today through Thursday. A weak surface trough will be associated with these features across central nc into Thursday. Finally, very strong ridging aloft will develop over the central appalachians and mid- atlantic states Friday through the weekend. Near term today and tonight As of 228 am Wednesday... Heat advisory in effect for much of the eastern piedmont, sandhills, and coastal plain today... Scattered strong thunderstorms in the piedmont late this afternoon into the evening... another hot day today with highs again well into the 90s, generally lower 90s NW to upper 90s in the sandhills. The dew points will be elevated, mainly in the lower to mid 70s. This will generate heat indices well into the heat advisory territory, generally 105-109 this afternoon. Even the NW piedmont will have heat indices near 100. We will maintain the heat advisory already issued through 600 pm, mainly along and east of laurinburg to raleigh to warrenton. Mid and upper level ridging will weaken a bit today as the remnant mid upper trough (barry) pulls out to the NE through the ohio valley to the northern mid-atlantic states. This is where the higher pop will be today. For our region, a weak surface trough is expected to be located over the appalachians early afternoon, then drift slowly east into the western and northern piedmont late this afternoon and evening. This will be associated with the more subtle troughing aloft that affects our piedmont zones later this afternoon and evening. Models hint at a weak low pressure development this evening over the piedmont. We will carry 30-50 pop in the western and northern piedmont with this feature, mainly 300 to 700 pm, shifting into the northern and central piedmont around sunset through the evening. Strong heating should lead to high capes. Wind shear will be weak, but the subtle height falls, high instability, steep low level lapse rates, and moisture convergence in the NW and N zones later this afternoon may lead to some strong to isolated severe thunderstorms, with a wet microburst the main hazard. Since the convection is expected to remain scattered, QPF basin averages will likely remain 0.25 or less. Of course, some 1 inch totals will be localized, with other areas receiving none. Cams and conventional models suggest a chance of thunderstorms first along the SE coastal plain early afternoon. This activity then remains in that region until dissipating later in the afternoon or early evening. We will carry 30 pop along the i-95 corridor to cover this potential. Elsewhere, generally widely scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon (20 pop). The potentially organized convection may linger into the evening over the piedmont and NE zones, but will weaken and diminish by late evening. Lows in the 70s expected tonight. Short term Thursday and Thursday night As of 220 am Wednesday... ridging will quickly follow as the trough moves off the NE coast later Thursday. Until that time, some lingering moisture will keep a slight chance to chance of pm thunderstorms (20-30) pop. Less in the way of convection is expected than this afternoon and tonight. Highs generally in the 90s with dew points in the lower to mid 70s. Heat

advisories may again be needed in the eastern region Thursday. After 20-30 pop for a lingering shower or thunderstorm Thursday evening, expect warm and humid conditions Thursday night with lows in the 70s. Long term Friday through Tuesday As of 345 pm Tuesday... hot weather is expected Friday and over the weekend as an upper level ridge builds over the southeast with increasing heights and subsidence. Weak but increasing westerly flow will promote increased mixing and the development of a weak surface trough across the piedmont. This will support isolated to scattered mainly afternoon and evening thunderstorms. The big story will be the heat with high temperatures likely ranging in the 94 to 100 range with the hottest temperatures extending from the northern piedmont into the sandhills. Muggy lows will range in the lower and especially mid 70s. Heat index values will peak between 105 and 110 with slightly lower heat index values in the triad. An unseasonably strong short wave trough supported by mid level flow approaching 50kts will move across the great lakes Monday and then drop into the mid atlantic on Tuesday. A surface cold front associated with the upper trough will approach the area from the northwest late Monday and then settle across the area on Tuesday. Global guidance is bullish on pushing the front through central nc and into the coastal region of sc by late Tuesday. Experience suggests that this may be aggressive given the time of year but there is a good push with the front. Didn't fully bank on the front clearing the area by Tuesday and have kept temperatures up a bit and held onto clouds and pops associated with the frontal zone. -blaes Aviation 06z Wednesday through Sunday As of 226 am Wednesday... whileVFR parameters will occur at the TAF sites across central nc through 00z Thursday, there may be brief instance of early morning or low clouds between 10z and 13z Wednesday, mainly in vicinity of the eastern terminals. Later this afternoon, scattered thunderstorms are expected, mainly triad terminals between 20z and 00z this evening, and in the vicinity or krdu and krwi between 00z and 03z tonight. This weather pattern will change little through the rest of the work week and into the weekend.VFR parameters will dominate most of the time, though there will be a marginal threat for early morning stratus or fog that will burn-off dissipate by 14z, then a slight chance of a pm thunderstorm at any site 18z and 02z each day. Climate Record high temperatures and years for the next few days.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
