Fxus62 krah 171744 afdrah area forecast discussion national weather service raleigh nc 145 pm edt Thu oct 17 2019 Synopsis Canadian high pressure will build into the region through Friday night, then begin to slide offshore Saturday. The remnants of the developing tropical low over the gulf of mexico will move NE through the SE us on Saturday and then up along the carolina coast Saturday night and Sunday before moving out to sea Sunday night. Near term through tonight As of 1000 am Thursday... Patchy frost expected tonight... packed pressure gradient between the occluded low lifting through the NE us and canadian high pressure building into the area from the west will gradually relax during the mid to late afternoon. Thus, expect frequent gusts into 18 to 23 kt range area-wide. The orographic cirrus band that has set up across central va will graze the far northern va bordering counties through the late morning early afternoon hours and should little to no impact today's highs. Otherwise, it will be sunny today. The 1000-850mb thickness of 1331 m and h8 temp of 0c observed at gso upper air this morning, which is the lowest of the young season, is forecast to rebound to 1350m this afternoon, which is ~25 meters below the 30 yr average. However, wnwly down-slope warming flow east of the mtns could slightly offset the below normal thicknesses. Highs today ranging from lower 60s across the north to upper 60s south. Relaxing pressure gradient this evening will allow the gustiness to subside this evening with the potential for winds to decouple late tonight daybreak. All in all, we should have pretty good radiation cooling conditions tonight; and with the thermal trough axis and dry airmass centered over the region, temps overnight will have the potential to cool to their MAX potential, especially outside of urban areas. This will support the first patchy frost of the season in the normal cold areas. Expect lows mainly in the upper 30s to lower 40s, with some mid 30s in the outlying rural areas. Short term Friday through Friday night As of 345 am Thursday... Patchy frost expected Friday night... during the day Friday surface high pressure will center overhead with winds mostly light and calm. 850 mb temperatures Friday will actually remain rather similar to today, at or around 5 degrees c, with a similar story in 1000 850 mb thicknesses. Due to this have kept high temperatures for Friday very similar to today, with mostly mid 60s expected. Friday night into Saturday morning surface high pressure will slowly slide east with a potent upper level disturbance approaching from the southwest. The result from the approaching low will be a more robust cirrus shield Saturday morning than initially expected. This will make for an extremely tricky low temperature forecast. Thanks to winds decoupling temps will likely quickly fall across the CWA before halting across the southwest as cirrus moves in. For the most part am expecting low 40s across the area Saturday morning with some mid upper 30s possible across the central northern zones in the outlying rural areas. Long term Saturday through Wednesday As of 440 am Thursday... sat through sun: confidence in the weekend forecast is lower than usual, although there are signs that the operational models are

converging on a nearly-common solution. The mid level low over W tx early this morning will track eastward along the gulf coast over the next couple of days, picking up the trough and moisture now over the w gulf while moving into ga through early Sat morning. This feature will be propelled by a deep longwave trough now situated along the west coast that will move through the W and central conus. The surface high will shift offshore starting sat, while the surface low (potentially tropical or subtropical at this point) attending the mid level shortwave trough tracks NE over the fl panhandle and over the southeast states or coastline through sun. The timing of this low and trough and its precip continues to vary among the large scale models, with the GFS still the fastest and the NAM ecmwf slower, although the ECMWF has trended faster in recent runs and is now not too far behind the gfs. At a pace close to the ecmwf, which offers a reasonable compromise, we'll bring pops into SW sections of central nc mid-late Sat afternoon, followed by a solid area of rain (with possible embedded thunderstorms over the se) overspreading the area Sat evening and night, before tapering off SW to NE Sun as the southeast and midwest troughs merge and lift to our ne. Again, uncertainty is high regarding the specific timing, however it appears likely that we'll see a period of widespread moderate to heavy rainfall ahead of the surface low passage, given its tropical origins, deep lift, and the atlantic contribution to moisture over nc. The best chance for rain looks to be from late Sat afternoon through daybreak sun, and if the system maintains the speed indicated by the latest model runs, late Sun through Sun night may actually be dry with very few clouds, as rearward subsidence takes over. For now will keep high temps just under normal both Sat and sun, although a faster (slower) system will mean even cooler highs for Sat (sun). Highs in the mid 60s to around 70. Lows around 50 to the mid 50s Sat night and in the 50s Sun night. Mon through wed: mid level shortwave ridging should bring fair weather mon, although this will be short-lived as our next large deep longwave trough digs over the central CONUS Mon before swinging through eastern noam through mid week. The GFS gfe ens mean have the corresponding cold front passage taking place tue, while the ECMWF is slower by about 12 hours, taking the front through tue night. Will split the difference and depict FROPA late tue, with preceding rain and a few storms spreading in from the W starting mon night and peaking Tue before clearing out W to E Tue night. Expect temps to be above normal Mon Tue in the prefrontal warm sector, slipping to just below normal post-front Wed under fair skies. -gih Aviation 18z Thursday through Tuesday As of 145 pm Thursday... 24 hour TAF period: breezy w-nwly winds of 15 to 20 kts will gradually subside during the late afternoon, with winds decoupling this evening and becoming light and from the NW overnight and into the day on Friday. Aside from some orographic enhanced cirrus streaming across the northern taf sites, clearVFR conditions are expected through the issuance. Looking ahead:VFR conditions will continue through Saturday afternoon. The remnants of the developing tropical low over the gulf of mexico will track NE through the SE us on Saturday and then up along the carolina coast Saturday night and Sunday. This system will bring widespread sub-VFR conditions in rain area-wide and breezy conditions to the eastern TAF sites late Saturday through midday Sunday. Additionally, a period of llws is possible Saturday night as the system tracks along our coast.VFR conditions will return Sunday afternoon and evening with a cold front passage bringing another chance of sub-vfr conditions Monday night and early Tuesday.
