AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Raleigh NC 830 PM EDT Sun Apr 05 2020

SYNOPSIS. A weak surface trough will remain over central NC through Tuesday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. As of 830 PM Sunday .

Isolated light showers over Stokes and Surry Counties of the Foothills have tried to make it into the Winston-Salem area as of 830 PM. Only sprinkles have been observed over northern Forsyth County. Elsewhere, it was clear to mostly clear. Temperatures were in the upper 60s to mid 70s, with dew points in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

Expect the Foothill and Mountain showers to continue to dissipate as they move into the NW Piedmont through late evening.

Otherwise, it will be milder than previous nights, with light SW winds at 5-10 mph. Lows in the lower to mid 50s in general.

SHORT TERM /MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT/. As of 415 PM Sunday .

Wnwly, low amplitude anticyclonic flow aloft, with generally neutral height tendency aloft, will persist over cntl NC this period.

At the surface, high pressure offshore the Southeast coast will extend wwd across the sern US and Gulf coast, while a cold front initially over cntl and swrn VA will settle swwd, in backdoor- fashion, across nern NC Mon afternoon; and that will include through the nrn Coastal Plain and far ne Piedmont. The front will then likely stall, probably modulated by convective outflow, from the srn NC Outer Banks nwwd across the NC Piedmont or nrn Coastal Plain through Tue morning.

To the south of the front, temperatures are forecast to warm into the 70s to lwr 80s through early-mid afternoon Mon, after which time scattered (or widely so) showers and storms are forecast to develop both in the higher terrain and within the trough/frontal segment over swrn VA/nwrn NC. That convection will subsequently move sewd across cntl NC Mon afternoon and early evening. A relatively deep, 5- 7 thousand ft boundary layer, with associated steep./dry adiabatic low level lapse rates will favor the occurrence of strong wind gusts up to 35-40 kts, particularly within any loosely-organized multicell clusters that may organize and orient downshear of ~30 kts of wnwly, mean mid level flow. The presence of the surface front and enhanced low/mid-level environmental shear over nern NC may also favor a transient supercell - supported by a signal in convection allowing guidance updraft helicity (UH) tracks for the past couple of days.

Late afternoon cooling will occur both behind the backdoor front and multi-cell outflow, with just a lingering chance of a shower or storm from the srn Coastal Plain to the srn Piedmont through the evening hours, aided there by a secondary maximum in instability after peak diurnal heating, owing to nocturnal surface dewpoint recovery into the upr 50s F. Convection and clouds will otherwise generally clear from wnw to ese overnight, with patchy fog development and low temperatures in the 50s.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. As of 248 PM Sunday .

The long term period will start off with a broad anticyclonic flow over much of the US, with central NC on the east side. Embedded short wave disturbances moving over the top of and down the east side of the ridge will cross our area Tuesday and Wednesday, each bringing a slight chance for rain, but overall PoPs and QPF have been trending down from previous model runs, so we may end up dry during much of Tuesday and Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a more potent and deeper short wave trough moving SE across the Northern Plains on Wednesday will shift east across the Great Lakes region and New England and Mid-Atlantic regions on Thursday. So while we may see a brief break in rain chances late Wednesday in the wake of one short wave, slight chance PoPs may be needed again for Thursday with the passage of the deeper short wave. Recent runs of the GFS have trended slower and less amplified with the eastward movement of a closed low out of the Four Corners region late in the week (solution trending toward the ECWMF), but then solutions diverge again with what eventually happens with the aforementioned closed low. The GFS is weaker and more progressive (thus results in dry weather for us next weekend) . while the ECMWF now keeps the closed low fairly deep as it approaches the Southeast, thus results in increasing rain chances for the latter half of the weekend. As such, will now keep Friday and most of Saturday dry, with lower confidence for the Saturday night and Sunday time period.

Above normal temps expected during the middle part of the week, but then a cooling trend will commence Thursday night in the wake of the short wave trough and sfc cold front.

AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. As of 745 PM Sunday .

Primarily VFR conditions are expected for the next 24 hours.

Patches of MVFR fog will will be possible over SE NC, including at KFAY, between 09-12Z Mon.

Outlook: A few showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop and move SE across central NC NC between 18Z Mon-23Z Mon. Brief sub-VFR conditions and strong wind gusts up to 35-40 kts may result. There will be a chance of stratus and fog Mon night-early Tue, particularly where rain occurs beforehand, and also on the immediate cool side of a surface front that will have settled into and stalled over e-cntl NC, including at RWI. The pattern for the remainder of the week will feature primarily VFR and dry conditions, owing to generally wly (downslope) flow that will tend to dissipate upstream convection as it crosses the Appalachians.

RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.
