AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Raleigh NC 400 PM EDT Thu Jul 2 2020

SYNOPSIS. A surface trough and weak front will drift south into the Savannah Basin through early Fri, while weak high pressure over the upr MS Valley otherwise ridges southeast across the central Appalachians and middle Atlantic. An Appalachian-lee trough will redevelop over VA and the Carolinas Fri, then persist ahead of a backdoor front that will settle south across VA and nern NC Sat night.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. As of 345 PM Thursday .

Modest, 20-30 meter 500 mb height rises will prevail across cntl NC through tonight, amidst nly mid-upr level flow behind a positive tilt trough now moving away from the middle Atlantic coast.

At the surface, a trough/weak front over SC this afternoon will settle south into the Savannah Basin, with following light to calm flow over cntl NC.

Aside from a lingering slight chance of a shower or storm near the SC line, dry conditions are expected across cntl NC. Diurnal cumulus will otherwise dissipate with loss of heating and result in a mainly clear night, with associated excellent radiational cooling and low temperatures mainly in the mid-upr 60s expected.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT/. As of 355 PM Thursday .

Nly flow and weak height rises aloft will generally persist through Fri night; and this will contribute to continued mid level warming and development of a subsidence inversion over cntl NC. That warming combined with a drier boundary layer/lower RH versus previous days will yield only minimal CAPE and no mentionable chance of convection. Slight, 1-2C warming of 850 mb temperatures favors high temperatures about a category higher than those of Thu. While hot, the lower humidity values will result in Heat Index values very similar to the dry bulb temperatures. The warmer air mass will also favor slightly milder lows, generally around 70 degrees.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. As of 250 PM Thursday .

The extended forecast is a little bit more muddled than it was 24 hours ago. Originally Thursday and Friday appeared to be the driest days in the forecast, but Saturday appears that it may also be a relatively dry day as well. While Thursday and Friday will have warmer temperatures between 600-700 mb helping to serve as a cap for thunderstorms, on Saturday the warmer temperatures will sink a little to the 700-800 mb layer. That should still provide a sufficient cap for most thunderstorms, although the entire forecast area still remains under a slight chance for a thunderstorm. That layer will cool on Sunday, providing less of a cap for thunderstorms and allowing for additional scattered coverage of thunderstorms.

24 hours ago, the forecast showed a weak surface low moving up the Southeast coast. The newest 12Z models still show a surface low moving to the northeast, but the models now develop this low a bit farther inland and slightly later before bringing it northeast. This shouldn't have too much influence on sensible weather for central North Carolina - with a diurnal trend of showers and thunderstorms continuing and higher pops closer to the coastline.

Although previously Saturday appeared as it is was going to be the warmest day of the holiday weekend, it now appears that Friday might actually be a degree or two warmer. Have still kept highs in the mid 90s for most locations on Saturday, with highs dropping closer to the 90 degree mark. Lows will be in the lower 70s. Heat indices shouldn't quite reach the 100 degree mark, but the heat and humidity remain in the HWO as this will be the first true heat wave of the season.

AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. As of 220 PM Thursday .

Showers and storms through this evening will continue to focus on a surface trough/weak front extending across SC, with more-isolated and weaker cells possible along a remnant outflow boundary arcing from near KFLO to KRCZ to KMWK. Otherwise, VFR, generally scattered diurnal cumulus clouds will dissipate with loss of heating after sunset, then redevelop with heating by late morning Fri. Surface winds will remain light and generally less than 10 kts each afternoon, nly-nely today and nly-nwly Fri, with intervening calm tonight.

Outlook: A weak backdoor cold front will settle south across VA and into at least the nern half of NC Sat night-Sun morning. Nely flow behind that front will favor fog and stratus development around RWI and particularly points newd at that time. Otherwise, after a relative lull in precipitation through Fri night, a climatological chance of showers and storms will return this weekend through early- mid next week.

RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.
