AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Raleigh NC 650 PM EST Mon Jan 27 2020

SYNOPSIS. An upper level disturbance and weak cold front will push east of the region by midnight. High pressure will build in from the northwest and north tonight through Thursday, although another upper level disturbance will cross the Southeast states late Wednesday and Wednesday night.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. As of 650 PM Monday .

The area of rain showers associated with the upper level disturbance will be pushing east of I-95 by mid-evening. Skies were already clearing in the NW Piedmont, behind the upper level feature. The associated cold front will push through overnight; however, the surface winds will remain light even through they will become northerly. As skies clear, lows will dip into the lower 30s north and west, ranging into the upper 30s SE.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/. As of 205 PM Monday .

Quiet and seasonable. Surface high pressure centered well to our NW will build weakly into central NC, and the mid level NVA and incoming shortwave ridging behind the departing wave should yield fair skies and dry weather. Thicknesses are expected to dip a bit below normal but should be balanced by abundant sunshine, favoring highs near or just a bit below normal, 50-55. Expect mostly clear skies through the evening, but the approach of the amplifying trough now moving out of the Rockies into the Front Range should bring increasing high and perhaps mid clouds overnight, mainly impacting W sections. Lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s. -GIH

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. As of 225 PM Monday .

In progressive mid-upper level flow, a phased trough extending from srn BC swwd across the Baja, one which includes a couple of pronounced shortwave troughs over the Four Corners and nrn Rockies this afternoon, will migrate ewd into the MS Valley by the start of the period/12Z Wed. These features are forecast to become increasingly-sheared offshore the Southeast and srn middle Atlantic coast, as they encounter confluent flow across the nrn middle Atlantic and Northeast, through Thu. While the nrn stream-dominated trough over the nrn Rockies is forecast to slightly lag the srn stream-dominated one over the Four Corners, there are important model differences regarding their future orientation/tilt and degree to which they may remain phased --and consequently how strong and focused the associated forcing for ascent may be-- as they cross the Carolinas centered around Wed night. Shortwave ridging will follow through Thu night or Fri. Deep swly flow aloft will then develop from the ern Pac and n-cntl Mexico to the Carolinas, downstream of a another trough that will approach from the cntl US and cross NC (probably) Fri-Sat. Nwly flow and height rises aloft will ensue through the start of next week.

At the surface, low pressure, and a primary precipitation shield related to the srn stream-dominated trough noted above, will track across the Gulf coast, FL peninsula, and out to sea Wed-Wed night. This system will have little potential to gain latitude/move up the East Coast owing to the aforementioned confluent flow anchored across the nrn middle Atlantic and Northeast. Another area of low pressure is forecast to accompany the late week-weekend trough aloft and develop across the Gulf of Mexico newd along and offshore the Southeast and srn middle Atlantic coast, while high pressure otherwise extends from the middle Atlantic swwd into the Carolinas through Sat. A dry cold front will cross the region late Sat-Sat night, followed by weak high pressure over the Southeast and Appalachian-lee troughing through Mon.

Weather Highlights/Hazards: Considerable mid-high clouds Wed will thicken and lower Wed night-early Thu, with the approach of the nrn stream shortwave trough now over the nrn Rockies. Virga will also become widespread over cntl NC through the same time; and some of that precipitation will likely overcome an otherwise dry sub-cloud layer and reach the ground over mainly srn NC by Thu morning. Thermal profiles and partial thickness values support primarily (light) rain, particularly where precipitation is most likely to reach the ground across srn NC. However, freezing levels across the remainder of the Piedmont are forecast to be around 1000 ft AGL, so it would be possible for a few flurries to mix with the light rain or sprinkles should they fall with enough intensity and reach ground and consequently, diabatically cool the shallow above freezing layer above the surface there. This would be a no accumulation/impact non- event should that even occur.

The weekend trough aloft and Southeast coastal low will provide another chance of rain late Fri-Sat. It will otherwise be dry, and generally around average with respect to both high and low temperatures, with no extremes expected through the forecast period.

AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. As of 645 AM Tuesday .

Brief MVFR conditions with light showers will exit the KRDU/KFAY/KRWI TAF sites by around 03z to 04z/tonight. Skies will clear as the cold front and upper level disturbance moves through. Expect a return to VFR conditions by 06z/tonight. VFR conditions are then expected on Tuesday.

Looking beyond 00z/Tue, VFR conditions should hold through much of Wed, although mid and high clouds will start to spread in from the W Tue night as the next upper level wave approaches. A few sprinkles or light showers are expected with passage of this system late Wed afternoon through Wed night, mostly across southern NC terminals, and there is a small chance of MVFR cigs with this, but generally any cigs will stay just into VFR territory. High pressure will build back in for Thu into Fri, bringing a return to VFR conditions, but the approach of another storm system from the SW Fri may bring sub- VFR conditions with rain chances for Fri evening through Sat. -GIH

NOTE: East coast views moved to GEOS-16. They are experimental and not well supported by NOAA so they may not be correct so be warned. This change required redoing a large amount of the GOES code. If the image you are expecting is not showing, please let me know. You may need to use the EDIT function to update your location.
