Solak Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The "quasi-stationary frontal zone over central NC" has drifted South of us this morning, evidenced by the low clouds and fog, wind shift to the NE, and rising pressure since 6:15AM. Will be interesting to see where the boundaries set up today to fuel any potential storms. 652 AM EDT THU MAY 12 2016THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA..DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...A FEW POSSIBLY WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTSAND HAIL AROUND ONE INCH IN DIAMETER...ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON.

Solak Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Strong destabilization is forecast around the southern and western sides of the retreating stratus/front given dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s and ample low- level moisture in general (925mb dewpoints > 15C). While NAM forecast MLCAPE of 3000 J/KG, GFS and RAP values of 2000-2500 J/KG are quite possible across the southern CWA. Like yesterday, convergence near the front and differential heating appear to be the most evident triggers for convection, with some weak perturbations upstream over eastern TN possibly to have some influence later this afternoon. Weak ridging aloft will keep deep layer shear weaker than past days (only 20kt from 0-6km at KGSO this morning), though the front and/or perturbations aloft may locally enhance the shear to 25-30kt, supporting some loosely organized clusters of storms. Locally heavy rainfall may also be more of an issue today within these slower moving clusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Clouds holding strong from the Triad/Triangle area East to the coast. 73 here, 87 at Ft. Bragg 40 miles to the S. Lots of lightning with the storms from Fayetteville down in to South Carolina. http://en.blitzortung.org/live_lightning_maps.php?map=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
