  11. Interesting observation… • .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... -- Changed Discussion -- • AS OF 1130 AM THURSDAY... PERSISTENT BLOCKING PATTERN CONTINUES TO SLOWLY BREAK DOWN WITH THE DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINNING TO SHIFT EAST ACROSS PA. ENHANCED MID AND HIGH CLOUDINESS ALONG WITH A FEW SPRINKLES MOVED ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS AM AND IS REACHING THE COAST AT THIS HOUR. A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS IS EVIDENT ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND W PIEDMONT. THIS BREAK WILL SHIFT EAST THROUGH MID AFTERNOON WITH SOME SCTCUMULUS REDEVELOPMENT LIKELY. ONE MORE DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS VA AND NORTHERN NC THIS AFTN AND EVENING AND MAY PRODUCE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR SPRINKLE. VARIOUS HIGH RES WRF SIMULATIONS SUGGEST THAT SCT SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTN AND EARLY THIS EVENING. WRF RUNS OVER HYPED THE CONVECTIONPROGGED FOR WEDNESDAY AFTN AND EVE AND FEEL THEY MAY BE TOO EXCITED TODAY AS INSTABILITY IS RATHER LIMITED AND FORCING IS MODEST.SFCDEW POINTS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE LOW/MID 50S WHICH SHOULD LIMIT/PERHAPS PRECLUDE CONVECTION. FORECAST BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE SOME CAPPING ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON WHICH SHOULD KEEP ANY CONVECTION SHALLOW...LESS CAPPING IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE EASTERN LOCATIONS WHICH COULD SUPPORT BETTER ALBEIT ISOLATED COVERAGE. HAVE TRIMMED POPS BACK TO SLIGHT CHANCE/ISOLATED RANGE EVERYWHERE AND REDUCED TEMPORAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS. GIVEN LESS CLOUDINESS AND PRECIP AND WITH A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION PATTERN...HAVE ADJUSTED MAX TEMPS UPWARD A DEGREE OR SO INTO THE 75-82 DEGREE RANGE. -BLAES
