Tornado Warning 7, NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1052 AM EDT TUE SEP 7 2004

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)...

NOT A LOT NEEDS CHANGING IN THE GRIDS ATTM WITH HIGH POPS...HEAVY
RAIN AND HIGHER ELEVATION WINDS ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR. CURRENTLY
THE KCAE RADAR HAS 5 TIGHT SRM COUPLETS THAT MIGHT BE PRODUCING
TORNADOES ORIENTED NW TO SE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE THEIR
CWA IN ASSOCIATION WITH FRANCES RAINBANDS. LLVL MESOS ARE BEING
AUGMENTED BY INTERACTION WITH A SFC BNDRY WHICH SHOWS UP FAIRLY
WELL AS AN AREA OF STREAMLINE CONVERGENCE IN MSAS. THIS BNDRY IS
SLOWLY PUSHING NORTHWEST AND TORNADO THREAT WILL GREATLY INCREASE
OVER THE ERN UPSTATE AND SRN NC PIEDMONT IN VERY SHORT ORDER. LOCAL
VWP PROGRAM HAS NEARLY 300 0-3KM SREH AND 0-1KM SREH OF 175.

IFLOWS SHOWS THAT RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALONG THE ERN ESCARPMENT ALREADY
AVERAGE 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. DON/T SEE ANY
REASON TO DOUBT OUR EARLIER RAINFALL ESTIMATES...ESPECIALLY SINCE
THE CENTER OF FRANCES IS MOVING ONLY VERY SLOWLY NORTH ACROSS
SOUTHWEST GA. WITH CLOUD TOPS COOLING NORTH AND EAST OF THE CENTER
ATTM...I/M AFRAID THAT HEAVY RAIN WILL BE WITH US FOR A LONG TIME.

A FEW REPORTS OF SCATTERED TREES AND POWER LINES DOWN IN THE MTNS
RESULTING FROM THE COMBINATION OF WIND AND RAIN. DO NOT PLAN TO
UPGRADE TO HIGH WIND WARNING YET...BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE
MTN WIND SITUATION.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 313 AM EDT TUE SEP 7 2004

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...
RADAR TRENDS HAVE SHOWN AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION ALONG THE
ESCARPMENT AND OTHER UPSLOPE-FAVORED AREAS OF THE NORTH CAROLINA
HIGHER TERRAIN CONVECTION GETTING AN ASSIST FROM LIFT ON THE 30 TO
40 KNOTS OF SOUTHEAST FLOW CURRENTLY SHOWN ON THE KGSP 88-D VELOCITY
AZIMUTH DISPLAY PROFILE. MEANWHILE...LEAD BANDING ON THE OUTER
CIRCULATION CENTER OF WHAT IS LEFT OF FRANCES ADVANCING STEADILY
NORTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA. WE EXPECT
RAINFALL AMOUNTS TO INCREASE DRAMATICALLY IN THE PREDAWN HOURS.

THE LATEST GFS REMAINS IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LAST NHC
TRACK OF FRANCES REMNANT LOW...WHILE THE ETA IS ONCE AGAIN SUSPECT
IN LEAVING BEHIND LOW CENTER OVER AL/GA FOR TOO LONG. FOR THIS
REASON...THIS FORECAST LEANS HEAVILY TOWARD THE GFS SOLUTION. THAT
SAID...MOST OF THE HEAVY LIFTING HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. CATEGORICAL
POP INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...QPF BASED ON HPC GUIDANCE...AND WIND
FIELD BASED ON GFS. FLOOD WATCH IS A NO BRAINER. ALL THAT REMAINS
TO BE SEEN IS THE SEVERE POTENTIAL.

WITH THE REMNANT LOW TRACKING CLOSER...EXPECT SHEAR TO INCREASE
DURING THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON PER GFS DEPICTION OF
0-3KM HELICITY. ANY DEEPER CONVECTION WILL HAVE TORNADO POTENTIAL...
ESPECIALLY OVER UPSTATE SC AND NORTHEAST GA WHERE SOME WEAK
INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED. IF ANY CLEARING WORKS IN FROM GA AND
CONVECTIVE BANDS FORM BEHIND THE MAIN RAIN SHIELD...WATCH OUT. WILL
ISSUE SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK TO ADDRESS THIS.

WIND SHOULD INCREASE ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS THIS MORNING AND
REMAIN THROUGH TONIGHT. EVENING RAOB FROM FFC WAS TROUBLESOME WITH
50KT WINDS NOTED AT 3-5K FEET...BUT KGSP RADAR SHOWS ONLY 35-40KTS.
CENTER OF REMNANT LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTH AND WILL ALSO WIND
DOWN...SO THINK WIND GUST POTENTIAL OUTSIDE CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS
WILL REMAIN BELOW WARNING CRITERIA. WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY TO
HANDLE THIS...THROUGH TONIGHT...AFTER WHICH TIME SIGNIFICANT WIND
POTENTIAL SHOULD LIFT NORTH.

PRECIP FINALLY LIFTS OUT LATE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SOME
MINOR CHANGES WILL BE MADE TO PRECIP FORECAST THURSDAY AS LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AXIS REMAINING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FAVORS HOLDING
ON TO CHANCE POP THROUGH THE DAY. ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO TEMPS.

LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
VERY FEW CHANGES MADE IN THE WAKE OF FRANCES REMNANTS...MAINLY
TWEAKS TO BETTER ALIGN WITH NEIGHBORS. LATEST GFS LEAVES BEHIND
SURFACE TROF NEAR THE COAST THROUGH SATURDAY WITH WESTERN EDGE OF
PRECIP JUST BEYOND FORECAST AREA. SLIGHT CHANCES IN GRIDS FOR
LATE WEEK MIGHT BE A BIT OVERDONE BUT WILL LEAVE THEM ALONE FOR NOW.

AVIATION...
THE RAIN SHIELD ASSOCIATED WITH THE CIRCULATION REMAINING FROM
FRANCES WILL SPREAD OVER THE TERMINALS TODAY. FWC AND MAV SHOW THAT
THE IFR STRATUS WILL LINGER THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY...NOT QUITE
THE CASE OBSERVED OVER GA AND EASTERN SC ATTM. HOWEVER...IMPRESSIVE
UPSLOPE FLOW WILL HELP KEEP CEILINGS LOW...WILL ACCEPT THE BROAD
SOLUTION OF THE MOS. GFS SHOWS THAT LLVL FLOW...AS HIGH AS 50KTS AT
H85...WILL REMAIN OVER THE FA FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. WITH SFC WINDS
SPEEDS REMAINING IN THE TEENS...LLWS WILL LIKELY PERSIST UNTIL LOW
APPROACHES TONIGHT. HOWEVER...LLWS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE TAFS
AS IT IS NOT CONSIDERED COMPLETELY NON-CONVECTIVE.

SFC WINDS WILL VEER MORE TO THE EAST AS THE LOW APPROACHES TODAY AND
THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL GENERALLY START GUSTY EARLY SOUTH AND WILL
BUILD NORTH TO KCLT AND KHKY BY MIDDAY. WILL COMPROMISE SPEEDS
BETWEEN FWC AND MAV GUIDANCE.

HYDROLOGY...
WATER LEVELS ON THE RIVERS AND STREAMS WITHIN THE CWFA STARTING THIS
EVENT WITH RELATIVELY LOW ANTECEDENT STAGES...BUT LEVELS SHOULD BEGIN
RISING LATER THIS MORNING AS MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL BECOMES MORE
WIDESPREAD. THE ANTICIPATED PROLONGED RAINFALL RESULTS IN FLOOD
CONDITIONS ON ALL MOUNTAIN MAIN STEM RIVERS OF NORTH CAROLINA BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON MANY CRESTS...BASED ON CURRENT FORECAST
RAINFALL...SHOW RISES INTO THE MODERATE FLOOD CATEGORY. RISES TO
FLOOD STAGE ON FOOTHILL/PIEDMONT RIVERS AND STREAMS SEEM CERTAIN AT
THIS JUNCTURE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA AND UPSTATE SOUTH
CAROLINA. FUTURE COLLABORATION WITH RIVER FORECAST CENTERS WILL
DETERMINE THE MAGNITUDE OF ANY FLOODING FOR NON-MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS
AND WILL BE INCLUDED IN FUTURE HYDROLOGIC PRODUCTS ISSUED FROM OUR
OFFICE.

...SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK...

...A FEW TORNADOES POSSIBLE TODAY AND THIS EVENING ACROSS THE UPSTATE
OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA...

AS THE LARGE CIRCULATION OF THE REMNANTS OF FRANCES PASSES JUST WEST
OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT...A STRONG WIND FIELD WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION. MOST OF
THESE WINDS WILL NOT REACH THE SURFACE. HOWEVER...THE RAPID CHANGE
IN THE WINDS WITH HEIGHT WILL RESULT IN CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR A
FEW TORNADOES ACROSS EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA AND THE UPSTATE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA. THE AREA WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING A FEW
TORNADOES WILL BE TO THE SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 85 WHERE THE MOST
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL DEVELOP TODAY.

WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS THIS MORNING. A WIND
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA
MOUNTAINS. ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS...THE UPSTATE OF SOUTH
CAROLINA...AND EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT. PEOPLE WITH RECREATIONAL PLANS ON AREA LAKES SHOULD CONSIDER
CANCELLING THEM FOR TODAY AS WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WILL MAKE
BOATING DANGEROUS.
