AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
111 PM EDT SAT MAY 19 2007
.SYNOPSIS...
COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA BRINGING A CHANCE OF
FROST AGAIN TO THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS TONIGHT. ON MONDAY A
WEAK FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH AND STALL OVER WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. BY
TUESDAY THE FRONT WILL DISSIPATE ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO TAKE OVER
AGAIN. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE MOUNTAINS
BY NEXT FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A CLOSED UPPER LOW WAS ANALYZED IN EASTERN PA...LIFTING OUT TO THE
NORTHEAST. A DRY NORTHWESTERLY SURFACE FLOW BETWEEN THE DEPARTING
UPPER LOW AND AN ADVANCING SURFACE RIDGE WILL KEEP SKIES MOSTLY
CLEAR...AND ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RECOVER FROM THE UNSEASONABLY COOL
READINGS OF THIS MORNING. BASED ON CURRENT TEMPERATURES TRENDS...
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE RAISED TWO DEGREES...AND TOWARD THE 06Z
MAV GUIDANCE NUMBERS. WITH DEEP MIXING...WINDS COULD BECOME A BIT
GUSTY...BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE IN A WEAK NW FLOW REGIME BETWEEN THE
SLOWLY RETREATING UPPER LOW OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST AND A
BUILDING...DEEP LAYER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. THIS WILL KEEP A
VERY DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE OVER THE REGION...RESULTING IN LARGE
DIURNAL RANGES THROUGH MONDAY. FROST LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET AGAIN
TONIGHT...THOUGH IT SHOULD MAINLY BE CONFINED TO THE INTERIOR
VALLEYS OF THE SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. THEREFORE...WL ISSUE
ANOTHER FROST ADVISORY FOR PARTS OF THE NC MTNS...BUT FOR A SMALLER
AREA THIS TIME. IN PARTICULAR...WL NOT INCLUDE THE NRN MTNS AND THE
UPPER FRENCH BROAD VALLEY. OTHERWISE LOOK FOR CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT
AND SUNNY SKIES ON SUNDAY. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TYPE WEATHER.
ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY A WEAK BACK-DOOR COLD FRONT MAKES A RUN AT THE
NE ZONES. THE GFS HAS MODEST CAPE VALUES NORTH OF I-40 MONDAY
AFTERNOON. I/VE KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA/TSTMS IN THIS AREA...
BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE A FAINT HOPE AT THIS POINT WITH PAULTRY DEEP
LAYER RH VALUES AND AN H5 RIDGE PARKED SQAURELY OVER THE REGION BOTH
DAYS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HAVE INCREASED CLOUD COVER SOMEWHAT DURING THE PERIOD. DEVELOPING
ONSHORE FLOW RESULTS IN RATHER HIGH MEAN RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN
THE 1000-85 MB LAYER... ESPECIALLY IN THE UPSLOPE AREAS OF WESTERN
PIEDMONT... FOOTHILLS... AND MOUNTAINS TUESDAY INTO THE LATTER PART
OF THE WEEK. NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE TO POPS AT THIS TIME.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS AT LESS THAN 10 KNOTS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE
THIS EVENING...WHILE A FEW CUMULUS GIVE WAY TO A FEW ALTOCUMULUS.
WINDS WILL COME UP FROM THE WEST AT LESS THAN 10 KNOTS SUNDAY
MORNING.
AVIATION OUTLOOK...INCREASING MOISTURE IN AN EASTERLY FLOW OFF THE
ATLANTIC COULD RESULT IN RESTRICTIONS TO CEILINGS BY THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK...MAINLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
THESE SAME EASTERLY WINDS WOULD PROVIDE SOME MIXING...AND AT LEAST
PARTIALLY OFFSET INCREASING RELATIVE HUMIDITY...LIMITING FOG
PRODUCTION.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
THE LATEST ADJUSTED MAV DEW POINTS LOWER RELATIVE HUMIDITY TO BELOW
25 PERCENT EVERYWHERE BUT HE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHERN NC
MOUNTAINS. A RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE HOISTED IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA
FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WINDS WILL STAY SHORT OF RED
FLAG CRITERIA IN NC AND SC...THOUGH HIGHER NC ELEVATIONS COULD SEE
GUSTS UP TO 20 KTS DURING MAX HEATING. WITH A DESCENDING SUBSIDENCE
INVERSION...WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR DRAMATICALLY LOWERING
DEWPOINTS IN THE NC MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON.
RH/S WILL NOT RECOVER A GREAT DEAL OVERNIGHT...PARTICULARLY AT
HIGHER ELEVATIONS...THOUGH WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE MORE THAN 10
KTS AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
DRY AGAIN ON SUNDAY. CURRENTLY MANY AREAS ARE PREDICTED TO SEE RH/S
FALL TO AROUND 20 PERCENT...AND THAT IS PROBABLY A LITTLE ON THE
HIGH SIDE. FORTUNATELY THE WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHTER ON SUNDAY THAN
TODAY. I HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR NE GA AS WE SHOULD SEE
SEVERAL HOURS OF SUB 25 PERCENT RH.
