AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
521 PM EDT SUN AUG 26 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT STALLS OUT OVER THE MIDLANDS MONDAY AND DISSIPATES
TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH...BRINGING DRIER AIR
INTO THE REGION. ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONVECTION HAS PUSHED OUT INTO THE PIEDMONT AND SHOULD CONTINUE
DEVELOPING EASTWARD THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. WILL UPDATE TO PUSH
PIEDMONT POPS UP INTO THE LIKELY RANGE THROUGH 00Z. HIGHER DCAPE AIR
IN ERN SECTIONS COULD LEAD TO A SLIGHTLY ENHANCED WIND THREAT NEAR
CHARLOTTE METRO AREA THROUGH. WILL ALSO TAPER POPS BACK INTO A LOWER
CHANCE RANGE IN THE NC MTNS. PATCHY FOG EXPECTED OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS
ABOVE NORMAL AROUND 70 OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS AND MID 60S MTN VALLEYS.

FOR MONDAY...SHORT WAVE TROF MOVES EAST OF THE AREA AS WEAK UPPER
RIDGING RETURNS. AT THE SURFACE...TODAY/S FRONT STALLS TO OUR SOUTH.
WITH LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT AND BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE TO OUR
SOUTH....CONVECTION SHOULD HAVE LESS COVERAGE THAN TODAY. THAT SAID
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE UNSTABLE...SO HAVE ISOLATED AFTERNOON CONVECTION
NORTH AND LOW CHC SOUTH. ABOVE NORMAL HIGHS EXPECTED ONCE
AGAIN...BUT SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY WITH MORE IN
THE WAY OF CLOUDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE STALLED OUT FRONTAL BNDRY OVER THE MIDLANDS AND COASTAL PLAIN OF
THE CAROLINAS WILL DISSIPATE ON TUESDAY. HAVE CHC POP IN THE
SOUTHERN ZONES AND SLIGHT CHC EVERYWHERE ELSE ON TUESDAY WITH THE
FRONT JUST TO OUR SOUTH. THERE IS PLENTY OF DRY AIR IN THE MODEL
SOUNDINGS NORTH OF THE FRONT...BUT STILL SOME AFTN INSTABILITY. THE
CENTER OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE IS FCST TO BE OVER THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS WEDNESDAY...WITH EVEN MORE DRYING OF LOW-MID LEVELS
TAKING PLACE. UPSLOPE FLOW LOOKS STRONG ENOUGH WED AFTN...THAT EVEN
WITH THE LIMITED INSTABILITY EXPECTED...ISOLATED CONVECTION COULD
DEVELOP. SO KEPT SLIGHT CHC POP FOR THE MTNS AND DRY ON PIEDMONT.
THE SFC HIGH FLATTENS OUT THURSDAY...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY. TEMPS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK STILL FCST TO
BE ABOVE NORMAL...WITH UPPER RIDGING ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD.
HAVE MAX TEMPS IN THE LOWER 90S PIEDMONT AND 80S MTN VALLEYS
TUESDAY-THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
OVERALL PATTERN BECOMES LESS AMPLIFIED...WITH A WESTERN CONUS RIDGE
AND EASTERN TROUGH. IN ASSOCIATION WITH UPPER TROUGH OVER GREAT
LAKES...CONTINENTAL AIR TRAVERSES EASTERN CANADA ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES AND THEN ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD. WITH THE FLOW BEING
MAINLY ZONAL...MOST OF THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL BE NORTH OF THE
AREA. THE GFS SHOWS A WEAK FRONT CROSSING THE AREA FRIDAY EVENING.
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE ONLY MODEST MOISTURE AND WEAK FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH ITS PASSAGE. THE MOISTURE WILL BE TRANSPORTED FROM
THE COOLER ATLANTIC WITH NORTHEASTERLY LOW LVL FLOW...WITH THE BULK
OF GULF MOISTURE ADVECTING INTO TX. SO CUT BACK ON POP FOR THE
WEEKEND...AND BUMPED UP MAX TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY. THIS IS IN LINE WITH HPC GUIDANCE. TEMPS OVER THE WEEKEND
LOOK TO BE BELOW NORMAL WITH THE COOLER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW AND
DECREASING LOW LVL THICKNESSES. THE 12Z/26 GFS IS STILL BULLISH ON
CLOUD COVER OVER THE CWFA WITH A HINT OF WEDGING SETTING UP SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY...BUT WEAKER THAN THE 06Z/26 RUN.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONVECTION WILL MAINLY BE A THREAT AT KCLT THROUGH 00Z THIS EVENING.
PRECIPITATION SHOULD STEADILY TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST THROUGH LATE
EVENING...WITH KAVL CLEARING FIRST. EXPECT MVFR FROM ABOUT 09Z UNTIL
AROUND 14Z MONDAY. SOME LOCATIONS COULD EVEN SEE BRIEF IFR NEAR
DAYBREAK GIVEN THE HEAVY RAINFALL EXPERIENCED THIS EVENING AT
KAVL...KGSP...KAND...AND POSSIBLY KCLT AT SOME POINT.

SCT AFTN-EVE CONVECTION EXPECTED MON AND TUE BEFORE SOMEWHAT DRIER
AIR PUSHES IN FROM THE N FOR MID-WEEK. THEN ANOTHER FRONT EXPECTED
