NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 12, 1:44 PM EDT, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 12, 1:44 PM EDT, 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 144 PM EDT SAT MAY 12 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF OUR REGION ON SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SETTLE OVER THE CAROLINAS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK...BEFORE MOVING OFF THE COAST. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTHWEST IN MID WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS CURRENTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA... ESPECIALLY MOUNTAINS AND THE UPSTATE. THE NC PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS ONLY PARTLY CLOUDY. CLOUDS ARE SIGNIFICATLY HOLDING DOWN SURFACE TEMPERATURES WHICH IN TURN WILL CURTAIL CAPES AND THE AMOUNT OF DEEP CONVECTION POTENTIAL. THE EXCEPTION APPEARS TO BE IN THE NC FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE INSTABILITY WILL BE MAXIMIZED. 12Z NAM NOT EXACTLY CAPTURING THE DETAILS WITH LOCATION OF MINIMUM/MAXIMUM CAPES FOR THE AFTERNOON. I STILL THINK THAT COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN THE NUMEROUS CATEGORY FOR THE MID/LATE AFTERNOON HOURS FROM THE NC/SC PIEDMONTS AS SURFACE CONVERGENCE/DPVA/DIFFLUENCE ALOFT MAXIMIZES. THEREFORE...WILL MAINTAIN THE LIKELY POPS. SEVERE POTENTIAL NOT VERY GREAT AS COLUMNS VERY MOIST AND WEAK WIND FIELDS. COULD NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM IN THE NC PIEDMONT WHERE HIGHEST CAPES WILL BE...BUT HEAVY DOWNPOURS APPEAR TO BE THE GREATEST THREAT. HAVE TRIMMED HIGH TEMPS BACK A GOOD CATEGORY MOUNTAINS/SC UPSTATE...WITH LITTLE CHANGE NC PIEDMONT/FOOTHILLS. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY/... SFC RIDGING REMAINS ON TRACK TO BUILD SOUTH TOWARD THE CWFA ON SUNDAY WITH THE RESULTANT NE TO E LLVL FLOW ALLOWING MAX TEMPS TO RETURN TO VALUES CLOSER TO NORMAL. STILL DO NOT BUY OP SHORT TERM MODEL RESPONSE OF ANY SHOWER DEVELOPMENT WITHIN EASTERLY FLOW AND SHALLOW MOISTURE. VIRTUALLY NO CHANGE EXPECTED TO THE INHERITED DRY AND SEASONABLE FCST FOR MONDAY AS SFC HI PRES CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTH ACRS THE CAROLINAS. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... LOW AMPLITUDE UPPER RIDGING WILL HANG ON OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. THROUGH TUESDAY WHILE PROGRESSIVE SFC RIDGE AXIS BECOMES ORIENTED E-W AND THE CENTER MOVES OFFSHORE. LLVL RETURN FLOW GETS UNDERWAY ALONG THE BACK SIDE OF LLVL RIDGING...ALLOWING A RETURN TO WARM TEMPERATURES. IT REMAINS QUESTIONABLE WHETHER DEVELOPING WEAK INSTABILITY ACRS THE MOUNTAINS TUESDAY AFTERNOON WOULD BE ABLE TO SUPPORT DEEP CONVECTION...SO WILL LEAVE DRY FOR NOW. 12/00 UTC OP GFS SUPPORTS GOING THINKING FOR WED/WED NITE PROGGING FRONTAL BAND DEEP CONVECTIVE CHANCES MOVING SOUTHEAST ACRS THE CWFA. QUICKER MOVEMENT AND MORE PRONOUNCED DEEP DRYING IS NOW PROGGED FOR THURSDAY BUT WILL LEAVE TOKEN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AS IS FOR NOW PENDING REGULAR EXTENDED COLLABORATION PERIOD LATER THIS MORNING. GOING POST FRONTAL AND SEASONABLE FCST FOR FRIDAY WILL REMAIN AS IS AS WELL. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL BE CONVECTION THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON. LOOKS LIKE EVERY AIR FIELD WILL SEE THUNDERSTORMS AT LEAST IN THE VICINITY....WITH KCLT HAVING THE HIGHEST CHACCE OF SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO OPERATIONS. DEEP CONVECTION ALREADY DEVELOPING IN THE NC PIEDMONT TO THE NW OF KCLT...AND THIS SHOULD DRIFT SE OVER THE AIRPORT BY 20Z. COULD SEE SOME BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS IN CIG/VSBY...BUT ELECTED TO KEEP TEMPO GROUP IN MVFR RANGE. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DIMINISH RAPIDLY FROM N TO S AS UPPER VORT MAX MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THREAT OF THUNDER ENDS ALL TAF SITES BY 00Z. ALL GUIDNACE INDICATES MID LEVEL CEILINGS AFTER THE STORMS CLEARING BY 06Z. DID NOT FORECAST ANY FOG AS IT LOOKS LIKE MIXING WILL BE SUFFICIENT BEHIND BACKDOOR FRONT TO PRECLUDE IT.
