AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
245 PM EDT FRI SEP 14 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF HUMBERTO WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD AND AFFECT THE

LOCATIONS AND THE NC FOOTHILLS HAVE DOME VERY WELL WITH
RAINFALL...GENERALLY IN THE 1-3 INCH RANGE. EXPECT COVERAGE TO
INCREASE CONSIDERABLY ACROSS THE UPSTATE AND NC PIEDMONT DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON AS A CONVECTIVE CLUSTER FROM REMANTS OF HUMBERTO
MOVES E. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS
AND CAN NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM STORM OR
TWO...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT WHERE CAPES HAVE
POOLED TO ABOVE 1000J. FRONTAL WAVE AND FIRST FRONT WILL PUSH S OF
THE FORECAST AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT ALONG WITH ATTENDANT
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. SECOND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT WHICH WILL PROVIDE A REAL AIRMASS CHANGE FOR SATURDAY.
CLOUDS WILL SCATTER LATE TONIGHT AS DEEP LAYER DRYING COMMENCES...SO
AND WILL FORECAST SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR SAT. WILL USE A BLEND OF MOS
FOR MIN/MAX TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
HAVE MADE LITTLE CHANGE TO THE GOING SENSIBLE WX FCST FOR SUNDAY AS
IT REMAINS DEBATABLE THAT S/WV ENERGY ROTATING THROUGH BASE ON MEAN
EASTERN CONUS L/WV CAN TRIGGER ANY SHOWERS WITHIN DRY AIRMASS. SFC
RIDGING NOSED SWWD INTO THE CWFA STILL EXPECTED TO PROMOTE BELOW
NORMAL MAX TEMPS. THE PATTERN IS STILL PROGGED TO AMPLIFY ON
MONDAY...WITH THE CWFA UNDER MORE NORTHERLY FLOW AND CONTINUED
SUBSIDENT AIRMASS ALONG FRONTSIDE OF BUILDING RIDGE OFF THE OUR

DRY LLVLS AND MAX TEMPS STILL A BIT BELOW MID-SEPTEMBER NORMALS.

MOISTURE BAND AND SHOWER CHANCES CLOSER TO THE COASTAL FRONT
POSITION ON TUESDAY...LEAVING THE WESTERN CAROLINAS STILL WITHIN
DEEPER DRYING AND ONGOING SFC RIDGING. WILL PLAN ON A PERSISTENCE/00
UTC ECMWF BLEND FOR THE WEDNESDAY FCST...WITH SHOWER CHANCES STILL
CLOSER TO THE COAST. FCSTR CONFIDENCE STILL REMAINS LOW FOR THE END
OF THE WORKWEEK WITH TEMPS/CLOUDS/SHOWER CHANCES DEPENDANT ON AMOUNT
OF ATLANTIC MOISTURE/EASTERLY FLOW AND TRACK OF RETROGRADING UPPER
LOW. FELT IT BEST TO STICK CLOSE TO A CLIMO/PERSISTENCE FCST FOR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BASED ON THE UNCERTAINTY.
