AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
232 PM EDT TUE AUG 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAY WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHEAST
FROM EAST CENTRAL TENNESSEE THIS EVENING TO FAR EASTERN KENTUCKY
LATE WEDNESDAY.  AS THE REMAINS OF FAY MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA...THE
RAIN WILL DECREASE.  HOWEVER...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHWEST THIS WEEKEND...THE CHANCES OF RAIN WILL RETURN.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AUTOMATED GAGE AND SPOTTER REPORTS ARE INDICATING RAINFALL RATES
APPROACHING AN INCH PER HOUR OVER THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE
MOUNTAINS AND OVER THE WESTERN FOOTHILLS. EXPECT FLASH FLOODING TO
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD IN THESE AREAS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE
ONE GOOD THING IS THAT THE AREA OF FORCING AND STRONG LLVL MOISTURE
TRANSPORT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEAVY RAIN IS MOVING RATHER QUICKLY.
THIS SHOULD CUT THE PCPN POTENTIAL OFF AT AROUND 3 TO 5 INCHES ALONG
THE LEE SLOPES THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT...BUT THAT/S CERTAINLY
ENOUGH. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE KEPT IN PLACE AND WILL REMAIN
IN EFFECT THROUGH 12 UTC WED.

TORNADO THREAT CONTINUES AS WELL. JUST HAD A CELL DEVELOP IN NE GA
THAT HAD THE FIRST REAL GOOD LOOKING LOW LEVEL VELOCITY COUPLET OF
THE DAY. THIS THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH SUNSET. IN FACT...AS
THE LLVL JET THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEAVY MOUNTAIN RAIN MOVES
THROUGH...THIS SHOULD ALSO HEIGHTEN TORNADO POTENTIAL OVER THE
FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT AS LLVL HELICITY INCREASES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT TUESDAY...THE REMNANTS OF FAY WILL DRIFT NEWD ACRS
ERN TN/KY (JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS) ON WEDNESDAY...AS THE SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO INTERACT WITH AN E-W ORIENTED BNDRY ACRS THE MID
ATLANTIC/CENTRAL APLCNS. SELY LO LVL UPSLOPE FLOW WL
CONTINUE...HOWEVER...THE PRES GRADIENT B/T THE REMNANT LO...AND AN
EAST COAST SFC RDG WL WKN...DECRSG THE AMT OF UPSLOPE FLO BY
WEDNESDAY AFTN. THERE LUKS TO BE ENUF UPSLOPE CONVERGENCE/OMEGA TO
WARRANT A CATEGORICAL POP ALONG THE BLUE RDG ESCARPMENT. THE GFS
DIFFERS FROM THE NAM...IN PUTTING MORE NEG TILT TO THE REMNANT
LO/TROF...WITH A DRY SLOT PUSHING IN E OF THE MTNS BY WEDNESDAY
AFTN. THE NAM KEEPS A STRONGER UPSLOPE COMPONENT AND OVRLL HIER QPF.
I WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE TWO SOLUTIONS...KEEPING LIKELY POP
EVERYWHERE THRU THE AFTN...GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF TO CHC FROM S TO N
WEDNESDAY NGT...AS FAYS REMNANTS CONT TO MV NWD. WITH THE EXPECTED
OVERCAST SKY COVER AND HIGH POPS...MAX TEMPS WEDNESDAY WILL REMAIN
SEVERAL CATEGORIES BLO NORMAL...WITH MIN TEMPS RUNNING NEAR NORMAL.

THURSDAY THRU FRIDAY NIGHT...CLDS CLR OUT...WITH LINGERING UPR SHEAR
AXIS REMAINING OVR THE AREA AND TYPICAL LATE SUMMER AFTN
DESTABILIZATION. I KEEP A SOLID CHC POP ACRS THE NC
MTNS/PIEDMONT...AS INSTBY STILL LUKS GOOD. TEMPS WILL REBOUND CLOSE
TO NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM EDT TUESDAY...WENT WITH LATEST HPC GUIDANCE FOR THE
MEDIUM RANGE DUE TO ACTIVE SHORT TERM AND THE LWR THAN AVG
CONFIDENCE IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS. A NRN STREAM TROF PUSHES INTO THE
GREAT LAKES RGN SATURDAY...WITH AN ASSOC SFC FRONT APPROACHING OUR
AREA FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. A WLY LOW LVL FLOW OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WL LMT THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE FOR THE FROPA. I WL KEEP A SLGT CHC
POP FOR SATURDAY. FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...UPR RDG BLDS IN
OVR THE ERN CONUS...WITH COOLER SFC HI PRES PUSHING IN FROM THE NW.
THE FRONTAL BNDRY IS FCST TO STALL OVR THE CWFA SUNDAY...WITH A CHC
POP PUT IN FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
IFR CIGS HAVE HELD IN THROUGH THE DAY AT THE FOOTHILL TAF SITES.
CIGS HAVE BEGUN TO LIFT ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM KAND TO KCLT.
I KEEP CONDITIONS A LITTLE BETTER AT THOSE TWO SITES THROUGH LATE
AFTERNOON...AND KEEP THE CIGS LOWER AT THE OTHER FOOTHILL SITES.
EVERYONE SHOULD GO BACK DOWN LATER THIS EVENING ONCE WE LOSE DAYTIME
HEATING. KAVL IS DOING IT/S OWN THING AND HAS NOT COME DOWN SO FAR
TODAY. AS FLOW INTO THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY SHOULD LOWER CIGS AND
INCREASE PCPN RATES THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WINDS WILL REMAIN PRETTY
MUCH OUT OF THE EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT...THOUGH THEY WILL GRADUALLY
SHIFT MORE TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE CIRCULATION CENTER OF FAY BEGINS
TO LIFT TO OUR NORTH.

OUTLOOK...LOW CIGS AND VSBYS MAY RETURN WED NIGHT AS THERE WILL BE
ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE WAKE OF FAY. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH A CHANCE OF MORNING CIG/VSBY
RESTRICTIONS AND DIURNAL CONVECTION EACH DAY.
