AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1233 AM EST TUE FEB 5 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.  THIS WILL BRING NEAR RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES TODAY.  AFTER THE FRONT PASSES ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS.
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS TO THE NORTH ON SATURDAY...OTHERWISE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL AMPLIFY ALONG THE EAST COAST TONIGHT...
SHIFTING THE MAIN IMPULSE TRACK NORTH OF OUR AREA. A WEAK WARM FRONT
WAS ANALYZED IN THE CENTRAL SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY...WITH DEW POINT
IN THE MID 50S TO ITS SOUTH.

PRECIPITATION HAS ENDED IN THE NORTHERN TIER BEHIND A DEPARTING
IMPULSE. SOME LESSER ACTIVITY HAS BEEN NOTED IN SOUTHEAST TN...AND
SMALL POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR THAT REASON.
CLOUD COVER HAS BEEN INCREASED PER SATELLITE IMAGERY. DEW POINTS ARE
RUNNING A BIT HIGHER THAN THE ADJUSTED MAV GUIDANCE...AND FORECAST
DEW POINTS WILL BE RAISED A BIT....PROMPTING THE ADDITION OF FOG TO
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING NEAR
GUIDANCE...AND WILL NOT BE CHANGED. A FEW HIGH ELEVATION AREAS WILL
SEE WINDS TO 15 KNOTS...OTHERWISE LIGHT WINDS WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 200 PM MONDAY...DEEP LAYERED RIDGING SLOWLY MOVES OVER THE
SOUTHEAST REGION TUE AND STRENGTHENING SUBSIDENCE WILL KEEP THE
MID AND UPPER LEVELS VERY DRY. SOUTHWEST SURFACE FLOW WILL ADVECT
SOME DECENT LLVL MOISTURE INTO THE CAROLINAS...HOWEVER EXPECT ONLY
SCT CU WITH LITTLE VERTICAL EXTENT. MAX TEMPS WILL CLIMB PRETTY GOOD
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT AND EXPECT RECORD BREAKING TEMPS AT AVL AND
CLOSE TO RECORD HIGHS AT GSP. MEANWHILE...STRONG UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE AHEAD OF H5 TROF WILL DEVELOP A SFC LOW ACROSS THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A DESTABILIZING ATMOS ALONG
WITH UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD GENERATE ISOL SHRA ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
MOUNTAINS BY LATE EVENING AND WILL EXPECT ISOL TS TO DEVELOP THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT AS LARGE SCALE DYNAMICS INCREASE. MODELS ARE PICKING
UP SOME SBCAPE IN THE 100-200 J/KG RANGE LATE TUE ACROSS THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS AND A COUPLE OF THESE STORMS COULD BECOME FAIRLY STRONG.

THE 12Z NAM AND THE 12Z GFS HAVE BOTH SLOWED DOWN IMPENDING COLD
FRONT AND THE FORECAST GRIDS WERE WEENED BACK AS FAR AS TIMING IN
THE HIGHER POPS. THE SREF QPF SPREADS REMAIN HIGHER THAN THE QPF
MEANS UNTIL 12Z WED AND SREF PLUME DIAGRAMS AGREE WELL WITH
OFFSETTING HIGHER POPS UNTIL 12Z WED AS WELL. HOWEVER...THE MODELS
STILL SHOW VERY GOOD MOISTURE ADVECTION IN THE LOW LEVELS ALBEIT
WITHOUT MUCH ISENTROPIC LIFT AS THE SOUTHEAST WILL BE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF OFFSHORE LLVL HIGH AND ALREADY IN A BROAD WARM SECTOR.
SO...POPS BEFORE 12Z WED WERE REDUCED TO LIKELY ACROSS THE MTNS AND
LOW TO MID CHANCE OUTSIDE THE MTNS. THE WED 12Z TO 18Z PERIOD STILL
LOOKS GOOD FOR DEF AND LIKELY POPS WITH FRONT NEARING AND STRONG TO
PERHAPS SEVERE TS A GOOD POSSIBILITY. THE 0-3 KM HELICITY WILL BE
HIGH AND SBCAPE VALUES APPROACH 1000 J/KG. A DEEP COUPLING OF OMEGA
WILL BE MISSING HOWEVER AS H5 S/W PULLS NORTH AND DPVA REMAINS
NORTHWEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. YET...WILL ANTICIPATE STRONG AND GUSTY
CONVECTIVE WINDS THROUGH MID DAY WED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A
COUPLE ORGANIZED MCS/S. A QUICK FROPA IS STILL EXPECTED AND
ACCORDING TO H92-H85 THETA/E MASS FIELDS...AND A STRONG LLVL JET WITH
CAA WILL ALLOW FOR MOMENTUM TRANSFER GUSTS ON THE ORDER OF 30 TO 35
MPH ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT REGIONS WED AFTERNOON ALONG
AND BEHIND THE FRONT. STRONG SFC WINDS WILL BE REALIZED ACROSS THE
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE MTNS THROUGH THE DAY AS WELL...BUT RIGHT
NOW WINDS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW WATCH CRITERIA AND THESE WILL BE
ADDRESSED IN THE HWO.

THE COLD FRONT QUICKLY PUSHES TO THE COAST BY 06Z WED AND FLAT H5
RIDGING DEVELOPS TO THE WEST THROUGH 12Z. THIS WILL LESSEN THE SFC
P/GRAD THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND WIND SPEEDS WILL WEAKEN
SIGNIFICANTLY BY DAY BREAK. MAX TEMPS ON WED WILL BE A BIT TRICKY
WITH SFC FRONT COMING THROUGH AROUND MID DAY. THE BEST H85 CAA
DOESNT REALLY GET HERE UNTIL MID AFTERNOON SO A DECENT AMOUNT OF
DAYTIME HEATING CAN BE EXPECTED KEEPING TEMPS ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. OVERNIGHT LOWS THU WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL HOWEVER AS POLAR
AIR MASS SETTLES ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL SEEM MUCH COLDER THAN
WED/S LOW TEMPS WHICH SHOULD ONLY DROP TO THE L-M50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM MONDAY...MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT EARLY ON IN THE
LONG TERM. SHORT WAVES DIG OUT A TROF OVER THE CENTRAL US ON THU.
SECOND SET OF SHORT WAVES MOVE THE TROF TO THE EAST COAST BY
SATURDAY. THERE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN HOW THE MODELS HANDLE A
CLOSED LOW NEAR THE NORTHEAST ON SUNDAY...BUT GENERAL TROFINESS
REMAINS OVER OUR AREA. NEARLY ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS MONDAY WITH THE
GFS MUCH DEEPER WITH ANOTHER SERIES OF SHORT WAVES LATE IN THE DAY.

DRY WEATHER WITH ABOVE NORMAL HIGHS FRIDAY AS THE AREA IS BETWEEN
SYSTEMS. A WEAK CLIPPER-TYPE SYSTEM MOVE TO OUR NORTH FRIDAY NIGHT
ANS SATURDAY. MOISTURE IS LIMITED AND LIFT IS WEAK...BUT THIS MAY
BRING SOME RAIN OR SNOW TO THE NC MTNS. TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL. THE GFS
MOVES THE COLD FRONT TRAILING THE CLIPPER THROUGH OUR AREA ON SUNDAY
WITH COLD HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN ON MONDAY. THE ECMWF BRINGS THE
FRONT TO OUR NRN SECTIONS...THEN RETURNS IT NORTHWARD ON MONDAY.
THAT WOULD SUGGEST TEMPS NOT GETTING AS COLD AS THE GFS. HAVE GONE
CLOSER TO THE ECMWF SOLUTION KEEPING FCST DRY SAT NITE THRU MONDAY.
HPC TEMP GUIDANCE IS ALONG THE LINES OF THE ECMWF...SO TRENDED IN
THAT DIRECTION AS WELL. THIS MEANS TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL THESE DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A BIT OF A COMPLICATED SET OF TAFS THIS MORNING. THERE IS A LOT OF
MOISTURE IN THE LOW LEVELS THANKS TO FLOW COMING FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO. HOWEVER...A SFC LOW IS GETTING ORGANIZED TO OUR
WEST...ALLOWING JUST ENOUGH MIXING TO MAKE FOG DIFFICULT TO FCST.
ALSO...THERE IS A LOT OF MID AND HIGH CLOUDS SEEN ON SATELLITE
STREAMING OVER THE TAF SITES...HELPING TO KEEP FOG FROM BECOMING TOO
PERSISTENT. MOST GUIDANCE SUPPORTS FOG DEVELOPING AT ALL
SITES...WITH VARYING REDUCTIONS IN VSBY...THEN MIXING THE MOISTURE
INTO A STRATUS DECK WITH IFR CIGS BY DAWN. IVE MADE LITTLE CHANGE
FROM 00Z TAFS...KEEPING THE IFR CIGS DURING THE MID-LATE MORNING
HOURS.

THE STRATUS SHOULD BURN/MIX OUT BY AROUND NOON...GIVING WAY TO
STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY/SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS THIS AFTN. CONDITIONS
SHOULD BE VFR THROUGH THE EVENING...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. CIGS WILL BEGIN TO LOWER AS THE FRONT NEARS OVERNIGHT
TUESDAY.

AVIATION OUTLOOK...A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY
MORNING...MAKING CIG/VSBY RESTRICTIONS AND PRECIPITATION LIKELY
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...WITH CONVECTION POSSIBLE DURING
THE DAYTIME HOURS. UNRESTRICTED CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY IN
A DRY RIDGE...AND AGAIN FRIDAY AS MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A COASTAL
LOW REMAINS EAST OF THE AREA. ANOTHER COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA
SATURDAY...BUT LEAVES MOISTURE BEHIND ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE
MOUNTAINS.
