AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
105 PM EDT FRI OCT 23 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN OVER THE REGION BEFORE A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE CAROLINAS TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE
EAST ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BECOME CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATED PRODUCTS TO REFLECT ISSUANCE OF WIND ADVSRY ALONG TN BORDER
COUNTIES...LAKE WIND ADVSRY RETS OF MTNS...THRU MIDNIGHT.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...FRONT AND ASSOC SHWRS CONT TO APPROACH FROM
THE W THIS MRNG. TWEAKED POPS SLIGHTLY AND BUMPED WINDS UP TO
INCORPORATE LATEST GUIDANCE AND TRENDS. TEMP/DP/RH ALSO TWEAKED
UPWARD TO REFLECT FASTER RISE THIS MRNG. CONSIDERED WIND/LAKE WIND
ADVSRY FOR MTNS THIS AFTN BUT OBS... AND EVEN THE MOST PESSIMISTIC
GUIDANCE...KEEP STRONGER WINDS OVER MTN PEAKS THIS AFTN-EVE.
CONSIDERING THE WAA SCENARIO WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY
ADVSRY FOR NOW.
EARLIER DISCUSSION...FOR THE VERY NEAR TERM...KGSP RADAR SHOWS AN
AREA OF SHOWERS LIFTING RAPIDLY NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NC MOUNTAINS
EARLY THIS MORNING. WILL RAISE THE PRECIP CHANCE TO LIKELY ALONG THE
TN BORDER TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS EARLY ACTIVITY. AFTER THIS INITIAL
WAVE PASSES...EXPECT A RELATIVE LULL UNTIL LATER THIS MORNING.
FRONTAL CONVECTION HAS BECOME A BIT DISORGANIZED WELL UPSTREAM AT
06Z. HOWEVER...INCREASING UPSLOPE FLOW AND MOISTURE SHOULD FORCE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE FRONT OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN BY
18Z. THE SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP FARTHER EAST ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AS
WARM ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE FLOW INCREASES THIS AFTERNOON.
GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE MOS GUIDANCE POP WHICH BRINGS CATEGORICAL
OVER THE MTNS/FOOTHILLS AND LIKELY OVER THE PIEDMONT. THE BIGGER
CONCERN FOR TODAY WILL BE THE WIND OVER THE MTNS. AN IMPRESSIVE LOW
LEVEL JET WILL MAINLY LIFT NE TOWARD THE OH VALLEY...BUT A CORE OF
WIND IN THE 40-50KT RANGE AT 850MB WILL MOVE OVER THE SRN
APPALACHIANS. ORDINARILY IN WARM ADVECTION FLOWS SUCH AS THIS THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN NC DO NOT SEE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER WINDS UNLESS
THERE IS CONVECTION TO BRING IT DOWN TO THE SURFACE...WHILE THE TN
SIDE CAN GET QUITE GUSTY. A CONSIDERATION OF MODEL GUIDANCE YIELDS A
FORECAST THAT COMES UP JUST SHORT OF WIND ADVISORY. SO...THIS WILL
BE MONITORED...BUT NO ADVISORY YET.
THE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH BRINGING THE FRONTAL FORCING INTO
THE REGION TONIGHT ALONG WITH THE DEEPEST MOISTURE. A CATEGORICAL
POP WAS INHERITED FOR THIS CYCLE. ALTHOUGH THE TREND OF THE SREF AND
MOSGUIDE IS TO BACK OFF A BIT...WILL STAND BY THE PREVIOUS FORECAST
AND KEEP POP CATEGORICAL...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER. SHEAR
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR A QLCS TORNADO CONCERN...FORTUNATELY
INSTABILITY LOOKS TOO MARGINAL...BUT ANY INSTABILITY COULD POSE A
PROBLEM EAST OF THE MTNS TOWARD SUNRISE SATURDAY. KEPT TEMPS NEAR A
GUIDANCE BLEND THROUGH THE PERIOD.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 250 AM FRIDAY...ISOLATED SVR WX POSSIBLE EAST OF THE MTNS
SATURDAY MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE 0-3 KM HELICITY BETWEEN 200-275 M2/S2 EAST OF I-85 AND
I-77. HOWEVER...CAPE VALUES REMAIN LESS THAN 500 J/KG...LIMITING SVR
WEATHER TO WIND. USING A BLEND OF THE 00Z NAM AND GFS...I WILL TIME
POPS FROM CHC WEST TO LIKELY EAST AT SUNRISE TO I-77 CORRIDOR CHC
DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON...DRY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN WITHIN A DEGREE OR
TWO OF NORMAL ON SATURDAY.
SUNDAY...THE CENTER OF SFC WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. AT H5...THE CWA WILL REMAIN BETWEEN RIDGE CENTERED
OVER BERMUDA WITH A DIGGING TROF OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. SUNNY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS WILL WARM TEMPERATURES FROM BELOW NORMAL
LOWS TO WITHIN 2-3 DEGREES OF NORMAL HIGHS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM FRIDAY...ON MONDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT
THE AXIS OF A LONG WAVE TROF WILL PUSH OVER THE WESTERN MISSISSIPPI
STATES DURING THE AFTERNOON. FLOW BETWEEN THE APPROACHING TROF AND
RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC MAY LIFT TROPICAL AIR
NORTHWARD. TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE MOISTURE PLUME REMAIN IN
QUESTION. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE APPROACH OF SFC FRONT TO THE WEST AND
WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT ACROSS THE COAST AND MIDLANDS...I WILL PAINT
THE CWA WITH SCHC POPS. TEMPERATURES FORECAST NEAR NORMAL.
A WEAK COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL TROF IS EXPECTED TO
APPROACH THE NC MTNS MONDAY NIGHT AND PUSHING EAST BY TUESDAY
EVENING. THESE FEATURES SHOULD SUPPORT SCT SHRA ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA. EXPECTING MIN TEMPS TO VERIFY AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
WITH HIGHS AROUND NORMAL.
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE A LONG TROF
OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WITH RIDGING CONTINUING ACROSS THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC. THIS PATTERN WILL KEEP THE CWA NEAR EDGE OF A DEEP
TROPICAL AIR MASS...WITH VERY LITTLE FORCING AT THE SFC AND ALOFT. I
WILL FAVOR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH MAINLY DIURNAL
SCHC TO CHC POPS FOR SHRA.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...COMPLICATED FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
CEILING EXPECTED TO BECOME AT LEAST TEMPO MVFR AS LOW LVL MOISTURE
RETURNS...LIFTING GRADUALLY DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY. THINK
WE SHOULD REACH VFR IN THE AFTERNOON FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS BEFORE
CONDITIONS WORSEN IN THE EVENING. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT AS
FRONTAL FORCING MOVES IN FROM THE WEST...THE CEILING WILL STEADILY
LOWER DOWN THROUGH THE MVFR RANGE TO IFR IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.
ELSEWHERE...LOW CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY OVERSPREAD THE REGION THIS
MORNING. KEPT CEILING IN MVFR RANGE INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON
WHEN THE BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD DEEPEN SUFFICIENTLY TO BRING IT UP TO
VFR FOR SEVERAL HOURS. INCREASING MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE SHOULD HELP
SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOP AFTER NOON. CONDITIONS WILL GO DOWNHILL IN
THE EVENING...POSSIBLY IFR BY THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD...BUT WILL
NOT INCLUDE YET.
OUTLOOK...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN AHEAD OF THE
FRONT AND BEFORE SUNRISE ON SATURDAY. THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH
ON SATURDAY AND ALLOW FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT LATER IN THE DAY. DRY
WEATHER WILL FOLLOW FOR SUNDAY. DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE MON AND
TUE...THOUGH THE CHANCES OF CIG AND VSBY RESTRICTIONS IN STRATUS AND
FOG WILL INCREASE.
