AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1022 PM EDT SAT JUL 30 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH
SUNDAY...THEN GRADUALLY DISSIPATE ACROSS SOUTH GEORGIA AND THE
CAROLINA COAST ON MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION
ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1025 PM SAT...OUTFLOW BNDRY MOVING INTO THE FA FROM THE NORTH
IS MERGING WITH OLD BNDRYS LAID DOWN BY EARLIER STORMS AND YIELDING
QUITE A FEW SHRA AND TSTMS OVER THE NRN NC FOOTHILLS AND WESTERN
PIEDMONT. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE
HOURS...ESPECIALLY DOWN ACROSS THE I-77 CORRIDOR WHERE THE GREATEST
INSTABILITY IS LOCATED AND WHERE MOST OF THE OUTFLOW MERGERS WILL
BE. POPS HAVE BEEN RAISED INTO THE LIKELY RANGE ACROSS THIS AREA.
THE LATEST RUC IS ALSO INDICATING A WELL DEFINED H5 CONVECTIVELY
INDUCED VORT SLOWLY CROSSING THE REGION WHICH IS LIKELY HELPING
IMPART A LITTLE SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING ON THE CONVECTION. AREAS THAT
SEE RAINFALL COULD FOG UP LATER TONIGHT...BUT A SOLID AC/CS DECK IS
ALSO ENVELOPING THE REGION...SO WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG STILL LOOKS
UNLIKELY.

AS OF 755 PM SAT...CONVECTION OVER THE WRN PART OF THE UPSTATE...NE
GA AND THE SW NC MTNS HAS DISSIPATED. POPS IN THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN
LOWERED TO 20 PERCENT OR LESS. HEALTHY CHANCE POPS CONTINUE OVER
MOST OF THE REST OF WRN NC AND THE NE PART OF THE UPSTATE. THE
AIRMASS IN THESE AREAS REMAINS RATHER UPSTATE. AS LAYER RH/S
GRADUALLY INCREASE AND AS OUTFLOW BNDRYS CONTINUE TO ENTER THE
REGION FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST...SCT SHRA/TSTMS WILL CONTINUE FOR A
FEW MORE HOURS. LOOKS LIKE QUITE A BIT OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD
COVER OVERNIGHT AND SKY COVER HAS BEEN INCREASED TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS. I/LL KEEP AN EYE ON DIURNAL TRENDS...BUT CLOUD COVER WILL HOLD
UP MIN TEMPS IN SPOTS AS WELL.

AS OF 515 PM SAT...AN OUTFLOW BNDRY HAS MOVED INTO NE GA AND THE SW
NC MTNS. THIS IS HELPING TO CONCENTRATE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY OVER THE SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. THE WEAK SHEAR AND WARM MID
LEVEL TEMPS AREN/T ALLOWING FOR MUCH UPSCALE DEVELOPMENT...BUT THIS
MORE CONCENTRATED AREA OF CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIFT TO THE
EAST OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 4 HOURS. I/VE ADDED LIKELY POPS ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE LINE. I/VE ALSO TRIMMED POPS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS
OVER THE NC FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. STORMS MAY INCREASE IN THESE
AREAS LATER IN THE EVENING AS LLVL CONVERGENCE STRENGTHENS ACROSS
THE FOOTHILLS AS A LEE TROUGH ADVANCES TO THE EAST /SEE THE NAM12
925MB MASS FIELDS/. THEREFORE I HAVE THE POPS INCREASING OVER THE NE
ZONES LATER IN THE EVENING.

ALSO OF NOTE...CHARLOTTE BROKE A RECORD HIGH TODAY HITTING 101
DEGREES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE E AND WEAKEN OVER THE REGION
TONIGHT AND SUN...ALLOWING A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY AND A SERIES OF
WEAK SHORTWAVES ALOFT TO PUSH THRU THE AREA. WITH TEMPS WARMING INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 90S E OF THE MTNS AND DEW POINTS STAYING IN THE
UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70...HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR 105 WILL LIKELY BE
REACHED ALONG THE SE TIER OF COUNTIES AND A HEAT ADVSRY IS IN PLACE
FOR THAT AREA. DID EXPAND AREA SLIGHTLY TO COVER ROCK
HILL...CHARLOTTE AND STATESVILLE. SOUNDINGS SHOW AREA NOT AS CAPPED
AS IN PREV DAYS SO SHWRS AND TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE
MTNS AND PUSH SE...WITH SCT CONVECTION DEVELOPING AND SPREADING OVER
THE PIEDMONT THRU THE AFTN AND EARLY EVE. CONVECTION WILL TAPER OFF
WITH COOLING BUT WITH WEAK UPPER FORCING OVERNIGHT...WE HELD ON TO
LOW END CHC POPS THRU THE NIGHT. WITH THE SFC BOUNDARY CONTINUING TO
MOVE THRU THE CWA AND WEAK UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE OVER THE AREA
SUN...LIKELY POPS WERE CARRIED FOR SUN AFTN. WITH THE ATMOS FAIRLY
WELL SATURATED THRU THE COLUMN AND PWATS OF OVER 2 INCHES...WENT
WITH MODERATE SHWRS SUN AFTN. NOT SEEING ANY PARTICULAR THREAT AREA
BUT SCT DRAINAGE PROBLEMS COULD OCCUR IN AREAS WHERE CELLS TRAIN.
DUE TO CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP TEMPS SHOULD BE ABOUT 6-8 DEG COOLER
SUN AFTN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 155 PM SATURDAY...A GENERAL WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE WILL
CONTINUE AND THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW REMAINS DIVERGENT MON AS AN ILL
DEFINED SFC TROF SLOWLY SHIFTS SOUTH ACROSS THE CWFA. THERE IS GOOD
AGREEMENT IN THE OP MODELS WITH TIMING AND DEEPNESS OF MOISTURE AND
SUBSIDENCE DEVELOPING DOWN TO H7 THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WEAK E/LY
SFC/H85 FLOW WILL GENERATE SOME MEASURE OF TOPO LIFT ACROSS THE ERN
FACING SLOPES WHILE THE SFC TROF FOCUSES CONVERGENCE PRECIP ACTIVITY
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT REGIONS. HIGH END CHANCE POPS WILL COVER THIS
SCENARIO THROUGH EARLY MORNING MON WITH DECREASING POPS TO
SLIGHT/CHANCE N/S BY THE AFTERNOON. KEPT POPS A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE
ACROSS THE NC SRN/CNT MTNS MON AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR INSTABILITY
DEVELOPING IN THE WAKE OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE.

THUNDERSTORMS SHOULDN/T BECOME TOO STRONG IN THE AFTERNOON...WITH
SKINNY SBCAPE AND A DECENT CI DECK ROUNDING THE RIDGE....BUT THERE
IS A POSSIBILITY OF DIFFERENTIAL HEATING CLOSE TO THE SFC CONV ZONE
SETTING OFF A FEW TALLER AND STRONGER STORMS. MAX TEMPS WERE KEPT
RIGHT AROUND NORMAL AND FOLLOWED THE MORE CONSISTENT METMOS
GUIDANCE. THE MAV IS ABOUT 10 DEGREES WARMER THAN THE MET AND NO
GOOD REASON COULD BE FOUND IN THE DYNAMIC MODELS TO SUPPORT IT/S
OUTPUT. ALSO...THE 09Z SREF SIDED CLOSELY WITH THE COOLER MET.

MOISTURE LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO WANE FAIRLY QUICKLY MON NIGHT AS
DEEPER SUBSIDENCE MOVES IN AND THE MID/UPPER HEIGHT GRADIENT
TIGHTENS AND BECOMES DISTINCTLY N/LY. THIS ALONG WITH A 1015 MB HIGH
CENTERING OVER THE REGION...WILL ALLOW DEEP DRYING. SO...NO POPS ARE
WARRANTED AND MAX TEMPS WILL REBOUND TO ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. GOOD AFTERNOON MIXING WILL LOWER SFC TD/S AND OFFSET ANY
HEAT ADVISORY CONCERNS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF NOON SATURDAY...THE GLOBAL MODELS REMAIN IN QUITE GOOD
AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS THROUGH THE MEDIUM
RANGE. EXPECT THE PATTERN TO REMAIN HIGHLY AMPLIFIED...WITH A MAJOR
SUBTROPICAL HIGH DOMINATING THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE COUNTRY. THE
PERIOD WILL START OFF RELATIVELY DRY...AS CONVECTION TUE EVENING
INTO WEDNESDAY SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED AT BEST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
AN UNSEASONABLY DRY AIRMASS.

HOWEVER...AS A SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
CONUS AND THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WEDNESDAY...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
SAG INTO THE SOUTHEAST FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK. AT FIRST...
IT DOESNT APPEAR THERE WILL BE A GREAT DEAL OF MOISTURE FOR THIS
FEATURE TO WORK WITH. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF/GFS SUGGEST THAT THE
BERMUDA HIGH WILL MAKE A COMEBACK BY THURSDAY OR SO...ALLOWING
CHANCES FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION TO INCREASE.

MAX TEMPS EARLY IN THE PERIOD WILL REMAIN AS MUCH AS A COUPLE OF
CATEGORIES ABOVE NORMAL...WITH MIN TEMPS AVERAGING AROUND NORMAL IN
THE DRIER AIR. BY THE END OF THE WEEK...MAX TEMPS WILL DECREASE A
BIT AND MINS INCREASE A BIT AS MOISTURE/CONVECTIVE COVERAGE
INCREASES.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...AN OUTFLOW BNDRY WILL HAVE PUSHED THROUGH
ALL THE UPSTATE TAF SITES BY 00 UTC. THIS SHOULD KEEP CONVECTION OUT
OF THESE AREAS FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS...AND PROBABLY THE REST OF THE
NIGHT. ALL OF THE NC SITES WILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH SCT SHRA/TSTMS
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THE STORMS ARE SCATTERED ENUF THAT ONLY CB/S
HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE TAF. HOPEFULLY THE CONVECTION WILL END
BETWEEN 2 AND 4 UTC. MVFR FOG AND HAZE IS POSSIBLE LATE
TONIGHT...THOUGH HIGH CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP VSBYS FROM GETTING TOO LOW.
IN FACT...IFR FOG HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM KAVL FOR THIS REASON.

WINDS WILL GRADUALLY TURN OUT OF THE NORTH OVERNIGHT AS A LEE SIDE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. WINDS WILL BE WEST TO SOUTHWEST FOR
A TIME OVER THE UPSTATE...AND LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH AT KCLT PRIOR
TO THE TROF PASSAGE.

OUTLOOK...SFC BOUNDARY WILL PUSH S OF THE AREA SUN NIGHT-MON WITH
DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TUE AND WED.
