Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 1:44 PM EDT, 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
144 PM EDT WED JUN 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TODAY...THEN GRADUALLY
SHIFT EAST AND OVER THE ATLANTIC BY THE END OF THE WEEK. A WEAK COLD
FRONT WILL THEN APPROACH THE CAROLINAS OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT 1745Z...WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED UNDER THE UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE NC MOUNTAINS DRIVEN BY DIFFERENTIAL HEATING/TOPO
AFFECTS. THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WITH
LITTLE OR NO WIND THROUGH THE COLUMN...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS THE
MAIN THREAT...BUT SOPME SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE AS WELL WITH THE TALLEST
STORMS. WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING...EXPECT CONVECTION WILL WANE
QUICKLY ABOUT SUNSET WITH LOSS OF HEATING. DEBRIS CLOUSDS EXPECTED
TO DISSIPATE DURING THE EVENIGN ALLOWING FOR CLEAR CONDITIONS
OVERNIGHT. WITH THE UPPER RIDGE SHIFTING EAST OF THE AREA ON
THU...IT APPEARS CIN WILL BE MUCH LESS ALLOWING FOR SUBSTANTIALLY
MORE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IN THE AFTERNOON...EXTENDING OUT OVER THE
FOOTHILLS AND INTO THE PIEDNMONT AREAS. HOT TEMPS WILL CONTINUE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230 AM WEDNESDAY...THE SHORT TERM FCST BEGINS AT 12Z ON
THURSDAY WITH THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINNING TO WEAKEN AND THE UPPER
PATTERN BECOMING MORE ZONAL AND 500MB HEIGHTS FALL. NO SIGNIFICANT SFC
PATTERN CHANGE IS ANTICIPATED THRU THE END OF THE WEEK WITH LIGHT
SOUTHERLY FLOW BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT TIMES. SCT
AFTERNOON/EVENING SH/TS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP OVER THE MTNS ON BOTH
THU AND FRI. WITH A LITTLE MORE WLY FLOW OVER THE REGION ON
FRI...AND A WEAKER RIDGE...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL LIKELY BE BETTER
ON FRI. THOUGH WITH THE LACK OF FORCING...POPS ONLY MAX OUT AROUND
30 TO 35 PERCENT OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO
RUN ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL BOTH DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 120 PM WEDNESDAY...ON SUNDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE
THAT A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY SLIDE ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. THE FRONT WILL LIKELY INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHRA/TSRA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE
MARGINAL LLVL LAPSE RATES WITH CAPE VALUES BELOW 1000 J/KG. IN
ADDITION...LLVL WIND FIELDS APPEAR VERY WEAK...GENERALLY LESS THAN
10 KTS BELOW 15 KFT. I WILL FAVOR CHC POPS ACROSS THE MTNS AN THE NC
FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT...WITH SCHC ACROSS THE UPSTATE AND NE GA.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN 5 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VERY LITTLE PATTERN CHANGE IS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE CWA REMAINS BETWEEN A BROAD MID LEVEL TROF
OVER THE ATLANTIC AND MID LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS.
WEAK WIND FIELDS AND WEAK TO MARGINAL INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT
AFTERNOON TO EVENING AIR MASS SHRA/TSRA. I WILL LIMIT COVERAGE IN
THE 20 TO 30 PERCENT RANGE. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN 5
TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...VFR EXCEPT FOR SOME EARLY MRNG MVFR FOG AT
KAVL AGAIN EARLY ON THU. EXPECT SCT CU ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON WITH ISOLD TSTMS IN THE MTNS INTO EARLY EVE...THEN GENLY
SKC OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT MOSTLY SW. THUNDERSTORMS COULD
GET GOING A LITTLE EARLIER ON THU AND BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVER
THE MOUNTAINS BY 18Z THU...BUT WILL NOT CARRY A CB AT THIS TIME AT
KAVL.

OUTLOOK...BASED ON LESS CONVECTIVE INHIBITION SHOWN IN THE FORECAST
SOUNDINGS ON THU....THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE MORE
WIDESPREAD THU AFTERNOON...AND EXTEND OUT OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND
NORTHERN PIEDMONT AREAS. UPPER RIDGE GRADUALLY WEAKENS THROUGH LATE
WEAK ALLOWING FOR A CONTINUATION OF AT LEAST SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN
SUN WITH PERHAPS MORE ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM THREAT WITH ITS
PASSAGE. EARLY MORNING MOUNTAIN VALLEY FOG IS A GOOD BET EACH DAY.
