Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 5:40 PM EDT, 43 minutes before

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

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...
WITH A GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL APPROACH OVER THE WEEKEND AND MOVE EAST OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
2130 UTC UPDATE...POPS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO ACCOUNT FOR CONVECTION
IN THE UPSTATE SC AND NORTHEAST GA...AND QPF WAS UPDATED FOR THE
SAME REASON.

AT 230 PM... WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE INTO LATE
AFTERNOON. WITH LITTLE OR NO WIND THROUGH THE COLUMN...LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN IS A MAIN THREAT...BUT SOME MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL POSSIBLE AS
WELL WITH THE TALLEST STORMS. EXPECT CONVECTION WILL WANE QUICKLY
ABOUT SUNSET WITH LOSS OF HEATING. DEBRIS CLOUDS EXPECTED TO
DISSIPATE DURING THE EVENING ALLOWING FOR CLEAR CONDITIONS
OVERNIGHT. MINIMUM TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE AVERAGE PER A MOS
BLEND.

ON THU WITH THE UPPER RIDGE SHIFTING EAST OF THE AREA ON THU...WEAK
UPPER DIVERGENCE WILL RESULT OVER THE AREA. ALSO...MODELS SUGGEST
THAT THE LEE TROF WILL BECOME MORE PROMINENT. IN ADDITION...FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT CIN WILL BE MUCH LESS. ALL THIS SHOULD ALLOW
FOR SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IN THE AFTERNOON...
EXTENDING OUT OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND INTO THE PIEDMONT AREAS. WILL
FEATURE HIGHEST POPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS WHERE 50-60% COVERAGE LOOKS
REASONABLE...WITH 20-40% COVERAGE OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAINS. HOT TEMPS
WILL CONTINUE ON THU.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...BROAD RIDGING WILL
REMAIN ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE PERIOD. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE A FAIR MOIST PROFILE...WITH PW VALUES AROUND 1.25 INCHES.
CIN VALUES APPEAR VERY WEAK WITH CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 500 TO 1000
J/KG. AT THE SFC...WEAK RIDGING IS EXPECTED EAST OF THE MTNS...WITH
VERY WEAK LLVL WINDS. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENVIRONMENT WILL FAVOR THE
HIGH TERRAIN AND FOOTHILL AREAS FOR CONVECTION INITIATION DURING THE
EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. I WILL INDICATE POPS BETWEEN 20 TO 30
PERCENT ACROSS THE NC ZONES...SCHC ACROSS THE SC UPSTATE AND NE GA.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.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 /22Z 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.
