AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
345 AM EDT SUN JUN 19 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK STATIONARY FRONT WILL LINGER IN OUR AREA TODAY. THE FRONT
WILL MOVE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT EARLY IN THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES INTO THE AREA. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL REACH THE AREA LATE IN
THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A LOW LEVEL JET PROVIDING FORCING OVER A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
MID LEVEL FORCING FROM AN MCS MOVING EWD ARE COMBINING TO PRODUCE
SCT CONVECTION ALONG THE TN/KY BORDER. SOME OF THIS CONVECTION WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE NC MTNS AS WELL. EXPECT THIS CONVECTION TO WANE
AFTER DAYBREAK. THAT SAID...AN MCV FROM THE MCS WILL MOVE INTO THE
AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND SWIFTLY MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA.
THIS FORCING COMBINED WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA WILL
PRODUCE A BKN LINE OF CONVECTION THAN SPREADS ACROSS THE AREA THRU
THE AFTERNOON. ANOTHER ROUND OF SVR STORMS SEEMS LIKELY TODAY GIVEN
THE FORCING...INSTABILITY...MUCH STRONGER SHEAR AND HIGH LEVELS OF
DCAPE AND SFC DELTA THETA-E. THE MODE OF CONVECTION SHOULD BE
SIMILAR TO SATURDAY WITH BOW ECHOES DRIVEN BY DEVELOPING COLD POOLS.
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS. TIMING OF
THE SVR STORMS IS STILL SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION...SO WILL NOT MENTION
ANY SVR IN THE GRIDS...BUT WILL IN THE HWO.

THE CONVECTION SHOULD QUICKLY MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY
EVENING. HOWEVER...THE GUIDANCE ALL AGREES THAT ANOTHER MCV WILL
MOVE JUST NORTH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO SCT
CONVECTION RETURNING TO MUCH OF NC AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS CONVECTION
SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY DAYBREAK. WILL HAVE TO WATCH TO SEE
IF SVR CHANCE RETURNS WITH THIS OVERNIGHT CONVECTION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AT 2 AM EDT SUNDAY...AS AN UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER THE TN AND OH
RIVER VALLEYS MONDAY...NORTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW WILL DIRECT IMPULSES
INTO THE CAROLINAS...WHILE A WARM FRONT MOVES SLOWLY NORTH FROM NC
TO VA. SCATTERED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF
OUR AREA CLOSEST TO THE UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE TRACK AND THE FRONT...
WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH...PEAKING IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WITH THE BEST INSTABILITY. ON TUESDAY
OUR AREA WILL BE UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE...WITH UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS
TRACKING WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA....AND THE WARM FRONT WELL OFF TO
THE NORTH. INSTABILITY REMAINS...BUT ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED WITH DIURNAL HEATING AS UPPER LEVEL FORCING IS LACKING.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL AS HEIGHTS RISE ALOFT WITH
THE BUILDING AND SLOWLY PROGRESSIVE UPPER RIDGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT 2 AM EDT SUNDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL BE ALONG THE
EAST COAST ON WEDNESDAY...WHILE A TROUGH WILL BE LOCATED UPSTREAM
OVER THE MS RIVER VALLEY. THE RIDGE WEAKENS AND MOVES SLOWLY
OFFSHORE LATE IN THE WEEK...AND THE TROUGH AXIS REACHES THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS BY THE WEEKEND. OUR AREA REMAINS IN A WARM AND HUMID
AIR MASS ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AHEAD OF A SLOW MOVING COLD
FRONT...AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POPS WILL BE CARRIED IN THE
FORECAST. FRONTAL PASSAGE OCCURS LATE FRIDAY...AND SCATTERED
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED WITH THIS BOUNDARY. CONVECTION MAY LINGER
SATURDAY IN THE IN PROXIMITY TO THE DEPARTING FRONT. TEMPERATURES
WILL TREND DOWNWARD FROM WELL ABOVE NORMAL ON WEDNESDAY...TO NEAR
NORMAL LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT...MID AND HIGH LEVEL CONVECTIVE DEBRIS WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST
THRU DAYBREAK WITH LIGHT S WIND CONTINUING. CANNOT RULE OUT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A FOG RESTRICTION NEAR DAYBREAK BECAUSE OF THE WET
GROUND AND FAIRLY LIGHT WIND. ANY RESTRICTION WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE
AFTER SUNRISE. THERE COULD BE A SIMILAR TREND IN TERMS OF CONVECTION
DURING THE DAY...BUT THE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION COULD BE FARTHER
NORTH. THEREFORE...WILL LEAVE IT OUT FOR NOW. WIND SHOULD REMAIN
GENERALLY S OF W THRU THE DAY...THEN RETURN TO LIGHT SLY FOR THE
EVENING.

ELSEWHERE...THINKING FOR THE OTHER TAF SITES IS BASICALLY THE SAME
AS FOR CLT WITH CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS THE RULE. IFR MTN
VALLEY FOG HAS DEVELOPED AND SHOULD CONTINUE THRU THE NITE. PATCHY
FOG WITH SOME IFR RESTRICTIONS HAVE DEVELOPED OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS.
WILL HAVE TO HANDLE THESE AREAS WITH AMDS. THAT SAID...THE
DEVELOPING CONVECTION COULD DISRUPT THE USUAL FOG DIURNAL TRENDS.
GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS BECOME WLY THRU THE DAY WITH LOW END GUSTS
POSSIBLE. WINDS DIMINISH FOR THE EVENING. KAVL THE EXCEPTION WITH N
TO NW WIND THRU THE PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...DRIER AND HOT WEATHER IS EXPECTED MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
THOUGH ISOLATED TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE MTNS. A COLD FRONT WILL
BRING A BETTER CHANCE OF TSTMS...AND RESTRICTIONS...BY WED OR THU.
