Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 1:50 AM EDT, 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
150 AM EDT TUE APR 5 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS OUR AREA FROM WEST TO EAST
TONIGHT...THEN BE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ACROSS THE REGION AND DOMINATE OUR WEATHER
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
EXPECT OCCASIONAL UPDATES TO ADDRESS THE END OF THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH FROM THE WEST FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. TEMP/DEWPT
TRENDS WILL BE ADDRESSED AS NECESSARY.
REMAINDER OF PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE FRONT QUICKLY MOVES EAST OF THE AREA TUE MORNING...TAKING THE
SQUALL LINE WITH IT. HAVE QUICKLY ENDED POP FROM WEST TO EAST OVER
THE AREA. NW FLOW AND LOW LEVEL LINGER OVER THE MTNS...SO HAVE
LIKELY POP DIMINISHING TO SLIGHT CHC FOR THE AFTERNOON. CANNOT RULE
OUT SOME SNOW FOR THE HIGHEST PEAKS...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMS
EXPECTED. STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE THRU AT LEAST EARLY AFTERNOON.
FOR NOW...WILL NOT EXTEND ANY WIND ADV INTO TUE. HOWEVER...LATER
SHIFTS WILL LIKELY NEED SOMETHING FOR THIS PERIOD. HIGHS 5 TO 10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 130 AM TUESDAY...LITTLE CHANGE NEEDED TO THE SHORT TERM...AS
QUIET WX IS EXPECTED...WITH DOMINANCE OF UPPER RIDGE ACRS THE
SOUTHEAST STATES. THE SFC HIGH WILL BE CENTERED INVOF BERMUDA...WITH
A SERIES OF LOW PRES WAVES TRACKING NEWD ACRS THE PLAINS TO THE
GREAT LAKES. SO THERE WILL BE A PERSISTENT SWLY LLVL FLOW OUT OF THE
GULF ACRS THE SOUTHEAST STATES THRU THE PERIOD...GRADUALLY
MOISTENING THE BL. FCST SNDGS ARE TOO DRY WED AND THU...SO EXPECT
JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDINESS PERIODICALLY WITH TEMPS NEAR NORMAL WED
AND A COUPLE CATEGORIES WARMER ON THU.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 145 AM TUESDAY...NO TIME TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED...BUT
BASED ON LATEST GUIDANCE AND HPC THINKING...FCST IS ON TRACK. EXPECT
ENUF INSTBY AND WEAK ENUF CAP ACRS THE NC MTNS FOR SCATTERED
CONVECTION FRI AND SAT AFTNS. UPR RDG STRENGTHENS SLGTLY ON
SUN...WITH A DRIER BL AND STRONGER CAP...SO ONLY A SCHC POP FOR THE
NC MTNS. TEMPS WILL BE WELL ABV NORMAL THRU THE WEEKEND.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS OF 140 PM MONDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODEL OF CHOICE IS THE ECMWF.
THERE ARE SOME BIG TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF AND
THE GFS IS FOR THE MOST PART CONSIDERED AN OUTLIER MODEL. SOUTHERLY
FLOW AND INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOUT TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. A LULL IS
EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH MORE STABILITY AND
NO FOCUS MECHANISM. THE ECMWF SHOWS A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM
LEAVING OKLAHOMA FRIDAY EVENING AND REACHING THE UPPER TENNESSEE AND
OHIO VALLEYS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. IF THIS PANS OUT...WE WILL GET THE
SOUTHERN END OF THE PASSAGE OF THIS AS IT TRACKS ACROSS THE
VIRGINIAS SATURDAY NIGHT. WE WILL THEN BE UNDER OR NEAR THE AXIS OF
THE UPPER RIDGE LATE SUNDAY INTO MUCH OF SUNDAY NIGHT AND VERY
LITTLE CONVECTION. THE NEXT FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING ACROSS
TENNESSEE ON MONDAY AND VERY SLOWLY REACHING OUR AREA LATE MONDAY
AND INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THE DYNAMICS WILL BE PASSING WELL NORTH AND
THE FRONT TENDS TO WASH OUT AS IT CROSSES FROM NW TO SE LATE MONDAY
NIGHT.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE AIRFIELD
THROUGH 07Z...WITH WIND GUSTS AROUND 50-60 MPH AND SMALL HAIL. BRIEF
IFR VIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED. AFTER THE LINE MOVES THROUGH...A LARGE
AREA OF STRATIFORM RAIN WITH EMBEDDED LIGHTNING STRIKES WILL AFFECT
THE AIRFIELD UNTIL 09Z OR SO. CEILING/VIS MAY IN FACT BECOME
VFR...BUT KEPT MVFR AS A PRECAUTION BECAUSE IT IS SLIGHTLY MORE
LIKELY THAN VFR. THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIP SHIELD SHOULD MOVE OUT
AROUND SUNRISE WITH CONDITIONS BECOMING VFR BY THEN. CLOUDS SHOULD
SCATTER OUT ALTOGETHER BY 15Z OR SO. WIND WILL SHIFT WITH THE END OF
PRECIP TO SOMETHING N OF W. SOME GUSTINESS IS LIKELY FROM THE NW
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE GUSTY WINDS SHOULD END AROUND SUNSET.
ELSEWHERE...MAIN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS MOVED THROUGH. EXPECT
LINGERING OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS...THROUGH 08Z TO 10Z...ENDING FROM THE WEST BY
SUNRISE. FOR THE MOST PART...CONDITIONS WILL BE VARIABLE BETWEEN VFR
AND MVFR BECAUSE OF VISIBILITY...WHILE CEILINGS SHOULD STAY JUST
ABOVE 030. RAPID CLEARING IS EXPECTED AROUND SUNRISE FROM THE WEST
WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO NW BEHIND THE FRONT AND BECOMING GUSTY FOR
THE BALANCE OF THE DAY. SOME LOW CLOUDS COULD LINGER AT KAVL INTO
THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY...BUT VFR.
OUTLOOK...CONDITIONS SHOULD BE VFR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. SOME
RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN LATE FRIDAY AS A FRONT DROPS DOWN
INTO THE AREA.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
S FUEL MOISTURE REMAINS LOW...AND SUSTAINED WINDS ARE STILL IN IN
