07What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 13, 2:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 2:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 257 PM EDT WED JUL 13 2011 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL DRIFT SLOWLY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. A RIDGE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING COOLER AIR DOWN THE EAST COAST INTO THE WEEKEND. A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NEXT WEEK AND RETURN OUR REGION TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AT THE SFC...A SHALLOW TROF WILL EXIST PRIMARILY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A SLOW MOVING WEST TO EAST COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH ACROSS THE MID APPALACHIAN REGION...REMAINING WELL NORTH OF THE CWA. ALOFT...H7 TO H5 RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S AND TEMPS IN THE 90S SHOULD RESULT IN A VERY SHALLOW LAYER OF CIN WITH MODERATE TO HIGH CAPE VALUES. AT A S/W SWINGS ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC THIS EVENING...MID LEVEL WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE I-40 CORRDIOR WITH WEAK BAND OF FORCING. BASED ON THE INSTABILITY AND FORCING...IT APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST SVR TSRA POTENTIAL WILL OCCUR ACROSS I-40 CORRIDOR...HIGHLIGHTED WITH SVR WATCH 638 UNTIL 10 PM. OTHERWISE...EXPECT SCT COVERAGE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NE GA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MTNS. THE 12Z SOUNDINGS AT KGSO AND KFFC OBSERVED HIGH FZL BETWEEN 15.2 TO 15.5 KFT WITH THE WBZ ABOVE 14 KFT. CORE HEIGHTS WILL REMAIN VERY ELEVATED...WITH THE 55 DBZ CORE NEAR 30 KFT. BASED ON THE TEMPERATURE PROFILES AND MODERATE TO HIGH CAPE IT APPEARS THAT A COUPLE OF SEVERE WET MICROBURSTS ARE POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION...PW BETWEEN 1.9 TO 2 INCHES AND SLOW STORM MOTIONS COULD RESULT IN ISO AREAS OF HEAVY TO EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN IN THE HWO. DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED ACROSS THE REGION BETWEEN THE TWO SURFACE FEATURES...WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES EAST OF THE SFC TROF. LATEST OBS ALONG AND EAST OF I-85 INDICATE HI VALUES OF 103 TO 105. THE HEAT ADVISORY CONTINUES UNTIL 9 PM. OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY...A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTH...REACHING THE CWA THURSDAY MORNING. BY THE AFTERNOON...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS THE UPSTATE OF SC. MODELS ARE QUITE ACTIVE WITH CONVECTION ALONG THE BOUNDARY. FAVORING THE GFS...I WILL FAVOR THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY AND NC MTNS FOR POPS. THE LATEST DY2 SPC OUTLOOK INDICATES A GENERAL RISK. I WILL FORECAST CHC POPS SW WITH SCHC NE. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD VERIFY SEVERAL CATES BELOW VALUES OBSERVED EARLIER THIS WEEK...WITH U80S FAVORED. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY/... AS OF 130 PM WEDNESDAY...AS SFC RIDGING CONTINUES TO NOSE INTO THE REGION...SHORT RANGE MODEL CONSENSUS DEPICTS DEEP LAYER RH BAND LINGERING ATOP THE SW CWFA THURSDAY NIGHT. THE DEGREE OF E TO SE 925-850MB FLOW IS UNCERTAIN...BUT FOR NOW...WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS ACRS THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN CWFA. DO NOT PREFER THE 12 UTC NAM MASS FIELDS ON FRIDAY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE COASTAL FRONT. WILL FAVOR THE GFS/SREF SOLUTION IN DEVELOPING A WEAK SELY 85H FLOW ALONG WITH PWAT VALUES CREEPING TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS. GIVEN THIS...SENSIBLE WX WILL CONTINUE TO FEATURE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS...A MID CHANCE POP. GIVEN WEAK STEERING FLOW AND A WEAK LLVL WAA/UPSLOPE FLOW...THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY HEAVY/EXCESSIVE RAIN. THE LATEST MOS BLEND CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE GOING COOLISH MAX...PERHAPS AS MUCH AS 5 DEG F BELOW CLIMO. WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR THE OP GFS/SREF MASS FIELDS FOR SATURDAY AS WELL IN WHERE THEY LINGER SOME DEGREE OF SELY FLOW ABOVE WEAK SFC RIDGE. WOULD EXPECT ONLY NOMINAL CHANGES TO THE ABV NORMAL PWAT VALUES ATOP THE REGION...WHICH IN THEORY WOULD SUPPORT SIMILAR DEEP CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TO FRIDAY. AGAIN...WITH THE EXPECTED CLOUDS...SHOWERS AND THE LINGERING EASTERLY FLOW...MAX TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT 5 DEG F BELOW CLIMO ONCE AGAIN. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 230 PM WEDNESDAY...AS THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS FARTHER OFFSHORE...STILL EXPECT A WEAK MOIST FETCH FROM THE ATLANTIC FEEDING IN ACROSS GEORGIA AND SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA INTO SUNDAY. THIS WEAK FLOW BREAKS DOWN BY LATE SUNDAY. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE A WEAK TROPICAL SYSTEM FORMING EAST OF JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT MOVES THIS OUT TO SEA AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. GOING INTO DAY 6 AND 7...THERE WAS BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF...AS THE GFS DUG AN UPPER TROUGH DOWN THE EAST COAST AS THE ECMWF WAS BUILDING THE MISSISSIPPI RIDGE TOWARD THE CAROLINAS. THE LATEST RUN OF THE GFS IS TRENDING TOWARD THE ECMWF WITH THE RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST. THE CONSENSUS IS FOR THE TEMPERATURES TO SLOWLY CLIMB BACK INTO THE 90S NEXT WEEK FOR THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT AND AROUND 90 DEGREES FOR THE MOUNTAINS BY MID WEEK. A SHORTWAVE COMING AROUND THE TOP OF THE RIDGE MAY GIVE MAINLY NC PIEDMONT SECTIONS A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...BY THAT TIME THE RIDGE MAY SUPPRESS ALL ENERGY TO OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...DEEP CONVECTION WILL FAVOR THE HIGH TERRAIN AND UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. AS THE ATMOS DESTABILIZES AND COOL POOLS ADVANCE COVERAGE WILL INCREASE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS. I WILL INCLUDE A CB MENTION FOR EVERY TAF SITE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING. LATE TONIGHT...TAF SITES EAST OF THE MTNS SHOULD REMAIN VFR...BUT MVFR FOG IS POSSIBLE IF THE TERMINAL RECEIVES MEASURABLE RAIN. KAVL WILL LIKELY SEE MVFR FOG OR LESS LATE TONIGHT...GIVEN A WARM CROSS OVER TEMP. LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS DEVELOPING THURSDAY MORNING WITH SCT TO BKN DEBRIS CLOUDS. OUTLOOK...SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION AND EARLY MORNING FOG... ESPECIALLY AT KAVL...CAN BE EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND. RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE NE BEGINNING SUN WHICH SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTION TO SLIGHT CHC FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.
