AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
749 PM EDT SUN AUG 21 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...AND SETTLE JUST
SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA ON MONDAY. DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE NORTHWEST ON TUESDAY. ATLANTIC MOISTURE WILL
THEN STEADILY RETURN TO THE REGION DURING THE LATER PART OF THE
WEEK. THE PROGRESS OF TROPICAL SYSTEM IRENE WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY
MONITORED FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE CONVECTION TOOK ITS OWN SWEET TIME TO INITIATE...BUT FINALLY
DID. THIS WAS EXPECTED WITH A SHORT WAVE MOVING OVER A MOIST
UNSTABLE AIRMASS. STILL...EXPECT CONVECTION TO REMAIN ISOLATED TO
SCT AS IT MOVES OVER THE PIEDMONT THIS EVENING AND END BEFORE
MIDNIGHT. MODELS TIME A WEAK COLD FRONT TO MOVE NW TO SE ACROSS THE
CWA LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING. EXPECT CLEARING BEHIND
THE FRONT...EXCEPT OVER THE MTNS WHERE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND NWLY
FLOW CONTINUE. GUIDANCE HAS SLOWED THE DRIER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND
THE FRONT AND THE STRENGTH OF THE WNW FLOW. THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
MORE FOG FORMATION OVERNIGHT THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. LOW
TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE AROUND NORMAL. EXPECT ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA
TO REMAIN ACROSS THE WESTERN SLOPES THROUGH DAYBREAK.

MONDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL COMPLETLEY MOVE SOUTH OF THE
CWA...RESULTING IN A STEADY FALL IN DEWPOINTS. HOWEVER...DAYTIME
HEATING AND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT MAY SUPPORT A FEW SHRA/TSRA
ACROSS THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY AND SOUTHERN UPSTATE...I WILL
FORECAST 20 POPS. OTHERWISE...TEMPS WILL WARM QUICKLY WITH MOSTLY TO
PARTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS. HIGHS MAY VERIFY 2 TO 4 DEGREES ABOVE
TODAY/S VALUES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM SUNDAY...THE SHORT TERM FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON TUESDAY
WITH THE AXIS OF THE UPPER TROF LOCATED TO OUR NORTHEAST AND A STEEP
UPPER RIDGE COVERING THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CONUS. HEIGHTS
ARE EXPECTED TO RISE THRU THE PERIOD AS THE UPPER TROF LIFTS TO THE
NE AND THE UPPER RIDGE MAINTAINS ITS STRENGTH TO OUR WEST. ON
WED..MODELS GENERATE A FAIRLY POTENT LOOKING H5 SHORTWAVE OVER THE
GREAT LAKES AND PROPAGATE IT TOWARDS THE FCST AREA WED
AFTERNOON/EVENING. ITS LOOKING LIKE THE SW MIGHT PASS TO FAR TO THE
NORTH TO PROVIDE MUCH IN THE WAY OF DYNAMIC LIFTING OVER THE CWFA
BUT OF COURSE IT COULD TRACK FARTHER TO THE SOUTH.

ON TUESDAY...A SFC HIGH WILL RIDGE DOWN FROM THE NW BRINGING COOLER
AND DRIER NORTHERLY LOW LVL FLOW WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND TEMPS
RIGHT AROUND CLIMO. ON WEDNESDAY...THE SFC HIGH GETS PUSHED OFF THE
EASTERN SEABOARD AND OUR BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW VEERS AROUND TO THE NE
AND THEN EAST. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE SOME INCREASED LOW TO MID LVL
MOISTURE...HOWEVER AT THIS POINT MOST OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE IS
SUGGESTING THAT ANY MOISTURE SURGE WILL BE MODEST THRU 00Z THURS.
THERE WILL LIKELY BE A BROAD AREA OF UPPER LVL DIVERGENCE OVER THE
FCST AREA WED AFTERNOON/EVENING...HOWEVER MOST OF THE LIFT COULD BE
GENERATED TO OUR NORTH. I DO RAMP POPS UP FROM THE LATE MORNING
HOURS THRU THE EVENING WITH AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OVER MOST OF
THE CWFA AT SOME POINT...YET I DOUBT WE WILL SEE ANY WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER THAN THE
PREVIOUS DAY...WITH THE LOWER ELEVATIONS REACHING THE UPPER 80S AND
THE LOWER 80S IN THE MT VALLEYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM SUNDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE PART OF THE FORECAST WILL
CONTINUE TO FOCUS UPON THE FATE OF IRENE NEXT WEEKEND. BEFORE THE
STORM MAKES ITS APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH...WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH
SOME MINOR CONCERNS LATE IN THE WEEK...MADE MORE COMPLICATED BY THE
PRESENCE OF IRENE. THE TREND IN THE GUIDANCE IS TO SHEAR APART A
SHORT WAVE DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A
COL REGION DEVELOPS OVER THE CAROLINAS WITH IRENE MOVING NORTH OF
CUBA. THIS WILL LIKELY HALT THE PROGRESS OF A SURFACE FRONT AND
CAUSE IT TO STALL ON THE W SIDE OF THE MTNS ON THURSDAY. IF THAT
HAPPENS...WE WILL LOSE SOME OF THE IMPETUS FOR SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. IN FACT...THE MODELS
RETAIN SOME WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS IN
BETWEEN THE FRONT W OF THE MTNS AND IRENE TO THE S. THIS WOULD ALSO
BE MORE UNFAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION. BOTTOM LINE IS THINGS ARE
LOOKING SOMEWHAT DRIER FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND PRECIP CHANCES
WILL BE DIMINISHED...WHILE TEMPS ARE NUDGED UP A BIT.

FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THE LATEST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO MOVE A
LOW OF TROPICAL ORIGIN SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS...BUT THERE IS
A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TRACK. SOMETHING FARTHER
WEST LIKE THE 00Z ECMWF WOULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAIN
AND A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING...WHILE A TRACK SIMILAR TO THE 12Z
GFS MIGHT ONLY AFFECT THE WRN PIEDMONT. THE FORECAST WILL CONTAIN A
40-50 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN WHICH IS MORE OF A MEASURE OF THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE LOW TRACK. OBVIOUSLY IF THE LOW TAKES A WESTERN
TRACK WE ARE LOOKING AT CERTAIN HEAVY RAIN...BUT EVEN THE EASTERN
TRACK WOULD REQUIRE A CATEGORICAL POP AROUND CHARLOTTE. THE BEST
ADVICE FOR NOW IS FOR ALL INTERESTS ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND
NORTHEAST GEORGIA TO MONITOR THE FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...IT TOOK A WHILE BUT THE SHORT WAVE MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA FINALLY PRODUCED ENUF LIFT TO TAP THE MOIST UNSTABLE
AIR MASS AND PRODUCE ISOLATED TO SCT CONVECTION. IN GENERAL...EXPECT
VFR CONDITIONS UNLESS A CELL MOVES OVER THE AIRFIELD. ALTHOUGH I
HAVE PUT IN TS AT SITES WHERE CELLS ARE CURRENTLY IN PLAY. ACTIVITY
SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY EVENING. A WEAK COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO SWEEP NW TO SE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AND EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. AFTER FROPA...WINDS WILL FAVOR A DIRECTION BETWEEN
340 TO 010 DEGREES AROUND 8 KTS. GUIDANCE HAS SLOWED THE DROP IN
DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE AREA. GIVEN THIS...GUIDANCE NOW ALL AGREES ON
MVFR MOST SITES OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS...AND IFR MTN VALLEYS. HAVE GONE
WITH THIS SCENARIO. EXPECT NLY WINDS AND SCT CU DURING THE AFTERNOON
WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION POSSIBLE OVER THE UPPER SAV RVR VALLEY.

OUTLOOK...DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON TUESDAY. MORE
UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN BY MID WEEK AS ANOTHER COLD
FRONT STALLS OVER THE AREA. MORNING FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESP IN
MTN VALLEYS AND WHERE RAIN FALLS THE DAY BEFORE.
