AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
354 AM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
THE HEAT WAVE WILL CONTINUE TODAY AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS ANCHORED OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES. THE RIDGE WILL START TO
WEAKEN THROUGH TUESDAY...ENDING THE TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT AND INCREASING
THE CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE REST
OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
ANOMALOUS UPPER ANTI-CYCLONE REMAINS CENTERED OVER GA TODAY. THIS
RESULTS IN H85 TEMPS OF 25C OR HIGHER AND 1000-850 THICKNESSES
AROUND 1465M AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...EXPECT RECORD DAILY
HIGHS ONCE AGAIN...ALONG WITH NEAR ALL TIME RECORD HIGHS AT GSP/CLT.
DEW POINTS WILL BE SIMILAR TO OR EVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN SATURDAY
RESULTING IN A BROAD AREA OF HEAT INDEX VALUES OF AT LEAST 105. THE
SRN TIER OF THE CWFA SHUD SEE HI VALUES AROUND 110 FOR A COUPLE OF
HOURS THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...WILL ISSUE AN EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING FOR THOSE COUNTIES.

ALTHOUGH THE ANTI-CYCLONE REMAINS IN PLACE...AN UPPER TROF MOVES
INTO THE NE AND MID ATLANTIC THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING DAMPENING
THE NRN EXTENT OF THE HIGH. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW SOME WEAK FORCING
TO MOVE OVER OR NEAR THE NRN CWFA. MIXED LAYER INSTABILITY WILL BE
GREATER THAN 2000 J/KG AND COULD BE AS HIGH AS 4000 J/KG....WHILE
DCAPE VALUES WILL BE AS HIGH AS 1500 J/KG. BEST SHEAR WILL BE NORTH
OF THE AREA LIMITING ANY ORGANIZATION...BUT COLD POOL AND OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY INTERACTION COULD CREATE ORGANIZED STORMS IN SMALL AREAS.
EXPECT STORMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE MTNS EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND
MOVE INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT
BUT LARGE HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

CONVECTIVE COVERAGE COULD ACTUALLY INCREASE DURING THE EVENING AS
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS MCS TRACK WILL BE FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE DAMPENING
ANTI-CYCLONE. THIS INCREASE IN COVERAGE WOULD DIMINISH FROM WEST TO
EAST THRU THE LATE EVENING...WITH LINGERING CONVECTION OVER THE EAST
UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. IF THIS DOES DEVELOP...THEN MORE WIDESPREAD
SVR STORMS WOULD OCCUR WITH THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED BY THE MCS.
LOWS AGAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM SUNDAY...UPPER RIDGE FLATTENS OUT AND IS SUPPRESSED TO
THE SOUTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY...ALLOWING INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT AND SLIGHTLY COOLER UPPER LEVEL TEMPS. MONDAY/S FCST LOOKS
SIMILAR TO SUNDAY...AND SHUD BE THE LAST DAY WITH 100 DEG READINGS
ACRS MOST OF THE PIEDMONT. GUIDANCE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON PLENTY OF
UNCAPPED SBCAPE BOTH AFTNS WITH NUMEROUS SOURCES OF LLVL CONVERGENCE
(MTN DIFFERENTIAL HEATING...LEE TROF CONVERGENCE AND LINGERING
OUTFLOW BNDRYS FROM PREV DAY/S CONVECTION). SO TEMPTED TO GO HIGHER
ON POPS BOTH DAYS. THE MAIN QUESTION IS EXACT TIMING. GUIDANCE SEEMS
TO BE DELAYING CONVECTIVE INITIATION SLIGHTLY FROM OUR USUAL EARLY
AFTN...MAXIMIZING DURING THE EVENING HOURS. SHEAR WILL BE WEAK
(0-6KM BULK SHEARS GENERALLY UNDER 20 KTS) THRU THE PERIOD...SO
EXPECTING MAINLY PULSE SHEAR STORMS AND POSSIBLY SOME
LOOSELY-ORGANIZED CLUSTERS. THERE IS A SLGT RISK MONDAY ALONG AND
EAST OF I-85 (ROUGHLY WHERE THE LEE TROF AXIS WILL BE). TUESDAY
LOOKS LESS UNSTABLE WITH MORE MID LVL MOISTURE SHOWING IN FCST
SNDGS. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE MAY BE SIMILAR TO MONDAY...WITH SIMILAR
SEVERE THREAT. TEMPS ON TUESDAY LOOK TO BE ABOUT A CATEGORY OR SO
COOLER THAN MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM SUNDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE LOOKS ON TRACK PER LATEST
GUIDANCE. NO MAJOR CHANGES NEEDED THIS MORNING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS OF 145 PM EDT...THE LONG RANGE PATTERN PROVIDES A RELATIVE RELIEF
TO THE RECENT HIGH TEMPS. HOWEVER...MAXES WILL STILL MAKE INTO THE
LOWER 90S NON/MTNS AS THE UPPER RIDGE TRANSITIONS INTO A BROAD EAST
COAST TROF. LITTLE MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE AS SUBSIDENCE REMAINS
A KEY PLAYER AND WINDS MAINTAIN A STRONG WESTERLY COMPONENT. A
COUPLE RATHER STOUT LOOKING VORT MAXES WILL ROUND THE WRN RIDGE AND
REACH THE FA BOTH WED AND THU AFTERNOONS...WHICH WILL MAXIMIZE THE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL EACH AFTERNOON. POPS WERE THUS ADJ UP A
LITTLE...YET OVERALL A NEAR CLIMO POP REGIME SHOULD BE IN PLACE.
MAINLY LOW END CHANCE ACROSS THE MTNS AND SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE
EACH DAY. WITH THE LLVL W/LY FLOW...MAXES WILL STILL REACH A FEW
CATS ABOVE ABOVE NORMAL WED/THU...M90S NON/MTNS...AND A COUPLE
DEGREES COOLER FRI/SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING COULD
DRIFT NEAR KCLT...BUT HAVE LEFT OUT ANY MENTION FOR NOW.
OTHERWISE...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
THERE WILL BE SOME MTN VALLEY FOG AND PATCHY MVFR FOG AT THE NON TAF
SITES. IN ADDITION...CHANCES OF CONVECTION WILL BE MUCH HIGHER THAN
PREVIOUS DAYS ACROSS ALL THE CWFA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LIGHT
SW TO CALM WIND EARLY THIS MORNING BECOMES LIGHT N TO NE AFTER
DAYBREAK. HIGH BASED CU WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND INCREASE IN
COVERAGE INTO THE EVENING. EXPECT CONVECTIVE INITIATION BY EARLY
AFTERNOON OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WITH STORMS MOVING OFF THE BLUE
RIDGE BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. IN ADDITION...THE MCS
TRACK LOOKS TO BE OVER AT LEAST THE NC PORTION OF THE AREA THIS
EVENING INCREASING CONVECTIVE CHC THERE. THEREFORE...HAVE INCLUDED
PROB30 AT ALL LOCATIONS. WIND THIS AFTERNOON WILL VARY FROM S TO NW
ACROSS THE CWFA WITH MORE SLY COMPONENT OVER SC AND MORE WLY NC.
WINDS GENERALLY SW TO W THIS EVENING.

OUTLOOK...GRADUAL INCREASE IN AIR MASS MOISTURE AND CHANGES IN
STEERING FLOW MAY RESULT IN AN SLIGHT INCREASE IN TSRA POTENTIAL
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. OTHERWISE...HOT AIRMASS WILL LINGER INTO NEXT
WEEK.
