AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
727 AM EDT TUE MAY 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD AND SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN
FROM THE NORTH FRIDAY AND REMAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 0650 AM...LOWERED POPS TO BETTER FIT CURRENT TRENDS HOLDING ON
TO JUST A SLIGHT CHC EARLY THIS MRNG. REST OF FCST IN GOOD SHAPE
EARLY THIS MRNG.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...A SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL PASS THROUGH
THE MEAN UPPER TROF TO THE W AND OVER THE CWA AGAIN TODAY. DEEP
MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA AND AFTER A CLOUDY MRNG THERE SHOULD
BE ENOUGH BREAKS IN THE SKY COVER FOR TEMPS TO WARM TO NEAR AVG THIS
AFTN. EXPECT POPS TO RAMP UP TO SLIGHT CHC FAIRLY QUICKLY OVER THE
MTNS THIS MRNG WITH A SOLID CHC ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THIS
AFTN-EVE. CAPE VALUES OF 1000-2000 J/KG ARE EXPECTED WITH BULK SHEAR
AROUND 30KT. PWATS REMAIN ABOVE AVG AND LOW LVL LAPSE RATES WILL
INCREASE. NOT ONLY IS THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SVR STORMS AGAIN
THIS AFTN-EVE...ESP THE E ZONES...BUT A FLASH FLOOD THREAT AS WELL.
SINCE IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL
WILL BE WE WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE HYDRO THREAT IN THE HWO
AND ISSUE A SHORT-FUSED FLOOD WATCH LATER TODAY IF NEEDED.
CONVECTION SHOULD TAPER OFF WITH COOLING LATER THIS EVE BUT WE HELD
ON TO A SLIGHT CHC OF SHWRS OVERNIGHT. MRNG LOWS WILL BE ABOVE AVG.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 315 AM TUESDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO BROADEN AND MOVE
EAST ACROSS THE CWFA WED WHILE A WEAK LLVL BOUNDARY PERSISTS ACROSS
REGION. A GOOD AMOUNT OF VORT ENERGY WILL CROSS OVERHEAD ABOUT THE
TIME THE LLVLS BECOME RATHER UNSTABLE IN GOOD AFTERNOON HEATING. A
RESPECTABLE SBCAPE OF 1.5K J/KG NON/MTNS AND 2.2K J/KG MTNS IS NOTED
WHILE BULK SHEAR REMAINS FAIRLY LOW. HOWEVER...THE LOW DEEP LAYERED
SHEAR DID NOT PREVENT THE FORMATION OF TORNADOES YESTERDAY ACROSS
THE CAROLINAS AS THE UPPER FORCING AND DEEP CAPE WERE STRONG ENOUGH
TO PRODUCE VERY STRONG AND LONG LIVED UPDRAFTS. SO...WED SHOULD SEE
SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON PRODUCING
LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING WINDS. A WEAK TORNADO OR TWO IS NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION EITHER. THERE IS LITTLE STORM POTENTIAL AFTER
SUNSET AS THE UPPER TROF AXIS MAKES IT SOUTHEAST OF THE CWFA BY 03Z.
HIGHS AND LOWS WILL BE ABOUT A CAT ABOVE NORMAL.

ON THURSDAY...THE CWFA WILL REMAIN IN A BROAD CYCLONIC TROF...WITH
THE BEST FORCING OFF TO THE EAST. A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE
MTNS BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON...AND A DECENT AMOUNT OF SBCAPE WILL BE
REALIZED WITH TD POOLING. ALONG WITH GOOD SFC CONV...THE MTNS WILL
BE THE PRIME SPOT FOR ANY TSTMS. THERE WILL BE DISTINCT POCKET OF
DNVA PUSHING INTO THE MTNS AROUND 18Z...SO THE POTENTIAL FOR A MID
LEVEL WARM LAYER EXISTS...WHICH WOULD KEEP ALL BUT THE STRONGEST
UPDRAFTS CAPPED. POPS WERE BUMPED A LITTLE TO CHANCE ACROSS THE
RIDGETOPS AND MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCES ELSEWHERE. MAX/MIN TEMPS
AGAIN WILL BE A CAT OR SO ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 320 AM TUESDAY...NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXT RANGE FCST.
STILL A GOOD BET THE UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO DEVELOP FRI AND CROSS
EAST OVER THE EAST COAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT MON. THE
SFC PATTERN IS SHOWING A WELL MAINTAINED HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE THROUGH
THE PERIOD. THE E/LY FLOW WILL HELP KEEP TEMPS AND TD/S DOWN A BIT
AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDER OUTSIDE THE
MTNS. HOWEVER...WITH THE MECH LIFT THE MTNS SHOULD EXPERIENCE ISOL
DIURNAL SHOWERS EACH AFTERNOON WITH A LOW CHANCE OF THUNDER. THE
SOUNDINGS INDICATE A STRONG SUB INVERSION DEVELOPING AROUND H6 LATE
FRI AND LOWERING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ANY LLVL CONVECTION SHOULD
HAVE A HARD TIME BECOMING VERY DEEP. SOME MEASURE OF A CP AIRMASS
MIX WILL OCCUR FRI...MAINLY NORTH...BUT THE OVERALL DEEP RIDGING
WILL ALLOW FOR VERY GOOD INSOLATION AND MAX TEMPS ABOUT 1 TO 2 CATS
ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...SIMILAR SCENARIO TO YESTERDAY. IFR CIGS SHOULD LIFT TO
MVFR BY 15Z WITH MIXING...THEN LOW VFR BY 16Z...PSBLY SOONER. COULD
SEE BREAKS IN THE AFTN WHICH WILL AID HEATING. EXPECT SCT TSTMS AFT
18Z WHICH IS TOO LOW A CHC TO MENTION IN TAF ATTM...BUT DID INCLUDE
VCSH. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT SW.

ELSEWHERE...SIMILAR TO KCLT ACROSS PIEDMONT. DUE TO BETTER CHC TS
OVER MTNS...AT KAVL...DID INCLUDE VCTS AND CB CLOUDS 18-00Z. ALSO
EXPECT IFR AT KAVL...KHKY AND KAND EARLY WED MRNG.

OUTLOOK...ANOTHER ROUND OF IFR RESTRICTIONS ARE LIKELY EARLY WED
BEFORE SOME DRYING WED AFTN. MAINLY VFR THEN. EXPECT ISOLD LATE
DAY...MAINLY MTN...SHOWERS AND TSTMS THRU LATE WEEK. MRNG FOG
PSBL...ESPLY MTN VALLEYS AND NEAR LAKES/RIVERS.
