AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
210 PM EDT THU APR 26 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTH RESULTING IN
UNSETTLED WEATHER. THIS COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
STATIONARY FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS OUR AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
THE FRONT WILL MOVE OFF TO THE SOUTH ON SUNDAY AS A CANADIAN HIGH
BUILDS OVER THE REGION. THEN THE HIGH WILL LINGER THROUGH THE EARLY
PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM...ELEVATED CONVECTION ALREADY FIRING ALONG A LINGERING
BOUNDARY. ONE CLUSTER ENTERING THE CENTRAL NC MTNS...AND ANOTHER
ENTERING THE SOUTHERN CHARLOTTE METRO AREA. THERE IS ENUF INSTBY FOR
STORMS TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL...BUT WIND THREAT PROBABLY SUBDUED DUE
TO THE COOL BL.

MEANWHILE...ATMOS CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE ACRS KY/TN AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. GUIDANCE IS MIXED ON HOW QUICKLY WE CAN
DEVELOP SBCAPE AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AWAY FROM THE BNDRY THIS
AFTN. I HAVE POPS GRADUALLY RAMPING UP FROM WEST TO EAST...PEAKING
EARLY EVENING THEN DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT.

THE SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE SHOWS EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 40-50 KTS WITH
MUCAPES 2000-3000+ J/KG ACRS KY/TN. AND THE RUC PROGS THIS
ENVIRONMENT TO PROPAGATE INTO THE AREA. THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW THE
BL WILL EVOLVE. THE LATEST FCST SNDGS SHOW SLOW EROSION OF COLD POOL
AND 100+ J/KG OF SBCIN. THE NEW DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK HAS THE
MTNS AND UPPER SAVANNAH VALLEY IN A SLIGHT...BUT NOT TO THE EAST.
HIGH RES MODELS DO NOT SHOW AS MUCH ORGANIZATION WITH THIS
AFTN/EVENINGS CONVECTION. SO HAIL MAY REMAIN THE MAIN THREAT...WITH
SOME WIND THREAT IN THE MTNS.

TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL OVERNIGHT UNDER THE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS.

FRIDAY...MODELS CONTINUE THEIR TREND OF A MORE SOUTHERN PUSH OF THE
COLD FRONT. THEY ALSO AGREE ON DECENT INSTBY ALONG/SOUTH OF THE
BNDRY AS IT STARTS TO LIFT NORTH AS A WARM FRONT DURING THE AFTN.
TOOK A MODEL BLEND FOR POPS. THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE NE GA AND UPSTATE
ZONES. SPC DAY 2 OUTLOOK HAS A SEE TEXT 5% FOR THOSE AREAS. SHEAR
WILL BE WEAKER...BUT ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL RIPPLE THRU QUASI-ZONAL
FLOW DURING PEAK HEATING...WITH FCST SNDGS SHOWING LESS CIN THAN
TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 205 PM THURSDAY...A WEAK UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. FRI NIGHT-SAT...THEN WEAKENS SLIGHTLY SAT NIGHT
BEFORE CONTINUING TO BUILD OVER THE AREA SUN. THE SFC BOUNDARY WILL
PUSH N AS A WARM FRONT FRI NIGHT-EARLY SAT WITH BEST FORCING N OF
THE CWA. WE KEPT SLIGHT CHC POPS OVER MAINLY THE MTNS AND N ZONES
THRU SAT. AS A SFC RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NE WITH SE
SFC FLOW SETTING UP. UPSLOPE FORCING SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN
SLIGHT CHC POPS THRU THE DAY SUN...MAINLY OVER THE MTNS. EXPECT
TEMPS ABOVE AVG SAT AND SUN WITH COLDER AIR PUSHING IN FROM THE NE
DURING THE DAY SUN TO KEEP TEMPS BELOW AVG IN THE FAR NE CWA IN THE
AFTN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 205 PM THURSDAY...HEIGHTS RISE SUN NIGHT-MON AS UPPER TROF
MOVES OFF THE NE COAST AND UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE SE US. COLD
AIR DAMMING CONTINUES TO DEVELOP SUN NIGHT AND SETTLES OVER THE AREA
MON. STILL EXPECT ENOUGH LOW LVL MOISTURE AND FORCING FOR SLIGHT CHC
POPS ACROSS THE AREA. WEDGE WEAKENS TUE AND SFC BOUNDARY MOVES N OF
THE AREA AND STAYS N THRU THE PERIOD. THIS PUTS CWA BACK IN THE WARM
SECTOR SO WITH MOIST S FLOW DEVELOPING WE HELD ON TO MENTION OF
SLIGHT CHC OF MAINLY AFTN SHWRS AND TSTMS TUE-WED DEVELOPING MOIST
SLY FLOW AND DIURNAL INSTABILITY. TEMPS WILL BE BELOW AVG MON...THEN
BACK ABOVE AVG TUE-THU.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...MAIN CONCERN NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WILL BE A SMALL LINE OF
CONVECTION TRACKING SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL. NOT EXPECTING A DIRECT
IMPACT ATTM...BUT THE SUBTLE BNDRY THIS ACTIVITY IS FIRING ALONG IS
SLOWLY DRIFTING NWD. SO ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST MAY
AFFECT KCLT. OTHERWISE...EXPECT VFR WITH GUSTY SW WINDS THIS AFTN
AFTN. THERE MAY BE ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION THIS EVENING...AS A
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THRU THE AREA OVERNIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW
THIS TIME...BUT MOST LIKELY TIME OF IMPACT SHUD BE IN THE 00Z TO 06Z
TIME FRAME. WINDS WIL SHIFT NW BEHIND THE FRONT...THEN NE FRIDAY
MORNING AND REMAIN LIGHT. DEBRIS CLOUDINESS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
CONVECTION SHUD BE VFR.

ELSEWHERE...A CLUSTER OF STORMS ARE MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL NC MTNS
ATTM...AND WILL BE VCTS AT KAVL FOR NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. CONVECTION
MAY START TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTN ACRS THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA...SO VCTS WILL BE CARRIED. ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE REGION LATE THIS AFTN THRU THE EVENING...AS A
COLD FRONT PUSHES THRU FROM THE NORTHWEST. CONVECTION SHUD WANE
AFTER 06Z AND WINDS WILL SHIFT TO N/NW BEHIND THE FRONT. DEBRIS
CLOUDINESS SHUD BE VFR.

OUTLOOK...A COLD FRONT WILL LINGER INVOF THE FORECAST AREA THRU
FRIDAY NIGHT. MAINLY PM SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AND MORE WIDESPREAD
RESTRICTIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE FRI AFTN AND OVERNIGHT. THE FRONT
LIFTS NORTH SATURDAY...BUT THEN DROPS BACK IN SUNDAY. SO PERIODS OF
RESTRICTIONS IN CLOUDS/PRECIP EXPECTED THRU THE WEEKEND.
