AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
515 PM 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 ON FRIDAY AND REMAIN THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 5 PM...CONVECTION HAS FIRED MAINLY ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A SECONDARY MAXIMUM IN THE GREATER INSTABILITY
ACROSS THE SE PIEDMONT AND MIDLANDS. A MARGINAL MICROBURST AND LARGE
HAIL THREAT PERSISTS IN THE WATCH AREA GIVEN THE MID LEVEL DRY AIR
EVIDENT IN SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE REGION. 55 DBZ CORES REACHING 23 KFT
SHOULD BE INDICATIVE OF APPROXIMATELY QUARTER SIZED HAIL. ALTHOUGH
RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY TAME THUS FAR...THE NC FOOTHILLS
AND PIEDMONT COULD ONCE AGAIN BE AT RISK OF FLASH FLOODING IF THE
CONVECTION HOLDS ITS INTEGRITY MOVING EAST OFF THE BLUE RIDGE
THROUGH MID EVENING.

OVERNIGHT...AN AXIS OF WEAK BOUNDARY LAYER WIND CONVERGENCE COULD
ONCE AGAIN PERSIST ACROSS THE UPSTATE AND THE NC PIEDMONT...BUT TSTM
CONVERAGE SHOULD STEADILY DIMINISH GIVEN THE LESSENING INSTABILTY.
THE WEAK TROUGH AXIS WILL SLIDE A LITTLE TO THE EAST ON WEDNESDAY
AND THE H5 WINDS WILL BE QUITE LIGHT. OVERALL...THIS SHOULD RESULT
IN MUCH LESS CONVECTIVE COVERAGE OVER THE MTNS. THE UPSTATE AND NE
GA WILL SEE THE BEST COVERAGE. I HAVE 40 POPS IN THIS AREA FOR
NOW...BUT IT WOULDN/T SURPRISE ME TO SEE GREATER COVERAGE THAN THIS
ACROSS THE SE ZONES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM TUESDAY...ON THURSDAY...THE CWA WILL REMAIN IN THE
VICINITY OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. AT THE
SFC...A NEARLY WEST TO EAST ORIENTED FRONT WILL SLIP SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS DURING THE AFTERNOON. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE A WEAK H6 INVERSION...WITH SHALLOW DEEP LAYER
LAPSE RATES. CAPE VALUES MAY REMAIN LIMITED TO LESS THAN 1000 J/KG
DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE COMBINATION OF THE CYCLONIC FLOW
ALOFT...WEAK INSTABILITY...AND A SFC BOUNDARY SHOULD SUPPORT CHC
POPS ACROSS THE MTNS RIDGES AND SCHC EAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE U70S WITHIN THE MTN VALLEYS TO L80S EAST.

ON FRIDAY...THE H5 TROF AXIS SHOULD TRACK SE AND HEIGHTS SHOULD RISE
ACROSS THE MTNS DURING THE AFTERNOON. AT THE SFC...HIGH PRESSURE
SHOULD SE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NE GEORGIA THROUGH THE
DAY...RESULTING IN NE LLVL FLOW. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE WARM
MID LEVEL TEMPS...KEEPING CAPE VALUES LESS THAN THURSDAY. GIVEN THE
PATTERN...I WILL KEEP POPS LIMITED TO A SCHC ACROSS THE HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS...OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY REMAIN DRY.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE VERY CLOSE TO NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM TUESDAY...BASED ON HPC DISCUSSION...I WILL FAVOR THE
0Z ECMWF THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. BROAD H5 RIDGING IS FORECAST
TO REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THEN A CLOSED LOW
MAY CUT OFF OVER FL ON MON AND LIFT NORTH INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. AT THE SFC...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD REMAIN RIDGED NE TO SE
ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH MOST OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. BASED ON THIS
PATTERN...I WILL FAVOR A DRY FORECAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS
WEEKEND. I WILL FORECAST INCREASING SCHC TO CHC POPS MON AND TUES
ACROSS THE CWA. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF
NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT KCLT...HAVE RETAINED A TEMPO FOR TSRA FROM 21Z TO 00Z GIVEN THE
UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER THE SC MIDLANDS AND PIEDMONT. SFC WINDS
HAVE BEEN FAIRLY LIGHT AT THE TERMINAL...OCCASIONALLY WSW...BUT
WINDS SHOULD TURN BACK TO SW ON AVERAGE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS
ASIDE FROM ANY CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS. SCT SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS
COULD BE POSSIBLE AFTER 00Z...BUT WITH CONFIDENCE TOO LOW TO
MENTION. LOW CIGS MAY DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT...THOUGH THIS WILL DEPEND
ON HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS THIS EVENING. FOR NOW...WENT WITH BKN020.
WINDS WILL BE SW THROUGH TONIGHT...TURNING LIGHT OUT OF THE NE WED
AFTER SUNRISE.

ELSEWHERE...TSTMS CHANCES REMAIN HIGH FROM KAVL TO KHKY...WITH MORE
SCT ACTIVITY AT THE UPSTATE TAF SITES THROUGH THE EVENING. LOW CIGS
AND SOME FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN TONIGHT...BUT THIS WILL DEPEND
ON HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS THIS AFTN. HAVE GENERALLY SHIED AWAY FROM
CARRYING ANYTHING RESTRICTIVE OVERNIGHT FOR NOW.

OUTLOOK...EXPECT ISOLD LATE DAY SHOWERS AND TSTMS THRU LATE WEEK.
MRNG FOG PSBL...ESPLY MTN VALLEYS AND NEAR LAKES/RIVERS.
