AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
157 PM EDT THU MAY 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROF OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM
THE NORTH AND REMAIN THROUGH MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE
AREA FROM THE WEST ON TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1105 AM...MESOSCALE MODELS AND AN IMPROVED SATELLITE
PRESENTATION INDICATE THAT THE UPPER LOW DOWN ACROSS THE MIDLANDS
AND NE GA HAS BECOME A LITTLE STRONGER THIS MORNING. THE NAM HAS A
GOOD UPPER DIVERGENCE MAX DOWN ACROSS THE MIDLANDS THIS AFTN. THE
NAM ALSO HAS SB-CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 1000-2000 J/KG OVER A GOOD BIT
OF THE FA THIS AFTN. THEREFORE...I/VE RAISED POPS INTO THE CHANCE
CATEGORY ACROSS MOST OF THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS WHERE INCREASING ESE
UPSLOPE FLOW WILL POOL MOISTURE AND PROVIDE SUFFICIENT ASCENT FOR
CONVECTION. POPS HAVE ALSO BEEN RAISED INTO THE CHANCE RANGE ACROSS
THE SE TIER OF COUNTIES WHERE THE BACK EDGE OF DEFORMATION ZONE
ENHANCED PCPN WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTN. POPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INCREASED
WELL INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS...TO MATCH A PERIOD OF INCREASED
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SEEN ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE ON THE NAM AND THE
HRRR.

AS OF 0650 AM...ENOUGH MOISTURE AND LOW LVL CONVERGENCE REMAIN OVER
THE FAR S CWA TO MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR A COUPLE MORE HOURS
AND CURRENT GRIDDED FIELDS HAVE THIS COVERED. MAINLY TWEAKED HOURLY
TEMP/DP/RH WITH LATEST TRENDS FOR THIS UPDATE.

WEAK UPPER TROF WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA THIS MRNG WITH A CLOSED
UPPER LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE MIDLANDS THIS AFTN-TONIGHT. LOOKS LIKE
THIS SHOULD STILL PUT THE CWA UNDER WEAK NVA ALOFT. AT THE SAME TIME
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO PUSH IN FROM THE NE. IT STILL
APPEARS THAT MAINLY THE MTNS AND ADJACENT FOOTHILLS WILL SEE LLVL
MOISTURE POOLING...WITH A SLIGHT CHC OF SHWRS/TSTMS THIS AFTN...BUT
NEWER NAM RUN INDICATES SOME MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE 850MB LOW
SO ISOLD CONVECTION COULD FAN OUT ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AS WELL...
MAINLY OUR W AND S SECTIONS. TEMPS WILL WARM TO ABOVE AVG BY MID
DAY. THE UPPER LOW WILL TRACK SLOWLY E TOWARD THE COAST TONIGHT. THE
NAM CONTINUES TO WRAP MOISTURE AROUND THE LOW LVL CIRCULATION WHILE
THE GFS KEEPS AREA DRY. DECIDED TO LEAN TOWARD THE DRYER GFS WHICH
IS SUPPORTED BY THE ECMWF. MRNG LOWS WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVG.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 320 AM THURSDAY...AN INTERESTING PATTERN IS SHAPING UP FOR THE
SHORT RANGE. THE PERSISTENT AND BROAD UPPER TROF WILL LINGER OVER
THE SE/RN CONUS WHILE A FAIRLY STRONG RIDGE BUILDS AND MOVES EAST
ATOP THE TROF ACROSS THE HIGHER LATITUDES. THE TROF AXIS WILL
GENERALLY MOVE SLOWLY EAST AND PROBABLY EVOLVE INTO A WEAK BUT
NOTICEABLE CUTOFF LOW. THE TROF IS THEN EXPECTED TO RETROGRADE BY
LATE SUN. FOR THE SENSIBLE CWFA WX HOWEVER...THE LLVL WINDS WILL
REMAIN NE/LY TO E/LY AS THE UPPER RIDGE DOMINATES AND WEDGES A 1024
MB HIGH DOWN THE EAST COAST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A RATHER STABLE AND
DRY ATMOS OUTSIDE THE HIGHER TERRAIN BOTH FRI AND SAT. BUFR
SOUNDINGS SHOW VERY WEAK  SFC/BASED INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
MOISTURE FLUX ACROSS THE NC MTNS. THE H85 FLOW BRINGS IN MODEST
AMOUNTS OF ATL MOISTURE TO THE MTNS BY FRI AFTERNOON AND THIS SHOULD
BE ENOUGH TO DEVELOP ISOL/SCT -SHRA/TSTMS FRI AFTERNOON AND MOST
LIKELY LESS COVERAGE AND SAT AFTERNOON. THE MTN TSTMS THAT MAY
DEVELOP WILL BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN AND RELATIVELY WEAK PULSE TYPE. A
GOOD INSOLATION ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED BOTH DAYS...SO MAX TEMPS
SHOULD REACH A CAT OR SO ABOVE NORMAL EACH AFTERNOON. GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOL CONDS ARE EXPECTED TOO...SO MINS SHOULD HAVE NO
PROBLEM DROPPING TO NEAR NORMAL...IF NOT A COUPLE DEGREES F BELOW
NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM THURSDAY...NO CHANGES WERE NEEDED TO THE EXT RANGE. THE
UPPER PATTERN HAS THE DOMINANT NRN RIDGE KEEPING THINGS MAINLY DRY
THROUGH SUN WITH AN ADVANCING MOISTURE SUPPLY FROM THE EAST EARLY
MON AS THE UPPER LOW RETROGRADES. THIS LOW IS THEN EXPECTED TO BE
ABSORBED BY THE WESTERLIES...BEFORE ANOTHER L/W TROF MOVES TOWARD
THE MS VALLEY MON NIGHT AND THUS MAINTAINS A MEAN AND BROAD UPPER
LEVEL TROF OVER THE SE CONUS THROUGH THE PERIOD. A COLD FRONT AHEAD
OF THE INCOMING TROF WILL SLOW DOWN AND BECOME STATIONARY MOST LIKELY
JUST SOUTH OF THE CWFA LATE TUE. WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS AND FAIRLY
HIGH TD/S EXPECTED THIS FRONT WILL INSTIGATE A DECENT CHANCE
SHRA/TSTMS MON THROUGH WED. THE GOING GRIDS HAVE THIS SCENARIO WELL
IN HAND WITH THE CHANCE POPS AND WARM TEMPS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE ABOUT 15 MILES
SOUTH OF THE AIRFIELD...THEN DRIFT SOUTH FROM THERE...OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE HOURS. HOWEVER...THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME MORE UNSTABLE BY
LATE AFTN. MOST OF THE SHORT RANGE MODELS WANT TO DEVELOP TSTMS
AROUND THE AIRFIELD STARTING IN A COUPLE HOURS AND THE NNE TO SSW
ORIENTED BANDS OF CU ACROSS THE REGION WILL LIKELY START TO DEEPEN
INTO CB/S WITH TIME. I/VE HELD ON TO VCSH TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS...BUT
A PERIOD OF TEMPO TSRA WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE ADDED ONCE
DEVELOPMENT STARTS TO OCCUR FARTHER NORTH.

WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE NE THIS AFTN...THOUGH OUTFLOW BNDRYS
MAY PLAY HAVOC WITH THE WINDS AT TIMES. MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT SURGES THROUGH THE REGION. THE
CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR OUT BEFORE SUNRISE HOWEVER.

ELSEWHERE...MUCH LIKE AT KCLT...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME MORE
UNSTABLE OVER THE UPSTATE...AND TSTMS WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO DEVELOP
ON OUTFLOW BNDRYS FROM STORMS EAST OF THE REGION NOW. THIS PROCESS
WILL TAKE A COUPLE HOURS. VCHS IS IN THE TAFS NOW...BUT A PERIOD OF
TEMPO GROUPS IS A GOOD BET ONCE THE NEW CELLS BEGIN TO FIRE.
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING JUST ISN/T HIGH ENUF TO TEMPO YET. KAVL IS MORE
STABLE...BUT SHRA MAY CONTINUE THERE FOR A GOOD BIT OF THE NIGHT.

WINDS OVER THE UPSTATE WILL GENERALLY BE OUT OF THE EAST THE REST OF
THE AFTN...TURNING NE LATE TONIGHT AS A BACK DOOR FRONT SURGES
THROUGH. A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS IS EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THE FRONT.

OUTLOOK...EXPECT ISOLD LATE DAY SHOWERS AND TSTMS IN THE MTNS FRI
AFTN....THEN DRYING OVER THE WEEKEND. MRNG FOG WILL BE PSBL...ESP
MTN VALLEYS AND NEAR LAKES/RIVERS.
