AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
529 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG AND DEEP LAYERED HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE WELL
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER THE COUPLE OF DAYS. SOME RELIEF WILL
BEGIN BY MID WEEK...HOWEVER ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST
INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
2130 UTC UPDATE...POPS AND QPF HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO ACCOUNT FOR
CONVECTION MOVING TOWARD THE KCLT METRO AREA FROM THE NW...AND
ACTIVITY MOVING FROM THE NC MOUNTAINS TOWARD THE SC UPSTATE.

AT 205 PM...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 445 HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED FOR
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. NEVERTHELESS...THE CONVECTIVE PICTURE IS
STILL QUITE MESSY FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE FOCI FOR CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE TYPICAL TERRAIN EFFECTS...REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
MOVING ACROSS THE NC PIEDMONT...AND SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH (ALTHOUGH
THIS IS EXPECTED TO MAINLY BE A FACTOR FOR AREAS TO OUR SOUTH AND
EAST). DEWPOINTS HAVE MIXED OUT IN THE IMMEDIATE LEE...WHICH HAS
RESULTED IN THE MOST IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY BEING DISPLACED TO OUR
EAST. NEVERTHELESS...MOST OF THE AREA IS MODERATELY TO STRONGLY
UNSTABLE...AND CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TO FIRE IN ASSOCIATION
WITH AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES. CELLS THAT DEVELOP IN THIS ENVIRONMENT
WILL BE CAPABLE OF BECOMING RAPIDLY SEVERE...WITH BRIEF/MARGINALLY
STRONG HAIL BEING A THREAT...BUT THE PRIMARY THREAT BEING DAMAGING
MICROBURSTS...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE VERY STRONG OWING TO HOT/DRY
BOUNDARY LAYER/DCAPE 1500-1800 J/KG. COVERAGE IS STILL EXPECTED TO
BE LIMITED...BUT WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH VERY CLOSELY FOR UPSCALE
DEVELOPMENT INTO SMALL/INTENSE MULTICELL CLUSTERS...WHICH WOULD POSE
MORE OF A WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND THREAT.

WITH THE LATE/SLOW START TO INITIATION...SCATTERED CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING IN MANY AREAS. IN ADDITION...
THE UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY OVERNIGHT...AS WEAK
SHORT WAVE TROUGHS/ MCV/S CONTINUE TO DROP TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC
FROM THE OHIO VALLEY REGION. THEREFORE...WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE
ON CURRENT MIDWESTERN CONVECTION PUSHING TOWARD THE AREA EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WILL BE CARRIED
OVERNIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS THE NC ZONES. WITH THE RIDGE BREAKING DOWN
SOMEWHAT...AND THE ASSOCIATED ENHANCED MCV POTENTIAL...NOT TO
MENTION ANOTHER DAY OF VERY UNSTABLE AIR...COVERAGE OF CONVECTION
SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY BETTER TOMORROW...ESP ACROSS THE NC ZONES. 30-40
POPS WILL BE CARRIED FOR MOST OF THE AREA. IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
AS HOT TOMORROW...DUE TO SLIGHTLY LOWER THICKNESS VALUES. ALTHOUGH
HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA MAY BE REACHED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
PIEDMONT...IT DOESNT APPEAR AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IS NECESSARY
ATTM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 225 PM SUNDAY...THE CENTER OF THE H590 RIDGE WILL REMAIN
CENTERED OVER THE FL PANHANDLE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE SHIFT IN
THE RIDGE WILL PLACE THE FORECAST AREA IN WEAK NW FLOW ALOFT. THE
NAM...GFS...AND ECMWF INDICATE THAT CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON TUESDAY. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS FROM THE GFS INDICATE THAT MID LEVEL TEMPS MAY WARM
SLIGHTLY FROM TODAY AND MONDAY...RESULTING IN SHALLOWER LAPSE RATES.
I WILL FORECAST CHC POPS OVER THE MTNS DURING THE EARLY
AFTERNOON...THEN CHC POPS EXPANDING EAST OF THE MTNS DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HIGHS ARE FORECAST TO REACH WELL INTO
THE U90S EAST OF THE MTNS...BUT LIKELY BREAKING OUR CURRENT STREAK
OF 100 OR GREATER. RECORD TEMPS MAY BE TIED OR BROKEN.

ON INDEPENDENCE DAY...MODELS INDICATE THAT A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
WILL RIPPLE TOWARD THE CWA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND PROVIDE SOME MID
LEVEL SUPPORT. IN ADDITION...A LEE TROF SHOULD DEVELOP DURING THE
AFTERNOON...AIDING IN LLVL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. GIVEN THESE
FEATURES AND DIURNAL INSTABILITY IT APPEARS THAT COVERAGE WILL BE A
LITTLE GREATER ON THE 4TH. I WILL FORECAST 50 POPS OVER THE RIDGES
AND 30S EAST. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE FROM AROUND 90 WITHIN THE
MTN VALLEYS TO MID TO U90S EAST...LIKELY SHORT OF RECORDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM SUNDAY...DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT AND CONFIDENCE IS HAD
IN THE EXT RANGE FCST. THE 00Z ECMWF IS A BIT OF AN OUTLIER WITH A
BROAD UPPER RIDGE DOMINATING THE SE CONUS WX...WHILE THE 12Z GFS/CMC
ALLOW FOR MORE DEEP LAYERED MERIDIONAL FLOW AND THUS A MORE ACTIVE
MCS TRACK SCENARIO THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. THERE WILL BE AMPLE
LLVL MOISTURE SUPPLIED BY THE H85 HIGH FLOW RETURNING EAST OUT OF THE
GULF AND A FAIRLY DEFINITIVE LEE SIDE TROF FOR A FOCUSING REGION OF
MOISTURE AND AFTERNOON CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON. ALONG WITH THE
PROBABLE NOCTURNAL MCS ACTIVITY...THE EXT RANGE SHOULD BE A BIT
ABOVE NORMAL CONVECTIVELY WITH STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING
EACH DAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A STAGNANT SFC-H5 AIRMASS ON THU
AND PW/S AROUND 1.7 INCHES. NO LLVL JET WILL BE IN THE
VICINITY...YET STILL THE THREAT MAY BE THERE FOR PERSISTENT HEAVY
PRECIP AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. MAX TEMPS WILL STILL BE HOT AS THE
LLVL FLOW MAINTAINS A COMPONENT OF DOWNSLOPE WARMING IN A GENERAL
LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE PATTERN. MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE IN THE L/M90S
NON/MTNS AND U80S MTN VALLEYS EACH DAY. MIN TEMPS WILL ALSO REMAIN A
COUPLE CATS ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...THE CONVECTIVE PICTURE FOR THIS AFTERNOON IS
STILL QUITE MUDDY...AS MIXED SIGNALS ABOUND PER THE CONVECTIVE
THREAT. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY APPROACHING KCLT FROM THE NORTH AT 17Z
IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR THE FIRST CELLS OVER OUR
AREA...AND A TEMPO FOR TS HAS BEEN INTRODUCED AT 21Z. IT SHOULD BE
NOTED THAT VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY CELLS THAT
DEVELOP NEAR THE AIRFIELD. OTHERWISE... SCATTERED CELLS SHOULD GET
GOING OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...THEN
MOVE OUT INTO THE FOOTHILLS DURING LATE AFTERNOON...AND VCTS WILL BE
CARRIED AT ALL OTHER TERMINALS. SCATTERED CONVECTION MAY LINGER INTO
THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NC
PIEDMONT/FHILLS...AS WEAK UPPER AIR DISTURBANCES MOVE OVER THE AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST. OTHER THAN THE POTENTIAL FOR REDUCED VISBY IN
THUNDERSTORMS...CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...GRADUAL INCREASE IN AIR MASS MOISTURE AND CHANGES IN
STEERING FLOW MAY RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN TSRA POTENTIAL THROUGH
THE WEEK.

.FIRE WEATHER...
TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
HIGHER THAN SATURDAY. THIS SHOULD STILL PRODUCE AFTERNOON RH VALUES

SWRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT FOR STEPHENS
THROUGH ELBERT COUNTIES CONTINUES FOR THIS AFTN/EARLY EVENING.
