NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 8, 2:09 PM EDT, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 2:09 PM EDT, 1 hour 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
209 PM EDT SUN JUL 8 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WILL SHIFT SOUTHEAST AS A COLD
FRONT DROPS DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. THIS FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE CAROLINAS LATE ON
MONDAY AND WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM EDT...CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO FIRE OFF PRETTY RAPIDLY
OVER MOST OF THE WESTERN NC MTS AND ALONG THE ESCARPMENT. COVERAGE
WILL LIKELY INCREASE AS THE AFTERNOON WEARS ON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
CURRENT VISIBLE SATELLITE IS SHOWING SOME LINGERING
AREAS OF MT VALLEY FOG OVER FAR WESTERN NC. OTHERWISE...MOST SITES
ARE CLEAR WITH A FEW MID CLOUDS STARTING TO MOVE INTO THE NC
PIEDMONT FROM THE EAST. I EXPECT TO SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CUMULUS
EARLIER TODAY COMPARED TO THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS AS CURRENT
SOUNDINGS HAVE LESS OF A MID LVL CAP IN PLACE AND DEWPTS ARE HIGHER
OVERALL. FZ LVLS HAVE ALSO COME DOWN BY ROUGHLY A 1000FT OR SO
COMPARED TO YESTERDAY...SO THE HAIL POTENTIAL IS BETTER AS WELL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM SUNDAY...BROAD UPPER TROF WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SINK
S TUE-WED AS A SHORTWAVE DROPS INTO IT AND HEIGHTS FALL ACROSS THE
REGION WITH WEAK IMPULSES MOVG THRU THE UPPER FLOW. THE ASSOC SFC
COLD FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS THE AREA WITH LIKELY
POPS CWA-WIDE. CONVECTION SHOULD TAPER OFF SOME WITH COOLING BUT
SOLID CHC POPS WILL BE CARRIED OVERNIGHT. WITH THE CLOUD COVER...
SHWRS IN THE AREA AND LOWER THICKNESS...AFTN HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO
BE NEAR OR EVEN A DEG OR TWO BELOW AVG.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM SUNDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW MOST OF THE MEDIUM
RANGE DOMINATED BY A WEAK UPPER TROF AXIS TO THE W WITH A STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND DEEP MOISTURE SETTLED OVER THE AREA. LOWER
THICKNESS VALUES...INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND AT LEAST SCT SHWRS ARE
EXPECTED TO KEEP TEMPS BELOW AVG. LATEST GUIDANCE SHOWS A
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDING W INTO THE REGION ON SUN WHICH WOULD PUT
THE AREA BACK IN THE USUAL DIURNALLY ENHANCED CONVECTIVE PATTERN FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR...BUT WITH TEMPS A CATEGORY OR SO BELOW AVG NEXT
SUN AFTN.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THRU MOST OF THE TAF PERIOD WITH
SOME BRIEF MVFR VISBY THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW AT THE END OF THE
PERIOD FOR TSRA WITH BKN CB. EXACT TIMING/ONSET OF TSRA IS TOUGH TO
CALL...BUT IF ANY CONVECTION DOES GET GOING...IT SHOULD PRODUCE
HEAVY RAIN AND LIGHTING. OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND FROM
THE SW BECOMING MORE NWLY TOMORROW MORNING.

ELSEWHERE...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THRU PERIOD WITH VCTS FOR THE
FIRST 9 HRS OF THE PERIOD AND PROB30 FOR TSRA WITH CB LATER
TOMORROW. FOG POTENTIAL WILL BE HIGHEST OVER KAVL IF THEY GET MUCH
PRECIP.

OUTLOOK...SHRA/TSRA AREA EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS TOWARD MID
WEEK AS THE UPPER RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AND IS REPLACED WITH A TROUGH.
AREAS OF MORNING FOG/STRATUS ARE POSSIBLE...ESP IN THE MTN VALLEYS
AND WHERE RAIN FALLS.
