AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
126 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN AND MOVE SOUTH TODAY. THIS WILL ALLOW
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE OHIO VALLEY TO DROP SOUTH...INTO THE
CAROLINAS EARLY SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL REMAIN OVER OR JUST SOUTH
OF THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND DISSIPATE ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1730 UTC UPDATE...CLOUD COVER AND POPS WERE UPDATED BASED ON
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR RETURNS...AND QPF ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY.
THE MAIN INCREASE IN POPS WAS ALONG THE NORTHERN NC BLUE RIDGE.
WINDS WERE UPDATED WHIT A BLEND OF 12Z NAM AND 06Z ADJMAV.

AT 10 AM EDT THURSDAY...AN UPPER HIGH WAS CENTERED IN THE WESTERN
PLAINS....WHILE AN UPPER TROUGH EXTENDED FROM EASTERN CANADA TO THE
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THE REMAINS OF AN UPPER LOW WERE LOCATED OVER
THE LOWER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. THE MODELS SHOW A WEAK UPPER
IMPULSE MOVING INTO THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH TODAY. A MOIST
UNSTABLE AIR MASS REMAINS OVER OUR AREA...AND CAPE VALUES ARE
EXPECTED TO EXCEED 1000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED
TO GET START AROUND MIDDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH DIFFERENTIAL
HEATING...AND WILL SPREAD TO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT WITH
AFTERNOON HEATING. PULSE TYPE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE...
WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND. WITH WEAK STEERING FLOW...LOCALLY
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. THE HEAT INDEX
WILL APPROACH 100 DEGREE IN THE PIEDMONT...BUT WILL REMAIN BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA OF 105 DEGREES.

TONIGHT...CONVECTION SHOULD DISSIPATE BY MIDNIGHT...LEAVING SLOWLY
DISSIPATING DEBRIS CLOUDS THROUGH THE PRE DAWN HOURS. LIGHT SW WINDS
SHOULD PERSIST OVERNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD FOLLOW
PERSISTENCE...RANGING FROM THE U60S ACROSS THE MTNS TO L70S EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 240 AM THURSDAY...A RATHER STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL DROP ACROSS
THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY. THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
WILL REMAIN UNDER A POSITIVELY TILTED THROUGH THAT EXTENDS BACK TO
LOUISIANA. THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE STRONG PLAINS RIDGE AND THE ERN
CONUS TROUGH WILL RESULT IN 30 KT DEEP LAYER SHEAR ACROSS AR...TN
AND NORTHERN AL/MS. THERE WILL ALSO BE STRONGER DEEP LAYER SHEAR
ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES IN THE CONFLUENT FLOW EAST OF THE
TROUGH ATOP THE BERMUDA HIGH. HERE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND
NE GA THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE WEAKER. HOWEVER...THE MAV
CONDITIONAL PROB OF SEVERE STORMS OVER THE NC/SC FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT IS UP AROUND 35 PERCENT WHICH IS QUITE HIGH FOR THAT
NUMBER...AND ABOUT THE HIGHEST VALUE IN THE COUNTRY ON FRI. SO
DESPITE FORCING THAT WON/T BE AS GOOD AS IN AREAS TO OUR WEST AND
NE...WE SHOULD SEE ABUNDANT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IN THE AFTN AND
EVENING. IT WILL PROBABLY DEVELOP FIRST ACROSS THE MTNS THEN ROLL
EASTWARD ALONG SERIES OF OUTFLOW BNDRYS. I/LL KEEP POPS IN THE
LIKELY CATEGORY AS GOING CATEGORICAL IN JULY IS JUST ASKING FOR
TROUBLE...BUT IT SHOULD BE A BUSY DAY OVER THE REGION. THE SFC DELTA
THETA-E NUMBERS ARE AROUND 20 DEGREES ON THE NAM FOR FRIDAY AND
CLOSER TO 25 DEGREES ON THE GFS. THIS WILL CERTAINLY SUPPORT A
DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH THE STRONGER STORMS AND OUTFLOW BNDRYS ON
FRIDAY.

THE SFC COLD FRONT LOOKS TO DROP INTO THE NC ZONES FRIDAY
NIGHT...THOUGH IT/S LOOKING A LITTLE SLOWER THAN IN PAST RUNS. EVEN
IF THE TRUE SFC FRONT HAS TROUBLE MAKING IT INTO THE FA...EXTENSIVE
OUTFLOW BNDRYS AND CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS SHOULD PUSH AN EFFECTIVE
BNDRY THROUGH THE FA FRI NIGHT. IN FACT...EVEN THOUGH THE MODELS
SHOW GOOD LLVL CONVERGENCE OVER THE FA ON SATURDAY...DIFFERENTIAL
HEATING AND A MORE PRISTINE AIRMASS MAY SETUP SOUTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA...OR AT LEAST ACROSS THE SRN TIER. WE ARE CURRENTLY CARRYING
OUR HIGHEST POPS...IN THE LIKELY RANGE...ACROSS THE SRN HALF OF THE
FA AND THIS LOOKS GOOD. HOWEVER...IF THE DEBRIS CLOUDS AREN/T THAT
BIG OF A FACTOR...THE ENTIRE FA IS LIKELY TO SEE AMPLE CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE WHICH COULD...ONCE AGAIN...LAST A WAYS INTO SAT NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM THURSDAY...THE SUNDAY-MONDAY SCENARIO STILL LOOKS
ABOUT THE SAME AS IT HAS FOR THE PAST COUPLE FORECAST CYCLES. THE
FRONT OVER THE REGION WILL GRADUALLY WASH OUT...THOUGH A TROUGH WILL
REMAIN OVER THE WRN CAROLINAS AND NE GA IN THE FORM OF A WEAKNESS
BETWEEN THE STRONG RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE PLAINS AND THE EQUALLY
STRONG BERMUDA HIGH. THIS SHOULD KEEP HIGHER THAN CLIMO CHANCES OF
CONVECTION OVER THE FA SUNDAY AT LEAST. BY MONDAY THE TROUGH BEGINS
TO DISSIPATE AS THE TWO RIDGES START TO MERGE ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH.
WE STILL DON/T LOOK VERY INHIBITED AND THE CURRENT LOW CHANCE POPS
ON MONDAY LOOK GOOD. NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE TUE-WED TIME
FRAME. THE GFS AND EC DIG ANOTHER FAIRLY STRONG TROUGH ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND DURING THIS TIME. IF THE ASSOCIATED SFC FRONT CAN MAKE IT
THIS FAR SOUTH THERE WILL PROBABLY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY...SOME OF IT
EVEN ORGANIZED. IF THE FRONT STAYS TO THE NORTH...ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
MORE ISOLATED ON THE NRN PERIPHERY OF THE BERMUDA RIDGE WILL HAVE
RETROGRESSED TO THE NRN GULF COAST BY THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...CONVECTION SHOULD HAVE GREATER COVERAGE TODAY AS A WEAK
UPPER IMPULSE MOVES INTO THE AREA. A TEMPO FOR GUSTY WINDS...MVFR
VSBY AND LOW VFR CIG WILL BE CARRIED FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS
AFTERNOON. GUIDANCE AND TRENDS FAVOR MVFR FOG AROUND DAYBREAK
FRIDAY. GUIDANCE SUPPORTS A VFR CIG...BUT SOME SCATTERED VERY LOW
CLOUDS WILL BE CARRIED IN THE TAF. PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR UNTIL AFTER
THIS FORECAST PERIOD.

ELSEWHERE...CONVECTION IS ALREADY FIRING IN THE MOUNTAINS...BUT IS
EXPECTED OT SPREAD INTO THE FOOTHILLS...AND ALL SITES WILL GET A
TEMPO FOR MVFR CONDITIONS IN THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. GUIDANCE
AND RECENT TRENDS FAVOR FOG RETRACTIONS AT DAYBREAK FRIDAY...IFR AT
KAVL...AND MVFR IN THE FOOTHILLS. GUIDANCE FAVORS VFR DAYBREAK CIGS
AT TAF SITES...BUT TRENDS WOULD FAVOR A RESTRICTION AT KAVL...AND AN
IFR CIG WILL BE CARRIED THERE. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO GET GOING
EARLIER ON FRIDAY AS A COLD FRONT ARRIVES...BUT ONLY KAVL WILL HAVE
ENOUGH COVERAGE BEFORE THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD TO CARRY
THUNDER.

OUTLOOK...PRECIPITATION AND ASSOCIATED RESTRICTIONS REMAIN POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. FOG AND STRATUS CHANCE WILL BE GREATEST IN THE
MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE MTN VALLEYS.
