NEDWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 5, 3:18 PM EDT, 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 3:18 PM EDT, 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 318 PM EDT THU APR 5 2012 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LOW WILL MERGE WITH A DEPARTING TROUGH AS IT MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST ON FRIDAY. COOL AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER OUR REGION INTO SATURDAY AND WEAKEN. AN UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO SET UP OVER THE EAST NEXT WEEK WHICH COULD LEAD TO COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... CONVECTION DEVELOPED NEARLY ON SCHEDULE...BUT MAYBE A TAD EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. WATCH ALREADY IN PLACE ACROSS MOST OF THE WRN CWFA LOOKS WELL PLACED. STRONG INSOLATION OCCURRED IN THIS AREA WITH POOLING DEW POINTS ALONG THE STALLED FRONT. THIS LEAD TO MODERATE INSTABILITY ACROSS THIS AREA AS EXPECTED. VERY HIGH DCAPE VALUES AND WET BULB ZERO LEVELS ARE IN PLACE AS WELL DUE TO THE VERY DRY MID LEVELS SEEN ON THE 12Z FFC RAOB. THE WATCH INCLUDES MUCH OF THE CLT METRO AREA EVEN THO THEY ARE NORTH OF THE FRONT. THE SFC BASED AND MIXED LAYER CAPE IS LOW OVER THAT AREA...BUT MODERATE MUCAPE IS ANALYZED DUE TO STEEP LAPSE RATES. THEY ARE ALSO ON THE EDGE OF THE HIGHER DCAPE VALUES AS WELL. THE CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS SHUD SLIDE EAST ACROSS THE PIEDMONT EVEN WITH LESS THAN IDEAL CONDITIONS. EXPECT WIDESPREAD TSRA TO DEVELOP AND TREK EASTWARD OVER NE GA AND THE UPSTATE AS WELL THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE PRECIP SHUD BECOME LESS DEEPLY CONVECTIVE LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS INSTABILITY WEAKENS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW. HAVE KEPT THE CHARACTER OF PRECIP AS SHRA FOR SIMPLICITY ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE MORE STRATIFORM...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWFA. FORCING WILL BE QUITE STRONG AS QG COUPLET MOVES ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW. THIS WILL BE COMBINED WITH GOOD LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AS A SFC LOW FORMS ALONG THE FRONT AND AN H85 LOW MOVES IN AS WELL. UPPER DIVERGENCE INCREASES AHEAD OF A JET MAX MOVING IN AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW. ALL THIS SHOULD COMBINE WITH DEEP MOISTURE FOR A PERIOD OF WIDESPREAD SHRA OR RA LATE THIS EVENING OR OVERNIGHT. THE PRECIP BEGINS TO DIMINISH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AND WEST TO EAST AS THE FORCING MOVES OUT OF THE AREA. CANNOT RULE OUT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY OVER AREAS WHERE TSRA MOVE THRU THIS AFTERNOON AND RAINFALL LINGERS THRU THE EVENING. ANY LINGERING PRECIP QUICKLY TAPERS OFF FRI MORNING AS THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. CLOUDS WILL SCATTER OUT FOR MOST AREAS DURING THE AFTERNOON....BUT COULD LINGER ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE THRU THE DAY IN WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW. HIGHS WILL BE QUITE A BIT COOLER AS THICKNESSES FALL IN THE COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS MOVING IN...ENDING UP AS MUCH AS 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 2 PM EDT THURSDAY...THE SHORT TERM FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON SATURDAY WITH THE STEEP UPPER RIDGE AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS AND A BROAD UPPER TROF LINGERING OVER NEW ENGLAND. AS THE UPPER RIDGE DRIFTS TOWARDS THE CAROLINAS IT WILL DEAMPLIFY SO THAT BY THE END OF THE PERIOD LATE SUNDAY WE ARE UNDER NEARLY ZONAL NWLY H5 FLOW. ON SATURDAY...DRY AND COOL HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL BRING US THE COOLEST TEMPERATURES WE HAVE HAD IN A WHILE. LOWS EARLY SATURDAY MORNING WILL LIKELY DROP DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NC WITH LOWER 30S IN SOME OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. WINDS WILL ALSO BE LIGHT...SO THERE IS GOOD POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY FROST. RH VALUES DROP BELOW 30% FOR ABOUT 4 TO 6 HOURS DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING PERIOD...HOWEVER WEAKER WINDS SHOULD SUPPRESS FIRE DANGER POTENTIAL. ON SUNDAY...SOME SORT OF WEAK BNDY WILL MOVE THRU THE CWFA DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT THIS WILL HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON THE SENSIBLE WX. TEMPS WILL WARM BACK INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S AS THICKNESSES INCREASE. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 2 PM THURSDAY...NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST WITH THINGS STAYING IN LINE WITH HPC GUIDANCE. REFER TO PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... AS OF 130 AM THURSDAY...ON SUNDAY THE WEAK UPPER RIDGE WILL BE BREAKING DOWN. WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND THICKNESS VALUES ON THE WARM SIDE...EXPECT HIGHS IN THE 70S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. STARTING THE WEEK...EXPECT AN UPPER TROUGH TO DEVELOP OVER THE EAST. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE A CLOSED OFF LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES AT 12Z MONDAY AS IT SLIDES EAST OR SOUTHEAST. THE ECMWF HAS A DEEPER TROUGH AS WE PROGRESS INTO THE MID WEEK. LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CONSENSUS OF SHOWERS OVER THE NC MOUNTAINS WILL BE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A GOOD PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND GRADUALLY DECREASES ON TUESDAY AND I HAVE INCREASED THE WIND IN THIS PERIOD AS THIS GRADIENT CERTAINLY SUPPORTS IT. THE ECMWF HAS AN UPPER CLOSED OFF LOW OVER THE CAROLINAS AND VIRGINIA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE GFS HAS THE TROUGH TRYING TO PULL OFF THE EAST COAST BY THAT TIME. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE NEAR NORMAL ON MONDAY...BUT AS THE TROFINESS SETS UP FOR DAYS 6 AND 7 THE TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL BY THAT TIME. LOWS IN THE 30S FOR THE NC MOUNTAINS IN MID WEEK. && .AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AT KCLT...NE WINDS...OCNL DUE E...WILL CONTINUE THRU THE PERIOD AS THE AIR FIELD REMAINS NORTH OF THE SFC FNT. CONVECTION LOOKS MORE LIKELY EVEN WITH THE COOLER DRIER AIR IN PLACE AS ELEVATED INSTABILITY REMAINS QUITE HIGH. DID NOT INCLUDE IN THE TAF ATTM... BUT WILL LIKELY NEED TO AMD AS CELLS DEVELOP AND MOVE TOWARD THE SITE. BEST CHC WILL BE LATE AFTERNOON. AS THE SCENARIO TRANSITIONS TO MORE OF A RAIN EVENT THIS EVENING...VSBY AND CIGS WILL BEGIN TO LOWER...POSSIBLY TO IFR. VSBY IMPROVES TOWARD DAYBREAK AS RAIN MOVES OUT...BUT AT LEAST MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE THRU NOON BEFORE CLOUDS BEGIN TO SCATTER OUT AND LIFT. WINDS COULD BE GUSTY AT ANY TIME... BUT MOST LIKELY FROM DAYBREAK THRU NOON WHEN BEST MIXING OCCURS. ELSEWHERE...KHKY WILL BE SIMILAR TO KCLT THRU THE PERIOD. THE WRN SITES HAVE CONVECTION NEARBY OR ONGOING...SO TS ALREADY IN TAFS. THAT SAID...A SIMILAR TREND WILL DEVELOP AS THE FRONT SAGS SOUTHWARD THIS EVENING AND SCENARIO TRANSITIONS TO MORE OF A RAIN EVENT. MVFR VSBY AND CIGS...POSSIBLY IFR CIGS...EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AS WELL WITH ONLY SLOWLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS FRI MORN. WINDS BECOME NE WITH TIME AND DEVELOP GUSTS TOWARD MORNING. OUTLOOK...A DRY HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BUILD IN BY FRI AFTERNOON AND DOMINATE THE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
