AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
419 PM EDT THU JUN 6 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL STORM ANDREA WILL LIFT UP THE SOUTHEAST COAST TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY...AS A WEAK COLD FRONT SLOWLY CROSSES THE AREA. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THESE SYSTEMS OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH
ANOTHER COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 420 PM EDT...TROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SURGE NORTHWARD IN
RESPONSE TO TRACK ON TROPICAL STORM ANDREA.  SCATTERED CONVECTION
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE UPSTATE AND THE PIEDMONT OF NC WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE EVENING.  FURTHER TO THE SOUTH...GSP RADAR SHOWING INITIAL
WAVE OF PRECIP SHIELD ASSOCIATED WITH ANDREA.  STILL EXPECTING
CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE AS OVERALL COVERAGE INCREASES LATER THIS
EVENING.  THUS...ADJUSTED POPS AND TEMPS IN THE NEAR TERM TO REFLECT
ONGOING ACTIVITY.  OTHERWISE...NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE
MADE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

AS OF 240PM...TROPICAL AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND 70
OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAINS AND PW'S 1.5 TO 2 INCHES. TS ANDREA IS STILL
FORECAST BY NHC TO MOVE NE THROUGH GA/SC COASTAL PLANES AND THEN
INTO EASTERN NC BY FRI AFTERNOON. A LARGE RAIN SHIELD ASSOCIATED
WITH THE STORM IS FORECAST TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA TONIGHT. THE
HEAVIEST RAIN IS STILL EXPECTED TO OCCUR GENERALLY EAST OF I-26
WITH THE I-77 CORRIDOR RECEIVING THE MOST. THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH
IS WELL PLACED AND PLAN NO ADJUSTMENTS TO IT. USING A MODEL BLEND
FOR QPF YIELDED IN THE RANGE OF 1.-2.5 INCHES OVER THE EASTERN
UPSTATE THROUGH THE I-77 CORRIDOR. THERE CERTAINLY COULD BE SOME
HYDRO ISSUES IN THE CHARLOTTE METRO AREA LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY
FRIDAY. LOOKS LIKE THE PRECIP CHARACTER SHOULD MOSTLY BE RAIN OR
RAIN SHOWERS...WITH JUST SOME SCATTERED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS.

THE GFS/ECM HAVE SIMILAR FORECASTS SO HAVE LEANED HEAVILY ON THE 12Z
GFS SOLUTION FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST FIELDS. THE EXCEPTION WAS THE
QPF WHERE A I USED A MODEL BLEND WHICH DIALED BACK THE GFS QPF
SOMEWHAT. THE RAIN SHIELD ASSOCIATED WITH ANDREA WILL MOVE QUICKLY
OUT OF THE PICTURE FRIDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...GUIDANCE IS CONSISTENT
WITH ADVERTISING SCT SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH THE BULK OF THE DAY AS
DEEP MOISTURE LINGERS. MIN TEMPS WILL BE WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TONIGHT
IN THE TROPICAL AIRMASS...WITH MAX TEMPS REACH NEAR NORMAL VALUES ON
FRI AS EXPECT SOME BREAKS IN CLOUDS WILL OCCUR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM THURSDAY...GUIDANCE SHOWING A WIDE VARIANCE IN FCST
SOLUTIONS FOR THE SHORT RANGE. GFS TAKES A SHORT WAVE CURRENTLY NEAR
THE ARKLATEX REGION AND STRENGTHENS IT AS IT MOVES NE ACROSS THE WRN
CWFA FRI NITE. AN ASSOCIATED SFC WAVE DEVELOPS AND TRACKS ACROSS THE
WRN CWFA AS WELL...CREATING A SWATH OF HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE MTNS
FRI NITE. THE REST OF THE GUIDANCE WEAKENS THE WAVE AS IT MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA WITH A WEAK...IF ANY...SFC FEATURE. DO BRING CHC POP
BACK IN FRI NITE AS THERE IS LINGERING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
ALONG WITH WEAK FORCING. ALTHOUGH THE GUIDANCE AGREES ON SWLY FLOW
ALOFT ON SAT...THE NAM/SREF BRING WEAK SHORT WAVES OVER THE AREA
ALONG WITH QUITE A BIT OF UPPER DIVERGENCE WITH A JET STREAK. THE
GFS AND ECMWF ARE SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER WITH NO DIVERGENCE OR JET
STREAK. SINCE THERE WILL BE LINGERING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY...
WILL BRING CHC POP BACK IN FOR SAT AFTERNOON WITH A DIURNAL TREND
DURING THE EVENING. ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVES MOVE THRU THE SWLY FLOW
SUNDAY AS AN UPPER TROF MOVES INTO THE UPPER MID WEST. THIS SHOULD
HELP STRENGTHEN THE SLY LOW LEVEL FLOW KEEPING MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA. SHOULD BE ANOTHER DAY WITH SCT AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPS SHUD BE NEAR TO A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL THRU THE
PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...GUIDANCE GENERALLY AGREES ON AN UPPER TROF
CROSSING THE OH VALLEY MON AND MOVING SLOWLY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC
TUE. A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES THEN CROSS THE AREA WED AND THU IN THE
DEVELOPING TROF OVER THE EAST COAST. AT THE SFC...SLY FLOW INCREASES
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MON KEEPING PRECIP CHC OVER THE AREA. THE
FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA TUE THEN EAST OF THE AREA WED FINALLY
BRINGING A BREAK TO HIGHER PRECIP CHANCES. ANOTHER SFC LOW AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVES EAST THU. HOWEVER...THE GFS BRINGS THE
LOW OVER OUR CWFA WHILE THE OLD ECMWF KEEPS IT NEAR THE GREAT LAKES.
EITHER WAY...PRECIP CHC INCREASES AGAIN ON THU. TEMPERATURES REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD...BUT DO DROP A FEW DEGREES THU.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...DIFFICULT FORECAST BECAUSE CONDITIONS WILL VARY
CONSIDERABLY. ACTUALLY VFR CIGS LOOK TO BE PREDOMINATE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AS SFC HEATING ALLOWING CLOUD BASES TO LIFT.
HOWEVER...RADAR SHOWS SCT-NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS WHICH HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO KNOCK CIGS/VSBY TO TEMPO IFR. TROPICAL RAIN SHIELD
ASSOCIATED WITH TS ANDREA WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT
WHICH WILL LOWER CIGS/VSBY TO LIFR IN HEAVY RAIN. CONDITIONS IMPROVE
AFTER 12Z AS STORM MOVES AWAY TO THE NE.

ELSEWHERE...VARIABLE CIGS/VSBY FROM VFR TO IFR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AS WAVES OF RAIN SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH. EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS TO LOCK
IN OVERNIGHT AS WIDESPREAD RAIN ARRIVES ASSOCIATED WITH TS ANDREA.
CONDITIONS IMPROVE AFTER 12Z.

OUTLOOK...DRIER CONDITIONS WILL SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE CAROLINAS IN THE
IN THE WAKE OF ANDREA THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER...AFTERNOON HEATING WILL
TRIGGER AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUDNERSTORMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS. A COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE
LATE MONDAY ASSOCIATED WITH MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS.
