AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
245 PM EDT FRI AUG 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY.
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH INTO THE AREA LATE THIS WEEKEND.
A SECOND COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE REGION DURING THE
MID WEEK. DEEP MOISTURE MAY LINGER OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN
REGION UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EDT...COVERAGE HAS ONCE AGAIN FILLED IN RAPIDLY THIS
AFTN IN THE MOST UPSLOPE PREFERRED LOCATIONS OF THE SW CWFA. GIVEN
THE DUAL POL RADAR RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR...THE
RECENT RAINFALL IN THIS AREA...AND THE APPARENT TRAINING SETTING
UP...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH BEEN POSTED FOR THE MOST PRONE LOCATIONS
THROUGH THIS EVENING.

OTHERWISE...A SURFACE COLD FRONT REMAINS DRAPED ALONG THE OH VALLEY
THIS AFTN...WITH FLAT RIDGING ALOFT IN PLACE FARTHER SOUTH. UPPER
SUPPORT WILL BE HARD TO FIND LATE THIS AFTN THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT
THE AFORE MENTIONED UPSLOPE...ADDITIONAL WESTERLY UPSLOPE NEAR THE
SPINE OF THE SRN APPALACHIANS AND VERY LOW LFC HEIGHTS WILL ALLOW
COVERAGE TO INCREASE AND EXPAND EASTWARD. THE SPC STORM SCALE
ENSEMBLE OF OPPORTUNITY DEPICTS THE BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE MTNS
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON...WITH A SECONDARY MAXIMA EXTENDING OUT
ACROSS THE NC FOOTHILLS INTO THE PIEDMONT TOWARD EVENING. WILL LEAN
THE POP FORECAST IN THIS DIRECTION.

WEAK H5 VORT LOBES RIDING NE OVER THE SHALLOW SE RIDGE WILL BRUSH
THE NRN TIER OF THE FORECAST AREA LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SAT...WITH
WESTERLY FLOW IMPROVING VERY SLIGHTLY THROUGH SAT AFTN. LOW LEVEL
WINDS SHOULD REMAIN MORE SW EAST OF THE MTNS TO CREATE A CONVERGENCE
REGION ALONG THE ERN SLOPES. COVERAGE SHOULD BE A BIT BETTER SAT
THAN TODAY AS STEERING WINDS INCREASE SLIGHTLY. IN ADDITION...THE
COLD FRONT WILL SAG SE TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA AND ALLOW ALREADY
HIGH PWAT VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES TO POOL FURTHER ACROSS THE AREA.
ANOTHER FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY NEED TO START ON SAT AFTN...BUT WILL
JUST ADDRESS THE ONGOING WATCH AT THIS POINT AND LEAVE ANY LATER
POSTING TO LATER FORECASTS. LAPSE RATES MAY ALSO IMPROVE JUST ENOUGH
ON SAT ALONG WITH THE IMPROVING FLOW TO CREATE A SLIGHTLY BETTER
CHANCE OF WET MICROBURSTS OR ISOLD MULTI CELL SEVERE. WILL CONTINUE
TO LEAN TOWARD BIAS CORRECTED GUIDANCE ON TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EDT FRIDAY...BY SATURDAY EVENING...CONTINUED WEST
SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN ENHANCING UPSLOPE FLOW
INDUCED CONVECTION...AND MODEST INSTABILITY ACROSS THE PIEDMONT
REGION WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES ELEVATED INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
MEANWHILE...APPROACHING EAST/WEST ORIENTED COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS
KY/VA WILL CONTINUE MIGRATING TO THE SOUTH AND ENTER THE NORTHERN
ZONES BY AROUND NOON SUNDAY.  AS AMPLE MOISTURE THROUGH THE COLUMN
REMAINS IN PLACE...WEAK CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.  CARRIED
LIKELY POPS ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NC...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER SOLID
CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEARING 150
PERCENT OF NORMAL WILL PRESENT SOME THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL.  THIS
COMBINED WITH WEAK STEERING FLOW COULD LEAD TO INCREASED THREATS
FOR ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
FOOTHILLS/MOUNTAINS WERE UPSLOPE FLOW WILL ENHANCE CONVECTION.  AS
THE FRONT SLOWLY MIGRATES SOUTHWARD INTO SUNDAY EVENING...SCATTERED
CONVECTION WILL FOLLOW.  BULK SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 20-25KTS ALONG
THE BOUNDARY WILL PROVIDE SOME SUPPORT FOR ORGANIZATION.
THEREFORE...SOME THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS COULD
REACH SEVERE LIMITS AS THE BOUNDARY PUSHES FURTHER INTO AREAS THAT
WILL HAVE RECEIVED ADDITIONAL HEATING...THUS GREATER INSTABILITY.
AS HEATING FADES BEYOND SUNSET...EXPECTING COVERAGE TO SLOWLY
DIMINISH OUTSIDE OF AREAS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE FRONT...WHICH
WILL PERSIST UNTIL AROUND DAYBREAK ON MONDAY.  TEMPERATURES ON
SUNDAY WILL REMAIN AT OR NEAR NORMAL FOR AREAS ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE ADVANCING FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
ELSEWHERE.

AS FOR MONDAY...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL HAVE MOVED INTO THE
MIDLANDS/LOWCOUNTRY BY LATE MORNING ALLOWING FOR SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR
TO BRIEFLY SETTLE IN ACROSS THE REGION.  HOWEVER THAT WONT LAST LONG
AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE FL GULF COAST WILL ADVECT WARM MOIST
AIR INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. MODEL GUIDANCE
SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH REGARDS TO SHOWERS AND OR
THUNDERSTORMS INITIATING ALONG THE SOUTHWARD FACING SLOPES OF THE
HIGH TERRAIN AS UPSLOPE FLOW REORGANIZES.  THUS...CARRIED HIGH END
CHANCE POPS ALONG THE MOUNTAINS WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER CHANCE POPS
ACROSS NORTHEAST GA...THE UPSTATE OF SC...AND THE NC PIEDMONT WHERE
ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE THERMODYNAMICALLY DEPENDENT.  TEMPERATURES ON
MONDAY WILL BE BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS BEING 8-10 DEGREES COOLER
THAN PREVIOUS DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM FRIDAY...MODELS AGREE THAT THE PATTERN FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED. THE COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE
AREA THIS WEEKEND WILL STALL OUT OVER THE CWA MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...BEFORE SLOWLY DRIFTING SOUTHWARD TUESDAY NIGHT. A LARGE
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AND BOTH
THE EC AND GFS HAVE THE HIGH PUSHING A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH
ON WEDNESDAY TRIGGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY AND
OVERNIGHT. THE FRONTAL PASSAGE IS ALSO MARKED BY THE PASSAGE OF AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...FURTHER INCREASING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY. BY THURSDAY...NORTHWESTERLY FLOW TRANSPORTS
DRIER AIR TOWARDS THE CWA...BUT ALL AREAS EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS
REMAIN QUITE MOIST...ONLY ALLOWING FOR A SLIGHT DECREASE IN POPS.
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE APPEARS TO SWING THROUGH FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY WHILE THE CWA COMES UNDER INCREASING INFLUENCE BY THE
BERMUDA HIGH...SO FEATURE AT LEAST CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE END OF
THE EXTENDED. THE PERIOD STARTS WITH HIGHS SLIGHTLY BELOW
AVERAGE...DECREASING TO AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE BY THE END
OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...WEAK CONVECTION DEVELOPING IN THE VICINITY HAS YET TO
PRODUCE MUCH LIGHTNING...BUT CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS ARE
DEPICTING BETTER COVERAGE DEVELOPING AROUND THE AIRFIELD BY 20Z.
HAVE THUS MOVED TEMPO TSRA TIMING UP A BIT TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
ANTICIPATE A FAIRLY RAPID END TO CONVECTION THIS EVENING...WITH
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS UNLESS
TREMENDOUS RAIN FALLS ON THE AIRFIELD. SHOULD SEE MORNING MVFR LEVEL
CUMULUS DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN...WITH SHOWER COVERAGE STEADILY FILLING
IN FROM THE WEST TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY
THUNDER UNTIL AFTER 18Z.

ELSEWHERE...THE BEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE HAS FIRED IN THE UPSLOPE
PREFERRED LOCATIONS THIS AFTN. EXPANDING COVERAGE SHOULD PROVIDE
TEMPO TSRA COVERAGE MAINLY DURING 19Z TO 23Z...IF NOT SOONER.
ANTICIPATE A QUICK END TO THE CONVECTION AGAIN THIS EVENING.
ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY DEVELOP WEST OF THE MTNS
OVERNIGHT BUT SHOULD STAY N AND W OF KAVL TO KHKY THROUGH SAT
MORNING. EXPECT A RETURN OF MVFR LEVEL CIGS EARLY SAT...WITH BRIEF
IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE MAINLY KAVL TO KHKY AROUND DAYBREAK. WILL
ONLY MENTION VCSH FOR THE END OF THE TAF CYCLE...BUT ADDITIONAL
THUNDER IS EXPECTED TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD THROUGH SAT
AFTN. EXPECT STEADY SW FLOW THROUGHOUT...EXCEPT MORE VARIABLE AT
KAVL AND NEAR ANY TSTMS.

OUTLOOK...DEEP MOISTURE AND HIGH COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SWD INTO THE REGION. THE
BOUNDARY MAY LINGER IN THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...YIELDING
DIURNAL SCT TSTMS AND OVERNIGHT RESTRICTIONS.
