AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
202 PM EDT WED AUG 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL LINGER ALONG THE COAST INTO THURSDAY THEN
DISSIPATE.  A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION FROM THE NORTH FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY...USHERING IN DRIER WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 155 PM...NUMEROUS COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS OCCURRING ALONG
WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY THAT ROUGHLY
PARALLELS I-85 FROM THE GREENVILLE/SPARTANBURG AREA TO THE WESTERN
NC PIEDMONT. A FEW OF THESE CELLS HAVE BECOME SURPRISINGLY TALL...
BUT NO SEVERE STORMS HAVE APPARENTLY OCCURRED YET...AND IT APPEARS A
55 DBZ CORE TO AT LEAST 26 KFT WILL BE NECESSARY FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
THEREFORE...THIS THREAT REMAINS LOW. THE PRIMARY CONCERN WILL
CONTINUE TO BE HEAVY RAIN...AS CELL MERGERS AND GENERALLY SLOW
MOVING CELLS COULD LEAD TO SOME FLASH FLOODING...MAINLY OVER URBAN
AREAS ALONG THE I-85 CORRIDOR. POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO 60-70
PERCENT ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON.

AS OF 1035 AM...AN AREA OF SHOWERS WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
HAS BEEN BLOSSOMING OVER NORTHEAST GEORGIA AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST NC
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. THIS IS LIKELY THE RESULT OF AN AREA
OF UPPER DIVERGENCE DOWNSTREAM OF THE OHIO VALLEY UPPER LOW...
ASSISTED BY S/SW LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW. IT APPEARS THAT THESE
FACTORS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF LIFT THROUGH THE
DAY...AND 60-70 POPS WILL BE FOCUSED IN THESE AND SURROUNDING
AREAS...ALLOWING FOR SOME EASTWARD MOVEMENT. WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS
COVER THE AREA THIS MORNING...TOPPED BY A PERSISTENT CIRRUS SHIELD
THAT COVERS ALL BUT THE SOUTHERN/SOUTHEAST TIER OF ZONES. WITH THAT
IN MIND...IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WE/RE GOING TO SEE MUCH IN THE WAY
OF INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON. THE ONLY EXCEPTION MAY BE IN THE
AFOREMENTIONED AREAS WHERE THE CIRRUS IS NOT AS DENSE. IF THE LOW
CLOUDS CAN BURN OFF QUICKLY ENOUGH...A LITTLE SUN/HEATING MAY RESULT
IN MODERATE INSTABILITY...WHICH WOULD LIKELY SUPPORT SOLID COVERAGE
OF CONVECTION IN LIGHT OF THE EXTREMELY MOIST ENVIRONMENT. THUS
FAR...RAINFALL RATES HAVE NOT BEEN ESPECIALLY HIGH...AND WITHOUT
SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL DESTABILIZATION...THIS MAY NOT CHANGE MUCH.
HOWEVER...UPSLOPE FLOW MAY SUPPORT AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF RELATIVELY
HEAVY RAINFALL...AND POSSIBLY SOME HYDRO CONCERNS ACROSS NORTHEAST
GA/SOUTHWEST NC.

AS OF DAYBREAK...AN AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO LIFT SLOWLY N ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...WITH
A FEW MORE SHOWERS DEVELOPING IN THE UPSLOPE FLOW OVER UPSTATE SC.
IF ALL GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN...THE SHOWERS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN
NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH MID MORNING. IT WOULD APPEAR AS IF THE
ATMOSPHERE FINALLY GOT THE MEMO SENT BY THE MODEL GUIDANCE IN THAT
UPPER FORCING ACTING ON DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD RESULT IN PRECIP
DEVELOPMENT...UNLIKE THE LAST TWO DAYS THAT WERE LARGELY PRECIP-FREE
IN SPITE OF MODEL GUIDANCE THAT SUGGESTED OTHERWISE. THE OPERATIONAL
MODELS SHOW THAT UPPER DIVERGENCE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE
DAY. LOW LEVEL SE TO S UPSLOPE FLOW WILL PROVIDE LOW LEVEL FORCING
BUT SHOULD VEER MORE SW LATE IN THE DAY. THAT SHOULD IN THEORY KEEP
DECENT SHOWER COVERAGE OVER AT LEAST THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS...SO THE
HIGHEST POP WILL BE CONCENTRATED THERE...WITH A CHANCE ELSEWHERE
OVER THE PIEDMONT. PW REMAINS HIGH AND STORM MOTION SHOULD BE
SLOW...WHICH SUGGESTS A CONTINUED FLASH FLOOD THREAT...BUT
CONFIDENCE IN THE LOCATION OF THE MOST RAIN IS WAY TOO LOW TO
CONTEMPLATE A WATCH. TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW NORMAL OWING TO
PRECIP COVERAGE AND EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS. THE SHOWERS AND STORMS
SHOULD LINGER INTO THE EVENING BEFORE TAPERING OFF DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS ON THURSDAY. AN 850MB TROF WILL CROSS THE REGION AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND VEER THE FLOW AROUND TO A LESS FAVORABLE W DIRECTION.
TEMPS WILL REMAIN MILD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 AM WEDNESDAY...MODELS HAVE TRENDED A BIT FASTER WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE POSITIVELY-TILTED UPR TROF ON THURSDAY...PLACING THE
CWFA ON THE NVA SIDE OF THE SYSTEM BY PEAK HEATING. IN ADDITION TO
THAT...LLVL FLOW WILL BACK TO MORE OF A WLY DIRECTION...WITH PWATS
FALLING TO LESS THAN 100% OF NORMAL ACRS THE ENTIRE CWFA...EXCEPT
FOR ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE WHERE SOME CONVERGENCE WILL OCCUR. STILL
SHUD SEE AT LEAST SCT CONVECTION HOWEVER...AS SBCAPE OF 1000-2000
J/KG ARE EXPECTED. THE 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR WILL REMAIN WEAK (20-25 KTS
AT MOST ACRS NC ZONES)...BUT SOME MID LVL DRY AIR WITH DECENT INSTBY
WILL PRODUCE A SMALL SEVERE TSTM THREAT. TEMPS WILL BE ABLE TO PUSH
INTO THE MID 80S EAST OF THE MTNS THANKS TO SOME DOWNSLOPE AND MORE
SUNSHINE THAN WE HAVE SEEN IN MANY DAYS.

THURSDAY NIGHT THRU FRIDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROF WILL DIVE
INTO THE GREAT LAKES TO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES...PUSHING A COLD
FRONT THRU THE OH VLY AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. GUIDANCE KEEPS THE
BETTER INSTBY TO OUR NORTH ON FRIDAY...BUT STILL EXPECT AT LEAST
ISOLD TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHWRS/TSTMS. TEMPS WILL BE THE WARMEST WE
HAVE HAD IN OVER A WEEK...NEAR LATE AUGUST NORMALS. MIN TEMPS WILL
BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 315 AM WEDNESDAY...MODELS STILL IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON A
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT PUSHING THRU THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...USHERING IN DRY CONTINENTAL AIR MASS...AS SFC HIGH PRES
BUILDS INTO THE GREAT LAKES. SOME POPS LINGER ON SATURDAY...BEFORE A
BETTER PUSH OF LLVL DRY AIR WORKS IN ON SUNDAY. TEMPS WILL BE BELOW
NORMAL UNDER THE HIGH...BUT MODERATE TO NEAR NORMAL EARLY NEXT
WEEK...AS THE HIGH SETTLES OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT/KGMU/KGSP...CONVECTION HAS BEEN ALL AROUND THE TERMINALS SO
FAR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT NO DIRECT HIT AS OF YET. NEVERTHELESS...
CONVECTION WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY FOR THE NEXT 2-4 HOURS...AND
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNSTABLE AIR SOUTHWEST OF THE TERMINAL
WILL IS  LIKELY. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE A TEMPO FOR 2SM/TSRA
THROUGH 21Z OR 22Z...WITH SHOWERS THEREAFTER. CONVECTION SHOULD
BEGIN TO WIND DOWN THIS EVENING...BUT CAN/T RULE OUT AN ADDITIONAL
TS OR TWO THROUGH MID-EVENING...ESP NEAR KCLT. DEVELOPING W/SW FLOW
LATE TONIGHT IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN LOWER CHANCES OF LOW CIGS THAN
WE/VE SEEN RECENTLY. HOWEVER... WITH RAIN FALLING THIS PM NEAR THE
TERMINALS...CANNOT AT ALL RULE OUT FOG/LOW STRATUS BY DAYBREAK.

ELSEWHERE...CONVECTION WAS MOVING AWAY FROM KAND AND KAVL AS OF
1745Z. CONSIDERING THE STABLE AIR NEAR KAVL...I/M QUITE CONFIDENT
THAT TS WILL STAY AWAY FROM THE TERMINAL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON...AND HAVE OMITTED ANYTHING OTHER THAN SHRA FROM THE TAF.
AT KAND...I/M NOT AS CONFIDENT...AS THE AIR MASS TO THE SW IS STILL
FAIRLY UNSTABLE...SO A TEMPO FOR TSRA WILL BE CARRIED BTW 19 AND
21Z. MEANWHILE...CONVECTION NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTHEAST TOWARD KHKY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. INSTABILITY
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW THIS ACTIVITY TO HOLD TOGETHER...AND A
TEMPO FOR TSRA WILL BE CARRIED AFTER 20Z. DEVELOPING W/SW FLOW LATE
TONIGHT IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN LOWER CHANCES OF LOW CIGS THAN
WE/VE SEEN RECENTLY. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE THE EXPECTATION OF
FOG/LOW STRATUS IN THE MTN VALLEYS. HOWEVER...WITH RAIN FALLING THIS
PM NEAR THE TERMINALS...CANNOT AT ALL RULE OUT FOG/LOW STRATUS BY
DAYBREAK AT THE OTHER TERMINALS.

OUTLOOK...A DRIER PATTERN IS EXPECTED FOR LATE WEEK...AS HIGH
PRESSURE GRADUALLY BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH. LINGERING MOISTURE MAY
RESULT IN MORNING RESTRICTIONS IN LOW CLOUDS AND FOG...MAINLY IN THE
MTN VALLEYS...AND WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. CHANCES FOR CONVECTION AND AM RESTRICTIONS MAY DIMINISH
OVER THE WEEKEND.
