NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 2, 2:57 PM EDT, 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 2:57 PM EDT, 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
257 PM EDT SUN JUN 2 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY INTO THE REGION TONIGHT INTO MONDAY
AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTH
ON TUESDAY...BUT WITH MOISTURE GRADUALLY RETURNING OVER THE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE MID TO LATE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM EDT...A COMBINATION OF IMPROVING UPPER
FORCING...FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE SRLY FLOW...AND A VERY MOIST
AIRMASS ARE LEADING TO HIGH COVERAGE OF SHRA AND TSTMS ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTN. IN ADDITION...DIFFERENTIAL HEATING
BOUNDARIES UPSTREAM OVER GA TODAY HAVE LED TO FURTHER ACTIVITY. THIS
WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS...AND POSSIBLY STRENGTHEN
OVERNIGHT AS THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHARPENS UP SLIGHTLY
WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS AND BACKS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW. THE FIRST
FOOTHILL BAND OF CONVECTION THIS AFTN SHOULD MOVE EAST OF INTERSTATE
77 BY EARLY EVENING...BUT THE DEVELOPING APPALACHIAN BAND WILL
TRANSIT THE REGION THROUGH THE NIGHTIME HOURS. HEAVY RAIN REMAINS
THE PRIMARY THREAT SINCE WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS ARE NOT VERY LOW AND
CAPE IS LIMITED. HOWEVER...IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PLACE ANY FLASH
FLOOD WATCHES GIVEN THE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD AND SHARED COVERAGE...AS
WELL AS THE RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS FROM THE PAST WEEK.
THE APPROACHING TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY
ALONG WITH DECENT UPPER DIVERGENCE. MOISTURE MAY WELL PERSIST ACROSS
THE REGION AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY GETS HUNG UP OR WASHES OUT. LOW
LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME MORE OF A WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE ON MONDAY...BUT
WITH A SHEAR AXIS OUT OVER INTERSTATE 77 WHERE THE BEST CHC OF
STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA WILL BE THROUGH MONDAY AFTN. WILL CONTINUE TO
FEATURE A RELATIVELY LOW DIURNAL TEMP TREND THROUGH THE PERIOD.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM SUNDAY...PRECIP SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY MON NIGHT AS
THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS MOVES OFFSHORE AND THE SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVES
EAST OF THE AREA. DRY HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES
REGION WILL THEN RIDGE INTO THE FORECAST AREA BEHIND THE DEPARTING
FRONT THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS
WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR..OR A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL IN PERSISTENT
NE FLOW. THE FLOW BECOMES EASTERLY BY TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE SURFACE
RIDGE OF HIGH WEAKENS AND SHIFT EAST. FOR WEDNESDAY...THE HIGH WILL
SLIDE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WITH ITS SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDING
INTO THE REGION. CONTINUED EASTERLY FLOW WILL LEAD TO JUICY
CONDITIONS WITH PW VALUES REACHING NEAR 1.5 INCHES BY WED NIGHT.
MODEL SOUNDING INDICATES THAT CAPPING INVERSION WILL WEAKEN AND
SURFACE TO 700 MB LAYER WILL BECOME SATURATED. IN
ADDITION...RELATIVELY WEAK SBCAPE OF 300-500 J/KG WILL BE PRESENT.
HENCE...CAN NOT RULE OUT SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION AND POPS HAVE BEEN REFLECTED ACCORDINGLY. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE AROUND 2-3 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ON WEDNESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF NOON SUNDAY...AS WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD...USED MODEL BLEND OF GFS AND ECMWF WITH MORE WEIGHT GIVEN TO
THE EC.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...UPPER LEVEL PATTERN DURING
START OF THE PERIOD WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED BY A RATHER LOW AMPLITUDE
TROF PUSHING ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
WILL EXTEND ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...AND EVENTUALLY MOVE
EASTWARD LATER IN THE WEEK AS THE TROF EJECTS TO THE NORTHEAST.
MEANWHILE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS...PROXIMITY TO A BUILDING TROPICAL
FEATURE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL YIELD SOUTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL
FLOW. THUS...EXPECTING INCREASES IN MOISTURE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS
MARINE AIRMASS SPREADS ACROSS THE REGION. NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE
WAY OF FORCING ALOFT...THEREFORE WENT WITH SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS
THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAINLY ON A DIURNAL HEATING TYPE PATTERN.
WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT POPS DURING THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO
NEXT WEEKEND COULD CHANGE AS THEY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON TROPICAL
FORMATION...WHICH IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE REGION WILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE
EXTENDED RANGE.
WITH RESPECT TO THE TROPICAL SYSTEM...THERE IS BROAD MODEL
DISCONTINUITY REGARDING THE OVERALL TRACK AND INTENSITY. THE GFS
SEEMS TO TREND WITH A WEAKER SYSTEM TRACKING THROUGH THE GULF MOVING
NORTHEAST THROUGH NORTHCENTRAL FLORIDA...THEN WEAKENING FURTHER AS
ITS REMNANTS CROSS OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC WHERE IT DISSIPATES. THE
ECMWF TAKES THE SAME TRACK THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING BUT KEEPS A MUCH
MORE ORGANIZED TROPICAL CYCLONE MOVING OFF SHORE NEAR SAVANNAH
GEORGIA...AND BRUSHING THE ATLANTIC COASTLINE NORTHWARD TOWARDS THE
OUTER BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE EJECTING OUT TO SEA WITH THE
UPPER TROF.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...THE CONVECTIVE LINE TRAVERSING THE UPSTATE THIS AFTN IS
WEAKENING SOMEWHAT OVER THE ERN UPSTATE BUT SHOULD HOLD TOGETHER
ENOUGH FOR TEMPO TSRA AT KCLT MAINLY 20Z TO 00Z. ANOTHER ROUND OF
ACTIVITY MAY CROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE LATER EVENING HOURS WITH
THE LINE DEVELOPING OVER THE APPALACHIANS. WITH ALL THE PRECIP...A
PERIOD OF IFR CIGS/VSBY WILL CERTAINLY BE POSSIBLE...BUT WILL
FEATURE ONLY MVFR UNTIL 11Z FOR NOW WITH SLOW IMPROVEMENT THROUGH
LATE MONDAY MORNING. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN SW AWAY FROM ANY TSTMS WITH
THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT STAYING WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE
PERIOD.
ELSEWHERE...COVERAGE SHOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD IN THE
VERY MOIST AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. WILL NEED AT
LEAST ONE ROUND OF TEMPO TO FM TSRA AT ALL TAF SITES...AND POSSIBLY
MORE THAN ONE ROUND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CIGS SHOULD BE
SOLIDLY MVFR THROUGHOUT AS CONVECTION INCREASES...WITH FAIRLY
WIDESPREAD IFR AT TIMES OVERNIGHT GIVEN ALL THE RAINFALL. EXPECT SW
WINDS THROUGHOUT AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS...EXCEPT BECOMING NW AT
KAVL THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. ADDITIONAL TSTMS MAY FIRE OFF THE BLUE
RIDGE ON MONDAY...BUT THESE WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TIME AT PRESENT.
OUTLOOK...BRIEF DRYING UNDER HIGH PRES IS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUE BEFORE MOISTURE RETURNS QUICKLY OVER THE SFC HIGH MID TO LATE
WEEK.
