AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
157 AM EDT SAT JUL 27 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES AND A COLD FRONT
PASS THROUGH. CONDITIONS LOOK TO IMPROVE SLIGHTLY FOR THE START OF
NEXT WEEK AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS WHILE REDUCING CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS OF 145 AM EDT SATURDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE INCREASING
OVER THE NC FOOTHILLS AND PORTIONS OF UPSTATE SC IN RESPONSE TO
INCREASING UPSLOPE FLOW AND PVA OVER THE REGION. POPS WERE INCREASED
ACCORDINGLY AND EXPECT THE COVERAGE OF PRECIP TO INCREASE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO FAR...NONE OF STORMS HAVE REACHED SEVERE
LEVEL DUE TO LIMITED BUOYANCY. THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS
WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLOODING.

AS OF 945 PM EDT FRIDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE GRADUALLY
INCREASING OVER NE GA...THE WRN UPSTATE AND THE CENTRAL AND SW NC
MTNS. THIS IS GENERALLY WHAT WAS EXPECTED...THOUGH IT/S A FEW HOURS
EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. I SUSPECT THAT THIS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE
TO SLOWLY MOVE NORTHEAST THE REST OF THE NIGHT...AND IT/S POSSIBLE
THAT MORE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AS THE LLVL FLOW
INCREASES LATE. THE STRENGTHENING WINDS WILL BE IN RESPONSE TO AN
APPROACHING SHORT WAVE WHICH SHOWS UP WELL ON THE RUC H5 ANALYSIS
AND THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY PRETTY MUCH RIGHT OVER THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER ATTM. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND EVEN A SEVERE STORM ARE TWO STILL
LOOK LIKE A GOOD BET.

AS OF 600 PM EDT FRIDAY...UPPED POPS INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY ACROSS
A BROAD SECTION OF THE CENTRAL PART OF THE FA LATER TONIGHT. MOST OF
THE CONVECTIVE ALLOWING MODELS DEVELOP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LATER TONIGHT AS THE LLVL FLOW INCREASES TO 20 TO 25 KTS AND A
RATHER POTENT SHORT WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE BEST. IT APPEARS THAT
RAIN CHANCES WILL BE HIGHEST ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE AND OUT INTO THE
FOOTHILLS WHERE UPSLOPE WILL AID ASCENT. LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN IS
POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS...WHICH HAS BASICALLY BEEN THE STORY OF THE
SUMMER. WITH DRY MID-LEVEL AIR...A FEW AREAS OF LARGE HAIL DAMAGING
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY EARLY ON IN
THE EVENT...SAY BETWEEN 8 PM AND MIDNIGHT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...ISOLATED DEEP CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. A LACK OF
TRULY ROBUST INSTABILITY (DUE TO WARM MID-LEVEL TEMPS) IS LIMITING
THE VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONVECTION...AND THERE HAS BEEN NO
LIGHTNING ACTIVITY OBSERVED THUS FAR (IN FACT...CELLS HAVE NOT EVEN
COME CLOSE TO BEING ENOUGH TO PRODUCE LIGHTNING). NEVERTHELESS...CU
IS BEGINNING TO APPEAR SOMEWHAT AGITATED OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN...AND
AS THE ATM CONTINUES TO HEAT UP...COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF
CONVECTION SHOULD GRADUALLY INCREASE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE
A GRADUAL INCREASE IN POPS TO LOW/SOLID CHANCE ACROSS THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON...WHILE HOLDING ON TO SLIGHT
COVERAGE AT BEST IN THE WEAKER INSTABILITY ACROSS OUR EASTERN
PIEDMONT ZONES.

THE SHORT TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO PICK UP ON A WEAK VORT MAX...
POSSIBLY CONVECTIVELY INDUCED AND A PRECURSOR TO THE PRIMARY SHORT
WAVE CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE MISS VALLEY...MOVING ACROSS THE CWA
THIS EVENING INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE OVERNIGHT. IN RESPONSE...
MOST MODELS...INCLUDING THE HIRES MODELS...HINT AT INCREASING
COVERAGE OF CONVECTION TONIGHT. OUR CURRENT EXPECTATION IS THAT THIS
WAVE WILL SWEEP THE MORE ROBUST CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY
DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA
THIS EVENING...SO WILL GENERALLY FEATURE 40-50 POPS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA DURING THIS TIME. SHEAR IS WEAK AND INSTABILITY COULD
CERTAINLY BE BETTER...BUT AN ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE STORM WILL BE
POSSIBLE ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN THREAT.

TOMORROW MAY BE AN INTERESTING DAY AS THE PRIMARY VORT MAX
APPROACHES FROM THE TENN VALLEY. DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN IN
ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE SUCH THAT SHEAR IS QUITE RESPECTABLE FOR
MID-SUMMER (20-25 KTS 0-3 KM...30-35 KTS 0-6 KM). THE PRIMARY
CONCERN WILL BE WITH THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY...AS THE
STRENGTHENING S/SE FLOW SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN PLENTY OF MORNING
STRATOCU. NEVERTHELESS...MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT QUITE A BIT OF
LINGERING DRY MID-LEVEL AIR...SO WE COULD SEE ENOUGH HEATING TO
REALIZE CLOSE TO 2000 J/KG CAPE VALUES. IF SO...WE MAY WELL SEE AN
ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. CONSIDERING THE UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
THE DEGREE OF HEATING...THE CURRENT SPC /SEE TEXT/5 PERCENT AREA
APPEARS REASONABLE FOR DAY 2.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EDT FRI...NUMEROUS SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ON
GOING SAT EVENING OVER EASTERN SECTIONS...IN RESPONSE TO A VIGOROUS
VORT MAX MOVING THROUGH THE CAROLINAS. I EXPECT THAT THE MAIN BODY
OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT.
HOWEVER...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLIP SE TO THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS
BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY...SO WILL NEED TO HOLD ONTO SOME CHANCE POPS
OVERNIGHT FOR SOME UPSLOPE MOUNTAIN SHOWERS...AND PERHAPS SOME
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INDUCED BY THE FRONT.

ON SUNDAY...THE FRONT WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION AS AN UPPER LOW
DIGS OVER THE GREAT LAKES. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE COMBINED WITH UPPER
DIFFLUENCE AND AFTERNOON CAPES PEAKING AROUND 1500J IN THE AFTERNOON
SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR SCT TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...
MOST NUMEROUS OVER EASTERN SECTIONS. SOME SHOWERS/STORMS COULD LINGER INTO
SUNDAY EVENING OVER THE EAST. HOWEVER...THE FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE
EAST OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE
WEST.

ON MONDAY...THE SURFACE HIGH IS FORECAST TO DOMINATE THE REGIONAL
WEATHER. THEREFORE...EXPECT A DRY DAY WITH MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY
CLOUDY CONDITIONS. STAYED CLOSE TO CONSENSUS GUIDANCE FOR MOST GRID
FIELDS. MAX TEMPS WILL BE A COUPLE CATEGORIES BELOW AVERAGE ON
SUNDAY...WARMING TO ABOUT A CATEGORY BELOW AVERAGE MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM FRIDAY...THE EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS LATE MONDAY WITH
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN OVER THE EAST COAST BEHIND THE DEPARTING
FRONTAL SYSTEM...USHERING IN DRIER AIR OVER THE CWA FOR THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. THE COMBINATION OF INVERSIONS AND WARMER AIR
ALOFT SHOULD KEEP MOST OF THE AREA CAPPED THROUGH MIDWEEK...ALLOWING
ONLY FOR SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MONDAY AND CHANCE POPS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THE AIRMASS BEGINS TO SATURATE AGAIN BY WEDNESDAY AS
ANOTHER TROUGH DIPS DOWN...AND THE MOIST AIR COMBINED WITH AN
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE WILL MAKE FOR GREATEST POPS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. IMPROVED DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND GENERAL
TROUGHINESS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS WILL KEEP THE PATTERN
UNSETTLED WITH MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION THROUGH THE END OF
NEXT WEEK.

CLOUD COVER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPS
BELOW AVERAGE...AND HIGHS WILL REMAIN COOLER THAN NORMAL THROUGH THE
END OF NEXT WEEK DUE TO LOWER THICKNESS ADVECTION. LOWS WILL BE NEAR
AVERAGE FOR THE ENTIRE MEDIUM RANGE.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...CU HAVE DRIED UP WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING AND THE AIRFIELD
SHOULD EXPERIENCE SEVERAL HOURS OF FAIR WEATHER. LATER TONIGHT
CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR NOCTURNAL CONVECTION AND I HAVE A
TEMPO GROUP FOR TSTMS FROM 06-09 UTC. STILL EXPECT STRENGTHENING
SOUTHERLY FLOW ACTING UPON AN INCREASINGLY MOIST LOW LEVEL AIR MASS
TO RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD STRATUS ACROSS THE AREA
LATE TONIGHT. CIGS MAY BE LOWER TONIGHT WITH SOME PCPN IN THE AREA
AND I TAKE THEM DOWN TO BKN010 AT 0900 UTC. ONLY SLOW IMPROVEMENT IS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS WITH THE MOIST SE FLOW AND
POSSIBLE ONGOING SHOWER OR TSTM ACTIVITY. MORE ACTIVITY IS LIKELY IN
THE AFTERNOON AS A STRONGER UPPER LOW MOVES THROUGH. EXPECTING S TO
SE WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

ELSEWHERE...A BROKEN LINE OF SHRA/TSTMS IS SLOWLY ADVANCING ACROSS
THE GA. CONDITIONS BECOME FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION LATER
TONIGHT...THOUGH I/M NOT SURE IF THIS LINE WILL MAKE IT OR IF WE
WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR MORE STORMS. AS A COMPROMISE...I HAVE TEMPO
THUNDER PROBS FROM 03-07. STRATUS IS A GOOD BET TONIGHT WITH MOIST
SOUTHEAST FLOW AND A LLVL WIND FIELD INCREASING TO AROUND 20 KTS.
WENT RIGHT ON THE CUSP OF IFR/MVFR. A LOT WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH
RAIN FALLS...BUT AS A RULE THAT MUCH LLVL WIND SHOULD KEEP US FROM
SEEING REALLY LOW CIGS. I DID GO LOWER AT KAVL. MORE SHRA/TSTMS ARE
EXPECTED TMRW. WINDS WILL BE S TO SE THROUGH THE PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP AGAIN SUNDAY...BUT COVERAGE SHOULD
BE DIMINISHING. BRIEF DRYING IS POSSIBLE ON MON AND TUE WITH HIGH
PRES FOLLOWING FROPA.
