AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
426 PM EDT MON MAY 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH MID
WEEK. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTER OF THE
COUNTRY WILL BRING A COLD FRONT OVER OUR AREA FROM THE WEST ON
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 425 PM...SCT CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE NC MTNS WITH
ISOLATED CONVECTION OVER NE GA AND THE WRN UPSTATE. COVERAGE COULD
BECOME SCT OVER THE WRN UPSTATE WHERE HIGHER INSTABILITY EXISTS.
HOWEVER...ONLY ISOLATED OR EVEN NO CONVECTION EXPECTED OVER THE ERN
UPSTATE AND THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT OF NC. HAVE UPDATED POP FOR
THESE TRENDS AND THE REST OF THE FIELDS FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS.

AS OF 230 PM EDT MONDAY...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND TSTMS HAVE DEVELOPED
OVER THE HIGHER RIDGES OF THE SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL NC MTNS AS WELL
AS ALONG THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. THE SPC REGIONAL
MESOANALYSIS WINDOW SHOWS SBCAPE VALUES OF AROUND 2500 J/KG OVER
THIS AREA. THIS MATCHES WELL WITH THE MODIFIED 12 UTC GSO SOUNDING.
FARTHER TO THE NORTH AND EAST THE CU FIELD IS MUCH WEAKER. THIS IS
ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE DRIER 12 UTC GSO SOUNDING. SCT TO ISOLATED
TSTMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BUBBLE IN THE INSTABILITY AXIS UNTIL A
LITTLE PAST SUNSET. LAPSE RATES ARE NOT PARTICULARLY STEEP...BUT THE
SFC DELTA THETA-E VALUES ARE QUITE HIGH AN A FEW MICROBURSTS AND
ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. THERE
WILL BE A VERY LIGHT UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE FLOW OVERNIGHT...BUT
WITH SUCH LIGHT SHEAR I DON/T THINK CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE LONG
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

NOT MUCH CHANCE ON TUESDAY. IN FACT...BOTH THE NAM AND GFS DRY THE
BNDRY LAYER DEWPOINTS OUT A FEW DEGREES FROM TODAY AS WE CONTINUE TO
BE UNDER SUBSIDENCE ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE BERMUDA HIGH.
SCT TSTMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE OVER THE NC MTNS...AND THE POP
DISTRIBUTION WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY WITH 30-40 POPS OVER THE NC
MTNS...TRAILING OFF TO SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND
WESTERN PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF MIDDAY MONDAY...BERMUDA HIGH WILL REMAIN DOMINANT OVER THE
SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION TUE NIGHT INTO WED. AN OCCLUDING SFC LOW OVER
NRN ONTARIO WILL HAVE PULLED AN ACCOMPANYING COLD FRONT THRU THE
MIDWEST. THIS FRONT WILL STALL IN THE OHIO VALLEY...KEEPING MOST OF
THE ERN US UNDER WARM AND MOIST CONDITIONS TUE NIGHT AND WED. SOME
GUIDANCE...PARTICULARLY THE GFS...CONTINUE TO PRODUCE QPF FROM
MOUNTAIN CONVECTION TUE NIGHT. IN MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW REGIME AND
WITH WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT...IT IS NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF THE QUESTION
THOUGH REMAINING ACTIVITY WOULD BE ISOLATED AND MINOR.

DEEP SHEAR IS STILL QUITE WEAK TUE NIGHT AND WITH THE SMALL MUCAPE
EXPECTED...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WOULD LIKELY BE THE BIGGEST CONCERN.
THIS IS ALSO TRUE WEDNESDAY...WHICH LOOKS TO BE A DAY OF SOMEWHAT
TYPICAL WARM SEASON CONVECTION. SHEAR INCREASES GRADUALLY LATE IN THE
DAY...MORESO WED NIGHT...AS THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO MOVE OFFSHORE
AND IS REPLACED BY A SHARP TROUGH. FLOW THROUGHOUT THE MID AND UPPER
LEVELS INCREASES THRU THURSDAY...BRINGING 0-6KM SHEAR TO 40 KT OR
MORE BY THU AFTN WHEN AT LEAST SEVERAL HUNDRED JOULES OF CAPE WILL BE
PRESENT. MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL BE VERY STRONG INTO THE PIEDMONT
EVEN THU MORNING...WITH MAINLY ATLANTIC FETCH BRINGING PWATS WELL
ABOVE 1.5 INCHES. HEAVY RAIN IS THUS AN EQUALLY SIGNIFICANT CONCERN
ON THU BUT COULD POTENTIALLY LIMIT SEVERE POTENTIAL. BEST OVERLAP OF
THE SEVERE INGREDIENTS DOES OCCUR OVER THE PIEDMONT DURING THE AFTN.
FROPA DOES NOT LOOK TO OCCUR UNTIL OVERNIGHT THU NIGHT WITH
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL STILL POSSIBLE UNTIL IT BLOWS THRU.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EDT ON MONDAY...LATEST GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE THAT A DEEP UPPER LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS
EAST ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS WITH ITS AXIS CROSSING THE REGION ON
SAT. AN UPPER SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL THEN DROP DOWN ON THE BASIS OF
THE TROUGH CROSSING THE REGION ON SUNDAY. H5 HEIGHTS WILL THEN RISE
BY MONDAY AS THE TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE AND A BROAD UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.

AT THE SURFACE...CONDITIONS SHOULD DRY OUT BY FRIDAY AS A COOL HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NW IN THE WAKE OF DEPARTING COLD FRONT.
THE HIGH WILL REMAIN CENTERED TO OUR NORTH BRINGING PERSISTENT
NORTHERLY FLOW TO THE REGION THROUGH DAY 7. VARIOUS MODEL SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THAT THERE MAY BE ENOUGH DIURNALLY DRIVEN BUOYANCY TO
TRIGGER SCATTERED CONVECTION MAINLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN FOR
SAT/SUN. HENCE...HAVE INHERITED SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE POPS
FAVORING IN THE MTNS DURING THIS PERIOD. CONDITIONS ON MON AND MON
NIGHT LOOK DRY FOR MOST LOCATIONS WITH BETTER CAPPING INVERSION
ALOFT. WITH LOWERING THICKNESSES AND COOL HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTING
TO OUR NORTH...TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AROUND 3-7 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...SO FOR THE CU FIELD OVER THE WRN NC PIEDMONT HAS BEEN
QUITE WEAK. THIS MAKES SENSE BASED ON THE LOW DEWPOINTS SEEN ON THE
12 UTC GSO SOUNDING. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A FEW SHRA OR A TSTM WILL
DEVELOP SOUTH OF THE AIRFIELD IN 3 OR 4 HOURS...BUT CHANCES ARE MUCH
TOO LOW TO PUT ANYTHING IN THE TAF. OTHERWISE...WINDS SHOULD
GENERALLY BE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT SPEEDS UNDER 10 KTS OVER THE
NEXT 24 HOURS.

ELSEWHERE...OVER THE NC MTNS SCT SHRA HAVE DEVELOPED NOT TOO FAR TO
THE WEST OF KAVL. AS THE MEAN FLOW IS OUT OF THE SSW...THESE SHOWERS
AND EVENTUAL TSTMS MAY DRIFT ACROSS THE AIRFIELD OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE HOURS. CONSIDERING THEIR PROXIMITY...I ADDED A TEMPO PERIOD
FOR A TSTM. A FEW SHRA/TSTMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE UPSTATE
WHERE THERE IS GREATER INSTABILITY AND A FAIRLY HEALTHY CU FIELD.
ADDED VCSH TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. THERE MAY BE A FEW PATCHES OF
STRATUS AND FOG AROUND OVERNIGHT...BUT THE ONLY PLACE WHERE
CONFIDENCE WAS HIGH ENOUGH TO ADD ANYTHING WAS AT KAVL.

OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE TUESDAY...BUT AFTERNOON AND
EVENING CONVECTION WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE. WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE
LARGELY DRY. ON THURSDAY A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL YIELD A
BETTER CHANCE OF RESTRICTIONS IN PROLONGED PRECIPITATION AND
THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT VFR AGAIN FRIDAY.
