AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
819 PM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION ON
THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY A COOLER HIGH PRESSURE FRIDAY INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 800 PM EDT...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE MAIN UPSTREAM 500
MB TROUGH AXIS MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL MS RIVER VALLEY...WITH
SEVERAL VORTICITY LOBES EJECTING EWD TOWARD THE SRN APPALACHIANS AND
FIRING CONVECTION OVER GA/AL/TN. THE SFC COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH
THE UPPER TROUGH HAS MADE LITTLE EWD PROGRESS ACROSS CENTRAL TN THUS
FAR THIS EVENING DUE TO SFC WAVES DEVELOPING ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND
MOVING NWD. ANTICIPATE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO INCREASE AND POSSIBLY
STRENGTHEN LATE THIS EVENING...DESPITE THE LIMITED SFC
INSTABILITY...DUE TO INCREASING/BACKING 850 MB FLOW THROUGH 06Z. THE
BEST FOCUS FOR SEVERE TSTMS LATE THIS EVENING WILL BE OVER SW
SECTIONS. THE BROAD WARM CONVEYOR BELT LIFT/MOISTURE SHOULD BECOME
SQUARELY CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...AND THEN LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ON THU. HIGH
ENSEMBLE ANOMALIES OF V COMPONENT WINDS AND PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES SUGGEST THAT HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM...AND THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH APPEARS
WELL PLACED. ANTICIPATE MAIN HYDRO ISSUES NEAR THE SRN/ERN MTN
ESCARPMENT THU MORNING...AND THEN OUT OVER THE INTERSTATE 77
CORRIDOR AREA THU AFTN/EARLY EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF MIDDAY WEDNESDAY...THERE REMAINS RELATIVELY LOW CONFIDENCE WRT
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AFTER 00Z FRIDAY AS COLD FRONT DEPARTS THE AREA.
GFS/EC/GEM PUSH THE FRONT THRU OUR CWFA AND EAST OF THE I-77 CORRIDOR
FAIRLY QUICKLY. ALL THREE OF THESE SHOW A SHALLOW SFC WAVE DEVELOPING
JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND MOVING N THRU THE NC PIEDMONT. NAM AND A NUMBER
OF SREF MEMBERS NOW DEVELOP THIS WAVE FURTHER WEST...WHICH LEADS TO A
PERIOD OF EASTERLY LLVL FLOW ACRS THE NW PIEDMONT AND INTO THE NRN
BLUE RIDGE AND MTNS. SHARPLY ENHANCED MOISTURE ADVECTION THRU THIS
AREA...AS WELL AS CONTINUED LIFT POSSIBLY DRIVING ELEVATED
CONVECTION...COULD PROLONG THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT NORTH OF I-40 INTO
THE NIGHT. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A CLEAR RUN-TO-RUN TREND FROM
THE NAM DEPICTION OF THE WAVE DEVELOPMENT...BUT THE CLUSTER OF SREF
DEPICTIONS SEEMS TO BE DRIFTING WESTWARD...I.E. EARLIER IN THE
EVOLUTION OF THE FRONT. SREF PROBABILITIES OF HEAVY RAIN SEEM TO SHOW
GOOD CONSISTENCY OVER THE PAST FEW RUNS ALSO. THUS I WILL GIVE SOME
WEIGHT IN THE FCST TO A WETTER SOLUTION FOR THE THU NIGHT PERIOD.

IN GENERAL...SKIES WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR TOWARD FRIDAY MRNG AND POPS
DIMINISH. MOST OF FRIDAY SHOULD BE DRY ACRS THE CWFA. WITH THE DEEP
UPPER TROUGH OVERHEAD AND THE REGION UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW...WEAK
Q-VECTOR CVGC CONTINUES TO BE PRESENT AND PEAK SFC HEATING IS
SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A LITTLE SFC INSTABILITY. MIXING WILL BE QUITE
DEEP AND ACCAS AND VIRGA SEEM MORE LIKELY THAN MEASURABLE PRECIP. IN
THE HIGHER TERRAIN SOME LIGHT SHOWERS COULD OCCUR HOWEVER. HIGHS ONE
TO TWO CATEGORIES BELOW CLIMO.

MUCH COOLER TEMPS ARE IN STORE FOR THE PERIOD POST FROPA AND UNDER
THE REMARKABLY DEEP TROUGH. FRI MRNG MINS IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS WILL
BE KEPT UP BY WIND AND LOW CLOUDINESS...BUT THESE ARE LESS OF A
FACTOR SATURDAY MORNING WHEN THICKNESSES ARE LOWER ANYWAY. MINS
WITHIN A COUPLE DEGREES OF FREEZING ARE EXPECTED ALONG RIDGES IN THE
SMOKIES AND BALSAMS. A WEAK VORT MAX ADVECTS ACROSS EARLY SAT MRNG
ALONG WITH DECENT MIDLEVEL MOISTURE. PER THE NAM...RIDGETOP SOUNDINGS
WOULD BE DEEPLY SATURATED NEARLY TO THE SFC AT THAT TIME...AND IF ANY
PRECIP WERE TO DEVELOP IT COULD BE SNOW OR SLEET. THERE IS BETTER
SUPPORT AND MODEL AGREEMENT FOR AN ONSET OF PRECIP LATER SAT
MRNG...SO NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW FLURRIES IS EXPECTED. THE GFS
SOUNDINGS DO NOT LOOK AS MOIST AS THOSE FROM THE NAM AND AGAIN A DEEP
DRY SFC LAYER WOULD PRECLUDE MUCH ACCUMULATION THRU THE DAY SATURDAY.
HIGHS WILL AGAIN BE A CATEGORY OR TWO BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 240 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...LATEST GLOBAL MODELS AGREE THAT AN
UPPER LOW OVER CENTRAL ONTARIO SAT NIGHT WILL DRIFT SE ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST STATES THROUGH MONDAY AND OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST BY EARLY
TUESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TO PERSIST ACROSS
THE REGION AT LEAST THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN
FROM THE WEST BY WEDNESDAY.

AT THE SURFACE...A COOLER HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION WILL CONTINUE TO RIDGE INTO THE FORECAST AREA SAT NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY WITH A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT SLIPPING THROUGH THE
REGION LATE SUNDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIP IN THE MTNS ON
SUN. BY WEDNESDAY...THE HIGH WILL SHIFT SOUTH OF THE AREA AS
ANOTHER BACKDOOR FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. HENCE...POPS RAMP
UP FROM THE NORTH THROUGH WED BUT KEPT IN THE SLIGHT TO LOW END
CHANCE RANGE DUE TO LIMITED MOISTURE. TEMPERATURES WILL STAY
AROUND 5-10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL SUN...WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND
EXPECTED THROUGH DAY 7.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT...RECENT MODEL TRENDS SUGGEST A SLOWER ARRIVAL OF THE IFR
CIGS AND ALSO THE THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE APPROACHING SYSTEM.
ALTHOUGH COVERAGE WILL BE VERY HIGH NOT FAR WEST OF THE AIRFIELD
WITHIN THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS...EXPECT A SLOW EASTWARD CREEP OF
SHOWERS AND EVENTUAL THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THU MORNING. WILL PUSH
IFR MENTION TO CIRCA 12Z...AND HOLD OFF WIDESPREAD THUNDER UNTIL 16Z
THU. UNTIL THEN...A STEADY UPTICK IN SHOWERS AND LOWERING OF VFR
CIGS TO MVFR BY 08Z IS EXPECTED. SE SFC WINDS SHOULD REMAIN ON THE
ORDER OF 10 TO 12 KT THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH OCNL LOW END GUSTS.
IFR CIGS SHOULD GET LOCKED IN THROUGH THU AFTN WITH THE WIDESPREAD
SHOWER/TSRA COVERAGE.

ELSEWHERE...COVERAGE OF SHRA AND TSRA WILL STEADILY INCREASE FROM
THE SW OVER THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS. WILL TIME TSRA AND ASSOCIATED
IFR CIGS IN FASTEST FROM KAND TO KGMU BEFORE 06Z...AND THEN KGSP TO
KAVL...AND EVENTUALLY KHKY TOWARD DAYBREAK. UNTIL THEN...A STEADY
DOWNWARD TREND FROM VFR TO MVFR CIGS IS EXPECTED THROUGH LATE
EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. SFC WINDS SHOULD BE A SOLID
10 TO 12 KT FROM THE SE OVERNIGHT...MORE SRLY THROUGH THU...THEN
BECOMING SW LATE DAY WITH FROPA...EXCEPT NW AT KAVL LATE. A FAIRLY
BROAD PERIOD OF IFR IS EXPECTED GIVEN THE WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS AND TSRA THROUGH MUCH OF THU. SOME IMPROVEMENT FROM THE SW
IS EXPECTED LATED IN THE PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT ON FRIDAY. SHALLOW
MOISTURE MAY MOVE THROUGH THE REGION WITH AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE OVER
THE WEEKEND...BUT ANY RESTRICTIONS WILL BE HARD TO TIME.
