AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
744 PM EDT WED JUN 4 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY AND CROSS THE
AREA ON THURSDAY. THIS FRONT WILL BECOME STATIONARY SOUTH OF THE
AREA BY FRIDAY AND WILL STICK AROUND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL
CAUSE THE WEATHER PATTERN TO REMAIN LARGELY UNSETTLED AS ANOTHER
COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
730 PM EDT UPDATE....THE FCST IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH LIKELY POPS
ACROSS THE MTN SPINE BEGINNING TO PAN OUT WITH THE FIRST WAVE OF S/W
CONVECTION AHEAD OF DEVELOPING MCS OVER SRN IL/IN AND WRN KY. THE
NRN STORMS IN ERN TN ARE PRODUCING LARGE HAIL / STRONG WINDS AND
WILL ANTICIPATE SIMILAR STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WRN AND NRN NC
MTNS IMMINENTLY. THE MAIN STRONG/SEVERE TSTM THREAT SHOULD REMAIN
OVER THE NRN MTNS AND FHILLS BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULED UPDATE AT
1030 PM.

430 PM EDT UPDATE....THE ATMOS REMAINS CAPPED OFF ACROSS THE CWFA
WITH NO SIGFNT CU DEVELOPMENT NOTED ON VIS YET. POCKETS OF VORT
ENERGY ARE INSTIGATING A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO THE NORTH
THE NW OF THE CWFA AND EXPECT A GENERAL INCREASING IN CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY EAST AND TO THE ACROSS ERN TN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
HRS. MADE MINOR ADJ TO T/TD GRIDS AND LOWERED SKY COVER ACROSS THE
NON/MTNS A LITTLE.

AS OF 225 PM...THE DECAYING MCV AND DEBRIS CLOUDINESS CAN BE SEEN ON
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACRS ERN KY/TN...WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
CLOUD SHIELD PERHAPS ENHANCING LIFT FOR A FEW SHWRS AND ISOLD TSTMS
ACRS ERN TN AND CENTRAL GA ATTM. THE ATMOSPHERE ACRS THE CWFA HAS
DESTABILIZED TO THE TUNE OF 1500 TO OVER 3000 J/KG PER THE LATEST
LAPS. BUT SURPRISINGLY...MOST GUIDANCE SHOWS LITTLE CONVECTION
DEVELOPING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN INTO EARLY EVENING. I STILL
THINK CHC POP IN THE MTNS AND SLGT CHC ELSEWHERE LOOKS GOOD.

LATER THIS EVENING...ALL EYES ON THE OHIO VALLEY...WHERE GUIDANCE IN
PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON EXPLOSIVE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT INVOF A
POTENT SHORTWAVE TROF AND A SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT. THE LATEST
CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODELS AND THE 12Z NAM ARE REALLY CONVERGING ON
A LARGE MCS DEVELOPING...WITH SEVERAL BOWING SEGMENTS...PROPAGATING
SEWD ACRS THE TN VLY INTO THE NC MTNS THIS EVENING. CONFIDENCE IS
PRETTY HIGH ON THIS...AS BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SHOW 2500 TO OVER 3500
J/KG OF SBCAPE WITH 35-45 KTS OF BULK SHEAR IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. WE
EXPECT HIGH WINDS TO BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE LINE. TIMING IS
STILL A BIT UNCERTAIN...BUT THE THINKING IS A BIT EARLIER THAN
BEFORE...POSSIBLY KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF THE NC MTNS AROUND 10 PM
TO MIDNIGHT. I HAVE BUMPED UP POP TO CATEGORICAL ALONG THE TN BORDER
AND LIKELY ALL THE WAY TO THE BLUE RIDGE.

OVERNIGHT...CONFIDENCE STILL LOW ON HOW ROBUST THE CONVECTION WILL
BE AS IT GETS EAST OF THE MTNS. THE CONSENSUS SEEMS TO BE THAT AT
LEAST A REMNANT OUTFLOW/DECAYING MCS SHUD SURVIVE...ALTHOUGH WILL IT
BE MORE EAST ACRS NC OR WEST ACRS THE UPSTATE AND NE GA. I OPTED TO
KEEP JUST A CHC POP ALONG AND EAST OF I-85. EVEN IF THE CONVECTION
BECOMES SHALLOW AND STOPS PRODUCING LIGHTNING...THE COLD POOL MIGHT
BE STRONG ENUF TO CONTINUE KNOCKING TREES DOWN HEADING INTO THE LWR
PIEDMONT. TEMPS SHUD DROP INTO THE 60S WITHIN THE COLD POOL FOR
OVERNIGHT LOWS.

THURSDAY...STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY ON CONVECTION
REDEVELOPMENT...AS IT LOOKS LIKE MOST IF NOT ALL THE CWFA WILL BE
OVERTURNED BY THE EARLIER MCS. THE GFS LOOKS TOO BULLISH ON RECOVERY
WITH 2000-3000 J/KG OF SBCAPE ACRS MOST OF THE PIEDMONT EARLY AFTN.
THE NAM LOOKS REASONABLE ON ONLY MODEST INSTBY...HIGHEST IN THE SW
ZONES OF GENERALLY 1000-2000 J/KG. EITHER WAY...THERE SHUD STILL BE
A DECENT AMOUNT OF SHEAR IN THE PROFILES. SO ANY CONVECTION THAT
DEVELOPS MAY ORGANIZE INTO SEGMENTS AND A FEW ROTATING STORMS. I
HAVE CUT BACK POP ACRS THE NORTH...WHICH LOOKS LEAST UNSTABLE...BUT
KEEP A SOLID HIGH-END CHC POP FOR THE SRN THIRD. TEMPS ALSO MAY BE A
BIT TRICKY...IF THERE IS A LOT OF DEBRIS CIRRUS. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE
MOST OF THE AREA SHUD MANAGE TO GET BACK INTO THE 80S TO LWR 90S IN
THE SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM WED...THE SLOWLY PASSING FRONTAL ZONE WILL LIKELY STALL
OVER THE SRN PERIPHERY OF THE FORECAST AREA THU NIGHT. A FAIRLY
ACTIVE SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVES IN THE WNW FLOW ALOFT
WILL INTERACT WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO
KEEP SCATTERED PRECIPITATION CHANCES GOING THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI
NIGHT. THESE FEATURES WILL BE HARD TO TIME...BUT THE FIRST SUCH WAVE
APPEARS PROGGED TO ARRIVE THU NIGHT. THE SECOND VORTICITY MAXIMA IS
SLATED MORE TOWARD FRIDAY AFTN...WHEN PEAK HEATING SHOULD ALLOW MOST
LOCATIONS ACROSS THE AREA TO RECOVER SB CAPE VALUES TO 1000 TO 2000
J/KG. IN ADDITION...LINGERING WESTERLY SHEAR COULD PROVIDE SOME
DEGREE OF ORGANIZATION FOR STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE CONVECTION
FRI AFTN. CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE HWO AT
PRESENT.

A SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE AREA THROUGH SAT AS A
TROUGH LIFTS THROUGH THE MIDWEST. EXPECT SOME DRYING THROUGHOUT THE
PROFILES AS WELL...HOWEVER...THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL LIKELY REMAIN
FAIRLY MOIST. UNDER THE SHALLOW RIDGE...LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW
COULD CREATE MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND STRATUS NEAR THE MOUNTAINS...BUT
DIURNAL HEATING SHOULD PERMIT ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED CONVECTION
SAT AFTN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MTNS. INSTABILITY AND SHEAR SHOULD
BE LESS UNDER THE GROWING RIDGE. MAXES SHOULD BE NEAR CLIMO.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 150 PM WEDNESDAY...THE 0Z ECMWF INDICATES THAT A H5 SHORT
WAVE WILL RIPPLE ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO RIVER VALLEY SUNDAY MORNING
INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. MID-LEVEL Q-VECTORS INDICATE THAT THE MAIN
REGION OF FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE WILL PASS NORTH OF
THE CWA. HOWEVER...A REGION OF WEAK FORCING WILL PASS CROSS THE SRN
APPALACHIANS SUNDAY MORNING. THE COMBINATION OF THE WEAK
FORCING...BROAD SOUTHERLY FLOW...AND DIURNAL INSTABILITY SHOULD
YIELD SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH
THE GREATEST COVERAGE OVER THE MOUNTAIN RIDGES. THE ENVIRONMENT
FEATURING LOW SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT GENERAL CONVECTION. USING A BLEND
OF PREFERRED GUIDANCE...MORNING TEMPS SHOULD RANGE AROUND 5 DEG
ABOVE NORMAL WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS WITHIN A DEGREE OR TWO OF NORMAL.

MONDAY...A SECOND MID-LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ACROSS
THE WESTERN CAROLINAS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. FORCING ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS SHORT WAVE APPEARS MORE WIDESPREAD AND STRONGER THAN THE
ONE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY. IN ADDITION...TEMPS SHOULD PEAK AROUND 5
DEGREES WARMER THAN SUNDAY WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN THE MID TO
UPPER 60S. THEREFORE...COVERAGE SHOULD INCREASE STEADILY THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...SUPPORTED BY THE ARRIVAL OF MID-LEVEL FORCING AND
MODERATE INSTABILITY. I WILL FORECAST LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE
MAJORITY OF THE NC MOUNTAINS WITH 40 POPS EAST.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...FAVORING THE 0Z ECMWF...H5 RIDGING IS
FORECAST TO BUILD ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE
CONUS. OVERALL...TEMPS SHOULD RANGE 5 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH
DIURNAL THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. REMAINING SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 60S COULD YIELD SCATTERED CONVECTION DURING THE HEAT OF THE
AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY. INCREASING SUBSIDENCE INVERSION SHOULD PROVIDE
A MORE CAPPED ENVIRONMENT ON WEDNESDAY...I WILL LIMIT CHANCES TO THE
MTNS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT...WAITING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF UPSTREAM MCS INTO THE MTNS
AND FTHILLS LATER THIS EVENING WITH COLD POOL CONVECTION PUSHING
EAST TOWARD THE TERMINAL...MOST LIKELY REACHING AROUND 03Z.
CONVECTION LOOKS TO WEAKEN AND BECOME A LITTLE MORE DISORGANIZED AS
THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST SO WILL KEEP TEMPO MENTION THROUGH 07Z. WINDS
SHOULD SHIFT NW/LY BUT COULD BE VRB GUSTY TO 25-30 KTS DURING THIS
TIME. BNDRY MOVES JUST TO SOUTH THU MID DAN AND THINS WILL KEEP
WINDS NNW/LY WITH SCT THUNDER DEVELOPING AFT 18Z.

ELSEWHERE...THE INCOMING MCS WILL AFFECT KAVL AND KHKY WITH THUNDER
THIS EVENING AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HRS. WINDS SHOULD BE
MODERATELY GUSTY WITH COLD POOL PUSHING THROUGH. WINDS WEAKEN AS THE
SYSTEM PUSHES TOWARD THE SC TERMINALS AND THUNDER POTENTIAL WILL BE
LESS WITH SHRA IN THE VICINITY THROUGH 10Z. AFTERNOON CONVECTION SHOULD
START UP RELATIVELY EARLY ACROSS SC...AROUND 18Z...WITH SFC BNDRY
LINGERING IN THE AREA. ALL SITES GET A PROB30 TSRA EXCEPT VCTS AT
KHKY...WHERE SB INSTABILITY WILL BE A MINIMA.

OUTLOOK...GOOD AFTERNOON HEATING AND AVAILABLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
SHOULD ENABLE DIURNAL CHANCE SHRA/TSRA FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY.
