AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
519 PM EDT WED AUG 19 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON THURSDAY...PRECEDED BY
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME DRYING IS EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND.
ANOTHER WEAK FRONT APPROACHES OUR AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 510PM WED...UPDATED FORECAST TO CONCENTRATE PRECIPITATION TO
EASTERN PARTS OF THE CWA PER RADAR TRENDS AND HRRR GUIDANCE.  RADAR
HAS HAD HEAVIEST COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING EASTWARD WITH SOME
RESIDUAL ACTIVITY ELSEWHERE. HEAVIER STORMS OVER EASTERN PARTS OF
THE CWA AGREES WITH HIGHER CAPE ANALYSIS IN THAT AREA.  RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GENEROUS...GIVEN HIGH PRECIPITABLE
WATER.  SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO TAPER AFTER 3Z THIS EVENING.

AS OF 230 PM WED...RADAR CONTINUES TO SHOW INCREASING COVERAGE AND
EXPECT NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. SOME MORE STRATIFORM TYPE PRECIP WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDER MAY LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS OVER EASTERN AREAS. SPC
MESOANAL SHOWING CAPES IN THE 2000-3000J/KG RANGE OUTSIDE THE
MOUNTAINS. ALSO...THE DCAPE HIGHER TODAY THAN PREVIOUS DAYS NOW
HAVING INCREASED TO OVER 1000J EASTERN AREAS.  HENCE...SEVERE STORM
CHANCES HIGHER THIS AFTERNOON AND WE SHOULD SEE SEVERAL PULSE SEVERE
STORMS. THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BE ALONG SIDE THE LOCALIZED HYDRO
THREAT.

IN REGARD TO THE BIG PICTURE...A VORT MAX IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WHICH IS THE
PRIMARY TRIGGER OF THE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS. NVA BEHIND THIS
FEATURE SHOULD RESULT IN A LULL IN PRECIP COVERAGE DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. MINIMUM TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT A CATEGORY
ABOVE CLIMO.

ON THURSDAY...A DEEP UPPER TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT SOUTHEASTWARD AND IT IS FORECAST TO REACH THE
MOUNTAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON. WITH DEEP LAYER MOISTURE STILL IN
PLACE...THERE STILL SHOULD BE DECENT COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS...WITH
FLOW BECOMING MORE ZONAL/DOWNSLOPE THE COVERAGE SHOULD BE SCT. MODEL
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO INDICATE LESS CAPE...SO SEVERE THREAT
APPEARS ON THE LOW END. MAX TEMPS WILL BE NEAR TO CLIMO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...THE SHORT TERM FCST PERIOD INITIALIZES
THURSDAY EVENING AMIDST AN ONGOING COLD FRONTAL INTRUSION.
THE UPPER PATTERN WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED BY A DEEP NEGATIVELY TILTED
LONGWAVE TROF EJECTING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WHILE BROAD RIDGING
PREVAILS OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AND EASTERN GULF.  AS STATED ABOVE...A
COLD FRONT WILL BE WORKING ITS WAY INTO/THROUGH THE NC HIGH TERRAIN
BY THURSDAY EVENING WITH DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PREVAILING OUT
AHEAD.  IN RESPONSE...EXPECTING ONGOING CONVECTION IN THE WARM
SECTOR AT FCST INITIALIZATION POSSIBLY AIDED BY ENHANCED SHEARING
AND VORT ADVECTION ALOFT.  SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IS NOW IN BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH REGARDS TO THE TRACK/DEPTH OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
WITH BOTH THE GFS/NAM ALONG WITH THE ECMWF PUSHING THE BOUNDARY
SOUTH OF THE CWFA...LIKELY WASHING OUT OVER THE LOWCOUNTRY/MIDLANDS
BY MID MORNING FRIDAY.

BROAD SFC HIGH PRESSURE IS FCST TO ADVECT IN FROM THE MIDWEST
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY JUST BEHIND THE FRONT...BEFORE SLIDING OVER
THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL APPS LATER IN THE DAY.  AS A RESULT...DRIER
NORTHERLY FLOW WILL WARRANT DECREASED PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL
AND PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NC.  DUE TO CLOSER
PROXIMITY TO ANY REMNANT FRONTAL MOISTURE...LOCATIONS ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE I85 CORRIDOR WILL SEE SLIGHTLY HIGH PROBABILITIES AND
THUS PARTLY/MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES.  NEVERTHELESS...PROFILES ARE NOT
SUPPORTIVE OF ANY DEEP CONVECTION AT THIS TIME THEREFORE NOTHING
MORE THAN GARDEN VARIETY SHOWERS WITH PERHAPS A FEW RUMBLES OF
THUNDER ARE EXPECTED.  SATURDAY IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE NICEST DAY
OF THE PERIOD WITH MODELS INDICATING FURTHER DRY AIR INTRUSION
AS THE ABOVE MENTIONED SURFACE RIDGE MOVES EAST OF THE APPS.
MOSGUIDE AND TO SOME EXTENT EVEN THE RAW NAM INDICATES DEWPOINTS
IN THE UPPER 50S ACROSS NORTHWEST NC INCREASING TO THE LOWER 60S
ALONG THE I85 CORRIDOR.  THUS EXPECTING MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES AND TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ALLOWING
FOR A BEAUTIFUL MID/LATE AUGUST DAY.  THAT SAID...NAM GUID DOES
FAVORS AT LEAST SOME CHANCE FOR LOW END DESTABILIZATION OVER THE
SOUTHWEST NC MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST GA...THEREFORE WILL INCLUDE
POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR SUCH WITH MAX HEATING ON SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT 230 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...ON SUNDAY AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE
WESTERN USA...WITH A MEAN TROUGH OVER THE EAST. THE PATTERN
AMPLIFIES SLIGHTLY INTO TUESDAY AS A CLOSED UPPER LOW CROSSES SOUTH
CENTRAL CANADA. THE PATTERN DEAMPLIFIES SLIGHTLY BY THURSDAY AS THE
CANADIAN LOW APPROACHES THE ATLANTIC....BY WHICH TIME SOME
PROGRESSION TAKES PLACE...AND THE UPPER TROUGH REACHES THE EASTERN
SEABOARD...WHILE THE RIDGE UPSTREAM CROSSES THE PLAINS AND EXTENDS
INTO THE GULF STATES.

AT THE SURFACE...SUNDAY STARTS OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE
EASTERN SEABOARD...WITH A COLD FRONT UPSTREAM FORM THE GREAT LAKES
TO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS FRONT REACHES THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
ON MONDAY...MOVING TO THE COASTAL PLAIN BY TUESDAY...WHERE IT STALLS
AND REMAINS INTO WEDNESDAY. OUR AREA CAN EXPECT AN ACTIVE PATTERN
AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE FRONT...WITH A DRYING TREND IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT. AT THIS TIME...PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE EXCESSIVE AS THE FRONT DOES NOT STALL UNTIL EAST OF
OUR AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN NEAR NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT...LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE ACTIVE DAY FOR CONVECTION AS
RADAR BEGINNING TO SHOW QUITE A BIT OF COVERAGE. CURRENT TRENDS
INDICATE THAT TEMPO TSRA WILL OCCUR FROM 19Z-23Z WITH PERHAPS SOME
MORE STRATIFORM TYPE PRECIP EXTENDING INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS A
VORT MAX MOVES THROUGH. IFR RESTRICTIONS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE IN THE
HEAVIER CONVECTIVE CELLS. AFTER ABOUT 03Z PRECIP SHOULD END WITH
CONDITIONS VFR. GUIDANCE NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT EARLY MORNING
FOG/STRATUS BUT NOT CONVICNED IT WILL NOT OCCUR...SO MENTIONED SOME
LIGHT FOG WITH SCT010 CIRCA 12Z.

ELSEWHERE...FAIRLY SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO KCLT WITH TEMPO TSRA AND
POSSIBLE IFR RESTRICTIONS INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. PRECIP
SHOULD END BY 03Z. EXPECT ONLY PATCHY IFR STRATUS/FOG EARLY
THURSDAY. CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO PUT INTO TAF EXCEPT AT KAVL.

OUTLOOK...A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATE THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. ASSOCIATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORSM ARE EXPECTED TO END
THURSDAY NIGHT. LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MAY RESULT IN
RESTRICTIONS IN FOG/STRATUS EARLY FRIDAY. DRY HIGH PRESSRUE BUILDING
IN FROM THE NORTH WILL LIMIT RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
