AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
340 AM EDT SAT APR 4 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND
LINGER THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. MOISTURE LEVELS WILL INCREASE
BEGINNING MONDAY AS A WARM FRONT PUSHES NORTH OVER THE AREA AND
BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE LAST RAGGED REMNANTS OF CONVECTIVE BAND ARE MOVING RATHER
QUICKLY EAST ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES EARLY THIS
MORNING...WHILE THE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY SWEEPING ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS. MOIST NW FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT COULD SUPPORT
ADDITIONAL SHOWER ACTIVITY NEAR THE TENN BORDER...ALTHOUGH SHORT
TERM MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THE MOISTURE WILL QUICKLY BECOME QUITE
SHALLOW. THUS...POPS WILL BE HELD IN THE 20-30 PERCENT RANGE IN THE
USUAL NW FLOW AREAS THROUGH ABOUT MID-MORNING. BASED UPON THE LATEST
GUIDANCE...IT IS SOMEWHAT  THAT WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL
BE MET ACROSS THE MTNS THIS MORNING...BUT IT WILL BE WINDY...WITH
GUSTS IN THE 30-40 KT RANGE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE CURRENT ADVISORY
AREA. IT WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THROUGH EXPIRATION.

DRYING AIR AND GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN INCREASING FIRE DANGER
THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY EAST OF THE MTNS...WHERE VERY LITTLE RAIN
HAS FALLEN EARLY THIS MORNING. SEE THE FIRE WX DISCUSSION FOR
DETAILS. COLD ADVECTION WILL YIELD MAX TEMPS AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW
CLIMO ACROSS THE MTNS THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE THE OFFSETTING EFFECT
OF DOWNSLOPE WARMING WILL YIELD MAXES JUST A BIT BELOW NORMAL ACROSS
THE PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS.

HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE REGION TONIGHT WITHIN ANOMALOUSLY
DRY REGIME WILL RESULT IN NEARLY IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS. MOST SHELTERED MTN VALLEYS SHOULD DECOUPLE AFTER
MIDNIGHT...IF NOT SOONER...LIKELY RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD FREEZING
TEMPERATURES BY DAYBREAK. A FREEZE WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR ALL NC
MTN ZONES EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHERN MTNS...WHERE SPRING FROST/FREEZE
PRODUCTS ARE CURRENTLY NOT SCHEDULED TO BE ISSUED UNTIL MAY 1ST.
OUTSIDE THE MTNS...TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
FROST ACROSS MUCH OF THE NC FOOTHILLS AND NORTHERN PIEDMONT.
HOWEVER...WITH THE DRY NATURE OF THE AIR MASS...FROST MAY NOT BE
EASY TO COME BY. NEVERTHELESS...A FROST ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED...
MAINLY TO HIGHLIGHT TYPICAL PIEDMONT COLD POCKETS THAT WILL LIKELY
SEE A LIGHT FREEZE SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AT 230 AM EDT SATURDAY...ON SUNDAY MORNING A DEAMPLIFYING UPPER
TROUGH WILL BE OFF THE EAST COAST...WHILE AN ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH
WILL BE OFF THE WEST COAST. NEARLY ZONAL UPPER FLOW WILL EXIST OVER
THE SOUTHERN TIER OF STATES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

AT THE SURFACE...COLD...DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER NC
SUNDAY MORNING...WHILE A STATIONARY FRONT WILL BE OVER FL AND THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST AND OFF THE
COAST DURING THE DAY...MOIST ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE OVER THE GULF FRONT
WILL SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE GULF STATES...REACHING THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS IN THE MIDDLE OF SUNDAY NIGHT. UPGLIDE OVER OUR AREA
WILL INCREASE ON MONDAY...THEN PERSIST INTO MONDAY NIGHT. UPSLOPE
FLOW WILL BE LIMITED AS LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BE FROM THE SW.
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT 230 AM EDT SATURDAY...ON TUESDAY A FLAT RIDGE WILL BE OVER
MEXICO...WHILE ZONAL FLOW EXTENDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF
STATES. AN UPPER LOW OFF THE NW COAST WILL DROP S ALONG THE CA COAST
BEFORE MOVING INLAND OVER NV BY WEDNESDAY...RESULTING IN MINOR
RIDGING OVER THE SE. THE RIDGE AXIS MOVE TO THE APPALACHIANS BY
THURSDAY AS THE UPPER LOW PROGRESSES SLOWLY ACROSS THE ROCKIES. BY
FRIDAY THE RIDGE AXIS REACHES THE EAST COAST AS THE UPPER LOW
APPROACHES THE UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY.

AT THE SURFACE...ON TUESDAY A STATIONARY FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST TO THE OH RIVER VALLEY AND CENTRAL PLAINS. AN
OPEN GULF OF MEXICO WILL PROLONG MOIST INFLOW OVER THE SE. THIS
PATTERN LARGELY PERSISTS INTO FRIDAY...WITH VARYING AMOUNTS OF
ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE OVER OUR AREA. THE SURFACE FRONT MAY DIVE S ALONG
THE EASTERN SEABOARD...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LIMITED ON WHETHER IT WILL
REACH OUR AREA. BY FRIDAY A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE OH AND LOWER
MS RIVER VALLEYS...REACHING THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS FRIDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE EXCEPT KAVL...SHOWER BAND CONTINUES TO WEAKEN
AND DECAY ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING...SUCH THAT VCSH SHOULD
SUFFICE AT MOST TERMINALS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT.
THE MOST LIKELY AREA TO SEE RAIN WILL BE KAND...BUT EVEN SO...PRECIP
HAS GENERALLY NOT BEEN REDUCING VISBY BELOW 7SM. OTHERWISE...VFR
CONDITIONS CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE...WITH GRADUALLY CLEARING
SKIES EXPECTED FROM WEST TO EAST BEGINNING AROUND DAYBREAK...AS A
RATHER STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA. WINDS WILL REMAIN
S/SW AT 5-10 KTS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS...THEN TURN TOWARD THE NW BY
MID-MORNING...WITH GUSTS OVER 20 KTS EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS BY
LATE MORNING. GUSTS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING...WHILE WINDS SHOULD
WEAKEN AND TURN TOWARD THE NE.

AT KAVL...SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE ACROSS THE MTNS EARLY THIS
MORNING...SUCH THAT VCSH SHOULD SUFFICE IN THE TAF FOR ANY

GUSTY BY AROUND 09Z. IN THE INTERIM...CANNOT RULE OUT SOME LIGHT
FOG...AND HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO FOR MVFR VISBY DURING THIS TIME.
ONCE THE FLOW TURNS NW...MVFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN A MOIST UP-
VALLEY FLOW. ANY CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR BY MID/LATE MORNING...

REIGN THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD...WITH GRADUALLY DIMINISHING
