AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1026 PM EDT THU OCT 1 2015

...HISTORIC...POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING RAINFALL EVENT
EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND...

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS STILL EXPECTED TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY
ATOP THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS TROPICAL CYCLONE JOAQUIN
MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE OFFSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL IS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 1025 PM...SHRA INCREASING IN COVERAGE THIS EVENING AND WILL
BECOME WIDESPREAD BY MIDNIGHT. RAINFALL RATES HAVE NOT BEEN
EXCESSIVE THIS EVENING AND ACTIVITY IS SHOWING MOVEMENT...ALBEIT
SLOW. ALTHOUGH RATES SHOULD NOT BECOME EXCESSIVE OVERNIGHT...WITH
THE INCREASING COVERAGE...SOME LOCATIONS COULD SEE SEVERAL ROUNDS
OF MODERATE RAINFALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO FLOODING.
OTHERWISE...GOING FCST IS ON TRACK WITH UPDATES MAINLY FOR CURRENT
CONDITIONS.

AS OF 750 PM...NUMEROUS SHRA...AND ISOLATED TSRA...REMAIN LIMITED TO
THE WRN CWFA...WHILE ISOLATED SHRA DEVELOP ELSEWHERE. ISOLATED
FLOODING IN THE HEAVIER CELLS STILL POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...MAINLY
ACROSS THE WRN CWFA. OTHERWISE...EXPECT PRECIP TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE ACROSS THE ARE THRU THE NITE AS ISENTROPIC LIFT AND
STRONGER ELY FLOW DEVELOP. SHUD SEE INCREASINGLY GUSTY WINDS AS
WELL. TEMPS LOOK ON TRACK.

AS OF 230 PM THURSDAY...AS WE HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING IN PREVIOUS
AFDS...MIDLEVEL LOW HAS CUT OFF OVER TN/KY...WITH ELONGATED
FRONT STRETCHING ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. SURFACE HIGH ACROSS
SOUTHERN CANADA HAS BEGUN TO RIDGE DOWN THE EASTERN SLOPES OF
THE APPALACHIANS WITH NORTHEAST SURFACE FLOW FIRMLY IN PLACE WITH
THE COLD AIR DAMMING. VORT MAX ROTATING AROUND THE MIDLEVEL LOW
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING WIDESPREAD SYNOPTIC LIFT TO THE AREA...AND
UPPER DIFFLUENCE ALONG THE DEFORMATION ZONE NORTHEAST OF THE UPPER
LOW WILL ADD TO THIS. UPPER JET STREAK WILL CONTINUE PUSHING NORTH
ACROSS THE CAROLINAS AS LOW-LEVEL FLOW INCREASES AND MOISTURE BEGINS
POOLING EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS. NEAR RECORD-LEVEL PW VALUES WILL
STREAM INTO THE AREA...WITH TRAJECTORIES BRINGING TROPICAL MOISTURE
FROM JOAQUIN AND SLAMMING IT INTO THE SOUTHEAST. ISENTROPIC LIFT
PICKS UP AS WELL AND WITH STRONG LOW-LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW...ALL
THE INGREDIENTS ARE IN PLACE FOR A RAINFALL EVENT OF HISTORIC
PROPORTIONS ACROSS THE AREA. IN COMPARISON...WITH FAY IN 2008 WE HAD
WIDESPREAD 6 OR SO INCHES WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS...IN 1995 WE HAD UP
TO 20 INCHES WITH JERRY. STORM TOTAL QPF THROUGH THE NEAR TERM AND
SHORT TERM FOR PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS...SPECIFICALLY
THE I-26 CORRIDOR...IS OVER 10 INCHES. FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS
BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AND EXTENDED
THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. MORE ON THE SHORT TERM BELOW. HEAVY RAIN WILL
BE PUSHING IN FROM THE EAST TOMORROW MORNING WITH WIDESPREAD 2-3
INCHES EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.

NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THIS EVENT. AVOID GETTING OUT ON
THE ROADS THE NEXT FEW DAYS IF POSSIBLE. REMEMBER IT TAKES ONLY
A FOOT OF WATER TO MOVE A CAR...AND IF WATER IS OVER THE ROAD
THERE IS NO WAY FOR YOU TO KNOW IF THE ROAD IS STILL THERE. TURN
AROUND DON/T DROWN! ADDITIONALLY...WHILE NOT AS MUCH OF A CONCERN
FOR THE NEAR TERM... THE LANDSLIDE/DEBRIS FLOW RISK WILL RAMP UP
OVER THE WEEKEND AS WELL. SEE PNS ISSUED AT 1237 PM TODAY WITH
SOME PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION FOR LANDSLIDES.

BEYOND THE RAIN...MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES IN STORE WITH LOWS
TONIGHT DROPPING INTO THE MID AND UPPER 50S AND HIGHS FRIDAY IN
THE UPPER 50S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...WITH MAYBE A FEW LOWER 60S
IN SOUTHWEST ZONES. WINDS WILL ALSO BE STEADY BETWEEN 10-15MPH
WITH GUSTS UP TO 25MPH OR SO...WITH WEAKENED ROOT SYSTEMS FROM
THE RECENT RAIN IT IS POSSIBLE SOME TREES MAY START COMING DOWN
AS WINDS PICK UP.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT THURSDAY...THE SHORT TERM FCST PERIOD INITIALIZES
FRIDAY EVENING AMIDST THE ONSET OF A POTENTIALLY HISTORIC RAINFALL
EVENT FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST GA AND THE WESTERN CAROLINAS.
GUIDANCE HAS COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING ANY DIRECT
IMPACTS FROM HURRICANE JOAQUIN...YIELDING LITTLE TO NO IMMEDIATE
THREAT FOR OUR AREA.  THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE FCST WILL BE
THE CUTOFF H5 LOW PARKED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST.  AMPLE UPPER
LARGE SCALE SYNOPTIC LIFT WILL BE PRESENT OVER THE SOUTHERN APPS
THANKS TO POTENT UPPER JETMAX ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE
TROF...WHILE THE LOW/MID LEVELS CONTINUE TO MOISTEN AS BACKWARDS
PARCEL TRAJECTORIES INDICATE MOISTURE SOURCES FROM THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC.  TO COMPLICATE MATTERS...NORTHEAST FLOW AT THE SURFACE
WILL AID DAMMING/WEDGING AND THUS PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR ISENTROPIC
ASCENT OF A FORE MENTIONED MOISTURE ADVECTION.

ALL SAID...THE POTENTIAL FOR CATASTROPHIC FLOODING LOOKS TO BE ON
THE RISE.  LATEST WPC QPF SUPPORTS TOTALS IN EXCESS OF 12-14 INCHES
ACROSS MUCH OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS...WITH THE MAXIMUM ALONG THE
I26 CORRIDOR.  OPTED TO LEAN HEAVILY ON SAID WPC TOTALS...WITH SOME
BLENDING OF THE LATEST ECMWF WHICH LOWERED TOTALS A BIT.  AS FOR THE
FCST...LIKELY/CATEGORICAL POPS PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY/SUNDAY WITH
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL EXPECTED ON SATURDAY...INTO MID/LATE MORNING
ON SUNDAY.  WILL REISSUE THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH AN
EMPHASIS ON DEBRIS FLOW OVER THE NC/SC/GA HIGH TERRAIN WHERE UPWARDS
OF 8-12 INCHES OF RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO WIDESPREAD LIFE THREATENING
LAND/MUD SLIDES.  MODELS FAVOR GRADUAL RELIEF INTO MONDAY AS THE
UPPER LOW SLOWLY EJECTS NORTHEAST...WITH POPS COMPLYING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM THU...MODEL DIFFERENCES AND RUN-TO-RUN INCONSISTENCY
CONTINUE TO LIMIT FCST CONFIDENCE INTO THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD. 12Z
GFS BEARS MORE SIMILARITY TO 00Z OPNL EC...IN THAT JOAQUIN HINDERS
THE EWD PROGRESSION AND DISSOLUTION OF THE UPPER LOW OVER THE SERN
CONUS EARLY IN THE WEEK. CONSENSUS DOES PUT THE CWFA UNDER A DRIER
AND LESS EFFECTIVE NELY LOW LEVEL FLOW MON NIGHT INTO TUE...ALLOWING
PRECIP TO COME TO AN END AND HYDROLOGIC RECOVERY TO BEGIN. GFS IS
STILL FASTER IN OPENING UP THE LOW AND TAKING IT OUT OF OUR AREA. IN
FACT IT ESSENTIALLY ABSORBS IT INTO THE MEAN PATTERN BY 00Z WED...AS
IT DEPICTS A NRN STREAM TROUGH AMPLIFYING OVER THE NE CONUS. GFS THUS
IS DRY MON NIGHT. THE EC TAKES ABOUT 24 MORE HOURS TO MOVE THE LOW
SUFFICIENTLY EAST FOR PRECIP TO END ACRS THE CWFA. THE FLIP SIDE IS
THAT THE GFS DEPICTION OF A MORE PROGRESSIVE UPPER PATTERN LATER IN
THE WEEK IMPLIES SOONER ARRIVAL OF RETURN FLOW AND PRECIP CHANCES.

THE NEW 12Z EC FIELDS AVAILABLE AT PRESS TIME SUGGEST ITS FCST HAS
CHANGED LITTLE FROM THE 00Z RUN. OUR OFFICIAL FCST WILL LEAN IN FAVOR
OF THE EC GIVEN ITS CONSISTENCY...ALLOWING POPS TO RAMP DOWN THRU THE
FIRST 24 HRS OF THE PERIOD FOLLOWED BY SETTLED WEATHER UNDERNEATH
SHORTWAVE UPPER RIDGE. I DID MAKE A SLIGHT NOD TO THE GFS AND BRING
SCHC POPS IN AGAIN ON THURSDAY. TEMPS WILL MODERATE TO NEAR CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS ATTM WILL BECOME IFR
THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE THRU THE PERIOD. SHRA...AND ISOLATED TSRA
NEAR KAVL...WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS WELL...AND COULD BRIEFLY
LOWER VSBY UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN STEADY AND EVENTUALLY HEAVIER
RA/DZ WILL LOWER VSBY TO LOW MVFR...AND POSSIBLY IFR. GUSTY N TO NE
WIND WILL CONTINUE THRU THE PERIOD AS WELL. KAVL THE EXCEPTION WHERE
NON-GUSTY NLY WIND REMAINS IN PLACE...WITH GUSTS POSSIBLE FRI.

OUTLOOK...A MOIST EASTERLY FLOW WILL SUPPORT AT LEAST PERIODIC
RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HEAVY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP ACROSS ALL OR PART OF THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND...AS
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST INTERACTS WITH TROPICAL
MOISTURE.
