AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
111 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
 AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE BERMUDA HIGH THROUGH
THE WEEKEND...BRINGING INCREASED CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AND ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM
WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...HOWEVER
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL FOR MID JULY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1715 UTC UPDATE...POPS AND QPF WERE UPDATED TO ACCOUNT FOR NEW
CONVECTION FIRING ALONG AND AND EAST OF THE NC BLUE RIDGE...AND INTO
NORTHERN SC.

1440 UTC UPDATE...POPS WERE REDUCED PER RADAR TRENDS. WINDS WERE
UPDATED TO INCORPORATE THE LATEST NAM GUIDANCE. SKY COVER WAS
UPDATED FROM VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. AFTERNOON DEW POINTS WERE
ADJUSTED DOWN SLIGHTLY FOR EXPECTED MIXING...AND FOR A BETTER FIT
WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES. THIS LEAD TO MAXIMUM HEAT INDEX VALUES
ONLY VERY BRIEFLY REACHING 105 DEGREES AT A FEW SELECT POINTS IN THE
FAR SOUTHEAST PORTION GO THE AREA.

1200 UTC UPDATE...POPS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED PER RADAR TRENDS TO
ACCOUNT FOR ACTIVITY IN FAR NW NC...AND QPF ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY.
SKY COVER WAS UPDATED FROM INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY.

AS OF 330 AM...A BROAD SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE
OUR WEATHER TODAY...WITH THE CWFA ON THE NE PERIPHERY OF THE 500 MB
ANTICYCLONE. A SHORTWAVE ANALYZED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY THIS
MORNING...IS ACCOMPANIED BY A CLUSTER OF SUB-SEVERE TSTMS OVER ERN
KY. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH THE AREA TODAY. THE HIGH RES MODELS
SHOW MOST OF THIS INITIAL CONVECTION TO CROSS JUST NORTH OF THE
CWFA...BUT MAY DROP A SUBTLE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTO THE I-40 CORRIDOR
BY MIDDAY. SO THE COMBINATION OF THE SHORTWAVE AND LLVL BOUNDARY MAY
PROVIDE FOR A LITTLE BETTER LIFT FOR CONVECTION THAN LAST COUPLE
DAYS. ACCORDING TO THE 00Z MODEL CONSENSUS...WE SHUD SEE MODERATE
INSTBY IN THE MTNS...WITH A LITTLE MORE LIMITED CAPE ACRS THE
PIEDMONT. IN ANY CASE...EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ACRS THE
AREA THIS AFTN INTO EARLY EVENING. GIVEN THE BETTER CAPE
EXPECTED...CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLD PULSE SEVERE STORM. HIGH TEMPS
WILL BE AT OR A DEG OR TWO WARMER THAN YESTERDAY. DEWPTS ALSO DO NOT
LOOK TO MIX OUT AS MUCH...HOVERING IN THE MID-UPR 60S TODAY. SO HEAT
INDEX VALUES WILL BE IN THE 100-105 RANGE ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF
I-85...WHICH IS CLOSE TO HEAT ADV CRITERIA.

TONIGHT...CONVECTION SHUD WANE WITH LOSS OF HEATING AND EXITING MID
LVL SHORTWAVE. OTHER THAN SOME PATCHY MTN VLY FOG POSSIBLE...EXPECT
JUST A FEW LINGERING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS. TEMPS WILL BE IN THE 60S
MTNS AND LWR-MID 70S PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 320 AM SATURDAY...VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN THE PATTERN IS
EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL
REMAIN CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/LOWER MISS VALLEY...PLACING
THE CAROLINAS AND NORTH GEORGIA IN A WEAK NW FLOW ALOFT...WHILE
SUPPORTING UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPS (5-10 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO)
THROUGH THE PERIOD. DEEP CONVECTIVE CHANCES SHOULD REMAIN STRONGLY
TIED TO THE DIURNAL HEATING CYCLE...WITH THE EXTENT OF COVERAGE
EXPECTED TO BE TYPICAL FOR THE TIME OF YEAR. HOWEVER...CHANCES FOR
LATE NIGHT/MORNING CONVECTION WILL EXIST...MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN
AND WESTERN ZONES...AS DECAYING ORGANIZED CONVECTION PERIODICALLY
APPROACHES THE AREA WITHIN THE NW FLOW REGIME. THE PATTERN WILL
FAVOR WEAK SHEAR...MODERATE-TO-HIGH CAPE...AND LARGE DCAPE DURING
THE AFTERNOON...THUS STRONGER CELLS WILL POSE A MICROBURST THREAT
THROUGH THE PERIOD. PIEDMONT TEMPS WILL REACH THE UPPER 90S SUNDAY
AND MONDAY AFTERNOONS...ALTHOUGH W/NW LOW LEVEL FLOW/DEEP MIXING
SHOULD GENERALLY TEMPER AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS...KEEPING THEM IN THE
60S FOR THE MOST PART. THIS SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY ESPECIALLY HIGH HEAT
INDEX VALUES...BUT VALUES FROM 100-103 APPEAR LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHERN
PIEDMONT LOCATIONS BOTH DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 335 AM SATURDAY...PERIODIC HEIGHTS FALLS TRAVERSING THE
NORTHEAST CONUS MAY SUPPRESS THE SOUTHERN CONUS RIDGE A BIT DURING
THE EARLY PART OF THE MEDIUM RANGE...POSSIBLY ALLOWING A WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO DROP INTO THE AREA BY MID-WEEK. THIS WOULD
PROVIDE A SLIGHT ENHANCEMENT TO DAILY CONVECTIVE CHANCES...ALTHOUGH
FORECAST POPS WILL REMAIN NEAR...OR JUST SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO LEVELS
THROUGH THE PERIOD. IT APPEARS THAT RISING HEIGHTS WILL BE ON THE
OFFING ONCE AGAIN BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THE SLIGHTLY LOWER
MID-WEEK HEIGHTS WILL ONLY OFFER THE SMALLEST OF RELIEF FROM THE
HEAT...WITH MAXES EXPECTED TO REMAIN AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO
DURING MID-WEEK...LIKELY RETURNING TO THE UPPER 90S IN SOME AREAS BY
DAY 7.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THRU THE PERIOD...EXCEPT POSSIBLE
BRIEF RESTRICTIONS WITH TSRA. IN FACT...TSRA WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN FOR THIS TAF PERIOD. GUIDANCE IS TRENDING MORE BULLISH ON
CONVECTION ACROSS THE NC AND SC PIEDMONT THIS AFTN...PROBABLY
KICKING OFF FROM OUTFLOW FROM DISSIPATING CONVECTION CURRENTLY
PUSHING INTO THE NW NC MTNS AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING. I WILL
TEMPO IN TSRA FROM 18-21Z...THEN PROB30 UNTIL 00Z. THE STORMS WILL
HAVE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS. OUTSIDE OF
TSRA...WINDS SHUD FAVOR A SW DIRECTION THRU THE PERIOD. THERE IS
SOME POTENTIAL FOR FOG TOWARD DAYBREAK SUNDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE TOO
LOW TO MENTION IN THE TAF.

ELSEWHERE...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN SIMILAR TO CLT. WILL TIME
CONVECTION A LITTLE EARLIER THAN CLIMO...DUE TO TIMING OF A
SHORTWAVE ALOFT AND SFC BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH CONVECTION
CURRENTLY ENTERING THE NW NC MTNS. CONVECTION SHUD WANE THIS
EVENING...LEAVING SOME DEBRIS CLOUDINESS INTO THE OVERNIGHT.
DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS AT ANY TAF SITES...FOG POTENTIAL
LOOKS LIMITED TO MAINLY AT KAVL TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...THE CHANCE/COVERAGE OF AFTN/EVE SHRA AND TSRA WILL
INCREASE TO TYPICAL MID JULY NORMALS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS LLVL
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY RETURNS. THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASED CHANCES
OF MORNING FOG/STRATUS AS WELL.
