AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
147 PM EDT THU JUN 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF DEEP HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY
WEAKEN...ALLOWING FOR SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A TYPICAL
SUMMERTIME PATTERN OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. YET ANOTHER STRONG AND HOT UPPER RIDGE WILL
BEGIN BUILDING OVER THE AREA NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 145 PM EDT THURSDAY...LATEST RADAR TRENDS INDICATE CONVECTIVE
INITIATION ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AS EXPECTED.  17Z SPC MESOANALYSIS
PLOTS A LARGE AREA OF DCAPE IN EXCESS OF 1200J/KG ACROSS THE ENTIRE
FCST AREA...WITH A RELATIVE MAXIMA LOCATED ALONG AND SOUTH OF I85
WHERE VALUES ARE APPROACHING 1500J/KG.  THIS COMBINED WITH
SUBSTANTIAL VERTICAL INSTABILITY WILL YIELD ENHANCED WET MICROBURST
POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.  AS FOR THE FCST...TWEAKED POPS
ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES/DEWPOINTS TO BETTER REFLECT MOST RECENT
RADAR/OBS TRENDS.  AS FOR THOSE TEMPERATURES...DEVELOPING CU FIELD
HAS SLOWED DIURNAL WARMING SOMEWHAT THUS KEEPING HEAT INDICES AT
BAY AS DEWPOINTS HAVE MIXED OUT WELL.  ALL SAID...NO CHANGES PLANNED
TO THE HWO WITH THIS UPDATE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

AS OF 300 AM...THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SHOWS A LITTLE MORE WEAKENING
TODAY...WITH A FEW METERS OF HEIGHT FALLS AT 500 MB. AT THE SFC AND
IN THE LLVLS...NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY...WITH A WEAK WESTERLY
TO SOUTHWESTERLY 850 MB FLOW AND SIMILAR 1000-850 MB THICKNESSES. SO
EXPECT TEMPS TO BE WITHIN A DEG OR TWO OF YESTERDAY/S READINGS WITH
SIMILAR HUMIDITY. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN TOP OUT IN THE
98 TO 102 RANGE ACRS MOST OF THE PIEDMONT.

AS FOR CONVECTION...GUIDANCE SEEMS A LITTLE MORE BULLISH ON
RESPONSE...AS WEAKENING UPPER RIDGE ALLOWS FOR SLIGHTLY BETTER CAPE
AND LESS CIN. EXPECT SOLID CHC TO EVEN LIKELY POPS IN THE MTNS...AND
SLGT CHC TO LOW-END CHC IN THE PIEDMONT. THERE SHUD BE SUFFICIENT
CAPE AND DCAPE FOR A MARGINAL SEVERE WIND AND HAIL THREAT ACRS THE
AREA. SHEAR REMAINS WEAK...BUT TICKS UP SLIGHTLY WITH INCREASING
700-500 MB FLOW. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SHOW 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR IN THE
20-30 KT RANGE ACRS NC. SO LOOSELY ORGANIZED MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS MAY
BE POSSIBLE IN OUR NORTHERN ZONES...LIKE WHAT OCCURRED YESTERDAY TO
OUR NORTH.

TONIGHT...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION MAY LINGER WELL INTO THE
EVENING...AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
HOWEVER...OVERALL...STORMS SHUD WANE THRU THE OVERNIGHT. TEMPS WILL
BE AROUND PERSISTENCE OF LAST FEW NIGHTS...IN THE 60S MTNS AND UPPER
60S TO MID 70S PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM THURSDAY...AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY...ANY TIME A REMNANT
CIRCULATION OF A TROPICAL LOW ENTERS THE PICTURE...UNCERTAINTY GOES
UP...AND THAT WILL BE THE CASE THROUGH THE SHORT RANGE. WE BEGIN
FRIDAY EVENING WITH ONGOING CONVECTION THAT WILL HAVE A PULSE SEVERE
TYPE THREAT...THAT SHOULD WANE WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING THROUGH LATE
EVENING. OUR ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE REMNANTS OF BILL...WHICH
COME OUT ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY FRIDAY NITE AND OVER THE OH/TN
VALLEY ON SATURDAY. AS THE REMNANT LOW OPENS AND MOVES UP THE OH
VALLEY...THE MODELS STILL SUGGEST THAT SATURDAY WILL BE A BIT LESS
CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE WITH THE FLOW ALOFT COMING AROUND MORE SW...AND
SLIGHTLY LESS BUOYANCY. THE FCST DOES NOT REALLY REFLECT THIS
POSSIBILITY TO ANY GREAT DEGREE APART FROM A LOWER POP OVER THE
LAKELANDS. FCST SOUNDINGS AGAIN INDICATE THE INGREDIENTS FOR PULSE
SEVERE TYPE STORMS WITH WET MICROBURSTS. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD BE A FEW
DEGREES BELOW FRIDAY BECAUSE OF LOWER HEIGHTS AND MORE CLOUD
COVER...STILL PLENTY WARM...BUT WITH NO HEAT INDEX PROBLEMS
ANTICIPATED. WHICH BRINGS US TO SATURDAY NIGHT. THE MODEL GUIDANCE
SHOWS A MORE SOUTHWARD TREND WITH THE REMNANTS OF BILL ON SATURDAY
NIGHT...WITH THE NAM ACTUALLY HOLDING ONTO A SFC LOW THAT MOVES S OF
THE OH RIVER. THE NAM AND GFS BOTH BRING A SHORT WAVE TROF ACROSS
THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT. IF THIS WERE TO COME TO PASS...THEN SOME
WEAKLY ORGANIZED CONVECTION COULD MOVE ACROSS THE TN VALLEY THRU THE
EARLY EVENING AND MOVE INTO THE NC MTNS AFTER 00Z SUNDAY. HARD TO
SAY IF THERE WOULD BE ANY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH
THIS ACTIVITY...DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OVER ORGANIZATION. ALSO HARD TO
SAY IF IT WOULD CROSS THE MTNS OVERNIGHT...BUT THE NAM SUGGESTS NOT
IN ANY GREAT CAPACITY AS THE SFC BASED CAPE WILL BE ALL BUT USED UP
BY THE TIME THE CONVECTION WOULD ARRIVE FROM THE W. NEVERTHELESS...
THE MODELS SUGGEST HOLDING ONTO A GOOD CHANCE OF PRECIP OVER THE NC
MTNS OVERNIGHT...AND BRIEFLY KILLING OFF THE ACTIVITY E OF THE MTNS
BEFORE INCREASING IT A BIT TOWARD DAYBREAK. A BOUNDARY OF SORTS
WOULD CROSS THE FCST AREA EARLY IN THE DAY ON SUNDAY WITH SOME LOW
END PRECIP CHANCES...THEN BY AFTERNOON MOST OF THE FCST AREA WOULD
BE UNDER A FAIRLY DEEP WNW FLOW THAT WOULD BE LESS THAN FAVORABLE
FOR CONVECTION OUTSIDE THE MTNS NEAR THE TN BORDER. TEMPS WOULD
REBOUND A CATEGORY WARMER WITH THE WEAK DOWNSLOPE FLOW E OF THE MTNS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND THE LACK OF CONVECTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 335 AM THURSDAY...SUNDAY MAY WIND UP BEING RATHER TAME
CONVECTIVE-WISE...AS THE AREA WILL SPEND MUCH OF THE DAY WITHIN
SUBSIDENT AIR IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH
ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANT OF T.D. BILL. NEVERTHELESS...A FEW
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE PM...MAINLY ACROSS THE MTNS.
TEMPS WILL ALSO BEGIN TO INCREASE YET AGAIN AS HEIGHTS BEGIN RISING.
IN FACT...THIS IS THE DEVELOPING BIG STORY FOR THE MEDIUM RANGE...AS
THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
WILL BEGIN BUILDING INTO THE REGION AGAIN...THIS TIME FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. IN FACT...WIDESPREAD UPPER 90S SHOULD RETURN BY
MID-WEEK...IF NOT SOONER. THE PATTERN SHOULD REMAIN CONDUCIVE TO
ISOLATED/WIDELY SCT DIURNAL CONVECTION. WITH THE AREA LIKELY
REMAINING JUST ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER HIGH...SOME DEGREE
OF WEAK W/NW UPPER FLOW WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE PERIOD...WHICH COULD
OPEN THE POSSIBILITY OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION ORIGINATING FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY TO IMPACT THE REGION...ALTHOUGH THIS STORM TRACK IS MORE
LIKELY TO SET UP NORTH OF OUR AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
POSSIBLE PULSE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON YIELDING MVFR CONDITIONS.
INITIALIZED TAF WITH LOW VFR CU AND LIGHT SW FLOW.  EARLIER TEMPO
WAS CARRIED OVER TO ACCOUNT FOR MVFR CONVECTIVE RESTRICTIONS WITH
VRB GUSTS.  MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY...SOUNDINGS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
MICROBURST POTENTIAL THUS THIS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT TO THE
AIRFIELD IF ANY STRONGER/DEEPER CELLS MOVE NEARBY.
OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL CALM UNDER A SCT/BKN HIGH LEVEL DECK THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT BEFORE LIGHT SW WINDS AND SCT LOW VFR CU PREVAILS BY
LATE MORNING FRIDAY.

ELSEWHERE...MUCH THE SAME AS KCLT ABOVE WITH VFR PREVAILING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF POSSIBLE MVFR TSRA
RESTRICTIONS.  THUS...WHERE PROBS ARE GREATEST ACROSS THE NC
SITES...TEMPO GROUPS WHERE INCLUDED...WITH VCTS BEING THE PRIMARY
WEATHER MENTION AT THE SC SITES.  AS MENTIONED ABOVE...MICROBURST
POTENTIAL IS ELEVATED THUS THIS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY SVR WEATHER
CONCERN.  CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AFTER SUNSET WITH ALL SITES BEING
DRY AFTER 02-03Z UNDER BKN/SCT HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS.  GOING WITH
PERSISTENCE...OPTED TO CONTINUE PREVIOUS TAF MENTION OF MVFR/IFR FOG
AND PERHAPS CIGS AT KAVL AS THE MTN VALLEYS HAVE BEEN PRONE TO SUCH
OVER MORNINGS PAST.  BEYOND THAT...EXPECTING LIGHT NW FLOW AT KAVL
WHILE FLOW REMAINS BACKED SW AT ALL OTHER SITES THROUGH THE LATE
MORNING HOURS WITH LOW VFR CU DEVELOPING.

OUTLOOK...NEAR NORMAL COVERAGE OF AFTN CONVECTION IS EXPECTED INTO
THE WEEKEND WITH SCT COVERAGE OVER THE MTNS AND ISOLATED OVER THE
PIEDMONT. MORNING RESTRICTIONS DUE TO FOG AND/OR STRATUS ARE
POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY WHERE HEAVY RAIN FELL THE PREVIOUS DAY...AND
IN MTN VALLEYS.
