AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
247 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 EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT A COLD FRONT
ARRIVING TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY MAY PROVIDE SOME RELIEF.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM EDT THURSDAY...UPPER ANTICYCLONE WILL CONTINUE TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH SLOWLY FLATTENING OUT ON
FRIDAY.  CURRENTLY...SCATTERED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP
AMONGST A RATHER UNSTABLE AIRMASS.  LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS
CONTINUES INDICATE UPWARDS OF 2500J/KG SPC CAPE ALONG WITH NEARLY
1500J/KG DCAPE.  THIS SETUP IS HIGHLY SUPPORTIVE OF MICROBURSTS
WITHIN THE TALLEST OF PULSE UPDRAFTS.  ADDITIONALLY...ABUNDANT CAPE
IN THE HAIL GROWTH ZONE IS SUPPORTIVE OF SVR HAIL DESPITE FZ LEVELS
IN EXCESS OF 14KFT.  THUS...THE FCST FEATURES SCATTERED CONVECTION
THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE POPS TAPER WITH HEATING LOSS AFTER SUNSET.

THE CENTER OF THE UPPER HIGH WILL SLIDE EAST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
AND EFFECTIVELY ALLOW FOR GRADUAL HEIGHT FALLS INTO FRIDAY.  AS
SUCH...TEMPERATURES ARE FCST TO BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN DAYS
PAST WHICH WILL LEAD TO LESS INSTABILITY AVAILABLE FOR CONVECTION.
THAT SAID...WEAKER INHIBITION THANKS TO THE MIGRATION OF THE RIDGE
WILL OFFSET SUCH...ALLOWING FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN ON
FRIDAY.  EXPECTING INITIATION TO OCCUR FIRST OVER THE NC MTNS AND
NORTHEAST GA...THEN MIGRATE EAST OVER THE NC/SC PIEDMONT REGIONS
WITH THE HIGHEST PROBS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I40 CORRIDOR DUE TO
FALLEN UPPER HEIGHTS.  SINCE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FCST TO BE A TAD
COOLER...DO NOT FORESEE ANY BORDERLINE HEAT INDICES ON FRIDAY ALBEIT
STILL RATHER WARM AND HUMID WITH HIGHS TOPPING OUT IN THE MID 90S
OVER THE LOWER TERRAIN WITH 80S OVER THE MTNS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT 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 THURSDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM THU...FAST AND NEARLY ZONAL UPPER FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE
AT THE START OF THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD. A CLOSED UPPER RIDGE WILL
BE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...GRADUALLY PUSHING EWD THRU
THE EARLY WEEK AND AMPLIFYING THE PATTERN SLIGHTLY. MEAN SOUTHWEST
SFC FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THE CWFA AROUND BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE.
RATHER ORDINARY DIURNAL CONVECTION IS INITIALLY EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
MONDAY AS A RESULT. HOWEVER A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL SWING ACRS THE
AREA MON AFTN OR NIGHT. WHILE THE BETTER ENERGY WILL BE TO OUR
NORTH...THE GFS DOES DEVELOP SOME QPF RESPONSE PAST THE DIURNAL PEAK
OVER WRN NC. FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE WAVE WILL BE A BIT MORE
WESTERLY ON TUE...BUT THIS MAY CONTINUE TO ENHANCE DIURNAL
CONVECTION VIA UPSLOPE NEAR THE TENN BORDER. THE AMPLIFYING PATTERN
PUTS OUR AREA MORE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SHORTWAVES ROUNDING THE
RIDGE TO OUR WEST TUE NIGHT OR WED...AND A WEAK COLD FRONT SAGS INTO
THE AREA THEREAFTER. A WEAK SFC WAVE MAY DEVELOP NEAR THE COAST AS
IT DOES SO...THANKS TO THE CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN HOT...WITH 850 AND 1000 MB TEMPS UPWARDS OF 2 STD
DEV ABOVE CLIMO PER NAEFS. WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST MAX TEMPS IN
THE UPPER 90S EACH AFTN. THE FRONT MAY BRING A BRIEF PERIOD OF
COOLER TEMPS BEFORE THE FRONT WASHES OUT AND/OR THE AIRMASS
MODIFIES...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON WHICH DAY THIS MAY OCCUR. BY
COOLER...WE ARE STILL TALKING SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z 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.
