AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
358 PM EDT FRI JUN 19 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF TROPICAL SYSTEM BILL WILL MOVE UP THE
OHIO VALLEY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY...WITH ASSOCIATED MOISTURE LIKELY
BRUSHING WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA LATE SATURDAY. A SLIGHT BREAK IN THE
HEAT IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BUT WITH TEMPERATURES STILL
ABOVE NORMAL. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN GRADUALLY GET
REESTABLISHED EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH A STATIONARY FRONT DEVELOPING
NORTH OF THE AREA. VERY HOT CONDITIONS WILL RETURN AND PERSIST FOR
MOST OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
2000 UTC UPDATE...POPS AND QPF HAVE BEEN UPDATED PER RADAR
TRENDS... FAVORING THE INTERSTATES 40 AND 77 CORRIDORS. SKY COVER
WAS UPDATED FROM VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY...INCREASING COVERAGE IN
THE NORTH...AND DECREASING IT IN THE SOUTH.

AS OF 230 PM EDT FRIDAY...DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO
PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AS HEATING WORKS TO DESTABILIZE THE
ATMOSPHERE.  CURRENTLY...ISOLATED/SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS BEEN ABLE
TO ACHIEVE SEVERE LIMITS WITH WIND DAMAGE REPORTS HAVING BEEN
RECEIVED FROM AREAS OF WESTERN NC.  THE AIRMASS CURRENTLY
EXHIBITS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND
DOWNDRAFT CAPE TO YIELD PULSE SEVERE STORMS.  GUIDANCE TENDS TO
FAVOR WESTERN NC FOR THE BEST COVERAGE WHERE UPPER HEIGHTS FALLS ARE
BEST DUE TO THE FLATTENED UPPER ANTICYCLONE.  THEREFORE...THE FCST
FEATURES SCATTERED/NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
MTNS...EASTWARD ALONG THE ENTIRE I40 CORRIDOR INTO THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS.  FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN NC PIEDMONT...UPSTATE
SC...AND NORTHEAST GA...ISOLATED/SCATTERED POPS ARE FAVORED.

AS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE ACROSS
MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY OVERNIGHT...MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS
WILL INTRUDE INTO THE SOUTHERN APPS.  NORTHERLY WINDS AT THE SURFACE
THANKS TO PASSING HIGH PRESSURE WILL GIVE WAY TO VEERED FLOW AS THE
PG INCREASES AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING CYCLONE.  WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO RAMP UP AROUND LATE MORNING WITH WIDESPREAD GUSTING IN THE
20-30MPH RANGE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY.  SKIES WILL
GRADUALLY LOWER AS HEATING BUILDS GIVING WAY TO LOW LEVEL CU.
SOUNDINGS INDICATE YET ANOTHER UNSTABLE DAY THAT WILL LIKELY YIELD
ISOLATED/SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THUS THE POPS REFLECT SUCH WITH THE
HIGHEST POPS ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40.  ADDITIONALLY...AS
THE UPPER/SFC WAVES APPROACH ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF
BILL...SHEAR WILL GREATLY INCREASE ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION WITH THE
BEST SHEAR PRESENT OVER THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU INTO WESTERN NC.  12Z
NAM BUF SOUNDINGS FROM KAVL/KTNB INDICATE APPROXIMATELY 200M2/S2
0-3KM SRH AMONGST STEEP LAPSE RATES SUPPORTIVE OF 2K JOULES SB
CAPE.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THESE CAPE VALUES ARE A BIT
OVERDONE AS SKIES WILL BE INCREASINGLY CLOUDY THUS INHIBITING
HEATING.  ALL SAID...THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME ORGANIZED/SEVERE
WITH SOME EMBEDDED ROTATION POSSIBLE OVER THE WESTERN NC MOUNTAINS
WITH DAMAGING WINDS...HAIL...AND EVEN AN ISOLATED TORNADO BEING A
POSSIBILITY INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.  FURTHER
SOUTH AND EAST OVER THE LOWER TERRAIN EXPECTING SHEAR TO BE REDUCED
SOMEWHAT THEREFORE ITS LESS LIKELY THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AS
ORGANIZED.  QPF ACROSS THE MTNS IS ALSO ELEVATED...HOWEVER GUIDANCE
FAVORS A FAIRLY FAST MOVING SYSTEM THUS ONLY ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN AND
OR FLOODING IS POSSIBLE/EXPECTED.  ALTHOUGH STILL ABOVE
NORMAL...TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WILL BE A TAD COOLER THAN TODAY
THANKS TO INCREASED CLOUDINESS AND LOWERING THICKNESS VALUES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM EDT FRIDAY...THE MODELS HAVE COME TO A CONSENSUS WITH
MOVING THE UPPER SHORT WAVE TROF ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF
BILL ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY EVENING AND THEN CARRY IT OFF TO THE
EAST EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SO...AFTER SOME RESIDUAL CONVECTION
ACROSS THE REGION LATE SATURDAY...WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO RAMP THE
PRECIP PROB DOWN TO JUST A SMALL CHANCE NEAR THE TN BORDER...WHERE
LEFTOVER MECHANICAL LIFT COULD FORCE A FEW PATCHES OF PRECIP INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. FROM THAT POINT ONWARD...WE HAVE A W/NW FLOW THRU A
FAIRLY DEEP LAYER FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE RESULTING DOWNSLOPE
FLOW E OF THE MTNS SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL HAVE TWO EFFECTS...ONE
WILL BE TO RAISE TEMPS...AND THE OTHER WILL BE TO PROVIDE SOME SMALL
CONVECTIVE INHIBITION WITH A WEAK CAP. HAVE BUMPED TEMPS UP JUST A
BIT ABOVE THE GUIDANCE WITH THE EXPECTATION OF A SLIGHTLY WARMER
TREND. MIN TEMPS WILL ALSO BE QUITE MILD. HAVE ALSO LIMITED THE
PRECIP TO SLIGHT CHANCE E OF THE MTNS. THE NC MTNS COULD SEE
SCATTERED COVERAGE BOTH DAYS. IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING TO GO...THERE
WILL BE A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT BOTH DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM FRI...IT NOW LOOKS LIKELY THERE WILL BE LITTLE RELIEF
FROM THE HEAT UNTIL NEAR THE END OF THE WEEK AT THE EARLIEST. BROAD
AND STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE FROM THE SRN PLAINS TUE TO THE
SOUTHEAST THU. CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT A STRONG
DIURNAL SIGNAL DURING THE PERIOD...BUT THE RIDGE APPEARS TO PROVIDE
ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE CAPPING EAST OF THE PIEDMONT TO MAKE FOR MOSTLY
JUST SCHC POPS. FASTER FLOW AROUND THE RIDGE COULD POTENTIALLY CARRY
REMNANT MCS ACTIVITY AND/OR EDDIES OUT OF THE MIDWEST AND INTO THE
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THE GFS DEPICTS ONE SUCH FEATURE MOVING NEARBY
DURING THE DAY WED. CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE OF THE PULSE VARIETY
WHERE IT OCCURS...AS BOTH CAPE/DCAPE WILL BE STRONG BUT SHEAR QUITE
WEAK.

MEANWHILE A SHORTWAVE AND WEAK LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG THE
US/CANADA BORDER WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT INTO THE OH VALLEY. THE UPPER
PATTERN AMPLIFIES SLIGHTLY BEHIND THAT SYSTEM...AS THE RIDGE BUILDS
EWD ACRS THE SUN BELT. LATEST PROGS SUGGEST THE RIDGE WILL HOLD OFF
THE FRONT AS IT CENTERS OVER OUR CWFA THU...WITH THE FRONT FINALLY
SAGGING THRU LATE FRI. TEMPS LOOK TO TOP OUT NEAR 100 ACRS THE
PIEDMONT TUE-THU WITH RECORDS MOST ENDANGERED WED AND THU. HEAT
INDICES ARE STILL IN QUESTION AS PREVIOUS SHIFT NOTED...WITH
DEWPOINTS POTENTIALLY MIXING OUT MORE THAN GUIDANCE ACCOUNTS FOR.
WILL NOT YET HIGHLIGHT EXCESSIVE HEAT POTENTIAL IN HWO. BY FRIDAY
TEMPS SHOULD COOL A FEW DEGREES BUT REMAIN A COUPLE CATEGORIES ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF CYCLE WITH THE
POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF MVFR TSRA RESTRICTIONS THIS AFTERNOON.
INITIALIZED TAF VFR AMIDST SLOWLY VEERING SW FLOW AND SCT LOW VFR
CU.  WINDS WILL CONTINUALLY VEER NW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS A MESO
HIGH SLIDES BY TO THE NORTH ALLOWING A WEAK BOUNDARY TO INTRUDE
ACROSS WESTERN NC.  LIKEWISE...CONVECTION WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE NC
PIEDMONT THIS AFTERNOON WITH HEATING...POTENTIALLY AIDED BY
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE AFORE MENTIONED BOUNDARY.  THIS WAS HANDLED
WITH A 4HR TEMPO...THAT COULD BE EXTENDED FURTHER.  BEYOND THAT
EXPECTING CONDITIONS TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE AS NORTHERLY FLOW PREVAILS
OVERNIGHT AND HEATING IS LOST.  SKIES WILL GRADUALLY SCT AND LIFT TO
MID LEVELS BY MORNING WITH WINDS VEERED E TO ESE.  LASTLY...WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO VEER AND INCREASE AS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEP
BILL SLIDE ACROSS KY ALLOWING FOR ENHANCED PGF...THUS 20KT-25KT
GUSTING IS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE TAF CYCLE...AND LIKELY IN THE NEXT
TAF CYCLE.

ELSEWHERE...MUCH THE SAME AS KCLT ABOVE WITH VFR PREVAILING ASIDE
FOR AFTERNOON TSRA ALONG WITH VISB/CIG RESTRICTIONS AT THE NC SITES
AND KAND SATURDAY MORNING.  INITIALIZED ALL TAFS VFR WITH TSRA
TEMPOS AT THE NC SITES WHERE CONDITIONS ARE MOST FAVORABLE...AND
VCTS MENTIONS AT THE SC SITES.  PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL LOWER INTO
THE EVENING HOURS AS HEATING IS LOST AND THE ATM BECOMES WORKED
OVER.  LOW VFR CU WILL SCT TO MID LEVELS ASIDE FOR AT KAVL WHERE MTN
VALLEY MVFR/IFR STRATUS/FOG IS POSSIBLE.  WINDS WILL VEER NORTHERLY
AT ALL SITES OVERNIGHT AS THE ABOVE MENTIONED MESO HIGH SLIDES BY TO
THE NORTH...YET WILL VEER/INCREASE SHARPLY BY LATE MORNING ON OUT OF
THE SE THEN SW AS OLD TROPICAL DEP BILL APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
20KT-30KT GUSTING IS LIKELY AT ALL SITES ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY DIURNAL AS
ANOTHER SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SETS UP LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO THE NEW
WORK WEEK.  AS A RESULT...THE GREATEST CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON
SHRA/TSRA WILL BE ACROSS WESTERN NC WHERE THE LEAST SUBSIDENCE WILL
RESIDE.  MORNING RESTRICTIONS DUE TO FOG AND/OR STRATUS ARE
POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY WHERE HEAVY RAIN FELL THE PREVIOUS DAY...AND
IN MTN VALLEYS.
