AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
757 PM EDT SUN JUN 21 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO RETURN AS A STALLED FRONT
REMAINS NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. AN UPPER TROF IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND BRINGING COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS.

1930 PM EDT UPDATE...AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM HAS ERUPTED NEAR
ASHVILLE AND A LINE OF THUNDERSHOWERS WILL BE CROSSING INTO THE CWA
FROM THE NORTH IN THE NEXT HOUR.  HRRR GUIDANCE HAS THE STORM NEAR
ASHVILLE PEAKING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AND THE STORMS TO THE
NORTH MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS.  TEMPERATURES
AND WINDS OUTSIDE OF STORMS ARE ON TRACK.

1630 PM EDT UPDATE...CURRENTLY...NO SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
FIRED UP ANYWHERE IN THE CWA.  SOME CUMULUS VISIBLE ON SATELLITE
IMAGERY OVER THE MOUNTAINS IS THE ONLY INDICATION OF POSSIBLE
CONVECTION LATER THIS AFTERNOON.  CONVECTIVE INHIBITION EVIDENT IN
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS IS SUFFICIENT TO HOLD BACK CONVECTION IN LIGHT OF A
LACK OF AN IMMEDIATE DYNAMICAL FORCING MECHANISM. CAMS HAVE SOME
ACTIVITY...BUT NOTHING PARTICULARLY INTENSE...NOR WIDESPREAD.
LATEST UPDATE FOR POPS REFLECT SUBDUED PROSPECTS FOR PRECIP. OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS.  TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS PRETTY MUCH ON
TRACK...AND ONLY MADE A SMALL TWEAK THERE.

AS OF 230 PM EDT SUNDAY...THE UPPER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO FLATTEN
ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONUS WHILE A BROAD/ELONGATED UPPER RIDGE
SETTLES ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THROUGH MONDAY.  AT THE SURFACE...A
WEAK COLD FRONT DRAPED ALONG THE OH RIVER VALLEY WILL SLOWLY MIGRATE
SOUTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH THE MAJORITY OF GUIDANCE
FAVORING AT LEAST A PARTIAL INTRUSION OVERNIGHT.  THE DETAILS OF
SUCH ARE A LITTLE LESS CERTAIN AS MOST GUIDANCE FAVORS A FRONTAL MCS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST KY ADVECTING ACROSS THE GREAT VALLEY OF TN...INTO
THE HIGH TERRAIN OF WESTERN NC AROUND MIDNIGHT.  SPC HAS PLACED THE
ORIGIN REGIONS OF THIS MCS IN THE SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER...WITH A MARGINAL RISK ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
MTNS/FOOTHILLS OF WESTERN NC.  THUS...THE FCST FEATURES INCREASING
ISOLATED/SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON
ASSOCIATED WITH DIURNAL PULSE STORMS...WITH POPS REMAINING ELEVATED
THROUGH MIDNIGHT OVER THE ABOVE MENTIONED REGIONS TO ACCOUNT FOR
POSSIBLE MCS.  FURTHER SOUTHEAST OVER NORTHEAST GA AND THE NC/SC
PIEDMONT...THE FCST WILL REMAIN DRY...HOWEVER WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF
A FEW SHOWERS BROKE CONTAINMENT AS THE FRONT/MCS SLIDES IN TONIGHT.
THIS IS ALL PREDICATED THAT THE MCS SURVIVES THE TRIP ACROSS THE
MTNS...WHICH MOST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS IT WONT.  INITIALLY CONVECTION
COULD BE STRONG/SEVERE AS IT ENTERS THE MTNS FROM THE WNW WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS.

THE PATTERN ON MONDAY FEATURES THE ABOVE MENTIONED UPPER RIDGE
BUILDING OVERHEAD WHILE THE OLD FRONT...WHICH WILL BE STALLED
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE REGION...ADVECTS BACK TO THE NORTH AS THE BROAD
BERMUDA SFC HIGH PREVAILS.  THIS RETURNING SOUTHERLY FLOW COMBINED
WITH AMPLE SUBSIDENCE WILL YIELD A DRY/HOT/HUMID FCST FOR THE LOW
TERRAIN...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FEATURED OVER THE MTNS WHERE ANY
SUBSIDENCE WILL BE WEAKEST DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.  HEAT
INDICES WILL APPROACH/EXCEED THE CENTURY MARK BUT SHOULD STAY BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA THANKS TO MIXING OF DEWPOINTS.  TEMPERATURES ON
MONDAY WILL TOP ON IN THE MID/UPPER 90S FOR THE PIEDMONT REGIONS
WITH HIGHS FIRMLY IN THE 80S OVER THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE BLUE
RIDGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM SUNDAY...MON NIGHT INTO EARLY TUE A WELL DEVELOPED LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE NRN GREAT LAKES...BRINGING A COLD
FRONT INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. MEANWHILE BROAD RIDGE OVER THE
SRN TIER OF THE CONUS WILL PERSIST. AS THE LOW PASSES NORTH OF THE
FCST AREA...SLIGHT TROUGHING COULD OCCUR AS FAR SWD AS THE
CAROLINAS...BUT THIS IS REALLY ONLY INDICATED BY THE GFS. ONCE
DIURNAL ACTIVITY DIES DOWN MON EVENING WE SHOULD BE DRY UNTIL THE
RAMP-UP WITH HEATING ON TUE. SUBSIDENCE CAPPING WILL PROBABLY KEEP
THE PIEDMONT DRY TUE BUT A CHANCE RETURNS OVER THE MTNS.
INTERESTINGLY THE NAM BRINGS THE SEA BREEZE AS FAR NORTH AS OUR SRN
SC/GA ZONES NEAR SUNSET...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW ON THIS TO
REFLECT IT IN THE FCST. THIS COULD HOWEVER PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO
OVERCOME A WEAK CAP.

WHILE THE ACTUAL FRONT WILL STILL BE MAKING SWD PROGRESS ACRS THE
OHIO VALLEY THRU THE DAY IT IS UNLIKELY TO ENCROACH ON OUR AREA UNTIL
WED AT THE EARLIEST. NAM SHOWS IT MARCHING SWD OVERNIGHT TUE NIGHT
BUT IT APPEARS WEAK ENOUGH IT WOULD MORE LIKELY STALL...BEFORE
PERHAPS ARRIVING AFTER DAYBREAK. SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND THE INCUMBENT
HIGH PRESSURE IS TOO STRONG FOR THE FRONT THOUGH...AND IT WASHES OUT
OVER THE AREA WED. PROFILES ARE SLIGHTLY MORE UNSTABLE AND UNCAPPED
EAST OF THE MTNS SO MENTIONABLE POPS ARE INCLUDED ACRS THE CWFA.
VERTICAL PROFILES HAVE SUFFICIENT DRY AIR ALOFT THAT ISOLATED PULSE
STORMS PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS MIGHT OCCUR DURING PEAK HEATING.

MAX TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE 7 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. CHOSE
BLENDS OF T/TD GUIDANCE BASED ON THOSE THAT VERIFIED BEST WITH THE
HOT CONDITIONS LAST WEEK. THE AMOUNT OF MIXING THAT OCCURS WILL
AFFECT TD/S BUT THE BEST VERIFYING GUIDANCE REFLECTS LITTLE OF THIS.
PORTIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-85 WILL SEE HEAT INDICES PEAK NEAR 105
BOTH DAYS...AND ADVISORIES CANNOT BE RULED OUT. WILL ADD EXCESSIVE
HEAT WORDING TO THE HWO FOR WED.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 205 PM EDT SUNDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON
THURSDAY WITH BROAD UPPER RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CONUS
AND UPPER TROFFING OVER SE CANADA. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS...HEIGHTS GRADUALLY LOWER WHILE MULTIPLE LOBES OF EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIPPLE BY TO OUR NORTH. OVER THE WEEKEND...THE LONG
RANGE GUIDANCE HAS THE UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFYING OVER THE WESTERN CONUS
WHILE A SOUTHERN STREAM UPPER TROF DIGS DOWN ACROSS THE MISS RIVER
VALLEY AND TOWARDS THE CWFA. AT THE SFC...THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL
REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN FOR THE REGION THRU THE
PERIOD WITH NUMEROUS WEAK LOWS BEING GENERATED OVER THE PLAINS AND
PROPAGATING EASTWARD. THESE SYSTEMS SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR NORTH WITH
THEIR ASSOCIATED FRONTS MOSTLY WASHING OUT AS THEY DRIFT SOUTHWARD.
IT DOES APPEAR THAT SOME DEGREE OF LEE TROFFING WILL DEVELOP EACH
DAY WITH IT BEING MORE PRONOUNCED ON SAT AND SUN AS THE LOWS
GENERATED APPEAR TO BE MORE ORGANIZED. AS FOR THE SENSIBLE
FCST...DIURNAL CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE EACH DAY WITH CHANCES
GENERALLY HIGHER OVER THE MTS AND NC FOOTHILLS. CHANCES INCREASE FOR
SAT AND SUN WITH THE INCREASING DEEP LYR MOISTURE OVER THE REGION
AND BETTER UPPER LVL SUPPORT OVERHEAD. TEMPS START OUT WELL ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGY AND GRADUALLY DECREASE THRU THE PERIOD WITH VALUES
ENDING RIGHT AROUND NORMAL...IF NOT JUST ABOVE...BY DAY 7.

AT KCLT...THUNDERSTORMS  NORTH OF THE AERODROME IN VA AND NC ARE
MOVING SOUTHWARD BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH KCLT IN SEVERE
FORM...THOUGH WEAKENED REMNANTS MAY REACH THE VICINITY AROUND 3Z.

ELSEWHERE...SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE KAVL AREA
WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO AND GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTH-
SOUTHEASTWARD.  CURRENT RAIN IN THE KAVL AREA...AND ANY OTHER AREAS
RECEIVING RAIN WILL MAKE FOR AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR FOG IN THE LATE
NIGHT/EARLY MORNING PERIOD.  LEFT FG/BR OUT OF KHKY FOR THE TIME
BEING AS NO RECENT RAIN HAS FALLEN THERE.  REMNANTS FROM A LINE OF
STORMS IN VA WILL GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTHWARD INTO AN AREA NORTH OF A
LINE FROM KAVL TO KHKY.

OUTLOOK...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL REMAIN DIURNAL INTO THE 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.
