AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
302 PM EDT FRI OCT 2 2015
...HISTORIC AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING RAINFALL EVENT
EXPECTED THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...
.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DRIFT SLOWLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST UNITED
STATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND WHILE ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE PRODUCES
WIDESPREAD HEAVY TO TORRENTIAL RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION. DRY HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEGINNING TUESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230PM FRIDAY...HAD A GOOD 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN PUSH THROUGH
OVERNIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING...IN A BIT OF A LULL NOW WITH
MAINLY JUST DRIZZLE OR LIGHT RAIN ACROSS THE AREA. SYNOPTIC
FEATURES ARE NO SURPRISE AS WE HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING THIS FOR
SEVERAL DAYS NOW. ANOMALOUS MIDLEVEL CUTOFF LOW CONTINUES OVER THE
DEEP SOUTH WITH 100KT 300MB JET STREAKING NORTH ACROSS EASTERN
GEORGIA AND THE WESTERN CAROLINAS...PLENTY OF LIFT WITH DPVA AND
UPPER DIFFLUENCE FROM THE DEFORMATION ZONE NORTHEAST OF THE
MIDLEVEL LOW. THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DIVE TOWARD THE GULF
COAST TODAY BUT THEN BEGIN TO LIFT BACK NORTH TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW. SURFACE COLD AIR DAMMING FIRMLY ENTRENCHED AS WELL. ADD
TO ALL THIS THE NEAR RECORD LEVEL PW VALUES WITH MOISTURE
STREAMING IN FROM THE TROPICS AND WE HAVE THE SETUP FOR A RAINFALL
EVENT OF HISTORIC PROPORTIONS. WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE UPPER
PATTERN ALONE WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR HEAVY RAIN...THE MOISTURE FROM
JOAQUIN IS JUST ENHANCING WHAT WOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN AN
INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT EVENT ACROSS THE AREA. HURRICANE JOAQUIN
ITSELF WILL STAY WELL OFFSHORE...SO JUST TO CLARIFY...JOAQUIN
ITSELF IS NOT...I REPEAT NOT IMPACTING THE CAROLINAS.
MORE ON ACTUAL RAINFALL AND IMPACTS BELOW. OTHER MAIN IMPACT WILL
BE THE INCREASING WINDS. AS THE MIDLEVEL LOW ROTATES BACK INTO
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN GEORGIA TOMORROW...850MB JET WILL PICK UP
TO 40-50KT ACROSS THE UPSTATE. WILL HOIST A WIND ADVISORY ACROSS
THE AREA...EVEN THOUGH THE LOW-LEVEL INVERSION FROM THE DAMMING
WILL PREVENT THE REALLY STRONG WINDS FROM GETTING DOWN...SO WE
ACTUALLY REMAIN BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR ALL BUT THE
MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER...ALREADY GETTING TREES COMING DOWN OUT THERE
WITH THE SATURATED SOIL SO WE ARE GOING BASED ON IMPACTS.
LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL AGAIN BE BELOW NORMAL...AND POSSIBLY
EVEN COOLER THAN LAST NIGHT...WITH HIGHS TOMORROW REMAINING IN THE
LOWER 60S FOR MOST OF THE AREA. CLOUDY...COOL...VERY RAINY...AND
WINDY. LOVELY DAY OUT THERE TOMORROW.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT FRIDAY...NOT MUCH CHANGE OVERALL WITH THIS FCST
REGARDING THE UPCOMING HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THE SHORT TERM FCST PERIOD INITIALIZES ON SATURDAY EVENING WITH THE
EVENT BEING WELL UNDERWAY. NEARLY STATIONARY UPPER LOW WILL PROVIDE
SYNOPTIC FORCING WHILE POTENT MOIST/ATLANTIC LLV EASTERLY FLOW AIDS
UPGLIDE/UPSLOPING. SAID ENHANCED LLV FLOW AS EVIDENT ON 925/850
CHARTS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO WIDESPREAD...SUB ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTING
SATURDAY NIGHT...INTO SUNDAY MORNING WHICH DUE TO SATURATED SOILS IS
EXPECTED TO YIELD SCATTERED TREE FALLS. THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE
WIND ADVISORY THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY...WITH FURTHER EXTENSION INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS POSSIBLE. FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL ALSO PREVAIL
THROUGH SUNDAY AS AREAL/RIVER FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE.
REGARDING QPF...ALTHOUGH THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE
AMOUNTS...PLACEMENT OF THE MAXIMA IS STILL IN FLUX GIVEN THE LATEST
GUIDANCE. 12Z GFS/CMC AGREE WELL WITH A MAXIMA OF NEARLY 8-12
INCHES ALONG THE I26 CORRIDOR WHILE THE BRAND NEW 12Z ECMWF IS
ORIENTED FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE I20 CORRIDOR. REGARDLESS...A
CONSENSUS AMOUNT OF 6-10 INCHES LOOKS LIKELY ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST GA AND THE WESTERN UPSTATE. TOTALS TAPER FURTHER NORTH
INTO WESTERN NC WHERE STORM TOTALS LOOK CLOSER TO THE 5-8 INCH RANGE
AT BEST. SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS COULD OCCUR ALONG THE EASTERN FACING
SLOPES OF THE BLUE RIDGE GIVEN AMPLE UPSLOPING. ALTHOUGH THE MAXIMA
HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY SOUTH AND THEREFORE AWAY FROM THE HIGH
TERRAIN...A THREAT FOR DEBRIS FLOW REMAINS AS SOILS ARE HIGHLY
SATURATED. CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE ON MONDAY AS THE UPPER
LOW FINALLY LIFTS AND BEGINS TO EJECT NORTHEAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM FRIDAY...IT LOOKS LIKE WE SHOULD BE IN THE CLEAR FROM
LATE MONDAY EVENING ONWARD. WILL ALLOW FOR SOME LINGERING LOW END
PRECIP CHANCE OVER THE ERN ZONES TO ACCOUNT FOR THE TIMING OF THE
EXIT OF THE MOISTURE/FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPARTING STORM...
BUT EXPECT THAT TO CUT OFF BY 06Z TUESDAY. FROM THAT POINT ONWARD...
EXPECT THE WEATHER TO QUIET DOWN CONSIDERABLY AS A FLAT UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST THRU THURSDAY...SUPPORTING DRY HIGH
PRESSURE. THE PATTERN SHOULD MAKE SLOW PROGRESS THRU THE END OF THE
WEEK...SUCH THAT THE NEXT UPPER TROF APPROACHES ON FRIDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE SHOULD WEAKEN AND ALLOW FOR SOME MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT. THAT COULD PROVIDE ENOUGH FOR SOME CONVECTION OVER THE
MTNS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON...SO A SMALL PRECIP CHANCE WAS INCLUDED.
TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE..WIDESPREAD LOW MVFR TO IFR CIGS CONTINUE AS
TROPICAL MOISTURE DEEPENS. A BIT OF A LULL IN THE SHRA ACTIVITY
WITH SOME -DZ AT TAF TIME BUT -SHRA WILL INCREASE AND BECOME
MORE WIDESPREAD...BECOMING SHRA TO +SHRA THROUGH THE END OF
THE PERIOD. NE WINDS WILL CONTINUE 10-15KTG20-25KT /LIGHTER
AND MORE N AT KAVL/. EXPECT LLWS TO INCREASE TOWARD THE END OF
THE PERIOD AS WELL AS WINDS INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO TIGHTENING
GRADIENT...HAVE INTRODUCED 40KT FOR KCLT/KGSP/KGMU AND 30KT FOR
KAVL/KHKY. CONFIDENCE LOWER FOR ALL BUT KCLT.
OUTLOOK...A MOIST EASTERLY FLOW WILL SUPPORT HEAVY RAINFALL AND
WIDESPREAD RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST INTERACTS WITH TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM
THE ATLANTIC. SLOW DRYING IS EXPECTED EARLY IN THE WEEK.

.HYDROLOGY...
AS MENTIONED ABOVE...WE HAVE A BIT OF A LULL ACROSS THE AREA TODAY
BUT RAINFALL WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TONIGHT. NEW GUIDANCE COMING IN
HAS RESULTED IN SOME MINOR TWEAKS. ECMWF REMAINS THE FARTHEST SOUTH
WITH THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL ALONG THE I-20 CORRIDOR...NAM IS
OUT TO LUNCH SO HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDERED FOR THIS FORECAST...AND GFS
SUFFERS FROM SOME CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK BUT HAS SHIFTED THE AXIS
FARTHER NORTH ALONG THE I-26 CORRIDOR AND ROTATES A SECONDARY
MAXIMUM AROUND THE UPPER LOW DURING THE SHORT TERM. MAIN UNCERTAINTY
LIES WITH LOCATION OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL BUT CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY
HIGH THAT WIDESPREAD 6+ INCHES WILL FALL ACROSS THE AREA...WITH
PORTIONS OF THE UPSTATE OVER 10+. IT IS NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF
POSSIBILITIES THAT SOME LOCATIONS WILL SEE OVER A FOOT OF RAIN.
THE REGION HAS OBSERVED AN EIGHT DAY SERIES OF RAINFALL...AT TIMES
HEAVY...RESULTING IN STREAMFLOWS MUCH ABOVE NORMAL. AS DISCUSSED IN
THE AFD FROM EARLY THIS MORNING...LIFE THREATENING AND DAMAGING
FLOODS OCCUR WHEN A HEAVY RAIN EVENTS OCCURS DURING WET ANTECEDENT
CONDITIONS AND WITH STREAMFLOWS MUCH ABOVE NORMAL. FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE RANGES FROM 1.5 TO 2.5 INCHES IN 1 HOUR TO 2.5 TO 3 INCHES
IN 3 HOURS. THESE RATES WILL BE REACHED AND EXCEEDED...RESULTING IN
FLASH FLOODING ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS. IN ADDITION...EAST
FACING SLOPES OF THE BLUE RIDGE HAVE OBSERVED HIGH RAINFALL TOTALS
OVER THE CONTINUED WET PERIOD. THE POTENTIAL FOR NUMEROUS SLOPE
FAILURES AND DEBRIS FLOWS WILL INCREASE SHARPLY ONCE AN ADDITIONAL
PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...
HIGHLIGHTING BOTH FLASH FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES AND ROCKSLIDES.
THE MAJORITY OF RIVER FORECAST POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH AND
EXCEED FLOOD STAGE. SEVERAL FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED...WITH
BLANTYRE EXPECTED TO REACH MODERATE. AS THE RAIN CONTINUES TO PILE
UP...LATER FORECASTS WILL NEED TO BE TWEAKED AND ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
LIKELY ISSUED.
