Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
524 PM EDT THU JUN 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Scattered showers and storms will develop again on Friday as a weak
cold front approaches from the northwest. The front will stall over
the region Friday night through Saturday while a stronger cold front
will move through the region late Sunday into early Monday, bringing
a chance for more widespread showers and storms.  Dry high pressure
will build and persist across the eastern third of the United States
following the frontal passage, resulting in abnormally dry and
stable weather through next Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
2125 UTC Update: Sky cover was updated per satellite imagery,
resulting in a decrease in the center of our area. Pops were
adjusted per radar trends, resulting in a decrease over much of
upstate SC.

As of 245 PM EDT Thursday:  A closed upper cyclone continues to
rotate across central TX while a weak (yet strengthening) upper
ridge prevails over the southeast CONUS.  Closer home, a modestly
unstable airmass prevails as heating has allowed for ample
destabilization this afternoon across much of the fcst area. That
said, heating remains relatively non uniform as an expansive mid
level cloud deck persists across portions of the the Upstate and
western NC along and west of the I26 corridor.  The latest SPC
mesoanalysis illustrates such as sbcape values are maximized east
across along the I77 corridor, further northwest over the NC high
terrain.  Consequently, this is where convection is currently
ongoing with further development expected later this afternoon
evening, even over the more stable regions of the cwfa such as the
upper Savannah river valley.  Given ample buoyancy and at least
modest DCape, think the primary threats with any strong/severe tsra
will be gusty downburst winds with at least a non zero threat for
some quarter sized hail.  Brief localized heavy rainfall will also
be a concern as steering winds are weak this afternoon which all
could lead to minor ponding issues.  Pops this afternoon are in the
high chance to low/mid likely range with the highest of which
residing over the mtns.

Moving along, conditions will improve this evening/overnight as
heating subsides thus allowing for pops to drop off under persistent
low/mid level stratocu.  Guidance does favor at least partly cloudy
skies overnight thus think any widespread dense fog issues chances
are minimal, however pockets of reduced (4-5sm) visbs are certainly
possible towards daybreak as the BL fully decouples, especially for
areas that experience any precipitation today.  The pattern doesn't
modify all that much for Friday which will lead to another day
of airmass tsra.  That said, upper heights are expected to rise
slightly as the ridge amplifies therefore will keep pops a bit
lower over the piedmont regions for tomorrow afternoon, generally
slight chances ramping up to low end likely pops further west on
the proximity of the best subsidence.  Likewise, temperatures are
expected to be generally 2-4 degrees warmer than that of today
with highs along/south of I85 approaching the upper 80s to near
90 with upper 70s to lower 80s northward into the higher elevations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 2 PM Thursday, split/nebulous upper flow regime will gradually
evolve into a phased/high amplitude trough pattern across the
eastern US by the end of the short term period. In the interim, a
summer-like pattern will remain established, with Bermuda high
pressure supporting unseasonably warm and humid conditions through
the early part of the weekend. In fact, with the upper ridge still
exerting some influence over the Southeast on Saturday, maxes near
90 are expected across much of the Piedmont and foothills. At the
same time, cooler mid-level temps and better lapse rates should
begin overspreading the area by the end of the day, as heights begin
falling across much of the region. These factors may support some
rather robust instability Sat afternoon and evening, and 40-60 pops
for diurnal convection are warranted across the entire area by early
Saturday evening. Shear will remain too weak to support much of an
organized convective threat, but wet microbursts will certainly
remain a possibility, while large hail chances will also improve
owing to the cooling mid-levels.

The convective cycle may become less diurnal in nature Sat night
into Sunday, as deep layer wind fields improve in response to
continued height falls (indicating better chances for terrain
forcing and/or low level convergence), and deep moisture increases
downstream of the upper trough axis. Min temps will remain well
above normal Sat night.

As a long wave trough continues to take shape across the East,
current data indicate that the environment will become increasingly
supportive of organized and perhaps severe convection ahead of
pre-frontal trough and occluded front on Sunday. In fact, the latest
forecast soundings indicate deep layer shear on the order of 40 kts,
and low level shear of 30-35 kts Sunday afternoon. Although there
will not be a great deal of change regarding the thermal structure of
the environment, it appears moisture will be in much greater
abundance, thus more cloud cover and perhaps even morning convection
could limit the degree of destabilization Sunday afternoon.
Nevertheless, the moderately strong shear and expected good coverage
of storms ahead of frontal system should yield at least a slight
chance for organized severe weather.

The occluded front is expected to sweep across the area Sunday
evening, introducing drier air and bringing an end to convective
chances by the end of the period. Sunday night's min temps should
also be a little closer to climo.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Thursday: The extended period begins Monday morning
with the region in the wake of the late weekend frontal passage, and
the continental airmass following this front will usher in a
unusually lengthy period of dry and stable weather for most of next
week.

The mid- and upper-levels will be characterized by a deep
eastern CONUS longwave trough whose axis will generally run down the
spine of the Appalachians through mid-week before moving offshore.
By late week the region is underneath dry NW flow aloft as ridging
builds across the Mississippi River valley.  At the surface, dry
high pressure builds across the Ohio River valley following the
frontal passage early next week before propagating towards the
southern Appalachians by mid week.  Therefore, winds will be light
from the NW until the center of the high moves east Thursday into
Friday, when light southerly flow and weak moisture flux returns to
the region.

High temperatures will cool to near normal during the period, with
low temperatures averaging a few degrees above normal. Dewpoints
will drop into the 50s yielding very pleasant daytime relative
humidity values of 30 to 45 percent. Skies will be mostly sunny with
zero POPs from Tuesday through Friday.

Finally, with the region underneath a persistent longwave trough and
the surface front nearly stationary along the Atlantic coast, any
tropical disturbance that develops in the Gulf of Mexico will stay
well to our south and east.  Its only consequence may be to enhance
subsidence across our area, reinforcing the continental airmass.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT: Low Vfr cu/stratocu to persist through the afternoon with
convective coverage increasing amongst a destabilizing airmass.
Therefore carried vcsh in the prevailing group with a 4hr tempo to
account for any tsra impacts.  Winds adjacent to any storms could be
quite gusty given ample dcape in the vicinity thus did include gusts
in the tempo.  Otherwise, expecting few/sct low vfr clouds overnight
beneath a mid level cig.  Latest 4km nam soundings as well as select
high-res guidance do suggest development of low mvfr to ifr stratus
around daybreak once again, thus it was included in the taf.

Elsewhere: Similar to that of KCLT above with all sites carrying low
vfr to high mvfr cu through the afternoon with lowered bases
adjacent to any developing tsra.  VCTS with tsra tempos featuring
gusty winds were included at all sites, with the lowest
probabilities being over the southern I85 corridor upstate sites,
specifically KAND where destabilization has been delayed a bit.
Otherwise, few/sct low stratus under bkn mid level cigs overnight.
Did opt for mvfr visb restrictions at KAVL/KHKY around daybreak,
however with low confidence especially given uncertainty of mid
level sky coverage.

Outlook...A weak cold front will try to work into the area on
Friday, but dissipates over the area, leaving plenty of moisture
for AFTN convection again. Another front will approach from the W
and should cross the area on Sunday. So continued daily convection
is expected each AFTN/EVE thru the weekend. Drier conditions will
return behind the front on Monday.
