Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
344 AM EDT Fri Oct 7 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Matthew will move very near the Georgia and South Carolina
coasts tonight before tracking east late Saturday. A cold front will
sweep across the western Carolinas and Northeast Georgia Sunday,
with cool and dry high pressure settling over the region through the
middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The near-term fcst period will experience the brunt of impacts
associated with Hurricane Matthew. A shallow llvl ridge will
weaken today as the entire CWFA comes under the influence of
tropical cyclonic flow by the late evening. Moisture levels are
already saturated in the h92-h85 layer and periods of -shra/dz are
affecting the ne/rn NC zones. This precip will become more
widespread and heavier this afternoon as moisture adv is reinforced
and deepens throughout the day.

The maxima precip will follow the ridge axis as it is forced west
this afternoon...with no real hydro concerns due to dry antecedent
conds. However...later this evening and thru the overnight precip
will be focused generally across the ern zones associated with
spiraling tropical rain bands. Thru Fri night...rainfall amounts
across the far se/rn CWFA will accumulate enuf to warrant a flash
flood watch. In addition...gusty tropical winds will mix to the sfc
and although will not likely not reach adv levels...a wind adv may
be issued for impact due to saturated soils within the watch zones
by the day shift. The main impact being localized falling weak or
poorly rooted trees.

Max temps today will struggle to reach normal levels across the far
sw/rn zones...to about 10 degrees below normal over the far ne/rn
CWFA. Low diurnal curve mins will avg arnd 10 degrees above normal
with no sigfnt rad cooling due to deep cloud cover.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 340 AM Friday, latest track on Matthew shows the center of the
storm remaining just off the coast but moving slowly. The cyclone
then moves east farther into the Atlantic Saturday night and Sunday.
Expect precip to taper off through the day, but not before some
additional heavy rainfall lingers along and east of the area bounded
by I-85 and I-77, mainly during the morning. Followed QPF guidance
from WPC very closely, which gives a tight storm total rainfall
gradient of up to 4 inches over eastern Union County, NC to around 2
inches along the US 321 corridor. After coordination with out
neighboring offices, will issue a Flash Flood Watch for York,
Chester in SC and Union in NC where rain will be heaviest for the
most prolonged times. If the heavy rainfall shifts west or will be
prolonged in time, then the watch may need to be expanded. Winds are
still forecast to be below wind advisory criteria, but again any
westward shift could bring in higher winds. Will continue to
highlight the potential in the HWO, but an impact based wind
advisory may still be needed near the I-77 corridor, due to the
combination of heavy rain and wind.

Any lingering precip over the I-77 corridor will end quickly
Saturday night as dry air arrives in as Matthew moves east. Breezy
conditions may linger through the day Sunday before diminishing
Sunday night. Dry weather continues Sunday and Sunday night.
Temperatures will show a W to E gradient with above normal temps in
northeast GA and temps perhaps still below normal temps over the wrn
Piedmont of NC.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 225 AM Friday, an upper ridge starts out over the SE on
Monday. Weak short waves move by on Tue with a trough developing in
their wake. This trough remains over the area through Thursday. At
the surface, high pressure remains ridged into the area from the NE
Monday through Wednesday. Breezy conditions may linger Monday, but
winds will taper off through the week. Another short wave moves
through the upper trough on Thursday pushing a weak and dry cold
front across the area.

Temperatures will start out near to a little below normal Monday and
Tuesday then rise above normal for Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: MVFR conds all locales this morning as a llvl
e/ly moisture shield has setup atop shallow sfc ridging. Expect a
lowering to IFR cigs through daybreak all sites...with KCLT and
KHKY maintaining IFR possibly LIFR cigs through TAF period as
-shra/dz will be more likely in these locales. Other sites should
see an improvement back to MFVR arnd 18z or so...but may go back
and forth to IFR conds...esp at KAVL through the period. IFR/LIFR
vsby at KAVL/KHKY this morning may linger thru noon as the high
moisture pattern is reinforced and locks in. Other terminals will
likely see periods of MFVR/IFR vsby associated with showery
activity.

Outlook:  Hurricane Matthew moves farther northward and mainly
impacts the area tonight and Saturday with gusty winds, multiple
rounds of SHRA, and low cigs/vsbys. These will move in from the
south and depart to the east; effects are likely to be most
significant at KCLT/KGSP/KGMU. Calm high pressure will settle back
over the region in Matthew's wake, with VFR lasting thru early next
week.
