Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
520 PM EDT WED JUL 6 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper disturbance will make its way across the area today. A warm
and unstable airmass should persist across the region for the
remainder of the work week as a cold front approaches the area on
Saturday. This front should stall out somewhere near the area toward
the end of the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 500 PM Wednesday: Convection has waned significantly and after
coordination with SPC, just dropped the last four counties in the
watch. The 4km WRF has been doing a good job tonight and it doesn't
redevelop anything until the convection in KY pushes toward the
mountains, but even then it has the mountains killing off most of
the activity. The HRRR wants to redevelop convection in the next
hour or so over the northern NC Piedmont and push it east through
the evening, and except for the convection that just fired north of
us here at GSP, not seeing anything in the Cu field to indicate
this. Will continue to monitor. So with this, have decreased pops
through the evening but then trended toward the increasing pops from
the west tomorrow morning. Minor tweaks to hourly trends but nothing
substantial.

Otherwise, convection is expected to diminish this evening. However,
will have to keep an eye to the west throughout the evening, as an
MCS is organizing in association with a short wave trough across the
mid-Miss Valley. Westerly shear could bring this activity toward the
forecast area by daybreak Thursday, especially in light of the fact
that the models generally agree in bringing the mid-level short wave
into western NC between 12Z-15Z. This makes for another problematic
convection forecast for tomorrow afternoon, as the wave may be
pushing to our east during peak heating, and the atmosphere may be
somewhat stabilized by morning convection. Will essentially feature
another round of 40-50 pops across the area from late morning on.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Wednesday:  The short term fcst period initializes
on Thursday evening amidst a fairly zonal flow regime aloft with a
series of embedded shortwaves as well as a deepening trof axis
sliding southeast across the upper Midwest states, while a broad
elongated subtropical ridge attempts to retrograde westward.  At the
surface, high pressure beneath said H5 ridge looks to be in control
across the southeast states as surface cyclogenesis and thus a cold
front move beneath the a fore mentioned Midwest H5 trof.  An initial
vortmax is progged to slide atop the southern Appalachians on
Thursday, with remnant convection likely ongoing across the NC high
terrain, possibly breaking containment across the NC/SC piedmont by
the time this fcst initializes.  Said convection looks to weaken
with heating loss throughout the late evening hours leading to
drying overnight conditions.

Pattern evolution into/through Friday favors abundant deep layer
subsidence as upper heights build atop the surface anticyclone.
With that, temperatures are expected to surge into the upper 90s,
possibly exceeding the century mark along and south of the I85
corridor, which combined with dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s will
present the possibility for excessive heat indices.  Despite the
amount of heating, it looks as if any llv capping will be to strong
to overcome without any significant triggering mechanisms, aside for
across the high terrain where upsloping could aid said cap erosion.
Any storms that do develop could be strong given abundant cape and
weak yet improving shear.  Meanwhile, the upper trof and associated
surface features will have advected further downstream, with the
leading of two fronts approaching the TN valley late on Friday into
Saturday as the primary upper low moves across the central Great
Lakes.  Guidance does favor convection moving along the front
however seems to also suggest a weakening trend as it moves east
encountering the deeper subsidence.

On Saturday the frontal axis is progged to stall/washout in an east
to west orientation across TN/KY.  Meanwhile, another potent/compact
H5 wave looks to eject eastward out of the mid MS river valley into
the lower OH/TN valleys with weak sfc wave development probable
along said frontal axis.  Guidance favors showers and thunderstorms
out ahead of the primary upper wave, however looks to keep any
activity to the west through the afternoon hours before convection
finally spreads across portions of northeast GA and southwest NC
near the end of the period.  Given little change in the pattern,
temperatures looks to be excessive yet again on Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Wednesday:  The medium range period kicks off on
Saturday evening as an upper trof moves eastward across the eastern
Great Lakes toward New England, while a shortwave impulse moves out
of the Ozarks into the Midsouth region and a ridge amplifies over
the central/southern Plains states.  At the surface, a weak
trof/front will enter the Appalachians region with high pressure
prevailing out ahead across northeast GA and the western Carolinas.
The front is progged to move atop/through the fcst area overnight
likely with little fanfare.  Moving along, high pressure behind the
departing upper trof looks to move across the OH valley through
Sunday into Monday with guidance favoring intrusion of a back door
front in lee of the southern Appalachians.  This fropa could provide
some relief from the heat, as well as drought conditions due to
increased shower and thunderstorm chances Sunday and Monday as the
front looks to stall out in the vicinity.  Meanwhile the above
mentioned Midsouth wave looks to become cutoff from the mean flow,
slowly working its was eastward across KY/TN, possibly adding
additional support for more widespread showers and thunderstorms as
moisture is lifted atop the stalled frontal axis.  All that said,
confidence remains low at this range given the approaching amplified
ridge pattern advecting eastward through midweek.  Temperatures
through the medium range are fcst to be a bit cooler, generally
around or just above normal levels.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
At KCLT: Have removed the TEMPO TSRA from the KCLT TAF for the 21z
AMD as convection seems to be waning in the area. Some convection
developing to the west but current trajectory would take them S of
KCLT. Will continue to monitor and adjust as necessary. Otherwise,
VFR conditions are expected along with W/SW winds at 5-10 kts should
persist through the period. Chances for diurnal convection will
increase early tomorrow, as an upper air disturbance approaches from
the NW.
Therefore, a prob30 is carried from 15Z-18Z.

Elsewhere, the best chance for convection will be around KAND over
the first couple of hours of the forecast period, and a tempo will
be carried there during that time. For the time being, opted to
limit the convective mention to a VCTS at the other sites, but will
watch closely for the need for quick amendments. This will be most
likely at KGMU/KGSP. Coverage should diminish during the evening.
However, chances for diurnal convection will increase early tomorrow,
as an upper air disturbance approaches from the NW. Therefore, a
prob30 is carried from late morning on at most terminals.

Outlook: A mainly diurnal pattern of showers and thunderstorms will
continue the rest of the week into the weekend. Fog and low stratus
will be possible each morning in the mountain river valleys and also
in locations that receive heavy rainfall from diurnal thunderstorms.
