ARKWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 7, 7:51 PM EDT, 8 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 7:51 PM EDT, 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
751 PM EDT THU JUL 7 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
The warm and unstable airmass in place over the area will persist
into the weekend providing ample chances for widespread showers and
thunderstorms. A weak cold front will approach from the northwest
over the weekend and stall near the area through early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 730 PM Thursday: After coordination with SPC, went ahead with
a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the western NC counties where low
level shear combined with modest CAPE should allow for some
continued organization of the MCS, even as the mountains continue to
tear it apart. Severe threat is low-end but there nonetheless and
felt it better to have the watch out than not. Otherwise updates for
the early evening are mainly for aviation grids. Will need to make
some significant pop updates soon to account for updated radar
trends.
For tomorrow, the upper ridge is expected to begin building into the
area from the southwest. The main impact of this will be to increase
thickness values. Combined with a decent westerly downslope flow,
temperatures are expected to be very hot tomorrow, likely reaching
the century mark across much of the upper Savannah River Valley. The
warming mid-level temps will also tend to make the atmosphere less
supportive of deep convection, especially across the southern part
of the area, where pops will be advertised at less than slight
chance. Slight to low chances will be advertised across the north.
Dewpoints are expected to mix out somewhat in the westerly flow/
deep boundary layer regime. Thus, heat indices are generally
expected to top out at less than advisory criteria (105 outside the
mtns), but some portions of the upper Savannah River Valley and the
SC Lakelands will be close.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Thursday: The short term fcst period kicks off on
Friday evening amidst deep layer ridging as an elongated H5
anticyclone remains draped across the southeast states, while a
close upper low and associated trof swing through the great lakes
region perhaps flattening the southern ridge a tad. At the surface,
high pressure centered over the eastern Gulf will be providing ample
subsidence across much of the southeast, northward over the southern
Appalachians, while a weak cold front sweeps through the northern OH
valley.
Pattern evolution through the Saturday favors said cold front
sliding into the western NC high terrain by mid/late morning, before
stalling out. Downsloping flow over the piedmont looks to be the
primary weather feature on Saturday as skies remain mostly sunny
ahead of the stalled front while llv subsidence keeps convection at
bay amongst temperatures in the upper 90s. Profiles do exhibit
steep low/mid level lapse rates across the entire fcst area which
would support strong/severe convection, if the cap breaks. However,
those same soundings favor much stronger subsidence across the
piedmont, and therefore warranting non mentionable pops, increasing
to chance levels over the mtns where upslope and frontal convergence
could initiate convection.
Meanwhile, a secondary/strong cold front looks to back door into the
region overnight into Sunday ahead of a sprawling area of high
pressure moving into/across the southern Great Lakes region. At
this point operational guidance tends to diverge a bit regarding the
eventual evolution/outcome of this front. The GFS centers the
surface anticyclone further south and thus is more aggressive with
the fropa pushing it south of the fcst area into the Midlands before
stalling out late in the day. On the other hand, the ECMWF favors a
more northern centering of the sfc ridge and thus stalls the front
atop the fcst area. Either way the front will most likely become a
focus for convection, the question is where does it set up. Will
likely hedge with regards to the fcst thereby favoring chance pops
south of I40, tapering downward further north. Temperatures on
Sunday will remain above normal, however nearly 5 degrees cooler
than that of Saturday.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 210 PM Thursday: the medium range fcst picks up at 00z on
Monday with lingering upper trofing over Northern New England and
steep upper ridging centered over the Central CONUS. The models also
generate an embedded upper shortwave on Sunday and move the feature
over the fcst area early Monday. Over the next couple of days, the
ridge axis will slide over the Eastern CONUS while a large cutoff H5
low follows in its wake but remains far to our NW. At the surface,
deep layer moisture is expected to be over the CWFA by early Monday
as a weak frontal boundary stalls out to our east. Once the boundary
washes out on Tuesday, we'll be left under weak southerly flow from
the Bermuda High that will provide ample chances for scattered to
widespread convection each day/evening. Temperatures should remain
near normal if not a few degrees above each day of the period.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere except KAVL: VFR through the period with the
exception of possible brief MVFR fog at daybreak at KHKY. Could see
some low-end gusts early in the period but winds will die down to
5kt or so overnight. Will monitor trends of slowly dissipating MCS
to see if -SHRA makes it east but confidence not particularly high.
SW winds pick up again tomorrow with low-end gusts. Convection
chances not high enough to introduce PROB30 for Friday afternoon at
this time.
At KAVL: MCS pushing through at TAF time and have continued VCTS
with TEMPO TSRA through 02z. Up-valley winds expected overnight and
should pick up tomorrow with low-end gusts. Continued previous
trend of brief daybreak MVFR fog but should be short-lived if it
occurs at all. As with other sites, convection chances not high
enough to introduce PROB30 for Friday afternoon at this time.
Outlook: A mainly diurnal pattern of showers and thunderstorms will
continue 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. A frontal
boundary may stall across the terminal area early next week to keep
the weather active.
