Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
455 PM EDT MON JUL 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak surface boundary will persist across the forecast area tonight
and dissipate overnight. Otherwise, the Bermuda high will keep warm and
moist southerly flow over the region through the week. A weak cold front
will approach the Carolinas late in the week and likely stall out over
the area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 445 PM EDT Monday:  Continuing to monitor convection
approaching the I77 corridor, as well as over the northern Blue
Ridge.  The strongest of which being to the south across Chester
County SC where cores surged upwards of 70dbz to 25-27kft, however
we still haven't gotten reports from said storm.  This convection
is working it's way eastward at this time, with additional cells
moving across Gaston County NC with further development to the
south expected, likely to affect Charlotte within a half hour.
Capes about the region remain supportive of strong/severe convection
thus am expecting additional SPS/SVR polys through evening.
Tweaked pops/temps/qpf to align with recent ob/radar trends.
Otherwise, no sig changes were made at this time.

Previous Discussion: A weak warm front will extend from the northern
Plains, across the mid-Mississippi Valley, and out into the Atlantic
via the Carolinas. As a broad 500mb low begins to shift northward
out of the Deep South, the front is expected to follow, itself very
slowly retreating northward thru Tue morning, weakening further
as low level winds veer in response do the evolving upper pattern.

Forcing from either the "front" or shortwave is rather subtle, as
one might expect this time of year. The initiation of diurnally
driven activity indeed is expected over the NC Mtns, but nearly
all the WRF-based guidance members develop clusters of convection
in a swath acrs the area near midday, progressing the activity
NE into evening. PoPs have been revised to more closely follow
their trends. 0-6km shear is progged to be no better than 20-25
kt, enough to permit loosely organized multicells. PWAT values
near 2 inches and linear hodographs suggest they will threaten
to produce areas of intense rainfall possibly with some training
of cells. DCAPE values are limited by the high moisture content,
but a damaging wind gust or two would not be out of the question
if a cold pool were able to develop. SPC has highlighted the area
in a marginal risk on Day 1 outlook; we are carrying appropriate
wording in the HWO for today.

Despite the expectation of more cloud cover, the generally southerly
flow should allow max temps to reach if not exceed Sunday's values.
Though the boundary will have retreated enough to take the better
lift off to our north, if not totally dissipated, the presence of
the shortwave and some elevated CAPE implies a slower than typical
decline in PoPs. Mins will be a little above normal tonight. Patchy
fog is expected to return to parts of WNC, particularly where
heavy rain falls this aftn.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM Monday: The mid level pattern will remain similar
Tuesday night through Wednesday night with a relative lull in
diurnal storms expected. Diurnal storm activity should increase
again especially in the mountains on Thursday as a weak trof
develops across the Tennessee Valley. Temperatures are expected to
be a few degrees above climate normals each period.
!--not sent--!

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 210 PM Monday: the medium range fcst picks up at 00z on Friday
with a broad upper trof digging down across the Great Lakes and upper
ridging spread across the western CONUS. As we move into the weekend,
the trof axis slowly passes to our north as the upper ridge very
gradually spreads farther east. At the sfc, a weak cold front is expected
to move across the fcst area on Friday, and stall out just to our southeast
over the weekend. The boundary gradually washes out by early next week,
with some degree of drying in the low and mid levels. As for the sensible
fcst, no significant changes were needed with diurnal POPs each day and
temperatures remaining a category or so above normal.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Heating and instability will support
convection this afternoon that will diminish this evening. Winds will
favor the SW this afternoon, veering to the NW overnight at all
sites by KCLT, where they veer NE. After dawn winds back to the SW
at all sites but KAVL. Guidance supports daybreak MVFR fog at KHKY
and KAND, and daybreak IFR fog at KAVL, with IFR at other sites. Low
VFR cigs are favored this afternoon, and high VFR after midnight
that erode from the SW.  Low VFR cigs return to KAVL and KHKY by
midday Tuesday.

Outlook: Fairly typical midsummer weather with PM showers and
thunderstorms expected through the end of the week. Fog and low
stratus will be possible in the mountain river valleys and also
in locations that receive heavy rainfall from diurnal thunderstorms.
